Yun Qishen

The green light faded, and everything around returned to its previous state. Even the stall owners and shopkeepers who were the weak points of the barrier returned to normal and began to attract passers-by as if nothing had happened.

"Hey! Come and take a look if you pass by!"

"Oh, this is a top-quality magic weapon! It increases your luck, and it's stained with the blood of the mythical beast Qilin! I guarantee that you will have good fortune! There will definitely be endless opportunities on the road to cultivating immortals! There will be a lot of magic weapons, divine pets, and immortal cultivation techniques in the future!"

Looking at the shopkeeper's sly smile as he tried to sell the product, coupled with the words he had just said to the customer, Mo Langqin crossed his arms over his chest and pouted, "Why is he saying that in such a sly way?"

Yun Qishen couldn't help but say, "Is there anyone more dishonest than you?"

Mo Langqin turned his head and half-closed his eyes at Yun Qishen. He emphasized unhappily, "I am an honest businessman. Don't keep calling me a dishonest businessman. A dishonest businessman will ruin your business luck."

Before Yun Qishen could reply, the lion demon crossed his arms, patted his shoulders, and knelt on one knee on the ground, "Greetings, Master Priest. May your glory always bless us."

The woman in a black robe approached Yun Qishen again with a staff in hand. This time, she took off her hoodie and face scarf, revealing a face that was almost the same as that of an ordinary person. The only difference was the tiny plant roots and wood grain on both sides of her cheeks and neck.

The woman was pretty and mature, but she was still far inferior to Taki Yunhua.

  There was no way, Yun Qishen's eyes were too good to eat, and they began to pick. This was not right, but he just felt that no one was as pretty as Long Yunhua, after all, his master was extremely beautiful!

The woman politely extended her hand towards Yun Qishen. She even took the staff in her other hand. She extended her right hand to show her respect for Yun Qishen. “Are you Yun Qishen, the Demon Lord of Jiangbang?”

"Hello." Yun Qishen also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the woman twice.

The woman retracted her hand and picked up the staff with her right hand again. "My name is Jihua Youshu, and I am a priestess of the Western Wandering Demon Clan. I am a tree demon, so please don't be offended."

"I see. Let's get down to business. As for the water from the Cold Lake, I hope you, the priest, can accompany me back to Xinjiang to get it myself." Yun Qishen didn't intend to waste time. It would be much easier to just say what he wanted to say.

Jihua Youshu nodded slightly but also revealed a bit of embarrassment, "The water of the cold lake is indeed very important to me, but I really can't get away now. I was also grateful to the Demon Lord for saving me just now, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to spend the rest of my life in the barrier."

Yun Qishen blinked his eyes, and he became curious, "I am a little curious, who set up that barrier just now? And why did they trap you here?"

Jihua Youshu paused and continued, "Since the Demon Lord saved me, Jihua doesn't intend to hide anything. The people who controlled us with the barrier were a group of people from the Immortal Sect. Some of them seemed to hate the demon race, so when our disguise was exposed, they started to hunt us down."

"If this is a pursuit, then why are you trapped in such a complicated barrier?"

Jihua Youshu further explained, "They wanted the demon pills in our bodies, but because the Chamber of Commerce was still open to the outside world, the flow of people was complicated, and they suddenly had something urgent to leave, so they trapped us in the barrier."

Yun Qishen nodded slightly to show his understanding. "It seems that he wants to come back and deal with you after the Chamber of Commerce is over, or... do you want to take the demon pill in your body alive?"

"You could say the same thing."

"Then that's not hard to understand."

The communication here was normal, but the You Yao on this side, who was wearing a black robe, could not stand it anymore. He shouted at Yun Qishen and took out the scimitar he carried with him, wanting to rush towards Yun Qishen and chop him.

Seeing that something was wrong, You Yao hurriedly stopped him, thus preventing him from getting closer.

"What qualifications do you have to ask such questions to our priests! I don't believe that you, the Demon Lord of Jiangbang, didn't take out the demon cores of my people alive when you killed them! You hypocritical bastard! An evil ghost who worships violence and blood!"

"Shut up, Yinglu!" Jihua Youshu yelled at the wandering demon who had lost his composure.

But the wandering demon had lost all his hatred and reason, "Why should I shut up? I saw it with my own eyes! They said that the border state could accept our demon race! That was all a lie! How could you believe such nonsense! Without him! If it weren't for this bastard Demon Lord! How could I become like this now! My father! My mother! My entire family was crushed into pieces of meat by this Demon Lord and his minions! In that instant! There was nothing left! I could only see the splattered flesh and the resentful spirits of my race! How can you tell me to shut up! I want to kill you, the damn Demon Lord, now!"

"Shadow Deer!" Jihua Youshu turned around and approached the irrational wandering demon. The wandering demon's voice was obviously trembling, and there was a slight sob in his voice, "Priest! Do you really have to use the water from the cold lake..."

Jihua Youshu put her hand on the wandering demon's head, and then she saw a faint green light, and she spoke softly and gently, "Go to sleep."

"..."The wandering monster instantly lost consciousness and fell to the support of the wandering monsters who were trying to stop him.

"Take him down first, and you guys step back."

"Yes."

Watching the group of wandering monsters go away, Yun Qi took a deep breath. He felt really bad. After all, it had been a long time since he was scolded by others. Besides, what others said was not wrong. He, Yun Qishen, did do something wrong at that time. He was trying to make up for it, but there was no obvious effect.

"Young Master? Hey! Young Master!" Mo Langqin poked Yun Qishen's arm with his elbow.

Yun Qishen raised his arm and vented all his anger on Mo Langqin with disdain, "Don't bother me, I'm already annoyed."

As soon as Mo Langqin saw Yun Qishen's dark face, he immediately smoothed it over, "Are you angry? Don't be angry~ Calm down, we are just talking about business~ Who doesn't have some family hatred, right? It's very normal in Gu Ao's place~ You see, right? Humans and demons, demons and monsters, humans and ghosts, ghosts and ghosts..."

While Mo Langqin was muttering to himself, Jihua Youshu turned around and walked back.

"I'm sorry, I failed to discipline my subordinates well, and I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Demon."

Yun Qishen opened his mouth and was about to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He then paused for a moment before speaking, "No, you are not wrong, you don't have to apologize to me. I did not handle the matter with the demon tribe well before, it was my fault, I admit it. I admit that I have done many unforgivable things to your people, I should be the one to say sorry."

Jihua Youshu's eyes widened slightly. After all, she never thought that Yun Qishen would say these words in such an occasion. In her understanding, Yun Qishen has always been a greenhouse flower protected by the people of Jiangbang.

Jihua Youshu smiled and extended his hand again to show his friendship, "So, I hope our cooperation this time will go smoothly."

Yun Qishen once again shook her hand, then asked with concern, "By the way, you just mentioned that you couldn't get away, what's the reason? I want to see if I can help you, which can be regarded as making up for me..."

"Jihua is naturally honored that you can come to help, Demon Lord. But we don't need such compensation."

"This……"

Jihua Youshu's words were quite direct and Yun Qishen was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Seeing Yun Qishen was a little embarrassed, Jihua chose to continue to talk to break the awkwardness, "We need a spiritual bead guarded by a mysterious beast in the secret realm, but in order to defeat the beast, we need to collect some spiritual gold artifacts to synthesize weapons. We were targeted by those immortals when we were looking for spiritual gold artifacts."

"I see." Yun Qishen felt that the matter could be solved. "I have extensive experience in finding items. Can you let me see those spiritual gold magic tools first?"

"Before that, follow the procedure..." Jihua Youshu crossed her hands and touched her shoulders just like Shizi Youyao did before. She then knelt on one knee and spoke to Yun Qishen, "I am very happy to cooperate with you. May your glory always illuminate your country."

"I've said that before..." Yun Qishen was about to bend down to help Jihua Youshu up, but Mo Langqin grabbed his shoulders.

"My dear, this is the basic etiquette of the Youyao officialdom. It would be rude if you bend down to help. Is there no etiquette in your country to return the favor?"

Looking at Mo Langqin's obviously provocative smile, Yun Qishen's face became even darker.

"How come it's obvious that you understand..." (End of this chapter)
