Lan Hua looked at Zi Yue, her eyes full of questions.
Zi Yue turned her pretty face away and snorted, "Little Hua, I don't know where the Hundred Demon Scroll went either, I'm wondering about it too!"
Lan Hua turned around and muttered, "If you don't know, then who does?"
Zi Yue turned around abruptly, her face instantly turning cold. "Xiao Hua Zi, what did you say? Say it again!"
Lan Hua shrank back. "It's nothing, I'll go check on Miss Yang!"
The two landed beside Yang Yuwei, leaving the eight clan leaders frantically searching for the Hundred Demon Scroll in mid-air, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Although Caiyun possessed the cultivation level of the Yuanxiang Realm, she had been ambushed by Lü Hao earlier, and her injuries had not yet healed.
Now, when Lu Hao comes after him again, he still can't escape the Lu family's assassination attempt.
The most terrifying aspect of archery is its ability to snipe, and the Lü family is also well-versed in this art.
Looking at the heavily injured Lü Hao, who had already been taken away by the Spirit Clan, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't have many years left to live.
Caiyun, who had transformed into a seven-colored peacock, had a bloody mess on her chest. She flapped her wings slightly and then used them to stroke the cheeks of Yueya and Yang Yuwei.
He had already given most of his last words.
"Yuwei, Lingzhou is not your world. The outside world is. Don't come back."
As for Crescent Moon, take good care of your junior sister!
After uttering his last words, he fell completely silent.
Yang Yuwei and her fellow disciples cried so hard they almost fainted.
Lan Hua didn't know how to comfort her, so she gently touched her shoulder, said "Please accept my condolences," and then helped Zi Yue fly towards Bei Zhou.
As soon as she left the Lingzhou territory, Ziyue coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her face turned deathly pale again.
"Master, don't scare me!"
Lan Hua quickly took out a Heavenly Origin Fruit and gave it to her, which improved her complexion.
Zi Yue was already seriously injured, and it's already quite remarkable that she's been dragging this out for so many days.
"Xiao Hua Zi, I can barely fight anymore, I'll have to rely on you from now on!" Zi Yue said weakly.
Lan Hua nodded. "It seems that the trip to the demon black market is imminent!"
Baxia said, "Then let's go now, but I don't know how to get there!"
"Moon Gazing Mountain in the Southern Continent, there lies the entrance to the demon black market!"
Lan Hua's eyes lit up. "Brother Ba, let's go!"
"You're relying on me to carry you again!"
Baxia muttered something and carried the two of them away quickly.
Wangyue Mountain is located in the southwest of Nanzhou, only two thousand kilometers away from the Nalan family.
There are also many spirits in the mountains.
It is, in fact, the largest gathering place of the Spirit Race outside of the Spirit Continent.
However, the spirit race in Wangyue Mountain is more diverse and chaotic.
The competition inside is extremely fierce, and fights often break out.
Deep within Wangyue Mountain, there is a cave, with two Yuanxiang Realm experts guarding its entrance.
This cave is the entrance to the demon black market.
"Legend has it that the Demon Black Market was a small world created by the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor together, with the purpose of facilitating trade between demon cultivators and demon cultivators."
Zi Yue said calmly, her face still deathly pale.
"In this vast world, there are countless demon cultivators and evil cultivators. This demon black market has become a holy place for demons to barter."
It's chaotic in there. Once we find the Black Fox Heart, we'll leave immediately and avoid any conflict with the people inside!
Lan Hua nodded, "Understood!"
Upon arriving at the cave entrance, a tall figure stopped Lan Hua and Zi Yue.
"Humans? Not allowed in!"
The tall man's true form was a giant elephant.
Lan Hua clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I wish to enter the demon black market to conduct a transaction. Please allow me to pass!"
The tall man scoffed, "Do you even know the rules of the demon black market?"
After saying this, he stretched out a giant hand.
Lan Hua frowned slightly and looked at Zi Yue.
The latter laughed and said, "This brother just wants a small fee. Little Hua, do you still have any spirit essence left?"
Lan Hua took out four spirit essences.
Is that enough?
The giant elephant shook its head. "This is only enough for you!"
After saying that, he looked at Ziyue.
Lan Hua frowned, then took out four more and snorted, "Is that enough?"
The giant elephant smiled, weighed the eight spirit stones in its hand, and turned to give a slight nod to the person behind it.
The man spread his hands, and a silver light appeared at the cave entrance, revealing a passageway.
Lan Hua let out a soft breath.
Fortunately, he used the invisibility talisman in advance to hide Baxia's aura, otherwise he would have had to lose four spirit essences.
Upon entering the passage, silvery light flashed before my eyes, as if I were walking through a time tunnel.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lan Hua and Zi Yue suddenly found themselves in a vast space.
Within the space, demonic energy surged to the heavens.
It's impossible to distinguish between demonic energy and evil energy anymore.
The intense demonic aura made Lan Hua feel uncomfortable, as did Zi Yue, who covered her mouth and nose with her hand, looking disgusted.
"Xiao Hua, the demon black market is huge. The first floor is the demon trading area, and the second floor is the monster trading area. Let's go straight to the first floor!"
Lan Hua nodded and walked towards the first floor.
The first floor is very spacious, with many winding paths that, from a distance, resemble terraced fields.
On each path, there were many spirits, some in human form, some half-demon, and some who simply showed their true forms.
Zi Yue said, "This area is just a regular trading area, there's nothing good here, we need to go further in!"
After walking for a long time, the two arrived at a corridor-like passage.
Every few steps along the passageway, there was a stall with people hawking their wares.
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Master, judging from this, the demon black market isn't that big!"
"It's not as simple as you think. Deep within the demon black market, there are also trial grounds for demon cultivators and evil cultivators. It's huge."
This is merely a trading place. I've heard that the Demon Trial Grounds are inaccessible to those who aren't demon or monster cultivators; it's far more difficult to enter than the Demon Black Market!
Lan Hua nodded, then, seeing several forks in the road ahead, asked, "Master, what should we do? Which way should we take?"
"Go straight! We won't turn, that's our unspoken agreement!" Baxia said domineeringly.
Lan Hua directly struck Ba with a hammer.
"This isn't a challenge; we're searching for the Black Fox's Heart. Don't wander off!"
Zi Yue pondered for a moment, "It seems I should ask a human, no, I should ask a demon!"
"Alright!"
Lan Hua responded and approached a member of the Spirit Clan.
A strange look appeared in the man's eyes, and then he pointed in a direction for Lan Hua.
Lan Hua said, "At the first fork in the road on the right, there's a place selling Black Fox Hearts halfway there!"
Zi Yue nodded.
Sure enough, a man in black, exuding a strong demonic aura, was squatting halfway down the road, shouting that the Black Fox Heart was on clearance sale.
There was a cloth on the ground with three hearts on it, which were none other than the Black Fox Heart.
Lan Hua asked, "Is this Black Fox Heart genuine?"
The man in black laughed, "Genuine, no doubt about it!"
"Does it possess the heart of a two-thousand-year-old black fox?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the one on the far right.
"This is it! This black fox has lived for a full two thousand one hundred years!"
Lan Hua didn't quite understand and looked at Zi Yue, "Master, do you really think it's true?"
Zi Yue wasn't sure either, and frowned, saying, "Maybe!"
The man in black said solemnly, "Absolutely genuine!"
What's the price?
The man in black said, "That depends on what you can offer in exchange!"
Lan Hua summoned the spirit tortoise shell and asked, "How about this one?"
The man in black narrowed his eyes and said, "Although it's a good item, it's not worthy of my Black Fox Heart!"
Lan Hua then summoned the inner core of the Cloud Dragon. "How is it?"
The man in black said, "Give me the inner lining and the tortoise shell together, and the deal will be done!"
"Granted!"
The man in black was overjoyed and was about to make the deal when a voice came from behind him.
"Wait a minute!"
