Koreans arrived, standing tall with their chests puffed out, looking as if they regarded no one else.
They indeed have the qualifications to look down on others.
Except for the leader, who was a demon, the rest were all humans.
However, for others, they have actually already been possessed by the parasitic demon.
Man is the demon!
The parasitic demon recovers its strength through the human body. Once it reaches a certain level of power, it can separate from the host body on its own without harming the person’s life.
Once the host dies, the parasitic demon will immediately absorb the host’s flesh and blood, rapidly restoring its strength to its peak condition.
This time, their arrogant capital was the leader.
The leading demon was different.
The demonic aura on him was almost non-existent, as if he were regressing from a demon back to a human.
Especially his bloodshot eyes were beginning to fade.
His skin and eyes still bore unique demon race characteristics, though they were no longer very noticeable.
Such a transformation may seem somewhat strange to many people.
But a few knew that this parasitic demon was different.
He became the King’s Vassal with his demon race body, and has been sleeping alongside the King. Now that he has awakened, he is still in the recovery phase.
His strength was around fifteen hundred zuns. Not the strongest, but he exerted a special kind of pressure on humans and other demons.
Someone witnessed this abnormal demon race member instantly killing several fourth-stage humanoid creatures.
One hand—just one hand was used to accomplish the instant kill. That’s not something an ordinary soldier could achieve.
Wang Zun was, after all, the only powerful figure of his era capable of challenging the King. Even in his weakest state, he was still far beyond the reach of ordinary people to confront.
When the demon was still carrying the Korean away from the ruins, teams from the United States, Japan, and even India arrived.
Many Chinese people can’t help but want to take action when they see Japanese people.
Someone said, “Be cautious. I’ve heard that Japan also has a king, and his strength seems to be recovering rapidly. We absolutely must not provoke him now, or we might face retaliation.”
“Don’t underestimate this group just because only thirty Japanese have arrived this time; I suspect there are hidden experts among them as well.”
“Damn it, we should have eliminated them all back then. China and Japan have long been locked in an irreconcilable conflict—what are we afraid of now, some retaliation? Do you have any guts at all? You’re really disgracing the descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors. At most, it’s just death—do you actually think the Japanese will spare you if they come to China?”
People were discussing, and many had already developed murderous intentions!
Lu Yu looked around for a while, then left the ruins and followed the map given by Zheng Yunqingbo to search for the location.
It is indeed a bit far from here to the location of the fair.
At Lu Yu’s pace, he finally found the location of the exchange just as night was about to fall that day.
“Wow.” Lu Yu stood on a small hill looking at his destination, startled.
This is a half-ruined city, its size beyond his sight.
However, at least three hundred thousand humans and demons have gathered here now, along with more than one hundred thousand humanoid creatures.
It is now evening, and the place is brightly lit, bustling and lively. The various cries of vendors and bargaining voices are so loud that even from the hillside above, Lu Yu’s ears are ringing.
Someone stood on a small hill like Lu Yu, looking down and was startled by what they saw.
He seemed not to know who Lu Yu was, and smiled warmly, saying, “That’s really something. There are already so many people here even though it’s still twelve hours until it starts. If there are a few more hours, it’ll be even more lively.”
Lu Yu nodded with a smile.
He was about to descend the hill and enter the ruins when he was stopped by several humans.
A tall man said, “Friend, you’ll need one thousand grade-one Star Spirit Stones to enter!”
“Do I need to pay more?” Lu Yu asked in surprise, looking at the group of burly men. These men were actually speaking the language of the Demon Race, which indicated that they had invested a great deal for this transaction.
It is said that once you learn the language of the demon race, you can understand all languages of this era.
It seems to be true. There are actually people who have gone to study the demonic race’s language.
Several African American men stood in front of Lu Yu. Although they couldn’t exactly be described as having fierce, rugged faces, their stern expressions were somewhat intimidating.
Moreover, judging from his strength, he should be around the hundred-zun level, which is nothing to scoff at.
The big man also looked at Lu Yu, feeling that he looked familiar, but couldn’t recall who he was.
This world is too vast, and to foreigners, Chinese people all look similar.
Da Han became somewhat impatient with Lu Yu’s skepticism and said, “Do you think it’s easy to organize an event like this trade fair? To guarantee its security, we’ve invited the Snake Clan’s ancestor, along with his star artifact, and even the King of Hell himself, also with a star artifact, to be present. Don’t you think that costs money? Additionally, we’ve invested enormous effort into planning and selecting the venue—all of which requires funding.”
“A good business,” Lu Yu said with a smile, nodding his head. He tossed a thousand star spirit stones to the burly man and said, “Next time I get the chance, I’ll host one too. Setting the price at ten thousand star spirit stones wouldn’t be bad either.”
The big man took the Star Spirit Stone, stepped aside to clear the passage for Lu Yu to enter, and at the same time, with a tone of disdain, he said, “Who do you think you are? Do you really believe such a deal can be made so easily?”
Lu Yu didn’t take it seriously.
When he stepped into the ruins, the sound became even louder, shaking Lu Yu to the point where he felt like spitting blood.
Lu Yu saw the person standing on the hill appear beside him and say, “I heard that all the truly valuable things are in the center; the outskirts are merely filled with ordinary soldiers hawking their wares.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “I’ll take my time looking around. Anyway, in three days, it’s impossible to visit every part of such a big city.”
“Alright then, you carry on.” The man laughed and turned to leave.
As Lu Yu passed by a stall, the vendor, a man in his thirties, immediately called out loudly, “Hey there, friend! Take a look. I’ve got something here dropped by a dragon clan member.”
“Dragon Clan?” Lu Yu stopped and looked at the items on the stall. “Which one is it?”
The stall owner picked up a chunk of crystal and chuckled: “This is something my friends and I discovered inside a dragon’s lair—it was lying right beside a golden dragon. Since I feel you’ll find it familiar, I’ll give it to you at a bargain price—how does one billion star spirit stones sound?”
The vendor spoke, his eyes also darting around灵活地转动着, never staying in one place for more than half a second.
“Let me see.” Lu Yu took the crystal block and glanced at it, but he couldn’t see its attributes.
The stall owner was quite unconcerned and simply let Lu Yu examine it, saying, “This isn’t a prop, nor does it have any attribute display. If you, sir, truly recognize its value, then you’ll be the one profiting. If you don’t recognize its worth, then you needn’t buy it at all.”
The vendor sighed heavily, as if lamenting that Lu Yu failed to recognize the value of the goods.
“A piece of broken red crystal? Do you really think I’m so stupid that I can’t even recognize this?” Lu Yu sneered, tossing the crystal piece back to the vendor. “You’re really bold enough to try to deceive people with this kind of thing—”
Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, the vendor’s expression had already changed. He hurriedly ran over to Lu Yu, laughing nervously, and said, “Friend, give me a break. This crystal piece was really hard for me to make like this. Even if you’ve figured it out, could you please not cut off my source of income?”
“Don’t you worry about someone catching you?” Lu Yu asked with a smile.
“This, as long as you don’t say anything, I deserve whatever happens to me, even if others beat me to death,” the stall owner chuckled, pushing Lu Yu and saying, “Friend, there are many nice things over there. Why don’t you go take a look?”
Lu Yu walked away from the stall without exposing the vendor’s trick and continued on his way.
This is a street in the ruins, with stalls lining both sides. Countless vendors are trying to attract customers.
“Quick, come and see! I’ve got a Star Treasure I found in the ruins of the royal city.”
“A supreme star weapon obtained from a ruined site, with dual skills and dual attributes, increasing attack power by seventy zuns.”
“A fragmentary recipe for armor. As long as you can complete it, you could create armor with a defense value exceeding ten thousand at the very least.”
The cries of street vendors were in a tumult; Lu Yu had to listen carefully to catch anything at all.
“Friend, come take a look. Everything I have here is carefully selected; there must be something you want.” Someone grabbed Lu Yu’s arm and pulled him towards their stall.
“There’s nothing I want here. Forget it.” Lu Yu took just one glance before shaking his head and leaving.
Another stall owner said, “My friend, you’re clearly an expert and a wealthy person. The items you’re looking for must be rare treasures. How about this Star Treasure of mine—it boosts attack power by a hundredfold and also carries the effect of toxic damage. I won’t claim this poison can rival the Ten Thousand Poisons or the Poison Dragon Body, but it’s still a rare and potent toxin. What do you think? I’m asking for only three billion Star Spirit Stones for this item, or we can also trade using Evolution Fluid or Blue Planet Soul.”
“It’s a good item, but not quite suitable for me,” Lu Yu said, glancing at the vendor’s goods before handing them back.
At this moment, a sudden commotion arose from behind Lu Yu.
“It’s the Snake Demon, he’s coming.”
“Also by his side is a sixth-stage snake person.”
Many people made way to both sides as She Mo and more than a dozen snake people walked through the center. No one even glanced sideways at the surroundings.
Many people were too afraid to speak, fearing that their voices might provoke the serpent demon’s murderous rage.
Everyone knows that the Snake Demon is extremely cruel and possesses immense power.
Its arrogant and haughty attitude provoked resentment among many people, yet no one dared to utter a word.
After the snake demon and other humanoid tribes had walked far away, someone spat and said, “Pretending what? If they saw Lu Yu, they’d run away too, just the same.”
“Yeah, I wonder where he gets that confidence. I heard that in the arena fight at the ruins of the capital, Lu Yu completely overwhelmed him, leaving him unable to fight back. And now he’s still acting so arrogant. He really doesn’t know how to write the word ‘death.'”
“If I had Lu Yu’s strength, I’d crush him right now. He’s just too irritating to look at.”
A group of people whispered among themselves.
However, they soon stopped.
Since human-like creatures nearby had already stopped to start purchasing items.
Lu Yu hadn’t walked far when he suddenly stopped.
There is a stall here that occupies quite a large area.
The vendor had placed all sorts of strange and unusual items on display, and there were many things on top.
A soldier was holding an object and haggling with the stall owner.
The vendor kept shaking his head, indicating that not a penny could be reduced. Meanwhile, the soldier kept bargaining, hoping to buy it.
“I’ll take it. How much is it?” Lu Yu pointed at the item in the soldier’s hand and asked the vendor.
The stall owner immediately said, “Fifteen drops of Evolution Fluid, five Blue Star Souls, and one billion Star Spirit Stones.”
“Okay, I’ll take it.” Lu Yu immediately reached out to pay without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately shouted loudly, “I’ll take it, I’ll take it, no haggling.”
