Li Yan was thinking about the reaction speed of the Demon Guards.
But he didn't know that the Demon Guards have always been like this. They often appear just after others have finished taking action.
Not only can we catch the "murderer" to serve as a warning to others, but we can also extract a lot of benefits from the other party.
Li Yan thanked Master Wanxiang.
Before the Demon Guards approached, Jiao Wuxing's resentful voice was heard.
"Who are you?"
He was not a stupid man, and he had already seen that this man was completely different from the information he had obtained about several masters from the "Falling Star Valley", especially his lateral strength, which was far beyond the reach of a cultivator.
At the same time, he did not say anything like the other party's victory was unfair, as that would have put him at a disadvantage.
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me, Falling Star Valley, Zhang Ming!"
Since Li Yan had already taken action, he naturally would not hide it. He answered with a smile on his face, and his expression was completely different from the thundering one before.
Jiao Wuxing on the opposite side was stunned.
"He is indeed not a Star Moth. With such high level of cultivation, how come I have never heard of his name?"
Although he was at a disadvantage in the previous fight, Jiao Wuxing didn't think so in his heart, and his face remained stern at all.
"I mistook him for a Dharma practitioner before, and before I could give it my best effort, he took advantage of me!"
He covered his right hip with one hand and was about to speak again when he heard someone shouting in the distance.
"How dare you take action in the city!"
… …
After a cup of tea, the five demon guards had already rushed away. The fact was that both sides had taken action, so there was nothing more to say.
Jiao Wuxing obviously did not want to tell others the real reason and admit that he did it.
With no one dying, both sides were given fifty lashes and fined five thousand spirit stones each, which was a heavy punishment for anyone.
But neither side raised any objection. Seeing Jiao Wuxing silently took out a storage bag and threw it over, Xie Tongyi turned around without hesitation and asked the waiter to take out the spirit stones and hand them over.
His eyesight is not much worse than Su Yuan's. If Li Yan still needs instructions for this matter, he can pack up and go back.
The leading demon guard stared at the two men coldly, gave them a routine warning, then turned around and led his men away.
As long as no one dies and you can afford the spirit stones, then go ahead and do it. Whoever makes the first move gets the spirit stones. There is no reason to explain and they don't want to hear your explanation.
If you don't have the spirit stones to pay after you take action, the result will be quite miserable. After being taken back to the prison, you will inevitably be tortured. After that, if no one brings money to redeem you, you can only wait to die in prison.
Therefore, no one in the city would choose to take action here unless they have something to rely on or are under extreme necessity.
Seeing the Demon Guards roaring away, Master Wanxiang immediately clasped his palms together.
"Amitabha, Zhang Xiaoyou, your cultivation is so superb, it is really unexpected!"
When he looked at Li Yan again, he felt that there was a difference between the other's eyebrows and there was a hint of sharpness.
His cultivation level was higher than the other two, and he could see that Jiao Wuxing was defeated because he underestimated his enemy, but this could not be used as a reason for being defeated. Zhang Ming's strength was indeed beyond his expectations.
Li Yan bowed slightly.
"I was beaten up at my door, so I had no choice but to do this. Please bear with me, Master!"
As he spoke, his facial aura had been slightly adjusted again.
Just before he rushed out of the wing room, he had used his spiritual energy to make slight adjustments to his face. Even acquaintances would not be able to notice anything wrong at first, but strangers would have this impression imprinted in their minds.
He was a cautious person and had always been wary of the Nascent Soul cultivator who had brought Zhao Min with him, so even though he knew it would not be such a coincidence that he would be noticed.
But he immediately made some cover-ups, so when Master Wanxiang looked at him again, he felt that Zhang Ming's aura had changed significantly.
"Zhang... Ming... Right, that's really good. Su Yuan did such a thing, and you took action without asking. Needless to say, all of this was secretly supported by your sect."
Jiao Wuxing was also quick-witted. He quickly went over what had just happened in his mind and immediately took action as soon as the other party appeared. It was clear that he knew the reason behind it.
He ignored the strange looks from the people around him and stared at Li Yan. After swallowing the pill, he had been regulating his breathing during the time when the Demon Guards arrived, and his external injuries had recovered rapidly.
His "Ghost Dragon Clan" can provide the "Holy Demon Palace" with mid- and low-level elixirs. The quality of the elixirs is naturally not weak. Especially with his status in the sect, he must carry top-quality healing items.
Compared to internal injuries, external injuries such as broken bones and tendons are much easier to heal for monks.
Li Yan turned around again, not caring about the viciousness in the other person's eyes.
"Since you have already started, why bother talking about other things? There is no such thing as a long-term business. The employer chooses who he wants. If you have the ability, take it back!"
Li Yan would not back down on this matter at all, and rarely showed his tough side.
Since he wants to return to the Wild Moon Continent, it is imaginable how difficult it will be to fulfill his wish with his strength. The things he will face will only become more and more numerous and more and more difficult. He cannot avoid some key issues.
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhang was able to injure me with one blow, his magical powers are already amazing. I originally wanted to beat the younger one first, and then the older one would come out, so that I could see him clearly. Now there is no need to wait!"
Jiao Wuxing was also a cautious person. Although he felt that he was tricked because of his carelessness, in some ways, the opponent must have the ability to challenge others of higher levels.
Otherwise, how could he have been injured? Now that he couldn't fight again here, he could only think of another way to deal with the opponent and avenge his previous humiliation.
"Well, so what?"
Li Yan put away his smile and looked at Jiao Wuxing coldly, with a chill in his tone.
Behind him, merchants pouring out of the shops and a group of "Falling Star Valley" disciples were all looking at the two of them. They had seen clearly some details that outsiders did not know.
"Su Yuan seems to have snatched the business of the 'Ghost Dragon Clan'..." Su Yuan and Xie Tongyi showed admiration in their eyes, especially Su Yuan, who naturally felt very comfortable in his heart.
Master Wanxiang on one side guessed the real reason why the two sides fought.
"Trading, employer? What kind of conflict can Jiao Wuxing or the 'Ghost Dragon Clan' have with this store? The only thing they have in common is 'pills'...!"
Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, Jiao Wuxing felt angry. Then, he took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to attack.
"Fellow Daoist, are you asking even though you already know the answer? It's very simple. Let's have a real fight, and the loser will withdraw from this matter. This way, everything can be resolved. How do you think?"
In front of so many people here, Jiao Wuxing didn't want to reveal the cause of the conflict, but he knew that the other party could understand his meaning.
"Are you trying to trick me into leaving the city to kill me, or..."
Li Yan thought to himself, he did not answer immediately, but looked back at Master Wanxiang who was standing beside him in confusion.
"Master, is there a place in the city where you can fight?"
He was making the final confirmation. If the other party thought that he could fight him outside the city, then there was something wrong with his brain.
Is it really for the sake of face that he went to the so-called "single-handed meeting"?
"Amitabha, Zhang Xiaoyou doesn't know much about the 'Holy Demon City'. You are not allowed to take action in the main city area, but outside the main city area, the 'Holy Demon Palace' has opened up ten sub-peaks nearby.
There is a battle platform on the top of each peak. As long as both parties pay spirit stones, the battle formation can be activated. Both parties can display their magical powers to their heart's content, regardless of life or death!"
Master Wanxiang was not too surprised by Li Yan's question. It was clear from the fact that he had asked before whether it was allowed to kill people in the city.
The Elder Zhang in front of him had only been promoted to the Golden Core stage not long ago, and he must have been in seclusion in the sect practicing hard. It was normal that he didn't know much about the "Holy Demon Palace", so he explained a few words about it.
After hearing this, Li Yan was speechless.
"Oh? Aren't they still doing it in the city? They just changed the way they asked for the spirit stones. The 'Holy Demon Palace' really has many ways to make money.
It can not only show your unique majesty, but also easily earn more spirit stones."
Seeing Li Yan asking the monk next to him, many people on the street were stunned.
"This kid is a fool. He doesn't even know the rules of the Holy Demon City, yet he dared to attack me just now."
After listening to Master Wanxiang's words, Li Yan did not speak immediately, but his eyes flickered with a gleam of light.
"Elder Zhang, should we inform the sect master about this matter and wait for him to come and help?"
Su Yuan's voice suddenly appeared in Li Yan's mind.
Li Yan still didn't answer, and everyone's eyes were on him.
After pausing for a few more breaths, Li Yan raised his head again and looked at Jiao Wuxing.
"I agree to your request! When??"
As long as this matter is not resolved, the other party will definitely continue to provoke us and will definitely come to us again.
This matter was unavoidable, and Li Yan needed to constantly recall the information about the "Ghost Dragon Clan" in his mind. After repeated considerations, he finally made a decision.
When Jiao Wuxing saw that the other party actually agreed and did not put forward any other conditions, he was happy but also a little surprised.
In terms of the other party's true realm, it is not as good as mine.
"Does Zhang Ming really think that just because he got an advantage, he thinks that this is all his strength is?"
"tomorrow!"
He quickly gave Li Yan the answer.
"Elder, they definitely won't be Jiao Wuxing coming alone..."
"Elder Zhang..."
The exclamations of Su Yuan and Xie Tongyi came directly from behind. These two had been here for a long time and had a deeper understanding of the character of the "Ghost Dragon Clan".
Hearing the word "tomorrow" from Elder Zhang's mouth, the two were shocked.
The other sect is only a few thousand miles away from here. After we send the message back, they may send out all their experts tomorrow morning.
However, his own sect is a full 80,000 miles away from here. Even if there is a way to immediately transmit this news back to the sect, the sect master and his men are not Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if they are exhausted to death, it is impossible for them to fly here in more than one night.
Doesn't this mean that Elder Zhang will have to face the powerful enemy of the "Ghost Dragon Clan" alone? Don't be fooled by Jiao Wuxing's beautiful words, these foreign cultivators are good at going back on their words.
Su Yuan and the other two even thought that Elder Zhang Ming did not carefully read the information they provided. Could it be that he thought that there was only this one Jindan cultivator in the other party's sect
In addition to another late Jindan stage cultivator from the "Ghost Dragon Clan", even the great elder from the False Infant stage might show up.
Although they had just witnessed the bravery of Elder Zhang, in their opinion, it was also the result of catching the enemy off guard.
If a real fight breaks out, Elder Zhang may not be able to defeat Jiao Wuxing.
But before Su Yuan and the other man could finish their words, Li Yan had already slightly turned his head to glance at them. His eyes were extremely cold and contained a strong warning.
This made Su Yuan and the other man swallow back their half-finished words.
The two of them looked at each other and saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes. This Elder Zhang was really extremely strong.
Such a result might cause Su Yuan to lose everything he had worked so hard to achieve.
Master Wanxiang frowned when he heard this. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with him at all, but he had a good impression of Zhang Ming.
As they were both human cultivators in the Lost Continent, he had to give some reminders.
"Friend Zhang, could it be that the Star Moth Sect Master is also in the Holy Demon City?"
