Chapter 153: Helpless

The scene was a mess. The remaining demon cultivators hurriedly hid in the back. The human cultivators rushed forward and guarded Hu Jiujiu.

Protect the City Lord!

Guard the City Lord!

The human cultivators spontaneously cooperated and guarded Hu Jiujiu.

The guard captain turned around and stared blankly at Hu Jiujiu. He only knew that this City Lord's strength was unfathomable, but he did not expect that she could kill such an expert in an instant. How powerful did one have to be to do this?

In the chaos, the bodies on the ground were suddenly grabbed by the vines that spread out from the ground. These vines sneakily pulled their bodies into the darkness when no one was paying attention.

Only a few people noticed these bodies that had disappeared on the ground.

When the scene fell silent and the guards wanted to look for the bodies of the assassins again, they realized that the ground was empty except for a pool of blood.

Where are they? Where did they go? The guard captain scolded angrily.

Hu Jiujiu waved her hand casually and said to them, Ignore these people. Take our brothers away for treatment first. We must save them at all costs.

The remaining guards were very grateful when they heard Hu Jiujiu's words.

Yessir!

Although there was such a small episode, Hu Jiujiu's entire journey was not affected. She successfully arrived at the new address chosen to be the human market and held the ribbon-cutting ceremony. This place officially became the address of the human market.

Li Yuanqing did not know if it was because the human market here had become prosperous or something else, but he realized that the human race in Ping City was gradually increasing.

Those demons were still thinking of ways to assassinate Hu Jiujiu. They thought that as long as Hu Jiujiu died, everything would be resolved. However, no matter how strong the experts they sent out were, these experts could always disappear silently. This made the Demon Race's alliance afraid.

It must be the Sword Immortal.

Other than the Sword Immortal, no one else has such powerful strength to kill so many of our experts silently.

That's right, it must be the Sword Immortal!

After a few rounds of probing and finding nothing, they could only suppress their anger.

The human cultivators loved Hu Jiujiu very much. They had specially prepared various guards for her. And it was all done voluntarily.

These guards guarded the outside of the City Lord Manor without any breaks, silently protecting the safety of the City Lord Manor. It also expressed the gratitude of the human race to the City Lord after their status in Ping City had increased.

The market was quickly established. Li Yuanqing discovered something strange. After the human market was established, many strange things appeared.

Most importantly, many things were fresh and could only be found outside. This meant that many humans in Ping City had entered from outside. It was not difficult to deduce what they were talking about in the voice transmission last time. Many people from the Catacombs had rushed to Ping City.

Li Yuanqing had too many treasures in his hands. If he were to sell them openly like before, he would easily be targeted again. He did not mind, but he had always liked to keep a low profile. This was indeed too high-profile. Hence, he found two agents to help him sell things.

He handed a portion of the items to Hu Jiujiu and asked her to hand them over to the guard captain, Minglun.

The rest was handed over to Zhao Tai'an.

After working with Zhao Tai'an so many times, he realized that this person was quite an honest big brother and could be entrusted with important tasks.

Zhao Tai'an almost fainted from shock when he saw Li Yuanqing take out so many treasures. However, after the status of the human race rose, their status also rose. Now that Zhao Tai'an was already the guard captain of the humans, he had some say in the human race.

Young Master, these are the spirit stones we received today. Zhao Tai'an respectfully handed over the spirit stones.

Li Yuanqing nodded casually and took out a few pieces from the bag and handed them to him. This is your fee for your hard work,

Thank you, Young Master.

After working together so many times, Zhao Tai'an was no longer as polite as before. Li Yuanqing had tens of thousands of spirit stones everytime he sold something. Taking out a few pieces as a reward could be said to be a drop in the ocean.

While Zhao Tai'an was happily rubbing the spirit stones, Li Yuanqing suddenly asked, Have there been many outsiders in the city recently?

Zhao Tai'an was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Yuanqing strangely and said, Young Master, how did you know? Recently, there have been many humans in the city that I haven't seen before.

I see. Li Yuanqing nodded slightly. It seemed that his guess was right.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing did not ask, Zhao Tai'an took the initiative to chat. Although these people are outsiders, they are quite obedient. Everyone is quite tolerant of them because they are doing business here and have brought a lot of novel materials.

Quite good.

Speaking of which, these things in Young Master's hands are somewhat similar to the ones they brought, Zhao Tai'an continued. However, if we're talking about the novelty of treasures, we have to count that one shop in the center of the market.

At the mention of this place, Zhao Tai'an's eyes were filled with admiration.

That place was booked by Ye Qiluo's subordinates.

Ever since this market was established, Ye Qiluo had booked the largest area in the center. Now, she has become the only big vendor in the market. She did have a lot of novel things there.

After this market was established, the old markets in Ping City no longer had their former glory. The things here were too old-fashioned. In terms of abundance, it was completely incomparable to the new market.

Captain Zhao.

What is it?

Li Yuanqing suddenly took out a few weapons. These weapons were all strangely shaped and had some symbols engraved on them.

The moment Zhao Tai'an saw these weapons, his face darkened.

Li Yuanqing looked at him as if he was unaware and asked, Captain Zhao, can you help me deal with these things?

During this period of time, they had killed too many demons. These demons had a relatively high status among the demons and had many treasures on them. There were too many treasures.

Li Yuanqing was prepared to keep some for himself or for other uses. However, the remaining ones were really useless, so he wanted to deal with them.

The corners of Zhao Tai'an's eyes twitched. He looked at Li Yuanqing and asked uncertainly, I wonder where Young Master got these things from?

Well, I just picked it up casually. It doesn't feel useful.

When Zhao Tai'an heard Li Yuanqing's explanation, the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously.

These were the treasures of the famous demons in Ping City. These greater demons had suddenly disappeared recently. Many people were guessing where they had gone. However, the outcome was obvious now that he had seen the treasures on them.

Young Master, you might have picked up something. However, do you know that these treasures belong to the mighty figures of the Demon Race? If you sell them, I'm afraid

Who would dare to sell these things? Wouldn't that attract hatred?

Li Yuanqing looked at Zhao Tai'an strangely and said, But they're already gone. They won't come to seek revenge.

Gone? Zhao Tai'an's heart raced. But even if they're no longer around, they still have friends and family. If these people pursue the matter, we'll be in trouble. Young Master, you should put these things away.

Fine. Li Yuanqing nodded and put these things away again. By the way, what did you say the name of the largest shop in the center was?

They claim to be the Treasure Pavilion, but they do have such confidence.

It's indeed a more domineering name. Alright, there's nothing else today. You can go back first. I'll contact you next time.

Li Yuanqing opened the door to send him off.

Zhao Tai'an heaved a sigh of relief after leaving. Was Li Yuanqing crazy? Why did he take out so many sensitive things at once? If he dared to sell them on the market, he would probably be torn to pieces by the demons the moment he left the market.

Li Yuanqing was generous and usually asked him to sell some things, he would also sometimes give him some commission. However, these things were things that could cost his life.

After Zhao Tai'an left, Li Yuanqing also disappeared from the small courtyard.

The human market was now extremely prosperous.

Not only did it accommodate many humans, but many demons were also attracted. The scale of this place was constantly expanding, making them unable to resist. Although they felt a little resistant, they were still attracted by these treasures.

Therefore, the market that was originally meant for humans now accommodated many demons.

Everyone who shopped here was treated equally and did not have many requirements. This also made the place more famous.

Li Yuanqing had been here a few times, but ever since he handed over his business, he did not come much. After a round in the market, he felt like he had been away for a lifetime. He remembered that the last time he came here, there was no one here. However, this time, it was already crowded.

Li Yuanqing followed the crowd and arrived at the shop that people frequented the most. It was called the Treasure Pavilion. He walked into the Treasure Pavilion. When he reached the door, he took out a token. The guard's expression changed when he saw the token.

So you're a VIP. This way, please.

Li Yuanqing glanced into the shop. The hall on the first floor was very wide. This floor was the largest in the entire market.

Everyone was doing business in full swing. Although the scene was noisy and chaotic, it was orderly.

Li Yuanqing walked along the path and turned a corner before arriving at a hidden staircase. He walked up the stairs and went straight to the third floor where a refined young girl was waiting.

Dear VIP client, I'm your exclusive assistant. Please follow me.

The girl slowly stood up from the ground and led the way with small steps.

Li Yuanqing followed behind and looked around as he walked. After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a room.

Mr. VIP, this room will be your exclusive reception room from now on. You can come here directly the next time you're here.

As Li Yuanqing listened to the girl, he looked up and saw the words Sky Room No. 2.

Okay.

The girl stepped forward and carefully opened the door. He stepped in.

The reception room was very quiet. The walls were soundproofed. The decorations inside were also very particular. They were all sofas and chairs made of the fur of rare demon beasts. Even the tablecloth was an entire piece of beast skin. Just sitting on the sofa felt extremely comfortable and warm.

May I know what request you have for coming here recently?

The girl brewed the tea carefully.

I came here today to bring a few things over for you to take a look. Let's see if you accept them.

So you're here to sell treasures. I'll go and invite the top appraisers of our Treasure Pavilion over.

Sorry for the trouble.

As the girl spoke, she carefully retreated. Before she left, she even closed the door very gently.

Li Yuanqing was the only one left in the room. Looking at the decorations at the side, it could be seen that their building had put in a lot of effort. This Ye Qiluo was really capable. As Li Yuanqing watched, he wondered if he should also open a shop like this.

After a while, while Li Yuanqing was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Mr. VIP, may I come in now?

Please come in, sir.

An old man with white hair and a youthful face pushed open the door and walked in with a kind smile on his face.

Mr. Li. The old man bowed very politely.

Don't stand on ceremony, old sir.

I heard that you're here today to sell treasures. I wonder what kind of treasure you're selling?

Li Yuanqing did not say anything else. He took out two treasures and threw them on the table.

The old man's eyes were sharp. The moment he saw the two treasures on the table, his eyes flashed. He only took a rough look and had a rough idea.

Young Master, you did not obtain this treasure that easily, right? The old man walked to the table and casually picked up a treasure to size it up.

It was a long rod. The rod was engraved with dense runes. Most importantly, there was a golden snake symbol at the end of the rod.It was the most eye-catching thing on the rod.

Li Yuanqing shrugged and replied, I just picked them up randomly. How much do you think these things can be sold for?

The old man put the rod down and picked up another shield.

I can't say for sure. If these treasures are free, the price will be higher. The main thing is that these treasures are still troublesome, so the price will naturally be much lower.
