Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 108 The Pit of Sin

The Pit of Sin, a place that shelters the most heinous villains in the martial arts world, was founded by Mad Dragon Yishengxiao and was once known as the "Forbidden Land of the Martial Arts World".

Unlike other organizations in the martial arts world that gather villains, the criminals in the Sin Pit are independent and unrestrained. The only rule is strength, and everyone obeys only the orders of Mad Dragon. Therefore, Mad Dragon's Laughter has absolute authority in the Sin Pit.

Li Xuanxiao walked out of Youjian Pawnshop. His journey to the Pit of Sin was for the same purpose as the righteous path, the Holy Realm, and even the Otherworld Demon Realm—to obtain the Eye of Anuruddha, which could see into the Demon Realm!

As a businessman, Li naturally understood the principle of hoarding rare goods, and coincidentally, he was the one in the current martial arts world who knew better than anyone else where Anaru's eye was.

"Huh? Are we just going to walk in like this? If the shopkeeper has something he wants, shouldn't we reconsider? Going in like this is really..."

Yan Qingcheng followed behind Li Xuanxiao, looking at the valley not far away. Although she had never left the Spring Rain Realm, the name Sin Pit sounded like a place where vicious people gathered. Was it too dangerous to just swagger in like that?

But Li Xuanxiao walked with a leisurely pace, showing no sign of waiting, and said as he walked, "Since you are eager to travel the world and see different landscapes, why are you afraid of a mere pit of sin?"

Yuan'er, who was standing nearby, called out, "Sister Yan, follow along. Nothing will happen, don't worry."

"Ah, okay." Upon hearing this, Yan Qingcheng mustered her courage and followed closely behind Li Xuanxiao and Yuan'er. The three of them were getting closer and closer to the Sin Pit. Yan Qingcheng looked at Li Xuanxiao, who was walking in front, and although he had approached the Sin Pit, Yan Qingcheng still couldn't see that Li Xuanxiao had any intention of stopping.

Soon, the three of them could see the patrol line formed by the villains in the Pit of Sin.

"This...shopkeeper..." Yan Qingcheng hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"I'll say it again, don't worry." Li Xuanxiao said calmly, "You are not a fortune teller, nor are you a witch or a jinx. If you remove your ability to see the future, you are just an ordinary young lady from a respectable family. If you want something, I will have my own plans. If you are really afraid, you can stay on the outside."

"I..." Yan Qingcheng shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "Since I have promised to follow you, how can I give up like this? If you hadn't saved me, I would have been burned to death by the villagers long ago. This life should belong to you, and I will never waver."

"what."

Li Xuanxiao chuckled lightly, and the three of them continued forward. Yan Qingcheng followed closely behind Li Xuanxiao, while Yuan'er was fearless. Soon, the group came into the sight of the patrolling guards. However, to Yan Qingcheng's surprise, the patrolling guards completely ignored the three of them.

"How could this happen..."

"Just some petty tricks, nothing to brag about."

Li responded casually, easily passing through the intricate defenses formed by numerous villains within the Pit of Sin, and entered the Pit of Sin directly.

Compared to the outer area, the Pit of Sin is even more chaotic, with all sorts of buildings scattered haphazardly in the valley, showing no discernible order. However, considering the management here, such a layout is not surprising.

Yan Qingcheng watched as Li Xuanxiao led her and Yuan'er through the Pit of Sin. They saw many people along the way, but they ignored them. Li Xuanxiao was so familiar with the place that it was as if he were coming home.

Could it be that the shopkeeper came out from this place earlier...?

“Of course not,” Li Xuanxiao suddenly said.

"Ah? Ah!" Yan Qingcheng was taken aback at first, then her cheeks flushed red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "I, shopkeeper, I..." "A little curiosity is nothing to be ashamed of, why be so nervous?" Li Xuanxiao said, "Whether here or when you return to the pawnshop in the future, there is no need to be so restrained."

As he spoke, Li Xuanxiao slowed his pace, for he had already arrived at his destination.

In the past, the Anaru Eye was stolen by Kui Liaoxuan, a master thief from the Chunlin Realm. Kui Liaoxuan was later killed by the two major families of the Chunlin Realm, Yan Family Fortress and Gui Liang Military Mansion. To escape the pursuit of the Yan and Gui Liang families, his wife and children fled into the Pit of Sin with the wealth and treasures accumulated by Kui Liaoxuan. The dilapidated thatched hut in front of Li Xuanxiao is the place where Kui Liaoxuan's wife and children lived.

Ignoring whether there were other people in the room, Li Xuanxiao walked straight in. The room was empty. Li Xuanxiao's eyes swept across the room, and he instantly saw through the traps and disguises set up inside. After dismantling the traps with a flick of his finger, a wooden box fell into Li Xuanxiao's palm. Inside, there was not only the gem-like Anuruddha Eye, but also several other rare items, all of which were still of some value according to the pawnshop's assessment. Manager Li naturally did not stand on ceremony and took them all into his pocket.

"Is that what the shopkeeper came to take?" Yan Qingcheng asked, turning her head.

"Okay." Li Xuanxiao nodded. "Now that we have the goods, let's leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Pit of Sin suddenly stirred with strange noises, and the death official shouted, conveying the orders of the chief sinner within the Pit of Sin.

"The boss has ordered that the banquet start a quarter of an hour earlier. Everyone, get moving! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

"This..." Yan Qingcheng's mind was in turmoil as she looked at the suddenly bustling Pit of Sin.

Li Xuanxiao remained unmoved as he watched the suddenly bustling and lively Pit of Sin. He simply put the wooden box into the system's space, and then a dark passage appeared before them.

"Let's go."

In the territory of Mad Dragon Laughing, nothing strange or bizarre could happen, and he had little interest in investigating. Now that he had achieved his goal of visiting the Pit of Sin, there was naturally no need to linger any longer.

Li Xuanxiao believed that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to witness the demeanor of the number one criminal.

After all, the day Emei descends to earth, the Mad Dragon will inevitably emerge from seclusion and appear in the world!

Just as the three stepped into the passage and disappeared into the Pit of Sin, at the very center of the Pit of Sin, in the highest seat of the huge arena, a figure resembling a coiled dragon, dressed in green robes and with green hair, grabbed a round object from a plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a plate of eyeballs, even stained with blood.

The chewing motion abruptly stopped the moment the three disappeared into the pit of sin. They patted their heads, their minds filled with unanswered questions.

"Strange, why did I feel something dirty suddenly appear in the Pit of Sin just now, and then it disappeared in an instant? But no, what could be dirtier than the Pit of Sin?"

"Oh no, no, the Sin Pit is the cleanest place in the world, only slightly worse than Ping Shan, don't you think?"

"Never mind, never mind that. Come on, hurry up and call someone up."

He seemed to be talking to himself, yet he was in a state of insane madness; this was none other than the chief sinner of the Sin Pit—the Mad Dragon's Laughter!
