Li Sisui's expression was complicated. Seeing this, Meiji still covered her mouth and chuckled, but the cold light that flashed in her eyes made those who looked at her feel a chill. Clearly, she was very concerned about the helpless situation of the demon race above her!
"Then were those magical artifacts I paid when I came in just a formality?"
Li Sisui's feelings were complicated, but he was still resentful about the large number of magical artifacts he had thrown away earlier. He originally thought that 100,000 coins would be enough for him to squander for a while, but he never expected that he would even be able to enter Qingyuan Tower...
"Oh, you mean those junk? They're of no use to my demon race. They all benefited the Lord of Broken Halberd City. When you're living under someone else's roof, you have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, how could my race stay here for so long and wait for the right opportunity!"
Li Si nodded silently, finally understanding. Those magical artifacts, whether from cultivators or demonic cultivators, were utterly useless to the demon race. Thanks to their innate bloodline, the most powerful magical artifacts of the demon race were nothing more than their own flesh and blood. Few demons would abandon their roots and pursue magical artifacts and cultivation techniques like ordinary cultivators...
"This demonic cultivator next to the Sword God is quite interesting. To be able to refine a demonic root with such cultivation level, if it weren't for the old guy behind him, he must be a person of unparalleled talent. Moreover, he is so beautiful, not inferior to my clan. It's really rare!"
Meiji's eyes sparkled, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly as she casually surveyed Leng Rushuang, whose face was veiled in red gauze. Yet, in her words, she revealed Leng Rushuang's true nature, forcing the usually indifferent Leng Rushuang to become wary and filled with hostility towards the beautiful woman before her, whose appearance was comparable to her own!
Perhaps sensing Leng Rushuang's hostility, Meiji gave her a meaningful glance, then turned and said:
"What brings the Sword God here? Could it be for her?"
As she spoke, Meiji glanced at Leng Rushuang, who was glaring at her with hostility. Li Sisui gave an awkward laugh and hurriedly explained:
"It was just on the way, not my main purpose. But if the city lord knew the details, that would be even better. After all, that old guy still owes me a lot. If I can see him again, I will definitely make him pay back double!"
Before Li Sisui could finish explaining, Leng Rushuang suddenly spoke up:
"How could mere demons know about the entrance to Demon Mountain?"
Leng Rushuang is like that; she can always see through the dazzling appearances to the essence of things, and then get straight to the point, clean and efficient, without any hesitation. In the eyes of cultivators, whether one cultivates immortality or demonic arts, everyone is ultimately human, just with different paths...
But it's different when facing demons. As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. In the eyes of cultivators, although demons have powerful bodies, they squander their talents. Most of them are willing to submit to their physical instincts and have no spirituality whatsoever. Most demons will inevitably end up as mounts or pets for cultivators, wasting the talents bestowed upon them by heaven. If such heaven-defying bloodline talents were in the hands of cultivators, what would the world be like now? It's almost unimaginable!
Therefore, while human cultivators envy the talents of the demon race, they also instinctively reject and resist them, always feeling that they are superior. In the eyes of these cultivators, those who know the entrance to Demon Mountain must also be cultivators, so how could they be known by those demons who act on instinct?
Mei Ji's smile faded, her expression turned cold, and a hint of ferocity finally appeared between her brows. The true nature of the demon city lord was finally revealed. As soon as Leng Rushuang finished speaking, the surrounding air instantly froze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Li Sisui also seemed to be stimulated by something, and his Slow Sword Domain automatically activated, protecting him. Of course, under Li Sisui's will, the Slow Sword Domain also protected Leng Rushuang...
Just when everyone thought that Meiji would fly into a rage and go on a killing spree, she instantly smiled sweetly, like a gentle spring breeze, and sneered:
"Little girl, you're still too green to try and provoke me, hmph! Now that we've come this far, let's cut to the chase and be frank. Whether it works out or not, we need a straight answer!"
Meiji's smile gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression as she stared at Li Sisui and said:
"But before you know all this, you must understand one thing: once you hear what happens next, you will be on the opposite side of the Lord of Broken Halberd City. Not only what is right now, but also everything that is about to be said, the Lord of Broken Halberd City will be completely unaware of. You must be prepared for this!"
Upon hearing this, Li Sisui didn't even hesitate before sneering:
"We're all thousand-year-old demons, what are you doing playing these ghost stories? Just say what you have to say, or I'm afraid that if you don't, I'll be on the opposite side from the Lord of Broken Halberd City, whom I've never met before!"
Meiji's expression shifted, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. This person before her was meticulous and could not be fooled by a few flattering words. From the moment Uncle Hei welcomed them, they had been bound to the same chariot as the demon race. If the city lord of Zheji City were to know that Qingyuan Tower had such a secret, it would be impossible to explain it in just a few words!
"Since the Sword God is so wise, I won't waste any more words. You must have come here for the entrance to Demon Mountain. Unfortunately, I have some experience with Demon Mountain, having had the privilege of traveling there once. No one on this Asura Ridge knows Demon Mountain better than me. You've come to the right place, hmph!"
Li Sisui's expression brightened; this time, it really worked out!
"An eye for an eye. You've done our demon race a favor, and in return, I can take you to the entrance of Demon Mountain. If necessary, I can even escort you into Demon Mountain. But all of this is contingent on you agreeing to my conditions and helping our race!"
"I can help, but you have to explain exactly what it is. I can't expect you to sell me out and then I'll count the money for you, can I?"
