512: Chapter 512 What a wonderful business environment!

"Wow, I really didn't expect the interior decoration to be this tacky. The aesthetics of the people in the Eastern Region really never fail to disappoint."

Zhou Yan walked through the corridor, and the moment he entered the main hall, he saw that statue floating right in the center.

This statue was projected, a huge, constantly rotating beckoning cat, holding a large gold ingot in its hand.

However, there were surprisingly many people here.

Excluding the white-clothed youth and his two attendants seen in the corner earlier, the vast majority of people here were low-level Cultivators.

Their cultivation levels mostly ranged from the Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As for that white-clothed person and his two attendants, they were likely the highest-cultivation people here besides Zhou Yan.

A Middle Stage Nascent Soul coupled with two Early Stage Nascent Souls, and judging by their roots, they were likely Demonic Cultivators. It was just unclear whether they were Loose Cultivators or belonged to a Sect.

"I knew you would come." Lv Yang suddenly darted to Zhou Yan's side. "Come, come, the dining area is over there. Let's chat while we eat."

Saying this, Lv Yang pulled Zhou Yan to find a sofa to sit on and pushed the food he had prepared earlier in front of him.

However, Zhou Yan had no appetite to eat.

Seeing that Zhou Yan did not touch the food, Lv Yang happily finished it all himself.

Just as Zhou Yan was thinking about doing something, a voice entered his mind.

"I know that something is wrong here, but there are some things that must be done."

Divine Sense transmission?

Zhou Yan subconsciously looked at Lv Yang.

"No need to panic, this is just a minor Divine Ability of the Buddhist Sect."

"People don't necessarily need cultivation to have magic power. By the same logic, Mortals don't necessarily cannot use Spells."

Zhou Yan did not make a scene, leaning back on the sofa chair, gradually relaxing his body, but in reality, he used his Divine Sense to communicate with him.

"What is wrong with you? The moment you came in, you acted like you were possessed. You walked straight in without saying a word, and no one could stop you."

Lv Yang was also shoveling food quickly, using the action to cover his movements.

"This place is very wrong. There must be demons and monsters in power."

"As a Disciple of the Buddhist Sect, I have no reason to stand by and watch people die, so I intend to see if I can deal with this place."

"In the Eastern Region, is it very strange for demons and monsters to be in power? If there are no demons and monsters in power, could it be the light of the Buddha shining everywhere?" Zhou Yan transmitted his voice.

"Besides, you should be able to tell that there aren't many humans in here, right?"

"Even for someone like me who doesn't practice the Dao and Buddhist Sects' methods, I can see the massive Karma on them."

"The one with the least Karma in here could be given a government position for free if they went to your Southern Desert. You're going to save this?"

The point was made very clearly. Everyone here was a Demonic Cultivator, so no matter how they died, it was just black-on-black crime. There was no need to get involved in this muddy water, and Zhou Yan still planned to slip away.

But Lv Yang didn't think so.

"First of all, regarding your point that 'those who can come here are not human,' I do not disagree that you are not human either."

"But I strongly object to you including me in that category."

"Am I not human?"

"Not to mention that I am still a Mortal. I could be kidnapped here by a villain, so why can't others?"

"If this place harms the lives of wicked people, it is what they deserve, and I will naturally not stop it."

"But even if one good person walks into this place and is harmed because I did nothing, that would be my sin."

"Since you were the one who brought me here, surely you won't refuse this poor monk's small request, especially since you are a Soul Transformation stage expert."

"Besides, without my request, would you, the Saint of the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, the True Person Yunshu who is rumored to exterminate evil and cannot tolerate any wicked people, really just stand by and do nothing?"

This was a conversation-ender.

Putting these labels on him right from the start, this monk was definitely black-hearted.

But no matter how it was put, the whole room was full of Demonic Cultivators. Leaving now and finding someone else to handle it later wouldn't be troublesome, and it wouldn't waste time.

Furthermore, if he got involved, plus this black-hearted monk, God knows what kind of thing could come out of this place.

Zhou Yan had smelled that something was wrong with the scent of incense the moment he stepped in.

"No, there's no need for us to get involved at this time, right?"

"It's not like we don't have urgent matters. If you really want to take down this demon den later, can't you just find someone else?"

"Even if you hire a couple of people?"

"It's not like Lianxing Pavilion doesn't take such jobs. Must you do it yourself, and drag me into it?"

"Don't you think about putting any more high-sounding labels on me. Morality cannot constrain me."

Lv Yang swallowed a mouthful of food, then picked up a cup of water to drink, while his gaze drifted vaguely toward the white-clothed man in the corner.

"In the corner, the guy who just pushed me."

Zhou Yan glanced in that direction. That table of people seemed to be arguing, but it looked like they were clashing via Divine Sense, so he didn't know what they were saying.

He could only tell that the white-clothed youth seemed very unhappy.

"You still want revenge?"

"No, this person has a connection with us later. If my speculation is correct, he will be an enemy of ours later on."

He originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect Lv Yang to give him such an answer.

Zhou Yan was instantly interested.

"So you want me to kill him in advance? You should've said so earlier. I would have killed him and ran away before he entered the door, and we wouldn't have needed to come in and go undercover."

Lv Yang's face immediately soured.

"No, am I the kind of person who only thinks about killing, killing, killing? I hadn't even finished speaking, and you were already thinking about killing people and running away. Are you really a righteous person?"

Lv Yang didn't wait for Zhou Yan to reply and continued.

"That person will be an enemy of ours later, but if we can utilize him in advance, we can save a lot of trouble later."

"Aren't you going to the Eastern Region? He should be able to help you, and he might even provide convenience for some of your subsequent plans."

"And right now, there is an omen of disaster above his head, meaning he will be harmed in this hotel. Although he won't die, helping him is tantamount to saving his life."

"This is the result of my calculation, so now we need to pretend to be good people... No! I am a good person! You've led me astray."

"Anyway, let him suffer a bit first, and then you can step in to save him later. If possible, we can incidentally resolve this demon den as well."

"In my calculations, there seem to be other good people suffering here. I hope you won't be too violent and will try your best to save them."

After finishing this, Lv Yang turned his head to see Zhou Yan, who was sitting upright, his determined face visible even though it was covered by a mask and hood.

A transmission followed immediately.

"Amitabha, although I have no intention of vying for supremacy, I know the suffering of the common people. If this demon den is not eliminated, my heart will not be at peace. Today, I shall take action, for the Righteous Path!"

Good grief, this change of face is too fast!

"Hello, guest. Did you enjoy your meal?"

A masked waiter walked up to Lv Yang and asked about his dining experience.

Zhou Yan glanced at her. This person was similar to the guy at the front desk, wearing the same uniform, and her posture was like a puppet, but one could still detect a sense of a living person.

Looking at her cultivation, she was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage, much higher than that guy at the front desk.

Speaking of which, can Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators work in this place? Zhou Yan remembered that in the Eastern Region, Cultivators were still quite valuable. Just how dark is this place to attract staff of this level to work as service personnel?

Could it be that this place was also started by some financial conglomerate?

Lv Yang wiped his mouth, put his mask back on, and said to the waiter.

"The taste was very good. Thank you for your hospitality."

The waiter's eyes narrowed slightly, and she bowed in thanks.

"Thank you very much for your praise. Would you like to pay with work or Spirit Stones?"

Lv Yang nodded and said.

"Pay with work."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan wanted to pay for Lv Yang, but Lv Yang pressed his hand down.

Then the waiter turned to Zhou Yan and said.

"Then may I ask, sir, do you need to pay with work or Spirit Stones?"

"Don't speak." Lv Yang suddenly transmitted.

Then he took the lead and said.

"I ate his portion too, put it on my tab."

"Very well, then please come to our employee studio at 9 o'clock tonight to receive your task."

After speaking, the waiter left.

However, Zhou Yan had just been able to sense a feeling of disappointment from this guy using the Law of the Heart, and the scent of incense seemed to be a little bit stronger.

Oh my, this dungeon seems a bit overpowered. Not only does it have an eerie feeling, but even I can't fully see through it?

The Eastern Region really does have a magnificent commercial environment. No wonder Lianxing Pavilion can dominate one side. Who understands how much of a relief it is to have a shop that isn't a black shop in a place like this.

However, this is truly terrible now.

Lv Yang looked at Zhou Yan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

As expected, there are things that you are afraid of too.

Through Lv Yang's deduction, he had a rough understanding of the situation here. It is currently known that there might be a Soul Transformation stage expert here.

Although it might not be able to hurt Zhou Yan, it could still cause him some trouble.

No, no, I am gloating over my teammate getting hurt. This kind of thing is not allowed; truly, it is a sin, a sin.

Although he said that, he was still happy about the fact that Zhou Yan might be about to suffer a setback.

And what was Zhou Yan, who was stunned at this moment, doing?

"Lord Canglan, provide some fire support."

"Received."

Soon, an item called [Temporary Strike Tool of the Body Integration Stage] was gradually filling up Zhou Yan's inventory.
