Chapter 322: Odd method of entry
The two-three streets distance was crossed in just a bit.
As soon as they turned the corner, there were suddenly several times more people in the streets.
On both sides of the street were all kinds of shops, but these shops were not of all kinds of variety like a normal street. Most of them were…..pharmacies!
Some shops even wrote “specially cures broken bones” or “specially cures cut wounds” on their signs.
Ye Yu Xi felt this street was very novel and couldn’t help taking a few more looks.
Arriving at the so called “underground market”, Ye Yu Xi looked up at the high above plaque.
This underground market, its name was low key, but it was just an act…..
Nangong Ying Xue saw Ye Yu Xi’s expression and revealed a smile, “People that come here for the first time would be confused. This place is the so called underground market.”
The implication here was that the underground market was not low key like the name implied.
Ye Yu Xi nodded and went in with Nangong Ying Xue.
Passing the tall plaque, Ye Yu Xi walked down a little alley for over two miles!
Although the underground market had a high plaque, the inside was like a tunnel. After the plaque was a simple house and passing through the back door, it was a desolate wasteland.
Walking forward with Nangong Ying Xue, gradually there were more people that appeared on the road.
Ye Yu Xi swept a cold gaze over these people. These people, most of them had shifty eyes and some had fierce looks with decent strength. Seeing the bodies of Ye Yu Xi and Nangong Ying Xue, their eyes filled with lewd looks.
Ye Yu Xi and Nangong Ying Xue ignored these people and kept moving forward. The more they went forward, the more cultivators they saw and they could even smell a faint blood scent in the air.
“Ying Xue, this place, it really is different from other places.” Ye Yu Xi said in a low voice.
Nangong Ying Xue nodded and she no longer looked as casual as before, “The reason why this place is called the underground market isn’t just because this place sells stolen goods. This place also allows people to steal from each other! As long as one leaves the market area and comes to a place like the ones around us, it’s your own fault if you get robbed.”
Oh?
This stirred Ye Yu Xi’s heart. She never thought that this place would actually have this kind of rule!
For a normal market, there would be people employed to provide protection. At least everyone was safe around the market.
But this place…..Thinking of all these people around with greedy looks, Ye Yu Xi shook her head. It seems like there was a reason for all those pharmacies outside.
She kept moving forward with Nangong Ying Xue.
They finally came to the true entrance of the underground market.
The two guards looked over them and asked them what they were required to ask, “Do you have a token?”
Ye Yu Xi looked at Nangong Ying Xue. She definitely wouldn’t have the token the guards mentioned, she could only rely on Nangong Ying Xue having this thing.
Nangong Ying Xue also shook her head. This was her first time coming here, how could she have a token? They had one in their mercenary group headquarters, but they couldn’t go back and get it now.
“Since you don’t have one, please go over there to get your qualifications.”
The two guards opened a door on the right.
Ye Yu Xi and Nangong Ying Xue walked in to find a long corridor.
When the two of them came in, there was someone who came out. He had a frustrated expression and was limping as he walked.
When that person passed Ye Yu Xi, Ye Yu Xi could smell a strong blood scent coming from him. He should have been injured.
