Chapter 314 The World of Pawnshop No. 8

Pawnshop No. 8 has existed in the mortal realm for countless years, helping the Dark Lord harvest countless souls.

Although countless souls were collected, many were rescued by the minions of the Lord of Light.

As time moved into modern times, Pawnshop No. 8 changed owners again, named Han Nuo, while the Lord of Light's subordinates disguised themselves as priests to stop Han Nuo from harvesting souls.

In the lobby of Pawnshop No. 8, Zhou Yongcheng appeared.

Han Nuo and Chen Jing were quite frightened by the sudden appearance of the person.

The pawnshop exists in another dimension, and no one wants to enter it without the owner's permission. Even the incredibly powerful priest cannot enter the pawnshop.

Now, a young Taoist priest has suddenly appeared in the pawnshop. Han Nuo has been in charge of Pawnshop No. 8 for many years and has the ability bestowed by the Dark Lord.

In addition to the abilities granted by the Dark Lord, Han Nuo also cultivates himself, making him quite powerful. Although he hasn't reached the Immortal Realm, he is still considered one of the top figures in the mortal world.

Han Nuo did not sense the presence of this Taoist priest who suddenly appeared; the Taoist priest seemed to be an ordinary person.

Can an ordinary person get into a pawnshop based on their own abilities? Definitely not.

Therefore, this Taoist priest is at least stronger than him, and may even be comparable to the owner of the pawnshop, the Dark Lord.

When the Taoist priest entered the pawnshop, the Dark Lord's avatar did not react at all, indicating that the Dark Lord's avatar was unaware of the Taoist priest's arrival.

Zhou Yongcheng sized up Han Nuo and Chen Jing. Han Nuo was tall and imposing, wearing the distinctive uniform of Pawnshop No. 8, and looked quite dignified.

"I wonder what business Changlai No. 8 Pawnshop has?" Han Nuo asked Zhou Yongcheng.

"Nothing much, I was just curious about the legendary No. 8 pawnshop, so I came in to take a look," Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.

Han Nuo and Chen Jing were speechless. They really wanted to call the police because someone had broken into their home.

Han Nuo was no match for someone who could enter the pawnshop without an invitation, and he couldn't possibly drive them away.

"Does the Taoist priest come from the realm of gods?" Han Nuo asked.

Only those from the upper realm can freely enter the pawnshop; even cultivators from the mortal realm who have reached the demigod realm cannot enter the pawnshop.

"No, I am a world traveler, freely traversing countless worlds, seeing the scenery and interesting things in each world."

What interests me about your world are the various pawnshops created by the Dark Lord.

Upon hearing this, Han Nuo's expression of shock was evident. In his understanding, the world consisted only of their world and the realm of gods, without any concept of the myriad realms.

Being able to travel freely between different worlds, one must be quite powerful.

Han Nuo's heart stirred. Although he knew that the pawnshop belonged to the Dark Lord, he did not know that the Dark Lord had other pawnshops besides Pawnshop No. 8.

Han Nuo wanted to ask Zhou Yongcheng about the Dark Lord, so he immediately got up and asked Zhou Yongcheng to sit down, while also asking Chen Jing to pour Zhou Yongcheng a cup of tea.

"Daoist Master, how does your strength compare to that of the Dark Lord?" Han Nuo asked cautiously.

Zhou Yongcheng smiled slightly, "A tiny bit more."

The world where Pawnshop No. 8 is located is not high-level, only mid-thousand level.

If we compare the Dark Lord's realm and strength with those of the Primordial World, it is only at the Taiyi Realm.

"You said the Dark Lord created many pawnshops. I wonder how many pawnshops the Dark Lord created?" Han Nuo asked cautiously.

At this moment, Chen Jing poured Zhou Yongcheng a cup of the best tea in the pawnshop.

Chen Jing placed the tea in front of Zhou Yongcheng and then stood behind Han Nuo.

"He built a total of nine pawnshops, and the one you are in charge of is the eighth, so it is called Pawnshop No. 8."

Besides the realm of gods and the mortal realm you inhabit, your world has many other realms. The pawnshops created by the Dark Lord are located in several of the largest mortal realms.

He didn't create the pawnshop to benefit people; he wanted you to collect pure souls for him.

Zhou Yongcheng tells Han Nuo about the purpose of the Dark Lord in creating the pawnshop.

Han Nuo understood. He had been running the pawnshop for many years and had traded many things. The Dark Lord gave very few rewards for trading ordinary items, but the Dark Lord gave the most rewards for trading high-quality souls.

"Master, how can I break free from the control of the Dark Lord?" This was what Han Nuo most wanted to know.

“Your soul has been controlled by the Dark Lord. Don’t even think about breaking free,” Zhou Yongcheng said, shaking his head.

Han Nuo suddenly stood up, walked to Zhou Yongcheng's side, and knelt down in front of Zhou Yongcheng with a thud.

"Please, Taoist priest, save me," Han Nuo said while kowtowing.

Zhou Yongcheng glanced at Han Nuo indifferently and said, "Why should I help you?"

Han Nuo was taken aback. Yes, why would someone help him?

Having managed the pawnshop for so many years, he knew that everything had a price, and if the other party didn't agree, it meant the price wasn't high enough.

"As long as the Taoist priest can save me, my life belongs to him."

Zhou Yongcheng shook his head slightly and said, "Your life is of no use to me."

Han Nuo felt desperate after hearing Zhou Yongcheng's words. If Zhou Yongcheng didn't save him, he would be controlled by the Dark Lord for all eternity and would never be free.

At this moment, Chen Jing, who was standing next to Zhou Yongcheng, also knelt down and said, "Can you save the boss by adding my life?"

Zhou Yongcheng looked at Han Nuo and Chen Jing; the two were quite interesting.

Chen Jing entered Pawnshop No. 8, and after spending a long time together, she fell deeply in love with Han Nuo. Han Nuo, however, was bewildered by Chen Jing's feelings for him, having pawned his love for all eternity.

But Han Nuo slowly found love again, and the two fell in love.

However, the Dark Lord seemed to be a little jealous and prevented them from being together, eventually locking them up.

Rescuing Han Nuo and Chen Jing would be a simple task for Zhou Yongcheng, but he didn't want to do it.

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and said, "I can free you two from the control of the Dark Lord, but I have conditions, and I don't know if you can accept them."

Han Nuo and Chen Jing stopped kowtowing and looked at Zhou Yongcheng expectantly.

Han Nuo said, "I will agree to any condition as long as I can break free from the control of the Dark Lord."

Zhou Yongcheng was speechless. Weren't they afraid of escaping one danger only to fall into another?

"I renovated Pawnshop No. 8, but the transactions will remain the same as before. You can pawn anything at the pawnshop."

The pawnshop I renovated is slightly different from the one before; people can now pawn things like lifespan, organs, love, and knowledge.

After you receive the items, you should use them to do good deeds.

For every good deed you do, you will gain a certain amount of merit, which can be used to diminish your spiritual cultivation.

When your cultivation dissipates to the point of becoming a mortal, you can use your merits to increase your cultivation again.

At that time, you will no longer be dark monks, but light monks with merit.

As pawnshop owners, you can not only use pawned items to do good deeds, but also use them to exchange for other people's good deeds.

Besides gaining merit through transactions, you can also gain merit by punishing those who have committed evil deeds.

Anyway, there are many ways to gain merit; it just depends on how you choose to do it.

So, are you going to agree or not?

Zhou Yongcheng smiled and looked at the two of them.
