Chapter 87: Yingmo Cheng

Looking up at the towering city wall that stood a thousand units of length high directly in front of him, Xiao Han's mouth hung open involuntarily. He turned his head to look at Thunder Spirit in a daze, the tremor in his eyes beyond measure. "Why is there such a magnificent city here?"

A city of this scale would be a grand sight even in the Central Plains, but appearing in a barren place like the Sealed World, it felt completely incongruous.

"Hehe..." Thunder Spirit gave a cold laugh. "I don't know."

He couldn't help but be a bit cheeky!

"Remember, hide your identity!" Seeing that Xiao Han seemed to have the intention of making a move again, Thunder Spirit panicked for a moment and hurriedly said.

"Explain." Xiao Han was expressionless. If not for the worry that hitting someone now would easily expose their identities, he would definitely have let him experience a 'frozen package'. It was absolutely not for the sake of some mere Dou Sheng Elder, absolutely not!

"This seems to be a unique product of the Sealed World..." Recalling the shock he felt when he first saw it, Thunder Spirit's thoughts could not help but drift away.

He lifted his foot and stepped on the black soil beneath him, saying with quite a melancholic air: "This Sealed World was actually separated from the land of the Dou Qi Continent."

"Back then, due to the pollution of the Evil Qi, this land could not allow the creatures of the Dou Qi Continent to survive at all. To prevent the spread of the Evil Qi, the experts of that time sealed up this polluted land along with all those alien races."

At the mention of this experience, even though he had appeared later and was not a witness, the inherited memories within his body still made him furious.

However, he immediately suppressed his negative emotions and then calmly said: "Perhaps some kind of mutation occurred, and the Evil Qi and this land underwent some strange changes."

"This led to the world producing a unique ore—Moyuan Stone. This stone is extremely hard; I tried it back then, and it takes at least the power of a Dou Zong expert to forcibly break it."

"Yet, it is precisely such a precious material that can be seen everywhere in this world..."

As his voice fell, a thick sense of jealousy could not help but appear on Thunder Spirit's face.

"Then why can it be used to build city walls? Are their experts that idle?" Xiao Han pointed at the behemoth and asked in confusion, since only Dou Zong experts could process these Moyuan Stones.

For such a city wall, the stone consumed would be massive; where would they get so many experts to process it?

"Although Moyuan Stone is extremely difficult to process, it has a regular shape. As long as you trim the scraps a little, it can be used directly, and this... is the reason it can be used to build a city."

Thunder Spirit understood and explained to Xiao Han.

"However, once you enter the city, you will discover that it is truly another world entirely..."

On the bustling main street, many non-humanoid creatures looked with disdain at a certain "bumpkin" who had just entered the city.

It was none other than the freshly minted Xiao-something. At this moment, Xiao Han was wandering around the city, going up to observe every kind of stall and shop, clicking his tongue in wonder from time to time. He was the spitting image of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden!

"Hey," Thunder Spirit lowered his head and subconsciously tugged at Xiao Han's sleeve. The gazes filling the street and the hundred-percent turnover rate made him feel utterly embarrassed.

He couldn't help but warn him: "That's enough out of you! Why are you acting like you've never seen anything before?"

"What do you know?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Thunder Spirit. These things were all specialties of the Sealed World; the Central Plains really didn't have anything like them.

Although the cultivation system was completely different, the things here were not worthless. In the time he had just been observing, many good items had caught his eye, making him quite tempted.

As for the piercing gazes filling the street, Xiao Han indicated that they were nothing; no one knew him anyway.

Subsequently, Xiao Han quietly sent a message to Thunder Spirit again: "Do you have any currency from here?"

"Currency?" Thunder Spirit looked at Xiao Han strangely. Could this guy really be interested in the things here?

"No, why would I want that stuff!" However, Thunder Spirit still shook his head. What he said was indeed the truth; with Thunder Spirit's strength, there was basically nothing here he could use.

Furthermore, his nature was completely at odds with Evil Qi; how brain-dead would he have to be to take a fancy to these crooked melons and cracked dates?

"Useless!" Xiao Han said dismissively.

"..."

If I could beat you, I would definitely make you pay, you dog.

"Why do you want to spend money?" Thunder Spirit was puzzled. With the strength of the two of them, even if they robbed people in public, no one would be able to find out.

Even if they did find out, so what? Would they mobilize all their forces to surround and kill the two of them just for these few things?

"Of course it's..." Xiao Han suddenly froze. He had been about to say he was buying things. He suddenly realized that this place didn't seem to be a place like the Central Plains. With this group of alien races, it seemed there was no psychological burden to robbing them in the street, right?

Although Xiao Han did not like bullying the weak, this category did not include that trash from the Outer Realm Evil Clan. With the life-and-death feud between the two worlds, Xiao Han did not want to be a saint who pitied the world.

"You're right!" Xiao Han came back to his senses and said in agreement to Thunder Spirit.

At the same time, he silently calculated in his heart that once he finished his mission, he must have a good looting spree here; it could be considered making use of waste. Thinking of how he had cultivated for so many years, he had truly never done any evil deeds like bullying the market.

"How do we do it?" Thunder Spirit asked. "Do we just kill that Shadow Demon Commander directly?"

Xiao Han and Thunder Spirit had not come to Yingmo Cheng for a vacation; their target was the boss of this place—the Shadow Demon Commander, who had the strength of a Two-Star Dou Sheng.

However, Thunder Spirit and Xiao Han had agreed in advance that everything would be left to the latter, which was why he asked this question.

"All you know is fighting and killing." Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Thunder Spirit with a look one might give a mentally disabled person, and asked the fatal question: "Do you know where that Shadow Demon Commander is? If the Shadow Demon Commander suddenly dies, what if it alerts the other Demon Commanders and that Demon King?"

"Besides, let me ask you..." Xiao Han said, "How do you plan to finish off that dying Demon King? With the strength of the two of us, we aren't even a side dish to them."

"Mm-hmm..." Thunder Spirit nodded repeatedly, indicating that you were right. "Then how should we deal with this guy?"

"I ask you, how effective is your disguise?" Xiao Han's face curled into an evil, charming smile, one that was somewhat sinister.

"That is naturally no problem." Hearing this, Thunder Spirit gave his word repeatedly. As if to corroborate his words, he revealed another secret: "Back then, I even disguised myself as an unfamiliar alien to ambush other Demon Commanders, and I was never discovered."

"Very good." Xiao Han only pondered for a moment, and a dog-eat-dog plan was born in his mind.
