Chapter 294 Ghost Slave
However, Tian Yao and Li Yuan are on the same front.
Seeing that Tian Yao's emotions were slightly fluctuating, he hurried forward.
"How much is this ghost slave?"
Li Yuan pointed at a ghost slave that looked like a wild beast and asked the stall owner softly.
The stall owner was a corpse with half of his face rotted away, and he turned around and gave a ferocious smile.
"This is the ghost slave that the faceless weirdo personally salvaged."
"The traces are fresh, the soul light is abundant..."
"It will cost three thousand Ming Yuan."
The stall owner held out three rotten fingers.
Li Yuan nodded:
"I want it."
He waved his hand and took out three thousand Ming Yuan.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner saw that Li Yuan was generous and directly raised the price.
"Oops, I almost missed it..."
"There is still some light in this ghost slave's eyes. He is a rare ghost slave with some instinctive awareness."
"There are fewer and fewer ghost slaves like this. It will cost 10,000 ghost yuan!"
The stall owner grinned, and his half-rotten face looked a little scary.
Li Yuan frowned, but didn't bother with this little kid.
"Ten thousand is ten thousand, take it."
Li Yuan took out 10,000 Ming Yuan.
As the saying goes, it is easy to invite the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts.
Seeing that Li Yuan did not hesitate, the corpse ghost stall owner actually wanted to raise the price.
"Ten thousand is just the price of the ghost slave itself."
"Well... this ghost slave was fished out from the depths of the Forgotten River. There must be some secrets in it..."
"This secret is also worth a lot of money..."
The ghoul stall owner rubbed his rotten fingers.
Li Yuan stared at him with an unhappy look on his face, and did not speak for a long time.
Price is not a problem, but it is so unreasonable that it makes people angry.
In his arms, the scales emitted a voice that the Heavenly Demon could not hold back.
"This rule of raising the price seems to have been pioneered by me when I was wandering in the underworld..."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes secretly.
'Wow, that boomerang!'
Tian Yao was a little embarrassed: "Back then, it was indeed a bit of a mess..."
Li Yuan suppressed his anger and said to the stall owner in a deep voice:
"Ten thousand underworld yuan, it's up to you whether you sell it or not!"
"The prices are sky-high...be careful or you won't be able to get out of this street!"
A trace of immortal light surged from his body, emitting a terrifying aura.
The corpse ghost stall owner was shocked: "Immortal God!"
"Please spare my life, Immortal God! I was ignorant and too greedy. I know my sins!"
The corpse ghost immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yuan to apologize.
When the ghosts around saw this, they quickly avoided it, terrified.
The system of the underworld is extremely strict, even cruel.
If you mess with the immortals or the ghosts in the underworld, it would be a life-threatening matter.
They have all died once and dare not bury their own souls.
Li Yuan was too lazy to get entangled with such a little ghost. He threw down 10,000 Ming Yuan, waved his sleeves, and took the beast-like ghost slave away.
The voice of the celestial demon came from the scales:
"Tsk tsk... Even though it's that old man's money, it's still a bit of a loss..."
"If it were me, I would have killed that little corpse ghost directly."
Li Yuan was helpless:
"Just now, the ghost officials in the city have secretly noticed this matter."
"That corpse ghost can set up a stall in the middle of the street, so I guess there must be some connections behind it."
"Since you are planning to reform the underworld, it is better not to cause any trouble or offend those ghost officials in the underworld."
"Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of us, I'm afraid the resistance will be even greater."
The demon chuckled:
"You are cautious, but you lack some blood."
"With the Pluto's Order, can't we just rush through?"
Li Yuan walked in Fengdu City, smiling bitterly.
"Brother, you really want me to be a 'lone minister'!"
"I'm timid, so I'd better find the direction first!"
The demon 'sneered':
"Yes, yes, you are timid."
"In less than two hundred years since becoming a god, he has kidnapped an entire mortal kingdom and killed more than a dozen immortal gods."
"You're still taking advantage of the loopholes in the way of heaven... Even your Anyue country down the mountain, which was founded less than 30 years ago, is preparing to unify the world!"
Obviously, Tian Yao already knew Li Yuan's story from Zheng Tai Biao's perspective.
Li Yuan: “Ah, this!”
The two of them secretly quarreled and chatted all the way to the city center.
Li Yuan searched for a while and stayed in a ghost inn in Fengdu City.
Then, before he even reached the room, he was asked to leave by the local ghost officer.
"Oh my - why did my immortal friend sit down in the inn run by the little ghost? If this gets out, won't the other ghost officials laugh at me..."
"The city is busy with affairs, and I was negligent. Don't blame me...don't blame me!"
The ghost official of Fengdu City was very polite and enthusiastic, and invited Li Yuan into the government office in the city.
As a show of hospitality, they specially found a mansion with little yin energy and invited Li Yuan to stay there.
Hundreds of little ghost servants were sent to serve Li Yuan, the "immortal from heaven".
After some polite exchanges and some spiritual objects, they sent the Fengdu Ghost Officer away.
Li Yuan also asked the little servants to wait in the side house and rest on his own.
This is when things finally calmed down.
In the main room of the mansion, Li Yuan swept out a barrier of immortal power.
Then he waved his sleeves and released the ghost slave.
The blood-stained scales also flew out of Li Yuan's arms and circled in the air.
After looking at it for a while, Tian Yao came to a complicated conclusion.
"Brother Tianyao, you said this is the descendant of your old friend?"
Li Yuan looked at the confused soul in front of him and shook his head secretly.
The Forgetful River has erased all traces. The soul has long forgotten its past and only has instinctive consciousness left.
The Sky Demon sighed softly, and a voice came out from its scales:
"That clan has existed since the beginning of the universe, and its reputation is known throughout the three realms."
"What a glorious sight..."
"But, in the end, for the sake of the common people, I completed the great calamity and gave up the eternal path."
A star of light flew out from the scales, bringing with it a peaceful and auspicious aura, and touched the forehead of the confused ghost slave.
This auspicious aura does not belong to the celestial demon itself.
Obviously, the celestial demon also wanted to use this auspicious aura to stimulate and see if the soul that had already become a ghost slave could remember anything.
After the beast-like ghost slave came into contact with the starlight, he trembled a few times, and suddenly his eyes turned red and he became extremely excited.
"You're here...why did you come just now!"
"It's still alive, save it, save it!!"
"Our entire clan must survive this catastrophe. We shouldn't be exterminated... We shouldn't be exterminated!!!"
The beast's soul became extremely agitated and hysterical.
But after a flash of inspiration, he instantly returned to his confused state.
His eyes were hazy and he was unconscious.
Li Yuan frowned and looked at him carefully.
But the celestial demon remained silent for a long time.
"I lost in the end, and broke the old covenant..."
"It thought I was here, but I... hehe..."
Tian Yao's voice was somewhat self-deprecating, with a hint of sadness and helplessness.
Li Yuan shook his head lightly, also guessing it.
It is estimated that this was another major event in ancient times.
However, as time passes, those things that once carried the regrets and touching moments of an era are gone.
Eventually it was buried in the years, leaving only a few traces.
Tian Yao muttered to himself for a while.
"The spirit of this little beast said it is still alive..."
"Is this "it" the old friend I recognize?"
"No, no, my old friend died a long time ago. Not even a trace of his death remains..."
Tian Yao's emotions fluctuated a little.
Obviously, the incident with the old friend reminded it of some painful memories, and it became irritable.
Li Yuan listened quietly to Tian Yao's mumbling, and finally couldn't help but ask softly.
"What exactly is this Tianjie clan?"
The celestial demon hesitated for a long time before responding.
"Qilin."
