"Ah, so you lied to me."
Old Zhong finally realized that Du Feng was joking with him. If there really was such a huge Pill Spirit, then it must have been transformed from a very precious pill. The people in the Immortal City would be fighting over it.
"I was just joking. It helps with the digestion of the pill."
Du Feng patted his stomach. He had indeed eaten too many pills.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Old Zhong scratched his head and chuckled. He took Su Mo's words as the truth. The next time he took a pill, he would probably play a joke on others in order to speed up the digestion.
After a while, Su Susu looked at Du Feng expectantly and asked him if he could eat it now. The five pills she had given him had not been eaten yet.
Du Feng thought about it and decided that it was not a big deal. He might as well eat them. The five pills did not make much of a difference. All they did was increase his Cultivation from the middle stage of the fifth level to the late stage of the fifth level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. He did not even reach the sixth level.
"Young Master, if you need good pills, you can go to the Demon Market."
Old Zhong's Cultivation might not be very good, but he had been to a lot of places. The Demon Market he was talking about was not a city, but a free market. The market was very similar to many black markets. People could freely trade things that were not normally seen in the light of day.
Because the market was under the control of a very powerful Demonic Cultivator, it was called the Demon Market. Not only would you meet martial artists from all over the place, but you would also meet immortals from the Immortal City, Demonic Cultivators from the Yao Realm, and Demonic Cultivators from the Demon Realm. Even the cultivation techniques of the Dragons and Phoenixes could be bought there.
The most important thing was that not everyone had to abide by the rules of the Demon Market when they traded there. Outside the Demon Market, you could do whatever you wanted. But as long as you were within the boundaries of the Demon Market, no one was allowed to force you to buy or sell, and no one was allowed to rob others.
Interesting. Du Feng had always thought that there was nothing good in the desolate exile zone, because the people there were all low-level martial artists who had been chased out. However, this was not the case. Although the majority of the people in the exile area were low-level martial artists, there was no lack of experts among them.
Moreover, the Banished Area was a lawless zone and was not restricted by the laws of the Immortal City. Sometimes, it was more convenient to do things. Especially the demon cultivators and devil cultivators who were enemies of the Immortal City's martial artists, they could all come to the banished area.
"The things in this demon market are very expensive, right?"
Du Feng had come into contact with such markets in the Lower Realm, and the prices there were generally higher than in ordinary markets.
"Yes, it is expensive, but the things you sell are also expensive."
Everyone said that Old Zhong could be smart sometimes. For example, what he said this time was very true. Although it was expensive to buy things in the Shanghai market, it was the same principle. Therefore, whether or not he could earn money and buy the things he wanted depended on his own ability when he went to the demon market.
"Did the two of you just come back from the Demon City?"
After hearing Old Zhong's words, Du Feng asked casually. However, he immediately regretted it. If they had just come back from the Demon City, then there were only two possibilities. Either they had spent a lot of money on a treasure, or they had just sold something for a sum of money. No matter what the situation was, it could not be known to outsiders.
As an outsider, he hid in someone's carriage and asked such a private question. It was really not good. Old Zhong covered his mouth with all his might, afraid that he would leak the secret. He looked at Su Susu carefully, afraid that she would scold him. However, the more he acted like this, the more it meant that they had really just come back from the Demon City.
Oh no! Du Feng suddenly thought of a problem. If even he knew that they had just come back from the Demon City, then others might also know. Whether they were carrying a lot of money or treasures, it was easy to be targeted. They might even encounter danger before returning to the Su Family.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and then the carriage hit the ground hard. It turned out that four mixed-blood Pegasi had been smashed into pieces by the Thunder Fire Talismans buried in the ground. The carriage lost its support and fell to the ground.
The enemy this time was much more powerful than the horse bandits from before. The way they had buried the Thunder Fire Talismans was very unusual. They had immobilized the carriage so that Su Susu would not be able to escape. Du Feng grabbed Su Susu's arm to prevent her from hurting her head.
The two of them didn't come out of the carriage and didn't make a sound. They just observed quietly. The enemy didn't attack right away, so they didn't know what they were thinking. Old Zhong was outside, but he was badly injured. He was lying on the ground far away, and no one knew if he was still alive.
"Shh, don't move."
Su Susu couldn't help but want to go out and save Old Zhong, but Du Feng held her back. It wasn't that Du Feng was cruel, but he was in the open, and the enemy was hiding in the dark. If he opened the carriage, he would be easily killed. He had not fully recovered yet, so it was not suitable for him to fight with others.
If Old Zhong was dead, it would be useless to go out and save him. If he was not dead, he would be better off lying there quietly. Since the enemy didn't continue to attack him, he wouldn't be in danger.
"What should we do now?"
Su Susu asked Du Feng using telepathy. She was scared out of her wits. In order not to attract other people's attention, the Su family deliberately sent her out to buy ordinary things at that time. If it was something important, her uncle would usually be the one to buy it.
She had thought that she could deceive everyone, but she had still been targeted. Now that Old Zhong was dead and the carriage couldn't move, how was she going to get home? She could use the voice transmission talisman to send a message to her father. The Su family wasn't far from here. Once he received the message, he would rush over with his men.
When Du Feng saw Su Susu take out the voice transmission talisman, he felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't stop the enemy from doing so, because he had no reason to stop Miss Su from asking for help. After all, the Su family still had a few experts. They were both at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor level, but Lord Su was much more powerful than Old Zhong.
The scene was very quiet. The enemy who had set up the Thunder Fire Talismans didn't show up, and Old Zhong was lying there motionless. Time passed, and Du Feng and the others waited from dawn to dusk. When the sun set, the sky turned dark again.
"Clack … Clack …"
