“He’s already gone.”

“He was here just now but he was gone.”

“I think I sensed a strange energy fluctuation. I think he must have sneaked away.”

The guards asked left and right, but they could not find the whereabouts of that Urdar. Finally, he looked at Li Yuanqing. “This person had an argument with you just now. Do you know where he came from?”

Li Yuanqing replied with a smile, “I don’t know where he is from either, but I think he should already know his mistake. There’s no need to pursue his mistake.”

“Did he really know his mistake?” The guard looked at Li Yuanqing unhappily. Why did he feel that Li Yuanqing wanted to protect that person?

“I think so. Otherwise he wouldn’t have left in such a hurry.”

“He better know his mistake!” The guard stared coldly at the demons and humans beside him and warned, “If anyone dares to speak rudely to the City Lord again, we’ll punish them severely!”

After warning them, they left in a hurry with their men.

Everyone present was as silent as cicadas in winter. None of them dared to say anything.

Now that Hu Jiujiu was in power, she treated her subordinates well. These guards were all loyal.

Many demons who had taken advantage of the chaos earlier had fled early, afraid that they would be implicated.

“There were so many people bragging just now. But all of them run so fast when someone is going to take responsibility.”

“It’s just the temper of the demons. They bully the weak and fear the strong.”

“That’s good too. Without those bastards, I can do business in this market. It’s much quieter than before.”

The things in Li Yuanqing’s hands were rare here.

Nothing new had entered the market for so many years, so it lacked a lot of vitality. The things that Li Yuanqing brought this time were an eye-opener for everyone here.

Li Yuanqing also sold these stored beast skins and bones for a lot of money. In addition, the few pills that he casually took out made everyone present exclaim.

In less than two hours after the items were displayed, most of the items had been sold. Li Yuanqing had also casually earned a few thousand spirit stones.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing’s small stall was so lively that it dominated the crowd.

In fact, the humans and demons here had completely forgotten about the past and were only focused on discussing how precious the items on these shelves were.

“The speed of this adult Gale Eagle is incomparably shocking. A magic artifact refined from its wing bones can increase the wind attribute by quite a bit.”

“And this black-and-white bear’s skull. If it was refined into a helmet, it would be incomparably sturdy.”

“And the inner core of a demon beast. Oh my god.”

Li Yuanqing’s arrival made the originally calm market much livelier for the time being. In the past, the nearby markets were definitely not as lively as the underground black market.

However, today, Li Yuanqing successfully attracted many people to gather here.

“Boss, do you still have that black-and-white bear’s skull? I wanted to buy it just now. I was going to gather spirit stones. Why did you sell it?”

“Boss, I want one too.”

“Do you still have the bearskin? I want to make myself a cloak.”

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. There will be many opportunities in the future. If new goods arrive, I will take them out and trade with everyone immediately.” Li Yuanqing quickly sold everything he had displayed. He did not plan to continue selling for the time being.

He was afraid that they would not be able to accept it if he took out too many things at once.

“Then boss, you must keep it for me. Remember me. I’ll pay you the deposit first.”

“Go up the side. I was here first. Don’t even think about cutting the line.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve been waiting here for a long time. When did you come?”

The few people in front of Li Yuanqing’s stall were arguing. It looked like they were about to fight.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Yuanqing hurriedly packed up his things and announced to the outside, “Alright, everyone, stop arguing. That’s it for today. When the goods arrive another day, I’ll bring them over to trade with everyone as soon as possible, alright?”

“Boss, you have to be quick. I urgently need it.”

“Boss, I’ll stay here. Come back early.”

“Thank you for your support. That’s all for today.” Li Yuanqing said as he hurried through the crowd and left the market.

At the entrance of the market, two demons were chatting. They watched Li Yuanqing leave and quietly followed him.

In a small alley not far from the market, the two demons who had followed him out appeared.

“Big Brother, why is that kid running so fast? He disappeared without a trace.”

“Didn’t he run here just now? Why is it a dead end?”

The two demons were very discouraged. Looking at the wall in front of them, they felt like they had lost a hundred million.

“A human actually has so many treasures in his hands. He earned a few thousand spirit stones in one go. That’s almost ten thousand spirit stones. I think there are many good things on him, if only we could snatch them.”

The two demons had ferocious horns on their heads. Their noses were very broad, and their voices were buzzing. They looked like a rhinoceros.

“What a pity. We lost such a good treasure.” The more the Rhinoceros brothers thought about it, the angrier they became. They were looking at him just now. Why was he gone just like that?

“Forget it, Big Brother. Anyway, that guy will definitely go back again. Next time, we’ll just squat outside and find an opportunity to make a move. I was too hesitant this time.”

The big brother stomped his feet helplessly. They clearly had a chance when they were outside just now, but someone happened to pass by, so the two of them hesitated for a moment.

In just the blink of an eye, this brat had disappeared. It was obvious that this indecision was not a good habit.

“Stop talking. The next time this kid comes out, we have to hurry up. I think many people have their eyes on him. This guy is a fat sheep. He can’t fall into the hands of others.”

As the two brothers spoke, they were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly heard a cold voice behind them. “Who’s the fat sheep?”

The two brothers looked up and met Li Yuanqing’s eyes.

“You human, you’re here!”

“Good fellow, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t run and still dared to be here! Since you want to die so much, we brothers will fulfill your wish!”

The two brothers looked at each other. One of them was at the seventh stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, while the other was at the sixth stage. They were a powerful force even in the entire Ping City.

The two of them leaned towards Li Yuanqing confidently. The big brother turned his head and glanced at his younger brother, who immediately understood.

That person suddenly appeared behind Li Yuanqing in a flash. The two brothers sandwiched Li Yuanqing one after another. It seemed like they did not intend to let Li Yuanqing escape.

“Good kid, you’re unlucky to have fallen into our hands today. But don’t worry, we will help you make good use of these treasures in your hands. We will definitely not waste them.”

Li Yuanqing sized up Big Brother Rhino as if he was looking at a commodity.

“A seventh-stage Spirit Transformation Realm demon core should be able to be sold for a good price,” Li Yuanqing muttered to himself.

When his words reached the ears of the rhinoceros brothers, it was as if they had been slapped in the face.

“Bastard, what did you say?” The Big Brother Rhino widened its eyes and glared at Li Yuanqing. “I want you to suffer a fate worse than death!”

“Big Brother, do it!”

With that, the two brothers rushed forward, raised their muscular arms, and pounced towards Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was like a fool. He stood rooted to the ground without any intention of defending himself. When the Rhinoceros brothers saw that the human in front of them was like a piece of fish in their mouths, they could not help but feel happy.

However, their smiles froze instantly, and all their actions were completely frozen at this moment.

Just as they were half a meter away from Li Yuanqing, the space seemed to have frozen. The two brothers felt an extremely powerful force imprisoning them. Every inch of their skin and even their cells could not move. They were controlled in midair, but Li Yuanqing was clearly smiling.

“You overestimate yourself.”

Li Yuanqing’s voice was as loud and ethereal as the bell of an immortal mountain. Because the two of them had already appeared in a world of ice and snow. In front of them was a towering mountain range.

Li Yuanqing raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. As Li Yuanqing’s arm slowly closed, the auras of the two brothers lying on the ground disappeared.

After the two rhinoceros brothers died, they transformed into their true forms. Two huge rhinos that were more than ten meters long lay quietly on the ground.

The Man-eating Vine appeared happily and stood at the side with a round stomach.

“Master!” The man-eating vine licked her lips and looked greedily at the two rhinos on the ground.

“Do you still have the feather of that crow?”

“Yes…” The man-eating vine stammered.

Li Yuanqing looked at her and instructed, “This rhinoceros’s horns, fur, and inner core can be sold for a good price.”

“Of course, Master.”

“You can handle the rest. I’ll leave it to you.”

As he spoke, he left the room. As soon as he came out, he suddenly received a message from Hu Jiujiu. She had already found the whereabouts of the flying ants.

Hu Jiujiu appeared in Li Yuanqing’s small courtyard.

“Master.” Hu Jiujiu knelt in front of Li Yuanqing.

“What clues have you found?”

“I had my men investigate the whereabouts of the flying ants and found something else.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, those missing flying ants have already been devoured by the demons,” Hu Jiujiu said. “Moreover, these demons are still planning something.”

Speaking of which, the demons of Ping City had been tyrannical in Ping City for so many years. They could not tolerate their current miserable situation.

The demons who had completely transformed were even more united. They wanted to establish an alliance and were implementing a huge plan. It was unknown where the transformed demons had obtained a huge demon gathering array.

As long as this array could be successfully built, the strength of all the demons in Ping City would be greatly enhanced. Moreover, the humans would be restrained like before. This way, their status would return.

Their plan had already reached a very critical stage.

According to Hu Jiujiu, these demons had already dug a huge pit in the ground and almost emptied the entire Ping City. The flying ants had accidentally barged into the underground cave they had dug and were discovered by them. They took the opportunity to attack.

Li Yuanqing looked down at his feet. He did not expect these demons to have such a background. They had been too submissive recently. As expected, they were planning something behind the scenes.

“Master, what do you plan to do?” Hu Jiujiu looked at Li Yuanqing carefully.

Li Yuanqing’s aura was getting stronger and stronger, and she could not see through him.

“If it’s a demon gathering array, it should be able to be used by me after a simple modification.”

“Master, when do you think we should act?”

“Send some men to see how far they’ve gone. Tell me when they’re finished.”

“But if they complete it, their strength will increase greatly. Will it be difficult to deal with?” Hu Jiujiu expressed her concern.

Although Li Yuanqing was very confident, this was a little risky.

However, Li Yuanqing did not seem to care at all. Instead, he comforted her, “It’s fine. Send someone to watch over them. There’s no need to alarm them now. I’ll make arrangements when the time comes.”

“Yes Sir.”

Hu Jiujiu was a little worried about the effect of that demonic array, but Li Yuanqing had always been reliable and would not do anything stupid this time.

“By the way, some people from the Catacombs might arrive at Black Dragon Ping City soon. It might affect the support of Ping City. You have to be careful.”

“Alright, Master. I’ll definitely take good care of it.”

After giving his instructions, Li Yuanqing took out two boxes and threw them on the table.

Recently, Li Yuanqing had walked around Ping City and used the system to sign in. There were so many pills that he could not use them all. He took out two boxes and gave them to Hu Jiujiu.

Hu Jiujiu looked at Li Yuanqing excitedly and whispered, “Master, I haven’t used up all the pills you gave me last time.”

Li Yuanqing said casually, “It’s fine. Since you’re already the City Lord, there will probably be a lot of chaos in the future. It’s beneficial to increase your strength now.”

“I will definitely work hard to cultivate and break through as soon as possible.”

“The demons here are all against you. They don’t dare to say anything now, but if you get out, I’m afraid you’ll be in danger.”

Li Yuanqing was not worried about the demons in Ping City. However, there was still a huge demon system outside Ping City. If those people interfered, Hu Jiujiu would still be in danger. That was why he was so generous this time that he gave two more boxes at once.

Hu Jiujiu was grateful and thought about Li Yuanqing’s kindness. After thanking him again, she left quietly.
