Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1391 City Lord, look! What a treasure!

"The Demon King of the Mountain Shattering Mountain is dead..."

At this point, no matter how unbelievable the matter may seem, he had to take it seriously.

Commander Xue took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Wait a moment."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared.

Zhuang Heng and his companion exchanged a glance, about to say something, when the array in front of them fluctuated, opening a portal. Commander Xue stood inside, his expression solemn.

"follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and led the way, and Zhuang Heng and the other person quickly followed.

As the two entered the courtyard, the array behind them closed completely once again, and three more array barriers rose up one after another, completely surrounding the courtyard. Even a mosquito in the Nascent Soul stage couldn't fly in.

The two followed Commander Xue to the front hall, and after a quick glance, they immediately bowed to the person in the main seat.

"Zhuang Heng and Xu Wenzhou pay their respects to the city lord."

Despite the bright light in the hall, there was a gloomy and oppressive feeling, which made the two of them feel uneasy.

After a moment, a pleasant female voice rang out from the front: "Tell me in detail what happened."

As the words were spoken, the oppressive atmosphere in the hall quickly dissipated, and the surroundings brightened again. Only the main seat was dimly lit, allowing people to see only a blurry, tall figure, but not a clear picture of the person's face.

Zhuang Heng and his companion dared not delay and quickly recounted what they had seen in detail. It took them a quarter of an hour to explain the whole story clearly.

City Lord Su Qian sat quietly in the main seat, listening without uttering a word, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the armrest.

She paused for a moment when she heard that the Demon King of Hanshan had fallen.

She didn't say much until the two finished speaking, then she calmly asked, "So, you didn't witness the fall of the Demon King of Hanshan?"

Zhuang Heng's heart sank, and he replied, "Yes."

Commander Xue raised an eyebrow, his expression easing slightly, and said, "Based solely on this, we cannot confirm the truth of the matter. What if that sword cultivator is just spouting nonsense..."

"Impossible!" Xu Wenzhou hurriedly retorted, "We saw it with our own eyes. The aura emanating from that corpse was undoubtedly that of the Mountain-Shaking Demon King!"

"Junior Brother Xu!"

Zhuang Heng quickly stopped him and said to Commander Xue:

"Commander Xue has not seen it in person, so it is normal for him to have some doubts. However, we two will not listen to other people's one-sided stories."

He looked at the main seat again and continued, "Before I came to report to the city lord, I asked that senior for a piece of the demon king's flesh and blood. The city lord can tell the difference at a glance."

Having said that, he raised his right hand, and a blood-red jade box immediately appeared in his palm.

The jade box was entirely crimson, and as soon as it appeared, it slowly opened a crack.

In an instant, a surge of black demonic energy erupted from the crack, and a ferocious and scorching aura burst forth from the jade box, instantly filling the entire hall!

boom!

The house trembled, and the array rippled. Commander Xue was unable to dodge in time and was hit head-on by the demonic energy. He was immediately shocked and staggered back several steps.

The next moment, a wisp of azure light burst forth from the main seat, drawing all the demonic energy into it and then shoving it back into the jade box.

"Snapped!"

The jade box slammed shut, and everything returned to normal. Only Commander Xue stood to the side, panting heavily, his face filled with terror, staring intently at the jade box, his lips trembling slightly.

"This...it really is the flesh and blood of the Demon King!"

At this point, he dared not have the slightest doubt.

A piece of lifeless flesh and blood could intimidate him to this extent with just its aura. Who else but the Demon King could do that?

But is there really anyone who can kill such a powerful demon king?

Zhuang Heng glanced at him, offering no explanation and showing no sign of mockery.

When he first saw the demon king's flesh and blood, he was no better off than Commander Xue.

This dual suppression of bloodline and cultivation level is something that ordinary cultivators like them simply cannot withstand.

Just then, the jade box suddenly flew out of his hand and slowly fell towards the main seat, where it was caught by a snow-white hand.

Only then did the veil of mystery surrounding the main seat finally dissipate, revealing a young female cultivator with exceptionally beautiful features.

She held the jade box in a dignified manner and stopped in front of her. The jade box opened by itself, revealing a palm-sized piece of black scale armor inside.

The scales still had a mass of flesh attached to them, emanating black demonic energy. Tiny wisps of blue lightning occasionally flickered within them, but the demonic energy and lightning were now bound within the flesh and could not escape even slightly.

"It is indeed the flesh and blood of that old demon."

She stared intently at the scales, examining them closely, especially lingering on the faint, lingering sword intent. A look of seriousness appeared on her face as she turned to Zhuang Heng again.

"Where are the others?"

Zhuang Heng replied, "We have arranged for the two of you to stay temporarily in the guest rooms of the City Lord's Mansion."

"well done."

Su Qian nodded and instructed Commander Xue, "Send someone to inform City Lords Fu Guang and Nan Dong to come out of seclusion, and tell them that I have important matters to discuss with them."

"Yes."

Commander Xue accepted the order and left.

"Zhuang Heng".

Su Qian looked at Zhuang Heng again, a rare smile appearing on her face:

"Don't worry too much. These next few days, you two should keep those two distinguished guests company. But remember, do not let any information related to this matter leak out."

"Yes."

Zhuang Heng naturally understood the gravity of the matter. After all, the city was not a monolithic entity, and if the news were to spread, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary commotion.

Su Qian nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Zhuang Heng looked at the jade box, then mustered his courage to glance at the city lord. Although he wanted to run away immediately, he gritted his teeth and stood still under immense pressure.

People can walk, but what about things?

What if a senior asks about it?

Su Qian's eyes flashed with helplessness as she said, "If that fellow Daoist needs anything in the next few days, just take it and give it to him. It will be recorded in the City Lord's account."

Zhuang Heng's eyes lit up: "Anything is fine?"

"Ah."

Su Qian calmly put the jade box away and said, "I still have a use for this item. I'll return it to him in a few days."

Zhuang Heng bowed and said, "Thank you, City Lord. We will take our leave now."

Anyway, the city lord's mansion is full of treasures, so as long as the senior is satisfied, he wouldn't have any objections.

Don't forget, the senior has an entire demon king's body in his hands, so what is this palm-sized piece?

Don't say that the city lord only borrowed it for a few days and will return it soon.

Even if they don't return it, exchanging a piece of flesh for so many treasures in the city lord's mansion is still a very worthwhile deal.

But he still needs to ask his senior for details. If the senior is unwilling, he will have to beg on his knees to get the things back!
