As for the prices of the treasures in the intelligence store, based on the price of the treasures, the most one percent of the original price could be drawn out.

The Icy Soul Snow Lotus was worth nine million inkstones. If he obtained a Fire Elemental Son, he would be able to increase his chances of obtaining an Icy Soul Snow Lotus. Thus, the price of this intelligence was around 90,000 inkstones.

And this boss directly offered a sky-high price of three million inkstones!

What else could it be if it wasn't a butcher?

Hei Ji's pretty face immediately darkened. "Who are you merchants? Where did you get this kind of scam?"

Although Ming Yu still had seven or eight million inkstones on him, for the sake of such a small intelligence report, how could he possibly take out three million inkstones? That was simply too ridiculous.

The shop owner could not help but sneer. From the looks of it, these two had no real strength. But looking at Hei Ji, she was handsome, slim, delicate, and weak. Her clothes were worth quite a bit of money.

In the black market, no matter who you were, nobody would care if you disappeared in a place like this. This was also the reason why they were so reckless.

However, only by using this kind of method could one truly make a lot of money. As long as someone came to scout for information like Ming Yu or Hei Ji, they would basically be like lambs entering a tiger's mouth and would end up in a miserable state!

"What, you want to go back on your word?"

The shop owner's expression gradually turned cold. He then saw the scouts quickly close the door and lock it, surrounding Ming Yu and Hei Ji and sealing all their escape routes.

These spies were only at the third or fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, but there were five of them altogether. They were more than enough to deal with the two youngsters in front of them.

The boss narrowed his eyes and said, "Just hand over the money and you can leave."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Ming Yu had already seen through everything and said, "If we leave this door today, what will we do if we find a helper? In order to prevent your ugly actions from being exposed, from my point of view, you intend to kill us directly. "

The boss stared at Ming Yu with his pair of small eyes, not saying a word.

He did not admit it, nor did he deny it!

This kind of terrifying atmosphere made Hei Ji feel a chill rising from her back as goosebumps rose all over her body. She subconsciously extended her small hand to grab Ming Yu's sleeve, which was under the table.

She currently had no cultivation. She had come to this Snow Moon City with great difficulty and was in a very good mood. How could she have thought that she would run into a nightmarish person?

After a while, a cruel and twisted smile appeared on the boss' face. "Hehe, you guessed right. Take out the item. Don't worry, I will make it easy for you all to die."

After the two of them die, the boss would have his subordinates dismember their bodies and bury them in the garden. No one would know, so the disappearance of Ming Yu and Hei Ji tonight had nothing to do with them!

However, Ming Yu laughed. Her laughter was exceptionally relaxed, as if she didn't care about anything else.

"I've given you a chance, but you don't treasure it." While speaking, Ming Yu's entire body was already surging with true energy. Just as he was about to make a move, he was interrupted by a voice coming from outside the door.

"Dong Dong Dong …"

"May I ask if anyone is here? The lights haven't been turned off yet. Sir, are you there? "

"Damn it!" The boss' expression immediately changed. How could he allow someone to cause trouble at such a critical moment? He immediately stretched out his palm and grabbed at Mingyu and Blackie's necks. The other five spies took out their swords and sabers, and rushed towards Mingyu and Blackie in an attempt to kill them in one shot!

At this moment, Ming Yu held onto Hei Ji, easily dodging the attack and retreating to the front door.

"What?"

Ming Yu's speed just now had completely exceeded his imagination. All he saw was a black shadow, and Ming Yu had already dodged to the side.

Only now did the boss understand that this Ming Yu was definitely not to be underestimated. He even far surpassed them. Otherwise, how could they not even be able to touch the hem of Ming Yu's clothes?

For a moment, the boss felt regret, but it was already too late.

Ming Yu smiled helplessly. He had originally planned to kill these people, but after hearing the commotion, the people outside would definitely rush in. When he saw Ming Yu kill someone, this good person would instead be wrongly accused.

Thinking to this point, Ming Yu directly kicked open the door, and the silhouettes of the five people outside appeared before Ming Yu's eyes at the same time.

Standing at the front of the group was a bald young man. He had a short, black beard that was as thick as steel. He was tall and resolute, and around his neck hung a string of black buddhist beads.

It was clearly winter, but he was only wearing a thin, dark green suit. The bulging muscles of his arms were so full that his sleeves were bulging, revealing his wild and unbridled muscles, and there was a black cloth belt tightly tied around his waist. He stood in place like a ton of copper wall, giving people a feeling that he couldn't be shaken at all.

Behind him, there were also four bald men who wore the same clothes as him. However, their bodies weren't as frightening as the leader's.

The man in the lead looked into the store and saw the owner and the five scouts holding sharp weapons, hurriedly putting them away.

"What's going on?" The man's deep voice sounded.

This man was Lu Yuankong, a seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage monk. He had brought a few junior brothers with him because he wanted to go to the summit of the Sheng Hanfeng and challenge the bone chilling cold. Even if they were unable to obtain the Snow Spirit Lotus, they would still improve greatly because of this experience.

Lu Yuankong and his group had just arrived at Snow Moon City when they came to the black market to inquire about the news. After searching for a long time, they finally found this small intelligence store that only had one family that still had lights on.

Ming Yu explained, "Earlier, we came here to gather information on the Ice Soul Snow Lotus and Fire Elemental Son. Originally, we only needed several tens of thousands of black jades to gather and these few people demanded a sky-high price of three million black jades. They locked the door and wanted to kill us.

When Lu Yuankong and the four behind him heard this, they looked at the boss and understood what had happened.

Ming Yu was not a match for these people, but since Lu Yuankong encountered this kind of situation, he wouldn't sit idly by.

"Is that so?" Lu Yuankong's face darkened. He walked towards the boss and the five scouts.

Although Mingyu had exaggerated it out loud and said that these people wanted to kill him, Lu Yuankong could tell that this was also caused by Mingyu's self-preservation consciousness. As for these people in front of him, they must have had the intention to rob money.

"You … What do you want... "Ahhh!"

The boss wanted to defend himself, but Lu Yuankong easily knocked them down to the ground with just a few punches!

The shop owner was curled up on the ground, crying out for pain. However, his small eyes were filled with laughter. Actually, he didn't have any pain from the previous injury, but now he was able to escape the calamity while lying on the ground in pain.

"Alright, let's drop the matter." Lu Yuankong turned around and spoke to Mingyu. When the boss heard this, he rejoiced and confirmed that nothing would happen today.

"I don't think so."

However, Ming Yu coldly rejected Lu Yuankong's words. When the boss heard this, he felt a trace of unease in his heart. However, he immediately comforted himself. It can't be, how could he dare …

In the next moment, Ming Yu pulled out her Throat Sealing Sword. Several sword energies decisively slashed out, directly cutting off the throats of the scouts and the owner.

"Ugh …"

Before he died, the shop owner covered his bleeding throat and stared at Ming Yu. He never thought that Ming Yu would be so decisive in killing people. Even with Lu Yuankong, who was at the seventh level of the Refinement Realm, he still dared to kill people in front of them!

If he knew that he was such a ruthless character, why would he have provoked him? The boss felt extremely regretful. However, he would never be able to take the medicine for regret. His neck tilted as his small eyes stared at the ceiling, completely lifeless.

Seeing these people die, Ming Yu felt relieved.

Who knew how many innocent lives this boss and his subordinates had killed. By doing this, he had finally made those dead souls fall to the abyss of grief!

"When are we going to avenge this injustice?" "Young Benefactor, please spare me while I'm at it."

Seeing the people being mercilessly killed by Ming Yu, Lu Yuankong couldn't help but deeply frown.

The four monks behind Lu Yuankong could not help but shake their heads in their hearts. With the help of Senior Brother Yuankong, Mingyu would be able to escape, and these few people only coveted money, so Mingyu would take advantage of them and kill him.

Wasn't this person too vicious?

"I don't understand the temperament of a family member." Ming Yu had already explained it all. Since Lu Yuan did not believe him, then no matter how much he explained, it would all be in vain.

"Amitabha, little Benefactor's killing intent is too great. This way, one day, you will receive your due retribution."

Ming Yu shook her head and laughed, "Haha, I still need to hurry, I don't want to argue with you."

After speaking, Mingyu and Hei Ji prepared to leave.

"Young Benefactor, please wait."

As a high monk, Lu Yuankong was very well-educated. He didn't lose his basic respect for Mingyu because he was ruthless. He asked very politely, "I heard little benefactor speak just now because of the Snow Spirit Lotus. As for Huo Yuanzi, we were about to go look for him. Can little benefactor tell us a bit?"

After all, Lu Yuankong had helped Ming Yu, and the Fire Yuanzi was a highly skilled one. Ming Yu didn't mind, so he repeated the information he had just heard.

Upon hearing that there was really a Fire Elemental Son, the four monks behind Lu Yuankong became excited. Although they did not expect to use it, if their senior brother Lu Yuankong used it, he might actually be able to reach the peak of Ascendant and obtain the Snow Spirit Ice Lotus!

Lu Yuankong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for providing such useful information. Since we are going the same way, why not go together? In return, we will do our best to protect you two."

As he spoke, Lu Yuankong looked towards Blackie. As a seventh level Transcendent Mortal Realm expert, his perception was extremely strong. How could he not know that Blackie was dressed as a man?

As a high monk, Lu Yuankong did not have any thoughts about the matters between men and women. However, people who came from a different family cared about compassion and kindness, and every life was worth being protected. Mingyu's weak strength made him worry deeply about the safety of Hei Ji's trip.

Hence, escorting Ming Yu and Hei Ji in a safe manner could be considered doing a good deed.

"..."

Four hours later.

It was a cold night. The north wind whistled. Snow Moon City's northwest border, Snowy Peak.

At the foot of the mountain, in a snowy forest, a large amount of snow was falling from the trees. Right at this moment, several figures were engaged in a confrontation.

As the battle continued, many trees were cut apart!

Two miles away from the black tent, there were several people rushing over.

They were Lu Yuankong's men who brought Ming Yu and Hei Ji. After four hours of travelling, they finally arrived at the foot of the snow-white mountain.

The group did not go any further. Instead, they hid behind the rocks and waited for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Yuankong stared into the distance and said, "Ning."

All of a sudden, his spiritual will poured into the Divine Court. Insight, activate!

Because Lu Yuankong had already reached the seventh level of Spirit Refinement, his mental power was even more powerful. Just by using his Insight, his perception was already many times stronger than the Soul Sculpting Realm junior brothers behind him.
