"Your Highness Demon King, this junior and the other two have come late. Please forgive me!"

After resting in the city for the entire night, Chi Dan was about to head to the sect. He had important matters to attend to in the city, so Lu Ding and the other two elders couldn't be sure.

Following behind Chi Dan, the three men sighed in relief when they heard what he had to say and knew that he was heading towards the sect. At the same time, they felt helpless about the news of him selling the pill.

As long as Chi Dan wasn't fighting in Songyu City, the three of them couldn't be bothered to show their faces. They didn't want to anger Chi Dan, so they could only use the name of their sect to amass wealth and praise the sect. The three of them stood at the back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Knowing that Chi Dan knew of Shentu Shun's whereabouts, they could no longer be completely safe. Regardless of the authenticity of the news, as long as the sect was concerned, it was impossible for them to sit idly by and watch.

Crimson Dan was extremely familiar with killing techniques, and upon seeing them arrive, he immediately became excited.

"Haha, you guys are here to buy information as well?"

"Eh?!"

"Your Highness, you've misunderstood!"

It was good to be perfunctory without buying any information. The other three disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect were unwilling to give any perfunctory perfunctory treatment.

"NND, don't buy any news, just stay here and don't bother laozi!"

After being scolded by Chi Dan, Lu Ding and the other two felt wronged and infuriated, but they didn't dare to display the slightest bit of their temper. They stood obediently by Shen Ci's side, not daring to utter another word.

"Ah …"

The moment Lu Ding and the other two arrived, Chi Dan bellowed angrily. A small portion of the people who were slowly approaching Chi Dan quivered in their hearts and retreated swiftly in fright. A few of them immediately reacted and ran away.

Hearing that scream, those who had fallen into madness also came back to their senses. They thought that Chi Dan had made his move before they could understand the situation and had already escaped.

The pedestrians on both sides of the street left one after another. There weren't many left, only about ten or so people.

Among these ten people, some of them were still skeptical. There were also a dozen or so people who woke up later. Whether Chi Dan knew or not, they did not want to miss out on Shentu Shun's whereabouts.

Even if he didn't leave, it didn't mean that he had to take out spirit stones to buy information. Only a fool would take out spirit stones to buy if Shentu Shun's whereabouts were true.

"Do you really want to give up?"

"My spirit stones!"

The temptation of Shentu Shun's whereabouts was still great. Almost everyone had already taken the bait. Unfortunately, after being messed up by his companions and Lu Ding and the other two, many people had already left.

In Chi Dan's eyes, these people who left were like a pile of lost Spirit Stones. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The remaining people didn't have any intention of buying the information. It wanted to give up, but was unwilling to do so. Therefore, it wanted to tempt them again. If there still wasn't anyone willing to buy it, it could only give up.

"If the Hollow Jade Sect were to obtain Shentu Shun, I wonder if anyone would be able to become an Immortal?"

The world had always had a rumor that the person who obtained the Shentu Sword and became an immortal. Whether or not it was true, no one knew, but the thoughts of the Scarlet Pill was in fact the thoughts of the people.

Although Chi Dan seemed to be talking to himself, and those who had yet to leave knew that he was deliberately luring them, they could not help but think curiously.

"Little Dan, let's go!"

Seeing that those people were lost in thought, Blessing began to worry that those people would fall for their trap and cause trouble. He started to urge Chi Dan to leave.

Chi Dan was not angry at all after hearing his partner's urging. Instead, he was secretly happy that his partner had urged him to do so at the right time.

"Sigh, since no one wants to know where Shentu Shun is, we can only take advantage of the Hollow Jade Sect."

"Little brother Huo Luan, you stinking brat, let's go!"

If one was Shentu Shun, one could ascend to the heavens in a single step and not be restricted by one's authority. If one became the world's ruler, it would affect the life and death of others. If one became an immortal, it was possible to live forever.

Such a huge temptation, even if it were anyone else, they would be tempted.

In the cultivation world, there were five great sects, the One Demon Sect, the Jade Void Sect, the Flame Sect, the Mysterious Spirit Sect, the Sky Cracking Sect, the Cloud Sky Sect, and the Demon God Sect.

At this time, the Scarlet Core had yet to enter the Hollow Jade Sect and was in the best condition to enter. However, once it entered the sect, regardless of whether the news was real or fake, it would be even more impossible to find out.

After thinking all this through, seeing that Chi Dan was about to leave, those people were no longer at ease. They mustered up their courage and gathered up their courage, slowly approaching Chi Dan to block his path.

Regardless of whether or not Chi Dan knew about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, Lu Ding and the other two wanted Chi Dan to immediately head to the sect. Seeing that passersby had begun surrounding him, they could no longer remain calm.

"You dare to block my Lord Monster King's path? Do you all not want to live?"

Wanting to leave was already a way to force those who hadn't yet left to make up their minds. They bought the information, and when they saw those people closing in, Chi Dan was very pleased.

Suddenly, Lu Ding shouted, and Qiu Pingnan and Li Ting immediately stood up to stop them. Seeing this scene, if they could kill the three of them, they would not hesitate to do so.

Fortunately, Shentu Shun's temptation was great enough. When faced with Lu Ding and the other two's attempts to stop him, those people were indifferent and ignored him, continuing to get closer.

"Insolence! Are you all pulling on This King's hatred?"

"The friendly relationship between the humans and demons is the purpose of our tribe, how can we be rude to everyone?"

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

The Spirit Demon King was angered, and if he wanted to take action, the ten over people would not be able to withstand a single strike. Seeing Chi Dan angering Lu Ding and the other two and treating them amiably, those people secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as these people rushed to buy Shentu Shun's location, then not only would Chi Dan not be angry with them, he would even thank them.

Of course, those people had no idea what Chi Dan was thinking. Seeing him politely disperse the crowd, some of them could no longer hold themselves back.

"Lord Monster King, please wait. If you leave, we don't dare to stop you."

"However, Shentu Shun concerns the stability of the cultivation world and the safety of the common people. We have no choice but to treat him with caution. If he has committed any immoral acts, please forgive us."

Thirteen years ago, the phenomenon occurred in the southeast. The northwest was in a remote location, and there was a distance of millions of kilometers between them. After the phenomenon occurred, not all sects participated in it in a timely manner.

Shentu Shun had been taken away by a mysterious person. No one would give up before hearing of his death.

The Sky Cracking Sect of the Northwest Region and the Cloud Sky Sect had sent disciples down the mountain to find out where Shentu Shun was. The one who came to talk to the Demon King was the disciple of the Sky Cracking Sect, Jin Lei.

Jin Lei was of medium height, with a long sword strapped to his back. He had bronze skin, and a long white robe.

Back then, the only person who touched Shentu Shun was Su Liang, and everyone in the world knew of him.

Jin Lei had gone down the mountain to train, and his thoughts were the same as many others. The world was open for him to train, so why not go to Songyu City and ask about Shentu Shun's whereabouts?

As the leader of the Rift Sky Sect, his words and actions represented the world. Thus, Jin Lei stopped Chi Dan from speaking. He didn't speak for himself, but for everyone else.

The five sects were the world's leaders when danger was approaching; the five sects were the world's leaders when danger was approaching; and the five sects were the world's leaders when facing strong enemies.

Only in the face of true benefits would people not remember the leaders of the world and insist on equality.

The rogue cultivator did not have a sect as his backing and did not wish to offend the Monster King. Naturally, no one was willing to take up the role as well. Jin Lei could not stand by and watch Chi Dan leave.

Since everyone wanted to obtain Shentu Shun's whereabouts, there was no reason for him to offend Chi Dan. He had no intention of being the leader of the righteous path and force Chi Dan to his side. He only wanted to drag everyone down with him.

People in the sects always talked and did things as if they were the responsibility of the world. They always spoke with a sense of righteousness, and their words were full of righteousness and morality.

Not only did the rogue cultivator know this, Chi Dan also understood that it was not easy to get someone to take the lead, and he was not willing to expose it.

To put it bluntly, whether or not Shentu Shentu was related to the cultivation world or the safety of the world had nothing to do with it. As long as it was not stopped from making a fortune, it would not care.

"Sure!"

"If the Demon King truly knows of Shentu Shun's whereabouts and wishes to speak the truth, we would be forever grateful!"

These words were undoubtedly trying to find out the truth, wanting to verify the truth of the news.

"No problem, this king will definitely speak without hesitation."

"However …"

Gratitude?

Those were all fake, so how could Chi Dan care? Without actual results, there was no way he could make it say half a sentence about Shentu Shun's whereabouts.

"Your Highness, if you have something to say, please speak your mind!"

He saw Chi Dan agree readily, and why he wanted to say something he didn't want to. Jin Lei knew what he was doing. He was worried about Chi Dan's face, and pretended he didn't know anything.

"It's like this. This king had previously said that Shentu Shun's whereabouts were difficult to obtain and that it was also the condition for the two races to get back together. This is what I'll tell everyone. Clearly, it's unfair for the Hollow Jade Sect."

"How about this, it's not like I don't know how to change the situation. You guys can buy it with spirit stones and the highest bidder will get it. How about it?"

The old story had finally returned to its original point.

The reason why he had done so much previously was mainly to earn more spirit stones. Only spirit stones would be sufficient to speed up his cultivation, thus, he would never let down his guard.

Seeing that Chi Dan was using the excuse that the two races were living in peace, Jin Lei also wanted to use the safety of the world's people as an excuse. He wanted Chi Dan to tell him about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, but he failed.

"I wonder how many spirit stones the Demon King is willing to charge?"

Everything had its value, and there was no such thing as priceless. Only things that had meaning would be priceless, and so would information. The value of information was also measured according to one's needs.

No one present was a fool. Everyone knew how precious Shentu Shun's whereabouts were, and Jin Lei knew it was worth.

The Scarlet Core was a seller, and one of the highest status ones as well. Jin Lei had no choice but to ask since he didn't want to set the price on a specific basis.

"This news concerns everyone in the world. At least one, no, at least five top quality spirit stones and a limited number of people. Those who make a high bid can have their bids reduced accordingly."

Jin Lei thought that Shentu Shun was related to the stability of the cultivation world and the safety of all the people in the world. He thought that the Scarlet Pill would provide Shentu Shun's whereabouts free of charge, but the Scarlet Pill used this as an excuse and demanded a sky-high price.
