Chapter 1778 - 1779: Demon City Ghost Market
Demon City is the closest city to the Demon Realm.
It's also the place where the major sects of the celestial realm gather.
With the gathering of various sects, this originally somewhat silent city has become lively.
Approaching Demon City, Lin Chen also saw many martial artists from different sects pouring in from all directions.
This time, young masters from all the major sects of the celestial realm have gathered in Demon City, making the event extremely lively.
"We're about to enter Demon City, let's take a break and then head into the Demon Realm." Qiao Xue said.
Lin Chen looked into the distance and saw a dark city beneath a towering mountain.
The end of this city was also endless darkness, giving a very oppressive feeling.
Not far away was a temporal rift from which powerful auras were emanating.
Finally, Lin Chen and his companions arrived within Demon City.
This city is constructed with a black tone, looking ancient and solemn, filled with an ancient and desolate ambiance.
At this moment, the city is quite bustling, with people continually entering the city.
Daoist Tianji said to everyone, "We've reached Demon City, follow me into the city. However, with various sects gathered, there are bound to be some confusion. You should be careful upon entering the city and best avoid conflicts with other sects.
Everyone nodded and followed Daoist Tianji into the city.
After all, Yunu Peak is full of women, and most of them are beauties, hence their arrival attracted the attention of the crowd.
"Wow, so many beauties! It'd be nice if I could make some connections."
"Haha, you'd better be careful, Yunu Peak has strict rules, it's quite hard to get close to them."
Amidst whispering, disciples of Yunu Peak entered the city under everyone's gaze.
"Huh, why is there a man in their group?"
"Wow, this is just too lucky, being with so many girls."
Lin Chen instantly became the focus of attention.
However, most people looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Lin Chen helplessly shrugged his lips, it seemed being with the beauties of Yunu Peak naturally attracted animosity.
Just then, there was a commotion in the air, and from the distant sky came the sound of wind-breaking.
Soon, about two hundred figures appeared in everyone's sight.
These people wore very rugged clothes, and a tiger head with a bloodthirsty open mouth was engraved on their chests, emitting a cold wave.
"Black Tiger Sect!" Shangguan Wan'er whispered.
"Oh!"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, the Black Tiger Sect and Yunu Peak have some grudge, meeting this time, they're sure to clash.
"See that tall guy at the front? He should be the strongest of Black Tiger Sect, Ba Tian, Zhao Heihu.
"Zhao Heihu?" Lin Chen looked in the direction Shangguan Wan'er pointed.
Sure enough, at the front of the group stood a young man with a stern expression.
Strong and somewhat cold waves radiated from his body.
The opponent's aura was extremely formidable, clearly reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
"It's said this guy possesses a Tiger Spirit physique, very powerful. Be careful if you encounter him." Shangguan Wan'er reminded.
"Tiger Spirit physique!" Lin Chen also showed a surprised expression.
Lin Chen himself possessed Phoenix's physique, so naturally, he understood the strength of having a unique beast physique.
At this time, the opponent seemed to sense Lin Chen's gaze, and those blood-red eyes also glanced towards Lin Chen.
A bloodthirsty aura subsequently enveloped them.
Lin Chen slightly curled his lips, activated his thoughts, emitting an aura as if surveying the world.
Directly dispersing the opponent's murderous intent.
"Hmm!"
Feeling his aura disappear, Zhao Heihu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhao Heihu made a disdainful gesture towards Lin Chen, his lips curled in coldness.
"Interesting, didn't expect Yunu Peak to have such a character." Zhao Heihu snorted coldly and followed others away.
The disciples of Yunu Peak entered an already booked hotel under the guidance of Daoist Tianji.
Lin Chen originally wanted to rest for a while, but Shangguan Wan'er and Qiao Xue pestered him to go out.
"Lin Chen, I heard the ghost market here is likely to have high-grade magic artifacts, why don't we try our luck?" Shangguan Wan'er said eagerly.
"High-grade magic artifacts aren't that easy to find." Lin Chen shook his head.
However, unable to resist the two girls' soft persuasion, Lin Chen had to follow them to the ghost market.
Today, the ghost market seemed particularly lively due to the arrival of various sects.
Lin Chen glanced around with his gaze, most of the so-called spiritual artifacts here were imitations or worthless items without much spiritual energy.
But it's said some Divine Artifacts lost during ancient battles can be found around Demon Mountain near Demon City.
A few years ago, a high-grade Divine Artifact appeared here, fetching a sky-high price, causing disciples of various sects to try their luck at this ghost market.
At this moment, the ghost market was bustling, filled with people.
On both ends of the street, many martial artists displayed spiritual artifacts, cultivation techniques, and magic artifacts on green stone platforms, waiting for customers.
Due to the crowd, business was evidently good, each stall surrounded by people.
"Great Tianxuan Demon Hand, Thousand-Mile Divine Travel Needle, Tianxuan Sword!..."
Various cultivation techniques and treasures mixed together dazzling the eyes.
Lin Chen wasn't very interested in these things, but Qiao Xue and Shangguan Wan'er seemed quite delighted, hopping from stall to stall.
Then several people arrived at a stone gate.
Written on the stone gate were the words 'Treasure Hunting Street'.
Unlike the previous treasure hunting area, entering here required spending spirit stones.
"Brother Chen, I want to go there." Shangguan Wan'er said excitedly.
Lin Chen smiled and directly threw three spirit stones to the guard, and the three of them went into Treasure Hunting Street.
Indeed, Lin Chen found that the treasures here were of a higher grade than those outside.
It seemed this area was genuinely meant for treasure hunting.
"There's quite a few disciples from major sects here." Shangguan Wan'er whispered.
Lin Chen's gaze swept around, the aura of these disciples was indeed extraordinary.
Each of their faces showed arrogance, evidently all martial artists preparing to enter the Demon Realm.
Lin Chen followed Shangguan Wan'er and Qiao Xue as they looked at the surrounding treasures.
But just then, a young girl's angry voice suddenly came from not far away.
"What are you doing, let us go."
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Chen and the others looked towards it, only to find three disciples of Yunu Peak surrounded by several disciples from the Black Tiger Sect.
"Let's go and check." Lin Chen frowned.
By now, quite a few people had gathered around.
A disciple from the Black Tiger Sect held a shattered piece of jade stone and said, "Everyone, reason with us. I just bought this spirit jade for tens of thousands of spirit stones, they broke it, shouldn't they pay?
"You crashed into me, aren't you being unreasonable?" A disciple of Yunu Peak said angrily.
"Regardless of who crashed into whom, the jade is broken. Either repay spirit stones or play with us brothers for a bit."
Saying that, the hand of that Black Tiger Sect disciple actually started reaching for the face of one of the Yunu Peak disciples.
"Slap!"
Just then, a crisp slap sound suddenly erupted.
