Mo Wuji entered the first-floor lobby of the Yi Hai Trading Company, and he almost thought he had come to a modern office building.

The first-floor lobby was very spacious, with a row of counters near the back. The counters were not for selling things, but were labeled with various signs. For example, Seafood Trading Counter, Grain Trading Counter, Fishing Gear Trading Counter, and so on.

Each counter had a clerk sitting behind it, and behind each counter was a door leading to a room.

The clear categorization was obviously intended to improve efficiency.

Many people were sitting in the lobby waiting to trade. After listening for a while, Mo Wuji knew that most of the people here were doing wholesale business.

There was also a large sign leading to the second floor, which read, "Immortal Item Trading and Treasure Trading on the Second Floor."

"Friend, what would you like to trade?" A clerk, noticing that Mo Wuji had been looking around for a while without making a decision, walked up and asked.

Mo Wuji said, "Is your manager here? I want to inquire about how immortal item trading is done."

Immortal item trading? The clerk was slightly stunned by Mo Wuji's words, and then said, "Friend, not everything can be called immortal item trading. Show me what you have first. If it's worthy of immortal item trading, I'll take you to the second floor."

Mo Wuji's face darkened. "What are you? How dare you look at my treasure? Go call your boss. If he doesn't come, don't blame me for finding someone else to trade with."

As Mo Wuji spoke, his spiritual will had already penetrated the entire Yi Hai Trading Company. As he expected, the Yi Hai Trading Company was full of restrictions that shielded spiritual will. Not only was it forbidden to scan the second floor with spiritual will, but the underground was also off-limits.

"What is your treasure?" A low voice came, and a middle-aged man in a gold robe walked over.

This was a late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivator. Mo Wuji didn't need to scan with his spiritual will; he knew the man's cultivation level as soon as he saw him.

"Who are you?" Mo Wuji asked.

The clerk immediately said, "This is our Trading Company's Steward Wu. He is in charge of the immortal item trading on the second floor."

Mo Wuji casually took out a fourth-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb, Azure Dwelling Wood. "This is an Immortal Spiritual Herb I obtained. I don't know what grade it is. I just know that this Immortal Spiritual Herb feels very comfortable in my hand, so it must be extraordinary."

Seeing the Azure Dwelling Wood in Mo Wuji's hand, the middle-aged Steward Wu's eyes lit up, but he nodded calmly. "Not bad, this is indeed a second-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb, Azure Spiritual Herb. It can be used for immortal item trading. Come upstairs with me."

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly. This guy was shameless. A fourth-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb immediately became a second-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb in his mouth. Azure Dwelling Wood was a decent fourth-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb that could be used to refine Wilted Wood Pills. Wilted Wood Pills were for preserving appearance. As long as one took the Wilted Wood Pill, their appearance would not change, which was equivalent to a rejuvenating effect.

Even for immortals, this kind of pill was very valuable. As for the second-grade Immortal Spiritual Herb Azure Spiritual Herb, Mo Wuji, as an eighth-grade Pill Emperor, had never heard of such an Immortal Spiritual Herb.

"I'm not selling this Immortal Spiritual Herb; I only want to exchange it for two people." Mo Wuji casually put the Azure Dwelling Wood back into his pocket. His hand trembled slightly as he did this, as if showing his inner fear.

Steward Wu frowned slightly at Mo Wuji's casual action and asked somewhat impatiently, "Exchange for whom?"

"My grandfather Yu Sheng and my sister-in-law Lian Yingxian." Yu Jingfeng, standing behind Mo Wuji, quickly said.

Steward Wu's face darkened, and his tone turned cold. "They two have committed a major crime and cannot leave the Yi Hai Trading Company for the time being."

"Then, Immortal Master, can we go see them first?" Mo Wuji asked with a worried tone.

Steward Wu suddenly smiled. "Of course, our Yi Hai Trading Company is the most reasonable. Yu Sheng and Lian Yingxian won't be detained for long either. Once the matter is investigated, they will be released."

"Then I must trouble Immortal Master to lead the way." Mo Wuji's face was full of panicked smiles.

"Alright, follow me." Steward Wu walked inside without saying anything else.

Mo Wuji knew very well what Steward Wu was planning. He was going to show them Yu Sheng and Lian Yingxian and then take the Azure Dwelling Wood. He pretended not to know and followed Steward Wu inside with Yu Jingfeng.

A few minutes later, Steward Wu walked to the innermost room and opened the door.

As soon as they entered the room, Mo Wuji saw a restriction. Steward Wu took out a jade token and tapped it on the restriction.

A gloomy staircase appeared in the middle of the room. Steward Wu casually said to Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng, "They are inside, follow me."

The descending staircase became increasingly damp. After walking for two full minutes, they arrived at a huge underground prison.

This place no longer had restrictions that shielded spiritual will. The prison was divided into dozens of small iron rooms, and almost every room had prisoners locked up.

A terrible stench wafted over, making one want to vomit. Mo Wuji saw several empty iron rooms with chains still locked to a few dried-up skeletons.

Mo Wuji's gaze quickly swept to Yu Sheng and Lian Yingxian. Lian Yingxian was huddled in the corner of the iron room, and a jailer was standing in front of her, seemingly forcing her to do something. The jailer was so engrossed that he didn't notice the three of them coming down at all.

After Lian Yingxian shook her head, he raised his hand and tore off Lian Yingxian's top.

Lian Yingxian screamed and huddled further into the corner. Steward Wu snorted, and the jailer came to his senses, quickly ran out, and respectfully bowed to Steward Wu. "Steward."

"Go clear out another room, the family of the prisoners are here." Steward Wu said indifferently.

"Yes." The jailer responded, glancing at Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Yu Jingfeng, who was rushing towards the iron room, suddenly stopped. He looked back at Steward Wu in horror, then looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief and asked, "Big Brother Da Huang, are we, are we going to be locked up here too?"

When he came in just now, Yu Jingfeng had already seen the situation in this prison. He knew that if he was imprisoned here and couldn't get out, it would be a dead end.

Mo Wuji was also speechless. He thought Steward Wu just wanted the Azure Dwelling Wood, but he didn't expect this guy to be even more scheming, simply bringing them down and locking them up as well. As expected, in the eyes of these immortals, mortals were worse than ants.

"Jingfeng, why are you here?" Yu Sheng was anxious when he saw Yu Jingfeng. Mo Wuji was an Immortal Master, but the Yi Hai Trading Company was full of Immortal Masters.

Mo Wuji also asked in shock, "Immortal Master, are we going to be locked up here too?"

Although he was speaking, Mo Wuji was extremely puzzled. Lian Yingxian was at least a late-stage Grand Luo Immortal. Even if she was deliberately captured, she shouldn't be bullied to this extent, right?

Before the middle-aged steward could answer, a violent crash resounded as a thin man walked in carrying a slightly chubby man.

"Chairman…" Steward Wu exclaimed when he saw the guy being carried by the thin man.

Mo Wuji thought, so this slightly chubby guy was the Chairman. His cultivation was indeed higher than Steward Wu's, already at the mid-stage Golden Immortal level. However, the thin man carrying him had even higher cultivation, at the early-stage Grand Unity Immortal level.

A small mortal city actually had a Grand Unity Immortal.

Steward Wu obviously knew that this thin man was strong. Even the Chairman had been captured, so killing him would be easy. He subconsciously began to retreat, but just as he took three steps back, a blade of light flashed from the thin Grand Unity Immortal. Steward Wu was directly split in half, and even his primordial spirit didn't escape.

"Who is from Qingze Village?" After killing Steward Wu, the thin Grand Unity Immortal asked indifferently as if nothing had happened.

Mo Wuji immediately sent a voice transmission to Yu Jingfeng, telling him to tell the truth. Yu Jingfeng quickly said, "Immortal Master, my sister-in-law is from Qingze Village."

Lian Yingxian seemed to have recovered, and quickly said, "I am from Qingze Village, ah…"

Hearing Lian Yingxian exclaim in surprise, the thin Grand Unity Immortal asked, "Do you recognize this person?"

As he spoke, the thin Grand Unity Immortal threw the slightly chubby Chairman in his hand to the ground.

Lian Yingxian nodded. "Yes, he is the one who went to Qingze Village and killed Duo Sheng and Duo Cai…"

"Tell me the situation at that time in detail." The thin Grand Unity Immortal's eyes lit up, his tone even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Lian Yingxian didn't dare to hide anything, and said cautiously, "He and another person went to Qingze Village, and they asked Duo Sheng to take out a jade box. After Duo Sheng took out the jade box, he killed Duo Sheng and Duo Cai. At this time, he was ambushed by another person, and then they fought."

"Chairman Rong Xu, I didn't expect you to be crying wolf. You took the thing yourself, but you imprisoned the witnesses here, then pretended to be mysterious? I'll give you three breaths to tell me where the thing is?" The thin Grand Unity Immortal sneered, throwing the man in his hand directly on the ground.

The sound of bones breaking came, and the Chairman named Rong Xu quickly shouted, "Senior, please have mercy, the thing is indeed hidden by me, I'll go get it for you…"

"No need, if you can't take it out from your body, I'll kill you directly. If you can take it out from your body, I'll spare your life, but I'll remove one of your arms." After the thin Grand Unity Immortal finished speaking, he raised his hand, and another wind blade came down, directly cutting off one of Rong Xu's arms.

"I'll take it out, I'll take it out…" Rong Xu knew that if he didn't take it out, the other party would definitely kill him.

As he spoke, Rong Xu had already taken out a jade box. Even Mo Wuji didn't see where this guy had hidden the jade box. He sighed inwardly. These guys were all born of schemes.

Rong Xu was ambushed by his companion, but he survived in the end. This showed that his companion was already dead. After this guy survived, he began to cry wolf, which showed that he knew this box would be leaked. Mo Wuji suspected that he was deliberately ambushed.

And this thin Grand Unity Immortal was even more powerful, actually finding out about Rong Xu.

The thin Grand Unity Immortal had already opened the jade box, and Mo Wuji caught a strong water-attribute aura, and Mo Wuji's eyes lit up. He never dreamed that he would see a Water Essence Bead in this mortal city.
