I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 276 Internal strife
"Who are you? Why are you arresting them?"

When Meng Shulan asked the question, she took out the protective magic item that Xiao Qi had given her before and slapped it directly on her body.

Lin Qingquan did the same thing as her.

It wasn't that the two were cowards, but the monster in front of them, who had transformed into human form, was more powerful than them. The invisible pressure made them feel a little breathless until they activated their protective magic treasures.

“Fairy, they came from Sanqing Mountain. This woman is that boy’s aunt.”

At this moment, an old man came out from the secret passage on the other side. The wall there was moved from the middle to both sides and opened up, along with a putrid stench, like the smell of rotten meat that had been left out for many days.

Meng Shulan frowned and turned to look at Lin Qingquan.

Then they heard the old man say, "Their cultivation is not low; you should eat them."

"I heard that after the passage from Sanqing Mountain to the Demon Realm opened, you were negotiating terms with the Demon King. What were they?"

The succubus interrupted the old man, but what she said clearly shocked him. He unconsciously took a step back, and when he looked at Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan again, he no longer looked contemptuous, but rather with a hint of panic.

Because Sanqing Mountain has been heavily guarded in recent years, prohibiting outsiders from approaching, even though the cultivation community has some speculations, they dare not think in this direction.

The passages are all open, but the monsters haven't managed to break in.
The old man grew even more wary of the couple. His eyes flickered as he looked at the green-clad banshee, hoping she would listen to him and kill the two of them.

"Why do I need to tell you what happened? Since you know we defeated the Demon King, why didn't you go and help us? Instead, you're hiding like a coward in the Northeast."

After Meng Shulan finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and laughed, "I know, the reason you didn't go is because you want to replace the Fairy Maiden and absorb the incense offerings of the people at the Willow Fairy Temple? You want to become an immortal? Oh, I guessed right? My God, how naive! You dare to compare yourself to the Fairy Maiden? She was able to become an immortal because she had so much merit that it could circle the earth. Do you have any?"

Seeing the banshee's expression change drastically, Meng Shulan truly admired herself for being able to think of that.

Of course, it was also thanks to Xiao Qi's adventures in the cultivation world and the demon world over the past few years. Because she was worried, she asked Su Changhe a lot about those places, especially about the demon race.

Although it's a cultivation world rich in spiritual energy, it's almost impossible for a demon to become an immortal. Su Changhe said that it's considered good if one demon breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and becomes an immortal every tens of thousands of years, and most of the time it's not.

Perhaps due to the flaws in the Heavenly Dao in the last tens of thousands of years, not to mention demons, even cultivators have not been able to achieve the Great Dao and ascend to immortality.

So, in the blink of an eye, Meng Shulan thought of this. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain why this female demon would transform into the same form as the fairy. Perhaps the statue in the main courtyard ancestral hall has been replaced with her.

it is ridiculous!

"you wanna die!"

Enraged that her purpose had been exposed and that she had been spoken to in such an unpleasant manner, the succubus suddenly transformed her head into a giant snake's head, flicking her long tongue and opening her mouth to bite.

Lin Qingquan swung his sword to meet the attack, but before he could even make contact, the snake demon's head suddenly slammed into the ground with a loud bang. He felt the side room above tremble again, and it seemed that it was about to collapse.

But Lin Qingquan and Meng Shulan had no time to worry about that. On one hand, they were anxious about the snake demon's cultivation level, and on the other hand, they were worried about Liu Liu and Meng Yanxu in the cage.

I can't get close to it or take it away, what should I do?

The snake was stunned when it hit the ground. Not only was it stunned, but Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan were also stunned, because the enemy had fallen before they even engaged in combat. What was going on?
Just then, a purple light flashed before their eyes, and upon closer inspection, they saw that the snake demon was bound by a purple rope. It didn't look like it was bound very tightly; its body, hands, and feet were simply wrapped around its body a few times and tied together, but the snake demon couldn't break free no matter what it did.

It roared furiously, "Ziji, you fucking get out here!" Ziji?

The couple exchanged a glance; it didn't sound like a human name. So, the snake demon was captured by another demon?
Infighting?

The two didn't quite understand, but they remained vigilant, one keeping a close eye on the snake demon and the other keeping an eye on the cage behind them.

"Oh dear, doesn't she pride herself on being the Fairy Willow? Why are you speaking so rudely?"

At this moment, a long-haired woman wearing a purple short skirt and silver-white stilettos descended gracefully from the entrance of the secret chamber above. Her two slender white legs were together, and the moment she landed, she waved her hand, sending the old man who was standing there dumbfounded flying out of the secret chamber and crashing into the courtyard above with a thud.

Then he smiled and looked at the bound snake demon, saying, "I didn't expect to see you here, Liu Zhu. You didn't say you were coming when the Demon King was selecting people back then. Why did you change your mind? And why didn't you even tell us you were coming? That's so unfair."

The snake demon called Liu Zhu had now returned to human form, and its face was just like that of Liu Xiangu, which made Meng Shulan feel extremely awkward.

Oh shit!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Zhu, what are you doing? Are you really planning to replace Fairy Liu and become some kind of Fairy Liu? Do you think you can do it?"

Zi Ji curled her lip in disdain. "You're not even on the same path. Do you think you can replace someone else and become an immortal just by changing your face?"
What a sweet dream!

Ignoring Zi Ji's taunts, Liu Zhu glared at her menacingly, "Zi Ji, I'll say it again, let me go."

"I can release you, but on one condition: you must first put the cage away and release those two little guys."

Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan looked at Zi Ji in surprise upon hearing this. What was this demon all about? Why was she helping them?
Liu Zhu squinted at Zi Ji, "You colluded with the human race, you betrayed the Queen?"

Zi Ji scoffed, "Betrayal? When they sent us here, did they even think about letting us go back alive? Liu Zhu, isn't it because you know this that you want to replace Liu Xiangu?"

Liu Zhu looked at her without saying a word.

Zi Ji didn't even bother to mention any collusion anymore, making it seem like she hadn't colluded at all.

She ignored it and instead smiled at Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan, raising her hand to greet them, "Hello, my name is Zi Ji. I know Miss Qi, and we're quite familiar with each other, so you two don't need to stand on ceremony with me."

This means that she came to rescue them specifically because of Xiao Qi.

After hearing her explanation, Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan knew who she was. Oh, she was the fox demon who had allied herself with Xiao Qi.

I heard about it more than two years ago, but I've never seen it and don't know what it's called.

Before Ziji and Meng Shulan could exchange more than a few words, Liu Zhu couldn't hold back any longer. "Ziji, take back your rope, I'll take back the cage, and release them."

Do you think I'm stupid?

The fox demon Zi Ji suddenly stopped smiling and stared coldly at Liu Zhu. "Although I haven't killed anyone here, I don't mind killing my own kind! Liu Zhu, once you die, this cage will lose its protection, and I can still release the two of them."
