A man in black robes wearing a dog-head mask came out of the darkness and said to Gu Yuan, who was standing opposite them:
"I didn't expect it. It seems that you have a second thought.
However, no one in this area has been able to escape from our hands when they became our target.
You can't be an exception either.
Don’t blame me when you get to the Palace of Hell in the future.
If you want to blame, blame your kid for being too greedy.
If you had just been obedient and sold the mirror in your hand to Master Wu, wouldn't it be fine?
It also saves me an extra trip.
Sigh, you are so despicable! Tsk, tsk, when I think that you are so young and have to hand over your own life here, I really can’t bear to do it! Hahaha!”
The man in black robe wearing a dog-head mask and making sarcastic remarks to Gu Yuan was Wang Wu's subordinate, Xiao Jiu.
Gu Yuan was once again refreshed by the shamelessness of the people in this ghost city. What kind of bullshit logic is this?
If you take a fancy to other people's things and exchange them for the valuables at a bargain price, but others refuse, does that make them greedy?
Gu Yuan sneered, "You alone want to kill me?
Do you think you can do it?"
Xiaojiu said proudly, "There were people like you who questioned my ability before, but they were all dead.
After following Master Wu for so long, I, Xiao Jiu, have never failed!"
After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, he raised his sleeve and a dagger appeared in his hand.
"Today, I will let you have a long experience. This sword of mine is called the Soul-Chasing Sword. When the sword shines on a person's figure, there will be no missing hair.
This is a good baby!
Boy, if you kneel down on the ground and beg me now, and obediently offer up your mirror and your treasure bag, I can consider being kind and let you suffer less, and leave your body intact, how about that?"
Gu Yuan was so angry at Xiao Jiu. Where did Xiao Jiu get his confidence?
"If you kneel down and beg me now, I can consider keeping your body intact."
Gu Yuan said.
Xiao Jiu was furious: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. You asked for it yourself. Since you are so rampant, I can only cut you into pieces!"
With that said, Xiaojiu swung the soul-chasing sword towards Gu Yuan.
The sun shone on the sword, and the dagger emitted a colorful light. Xiao Jiu flipped his wrist, and the light shone on Gu Yuan.
"Hey hey hey, die!"
Xiao Jiu sneered and poured spiritual power into the dagger. The dagger flew out of Xiao Jiu's hand and shot towards Gu Yuanji.
At this time, Gu Yuan didn't care about hiding his clumsiness, took out a Qi Gathering Pill and drank it.
True Feather Sword Technique Sweeps the Barbarian Court!
"boom!"
The shattered wall-crawlers all over the sky fell to the ground one after another with a loud noise. Several men in black robes, including Xiao Jiu, who just thought they had a chance to win, were now lying on the ground like dead corpses.
Gu Yuan stepped forward and picked up the soul-chasing sword, looked at it carefully and put it in his pocket.
He never expected that after this trip, not only did he not sell the thunder mirror, but he also picked up an extra soul-chasing sword. However, another Qi Gathering Pill was wasted, which made Gu Yuan very depressed...
After coming out of the ancient house, Gu Yuan returned to the inn he had booked before.
This time he did not sell the thunder mirror in the ghost market, but instead attracted some people's covetousness, which gave Gu Yuan a bad impression of the ghost market in Scarlet Flame City.
Now that I have another soul-chasing sword in my hand, I have to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Gu Yuan was a little hesitant about whether to go further afield and find some ghost market supported by big forces to sell these two things.
Although a fee will be allocated for this, it is still easier than having to deal with this messy situation.
However, this may take some time, and the Secret Realm elixir of the True Fire Hall has just ended, and the arrangements for the outer disciples are within these few days.
Gu Yuan has made up his mind to join the Eagle Guard. What he needs most right now is to find the relevant person in charge. At this juncture, Gu Yuan does not want to travel far.
After much thought, Gu Yuan couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both needs. Gu Yuan could only go back to the inn first and then make further calculations.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, Gu Yuan saw a somewhat familiar figure next to the counter at the door of the inn.
A closer look at the clothes on this man revealed that he was actually the old man who sold him the ghost mask.
It's not that Gu Yuan has a good memory, but the old man's clothes are so strange. A dark robe is embroidered with dark patterns of various ghost masks using a special technique. It's hard not to remember.
.
There were tables and chairs nearby, but the old man selling masks was leaning against the counter opposite the door and taking a nap, as if he was waiting for someone.
When he heard someone coming in, the old man turned his head and looked up at Gu Yuan with a smile.
"Little brother, if you don't mind, how about the old man treating you to two drinks?"
After the old man finished speaking, he walked straight to a table with a plate of peanuts, and at the same time made a gesture of invitation to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan smiled, walked into the inn without hesitation, and sat down opposite the old man.
Immediately, a young boy brought a jug of wine to the two of them.
Gu Yuan asked casually: "What do you call the old man?"
The old man first picked up a wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Gu Yuan himself, and then replied with a smile:
"I'm ashamed to say that the old man has forgotten his name a long time ago.
Now everyone who knows me well in Red Flame City calls me Old Mask.
What do you call me, little brother?"
"Gu Yulin."
Gu Yuancai didn't believe that this old man had really forgotten his name.
Old Mask is at best a commonly used nickname.
However, when they met by chance, Gu Yuan didn't care who the other person's last name was. What was important was that the other person deliberately waited for him at the inn for what purpose.
If Gu Yuan guessed correctly, it was most likely for the thunder mirror in his hand or the soul-chasing sword he had just obtained.
The reason why Gu Yuan dared to drink with Old Mask was simple. If Old Mask wanted to kill people and seize treasures, he would not come to this inn to wait for him.
Since he came to this inn to wait for me and even treated me to a drink, it at least meant that the old man was somewhat sincere.
Therefore, Gu Yuan is not worried. After all, for Gu Yuan, as long as the price of this laser mirror is right, it will be the same no matter who it is sold to.
If he could sell it to the old mask, it would save Gu Yuan the trouble of traveling to another place.
Seeing that Gu Yuan remained silent, the old mask spoke again.
"What, you're not going to ask me why the old man is waiting for you here?"
Gu Yuan glanced at the smiling old mask, drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, and still didn't say anything, just looking at the old mask with a calm expression.
Gu Yuan felt in his heart that the old mask would naturally say what he wanted to say. Since he wanted to sell it off, he should sell it. He was not in a hurry anyway.
Gu Yuan felt that the difference between whether he asked or not was not big. Could it be that Old Mask could not tell because he didn't ask?
Wait a long time for yourself, treat yourself to a drink, and then leave because you didn’t ask?
