Chapter 2442: Chapter 2442: Thunder Vortex

Daoist Tie Gu chuckled.

"Daoist Zhou, don’t worry, we won’t be late."

"By the way."

"Since it’s Daoist Zhou’s first time attending the Dark City Marketplace, let me offer a few words of advice, I hope you won’t mind me being talkative."

Zhou Yu immediately said:

"Daoist Tie Gu, you are too kind, please go ahead and enlighten me."

Daoist Tie Gu smiled:

"Actually, these principles are likely known to Daoist Zhou."

"However, the Dark City Marketplace is particularly unique compared to others, so there are indeed some special aspects."

Following this, Daoist Tie Gu began to eloquently share over ten points for attention.

After listening, Zhou Yu immediately clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you, Daoist Tie Gu, for your guidance. This counsel is very helpful to me."

Daoist Tie Gu was quite satisfied with Zhou Yu’s humble attitude.

Then he glanced at the time.

"It’s about the right hour."

"Let’s head off."

"There are more than ten entrances to the Dark City Marketplace, and the chance of encountering others at each entrance is not high."

"However, to be safe, let’s hide our auras and change our appearances beforehand."

"Daoist Zhou, do you have a related Magic Artifact? If not, I could lend you one."

Zhou Yu laughed:

"There’s no need for that, I have such artifacts."

With that, Zhou Yu took out the Dark Night Cloak and draped it over his body.

Once adorned, his entire being was wrapped in the cloak, his aura vanished without a trace.

He then took out a mask and placed it on his face.

Next, he performed the Body Transformation Technique.

In an instant, he changed from a young man into a burly giant.

Witnessing this, Daoist Tie Gu revealed a look of surprise.

He wasn’t surprised by Zhou Yu’s change in appearance or the mask on his face.

His attention was fixed on the cloak Zhou Yu was wearing.

Because he discovered that his Divine Sense could not penetrate the cloak at all.

Daoist Tie Gu remarked thoughtfully:

"Daoist Zhou, this cloak is not simple."

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"It was a gift from a friend."

This item was originally given to him by Liu Ye from the Ancient Realm.

Though the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans might not be in the best situation, their resources far exceed those of the Human and Demon Clans.

Therefore, what Liu Ye considered a regular treasure was already top-level among the Human and Demon Clans.

Daoist Tie Gu did not inquire further, instead, he performed a spell, and soon, a purple-black stream of air appeared around him, completely concealing his figure.

Once everything was ready, Daoist Tie Gu and Zhou Yu flew towards the outskirts of Jiulong Mountain.

Meanwhile, in various places around Jiulong Mountain, several Integration Realm cultivators also left their altars, heading in different directions at high speed.

Half a day later, Zhou Yu and Tie Gu arrived at a mountain stream about several million miles from Jiulong Mountain.

When they arrived, there were already two people at the waterfall of the stream.

These two stood on opposite sides, several miles apart, not interfering with each other.

One person wore a huge golden armor, enveloping his entire form, his image and aura impervious to Divine Sense.

The other was surrounded by a layer of green smoke, seemingly unobtrusive yet completely covering his figure.

Seeing these two, Zhou Yu merely glanced without actively releasing his Divine Sense.

This was precisely what Daoist Tie Gu had advised him.

Because those attending the Dark City Marketplace are all major figures of Integration Realm and above.

These big figures particularly detest being probed by Divine Sense.

Zhou Yu and Tie Gu simply found another side of the stream and stood together.

The three groups formed a triangular stance.

Everyone mutually refrained from speaking, silently waiting.

After another half-day, a swift figure arrived, appearing above the stream in the blink of an eye.

Upon arrival, this person immediately scanned the crowd at the stream.

He then revealed a look of surprise.

Apparently, he hadn’t expected so many people at this mountain stream.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, he regained his composure, looking for a new spot to sit cross-legged.

After yet another half-day.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt something stir within his heart.

The next moment, he opened his palm to reveal a Talisman appearing on it.

This Talisman was precisely the entrance ticket to the Dark City Marketplace.

At this moment, the Talisman was flashing rapidly.

Simultaneously, similar Talismans appeared in the hands of the other persons present.

As soon as everyone took out their Talismans.

Buzz!

A low, deep rumble suddenly emanated from above the stream.

Following this came a strong spatial fluctuation.

Accompanying the spatial fluctuation, a mass of dark cumulus clouds quickly formed in the surrounding sky.

Lightning flickered within the cumulus clouds.

The scene was reminiscent of a Tribulation Crossing.

However, differing from a Tribulation Crossing, within the cumulus clouds, there appeared a massive Thunder Vortex.

The Thunder Vortex, initially turbulent, soon stabilized.

At this time, everyone calmly watched the Thunder Vortex.

Before long, a silhouette emerged from the Thunder Vortex.

The figure wore a large cloak, enveloping his entire body.

Moreover, around him surged thick clouds of Black Qi.

At this moment, the person in golden armor suddenly spoke up.

"Are you the escort envoy for the Dark City Marketplace?"

Upon hearing this, the shadow replied coolly:

"Correct."

"The rules are well-known to you, I assume."

"Only those with invitations may enter; intruders will be executed without mercy."

The shadow’s words were extremely arrogant and overbearing.

Instantaneously arousing discontent among them.

Everyone who came here is an elder of some kind; they had never been scolded like this.

Especially the person in golden armor, although he didn’t reveal his face, his body was brimming with anger.

Nonetheless, that was all; the armored person ultimately said nothing more.

The shadow scanned the crowd, then promptly took out a banner, tossing it towards the Thunder Vortex above.

Subsequently, he began to cast a spell.

A moment later, streams of intense void radiance surged from the Thunder Vortex.

The void radiance instantly enveloped Zhou Yu and the others.

As they were enveloped, Zhou Yu felt a powerful spatial pull.

So strong that even his physical strength couldn’t resist against it.

Under the pull of this Spatial Force, Zhou Yu and the others were lifted off the ground, entering the Thunder Vortex one after another.

Within just a moment, Zhou Yu and the others disappeared into the Thunder Vortex.

After completing this process, the shadow figure flashed and also entered the Thunder Vortex.

As his figure vanished, the Thunder Vortex swiftly dissipated, and in no time, the sky above the stream returned to tranquility, as though nothing had ever happened...
