Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 200 Visiting the Queen of Gu

"Commander, this Night City is extremely mysterious, and as you said, it has a very deep background—"

Meanwhile, the spies from the Demon Realm had already found a person named Hansha Guiyu in a town called Bailijing, and learned of the existence of Yemo City.

Night City has the strictest membership system; only by having a senior member voucher can one obtain even the lowest level of pass.

Following Teng Xie's instructions, the demon realm's spy disguised himself as a martial arts tycoon and spent lavishly, giving the Cold Sand Ghost Realm a considerable amount of money. In return, he obtained information about a holder of the Crimson Coral Easy Pass Card.

"————The transaction registration in Night City is divided into five levels from low to high: exotic stones, green jade, red coral, precious jade, and heavenly crystal. You need to continuously complete transactions in Night City to accumulate points and upgrade your transaction level. It is said that the highest level, Heavenly Crystal Easy Pass, can participate in exclusive rare auctions, which contain rare treasures.

"And what Yemo City said is probably true. The spies only investigated the outermost trading market and found that the Millennium Ginseng King, Vermilion Fruit, Lingzhi, or the sword techniques of high-level warriors in the Demon Blade World, the Jianyun Step of Bai Yu Changfengke, a master who was once quite famous in the martial arts world, and the sword techniques of Canghai Swordsman, etc., are only considered to be low to medium quality traded items in the primary market."

Ren Chenfu spoke for a long time, his expression full of surprise. The Central Plains actually had such a large and mysterious trading place, yet the Demon Realm knew nothing about it.

China is a vast and resource-rich land, hiding countless mysteries, but this Night City sounds truly formidable—can our spies determine its spatial coordinates?

Ren Chenfu shook his head. "Yemo City requires guests to wait on the banks of the West River, take the Welcome Pill, lose consciousness, and then be taken to Yemo City. Furthermore, Yemo City should be protected by a tight magic array. It should be a secret space, and our intelligence capabilities are limited, making it difficult to determine its location."

"Then let the spies continue trading. Money's no object. Of course, they need to exchange for something of equal value. The Demon Realm isn't going to be a sucker. As for the specifics of the trade, you should consult the Queen. Once the spy has leveled up, have him recruit another member. And once Devouring Buddha recovers, send him over."

Teng Xie wasn't worried at all about the spies not being able to improve their trading level. The Demon Realm had destroyed the entire Dao Realm and plundered countless Dao Realm sects. After Teng Xie took power, he continued to devour resources from the Bitter Realm. There were just too many good things to take advantage of.

He was worried that the spies were going too far and attracting too much attention, so he suggested that the Empress keep an eye on them and give her something to do so that she wouldn't be thinking about using energy to revive the ghost race all the time.

after.

Teng Xie's true form arrived at the foot of a quiet and beautiful mountain.

There, someone had created a large flower field, and a stone tablet stood at the foot of the mountain path, inscribed with the three large characters "Linggu Mountain".

On the stone tablet leaned a rather handsome swordsman, but he lacked energy and looked dejected.

The swordsman was holding a flower, muttering to himself as he plucked at the petals. Just as he reached the last petal, Teng Xie arrived in front of him and heard him say, "—You don't like me? Ah, that doesn't count, let's try again—uh!"

The swordsman threw away the flower, then went to pluck another, only to discover Teng Xie, and was immediately startled.

"Hey buddy, am I scary?"

Teng Xie discovered that the other party was completely unsuspecting and had only average martial arts skills. Although his physical constitution was decent, he had already passed the best period for improving his strength.

In other words, this swordsman's strength is really not that great, and without a fortuitous encounter blessed by fate, he won't have much of a future.

However, the swordsman had a kind face and a peaceful aura, suggesting he was a good person. He sized Xie up for a few moments and asked curiously, "Young brother, may I ask your name?"

My name is Teng Xielang, may I ask your name, sir?

"My name is Meng Baiyun. What brings you to Linggu Mountain, brother?"

Meng Baiyun clearly didn't pay attention to the developments in the martial arts world, as if Teng Xielang was just the name of a young swordsman.

Teng Xielang doesn't really have the aura of a villain or a big shot anymore. Although the big shots in the martial arts world all think he is a big shot, he has mastered how to empty his mind and hide his thoughts in his heart. The demeanor that others observe, the energy and mental fluctuations they sense are all just the emptiness he has placed on the surface.

Brother Baiyun, I have come specifically to request an audience with the Queen of Gu. May I ask if she is on the mountain?

"Well, Yuan Ji is on the mountain, but she doesn't like to be disturbed. What business do you have with Yuan Ji, brother?"

Meng Baiyun was very concerned about Teng Xie's purpose. Obviously, his muttering of "likes and dislikes" was directed at the Gu Queen, Fei Yu Yuan Ji.

I would like to ask the Queen of Gu some academic questions, as I actually have some knowledge of Gu magic.

Meng Baiyun was even more surprised. "Ah? Brother, you use Gu magic?"

I know a little bit, purely from reading some theories. Actually—may I ask, Brother Baiyun, are you a friend of the Queen of Gu?

Tengxie means, don't just doubt my intentions, what are you doing here?

Meng Baiyun puffed out his chest, "I am a close friend of Yuan Ji."

Ah, I see. Don't worry, Brother Baiyun, I won't cause any trouble for the Queen of Gu. I'm just here to ask for your guidance.

"Alright then, come with me, bro."

Seeing that Teng Xie was very polite, Meng Baiyun felt that he didn't seem like a bad person, so he took Teng Xie up the mountain.

Before long, a wide flat area appeared on the mountaintop, with several houses facing south. Outside the courtyard stood a towering tree, somewhat like a cherry blossom tree, but with more special petals that shimmered with a moon-white glow in the sunlight. When the wind blew, the petals fell in profusion, creating a truly beautiful scene.

The scenery was beautiful, but the people were even more beautiful. Under the shade of the trees, a delicate and radiant beauty, who looked like a doll, sat on a futon. Incense burned in a burner on the table in front of her, and the strings of a guqin were being plucked by her fair hands. The beautiful notes flowed quietly like a mountain stream.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the beautiful woman stopped what she was doing and calmly asked, "Brother Baiyun, who is this?"

"Ah, this is Brother Teng Xielang. He said he has come to ask you, Yuan Ji, for some knowledge."

"----Um?"

The beautiful woman was clearly not as uninformed as Meng Baiyun. After a slight pause, she realized who Teng Xielang was.

"It is the Demon Realm War General who has graced us with his presence. Princess Hiyohime has been impolite."

"What? Demon Realm War General?"

Meng Baiyun was startled again and looked at Teng Xie abruptly. "What kind of master is this? I've never heard of him."

Teng Xie smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I merely admire Your Majesty's knowledge and have come in a private capacity. I hope Your Majesty will not take offense. Brother Baiyun, you are too. We hit it off immediately. How about we only discuss our friendship and not our political stances?"

"————Oh, okay."

Meng Baiyun was still very surprised. How could he not see anything particularly amazing about Teng Xie?

Himeko asked, "May I ask what the War General wishes to discuss with me?"
