Chapter 24 Black Market Trading
Each of them exudes an extremely powerful aura, and every time they appear outside, the righteous path will be tense to the extreme.
But at this moment they were sitting cross-legged here, their eyes fixed on the three figures on the platform.
An indistinct enchanting figure sat cross-legged on a high platform, with two other figures standing respectfully behind it.
"Master, we have searched all the mountains and rivers in Yunzhou for millions of miles. Are you sure that His Majesty the Divine Emperor has not been captured by the Yuanyang Cult?" A low and hoarse voice echoed in the vermilion palace.
The one asking the question was a four-armed humanoid creature with a hideous face. Scarlet blood was emanating from his body, and just one glance at him made one feel as if countless souls were coming to claim his life.
"That person is not in the Yuanyang Sect, so there is no need to question it." Charming and holy words came from the stage.
"That old ghost from the Yuanyang Sect is still a guest at the Tianji Pavilion? But I guess he can't get the information he wants."
"After all, how could the Tianji Pavilion not know that person's personality? If we find out the specific location now, we will clean him up one by one when he grows up."
"Hey, from what the Taoist master said, are you also planning to help the so-called God-Emperor?" A sneer came from near the platform.
"Master, have you all forgotten that the end result for most of us is death and destruction of the soul? The future glory of the Divine Court has nothing to do with us."
"The ultimate beneficiary is nothing more than a saint behind you, the Taoist master. Respected by all gods, holding a heavy weapon, destroying the world, how glorious and majestic it is."
As the world's top sect, the Demon Spirit Sect has of course determined the authenticity of that memory, which is why some of the senior leaders present are so dissatisfied.
Yes! The Demon Spirit Sect was the biggest beneficiary in that memory, but the fruits of the harvest were reaped by the younger generation, most of whom were cleansed before the feast.
For a moment, the palace fell into silence, and most people turned their eyes to the black-clothed girl behind the Taoist master.
The girl had a faint smile on her face, but did not answer. She just lowered her head and looked respectfully at the enchanting woman sitting cross-legged on the platform.
"Huo Lin, are you looking for death? Are you going to destroy the glorious future of the Taoist sect?"
Before the Taoist master could reply, words filled with murderous intent filled the entire palace.
"Old zombie, it seems that you are still willing to be that man's lackey. Do you still want to squat under the cliff and absorb the blood of the evil Taoist master?"
"But I'm afraid there's no chance. I heard that the evil master is looking for you everywhere recently. Be careful not to get beaten to death."
"enough!"
At this moment, it was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was falling, and an extremely powerful aura filled the palace.
At some point, the figure sitting cross-legged on the platform stood up.
"Find him, whether it means imprisonment, soul-searching, killing, enslavement or even support, we must find him."
"If Yunzhou doesn't have it, then we will turn the whole Great Zhou world upside down. Anyone who dares to stop us will be the mortal enemy of the Demon Spirit Sect."
"Follow the Taoist master's order!"
Amidst the roar, all the senior executives present responded, and no one dared to refuse.
After all, there is only one reason why she can become the Taoist master in the Demon Spirit Sect, and that is that her strength far exceeds that of everyone present here, otherwise she would definitely be surrounded and killed by everyone.
As the senior officials present left one by one, only three people on the high platform remained in the vermilion palace.
"Master, I'm sorry! I didn't leave Liang Hui behind, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome." Su Yao's eyes were filled with sincere apology.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
"Then next time, Xiao Su Yao, be careful when you see that person, and don't keep the master waiting for too long."
With a charming laugh, the Taoist master's figure slowly disappeared on the platform.
At the same time, another beautiful figure beside Su Yao also disappeared.
……
Two days later, night, breeze.
Yuanshui City, ten miles east.
A black-robed figure wearing a wooden mask ran through the bushes.
He carried a nearly two-meter-long fine iron spear at his shoulder. The gun barrel near the tip was wrapped with black cotton cloth to absorb any blood that might drip.
Suddenly, Liang Hui stopped running and looked at the deserted village shrouded in mist.
After hesitating for a moment, he took a step forward. As he got closer to the village, the visibility became lower.
After walking about 20 meters, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear. A faint white light slid down from the sky, bringing light to the front. Stalls were set up on both sides of the road, and stall owners in different clothes sat cross-legged on the ground waiting.
Even most of the people walking on the street concealed their faces in various ways and walked quietly.
"It seems like this is your first time here. Do you know the rules?" A short old man with a wrinkled face walked out from the side, with an old voice.
He stretched out his skinny hand towards Liang Hui.
Is this what is called capital verification?
Facing the flat palm, Liang Hui directly took a few green animal hairs and placed them on it.
Then he headed toward the road.
Facing this short old man, Liang Hui instinctively sensed danger and wanted to stay away.
"The hair of a strange beast, does it have flesh and blood?"
The short old man pinched the animal hair, his cloudy eyes showing some intention.
He watched Liang Hui's departing figure with dark eyes.
Liang Hui, who was walking on the road, also felt the gaze coming from behind.
"Is that so?"
Liang Hui murmured in his heart.
He knew that if he took out the exotic beast hair, people would definitely be concerned about him, but because of the weapons, rent, and living expenses, he only had more than thirty taels of silver left.
Such silver obviously cannot pass the capital verification, so the only option is to take the risk and expose the fur of the exotic animal.
However, he planned to sell this exotic animal fur on the black market, so the danger it brought was still acceptable.
While thinking, Liang Hui had already walked away from the entrance of the black market and looked at the stalls on both sides of the road.
Not long after, Liang Hui stopped in front of a stall and looked at the furs of various large animals spread out.
The voice was low and asked, "Collecting furs? Exotic beasts."
"Exotic beast!"
The stall owner exclaimed, surprise revealed in his eyes behind the black iron mask.
You should know that the furs of exotic animals have always been rare and of high value. They can be used to make leather armor and to add face to those young men and ladies.
"Take it! Can you take it out for us to look at? Then we can make an estimate of its value."
"Are you sure?"
Liang Hui glanced around and spoke in a meaningful tone.
The stall owner immediately understood what Liang Hui meant.
"So what if they see it? The price I offer is definitely the fairest. If someone offers a higher price, so what if I sell it to them?"
There is confidence and frankness in his words.
There was a hint of surprise in Liang Hui's eyes.
Without any further hesitation, he took out the green animal skin from under his black robe and spread it on the stall.
After spreading it out, the stall owner did not immediately reach out to touch it.
Instead, he looked at it carefully before reaching out his hand to rub the animal skin to feel its toughness.
"If two hundred and forty taels of silver are okay, I'll buy it."
The stall owner stretched out his hand, gestured with numbers, and spoke.
"I'll pay two hundred and sixty taels. I want the exotic animal skin."
At some point, a young man came to the stall and shouted loudly.
His shouting attracted a lot of people to gather around the stall.
