Demon's Diary

Chapter 1416: Sword Intent

“Elder Yupo, I never thought that this adventure to the Demon Abyss would be a blessing in disguise for you to break through the bottleneck. It is really gratifying.” Huangfu Zhantian glanced at the veiled woman beside him and said with a smile.

“I was just lucky.” Huangfu Yupo’s tone was rather cold.

Huangfu Zhantian smiled lightly and didn’t care about Huangfu Yupo’s attitude.

“By the way, I wonder how Princess Ying is doing lately? This time we were able to successfully form an alliance with the 3 great families, but it was thanks to Princess Ying’s water mirror technique.” Huangfu Zhantian said.

“Thanks to Elder Zhantian for your concern. Ying’er has made great achievements this time. With the soul cleansing pill granted by Sir Demon Emperor, she has been practicing in seclusion at my place. I believe it won’t be long before her cultivation can improve further. It is even possible to break through to the Celestial State later stage.” Huangfu Yupo said calmly.

Huangfu Zhantian’s eyes flashed when he heard this, and he nodded calmly.

Next, they chatted for a few more words, then they said goodbye.

Huangfu Zhantian’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw the silhouette of Huangfu Yupo gradually disappear.

On that day, in order to ensure that the trip to Demon Abyss went smoothly, Central Imperial sent 3 great elders to go to Han State together. Although Huangfu Zhantian did not enter the Demon Abyss, he had been guarding outside the entrance of the secret realm.

He had also heard about the things in the Demon Abyss from Huangfu Yupo and Zhao Qianying, and he even knew a little bit about the situation in the Demon Abyss Tower.

However, he vaguely sensed that Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Yupo seemed to have hidden something from him, but Huangfu Yong did not seem to have the intention to ask further.

Huangfu Zhantian stood there and pondered for a moment.

In addition to contacting the 3 great families, there were more important things to do in this tribute ceremony. It even involved the foundation of the Central Imperial.

When he thought of this, he shook his head and walked away.

…

After Huangfu Yupo split up with Huangfu Zhantian, she familiarly walked around the palace and soon came to a secluded palace.

She stood in front of a quaint stone door and knocked on the stone wall a few times. The stone door slowly moved away.

Behind the stone door was a purple light portal that led to somewhere.

Huangfu Yupo stepped into the light portal, and she came to a vast space.

The space here had undulating mountains. The edges seemed to be boundless.

The space was filled with faint purple light. Pieces of faint purple auspicious clouds were suspended in the mid-air as if this space was an illusion.

Huangfu Yupo flew and came to a lake after a few seconds.

In a small suspended pavilion in the center of the lake, Zhao Qianying was sitting cross-legged. Her body was surrounded by purple light. From time to time, there were ripples flowing around her. She seemed to be practicing some kind of mystic arts.

When Huangfu Yupo saw this, she smiled slightly. She quietly flew toward the pavilion without causing the slightest movement.

However, Zhao Qianying still sensed something and opened her eyes.

“Master.” Seeing Huangfu Yupo, Zhao Qianying smiled and stood up quickly.

“Ying’er, your spiritual sense has become more and more keen. You can actually sense me. It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot in these days.” Huangfu Yupo said with a happy face.

“It’s all thanks to Master’s teaching.” Zhao Qianying smiled, stood up, and took Huangfu Yupo’s hand.

Huangfu Yupo gently stroked Zhao Qianying’s hair with a hint of kindness in her eyes.

“By the way, I have something to tell you.” Huangfu Yupo suddenly remembered something and said.

“Master, please tell.” Zhao Qianying was startled.

“Silly girl, have you forgotten what day is today? In 3 days, the tribute ceremony will be held. That kid Liu Ming has already arrived in the Imperial City.” Huangfu Yupo showed a smile.

Zhao Qianying’s eyes lit up, then she scoffed and curled her lips,

“I don’t know that frivolous man.”

“Silly Ying’er, judging from my experience, Liu Ming is definitely not a frivolous person. On the contrary, if he was really such a person, he wouldn’t tell us about the other girls.” Huangfu Yupo said with a spurious smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Qianying’s beautiful eyes flickered.

“Speaking of which, with Liu Ming’s ability, it’s normal to have a few confidantes. If he doesn’t have some charm, how can he attract our Ying’er’s attention?” Huangfu Yupo saw the change in Zhao Qianying’s expression and chuckled.

“Bah, who said I like him!” Zhao Qianying blushed and spat.

“Ying’er, don’t be petty. Liu Ming is a rare good match. Moreover, you asked me to conceal the matter between you and Liu Ming, so Sir Demon Emperor still doesn’t know about it. A few days ago, Lord Demon Emperor mentioned to me that he wanted to arrange a marriage for you. Do you plan to marry someone else?” Huangfu Yupo asked with a serious expression.

“No!” Zhao Qianying blurted out in shock.

“Okay, we can no longer hide the matter between you and Liu Ming from Sir Demon Emperor. I will find a suitable time tomorrow to mention this matter to Sir Demon Emperor, then we will have a good meeting with Liu Ming. Even if you have no intention of bonding a dual cultivation with him, you have to decide this in advance.” Huangfu Yupo said calmly.

Zhao Qianying’s beautiful eyes flashed and said nothing.

…

At the same time, Liu Ming also left Genix Garden and walked around the Imperial City.

From the jade slip given by the city gate guard, he learned that the Central Imperial City had a very strict hierarchy. The higher the demon rank, the closer the residence was to the inner city.

Naturally, the shops were of higher grade the closer they were to the depths of the Imperial City. Large-scale chambers of commerce and well-established shops were also concentrated in the Second City District. As for the Third City District, it was where the Huangfu Family lived, but no chamber of commerce dared to open a shop there.

Genix Garden was relatively remote in the Second City District, but with Liu Ming’s speed, it didn’t take long to reach the bustling street.

At this moment, there were countless families gathered in the Second City District. The 30 meters wide streets were also bustling with people, making it seem quite crowded.

The shops on both sides of the street looked very spacious and grand; much more prosperous than the shops in any city Liu Ming had ever seen before.

Liu Ming restrained his Celestial State aura and walked aimlessly on the streets. Occasionally, he walked into the shops to take a look.

Although Central Imperial City was known as the largest city in the Thousands Demons Continent, it was not easy to find one or two things that were useful to him at his level.

After Liu Ming strolled around for half a day, he only found a few spiritual herbs and materials that were of some use to him in one or two large shops, which made him quite disappointed.

It wasn’t strange. Things that could be useful to a Celestial State later stage cultivator/demon like Liu Ming could be regarded as a treasure among treasures. Even if it occasionally circulated in the market, it would be placed in auctions or some black markets. It would rarely be found in the normal shops.

However, he was not without gains. During this period, he got some useful information. For example, some large merchants planned to take advantage of this moment when countless aristocratic families gathered in Central Imperial City to hold some auctions and exchange meetings.

He had discovered that 3 auctions would be held in the next 2 days, so he planned to go and take a look.

The sky soon darkened, and street lights were dazzling on both sides.

Liu Ming spent half a day shopping. He was almost done with his fun and was about to return to his residence.

At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and looked at an inconspicuous shop on the street, which seemed to sell demonic weapons, magic weapons, and other items.

The shop front was only 9 meters, which was considered a relatively small shop here. There were no customers inside at this time.

Liu Ming frowned slightly, showing a look of doubt, and stepped in.

Although this shop was small, it was very clean and neat inside. There were rows of shelves with shining swords, axes, and other weapons that were covered with enchantments.

The shop owner was a white-robed middle-aged man in the Real Pellet State early stage. When he saw Liu Ming coming in, he hurriedly greeted.

“Dear customer, what kind of demonic treasure are you looking for? Our shop has a special forging master. If you need it, we can also customize it according to your requirements.” It was not easy for the shopkeeper to open a shop here. He saw that Liu Ming’s cultivation was not weak, so his tone was very humble.

“I just want to take a look.” Liu Ming said calmly, walking past the shelves in the shop and looking around.

“Okay, take your time.” There was a hint of disappointment in the shopkeeper’s eyes, but he still followed Liu Ming and said with a humble smile.

Liu Ming ignored him and walked casually through the shop, looking around constantly with doubt.

Just now, he felt a wisp of extremely pure sword intent coming from the shop.

That wisp of sword intent was so pure that it was even above Liu Ming’s Sword Maru. In the Thousands Demons Continent, there were always very few demons using flying sword magic weapons. This of course aroused Liu Ming’s interest.

However, as soon as he stepped into the shop, the sword intent disappeared without a trace.

After a while, Liu Ming suddenly stopped and looked at a green flying sword on a separate shelf.

This sword was about a foot long with a shimmering light on its surface. Some small scale-like patterns could be seen on the sword.

“What a good choice, Sir. This flying sword is called the Seven Menace Wind Spiritual Sword. It is forged from the wing bones of a Celestial State wind spirit demonic bird, then it was then tempered in the Nine Heavens Wind for decades. It is the treasure of our shop and only costs 2 million demonic crystals.” The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced it to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming glanced at it for a few times, nodded, and looked away.

The shopkeeper also had sharp eyes, knowing that Liu Ming was not dissatisfied with the price, but he did not like the flying sword, so he quickly introduced several better demonic weapons in to Liu Ming one by one.

As a result, Liu Ming showed a noncommittal expression and continued to walk around the shop.
