Chapter 1624 Resurrection

Eight summoned beasts again, a super artifact again, and a top-grade strange fire again...

Ruan Yu's astonishing strength had deeply shocked every powerful figure present.

Seeing that she had vanquished the demon, the powerful figures all stopped setting up their formation: "Your Excellency, shall we continue setting up this demon-subduing formation?"

Ruan Yu: "No need." Anyway, we can't destroy that high-level demon.

The powerful figures were ashamed: "..."

Judging from Ruan Yu's expression, it seems she already knew that they wouldn't be needed.

Although they felt slighted, they felt no resentment whatsoever. Instead, they were preoccupied with how to cultivate a good relationship with Ruan Yu. After all, she was a top-tier expert!

Making friends with someone like that will definitely bring you many benefits!

"Your Excellency, I am the city lord of Dark Night City. You have truly helped me a great deal this time! If it weren't for your assistance, that monster would probably have already wreaked havoc on Dark Night City! I wonder how many people would have died? I have prepared some small gifts, and I hope you will accept them." The city lord of Dark Night City stepped forward, seizing the opportunity.

He took out all his savings, stored them in a spatial ring, and handed it to Ruan Yu.

The other powerful individuals with him deeply felt the sting of being betrayed: "?!!"

Well, you rascal! No wonder you suddenly asked them for money! You even said the more the better, that you needed it urgently? So that's what you were after!

What a scheming person!

They did want to prepare some "small gifts" for Ruan Yu, but all their treasures had been "borrowed" by the Lord of Black Night City!

They're absolutely furious!

Ruan Yu didn't stand on ceremony. She had indirectly saved the lives of so many people in Black Night City, which could be considered a great help to the city lord of Black Night City.

It is only natural to accept such a generous gift.

Seeing this, the powerful figures from the other cities also sent gifts: "Sir, I am from the neighboring city of Mo."

“I’m from next door too, but not Mo City, I’m from Dongyang City.”

Ruan Yu accepted everything without question.

Taking the opportunity, the powerful figures invited Ruan Yu: "It's getting late. Why don't you come with me to Dongyang City for the night? Our restaurants in Dongyang City are the most luxurious in the surrounding cities! Staying here will make you feel right at home!"

"You people of Dongyang City are so insincere! How can you let Your Excellency stay in an inn? Your Excellency, please come back to Mo City with us! We'll take you directly to the City Lord's Mansion!"

The city lord of Dark Night City, his face dark, pulled the group away: "Go away! You're not going anywhere else, you're staying in my Dark Night City!"

Do these people think he's dead?! How can they so blatantly snatch someone away?

“There are monsters in your Dark City; it is not suitable for you to live here.”

Seeing that these people were about to start arguing, Ruan Yu said helplessly, "Everyone, please go back. I have some matters to discuss with the Lord of Black Night City."

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.

The Lord of Night City was delighted, his smile never fading: "You can just call me Little Black."

He was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

Xiao Hei... It sounds quite catchy, but it sounds like a dog's name no matter how you look at it.

Never mind, as long as Ruan Yu remembers me, it doesn't matter what I'm called.

"Pfft..." The powerful figures from the other cities couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Before they left, they didn't forget to add, "Sir, you must come to our Mo City if you have the chance!"

"Your Excellency, please come to Dongyang City first. Trust me, the delicious food here will surely make you want to stay forever!"

After everyone leaves.

The city lord of Night City dismissed several powerful warriors around him.

With a serious expression, he asked, "What matter do you wish to discuss with me?"

Ruan Yu never liked beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point: "The thing I just killed was called a demon."

The city lord of Night City immediately showed a look of horror: "A demon!"

When he was very young, he once flipped through a book that specifically recorded information related to demons. He was engrossed in reading it when his father, the former lord of Night City, discovered him and confiscated the book.

His father told him that it was just a storybook, and that there was no such thing as a demon in the world.

He believed it.

Therefore, upon hearing the word "demon" again, the Lord of Night City felt as if a corner of his long-buried memories had been lifted.

"It seems you know about demons." Ruan Yu was quite surprised.

The Lord of Night City shook his head and told Ruan Yu everything he had just thought of: "Now that I think about it, my father lied to me back then. He most likely knew about the demons!"

"Sir, why don't we talk as we walk?" The Lord of Night City felt extremely uncomfortable staying in this black market all the time.

It felt as if several ghostly spirits were floating around me, sending chills down my spine.

Indeed, there were several ghosts wandering around.

They were all people who died through blood sacrifice, and Ruan Yu even saw a familiar face.

Black market manager.

The supervisor's soul, which had been wandering aimlessly, suddenly saw Ruan Yu. Like a wolf eyeing meat, its eyes lit up and it pounced.

Before it could even bare its teeth, a wisp of demonic power overflowing from the Hundred Ghost Banner wrapped around it and tightly bound it.

In an instant, the supervisor's soul vanished into nothingness.

Ruan Yu frowned. She remembered that when the black market owner killed the manager, he crushed the manager's soul along with the body.

But why is the supervisor, who should have been completely destroyed, now appearing as a ghost?

Could it be that the black market owner didn't kill the manager at all, but just put on a show for her?

impossible.

The idea was barely out of his head when Ruan Yu rejected it. If the black market owner wanted to protect his supervisor, he would have just said so; there was no need for this whole charade.

Moreover, Ruan Yu witnessed the supervisor's death, so there was no possibility of it being faked.

Things seem to have become more complicated and confusing.

As Ruan Yu walked out of the black market, her right eyelid twitched incessantly.

This is an ominous sign.

"Your Excellency?" Seeing Ruan Yu stop, the City Lord of Black Night City also stopped and asked, "Have you discovered something amiss again?"

"I hope I'm just overthinking it." Ruan Yu couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she stopped thinking about it.

She asked, "Do you mind if I set the black market on fire?"

"Of course I don't mind! To be honest, I've wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately I can't beat the Black Market Lord." Xiao Hei smiled sheepishly.

Ruan Yu threw out a phoenix fire.

He watched as the flames destroyed everything in the black market before snapping his fingers.

The phoenix fire has gone out.

"Your Excellency, was that the legendary Phoenix Fire just now? It truly is inexhaustible! It can burn anything!" Xiao Hei looked at Ruan Yu with eyes full of admiration.

Ruan Yu was puzzled: "What's so special about Phoenix Fire?" It's not like we're on a low-level continent where phoenixes are rare, so Phoenix Fire is a rare sight.

In advanced continents like the Beast Taming Continent, the one thing that is most abundant is the innate divine beast, the phoenix.
