"This is the only news, no other. Purchase restricted!"

Exclusive news?

Not only were the people who were left behind confused, Huo Luan was also very curious. Only Tian Ci was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry when she saw the curious look on everyone's faces.

He had been inseparable from Little Dan all these years. He was well aware of what tricks Little Dan had up his sleeves. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Little Dan beginning to tempt the crowd, tricking their curiosity.

If he was just teasing his partner, Chi Dan would definitely deceive him for his curiosity and then say something he didn't know.

In the past, it only cheated its partners for fun, but today, it was trying to earn spirit stones and obtain cultivation resources. It naturally had to take this seriously.

Seeing that the curiosity of the crowd had been aroused, it immediately placed its hands behind its back and raised its head. Its eyes swept across the pedestrians on both sides of the road, trying its best to look more like a demon king.

"This King knows that you guys have misunderstood my Monster race. A gap appeared in my heart, so I don't trust you."

"However, in order to promote friendly relations between the humans and demons, This King has decided to tell you all a heaven-shaking piece of news …"

There was a gap between the two races. Even if the tragedy of thirteen years ago did not happen, in order to obtain cultivation resources, the two races would never stop fighting.

The "Contract for the Peace between the Human and Demon Tribes" was still there. The battle between the two races had yet to be fought in the open. The appearance of the phenomenon in the sky was merely a means of pulling the battle between the two races into the open.

Scarlet Core was an undeniable demon, but he didn't have the awareness of being a demon. In the past five years, the person who had accompanied him in his growth was a human, and definitely not a demon beast. It could be said that he was very unfamiliar with demons.

For the sake of the friendly relationship between the humans and demons, it was a lie to speak the truth. Even if it was a demon king, it could not represent the entire world's demon beasts, not to mention that it was not a demon king.

"Could it be that the Demon King has come to the Hollow Jade Sect to negotiate?"

At this critical moment in the war between the humans and demons, the Hollow Jade Temple claimed that Chi Dan was a noble guest of the sect. Combined with its meticulous words, very few people believed it.

Without benefits, it was impossible for a Scarlet Core to be useless.

He looked at the passersby and knew that he had already attracted their interest. He even gained the trust of a few people. Realizing that the time had come, he changed the topic and went straight to the main topic.

"That's right, I am here to negotiate with the Hollow Jade Sect on behalf of my race. In order to express my race's sincerity, I have brought a secret."

"However, this duke personally feels that being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. This secret should not be owned by the Hollow Jade Sect alone, but should be shared with the rest of the world!"

"It's just that, this secret is not easy to obtain. It would be unfair to the Hollow Jade Sect if I tell you and the others about it. If I tell the Hollow Jade Sect, it would be like losing a great opportunity for you."

"As the saying goes, it is easy to obtain a treasure, but hard to find an opportunity. If you miss out on it, you will definitely regret it for life. This King ponders over it and only selling information to you and the others is the perfect solution."

Everyone believed Chi Dan's righteous words. If it wasn't for him telling their fortune half a month ago, everyone would have believed him.

"Tsk, to put it bluntly, I still want spirit stones!"

Seeing how the passersby scoffed at him, Chi Dan understood their thoughts. Seeing that no one was fooled, he could only pretend not to know and continue to tempt them.

"This King understands that you are hesitating. Since that is the case, in order to express our clan's sincerity, This King will give you a hint. If you would rather see a rare opportunity pass you by, This King has nothing to say!"

"I believe you must have yearned to rise to the heavens in one step, to live forever, to become an immortal, to rule the world in one fell swoop, to become the ruler of the world in one fell swoop." I believe you must have yearned to rise to the heavens in one step, to live forever and become an immortal, to become an immortal.

To be able to achieve Immortal Ascension in one fell swoop, how could any of the Demon Tribes possibly share such good news with others? Most likely, they would have long since taken possession of it, becoming an Immortal and selling it off here.

None of the people present were idiots. They had thought through everything and despised them. Still, no one came to buy the news of becoming an immortal.

However, not everyone's thoughts were the same. Although they didn't want to buy it, there were still people who were interested in the news of the Scarlet Core.

"Presumably, you are also wondering why my clan chose the Hollow Jade Sect. The reason is very simple, the Hollow Jade Sect is able to stand tall in the cultivation world, with a history far surpassing other sects. My clan believes that only the Hollow Jade Sect can lead the cultivation world to a true peace with my clan."

The passersby remained indifferent. Chi Dan had guessed what they were thinking and could only talk about irrelevant matters. He praised the Hollow Jade Sect on the one hand, and misled those who suspected it on the other.

Because they knew that the Scarlet Core wanted to extort money from people, and after hearing its righteous words and purposely praising the Hollow Jade Sect, Tian Ci and Huo Luan still had a whole new level of respect for it.

The passersby were already puzzled. Now that even their partners and Huo Luan had started to take down the spotlight, Chi Dan began to panic. He could only use fierce medicine.

"You don't believe me?"

"Phenomenon has appeared, the world has changed, treasure has appeared, the world is in chaos, if you are not familiar with the world, this king will explain it to you?"

Thirteen years ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth. The world was shaken. Everyone thought that a strange treasure was born, and they believed that they obtained a heavenly treasure that would allow them to become deities in one step.

When the phenomenon occurred, the world would change, treasures would appear, and the world would be thrown into chaos. These words were also spreading at that time, shaking the entire cultivation world. Almost everyone knew about it, and even now, it still had not died down. As long as it was mentioned, there was no need for Chi Dan to explain.

"Wh, what …"

"My Lord Demon, my Demon King knows …"

"Lord Demon King knows of Shentu Shun's whereabouts …"

The strange phenomenon was caused by Shentu Shun, a child of the Shentu clan, in the Sunrise Forest. In the cultivation world, this was no longer a secret.

When everyone learned that Chi Dan knew of Shentu Shun's whereabouts, they could no longer remain calm at this moment. Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. Immediately afterwards, their eyes began to turn red.

However, not everyone was like this. There were still some people with extraordinary cultivations who maintained their rationality and calmness, so they were not blinded by the temptation.

"Impossible, Shentu Shun. Who wouldn't want to get it? Would it be so kind as to sell us the information?"

"It must be fake!"

Many people had already gone crazy. There were still people who maintained their sanity and made wild guesses. Seeing that the temptation finally had an obvious effect, Chi Dan stopped luring them.

"That's right. This time, I have brought news of Shentu Shun."

"Sigh, as the saying goes, the cycle of karma reacts to unhappiness. The destruction of the two races was caused by Shentu, so it is for him to restore the peace between the two races."

"This was the result of our clan's senior's discussion, which is why we ordered This King to come negotiate. Shentu Shun's whereabouts are the conditions for this negotiation."

After hearing Chi Dan's words, before the others could do anything, Huo Luan was the first to be unable to hold it in. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Chi Dan.

"W-what?"

"Little Demon King, you … you really know?"

Huo Luan clearly knew that she was trying to scam him, but she was still tricked. Seeing him in such a state, Chi Dan felt even more proud of himself.

"Hmph, you know to beg me now?"

"If you want to know, use spirit stones to exchange for it!"

"Brother Huo Luan!"

He and Huo Luan's brother did not want to participate in the discussion regarding Little Dan. After all, they had discussed it before. When they saw that Huo Luan's brother was like everyone else, his eyes turned red and his body trembled.

There were many versions of what happened thirteen years ago. Heaven's Gift and Scarlet Core had only gotten one of the versions from the four underlings of the Flame Sect. The truth was still unclear. As for Shentu Shun's whereabouts, they really did not know.

Familiarity was the worst behavior of Little Dan. Seeing Little Dan's actions, he was really worried that Huo Luan would fall for it. He immediately pulled on Huo Luan's sleeve and shook his head, indicating to her.

With a call from Heaven's Gift, Huo Luan's red eyes returned to normal. Not only did her trembling body return to normal.

Since the phenomenon of heaven and earth thirteen years ago, there had been a rumor that the Shentu Dynasty's people had gained the world. The few people who still had their doubts about Chi Dan were still reasonable, unlike Huo Luan.

The pedestrians on the street were all red with envy. They did not doubt Huo Luan's performance. After all, cultivation was to satisfy one's desires. Even if one did have such desires, it was only for one's longevity.

On the other hand, Huo Luan himself was also shocked by his previous performance. He tried his best to calm down, gave Tian Ci a grateful look, and turned around to look at the passersby.

Huo Luan was not the only one who woke up with a single word of spirit stones. Many people with decent cultivations woke up one after another. When they saw Chi Dan and thought of how they dared to mess with the Demon King, their hearts trembled.

Those who were muddled by their desires and had yet to awaken themselves had already begun to approach Chi Dan unconsciously. It was obvious that they did not regard Chi Dan as a demon king, but as Shentu Shun.

Some people started getting closer and closer to Chi Dan, and there were more and more of them. This scene entered the eyes of those who were awake, worried that those who were completely immersed in desire would anger Chi Dan.

Of course, this was also seen by Heaven's Gift. They were worried that Little Dan would cause a huge ruckus, so they had no choice but to stop her from causing another ruckus.

"Little Dan, stop messing around. Let's go!"

How could he give up now, how could he give up? Once he admitted to making a ruckus, although the pedestrians would only dare to be angry at him, they would definitely not be willing to leave if they could not earn any spirit stones.

"Smelly brat, who said that This King was messing around. Didn't This King say that This King was promoting friendly relations between the humans and demons? You should stay by the side."

The two youths standing next to Chi Dan, a mortal and a cultivator, were completely unaffected by Shentu Shun's provocation. Instead, the mortal youth was trapped inside.

The people who had not yet fallen into desire were all surprised by Huo Luan's behavior. They were also surprised by her behavior and started to guess what she was up to.

A portion of the people who woke up were too shocked and had already left. Those who had not left were also very surprised by Tian Ci and Huo Luan's expressions. While they were bewildered, they also began to ponder.

The fact that Chi Dan said he knew of Shentu Shun's whereabouts and that he was too calm meant that he was lying. Those who were deep in thought were unsure whether he was an ignorant fool.

After that, the young man tried to stop the Monster King from making a ruckus. Was it really Scarlet Pill who was making a ruckus?
