140: Accidental attack + enemy's imagination = (......)

“Who are you? What are you doing in Tiger Peak City?”

Hearing the question, Han Dapao stepped forward.

“We wish to use the teleportation array to go to the Central Domain. We mean no harm.”

“Use the teleportation array?”

The flying demon beast guard breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing the Myriad Realms Kun beneath their feet, his brows furrowed slightly.

“Your mount is too large; the teleportation array cannot bear it. You will probably have to find another way.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Beixuan whispered a few words to Han Dapao, who nodded.

“You don’t need to worry about the mount; just teleport the three of us.”

“This… Please land first. I will ask the City Lord and then reply to you.”

Being able to control such a huge demon beast mount, the three might have a significant background, so the guard did not dare to act on his own initiative.

The three landed on the ground, and the guard flew into the city to report to the City Lord.

The guards on the ground were like facing a formidable enemy, blocking the city gate and swallowing their saliva.

They had seen the previous scene clearly; the giant beast was invincible. If anything were to happen, they wouldn't be able to stop it at all.

The guards here were clearly much higher level than those in Qinglian Town, being 45th level to 50th level elite monsters.

However, Chen Beixuan still found them uninteresting.

“I need to quickly raise my level…”

Not only his level, but he also needed to acquire some equipment. It was simply inexcusable that he was still wearing purple clothes.

“I wonder what’s in the Demon Realm’s treasury…”

His heart stirred, and a hint of curiosity arose.

If Pedro were here, he would surely be overjoyed by now.

It was a pity he wasn't part of it this time.

Chen Beixuan decided to try diplomacy first before resorting to force; he would speak with the City Lord first.

On the other side, the Tiger Demon City Lord received the news, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

“…How big did you say that mount was? Say it again.”

“…It’s a hundred meters long.”

The guard replied.

The City Lord suddenly stood up, his face tense.

“Quick, quick, take me to greet them!”

As he walked out, he muttered to himself.

A hundred-meter-long mount could only be tamed by a strong individual.

In the Demon Realm, where the law of the jungle was revered, strength meant one could do whatever one pleased. If someone were displeased, no one would speak up for his Tiger Peak City if it were destroyed.

Soon, the City Lord arrived outside the city, and the two parties met.

But as soon as they met, the City Lord secretly frowned.

These three individuals’ strength was quite ordinary!

It was far from what he had imagined.

Yet, seeing the gigantic mount in the sky, he began to mutter to himself again.

“I am the City Lord here. May I ask who the three of you are?”

Unsure of their origins, he deliberately lowered his posture, just in case.

“We are traveling and wish to borrow your teleportation array to return to the Central Domain. I am afraid I cannot disclose my young master’s identity to you.”

Han Dapao had already prepared his lines and spoke them fluently and effortlessly.

“Oh~ I understand, I understand.”

The City Lord suddenly realized.

If they were descendants of a great demon clan, then it made sense.

However, he was not foolish enough to believe them entirely based on just a few words from the other party. Instead, he maintained a state of half-belief and half-doubt as he welcomed the three inside.

“Please come in, three sirs. Do you wish to teleport immediately or rest for a while?”

“No hurry. Our young master wishes to exchange some items with you and would like to see the treasury.”

When Han Dapao said this, his heart trembled a little.

He didn't know why Uncle Chen suddenly felt like seeing the treasury. If they were discovered to be imposters, they might be in trouble today.

Chen Beixuan’s several actions had not been witnessed by him, so he was unaware of Chen Beixuan’s true strength.

On the other hand, Hu Linger was much calmer, remaining well-behaved and sensible throughout, silently following along.

Whether it was the killing of her maidservant or those strange faceless monsters, they all demonstrated the extraordinary strength of the human elder.

As long as she followed closely and demonstrated her own value, she believed the elder would not stand idly by.

“Oh?”

Upon hearing about the treasury, the City Lord immediately became alert.

Their small city’s treasury had nothing good at all.

Why would the young master of a great demon clan be interested in this?

Could these three be imposters…

Just as he thought things were becoming increasingly suspicious, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Hu Linger, who was closely following the figure in Black Mist Enshroudment, and he let out a surprised cry.

“Oh? Are you Hu Linger, the new clan leader of the Seven-Tailed Fox Demon Clan of Qinglian Town?”

Hu Linger had no dealings with Tiger Peak City and did not know this City Lord, but she politely nodded.

“That is correct.”

She knew the principle that the more one spoke, the more mistakes one made, so she answered briefly and said no more.

Yet, she was completely unaware that a storm had already been stirred in the City Lord’s heart!

The stories about the Fox Clan and the Flower Demon Clan were well-known and not secrets.

Behind the Fox Clan was the Green Python Clan, one of the top 20 clans, a true great demon clan!

And for the new clan leader to be willing to follow, the identity of that mysterious figure in Black Mist Enshroudment was obvious!

The young master of the Green Python Clan!

Oh my goodness!

Such a prominent figure had actually come to their Tiger Peak City!

The City Lord’s mind reeled, almost causing him to faint!

He hurriedly steadied his emotions, not letting the others see anything unusual, and happily agreed.

“Since the three of you wish to see, then I will personally take you to see.”

Han Dapao was stunned.

Holy cow, he actually agreed?

Uncle Chen is truly prescient!

Little did he know that Chen Beixuan, shrouded in Black Mist Enshroudment, was also bewildered.

What’s going on?

He had already prepared to subdue them with virtue, and you’re telling me you agreed?

What a waste of emotion!

Despite his internal grumbling, he naturally wouldn't refuse to enter the treasury without bloodshed.

Amidst the Tiger Demon City Lord’s polite small talk, the group arrived before a stone house built of hard bluestone.

“Three sirs, this is our treasury. Take whatever you like; consider it a welcoming gift.”

The City Lord laughed heartily, his intention to curry favor quite obvious.

Han Dapao and Chen Beixuan eagerly walked in, while Hu Linger was uninterested.

She knew there wouldn’t be anything good here, but she didn’t want to spoil Chen Beixuan and Han Dapao’s enthusiasm, so she didn’t say anything extra.

As expected.

Upon entering the treasury, Chen Beixuan was visibly disappointed.

The shelves inside were dilapidated, piled with various animal skins and bone materials.

There wasn't even an orange-tier item among the weapons and equipment; it was quite pathetic.

Compared to the treasuries of the demon and human races, this place was simply the slum of slums.

“The Central Domain wouldn’t be like this too, would it…”

He muttered to himself, then thought it wasn’t very realistic.

Good things were bound to be in the hands of a few people. The treasury of a great demon clan was surely filled with many good things.

He had experienced three worlds by now and had summarized a few patterns.

Human culture was prosperous, with countless treasures and gold coins.

The demon race had been at war for years, with aggression as their core, fighting to sustain themselves, and their treasury held resources collected from various realms.

As for this Demon Realm, it seemed to have been constantly in internal conflict, and there weren’t any particularly prominent cultural industries.

One could tell a thing or two from the items placed in the treasury.

It was full of demon beast skins and bones, as well as some mineral materials, very primitive and barbaric.

“Let’s go, Dapao.”

Having found nothing, he patted Han Dapao, who was trying to find a hidden gem in the trash.

Han Dapao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking depressed.

“These things aren’t even as good as my storeroom. This stone house is wasted…”

The two came out and were met with the Tiger Demon City Lord’s hearty smile.

“Did you find anything you liked?”

“No, it’s all trash.”

Han Dapao said grumpily.

But just as the two were about to leave, they were suddenly called out by the City Lord!

“Wait a moment!”

The Tiger Demon City Lord’s eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened.

He stepped forward and stared at Han Dapao, observing him closely.

Han Dapao’s heart sank at this sight, and Hu Linger also subconsciously held her breath.

“You’re not from the Leopard Clan, who are you?!”

Suddenly, the City Lord’s face changed dramatically. As he retreated, he waved his large hand, and a team of guards following him immediately surrounded the three!
