Walker Of The Worlds

Jingming Shang had been going about his day after having finished the tiresome merchant council meeting. He had to admit that while he had joined the merchant council for the benefits and prestige; it was now proving to be quite a hassle.

He had joined the merchant council so that he could get some power and also stay away from the bigger political dramas. But now that very drama had found him and infiltrated the council.

Of course, Jingming Shang wanted to know the entire situation before he actually rejected anything, but he had a hunch that it was not going to be according to his wishes. Thankfully, he had managed to stay in a neutral position in the end.

Right now, he just wanted to go to his residence in the city and relax while having some good wine that he had recently bought from the First Sun Kingdom. It was said to be a special one made from the coconuts that grew on the island nation and were their specialty.

Unlike the other members of the council, Jingming Shang didn't really have any extra security and he simply walked out alone. After all, security would only work if they were stronger than him.

Jingming Shang was at the mid stage of the Core condensation realm and thus didn't really need any protection. At least in the city itself. If there was anyone that was going to attack him, they would need to be many times stronger than him.

Even those at the late or peak stage of the Core condensation realm would be unable to attack him as he was confident in defending against them and even if he could not defeat them, he had the confidence to escape with his trump cards.

Perhaps only a Nascent Soul realm cultivator might be able to attack and harm him. But if it really came to that, then Jingming Shang was already doomed. He had already learned from the previous lessons a few decades ago and avoided stepping on the toes of people that were stronger than him by a large margin or too influential.

This had saved him from most problems, but there were still some people he would inadvertently offend. For people like these, he would show a genial demeanor on the front while plotting to get rid of them later.
