The next day, at nine in the morning. The An family’s ancestor and the other four guest elders were already waiting in the pavilion. Two of them were humans, and the other two were from the Wood Race and the Flower Race. Actually, these two races could be considered branches of the devil race. However, ever since the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the two races had gradually separated from the devil race.

Hehe… Our Pavilion Master has always been mysterious. Today, we can finally see his true appearance.”

“I wonder what level Pavilion Master’s cultivation is?”

I think he’s at least at the Void Refinement Realm.”

The two guest elders of the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan conversed simply. As for the An family’s ancestor and the other Divine Transformation human, they closed their eyes calmly. They had long known Shen Ping’s identity.

“He’s here.” When Shen Ping walked in, the charming Flower Race guest couldn’t help but probe with her divine sense, but she immediately discovered a layer of special energy interference on Shen Ping’s body. This made her eyes light up.

It could hide from Divine Transformation detection. Clearly, he had some methods. As for Shen Ping’s young appearance, she did not care. The higher his cultivation level, the more methods he could use to change his appearance. The other Wood Race guest elder was the same.

“Everyone, to be able to become a guest elder is a sign of trust in our True Treasure Pavilion. I won’t say any more pleasantries. Today, I’m going to see the City Lord. Everyone, you have to be mentally prepared.” Shen Ping’s expression was indifferent.

“City Lord?” The hearts of the four Divine Transformation guest elders, including the An family’s ancestor, trembled, but they quickly returned to normal. They cupped their hands one after another and said, “We will definitely do our best.”

Although they said that, he could not tell what they were thinking. They left the True Treasure Pavilion. Five minutes later, Shen Ping and the others arrived at the nearby Shixi Pavilion on the mountainside.

In the pavilion, a burly man with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist was sitting upright. Beside him stood an equally burly man. Although the two of them did not look like demons at all, the demonic aura emitted from their bodies was as thick as a mountain.

“I came late and made City Lord Shi wait for a long time. Please forgive me.” Shen Ping cupped his hands when he stepped into the stone pavilion.

Shi Hu even brought his late-stage Divine Transformation subordinates here. He was really very cautious. A Void Refinement Realm expert was a top-notch expert. Even if he came alone, it was enough to intimidate the An family’s old ancestor and the others.

Shi Hu laughed and said, “It’s fine. Please sit, Pavilion Master.” After sitting down, Shi Hu raised his wine cup. “This Shixi Pavilion was established by the human City Lord Jing, and this wine was brewed by the Jing family. It’s quite mellow and fragrant. Pavilion Master, please try it.”

Shen Ping glanced at the wine glass, then picked it up and drank it. The moment the wine entered his throat, the power of the strange beast in his body circulated slightly, wrapping and refining the wine. However, the wine did not have any poison. Instead, as it circulated, his aura fluctuated, and it was quickly sensed by Shi Hu and the other experts.

“Haha, I didn’t expect Pavilion Master to be a Nascent Soul cultivator. It really surprised me!” Shi Hu narrowed his eyes.

While the two guest elders of the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan were surprised, their brows furrowed imperceptibly. They did not care about his Nascent Soul cultivation, but the aura that had leaked just now made them know that the pavilion master in front of them was very likely a human. The humans controlled a large number of precious resources in the True Treasure Pavilion. It was very easy to covet them.

Shen Ping smiled and said, “City Lord, my strength is low. I was only lucky enough to obtain some materials. Please take care of my True Treasure Pavilion in the future.”

Shi Hu waved his hand casually. “The Pavilion Master must have some unusual methods to let the Spirit Race cultivators manage the True Treasure Pavilion Why would you need me to take care of you? I called you here today mainly to discuss something.”

“City Lord, please speak.”

The resources in the True Treasure Pavilion are what the cultivators of the various races need, and my Stone Tiger Clan is quite powerful in Gray Stone City. I wonder if Pavilion Master can let my Stone Tiger Clan transport the resources in the pavilion to various gathering places like Black Fiend Valley for trading?”

Shen Ping raised his eyebrows. “Oh, how should we distribute the gains from the transaction?”

“How about 8,2?”

“It’s not impossible to give up 20%…”

Shi Hu interrupted, “Not 20%, but 80%.”

Shen Ping smiled in surprise. “City Lord Shi, are you joking?”

Shi Hu raised his wine glass and took another sip. “Could it be that I like to joke?”

Shen Ping was still smiling. “That’s fine, but I have a condition.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Simple. I’m quite interested in City Lord Shi’s manor. 1 wonder if you can give it to me!”

Hearing this, Shi Hu laughed. “That manor belongs to the Jing family. I’m not comfortable living there, but no one has ever dared to covet my things. If Pavilion Master wants it, you have to show some ability!”

Four tiger-headed stone carvings immediately appeared around the stone pavilion. They were sentient ancient treasures. Compared to the Frost Wolf Clan’s Patriarch’s control, the pressure of these four tiger-headed stone carvings was even stronger. Shen Ping, the An Clan’s ancestor, and the other four guest elders immediately felt as if several towering mountains were pressing down on them.

Shen Ping did not look flustered at all. He poured a glass of wine for himself and drank it in one gulp again. “If the City Lord wants to see my ability, I’ll accept it respectfully!”

The beast-shaped puppet appeared, and its hooves and claws suddenly stepped on the stone tiger.

“Puppet?” As Shi Hu retreated, he stared at the strange puppet. He could originally sense a trace of danger and immediately shouted, “Shi Yu, attack!” Roar! Shi Yu under him roared and his body expanded. It instantly broke through the stone pavilion and turned into a three-meter-tall tiger-headed demon. A huge axe suddenly appeared in its hand. It raised its head and slashed at Shen Ping.

“Pavilion Master, be careful!” The An family’s ancestor and another Divine Transformation human took out their Dharma treasures and stood in front of Shen Ping. As for the two guest elders of the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan, they looked at each other and circulated their magic power to cast spells to ’ support their protective spiritual light.

Shen Ping took a few steps back and did not look at Shi Yu. He focused all his attention on the battle between the puppet and Shi Hu.

The beast-shaped puppet was extremely fast. In a flash, it arrived in front of Shi Hu. Even though Shi Hu dodged and blocked with his magic treasure, every time he blocked, a huge and strange force pierced through his body.

In just two or three attacks, Shi Hu felt that many of the meridians and bones in his body had broken. “What kind of puppet is this… It actually has such strength!”

In his shock, Shi Hu also transformed into his true form. He held two huge stone hammers in his hands and dodged while looking for an opportunity to attack Shen Ping. After all, as long as Shen Ping died, the puppet would naturally be useless. However, the puppet kept pestering him.

At this moment, Shen Ping was also quite surprised. “As expected of a great demon at the Void Refinement Realm. The strength of its body is not something a human cultivator can compare to.”

The attacks of the beast-shaped puppet carried the might of a strange beast. Although it was not even 1/10,000 of a true strange beast, its strength and penetration were very terrifying. Ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators would probably be severely injured in one strike, but this Shi Hu did not even vomit blood after fighting more than ten times.

Boom!

The powerful spiritual energy aftershock swept and shook the surrounding Tiger Head Stone defense. When the two guest elders of the Wood and Flower Clans saw that the puppet was actually on par with Shi Hu, they were shocked and hurriedly used their magic power to protect Shen Ping from the aftershock.

After all, the aftershock of the battle between the Void Refinement Realm and the Divine Transformation Realm could severely injure a Nascent Soul.

Moreover, if not for the Tiger Head Stone enveloping the surroundings, the surrounding mountains would have collapsed long ago. Even Gray Stone City, which was not far away, would have been affected.

Another dozens of breaths passed. The two guest elders of the An family were gradually at a disadvantage. Shen Ping knew that he could not wait any longer. More importantly, Shi Hu seemed to have already figured out the attack rhythm of the beast-shaped puppet. If this continued, it would definitely be able to approach him while dodging.

Psst. He flicked his sleeve. The silk blade appeared. The Nascent Soul in his dantian opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of pure dark golden strange beast power. Immediately, the silk blade trembled gently and turned into a translucent light trace that flashed.

The great demon at the Void Refinement Realm was very sensitive. The moment Shen Ping moved, it felt its heart palpitate. Almost without hesitation, the majestic demonic power in its body surged, and the ancient bronze bell quickly materialized from the surface of its body.

Clang! The moment the silk blade stabbed into the bronze bell, the heavy metal collided and rippled, causing space to tremble. However, in the next moment, Shi Hu’s pupils suddenly constricted. The translucent light mark actually pierced through the bronze bell and pierced its forehead at lightning speed.

“This, how is this… how is this possible!!”

Sensing the strange power wreaking havoc on his forehead, Shi Hu’s huge divine sense mobilized his demonic power to resist, but it was useless. In just half a breath, the meridians and dantian in his entire body completely shattered, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Even until its death, it could not figure out why the bronze bell could not resist the magic treasure of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Bam. He looked at the corpse of Shi hu that had fallen heavily to the ground.

The entire Shixi Pavilion instantly fell silent..
