My enemies became my companions

Chapter 549: Human flesh debt repayment (two in one)

"Brother He, I am the evil person."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was about to step forward to clasp their fists froze at the same time and looked at each other. The hearty laughter of the man of the martial arts world immediately deflated.

There was a flying sword accompanying him. He Taixiong thought he was just joking, but when he saw Chen Yi's calm face, he suddenly looked surprised and asked: "Master Long, what's going on?"

"Now I am helping the White Lotus Sect, it's that simple." Chen Yi said slowly: "I am really not a Jianghu hero, and I concealed my true identity from Brother He at that time. I regret it, I regret it."

Rather than being exposed later, or being recognized by others, secretly plotting, and laying the possible murderous intention, it is better to be open and aboveboard and reveal the truth first. Whether we can interact or not, it doesn't matter. It is better to say it now than to hide it.

He Taixiong's expression suddenly became serious. After hesitating for a moment, he said bluntly, "I don't know whether Taoist Long has been bewitched or has something on the White Lotus Sect, but I don't care about anything else. I only remember Taoist Long's kindness. Whoever dares to attack you is against the He family."

The words were spoken straightforwardly, but the people around He Taixiong looked a little hesitant. One of the knights with swords kept saying, "Brother He."

"Brother Dong Peng, please don't gossip. If you were here, I would do the same thing."

Chen Yi said: "With Brother He's words, I can rest assured to make friends with him."

The two of them bowed to each other at this time, finally meeting each other. Yin Weiying watched from the side and yawned. She was determined to become an immortal, and had never cared much about Chen Yi's affairs in the martial arts world. Even if Chen Yi occasionally mentioned it, she would just respond casually.

But being unfaithful is a different matter.

Thinking of this, Yin Weiying glared fiercely at Donggong Ruoshu, who looked like a ghost.

Donggong Ruoshu shrank back, and for some reason he felt a chill on his back, a different kind of chill from the cold wind.

Over there, Chen Yi exchanged a few words with He Taixiong, only to learn that He Taixiong had been heading south to Wuchang Prefecture since they parted ways, but he was a step too late. After the governor was assassinated, all the roads along the way to Wuchang Prefecture had long been blocked by Su Hongtao's men, and the inspections were extremely strict. No matter how hard He Taixiong looked, he couldn't find the way into the city.

By the time they were finally able to enter the city, Su Hongtao had died, Kou Jun had been arrested and was awaiting trial, and Han Xiu was in power with the help of Magpie Pavilion. Although He Taixiong had arrived at this time, there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, Han Xiu felt that it was useless to keep He Taixiong, so he suggested that he go to Longhu Mountain to help destroy the White Lotus Sect. He Taixiong also had the same intention, so he didn't come to eat for a while. He happened to catch up with the Heroes' Meeting and entered the Demon Abyss, where he happened to meet Chen Yi.

At this time, someone on the street looked over there, lowered his head and hurriedly walked into the street.

..........
There are always some people in the world who like to eat fish eyes.

Either pickled, fried or steamed.

This is a tall building, located deep in the market and built against the mountain. The carved window frames creak open, and a plate of fish eyes is placed on the table.

raw.

The moment his eyeballs dipped into the soy sauce dish, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he brought them to his lips and took a light bite, bringing out the delicious flavor.

The person who was enjoying the food alone was reclining on the Arhat couch, holding a black jade fan in his left hand and waving it gently, while the tip of the white jade chopsticks in his right hand was piercing a trembling eyeball, and he was enjoying himself very comfortably.

His name is Lu Le Ren, and this market has been in his hands for many years.

The Demon Refining Abyss is even more barren than the underworld. There is not even an inch of tree bark to be seen. The demons are refined during the long hours, and most of them survive by swallowing gold and eating soil. A few big demons... can enjoy the dishes from this market.

Therefore, the demons in the Demon Refining Abyss racked their brains and searched their entire lives to find this market.

Unfortunately, most of them returned empty-handed, and the occasional few that slipped through the net were also dealt with.

There were footsteps on the stairs, and someone came up to report:
"Shopkeeper Lu."

Being interrupted while enjoying the meal, Lui Le Ren said in a reproachful tone: "Didn't I tell you not to come up if you have nothing to do?"

"I understand, but..." The servant who reported the situation said word by word, "Someone is coming."

people?
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lu Leren's eyes.

Yes, most of the demons in the Demon Refining Abyss would rack their brains and search for this market their entire lives but could never find it. But if it were a human, it wouldn’t take them much time to find it.

There is no other reason,

Who says demons love to eat people the most?

He hasn't eaten anyone in a long time...
"Please ask them to come up and entertain."

…………..
"Master Long, can you see the problem here?"

"I can't say I've figured out the problem, but I just have some ideas." Chen Yi said slowly.

The people around He Taixiong were surprised and looked at him inquiringly. Chen Yi just smiled faintly and said:

"Don't worry, don't worry, someone is coming..."

After hearing these words, everyone saw the figure of a young servant running towards them from a distance, as if following the sound.

"These guests, these guests."

The servant hurried over. Everyone looked at him suspiciously for a few times, and then they heard him say:

"My boss saw that you two had a good impression of each other, so he specially prepared a banquet to entertain you."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Plus, this market was so strange, so everyone became wary and no one dared to speak first.

Chen Yi laughed first: "Where is your shopkeeper?"

"It's the Yunyun Tower in front. I'll take you there. It's only a few steps away." The servant nodded and bowed, looking extremely attentive and flattering.

Chen Yi made a gesture to leave, "Okay, take me there."

"Hey!" Dong Peng, who had just tried to dissuade us, said, "We won't go. Who knows if there's any trickery going on?"

The remaining people on He Taixiong's side nodded one after another. It was obvious that there was a trap going on. How could they just follow him to die? He Taixiong, who knew some of Chen Yi's background, was a little hesitant.

Faced with this situation, Yin Weiying sighed secretly in his heart.

After all, these people have little experience in dealing with Chen Yi. You must know that even the Goddess Taihua, after fighting with him many times, could only gain the upper hand occasionally. It took years and months before she imprisoned him.

Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue were ready to set off. The servant clapped his hands, and another servant followed over, leading the way for the two with a sword.

Dong Peng and the others certainly wouldn't do something stupid like walking into a trap, so none of them moved. When He Taixiong wanted to follow, he was immediately pulled back by them.

"Brother He, there must be something fishy going on."

"Since he is so capable, let him go and die."

"Let's not get involved."

After a few whispers, He Taixiong felt it difficult to follow, so the group of people stopped where they were.

The servant looked at them with a smile, waiting patiently for them to discuss the matter, and his smile became more and more cordial.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke again, the servant asked, "Have these guests reached an agreement?"

Dong Peng took advantage of this opportunity and said, "We won't go."

Before he finished speaking, all the pedestrians on the street suddenly turned their heads and stopped moving. Hundreds of pairs of empty eyes stared at everyone.

The boy laughed strangely.
"Hehehe, guests, please don't refuse a toast or drink the penalty wine."

..........
Chen Yi had just carried the coffin and took Yin Tingxue upstairs for a short while when he leaned on the balcony and saw He Taixiong and his group being led into the restaurant by a servant.

Before Chen Yi could come to his senses, Yin Weiying said to himself, "As expected."

Having known him for a long time, the nun has long understood that most of the time, doing things the right way with Chen Yi may not necessarily bring benefits, but doing things the opposite way will definitely not bring good results.

It’s a pity that most of the people who went against Chen Yi died. Only a very few people with clever strategies managed to survive. She, Yin Weiying, was one of them.

As for the others, Xiao Yin always follows his decisions obediently, and Dong Gong Ruoshu will just lie on the coffin and won't go anywhere. They won't go completely against him. After all, they don't know the consequences of going against him.

The two groups met again on the terrace. Dong Peng and the others turned pale, unable to conceal their embarrassment. Chen Yi had no expression on his face and just bowed.

He lowered his head and glanced at the Qingsui flying sword.

The Qingsui flying sword's reaction was a little strange just now. Although there was a spirit in the sword, this sword was too spiritual. It had all kinds of emotions, anger, anger, and joy, and from time to time it would slightly raise the tip of the sword...

Chen Yi couldn't help but wonder, is this flying sword really just an ordinary spiritual flying sword?

After sitting down, Chen Yi first looked around the terrace. When he went upstairs just now, he saw that the restaurant was luxuriously decorated. Now that he was on the terrace, it was even more so. It was obvious that the owner of this place was no ordinary person and must know the inside story.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, just extract your soul and spirit.

Soon, dishes were served on the table: sweet and sour fish, braised pork, three fresh vegetables, salted duck... Every dish was delicious and tasty, making people's appetite grow. However, based on previous experience, no one picked up their chopsticks.

"Why aren't you moving? Are you waiting for me to come?"

He laughed loudly, and it was as if a gentle breeze was blowing past him. When he turned around, he saw a gentle and elegant man in scholar's robes walking towards him.

No one picked up their chopsticks. Dong Peng and the others looked at Lu Leshan with a hint of fear and hostility. On the other side, Yin Tingxue didn't dare to look around, and Chen Yi was calm and just bowed to Lu Leshan.

"Is it not to your liking? Although the dishes at Yunyunlou are not as good as those at other places, they are the best here. Hey, why are you all staring at me?"

Lu Leshan behaved in an elegant and gentle manner, and he poured wine for everyone slowly and leisurely.

At this time, someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you and where is this market?!"

Lu Leren pretended to be surprised and said, "Where else could it be? You gentlemen walked in on your own. Where else could it be?"

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had asked a similar question before and received a similar answer. Now he understood that the people here were deliberately vague in order to avoid mentioning the name of this place...

Why can't it be mentioned?
Is it because there is something odd about the name, or is it that once it is mentioned, the market will be exposed to the eyes of Longhushan?

After Lu Leren finished pouring the wine, he did not sit down. He pinched the neck of the wine pot with two fingers and shook it gently, poured himself a glass, and asked: "Do you know what is the most precious thing in this Demon Refining Abyss?"

Before He Taixiong could speak, Dong Peng pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and sneered: "It can't be the rotten food on your table."

"It's a human." Lu Leren said slowly, "The demons thirst for humans like they thirst for blood, but this place has never seen living people for years."

These words made people's hair stand on end. The gangsters were furious and ready to slam the table at any time.

Lu Leren narrowed his eyes, as if he realized that this group of people could not communicate, so he turned around and looked at Chen Yi, who had not said a word from then until now.

He smiled and said, "We can just kill these people and be done with it. What do you think, sir?"

The extremely straightforward words were spoken, with almost no reservations. The group of men paused and then became furious.

Someone immediately stood up and slammed the table: "Who are you and what do you mean?"

The Lu Le people ignored them, as if they were just fish on the chopping board. When the knife stabbed down, the pigs, cows, sheep, and fish would all cry out. It was curses, screams, and cries, but it was all meaningless.

He just stared at Chen Yi and said, "I can see that you are more capable than them. There is no need for us to hide it. You have a flying sword and you are a disciple of Longhu Mountain, huh? No matter what, they can't deal with us. Even if we don't join forces, I alone am enough."

He spoke eloquently without any greetings, as if the two had known each other for a long time.

Seeing that there was still no response and that he seemed doubtful, Lui Lok Ren moved closer.

Before Chen Yi could make a move, the flying sword hummed and hung between them. Lu Leren stood up and laughed, "What a good sword! How much demon blood has it drunk? Do you want to drink some human blood?"

At this time, Chen Yi stretched out his hand to move the flying sword away and asked, "What's the shopkeeper's name?"

"My last name is Lu, and my given name is Le Ren. I don't have a given name." Lu Le Ren smiled kindly, "As long as you give me a nod, we will be good brothers. From now on, you will be responsible for bringing people into the Demon Refining Abyss, and I will be responsible for doing business and making this restaurant a booming business."

From the moment he saw through Taoist Chen Yi's identity, Lu Leren had an idea in his mind. These warriors were useless and could be simply killed and eaten. But this Taoist was different. He made people feel... a little dangerous. In that case, there would be no harm in cooperating with him.

Moreover, there is a hint of the White Lotus Sect on him.

Lu Leren continued, "Don't think it's not good for you. You Taoists, what you need most are things like demon pills and demon bones for refining pills and treasures. There aren't many other things in the Demon Refining Abyss, but these are the most. My restaurant provides food for the big demons in the Demon Refining Abyss, and the treasures I get in return are countless and inexhaustible."

"Where did all these natural treasures come from?"

"How can it come about? Sons give birth to sons, grandsons give birth to grandsons, endlessly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Tingxue shuddered.

Seeing this, Lu Leren asked with a smile: "What are you afraid of, little girl?"

“…How…so cruel.”

"Cruel?" Lü Leren said with a calm smile, "If you mortals can eat your own children, why can't we demons do the same?"

Over there, the people from the martial arts world could no longer hold back and stood up one by one, grabbing their weapons. They caught a glimpse of a few dark shadows flashing behind the screen, and when they looked again, they saw that the entire restaurant had been surrounded. Their faces turned pale.

"Don't be impatient, my dear guests. Why not try this drunken shrimp first?"

Lu Leren tapped the glass cup with chopsticks, and the translucent shrimps twitched in the rice wine.

He Taixiong also slammed the table and stood up: "There is no point in talking more. I hate beating around the bush the most!"

The thick-backed knife split the drunken shrimp bowl open, and the wine was poured onto the blue brick floor, sizzling and smoking.

"Oh my, do you know that food is wasted in the Demon Refining Abyss?"

Lu Leren looked at the shrimps on the ground with regret. He waved his bone fan lightly, and circles of black air rose up around him, which was extremely gloomy.
"It's going to be paid with human flesh."

After saying this, he looked at Chen Yi again, as if asking silently: What do you think?
Chen Yi glanced at him and then asked, "Where is this?"

"Haha, where could it be? If you agree, I'll tell you where this is."

"This market is actually a monster?" He said slowly, "Are you afraid of waking it up?"

As soon as he heard the words, Lu Leren's face changed in shock.

He turned around and suddenly jumped up, wanting to smash Chen Yi to pieces with a blow on the head!
