Heiknamo Square is the largest square in the center of Heiknamo City, where all four teleportation arrays are said to be established.
Qin Chen originally thought there wouldn't be too many people here, as many came to use the teleportation passages, leading to a steady flow of people leaving, so the square wouldn't gather too many.
However, as soon as Qin Chen arrived at Heiknamo Square, he realized he was completely mistaken. Besides being a teleportation point, it had also become a bustling commercial area.
Aside from the vast open space in the center of the square, there were shops all around it, with various stalls selling all kinds of treasures and items.
Not only were there spiritual medicines obtained from the Black Death Swamp, but also all sorts of elixirs, spirit pets, and even treasured weapons, everything one could think of.
Such a lively scene was entirely beyond Qin Chen's expectations.
Where did that black slave go? Qin Chen began to feel puzzled. There should be detoxification pills for sale here; if the black slave wanted to buy them, he could have just come with him.
Perhaps he had his own connections.
With this thought crossing his mind, Qin Chen stopped dwelling on it and slowly walked into the square.
As soon as he entered the square and hadn't had time to observe his surroundings closely, a figure abruptly blocked his path.
It was a middle-aged man with an elongated face, not very handsome, clearly middle-aged, yet his thinning hair was meticulously arranged on his head to appear less sparse, indicating he had put effort into it.
This man stopped Qin Chen and, without waiting for him to speak, cheerfully raised his hand and said: "Young Master, are you here to use the teleportation passage to enter the Black Death Swamp?"
Qin Chen was taken aback for a moment but nodded and replied: "That's right, I want to use the teleportation passage to enter the Black Death Swamp. May I ask which passage you are from?"
At a glance, he could tell that this long-faced middle-aged man was likely someone involved in the business of one of the teleportation passages.
Upon hearing Qin Chen's words, the long-faced middle-aged man's smile became even more enthusiastic. He immediately said: "That's wonderful! Young Master can use the teleportation passage from our Gu Feng Merchants' Association. Our passage has fair prices, no deception, and the injury rate for martial artists entering through our passage is very low, so you don't need to worry about safety. Most importantly, the price is the cheapest."
Saying this, the long-faced middle-aged man didn't even wait for Qin Chen to respond before trying to lead him further inside.
Qin Chen knew nothing about the four forces that controlled the teleportation passages, but he understood that this long-faced middle-aged man must be from one of those passages. So, that meant the Gu Feng Merchants' Association was one of the forces controlling one of the teleportation passages.
Just as he was about to follow, a warning voice suddenly came from the side: "Little brother, don't be deceived by this guy; he’s not really from the Gu Feng Merchants' Association, just a scammer. Be careful not to get conned."
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Chen immediately halted his steps and saw a man in his thirties and a woman around thirty walking over. The man was tall and thin, with a cultivation level in the mid-stage of the fifth tier, while the woman was decent-looking—not overly beautiful, but the kind that was easy on the eyes, with a cultivation level in the early fifth tier.
As soon as they appeared, these two looked coldly at the long-faced middle-aged man, their expressions quite unpleasant.
"Oh, isn't this the Yin siblings? What’s up? Are your injuries healed so soon? If you're healed, get lost and stop messing with my reputation. Do you believe I won’t be polite to you two?"
The long-faced middle-aged man's expression immediately darkened, and he looked at the siblings with a mocking glare, a hint of fierce light flashing in his eyes.
