The old man sized up the treasure in his hand, but he did not spend much effort. Instead, he focused most of his attention on Li Yuanqing. Since this young man was the boss’s guest, he must not be here to cause trouble on purpose.
However, this guy actually had so many treasures of the missing demons. His background was extraordinary.
Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and replied, “The owners of these treasures are no longer around, but they might still have some family members.”
“Since they are family members, they no longer have any ownership.” The old man’s eyes lit up as he said, “Now that Ping City is quite peaceful under City Lord Hu’s rule, I believe no one will cause trouble for the sake of some deceased people.”
When the old man heard Li Yuanqing say that those people were no longer around, he was shocked. He knew the approximate strength of these demons. Although his team had just arrived, he knew a lot about the situation in Ping City.
There was always more to ask about when doing business here.
These people were all rare experts. But in Li Yuanqing’s eyes, this was a worthless transaction.
The old man gritted his teeth and kept these things. Even if he offended some demon clans, he could not offend the people behind Li Yuanqing.
“Then you mean that the price is not a problem, sir?”
The old man picked up the rod again. “I can offer three thousand spirit stones for the Snake Spirit Treasure Rod. As for this long saber, it’s a little more ordinary. I can only offer eight hundred.”
Li Yuanqing looked at the old man expressionlessly. Although this old man’s cultivation level was not high, his eyes were quite sharp. He only took a glance and could see the details of these two items clearly.
Li Yuanqing specially took out a good item and a more ordinary one. He did not expect this old man to be so accurate.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing did not say anything, the old man spoke first, “I believe that Young Master knows what you’re doing. I see that you are the Pavilion Master’s esteemed guest, so I’m offering a fixed price. It can be said to be very fair.”
“Deal.” Li Yuanqing agreed immediately.
The old man smiled and put away the two treasures. He took out a receipt and wrote a list.
“Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll get someone to bring 3,800 spirit stones from the accounts room.”
Just as the old man was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Yuanqing. “Sir, please wait!”
The old man turned around in surprise. “What other instructions do you have, Young Master?”
Li Yuanqing flipped his hand without changing his expression and a black sword appeared in his hand.
This sword was just placed here out of thin air, but it emitted a faint cold light. The temperature of the room immediately dropped. The sword had yet to be activated, but it already had such power. It was really moving.
Even the old man’s expression changed the moment he saw the sword. “This is?”
Li Yuanqing casually threw the sword into the old man’s hand. “I happened to obtain a sword. Help me take a look.”
The old man gave Li Yuanqing a deep look. If such a sword could be obtained by chance, everyone would have become rich if they picked it up on the streets.
This was a rare sword in the mortal world.
“Could this be the legendary… Black Dragon Sword?”
The old man looked up at Li Yuanqing in confusion.
This sword was snatched by the Man-eating Vine during the chaos. It was originally the sword of the strongest expert in Ping City, She Tianjun.
Li Yuanqing had a handy sword in his hand. Although this thing looked good, it was still a little inferior. It was useless to keep it in his hand. It would naturally be best if he could sell it for a good price.
“That’s right.”
After receiving Li Yuanqing’s affirmative answer, the old man’s hand that was holding the sword trembled. He carefully placed the sword on the table and carefully bent down, his eyes in front of it. He held a crystal clear gem in his hand. A bright light shone from the gem onto the sword.
The old man looked carefully up and down. After a long time, he finally straightened up slowly and let out a long sigh. “As expected, the Black Dragon Sword is not bad. This Black Dragon Sword is the only one of such quality.”
Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry. He waited for him to finish appraising before asking, “Then how much can this Black Dragon Sword be sold for?”
The old man hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Yuanqing. “Usually, I have to ask the Pavilion Master for permission for such a business. However, since Young Master is the Pavilion Master’s esteemed guest, I will make this decision today. What do you think of twenty thousand spirit stones?”
This price was not low at all.
Li Yuanqing was also a little surprised. He did not expect She Tianjun’s sword to be able to be sold for such a good price. He might be able to exchange these 20,000 spirit stones for a lot of medicinal herbs.
“All right, then. Twenty thousand it is.”
After receiving Li Yuanqing’s answer, the old man heaved a long sigh of relief.
“Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll go get the spirit stones for you.”
The old man hurried out of the room with the sword. Not long after, the old man returned in a hurry. However, this time, he was holding a cloth bag.
The old man handed the cloth bag to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing opened the bag and took a look inside. The spirit stones inside were all very pure. At a glance, they were all medium-grade spirit stones.
The Treasure Pavilion was indeed rich and overbearing. According to market price, one mid-grade spirit stone was exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones.
No one would change it outside.
The old man looked at Li Yuanqing in fear and trepidation. “Young Master, this is not a small sum. If you need to save it, I can arrange it for you immediately.”
If an ordinary person had such a large sum of money, they would definitely be targeted. There were so many demons in Ping City. These demons were ruthless and it was definitely not safe. However, Li Yuanqing was not worried about this. He was still worried that there were fewer and fewer demons following him recently.
Some time ago, there were still some, but other than the two from the Rhinoceros Race, the rest of their cultivation levels were not very high. It seemed like the powerful demons had been hiding recently.
There were also some who had recently organized and launched wave after wave of assassinations against Hu Jiujiu.
Although the human race’s forces had risen very quickly, the demon race still had a foundation after all. They still had strong enough experts there. As long as Hu Jiujiu died, the Demon Race would definitely succeed in electing the City Lord according to the competition.
This was the last chance for the demons to regain control of Ping City. Now, Hu Jiujiu was leaning more and more towards the human race. All the demons had already sensed that the situation had become serious.
“That won’t be troublesome.” Li Yuanqing asked, “Where’s your Pavilion Master? Where is she?”
“If Young Master wants to look for the Pavilion Master, I’m afraid it’s a little inconvenient today,” the old man replied. “The Pavilion Master went out early this morning. I’m sure Young Master knows that the entire Ping City has been in chaos recently. The demons have mobilized many people to assassinate City Lord Hu Jiujiu.”
“It’s indeed a mess.”
“City Lord Hu Jiujiu has contributed greatly to the success of our Treasure Pavilion and its current scale.” The old man was very grateful as he looked in the direction of the City Lord Manor. “The Pavilion Master has always been a grateful person. Now that the City Lord is in danger, the Pavilion Master has arranged for many people to take turns protecting the City Lord Manor.”
“Your Pavilion Master is really considerate.” Li Yuanqing nodded and said.
Although their support was not of much use, it was better than nothing. At least it would boost their morale.
The old man immediately became interested when he mentioned the Pavilion Master. “I wonder where you met the Pavilion Master. I didn’t expect you to receive such favor from the Pavilion Master at such a young age.”

Not everyone could have such a VIP token. Sky Room No. 1 was a room that Ye Qiluo had kept for herself.
It was obvious what the status of this room was.
Li Yuanqing exchanged a few pleasantries with the old man. After putting away the cloth bag, he asked about Ye Qiluo’s possible location and left the Treasure Pavilion.
Many patrol teams had gathered outside the City Lord Manor. Many of them were humans who had voluntarily come to protect Hu Jiujiu.
Many of them were from the demon race who came secretly. They thought that they were very successful in disguising themselves beautifully, so they pretended to be humans and guards. One of the attacks earlier was done by the disguised guards of the demon race.
Ever since that time, the requirements of the guards at the side had increased greatly. Most of them were organized by certain organizations.
Every guard team more or less had some background. It was not as simple as those volunteer groups like before. For example, the guard team with the word ‘Treasure’ written on it was a team under the Treasure Pavilion.
They were drinking tea in a teahouse.
Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared in the crowd.
The guards were chatting happily when they were shocked by the person who suddenly appeared behind their backs. They did not even see where this person came from before he suddenly stood in front of them.
“Yes?”
Someone looked up at Li Yuanqing. He didn’t know when Li Yuanqing had stood in front of him. Before he could speak, Li Yuanqing asked, “Hello, Brother. May I know where your Pavilion Master is now? I’m looking for her.”
“Pavilion Master?”
“Why are you looking for the pavilion master?”
Hearing that Li Yuanqing was here for Ye Qiluo, the surrounding people stood up one after another and looked at Li Yuanqing warily with their weapons in their hands.
Li Yuanqing took out his token and waved it in front of everyone.
“So you’re a VIP.”
“The Pavilion Master is having a meal with the City Lord now. She shouldn’t be back anytime soon.”
“Is she in the City Lord Manor?”
“That’s right. The City Lord invited the Pavilion Master in for lunch today. The two of them have been eating since…”
As this person spoke, he turned around and realized that Li Yuanqing was no longer where he was. He had left just like that. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
In the City Lord Manor, Hu Jiujiu and Ye Qiluo sat opposite each other.
“Although the City Lord doesn’t need our protection, we still have to do our best. My team will always be guarding outside. If anything happens, please just tell them.”
Ye Qiluo looked at Hu Jiujiu and nodded slightly.
After talking for a long time, Hu Jiujiu was not tempted at all.
Hu Jiujiu was indeed capable, but she was facing countless demon assassins. She finally had more strength.
However, although Hu Jiujiu said that she did not need the guards, Ye Qiluo still sent many people to guard her. After all, Hu Jiujiu had provided them with such a good shelter so that they could do business here. She was grateful.
While the two of them were chatting, Li Yuanqing suddenly appeared.
“Master, why are you here?”
Although Ye Qiluo was still here, Hu Jiujiu did not hide anything.
Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing deeply. Every time she saw Li Yuanqing, she felt that he was unfathomable. Perhaps it was because of this that Hu Jiujiu always felt that she did not need the help of others.
“Pavilion Master Ye.”
“Young Master Li.”
“Pavilion Master Ye’s business is booming. Congratulations.”
“Thank you for your help.”
“You’re too kind, Pavilion Master.”
Li Yuanqing was talking to her when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
Hu Jiujiu glanced at the two of them and walked out.
“There’s a group of people outside the City Lord. They don’t look friendly.” Minglun’s forehead was beaded with sweat.
Hu Jiujiu had a bad feeling. “Who is it?”
Min Lun replied, “It seems to be from another city. They said that they came from Sea City.”
“Sea City?”
“They’re calling for a fight outside now. They want the City Lord to…” Minglun stopped mid-sentence, afraid to continue.
Hu Jiujiu could naturally think of what to say next. Her face darkened. “Bring me there.”
“It’s best if the City Lord doesn’t go out. I’m afraid they…”
“It’s fine. If I, as the City Lord, can only hide in the residence when an external enemy attacks, then I won’t be the City Lord anymore.”
“But their leader is quite powerful.”
“It doesn’t matter. Go to the front now.”
After Minglun left, Hu Jiujiu returned to the room and found that it was already empty. Ye Qiluo and Li Yuanqing had already left.
Outside the inner city of Ping City, a group of people stood arrogantly at the city gate.
“What’s going on? Ping City has always been the territory of the demons. Why aren’t they even opening the door when the demons are here?!” This pair of demons raised their flags and shouted outside the city gate arrogantly.

However, no matter how arrogant they were, no one dared to stop them. This group of people was too powerful and was not something that the group of people below could stop.
“Don’t waste time. I want to see the person in charge of the demons in the inner city.”
Following the order from inside, the city gates of the inner city were blown apart from the inside out. The city guards defending the inner city were also blown apart.
With such a huge formation, how could they dare to defend here? They could only quickly escape to the side and stop them.
The demons in the inner city were all greatly encouraged.
