Li Zhirui did not respond, as he did not wish to have a servant who might rebel at any moment. The black-robed cultivator's expression suddenly turned fierce, and with a face full of madness, he yelled, "You forced my hand! Die with me!" Just one second before the chilly mist could envelop him, he threw his spirit sword toward Li Zhirui's location and inverted his mana, his aura becoming violent. Li Zhirui's face slightly changed, and he immediately retreated at high speed. Without his control, the spread of the cold air slowed considerably. However, the explosion he anticipated did not happen, or to be precise, it was only a rather weak explosion. The spirit sword exploded! But the black-robed cultivator took the opportunity to escape far away, disappearing without a trace after a few miles. Li Zhirui's face turned somewhat ugly, as he hadn't expected to be played! "Let's go!" The three people who had hoped to take advantage of the situation saw this and, fearing Li Zhirui would vent his anger on them, did not dare to linger and immediately fled. Li Zhirui stood alone where he was, and once he had calmed the rage in his heart, he called out Xiaoqing again to transport him to one of the two marketplaces developed by the Great Void Tao—the Taixu Market. Originally, he had planned to let Xiaoqing assist in the fight, but with the sudden appearance of the black-robed cultivator who was quite strong, he didn't want Xiaoqing to get hurt; that's why he had recalled him back into space earlier. In the Great Void Province, the safety of other marketplaces might not be guaranteed, but within the Taixu Market, whether you are a mortal or a Golden Core cultivator, you're not allowed to fight, or you'll be seen as challenging the Great Void Tao. Should that happen, the Great Void Tao will not only issue a kill order, but also personally dispatch people to carry out the hunt, unless you are a Nascent Soul True Lord or confident you can escape their pursuit. Several hours later, Li Zhirui landed outside the marketplace. Unlike other marketplaces, the Taixu Market had no guards, and one could simply spend a hundred spirit stones to buy an access token. The following day, Li Zhirui went downstairs to check out and was about to leave when he suddenly overheard people in the lobby talking about him. He couldn't help but pause, took a seat on the side, and casually ordered a few spirit foods. "Have you heard? Yesterday, Black Asura was defeated by an outsider cultivator, and to escape, he even abandoned his spirit sword," said someone. "What?!" "Really? Is that true?" It had to be said, the name Black Asura indeed carried a lot of weight in the Taixu Market. With just this mention, all the cultivators' attention was drawn, making Li Zhirui's behavior not seem so peculiar. "It's true. This news first came out of Chishui San Sha's mouth, and indeed, yesterday someone saw the injured Black Asura at the door," another person said, making the information seem more credible. Li Zhirui quietly took note of this name. "Chishui San Sha's strength isn't weak, right? Why didn't they seize the opportunity to move in? After all, Black Asura had lost his spirit sword." "Heh, why do you think they spread the news? Isn't it because they couldn't defeat Black Asura and wanted to create more enemies for him?" Everyone fell silent for a moment. Even at their peak, Chishui San Sha was no match for an injured Black Asura, so how strong must the mysterious cultivator be who had injured him! "Who is this person? He's that powerful?!" "I don't know. All I know is that he is from another region and seems to be planning to train in the Great Void Province." "Could it be a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator looking for a Core Formation opportunity?" "No, it's said that the person is also in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, maybe hiding his true cultivation level, but at most, he's in the mid-stage." Li Zhirui just sat there quietly listening to them talk about himself. When he heard them give him the nickname Ice Dragon, his expression became a bit odd, and he shook his head in amusement, then stood up and left the inn.
