Chapter 684: There is always a higher pit
The light of the teleportation array that lit up and disappeared attracted Qing Yuanhu's attention.
He shook his head: "One link after another, exquisite."
Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing watched Ye Xiaoman successfully leave with the Water Spirit Pearl, and the biggest stone in their hearts was finally put down.
Now we can deal with the aftermath calmly.
The merchants of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce were smart in business, but their cultivation was limited. They could only rely on high-level magic weapons and powerful attack talismans that could be used to strike with full force to survive. However, activating magic weapons and talismans required a large amount of spiritual energy.
They are currently betting that the Chamber of Commerce’s guards will arrive soon, or that their spiritual energy will be exhausted and they will become prisoners of the demon clan.
But with the Ghost Lord and the Three Haos of Dongyuan holding them back outside, their situation is quite bleak.
The bosses were all a group of smart people. They calculated that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so they immediately used their power to call for reinforcements and retreated towards the door while fighting.
Sikong Qing stood aside and watched the fight, his scolding like a sweet and poisonous red pepper, "A bunch of idiots. Prophet is no more than this."
He had no intention of fighting for a long time. His goal had been achieved. He just wanted to wait until Ye Xiaoman could get home safely, and then he would call off the battle, just in time to catch up with Ye Xiaoman's breakthrough.
After Ye Xiaoman successfully built her foundation and everyone else was tired and went to bed, he would rush to the early morning market before dawn to buy the best quality meat and vegetables so that Ye Xiaoman could have a good meal as soon as she opened her eyes. He thought the vegetables bought by others were not as good as the ones he picked himself.
He felt happy when he thought of Ye Xiaoman burying her face in the big bowl like a little pig and cat and eating the food he cooked.
When Sikong Qing was thinking about how to take credit, a cold wind blew around him, blowing the beads on his earrings. He looked up and found that Xiao Chu beside him had disappeared.
Xiao Chujing said nothing, attacked fiercely, and suddenly flew into the battlefield.
Qin Xingshi, Wu Shisan Niang and Tian Zongheng were overjoyed that our allies finally came to support us.
Xiao Chujing can take on the role of the Grand Court Official to protect the emperor, separate the three of them from Qing Yuanhu, and protect them from evacuating from the scene.
The three of them knew very well that the demons were in the same group as them. Although the demons attacked them, they treated Qing Yuanhu and them differently, and they left room for attack.
The three of them were not afraid that Si Kong Qing would take the opportunity to silence them. The Chamber of Commerce would definitely launch an investigation into today's accident, and Ye Xiaoman still had to rely on them to help get out.
Therefore, when Xiao Chujing flew towards them, they were not prepared at all until Xiao Chujing's sword attacked Qin Xingshi and the shadow under his feet grabbed Wu Shisan Niang as if it had life.
Wu Shisan Niang and Qin Xingshi were at a loss under the attack of the demons, and were defeated by Xiao Chujing in one blow.
Qin Xingshi had Xiao Chujing's magic sword on his neck and hastily raised his hands in surrender.
Wu Shisan Niang was tied up with a rope.
Tian Zongheng, who was infected with the poisonous insect, stood there in amazement.
At this moment, Qing Yuanhu threw down a late Nascent Soul attack talisman, and with the aftermath of the explosion, he rushed towards the big hole in the wall that was knocked open by the monster like a glowing gold ingot, and escaped.
The demons immediately separated a group of people to chase him.
Only Xiao Chujing, Sikong Qing and the three bosses were left at the scene. They were all their own people, so the demons stopped attacking.
Wu Shisanniang and Qin Xingshi were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly said, "Master Xiao, there must be some misunderstanding!"
They cried out loudly for justice, and occasionally interspersed threats in their words, reminding Xiao Chujing that keeping them would be of great use.
"I wronged you?"
Xiao Chujing smiled sweetly, and pressed the sword blade into the side of Qin Xingshi's neck. Blood flowed down. Qin Xingshi smelled the scent of his own blood, and his legs suddenly went limp.
Xiao Chujing killed a chicken to scare Wu Shisanniang, "Mr. Wu, you really disappoint me."
Sikong Qing didn't understand why Xiao Chujing suddenly developed rabies, but he didn't care.
He didn't care who Xiao Chujing killed or how everything went wrong. If Ye Xiaoman was implicated by Xiao Chujing and ended up on the wanted list of Huantian Chamber of Commerce, he would take the opportunity to take her back to the Demon Realm.
So he stood there bored, playing with a knife and deducing new recipes in his mind.
Seeing that the patriarch had no orders, the demons silently surrounded the outer circle.
A white cat walked in quietly from outside the door. It completed the task assigned by Ye Xiaoman, and its fluffy fur was stained with some gray and black.
The cat's eyes scanned around but couldn't find Ye Xiaoman. Finally, its gaze fell on the teleportation array on the ground that had been used, and a look of understanding flashed in its eyes.
The white cat found a clean, high place to stay. He heard Wu Shisan Niang arguing, "I helped you exchange the Water Spirit Pearl. I also gave the treasure to Fairy Ye to take away. I did everything I should do."
Xiao Chujing exposed her lie, "But Qing Yuanhu is here. If it weren't for the accident just now, Junior Sister and I would have been thrown into the death cell of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce."
"By then, the treasures we have obtained will be taken away and become evidence of the theft."
Xiao Chujing's smile deepened.
"From now on, we will be prisoners and lose all bargaining power. In order to regain our freedom, Junior Sister will be forced to sacrifice the demon beast, and I will obediently hand over the second verse of the Chongyang Bone Tempering Art."
Wu Shisan Niang retorted, "Xiao Xianchang, are you saying that Qing Yuanhu and I are teaming up to blackmail you? You're putting too much stock in his thinking. Qing Yuanhu and I are sworn enemies. How could I possibly cooperate with him?"
Xiao Chujing said, "For businessmen, there are no enemies in the world, only eternal interests. Wouldn't it be the best strategy for the two on duty with the highest probability of winning to form a secret alliance among the ten on-duty bosses?"
Tian Zongheng and Qin Xingshi looked at Wu Shisan Niang with fear.
"You're not really forming an alliance with Qing Yuanhu, are you? Think about it, it's a good move. You and Qing Yuanhu are the two most likely to win. You two can protect each other, and healthy competition is better than both sides suffering losses. With a 50% chance of winning each, 5 plus 5, doesn't that mean you have a 100% chance of winning the position of president?"
"In the end, no matter who becomes the president, the other will also be a major contributor. There is no risk of being wiped out for standing on the wrong side."
"You can guess whatever you want."
Wu Shisan Niang said indifferently, "Does the truth really matter? Fairy Ye has already gotten what she wished for. And Immortal Xiao, your most important priority right now is paying me... You don't want endless trouble, do you?"
Xiao Chujing moved his sword away from Qin Xingshi's body and calmly pressed it against Wu Shisanniang's neck.
He seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Mr. Wu has a backup plan, and so do I."
He said very apologetically: "To be honest, I changed the order of some of the Chongyang Bone Strengthening Techniques I gave you..."
Wu Shisanniang's expression changed. Unlike when she pretended to be Ye Xiaoman's ally, this time her face was truly downcast. "How dare you play tricks on me! Impossible! I've practiced the technique, and everything is normal..."
Wu Shisan Niang's words came to an abrupt halt. After she received the goods, she had to run the skills herself to check the authenticity of the skills. So far, she has happily run them hundreds of times.
