Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 189

"Shopkeeper, why would you need the Four Realms Heavenly Origin?"

The portal opened again, and Hengdao Yuanbie, who had signed the contract, was sent back to the Four Realms by Li Xuanxiao, along with his pawn and his determination to turn the tide. As the portal disappeared and that figure vanished, Yan Qingcheng slowly asked from the side.

"The Four Origins of Qitian are the core elements supporting the existence of the Four Qi Realms, and their value is extraordinary, not to mention..."

"what?"

"In a resource-depleted place, what do you think the next step would be to survive?"

"This……"

The Yan family was once a prominent clan whose Spring Rain cultivation was no less than that of the Ghost Liang Army. Naturally, their teaching of their descendants would not be too bad. Yan Qingcheng also understood the implication in Li Xuanxiao's words.

"But aren't you afraid that the person who actually takes control of the Four Realms might go back on his word?"

"Oh?" Li Xuanxiao smiled upon hearing this. "Oh dear, yes, that would be a real problem for the pawnshop."

Although Li Xuanxiao said this, he did not show the slightest worry on his face.

When has a pawnshop ever engaged in transactions involving items that could not be recovered?

……

……

At the Yiliu Black Cult, on the Four Directions Platform, Bo Hanbo, entrusted by Mu Shaoai, came to convey the news of the attack on Guiliang Military Mansion. After learning about it, Beichen Yuanhuang dared not be careless. After thanking him many times and seeing Bo Hanbo off, she immediately summoned Huanyu Qizang to discuss strategies together.

Upon hearing that Guiliang Military Mansion had been attacked and nearly destroyed by the Otherworldly Demon Realm in a single battle, Huanyu Qizang also showed a solemn expression.

"With only one day left, if the Otherworld wants to gain the upper hand as much as possible, they may not let us go."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Bei Chen Yuan Huang nodded in agreement. “In the previous battles with the Otherworld Demon Realm, we have become a thorn in their side. Now that the Demon Realm is becoming increasingly powerful, I have an idea in mind that I want to discuss with the strategist.”

"Could it be..." Upon hearing this, the Universe Wonders immediately realized what was going on.

"To withdraw gracefully and turn the limelight into the shadows is indeed a brilliant move, but if one were to withdraw now, I fear that one would face much criticism and the reputation one has built up would be greatly diminished."

"Therefore, I intend to use this item to deal with the otherworldly demon realm, but when it is time to relocate, I will have to trouble the strategist to take care of it."

"This is something that the World's Wonders should do; Your Holiness need not be so polite."

Just as the two were discussing, outside the Four Directions Platform, the Yi Liu Sect members hurriedly reported that the Otherworld Demon Realm had sent an envoy. Bei Chen Yuan Huang and Huan Yu Qi Zang exchanged a glance, and Huan Yu Qi Zang then withdrew. A moment later, Tun Fo Tong Zi strode confidently to the front of the hall.

"The Devouring Buddha Child of the Otherworld, it's a pleasure to meet you, Pope Yiliu!"

"Insolence!" A member of the Yiliu Cult coldly rebuked, "How dare you be so rude in front of the Pope!"

"The people of the Demon Realm are ignorant of the etiquette of the Bitter Realm, which is not unacceptable to me," Bei Chen Yuanhuang said calmly from his high position. "I wonder what brings the Demon Realm's envoy here?"

Tunfo Tongzi remained standing with his hands behind his back, displaying an arrogant demeanor, and said, "I believe Yiliu has already received the news about Guiliang Military Prefecture. If you are unwilling to hand it over, the present state of Guiliang Military Prefecture will become Yiliu's future."

"Oh?" Bei Chen Yuanhuang showed no anger, but his voice grew colder. "The Otherworldly Demon Realm has clashed with my Yi Liu more than once or twice. Do you really think the Demon Realm has the upper hand over Yi Liu?" "With the righteous Yi Liu joining forces, it is indeed difficult for the Demon Realm to be defeated quickly, but if it is only Yi Liu..." Tun Fo Tong Zi did not finish his sentence, but only let out a cold laugh.

Aside from Bei Chen Yuan Huang, who else poses a threat to the Yi Liu Black Cult?

If it weren't for the imminent opening of the illusion realm and the reluctance to expend too much energy, the Otherworldly Demon Realm would have already launched a massive attack.

"Ha, is the Demon Lord so confident that as long as he obtains enough entry qualifications, he can truly master the five divine artifacts?"

“That’s none of the Pope’s concern,” said Tunfo Tongzi. “So, what about Yiliu’s reply?”

"An answer?" Bei Chen Yuanhuang sneered. Suddenly, a murderous aura erupted in the hall. The curtains fluttered, and Bei Chen Yuanhuang flew out, his palm striking directly at Tunfo Tongzi.

"Hmm?" Tunfo Tongzi's eyes narrowed, not expecting Beichen Yuanhuang to act so suddenly. He swiftly drew his Zhuyan Sword, the blade tracing a graceful arc in the air as it precisely met the black hand.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the shockwave spread outwards, instantly turning the tables and chairs in the hall to dust. The Buddha-swallowing boy felt an immense force surge through him, his arms went numb, and he involuntarily staggered back two steps, cracking the bluestone slab beneath his feet.

"In war, one should not kill the messenger. Is this the conduct of Yi Liu?" Tunfo Tongzi asked coldly, sword in hand.

Bei Chen Yuanhuang sneered, her demonic aura intensifying: "Demons, why bother with such superfluous manners? Since war has been declared, I will no longer concern myself with those unnecessary rules. Today, I will not kill you, but cripple your cultivation, and send you back to Yama Hanba—if the Demon Realm wants war, Yi Liu is ready to fight!"

Before the words were even finished, Bei Chen Yuan Huang made another move. This time, the wind from his palm was accompanied by the roar of a dragon. A black dragon formed from demonic energy coiled in his palm, and as he swung his hand out, the black dragon roared and charged toward Tun Fo Tong Zi.

The Devouring Buddha Child dared not be negligent, and with a flourish of his Zhu Yan Sword, he attempted to deflect the black dragon's attack. However, the black dragon's power far exceeded his expectations, and the sword flowers shattered the moment they touched its body. The black dragon's sharp claws viciously slashed at his face.

Even though he had already learned about it from Yama Hanba and witnessed it in person, Tunfo Tongzi was still terrified by Beichen Yuanhuang's demonic cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, several moves had passed, and with the help of Beichen Yuanhuang's palm strike, Tunfo Tongzi had retreated to the outside of the Four Directions Platform. However, on the outer perimeter, Yiliu's forces were already on high alert.

"It was a mistake for Yama, the Drought Demon, to send someone from another realm like you here."

"Is that so?" Even when surrounded, Tunfo Tongzi did not show much fear. He simply brandished the Zhu Yan in his hand, and demonic fire raged out, forcing back the Yi Liu generals who were charging forward.

However, Bei Chen Yuan Huang, radiating the aura of the Heavenly Demon Dragon, leaped out once more, striking Tun Fo Tong Zi's face with a palm strike. Tun Fo Tong Zi swung his sword in response, the power of which forced the Demon God of War to retreat several steps.

Just as Yi Liu's generals were about to charge again, a thunderbolt crashed down, splitting open the encirclement.

"Farewell, Pope Yiliu. I believe we will meet again soon."

Seeing this, Tunfo Tongzi smiled slightly and took the opportunity to leave the circle.

"Your Holiness, should we pursue them?" Ji Xiaoshuang asked from the side.

"No need," Bei Chen Yuanhuang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, let's prepare to act according to the strategist's instructions."

Yama, with your temperament, how could you possibly tolerate this?

I, the Emperor, will be waiting for the arrival of the Otherworldly Demon Lord at the Four Directions Platform.
