"Hehe, you and I can be considered old acquaintances. Brother Guan, why be so aloof? As for my purpose here, it is for these two fellow cultivators. They want to come to Black鼬 City to buy some Ziyang Warm Jade, so I introduced them." Black Wolf pointed at Han Li and Shi Chuankong, and said with a chuckle.

"Ziyang Warm Jade is such a treasure, how could my small shop have it? If the two fellow cultivators want to buy this item, you might as well go to the real big shops in the city. Although Ziyang Warm Jade is precious, those big shops should have some stock." The gaunt shopkeeper said to Han Li and Shi Chuankong with a cold expression.

Han Li smiled noncommittally upon hearing this, and turned his gaze to Black Wolf.

"Brother Guan, let's not beat around the bush. That batch of Ziyang Warm Jade was obtained by all of us together, risking our lives. Fellow cultivators Rixi and Rixie even lost their lives for it. You have been living in seclusion, so I will assume you were avoiding trouble and won't say anything more. But if you want to monopolize it, that's not very fair!" Black Wolf's eyes shot out a green light as he said coldly.

"Black Wolf, what do you mean by that? Is Guan someone like that? I thought you three had already perished. Now that I know you are still alive, I naturally won't eat alone. But you told others about this matter, have you forgotten the oath we swore together that day!" The gaunt shopkeeper's expression changed drastically as he said grimly.

"We swore together that day to work together on a major event. Brother Guan knows better than anyone how Rixi and Rixie died. You betrayed us first, and you still have the face to mention the oath we swore that day," Black Wolf snorted coldly, his face full of mockery.

"Black Wolf, now that things have come to this, there's no need to mention the past. What do you want? Just say it," the gaunt shopkeeper looked at Black Wolf and the other two, and the anger on his face slowly faded.

"Brother Guan, you have so much Ziyang Warm Jade, but you haven't left Black鼬 City. On the one hand, it's because of the pursuit outside, and on the other hand, you probably want to find a suitable buyer here. These two fellow cultivators are not from the Ten Affliction Mountain Range and have a lot of wealth. This time, they came to Black鼬 City to seek a large amount of Ziyang Warm Jade, making them the most suitable buyers. I have already negotiated with them to sell the Ziyang Warm Jade to them at this price, and give me half of the demonic essence stones obtained. Our grievances will be wiped out," Black Wolf took out a jade slip and waved it to the gaunt shopkeeper.

The gaunt shopkeeper took the jade slip and immersed his divine sense into it, quickly withdrawing it.

He showed a pensive expression, and after a moment, he raised his head.

"I have no objection to selling the Ziyang Warm Jade to the two of you at this price, but before that, there is one condition that the two of you must agree to first," the gaunt shopkeeper looked at Han Li and Shi Chuankong, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Please speak, Your Excellency," Han Li said.

"The two fellow cultivators must swear a heart demon blood oath to leave Black鼬 City immediately after the transaction is completed, and not tell a third person about what you saw and heard here today," the gaunt shopkeeper stared at Han Li and Shi Chuankong, saying each word clearly.

"Okay, we just want to buy Ziyang Warm Jade and have no interest in your affairs," Han Li and Shi Chuankong exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The two did not delay and immediately swore the heart demon blood oath according to the gaunt shopkeeper's request.

"Since the two fellow cultivators have such sincerity, I will naturally keep my promise. The items are all here, please take a look," seeing Han Li and Shi Chuankong swear, the gaunt shopkeeper's tense expression immediately eased a lot. He flipped his hand and took out a purple storage bracelet, placing it on the table next to him.

Seeing this, Han Li flipped his hand and took out two storage rings, placing them on the table. Then, he took the storage bracelet and immersed his divine sense into it.

The gaunt shopkeeper and Black Wolf also each took a storage ring and quickly checked them.

Before long, all three withdrew their divine senses, revealing satisfied smiles on their faces.

Neither side cheated, and the transaction was successfully completed.

"Now that the transaction is complete, the three of you may leave," the gaunt shopkeeper flipped his hand and put away the storage rings, issuing an eviction order without any politeness.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong had no intention of staying and immediately got up to leave.

Black Wolf was even more unwilling to stay than Han Li and Shi Chuankong. He was the first to step out of the elegant room door and walked quickly outside, without even saying hello to Han Li and Shi Chuankong.

But at this moment, the void above his head flashed, and a golden sword Qi silently appeared and stabbed down.

This sword Qi appeared without any warning, and its speed was incredibly fast, so fast that meteors piercing the sky and lightning flashes were not enough to describe it.

With a "poof" sound!

Black Wolf didn't even have time to look up before his body was pierced by the golden sword Qi and split in two, with blood and internal organs splattering everywhere. He was as dead as could be.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong's expressions changed upon seeing this scene, and they immediately retreated, returning to the elegant room.

The gaunt shopkeeper's face showed even more horror, and he pinched his hands in a magic incantation.

The restriction light in the elegant room shone brightly, about to unfold again.

The golden sword light flashed again, and the entire room was split in half like tofu, collapsing with a bang.

Swish, swish, swish!

More than a dozen figures wearing black armor appeared around, surrounding Han Li and the other three.

"Black鼬 Army!" Han Li's pupils shrank, and he immediately recognized the identities of these people, who were the elite of Black鼬 Great King's subordinates.

Moreover, these people had powerful auras and were all Golden Immortals.

Immediately afterward, two figures flashed and appeared in mid-air, falling down.

One of them was a young man in his twenties, with a handsome appearance, wearing a white robe, a square scarf on his head, and holding a white folding fan in his hand, looking like a refined young master.

The other was a woman in a blue dress, with a delicate appearance, but her eyes were tightly closed, seemingly a blind woman. However, her expression was full of indifference, like a cold ice sculpture without emotions.

She was holding a golden long sword in her hand, which bloomed with dreamlike golden light, making it impossible to see what the sword looked like.

Both of them exuded a terrifying pressure like an abyss, and they were both Taiyi Realm existences.

The gaunt shopkeeper saw the two of them and let out a terrified cry, suddenly shaking his sleeves.

A mass of black flames swept out from his body, instantly transforming into a black flame giant demon more than ten feet tall with three heads and six arms.

Black flames rolled on the giant demon's body, but there was no sense of heat at all. Instead, it exuded an extremely cold aura, erupting towards the surroundings.

Then, its six arms shook, turning into afterimages.

Black flame fist shadows the size of millstones appeared out of thin air, bombarding the dozen or so black-armored people around like meteors.

At the same time, its three heads also opened their mouths at the same time, and three groups of black flames shot out, hitting the two people in mid-air.

After the gaunt shopkeeper did these things, yellow light flashed all over his body, and his figure blurred as he disappeared into the ground.

The white-robed youth smiled coldly, but did not move.

The blue-clothed woman shook her arm slightly, and a golden sword Qi reappeared, flashing past, its speed still incredibly fast.

The three groups of black flames stopped a few feet in front of the two of them, and then all of them were neatly cut in half, flying past their bodies.

The gaunt shopkeeper's body had just submerged halfway into the ground when his upper body tilted and fell to the ground.

His entire body was actually cut in half at the waist, and blood poured out.

"Third Young Master, spare me! I was blinded by greed and stole the Ziyang Warm Jade. I am willing to return all the stolen Warm Jade in full. Please spare my life, Third Young Master. I am willing to sign a servant contract with you and serve you for life…" the gaunt shopkeeper shouted desperately.

The white-robed youth smiled contemptuously and flicked his finger without saying a word.

A streak of blood flew out of his hand and disappeared in a flash, piercing the gaunt shopkeeper's brow, like a blood-colored dagger.

The gaunt shopkeeper's cry stopped abruptly, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

The white-robed youth raised his hand and beckoned. The streak of blood shot back from the gaunt shopkeeper's brow, imprisoning a black villain inside, which was the gaunt shopkeeper's divine soul.

The villain struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"I searched for so long, and even my father knew about this, scolding me for it. And you still want to live? If I don't imprison your divine soul in the God-Eating Fire for ten thousand years, how can I vent the hatred in my heart!" the white-robed youth sneered, opening his mouth and swallowing the black divine soul.

After the white-robed youth finished doing these things, his gaze turned and looked at Han Li and Shi Chuankong beside him, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Just now, both sides fought fiercely, and these two people stood in the center of the fight, but they seemed like two transparent people, not affected at all.

"Who are you two? What is your relationship with Guan Sheng and Black Wolf?" the white-robed youth asked Han Li and the other two, his tone quite polite.

"We are just customers who came to this shop to buy things. We have nothing to do with these two people. Now that these two people have been executed, there is nothing for us to do, right? Farewell," Han Li cupped his fists towards the white-robed youth and walked towards the outside. Shi Chuankong followed closely behind.

The white-robed youth's face sank, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Presumptuous! Do you know who my young master is? How dare you speak to him like that!?" A tall black-armored strong man flashed in front of Han Li and rebuked angrily.

"Get out of the way!" Han Li stopped and said expressionlessly.

"You're simply courting death! Surrender obediently, and you might be able to save your lives." The black-armored strong man found it both funny and exasperating.

Han Li and the others were just ants in the True Immortal Realm, but they dared to be so presumptuous. However, without the white-robed youth's order, he did not dare to act without authorization.

"Young Master, these two people were with Guan Sheng and Black Wolf. I'm afraid they are in the same gang and should be arrested immediately," another black-armored man shouted.

"That's right! It's not clear exactly how many thieves sneaked into the mine back then. These two people are probably accomplices as well. Although Black鼬 Great King does not allow us to arrest people in the city at will, we don't need to be polite to criminals who steal the treasures of our Black鼬 City," another person said.
