When they reached the entrance of the herb shop, the two of them jumped down from the giant panda. Ju Xiaoyue took out her Heavenly Beast Tablet and waved it, and the giant panda turned into a stream of light, returning to the Heavenly Beast Tablet.

Stepping into the herb shop, a refreshing herbal smell entered Chen Hao's nose. Chen Hao looked around and saw that the store was filled with colorful herbs, and quite a few customers were picking them.

The shopkeeper was a kind old man. Chen Hao asked directly: "Boss, are there any Herba Cuspidae?"

The shopkeeper said, "There are Herba Cuspidae s, but they cost eight hundred ingots."

"Why is it so expensive!"

Chen Hao was shocked.

The shopkeeper said: "Herba Cuspidae are the special herbs of the A Spiritual World, we have spent a lot of energy to send people to the A Spiritual World to pick them, so the price can't be considered expensive anymore, even if it's outside, it would cost five or six hundred yuan, not to mention this is Black Dragon Palace's territory."

Chen Hao gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, 800 then. Give it to me."

He wasn't willing to spend too much effort to go to A Spiritual World. If he could just buy it with money, it would be good.

"Please wait a moment."

The manager waved his hand and called over a shop assistant, then he called over the shop assistant to go in and get the goods.

The Black Dragon Palace was a mess of fish and dragons. Any medicinal herbs that were more than 500 ingots in value were not directly placed in the shop for fear of being robbed by others.

Chen Hao and Ju Xiaoyue were waiting. Suddenly, they saw two people walking towards them, one of them was thin and eerie, it was Zhou Zihan, the other one had a haughty expression, his eyes were high above his head, but Chen Hao did not recognize him.

Ju Xiaoyue's expression changed slightly as she whispered, "It's Zhou Zihan and Long Ao Tian!"

Chen Hao's heart sank, if it was just Zhou Zihan, he was not afraid, but that Long Ao Tian was actually the Young Hall Master of Black Dragon Palace, and also a mage, he would not be easy to deal with.

Behind Zhou Zihan and Long Ao Tian was a group of majestic black armored guards.

Chen Hao and Ju Xiaoyue snuck into the guest group and faced the wall, hoping that they wouldn't be discovered.

As soon as Long Ao Tian stepped into the shop, he shouted to the shopkeeper: "Hey, old man, it's time to pay the protection fee."

The innkeeper's face was full of respect as he smiled and said, "Young Master Long, I've already handed it in this month."

Long Ao Tian looked at Zhou Zihan and said: "I have a friend coming over today, I want to take him to play. There isn't enough money to spend, so you have to first pay the next month's protection fee, hurry up and bring the money over. Stop being so long-winded!"

His tone was extremely domineering.

The shopkeeper said, "This... Young Master Long, you don't follow the rules, right? "

Hearing this, Long Ao Tian was enraged, saying: "What do you mean by disobeying the rules, could it be that you dare to disobey my words?"

With that, a group of guards pounced on the shopkeeper like a pack of wolves and tigers as they glared at him with murderous intent.

Seeing Long Ao Tian being so arrogant, Chen Hao was secretly angry in his heart.

The shopkeeper's expression became extremely unsightly. He could only smile apologetically as he said, "Young Master Long, don't be rash. I'll give you the money right now."

The shopkeeper took out a silver note and handed it over to Long Ao Tian.

Long Ao Tian snorted, taking the silver, saying: "At least you're sensible!"

He was about to leave.

At this time, the shop assistant also took out the Herba Cuspidae that Chen Hao wanted. The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Hao and said: "Hey, young man, this is the Herba Cuspidae that you wanted."

When Chen Hao heard the shopkeeper's shout, he cursed in his heart.

Long Ao Tian and Zhou Zihan looked at him, Zhou Zihan immediately recognized him and shouted: "Chen Hao, Ju Xiaoyue, it's you guys!"

Chen Hao and Ju Xiaoyue turned around with an ugly expression.

Long Ao Tian saw Ju Xiaoyue, and his eyes immediately lit up. Laughing obscenely, he said: "Little girl, we meet again, this time you won't be able to run away."

With a wink, a group of guards blocked the door.

One of the guards said, "Young Master, I recognize them. They used stones to gamble for a thousand years and won more than ten matches in a row. The Head Supervisor wanted to capture them, but they ran away."

"Oh, really?"

Long Ao Tian's face became solemn, saying: "In my territory, you actually dare to say such a thing, you are truly courting death."

Ju Xiaoyue said, "Hey, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by cheating? You open the door to do business and we're not allowed to win money?"

"Little girl, obediently come over and sleep with the young master. I'll give you whatever you want."

Long Ao Tian smiled, waving to the guards behind him, he said: "Do it, the men will kill, the women will be captured."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The guards shouted, drew their weapons and rushed towards Chen Hao and Ju Xiaoyue.

"Let's go!"

Ju Xiaoyue saw that the situation was bad and held Chen Hao's hand with one hand, then she snatched the Herba Cuspidae and ran towards the back of the herb shop, trying to escape through the back door.

"Chase!"

Long Ao Tian and Zhou Zihan immediately brought people with them to chase. The two of them fled to the streets outside. The sound of sentries and guards sounded out and the guards from all sides surged over like floodwaters.

"Run!"

Ju Xiaoyue took out her Heavenly Beast Tablet and summoned her giant panda, and together with Chen Hao, they mounted the panda and started running away.

However, the guards were surrounded like an iron bucket. With their swords and sabers at the ready, they were unable to escape the danger.

Long Ao Tian and Zhou Zihan stood at the side, sneering at the fight from the sidelines. The passersby were all surprised to see dozens of guards encircling the two of them and stopped to watch.
