Mortal Alchemy

A corpse was thrown in front of Meng Huang'er's shop.

A group of people righteously roared at Meng Huang'er:

"Your pills killed someone!"

"Pay for the life!"

Meng Huang'er's face paled for only a moment before her expression turned icy:

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

"You stinky woman, the pills you sold killed my brother, and you're trying to frame us instead?"

"Attack! Smash the shop and then defile and kill this stinky woman!"

Magical attacks immediately surged toward Meng Huang'er.

At the same time, a light yellow shield rose from the ground, enveloping the entire shop and blocking the attacks of these cultivators for Meng Huang'er.

"Kill!"

"Break this formation and avenge my brother!"

"Attack together, whatever good things we grab from the shop are ours!"

Seven or eight Qi Refinement cultivators, each wielding different magical artifacts, immediately poured out their spiritual power, smashing it against the formation shield.

"Rumble!"

Meng Huang'er's first-order formation shield didn't seem like it could last much longer, and it had already begun to totter, as if it would break at any moment.

Meng Huang'er held the second-order talisman that Chen Ping had given her in her hand.

She bit her silver teeth, her eyes filled with anger.

She dresses up all fragrant every day, so how did she become a stinky woman?

Which female cultivator doesn't value her appearance? Ever since she knew that she had no hope of establishing a foundation, she had spent a lot of money to maintain her appearance and skin. With the Rejuvenation Pill given by Chen Ping, she had maintained every inch of her skin to the extreme.

In the teahouse not far away, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the four great families sat here, coldly watching this scene, occasionally glancing at the City Lord's dojo, paying attention to someone's movements.

"When the time is right and the formation is broken, we should also show up to uphold justice."

"This woman's appearance and figure are not bad, she's a good seedling to be a concubine. Judging from her appearance and demeanor, she seems to be a virgin."

"Looking at her temperament and demeanor, she wasn't born in a small place, she might have come from a large force to open a shop."

"Hehe, since Brother Shang likes this type, then we won't kill her later, but capture her and take her back as a concubine."

Below, the fighting became more and more intense:

"Smash the shop! Snatch her back!"

Meng Huang'er was a little flustered, her lips slightly pursed: "Why hasn't Junior Brother appeared yet?"

"Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and the formation shield cracked upon hearing the sound, the light shield turning into pieces of broken feathers and scattering.

Seven or eight Qi Refinement cultivators immediately revealed ferocious expressions, rushing into the shop with excitement.

Meng Huang'er couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately activated the second-order talisman in her hand:

"Rumble!"

A majestic fire dragon emerged, rushing out from the shop!

The seven or eight Qi Refinement cultivators couldn't even let out a scream before they were swallowed by the fire dragon and burned to ashes!

Some Qi Refinement cultivators who were watching the show nearby with ill intentions were also caught in it, some dying and some suffering miserably.

In an instant, the entire Floating Light Market fell silent.

Above the teahouse, He Chengzhu and the others' faces were instantly covered with frost, their eyes filled with a chilling killing intent:

"Second-order talisman! She actually had such a trick up her sleeve!"

Han Yu would look in the direction of the City Lord's dojo, his brows furrowed slightly: "With such a big commotion, he still hasn't shown up?"

"Could it be that he wants to be a turtle to the end?"

Shang Yangxiu sneered, his gaze greedily and lewdly sweeping over Meng Huang'er's delicate body:

"Hehe, it's fine if he doesn't show up, then it's time for us to show up and settle this matter. I'll take her back first and taste what she's like."

Qi Refinement cultivators falling into the hands of Foundation Establishment cultivators have no power to resist at all.

Shang Yangxiu immediately flew down from the teahouse.

He fanned out a hand of mana, instantly extinguishing the embers of the fire dragon.

Meng Huang'er walked out of the shop and was immediately met with Shang Yangxiu flying down, her pupils shrinking violently:

"Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"Little girl, you sold pills that killed people, and now you've killed cultivators in the market, the crime deserves to be punished by death, but this seat sees that your appearance is not bad, follow me back to be a concubine and spend the rest of your life atoning for your sins, so you can avoid the death penalty." Shang Yangxiu grinned lewdly and immediately walked towards Meng Huang'er.

"Brother Shang, wait!" Han Yu seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly shouted.

"Swish—"

A streak of azure sword light flashed, standing right between Meng Huang'er and Shang Yangxiu.

This sword light was extremely fast, causing Shang Yangxiu's hairs to stand on end. If Han Yu hadn't called out to him, this sword would have landed on him.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction from which the sword light flew.

He Chengzhu's hearty voice resounded throughout the Floating Light Market:

"City Lord Chen, you're finally willing to show your face."

Not far away, Chen Ping walked over slowly, his expression calm:

"Chen was just out of seclusion, I've kept you fellow Daoists waiting."

He Chengzhu, Zhang Daosheng, Shang Yangxiu, and Han Yu all scrutinized, measured, and sized up this City Lord Chen.

A hint of fear flashed in their eyes, the power of that sword energy just now was really not low.

"This, is this the disciple of a great sect?"

"Mo Douguang was like this, and this Chen Ping is also like this..."

"The previous city lords didn't have such strong strength..."

Chen Ping walked up to the front and looked around at the scene: "What happened?"

His acting skills were not bad either, he definitely couldn't reveal his true relationship with Meng Huang'er.

Shang Yangxiu sneered:

"City Lord Chen, this woman sold pills that killed people, and now she has killed and injured more than a dozen people. As the city lord, you must handle this impartially."

"Pills that killed people?" Chen Ping's face turned cold: "Chen has only been in office for less than a month, and such a bad thing has happened in the market."

Immediately, he looked at Meng Huang'er with an icy gaze.

The latter's delicate body trembled, and she also tried hard to act: "That's not the case, please give this concubine a clean and fair outcome, City Lord."

"The pills that this concubine sells are all genuine and not counterfeit. These people came up and splashed dirty water, wanting to smash the shop and kill me."

Chen Ping's gaze was cold and deep: "Hand over your pills and let this seat examine them."

"Yes, City Lord." Meng Huang'er took out some pills, and Chen Ping also pretended to examine them.

Chen Ping: "There is no problem with the pills, maybe they wanted to take the opportunity to extort you, but there is no proof of death, so it has become a muddled account."

"How about this, a fine of five hundred spirit stones, use this spirit stone to compensate the families of the deceased cultivators, and this matter ends here."

He looked at Meng Huang'er and said, "Are you convinced by this treatment?"

Meng Huang'er gave a graceful salute: "This concubine is convinced."

She immediately counted out five hundred spirit stones and gave them to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping nodded: "Find someone to repair the shop yourself and continue to do business normally."

"In Floating Light Market, if anyone wants to do something wrong, they can report it to this seat, so that everyone knows that my Eastern Xuan Sect values rules the most!"

"The family members of the deceased can come to this seat's dojo to receive compensation."

He Chengzhu, Zhang Daosheng, Shang Yangxiu, and Han Yu's expressions sank slightly, but they did not refute Chen Ping.

This was just a trick to test Chen Ping.

Some Qi Refinement little cultivators, their deaths are just deaths, they are irrelevant to the overall situation, after all, they are cannon fodder.

The game of big people, the lives of small people.

From ancient times to the present, it has always been like this.
