"Who are you?" An afterimage flashed, and a burly young man appeared in front of Cheng Yan.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring straight at her, as if he wanted to see through her instantly.
This person was exerting pressure on her. He was actually a late-stage Jindan cultivator. Cheng Yan was not afraid of this pressure, but pretended to be struggling, his face changed slightly, and he took two steps back.
Xun Yan immediately stood in front of her: "Who are you?"
The young man then looked away and looked at Xun Yan with sharp eyes: "A monster that is neither human nor demon!"
Xun Yan's pupils shrank and he immediately became furious: "What did you say!"
Cheng Yuan quickly grabbed Xun Yan: "Calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive."
She pulled Xun Yan aside and said, "He provoked you on purpose."
Cheng Yan turned around and said, "You must be a monk from Qiyu City."
The man sneered.
Cheng Yan continued: "It is said that there is a rule in Qiyu City: I will not offend others unless they offend me. My sarcastic words are just to provoke us to take action so that we can deal with us. I don't know, where did the two of us offend you?"
"No." The young man shook his head, "I just see that you guys are unhappy!"
Cheng Yan was puzzled: "Just because I looked at you here a few times? Are the monks in Qiyu City so shameless that they will die if they look at you twice more?"
She spoke in a calm tone, but made the other party furious: "How presumptuous!"
A cold light flashed through, and a spiritual energy barrier was erected in front of Cheng Yan.
bump!
There was a sound of impact, and the sharp blade thrown by the man stopped in front of Cheng Yuan. The edge was sure to appear and the light shined brightly.
The young man's whole body was tense, and he couldn't help but exert his spiritual power, but he was shocked to find that the sharp blade could not move forward. On the contrary, the spiritual power on it became weaker and weaker, and he gradually lost control.
puff!
Suddenly, the young man felt a pain in his chest, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he completely lost control of the blade, and even the consciousness on it was lost.
Cheng Yuan raised his hand and took the sharp blade. It was an exquisitely crafted dagger. Cheng Yuan looked at it and clicked his tongue in surprise: "It is forged with black iron crystal. It has exquisite craftsmanship and extraordinary workmanship. The only flaw is that the wind eye stone is superfluous. Too much is not enough. But, it’s okay. If you go back and modify it, it will be better.”
With that said, Cheng Yan unceremoniously pocketed it in front of the original owner.
The young man's face was ashen: "How dare you! Who are you?"
At this time, he did not act rashly. It was obvious that this demon control master was only in the foundation stage, but he could easily submerge into his consciousness. I am afraid he was a master who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger!
Cheng Yan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter who I am. We were just passing by here. We saw that horse demon was quite interesting, so we took a few more glances. I don't know why it made you unhappy."
"Interesting?" The young man calmed down and said, "Recently, demon tribes have been attacking frequently, and we are also acting under orders. You just acted suspiciously..."
Cheng Yuan immediately dismounted from the donkey and said, "So it's all a misunderstanding. When we first met, this silverware was given as a gift in return."
The young man's lips twitched slightly, giving him a greeting gift in return? This man is so shameless.
It's just that the silver-wired spiritual weapon she bought was cold and cold, and it was at least five thousand years old. Although it was not as valuable as the dagger, it was still so-so. The dagger was put into her pocket, and she obviously had no intention of taking it out again.
The young man sighed slightly and accepted the silver thread.
"In the lower Yellow Lake, the monks from Qiyu City are responsible for the safety of Fang City. The horse demon has been hiding in Fang City for decades. It is as timid as a mouse. It is not very strange. If you two have nothing to do, you might as well leave here."
Cheng Yan asked curiously: "So, you know this horse demon well?"
"Not only do I understand him, but I have also dealt with him a lot over the decades. It is my duty to talk about it, but he is a demon."
"Then what will you do with it?"
Huang Hu said: "If it is normal, just send them to the Demon Locking Tower. Nowadays, there are riots everywhere in the Demon Locking Tower. These demons have to wait for the city lord to deal with them. They will probably be killed on the spot."
Cheng Yan shook his head: "It would be a pity to kill him, you might as well sell him to me."
"Sell?" Huang Huyao
Head: "How can this be done!"
"Why not? It is common for a demon master to control demons. To be honest, I came here just to buy some demons that I like, and then go back to find someone who is destined for them. In this way, this demon has a place to go, and this city It can also generate multiple revenues.”
Cheng Yan patted the storage bag and said, "The price is negotiable. If not, I still have some high-quality elixirs." As he spoke, Cheng Yan opened a bottle of Lingtan.
The spiritual energy of the Lingtan water was rich. Huang Hu suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Easy to say, easy to say. Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."
Huang Hu hurriedly turned back and left. Xun Yan said, "Are you sure that the Lord of Qiyu City will do this business with you?"
Cheng Yan said: "Of course the lord of a city will not pay attention to such a trivial matter. As long as Huang Hu is willing, it will be fine."
Judging from his reaction just now, she didn't care what happened to the horse demon, but if she could find some benefit for herself, she thought Huang Hu would definitely be willing.
As expected, not long after, Huanghu sent someone to escort the horse demon out.
"Although this horse demon's cultivation is good enough to build a foundation, it has caused trouble in this city for decades and has committed a heinous crime. If you want to buy it, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Huang Hu said.
Cheng Yan chuckled. With each entry and exit, the horse demon changed from being honest to being full of evil. He was planning to raise the price.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, I don't have to do it. Today's demons are worthless."
Huang Hu frowned secretly. He also knew that there were many demon slayers in Central Continent, but there were only a few who wanted to buy demons. If he missed the one in front of him, I'm afraid this horse demon would only die.
The two discussed for a while and successfully traded ten bottles of pool water.
There is a ruin on the outskirts of Fang City. This was the original location of Fang City. Later, due to the expansion of the city, the center of Fang City was moved out.
The horse demon has had its spiritual veins sealed before. Without spiritual power to support it, it cannot maintain its human form.
After drinking the water Cheng Yun gave him, he transformed into a thin middle-aged man. He looked at Cheng Yun warily, his eyes full of fear.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Cheng Yan motioned for him to sit down: "What's your name?"
Ma Yao glanced at Xun Yan, who looked serious next to Cheng Yuan, and timidly sat down on the wood in front of Cheng Yuan.
"Little Ma Xiaoba, they all call him Little Horse Stall Owner, and he has been here since the beginning of the establishment of this market. He has always adhered to his duties over the years and has never harmed any monks. He has never done anything harmful to God or justice. I have done it." Ma Xiaoba said with some sadness: "I don't have much ability, and I'm really not good at fighting. Even if I make a contract, I'm afraid I will disappoint my master."
Cheng Yan understood that most demons would not like being contracted unless they were really helpless.
"I want you to do something for me. If you do it, you can be free."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoba suddenly raised his head: "Seriously!"
Cheng Yan said: "I think I need to lie to you?"
Ma Xiaoba thought about it for a while, and realized that her life was in her hands. If she had some agenda, why would she be so polite?
"No matter what the fairy orders, I will do my best if I can do it. I just... I just hope that after the thing is done, the fairy can keep her promise and let me regain my freedom. I promise to stay far away."
