Chapter 150: Secret Plan
“Great God, I just killed an Armored Lizard. When can we trade?”
“How dare you attack an Armored Lizard?”
Everyone was chatting over the voice transmission.
During this period of time, many people dared to come out. With Li Yuanqing buying things here and providing them with a large amount of food and water, they would have fewer worries.
As soon as Li Yuanqing turned on the voice transmission, he heard a lot of questions.
“You can sell all the demon beast materials you hunt to me as long as they are of high quality.”
“Alright, I’ll sell all of these.”
“And me!”
Li Yuanqing’s purchases were all sold in batches in the market. However, the amount he took out was still too little. He felt that this speed was too slow. He had so many treasures on hand. If he took them all out at once, he would definitely attract some people with ill intentions.
Although Li Yuanqing was not worried, in order to avoid causing chaos in Ping City, he had to keep a low profile.
“Oh my God, why are there so many treasures here?”
“Boss, what exactly are you doing? Why are you hiding so many demon beast materials?”
“And they’re all fresh.”
“And these rare treasures. These things are very rare.”
Li Yuanqing did not answer. Other than business-related matters, he would not answer too much. “If you like it, buy it.”
“Alright, I want this Armored Lizard’s skull.” A burly human stood up and took the skull of the Armored Lizard. “I wonder if Boss still has any more Divine Origin Pills today?”
As soon as this topic was mentioned, it instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The scene fell silent for a moment as everyone waited for Li Yuanqing’s answer.
The Divine Origin Pill was a hard currency. As long as he bought it and held it in his hand, he would not lose out sooner or later. If he had enough money on hand, he would use it himself. If he didn’t, he could even increase the price and sell it. Moreover, Li Yuanqing seemed to have a lot of good stuff on him.
“Boss, take out more. You only sold two today. Everyone bought a lot of things from you.”
“Boss, I’ve been waiting here for two days. You have to let me snatch one, right? I’m willing to add another hundred spirit stones.”
As he spoke, the customers present started arguing.
The Divine Origin Pill was very suitable for both humans and demons. Unlike those beast bones where they might not be that useful to the demons.
Li Yuanqing was still as calm as ever. No matter how they requested, he did not say a word.
“No more.”
Many of the customers present could not help but feel disappointed.
Many people had specially come here for the Divine Origin Pill. If they could buy two Divine Origin Pills and break through to the next level, it would be very worth it for them.
The two demons stood in the crowd and looked around before slowly retreating.
“First Elder, I clearly feel Master’s aura.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne of the two demons was old and the other was young. The old one had white hair, but his eyes were very bright and he looked very energetic. The young one had a very straight nose, just like the horns of a rhinoceros.
This was the First Elder of the Rhinoceros Race.
Yesterday, the patriarch and his brother had mysteriously disappeared, causing a huge shock to their clan.
The main point was that the soul lamp that the two of them had left in the clan had already been extinguished, which meant that they had already encountered an accident.
However, with their strength, it was too unbelievable that they could be eliminated so quietly in Ping City.
The First Elder sent many people out to investigate. His subordinates brought a group of people to this market. This was a place that the patraich liked to come to when he was alive.
Moreover, according to the report, the last place the patriarch appeared yesterday was in this market. Since then, he has not been seen again.
The two of them had already searched the entire market recently, but they could not find any clues until they saw this stall.
This mysterious vendor did not have a name either. When others asked him for his name, he usually did not answer. However, they heard that he had suddenly become popular in the past two days and that it had a large number of treasures.
The First Elder narrowed his eyes and sensed carefully. He had clearly sensed a trace of aura just now. It was the unique aura of their Rhinoceros Race. However, that aura was fleeting. When he tried to search for it again, he could no longer capture it.
“I can’t find it again.”
The young man looked angrily in Li Yuanqing’s direction as if he wanted to kill Li Yuanqing with his gaze.
“First Elder, there’s no mistake. This person must be related to the Patriarch. I think we should immediately gather the clansmen and send someone to capture this kid. When the time comes, the truth will be revealed.”
The First Elder lowered his head and pondered. The Patriarch and his brother, one was in the seventh-grade and the other was in the sixth-grade. Such a high cultivation level had disappeared without anyone knowing.
The highest level in their clan was only at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The First Elder admitted that he had no way to deal with these two experts so easily. If it was really this stall owner who killed their patriarch, how strong would he be?
“First Elder, what are you still thinking about? In my opinion, we should call people over immediately. We will definitely be able to capture him with the strength of our entire clan!”
“Follow me.”
As the First Elder spoke, he quietly left the market with the child.
Li Yuanqing glanced indifferently in the direction where the two of them had left.
These two were not a threat.
After Li Yuanqing killed those two fellows yesterday, he had obtained a lot of benefits. He wanted to see if anyone dared to provoke him and send some goods over for no reason.
In the underground world of Ping City.
The passageway extended vertically dozens of meters below the ground.
The First Elder of the Rhinoceros Race slowly walked along the aisle below with a small copper.
This aisle was very narrow at first, just a path as wide as a person. After dozens of steps, the entire aisle opened up. It became brighter in front of them, and a very wide underground world was revealed.
It was like a huge square. The dome above was inlaid with countless night pearls.
Under the illumination of the night pearls, one could see a huge square that covered the entire Ping City. There was an extremely complicated array diagram printed on it. If anyone stepped on this huge array, their feet would be covered in dense patterns. Such an extremely exquisite array actually covered the entire Ping City.
The young rhinoceros looked at the scene in front of it in shock.
The two of them walked forward in silence.
Above the array, there were many protruding walls and pavilions, isolating the view.
The First Elder of the Rhinoceros Race walked forward. After turning a few more corners, he suddenly entered an attic.
There was a spacious conference room on the second floor of the attic. Several people were sitting around the table in the conference room.
Many demon clans’ clan masters led by Zhang Muyun were gathered here. This could be said to be the greatest power of the entire demon race in Ping City.
“Alliance Leader, now that the array formation has been roughly completed, the next step will require a large number of spirit stones as the foundation. Alliance Leader, your family has also collected a lot of spirit stones over the years. You should have more when the time comes, right?”
Zhang Muyun said indifferently, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll definitely pay more than you.”
“The Alliance Leader is indeed extraordinary. With the Alliance Leader, our small families will be much more at ease.”
Zhang Muyun looked up at the First Elder of the Rhinoceros Race who walked in. “What is it?”
The First Elder replied cautiously, “The patriarch of our Rhinoceros Race had an accident. We found a person during our investigation.”
“Who is it?”
“This person seems to be related to the City Lord. Moreover, I heard that Urdar of the Crow Clan had an argument with him yesterday. Then, the Urdar disappeared.”
Hearing the First Elder’s words, the clan masters who were originally uninterested turned their gazes over.
In particular, the clan master of the Crow Clan slapped the table and stood up. “Are you saying you were able to find proof that the boy killed Urdar?”
“I can’t.”
“Then what’s the point of telling me all this? Isn’t it just your guess?”
“I don’t have any evidence, but this kid’s appearance is too strange, and he has a large number of treasures in his hands. It’s hard to say where he got all these things from.”
“Are there many treasures?” Zhang Muyun looked at him and asked.
“This person has a lot of things in his hands. Moreover, he seems to have a lot of Divine Origin Pills. I wonder what kind of background he has.”
“Divine Origin Pill? The Divine Origin Pill that has been circulating in the city these two days was made by him?”
“That’s him. There’s no one else besides him.”
Zhang Muyun looked at Wu Qinglin and pondered. Beside him, Xiang Kelin suddenly let out a strange laugh. He stood up and walked to the First Elder of the Rhinoceros Race.
“The Rhinoceros Clan has suffered such a heavy blow, and since we are the Demon Alliance, we should naturally help.” Xiang Kelin looked at the people below and said slowly, “In addition, this person has many treasures. In my opinion, it’s a good deal.”
“If you say so, then count me in.” Wu Qinglin stood up angrily. “Although Urdar is disappointing, he is still my younger brother. After arguing with him, his soul dissipated and he couldn’t be found at all. This is very strange.”
“Does that mean everyone is in agreement?”
“What’s there to say? Send someone to investigate this kid’s residence. We’ll wipe him out tonight and see what else he’s hiding.”
At night.
A black shadow flashed across the sky above the City Lord Manor.
“Who!”
Hu Jiujiu turned over and jumped up from the bed. She passed through the window and arrived at the aisle outside almost instantly.
The bright moonlight shone on the solid wooden aisle, emitting a faint dark light. At the end, an enchanting figure appeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You didn’t appear here in the middle of the night to sightsee, right?”
Hu Jiujiu stared coldly at the figure in front of her. This aura was vaguely familiar.
Ye Qiluo turned around and looked at Hu Jiujiu behind her.
“City Lord Hu, are you chasing me away?”
“So it’s you.” Hu Jiujiu relaxed her guard. “Master said that since you’re in the city, as long as you don’t cause trouble, I have no reason to chase you away.”
Ye Qiluo said meaningfully, “Do you know? You’re very different from the City Lord here in the past.”
“Of course. How can I be like them?”
“I’m saying that the relationship between the two races is very different.” Ye Qiluo stopped joking and her expression turned solemn. “Ping City isn’t the only place under the control of the Black Dragon.”
“What did you say?”
“Other than Ping City, there are also Sea City and Rong City.” In the cold night, Ye Qiluo’s equally cold voice echoed.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Hu Jiujiu looked at Ye Qiluo in confusion.
“The Black Dragon restriction in Ping City has already been destroyed. Isn’t it enough for me to control this place?”
Ye Qiluo nodded and looked up at Hu Jiujiu. “Of course you can. You just have to govern your Ping City well here, but others might not be willing to see you stay here.”
Hu Jiujiu carefully watched Ye Qiluo. It seemed like she was not lying.
“What are you getting at?”
“The demons in Sea City and Rong City have already received orders to unite. They have sent many experts to eliminate you.”
Hu Jiujiu pouted and said, “That’s big news.”
“I know that the person behind you is very powerful, but you should still be careful.”
“I’m curious.”
“Curious about what?”
“How could you be so kind as to come and tell me this?”
Hu Jiujiu played with her soft long hair and leaned against the railing, looking at Ye Qiluo seductively.
Ye Qiluo’s eyes were as cold as willow leaves, and her voice was emotionless. “Because it would be better for all of us if you were the City Lord here.”
“Is that so?” Hu Jiujiu jumped up and sat on the railing. “But Master told me that humans don’t give benefits to others for no reason unless they have their own motives.”
“I want you to take out a place for the humans in Ping City to trade,” Ye Qiluo said directly.
“So is that your condition?”
“Consider it my condition. A piece of land in the inner city.”
Hu Jiujiu thought for a moment. “A piece of the inner city to protect my life. In that case, it seems to be very worth it.”
“Whether it’s worth it or not is up to you. I’ve said my piece. I should go.”
As Ye Qiluo spoke, she leaped onto the railing.
“By the way, there’s something else for free. Your wise and mighty master has been targeted. They might attack tonight. I don’t think you need to remind your master since you’re so confident in him.”
