"No... I don't know." The middle-aged man replied timidly, his tone much lower.

"You don't know anything, so you want to decipher it? Let me tell you, that prescription was given by the Blood Demon Xuan Emperor during the ancient catastrophe! Humph, you are now the leader of the demon clan, and you don't even understand this, so you just think about it.

." The old woman did not save face for the leader of the demon clan just because she had subordinates.

"Then...what does the ancestor mean...?" The middle-aged man did not dare to express his anger. He stood aside and asked cautiously.

"How many people tried to crack that recipe back then, but no one succeeded! Dan Chenzi, oh, he is the master of the current master of the Dan Palace, a ninth-grade alchemist. I heard that there was nothing you could do. Just rely on you...

..? Come on down, everyone, don’t waste your time.”

"No!" Except for the middle-aged man, everyone in the hall retreated.

"Huan'er, it's not that our ancestors want to blame you in front of everyone. Pills are not the specialty of our demon clan. Besides, the person who refined this potion obviously got the inheritance from the old devil. Since he is

In the hands of the Merchant Alliance, we still have some shares in the Merchant Alliance, so why should we join in the fun? Isn’t it better to let them do the fuss and let us watch the excitement and enjoy the benefits?" The old woman enlightened the demon clan leader Zhan Huan.

.

"The ancestor is right." After being prompted by the ancestor, the middle-aged man suddenly became enlightened, "Should we send some manpower to secretly help the merchant alliance when necessary?"

The old woman nodded, with a happy smile on her face: "At last you are not confused."

"Sigh, our demon tribe should have taken advantage of it after the catastrophe. The strengthening of the five-star emperor tribulation is very beneficial to our demon tribe. It's a pity that the saint has fallen..." The old woman suddenly

sigh.

"Ancestor, I have used various channels to find out about the saint in various planes..."

"The birth of the saint is God's will... It depends on whether God will favor my demon clan... I am old, so I can only try my best to protect my demon clan..."

After saying that, he turned around and walked slowly behind the curtain.

The mysterious shadow alliance

In a small but exquisite room, two masked men appeared.

"How's the situation outside?"

"All failed. They are all trying to find out Xiao Yan's whereabouts."

"It must be in the hands of the Merchant Alliance. Have we found it?"

"No, there are no clues at all. I only know that Xiao Yan came to find the Yao Clan, but the Yao Clan did not see him."

"How's it going over there in Dizhou?"

"The Xiao Clan has no news about Xiao Yan. Should we control the Xiao Clan and force Xiao Yan to show up?"

"No! Firstly, it will not do us any good, and secondly, it will expose us. The one who is most interested in Xiao Yan right now is the Dan Palace. They have already sent people to find us to help them find out Xiao Yan's whereabouts."

"Then what do we do?"

"Do your best to find out. We will not wade into this muddy water, but we will muddy the water and let them fight."

"Yes, I understand."

Demon clan, residence of Qing Haoran in Juxicheng

Qing Haoran sat thoughtfully. Since receiving the Blood Demon Order and the Blood Demon Ring, his strength has increased rapidly and has now reached the peak of six stars.

Qing Haoran picked up a bottle of Yiwei Qingling Essence, smelled it with the tip of his nose at the mouth of the bottle, and said with some worry: "It seems that Xiao Yan is in trouble this time..."

Qing Mu'er sat aside, her eyes tightened when she heard Qing Haoran's words: "What does the merchant alliance want to do with Xiao Yan? No matter how many potions there are, how much can Xiao Yan refine? It's better to buy two five-star magic cores for the money.

many."

"What do you know? The Merchant Alliance is trying to force Xiao Yan to hand over the prescription, refine it in batches, and control the market for the elixir. The Merchant Alliance has been thinking about this for tens of thousands of years. It's not a secret. It's just in the hands of the ancestor emperor.

Those unique recipes can definitely be done." Qing Haoran analyzed Qing Muer.

"Wow, no wonder he refused to give him anything. It turned out that he got such good things from the ancestor emperor! Brother, let's go find Xiao Yan and get the prescription back. Let's control the market for elixirs, okay?

?That can make a lot of money." Qing Muer's eyes flashed with light, as if she saw a lot of money piled in front of her eyes.

"Nonsense, can we do that?" Qing Haoran scolded.

"That originally belonged to the Ancestor Emperor..." Qing Muer pursed her lips and argued in a low voice.

"That was the reward for the blood demon order given by the ancestor emperor to Xiao Yan. Do you think it is the blood demon order that is more important or the prescriptions?"

"But now Xiao Yan has been captured by the Merchant Alliance. We have to rescue Xiao Yan. It is better for the Merchant Alliance to benefit us..." Qing Muer said unconvinced.

"Ahem..." Seeing the two brothers and sisters arguing endlessly, the second elder on the side coughed lightly, "I think Xiao Yan is also a stubborn person and will not hand over the prescription easily. The prescription should not have reached the merchant alliance yet.

In my hand, if this happens, I'm afraid Xiao Yan will be in more than just trouble..." He is a person who has experienced the catastrophe of heaven and earth, so his experience is naturally much deeper.

When Qing Haoran heard this, his expression changed and his brows immediately furrowed. It seemed that things were worse than he imagined.

After thinking for a long time, Qing Haoran stood up and said, "Let's go meet Zhen Bufan for a while."

............

Business alliance, auction house, special room for the president of the business alliance

"Haha, the Demon Emperor is here, welcome." Zhen Bufan warmly received Qing Haoran and his party.

"People from the Merchant Alliance told me that you were at the auction house, so you came uninvited. President Zhen can't blame you for being abrupt."

"Hey, I can't even invite any distinguished guests. The Demon Emperor is too polite. Everyone, please take a seat! Let's serve tea!" Zhen Bufan greeted Qing Haoran and others while mentally guessing the purpose of their coming here.

"I wonder what urgent matter the Demon Emperor has in rushing to see Zhen?"

"Haha, the president must have guessed my purpose of coming, right?" Qing Haoran sat in the guest seat and looked at Zhen Bufan and said calmly.

"Please also ask the Demon King for advice."

In the past, the president of the Merchant Alliance would not have been so polite to Qing Haoran, but now that Qing Haoran has received the Blood Demon Order and has become the new Demon Emperor, he will naturally be respectful.

"I'm here for Xiao Yan." Qing Haoran said his purpose and looked at Zhen Bufan.

"Xiao Yan? The Xiao Yan who gave you the Blood Demon Order?"

"Yes, that's him. Please tell me, President Zhen, where Xiao Yan is now."

"The Demon Emperor asked the wrong person. How do I know where this Xiao Yan is now? I don't know him." Zhen Bufan's expression did not change at all and he answered calmly.

"President Zhen, the clear spirit liquid you are auctioning is the unique formula of my ancestor emperor. Only Xiao Yan has entered the ancestral ruins. No one can refine this clear spirit liquid except Xiao Yan. What can you say?

I wonder where he is?" Qing Haoran's voice became a little stern.

"Demon Emperor, it's wrong to say that. I think the Demon Emperor also knows that our auction house only sells things without asking about their provenance. This is our rule. We don't know who is auctioning the clear spirit liquid.

It's clear." Zhen Bufan is also well-informed and can answer questions fluently.

"Okay, President Zhen, we are all sensible people, so there is no need to fight. I know the thoughts of the Business Alliance. I, the Demon Clan, are also one of the shareholders of the Business Alliance. It is said that this matter will also be good for my Demon Clan...

..If the president doesn’t admit it, then don’t admit it. However, I have to explain a few things clearly to President Zhen.” Qing Haoran doesn’t want to be entangled with Zhen Bufan anymore. In this situation, Zhen Bufan is required to hand over Xiao.

Inflammation is obviously impossible.

"First of all, since these prescriptions were passed down to Xiao Yan by my ancestor, they belong to Xiao Yan, and we, the demon clan, do not want to covet them; secondly, I don't care how the merchant alliance wants to cooperate with Xiao Yan, as long as Xiao Yan himself is willing

That's fine. However, I don't want anyone to force Xiao Yan to do something he doesn't want to do, and I don't want anything to happen to Xiao Yan. The president may not know yet, but Xiao Yan and I are brothers, and he is from my demon clan.

My benefactor, if I hear that something bad happened to Xiao Yan, no matter who it is, I will put the blame on your merchant alliance, and my demon tribe will fight your merchant alliance until death!" Qing Haoran said solemnly.

Zhen Bufan said, his eyes full of determination.

Hearing this, Zhen Bufan smiled bitterly and said solemnly to Qing Haoran: "Don't worry, the Demon King, if we have news about Xiao Yan, we will do our best to protect his safety and will never harm him. If necessary,

When the time comes, please ask the Demon Emperor for help."

Qing Haoran stared at Zhen Bufan for a long time, nodded silently, stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Zhen Bufan's hand, and said goodbye.

As soon as Qing Haoran left, Zhen Bufan immediately summoned Zhen Ni and Le Shaolong.

"Now that all the forces are targeting Xiao Yan, we are under great pressure. Please tell us your opinions." Zhen Bufan said to the two of them.

"Why bother? Just kill him and you will have all the old Demon Emperor's prescriptions. Maybe you can also get a lot of rare treasures." Le Shaolong said in a low voice and decisively.

"No, the Demon Emperor Qing Haoran has just come to see me. If anything happens to Xiao Yan, the Demon Clan will put the blame on us and fight us till death."

"Have we really become his free bodyguards?" Le Shaolong said with a wry smile.

"How about we talk to Xiao Yan directly and hope he can cooperate with us." Zhen Ni gently rubbed her face with her white fingers and said softly.

"I guess it's difficult. If it were you, Xiao Yan, would you agree easily?" Le Shaolong disagreed with Zhen Ni's suggestion.

"Let's explain the stakes and his current situation clearly to him. I think he will consider it." Zhen Ni still insisted on talking.

"Before the danger is extremely high, do you think Xiao Yan can believe it? Besides, he has a big brother like the Demon Emperor..." Le Shaolong still felt that talking would not work.

Zhen Bufan was sitting on a chair. When he heard Le Shaolong's words, his eyes flickered, as if he had caught some inspiration and was thinking about it.

"Shaolong, you reminded me. Let's talk as Ni Yatou said, but not now." Zhen Bufan said, "Isn't the Dan meeting going to be held in advance? This is obviously for Xiao Yan.

, we will use our strategy. Tell Xiao Yan the news about the Alchemy Meeting, I think he will definitely go. There is no alchemist who doesn’t want to participate in the Alchemy Meeting. Let’s do this, this, this..."

"President, what a great idea! But I'm worried, what if Xiao Yan's conditions are too high?" Le Shaolong raised a new question.
