Chapter 640: Tianmo City
The black and white mass of Qi in Zhang Nuo's palm rapidly condensed into the shape of a Taiji Diagram, and without a moment's hesitation, he flipped his hand and pressed it onto the top of the 'Black Lightning Cloud-Spraying Beast's' head!
Boom!
A loud noise erupted as Zhang Nuo pressed his palm down! This was the first time Zhang Nuo had used the power of Yin and Yang Qi to attack; the 'Black Lightning Cloud-Spraying Beast' beneath him instantly turned into a rain of blood. Even with a physical body as formidable as this beast's, it was unable to withstand a single strike of the Yin and Yang Qi!
The falling rain of blood landed on the sea surface, turning a large area of the surrounding seawater red. At this moment, however, Zhang Nuo was clutching a beast core that flickered with black lightning in his palm!
This beast core belonged to the 'Black Lightning Cloud-Spraying Beast'. With this core, he would effectively possess the 'Black Fiend Demon Lightning'! If he spent time refining this core, he would gain an additional Lightning Spirit Root in his body!
Because the 'Black Lightning Cloud-Spraying Beast' had been killed, the surrounding sea beasts became restless once again! From afar, Zhang Nuo heard countless roars. He shivered; facing so many sea beasts, Zhang Nuo still felt lingering fear. He put away the beast core, retracted all his divine abilities, and transformed directly into a streak of light, charging out of the Demon Thunder Sea!
Several years later, Zhang Nuo finally emerged from the Demon Thunder Sea. He looked back at the path he had come from and saw countless sea beasts still following behind. These beasts roared and waved all sorts of tentacles, but once they reached the shore, they could only watch Zhang Nuo's departing figure and howl!
They were overlords in the sea, but on land, they were completely useless!
Taking a Jade Slip from his robes, Zhang Nuo submerged his Divine Sense into it. It was a map of the Demon Realm. After confirming his location, Zhang Nuo's escape light rose, and he flew toward the nearest city, Tianmo City!
Tianmo City, as one of the major cities of the Demon Realm, had a history of nearly ten thousand years. After completing his primary mission, Zhang Nuo planned to buy some things in the city before finding a way to leave the Demon Realm!
The space rift that had been forcibly torn open when Jiufang Yi sent him over could last for several hundred years. However, he would not have an Integration Stage cultivator to escort him on the return trip; Zhang Nuo would have to rely on his own strength to break through the blockade of the space storm and return to the Immortal Domain!
Several years later, Zhang Nuo appeared in Tianmo City. Like the other major cities in the Demon Realm, this Tianmo City was extremely vast, covering an area of ten thousand miles. Cultivators in the city were endless. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Nuo suppressed his cultivation to the Integration Early Stage!
Walking on the street, his gaze constantly observed the surrounding shops. When he neared the center of the city, Zhang Nuo saw a large shop named Xiao Mo Pavilion. The flow of customers inside was high, and the cultivators coming and going were of no low cultivation. After a moment's thought, he walked inside!
As soon as he entered the shop, he saw dozens of cultivators gathered in front of the counters, with several demonic cultivator clerks busy at work!
Standing in place, he took a look. Before Zhang Nuo could make a move, a Spirit Severing Stage demonic cultivator immediately came before him! This person was over fifty years old, had short gray hair, and wore a gold ring on his ear! His appearance was somewhat fierce!
"This senior, may I ask what you wish to purchase at the Xiao Mo Pavilion?"
Seeing that Zhang Nuo's cultivation was not weak, the gray-haired man immediately stepped forward to greet him. Glancing at this person, it was clear he was the shop's greeter!
"I have no specific purpose, I am just looking!"
After giving a simple reply, Zhang Nuo cast his gaze back toward the surrounding counters!
"Oh! How could the things the senior needs not be here? If the senior is willing, please follow this junior upstairs!"
Zhang Nuo did not object; he simply nodded and followed the gray-haired man to the second floor!
As soon as they entered the second floor, they saw three cultivators at the Integration Stage sitting inside. Around each of the three stood a rather attractive female cultivator, who was talking incessantly to them!
Finding a chair on the second floor to sit down, the gray-haired man called over a female cultivator in red. She looked to be eighteen or nineteen, dressed quite revealingly, and possessed an innate alluring aura that made one's imagination run wild!
"It is truly rude of me to have kept you waiting, Senior!"
The red-clad girl pretended to be very familiar with Zhang Nuo and walked toward him with light, lotus-like steps! Her voice was like the singing of orioles and swallows, extremely pleasant to hear!
Zhang Nuo only glanced at the girl a few times before turning his head away!
"This senior needs some special items. Quickly bring out the most premium goods in our shop for the senior to choose from!"
Seeing that Zhang Nuo was not interested in beauty, the gray-haired man immediately gave the red-clad girl a look and said! The girl understood and hurriedly turned to walk toward the inner room!
Just as Zhang Nuo was waiting, he suddenly heard a man's angry roar coming from one of the rooms on the second floor!
"What is so great about your Xiao Mo Pavilion! Don't think that just because you have power, you can bully people! I'm not selling this thing anymore!"
Hearing this, the cultivators in the second-floor hall all cast their gazes toward the source of the sound, which appeared to be a place specifically for high-level cultivators to sell items! From the words just spoken, it was not hard to hear that this Xiao Mo Pavilion shop had intentions of forced buying, but the price had not been agreed upon!
The other few cultivators just sneered and didn't take it to heart. After all, in Tianmo City, the Xiao Mo Pavilion had connections with the City Lord, and thirty percent of the shop's income flowed into the City Lord's pockets, so even if they did some forced buying and selling, the City Lord of Tianmo City would turn a blind eye!
Others didn't pay attention, but Zhang Nuo frowned. This voice was so familiar; it felt like Baji Laomo's! However, there was a strong Restriction around the room, and his Divine Sense could not penetrate it at all!
Just as Zhang Nuo was suspicious, a violent voice sounded from the room again!
"What, you still want to rob me in broad daylight? I'll tell you, even if you offered a sky-high price, I wouldn't sell it!"
After speaking, it seemed a struggle broke out inside the room! Zhang Nuo's brows furrowed tightly. This time, he could assert that the cultivator inside was indeed Baji Laomo!
After parting ways with Baji Laomo years ago, he hadn't expected to meet him today in Tianmo City. Since it was the old demon, Zhang Nuo could not sit idly by. Even in the Demon Realm, with his cultivation, if he wanted to escape, it should be no problem!
Just as Zhang Nuo stood up, a loud explosion suddenly erupted from the room. With a boom, the wall on one side of the room was shattered! A person was blasted directly into the hall!
That person was wrapped in a mass of Demonic Qi. After landing, he rolled and stood up, with a faint trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!
Who else could it be but Baji Laomo? Only, Baji was in a sorry state now; his clothes were more than half shredded, and he looked extremely disheveled!
"Baji! Although you were once famous in the Demon Realm, times have changed. Your cultivation has dropped back to the Integration Stage. Even if your physical body is strong, you are definitely no match for me, Xu!"
At this moment, a man in gray robes walked out from the shattered wall of the room. This person was bald, and a black Fowen the size of a palm was engraved on his head. A not-so-weak power emanated from this Fowen. Judging by his cultivation, he already had the strength of the Refining Void Stage!
After being blasted out by this person, Baji Laomo was clearly unconvinced. Just as he was about to unlock his Magic Meridian to fight this person to the end, a palm suddenly patted his shoulder lightly. This made Baji gasp; someone had gotten close to him, and he hadn't felt a thing. If the other party were an enemy, he would likely have been dead long ago!
Hurriedly turning his head, what appeared in Baji's eyes was a young man in green robes, looking at him with a smile!
"Haha! Kid Zhang, how is it you?"
The old demon felt a burst of wild joy in his heart. He had seen Zhang Nuo's divine abilities back then; if he were willing to make a move today, the man surnamed Xu before them would certainly be no match!
"It seems you aren't doing so well yourself? A character like this has bullied his way onto your head?"
Zhang Nuo's tone turned cold, his gaze merely sweeping over the gray-robed man as he said disdainfully.
"Sigh! There's no help for it; when a tiger falls to the plains, it is bullied by dogs. If I still had my original cultivation, ten of these types wouldn't be my match!"
Sighing lightly, Baji Laomo said helplessly. The two of them sang in harmony, which was quite natural, leaving the surrounding cultivators dumbfounded. The man surnamed Xu was named Xu Zhiyuan, an auctioneer in the Xiao Mo Pavilion. In terms of cultivation, he was not a weak existence in the shop!
They hadn't expected that two guys at the Integration Stage would actually start insulting Xu Zhiyuan in front of everyone; they were simply courting death!
"Who are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost, or else today I, Xu, will execute you along with him!"
Although there was anger in his heart, seeing Zhang Nuo's appearance, he seemed like someone with a significant background, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. Xu Zhiyuan roared loudly, wanting to use the pressure of a Refining Void Stage cultivator to scare him away!
Because Zhang Nuo had hidden his cultivation before entering the city, he now appeared to be a cultivator at the Integration Early Stage!
"What kind of background does this guy have, why is he more arrogant than a mangy dog?"
Zhang Nuo acted as if he hadn't heard Xu Zhiyuan's words, turning back to ask Baji Laomo.
"He is called Xu Zhiyuan, an auctioneer in the Xiao Mo Pavilion. Relying on his cultivation strength, he often does things like forced buying and selling. I didn't expect him to bully me today!"
The crowd was stunned once again; Zhang Nuo and Baji Laomo completely ignored Xu Zhiyuan's existence and chatted away on their own!
How could Xu Zhiyuan step down from this! In a fit of rage, Xu Zhiyuan moved, the black Fowen on his head flashed with Demonic Qi, and a large hand reached toward Zhang Nuo's shoulder!
