Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 86

The candlelight flickered, and the bamboo curtains in the courtyard rustled. Gongsun Yue leaned against the jade table, watching Butterfly King's knuckles, still gripping the hilt of his sword in his sleep. Suddenly, she felt ripples in the Biluochun wine on the table. When she looked up, Sheng Zong had already taken his seat, bathed in the night dew, his black crane cloak stained with a few petals of crimson.

"Huh?! I didn't expect it to be Beichen Yuanhuang!"

After rescuing Gongsun Yue and Butterfly Jun, Sheng Zong immediately transferred them to a safe place for resettlement. He also learned from Gongsun Yue the cause of the changes in Hongye Villa. Upon hearing that Beichen Yuanhuang now controls Yiliu and has made a comeback, Sheng Zong's face became extremely ugly.

There is a pawn shop...

I never thought that even the dead could be resurrected.

Although he also received help from the pawnshop, at this moment Shengzong still felt that the existence of the pawnshop was a hindrance.

"For some reason, Beichen Yuanhuang's skills have greatly improved. Big brother must not act hastily." Gongsun Yue advised.

Shengzong remained silent, saying, "When Butterfly-Sir recovers from his injuries, the two of you can retire. Shengzong will avenge the loss of the Zhonglie Palace and my second brother."

Gongsun Yue became anxious upon hearing this and quickly said, "Brother, those people and those things are all Gongsun Yue's responsibility. Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fifth Brother have all met with misfortune. Now the situation in the martial arts world is becoming increasingly chaotic. Wouldn't it be nice to put everything aside and retire with me and Butterfly Lord?"

"With you and Butterfly King?" Sheng Zong's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Gongsun Yue. "Don't you hate Butterfly King's noise around you? Why are you finally wavering now?"

"I..." Gongsun Yue was speechless for a moment.

Sheng Zong frowned slightly as he looked at Gongsun Yue, then threw a pair of jade beads from his sleeves in front of Gongsun Yue.

"I have never cared about your affairs with Butterfly King. You always have your own ideas. This pair of jade beads is a gift from me and a few brothers to you two. Leave Wulin now. This place is not suitable for Gongsun Yue."

After saying that, Sheng Zong turned around and left, leaving Gongsun Yue calling him without hesitation.

"Big brother..."

Gongsun Yue looked at the jade pendant on the table, then turned back to look at Butterfly King on the bed, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

Why, why did I try so hard to find a way out for you brothers, but in the end it still ended up like this? Brother, is the so-called great cause really more important than brotherhood?

Sheng Zong naturally had no idea of ​​the problem in Gongsun Yue's heart. After leaving the villa, Sheng Zong activated the pawn card, and a dark passage appeared. Sheng Zong stepped into it. Under the guidance of the ancient bronze lamp, he once again set foot on the territory of a pawnshop. In the lobby of the pawnshop, Li Xuanxiao, dressed in a black robe, sat upright on the armchair, looking at the newcomer with a playful look.

"Dear guest, nice to see you." Li Xuanxiao looked at Shengzong and greeted him. "What brings me to this pawnshop? I wonder what brings you here?"

"Is my second brother in the pawnshop?" Shengzong asked straight to the point.

When the pawn shop dropped the pawn cards in the past, Sheng Zong clearly remembered that he and Deng Jiuwu each received one. Combined with the news brought by Gongsun Yue, Hongye Villa was attacked by Yiliu, and Deng Jiuwu could not have abandoned Hongye and escaped alone. At this critical moment, there was no way that a pawnshop would not intervene.

"Oh, why did the distinguished guest mention this?" When Li Xuanxiao finished speaking, a figure in the pawnshop suddenly appeared in front of Shengzong. He was wearing a purple cassock and no longer had the cold murderous aura of the past. His temperament was very different, but Shengzong's face was familiar to him.

"Second brother!"

"This donor." Deng Jiuwu clasped his hands together in a salute to Shengzong. "Deng Jiuwu no longer exists in this world. The one before you now is Xingkong."

"Xingkong?" Shengzong looked Deng Jiuwu up and down, then turned his head to look at Li Xuanxiao and asked, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, what did my second brother trade and what did he get in return?"

"Give your life as a sacrifice, so that your beloved can live in peace for the rest of his life."

Li Xuanxiao never concealed any transactions within the pawnshop unless the circumstances were exceptional. Upon hearing the price Deng Jiuwu had paid, Sheng Zong's heart sank, and he had completely given up hope. He had personally experienced the pawnshop's dealings, and it was nearly impossible to extricate Deng Jiuwu from the pawnshop.

Hongye...A woman, is it really just like you, my second brother?

Shengzong looked at Xingkong for a long time, then turned to Li Xuanxiao and said, "If I want the pawnshop to return the items my second brother traded, what will I have to pay?"

"Well... if we're talking about objects, anything of equal value, such as the Holy Demon Embryo, the Son of God, the Son of Evil, or the power inherited from the Nuwa Immortal Spirit, is acceptable. As for intangible objects, you don't have enough value to exchange, unless you make the same deal as Xingkong."

Sheng Zun had never heard of the Holy Demon Embryo, the Son of God, and the power of immortal spirits, but Sheng Zun knew the Son of Evil very well. How could anyone who could be called the Son of Evil be an ordinary being? Such a result was not beyond Sheng Zun's expectations.

There is a pawnshop, which has never been a good place.

"Thank you for letting me know. Goodbye." Li Xuanxiao just nodded, watched Shengzong leave, and then looked at Xingkong.

"How are Bai Sanniang and Yuan'er?"

"The progress is very fast." Deng Jiuwu replied.

"Go ahead." Xingkong bowed and disappeared into the pawnshop lobby. Li Xuanxiao glanced at the system again. His accumulated Tongbao points were already close to unlocking his first Outer Realm trading channel.

“I don’t know what kind of world it will open up, and what kind of benefits it will bring.”

……

……

After walking out of the pawnshop, Shengzong looked up at the sky. The sky suddenly darkened and a pair of demonic eyes appeared in the air.

"Eye of Death and Delusion, what do you want from me?" Shengzong said, looking at the Demonic Eye in the air.

"We have found out the whereabouts of the righteous path. They are now working in pairs. Jianzi Xianji and Fojian Fenshuo, Tianxian Daozang and Aoxiao Hongchen are evacuating the people affected by the magic fire. This is your chance." A human voice came from where the magic eye was.

Shengzong, however, remained unmoved and said coldly, "Since both parties have agreed to cooperate, there's no reason for me to be the only one to take action."

"Hahaha." The Eye of Lost Delusion laughed a few times. "Of course. The Demon Realm will naturally treat its partners who cooperate with it in good faith. The Demon Realm has its own people to cooperate with you. It all depends on which side you intend to attack."

"Then Shengzong will treat my friend Jianzi well again," Shengzong said. "Also, there is one more thing I need. I need information about the Yiliu Black Cult."

"The Yiliu Black Cult? The Demon Realm will investigate this matter on your behalf."

"Since the Demon Realm's target is the Bitter Realm, all the forces in the Bitter Realm will be rivals of the Demon Realm in the future. There's no harm in knowing this in advance."

"I will go with the ghost to discuss this matter. Please."

Immediately, the Eye of Death disappeared, and the originally gloomy weather returned to clear again.

"My friend Jianzi, we will meet again."
