Chapter 1027 - Unruly

“He is really too aggressive. If he were in our place, I would have killed him thousands of times,” Ye Longyuan said furiously with the young trader’s expression in his mind.

“We’d better be careful since we’ve just arrived in the Sea Dragon Star Area and cultivators here are much more powerful than those in the Kunlun Immortal World. Compared with cultivators at the Yuan Ying Stage, who are the high-end force of the Sea Dragon Star Area as the person we met on the way said, cultivators at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage and Middle-Stage are really common. In the past, I thought that cultivators on the earth are the strongest, followed by those from the secular world, Ancient Mine, and Kunlun Immortal World. Now it seems that I am totally wrong,” Yan Chen said and sighed softly.

“It’s all because that we are not powerful enough. If Zhang Hanyang were here just now, he would have already killed the guy who was so disrespectful to us,” Ye Longyuan said while scratching his hair.

“You are not comparable with him.” Yan Chen chuckled. “We are not so powerful as him. He could even fight against cultivators at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage when just arriving in the Kunlun Immortal World. Besides, he is not as tricky or arrogant as you said but very low-key. He always fights for others around him but not himself these years. Once he fights for himself, he will fight to the end.”

“You haven’t seen right through him. Zhang Hanyang is very conceited actually. He cares about nothing in the world and thinks common people’s lives are worthless. You don’t know the feeling I got when I saw his expression before. He is an extremely arrogant person at his core,” Ye Longyuan immediately retorted.

“You don’t understand,” Yan Chen said as he glanced at him. Then he walked toward a stall tens of meters away. When he went nearer to it, he pointed to a third-tier gem and asked, “How many crystals does it cost?”

“Five hundred,” the stallholder, a man in a cyan robe, answered straightforwardly.

Yan Chen froze for an instant and said, “Huh?”

“How is it that the exchange value of goods in this market is not equal and differs so much?”

The corpse of a spirit beast at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage should be more expensive than a third-tier gem anyway.

But what the man said later really stunned Yan Chen.

“Well, if you really want to buy it, fifty crystals,” the man said.

Yan Chen was speechless.

“Wait. 30 crystals. 20 crystals. 15 crystals. It’s a junk price…” the stallholder said.

Ye Longyuan also heard what the man said and ran over to ask for the price. “How many crystals does this spiritual herb cost?”

“Seven,” the man answered.

“What about this gem?” he asked.

“Twelve,” the man said.

“Is there a fourth-tier treasure?” Ye Longyuan asked.

“No,” the man answered.

“What’s the value of a fourth-tier treasure?” he asked.

“It depends on the types,” the man said.

Ye Longyuan suddenly took out a fourth-tier gem and asked, “How about this one?”

“Hiss!” The stallholder took a deep breath and looked at it carefully, then said, “It’s a Water Drake Stone. Do you want to sell it for three hundred crystals?”

“Hehe.” Ye Longyuan smiled and took back the gem.

“Five hundred crystals,” the man said.

“No,” Ye Longyuan said.

“Eight hundred crystals. It’s already a fair price for a Water Drake Stone,” the man said.

“I said I wouldn’t sell it,” Ye Longyuan replied and left with Yan Chen.

Ye Longyuan said doubtfully, “Why are the prices here so low? It seems that the fourth-tier treasures are very attractive to them. But one such treasure only costs about one thousand crystals. We don’t lack crystals at all and no one exchanges fourth-tier treasures with them. Most of the people in our place barter for things. Why are crystals rare but prices low here?”

“The reason why things in our place are not so cheap may be that we have more treasures,” Yan Chen frowned and replied, “That’s just a small stall. We just need to go to more markets. The person we met before said that the Tiger Talisman Royal Family seemed to be one of the most powerful families. Prince Hu Bin is a mechanic martial artist and few cultivators at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage can defeat him. He is quite remarkable. Since we have never fought against a mechanic martial artist before, we should be more cautious during the following journey and avoid fighting against them directly.”

“Royal Family? Sounds awesome. Just go and see their tricks,” Ye Longyuan said with his eyes lighting up slightly.

“Alas.” Yan Chen sighed. “We are only at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. Though not far from the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage, we are still not so powerful. Let’s not rush to fight against them. After all, we still need to get familiar with the environment.”

“Well, OK. Where are we going next?” Ye Longyuan said.

“Let’s go to other trading sites. It’s said that Cloud Shadow Sky, Tiger Talisman Royal Family, and Silver-winged Hall are the strongest forces here. Let’s go to their places and see whether talents at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage of the Sea Dragon Star Area, Li Mu from the Cloud Shadow Sky, Hu Bin from the Tiger Talisman Royal Family, and Zhong An from the Silver-winged Hall, are really powerful,” Yan Chen replied softly.

Ye Longyuan said, “Sounds that you can defeat them. Older Martial Brother Yan, don’t forget that you are also at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage.”

One hundred and fifty kilometers south of the place where they were.

Shi Fenghou frowned and walked in a small town, also a trading center, several times larger than the village Ye Longyuan passed by.

In front of a stall, he squatted down, picked up a long sword, and asked, “How many crystals does it cost?”

“It’s a fourth-tier Demonic Fish Sword and costs 1,500 crystals. Fixed price,” the seller said.

Shi Fenghou pointed at a technological weapon and asked, “How about this gun?”

He wanted to buy one as he didn’t see this kind of weapon before. He didn’t care about the price.

“Six hundred crystals,” the man said.

“Ok… I will buy it,” Shi Fenghou said.

When he was about to pay for the gun, he suddenly found that there were not so many crystals left as he had paid Zhang Hanyang his debts with most of them. He had only more than two hundred low-grade crystals and a dozen top-grade ones then.

“Top-grade crystal?

“I, I don’t have enough change at all!

“Don’t you have low-grade crystals?” the stallholder asked, seeing Shi Fenghou take out a top-grade crystal.

He got shocked as he didn’t expect that the guy in front of him would have top-grade crystals. Ten thousand low-grade crystals were a huge fortune for him after all.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

His heart suddenly beat violently.

It’s true that people love fortune.

“Well, never mind.” Shi Fenghou frowned slightly after seeing the seller’s greedy eyes. Then he picked up the top-grade crystal and left.

“A top-grade crystal!

“He also has a Space Treasure.

“Perhaps there is more than one top-grade crystal in his Space Treasure.”

Those stallholders were discussing. They didn’t want to give up the opportunity to get some extra crystals.

A hundred meters away from the street, there was a man in a cyan robe looking toward Shi Fenghou. He shook his head and said to himself, “It’s no good to show off fortunes. He might be in trouble.”

Seeing Shi Fenghou walk farther and farther away, seven of those eight people stood up and walked quickly after him, leaving one of them to watch the stalls.

Shi Fenghou knew they were following behind without looking back as he heard the sound. He knew their intention and just sneered.

“Young master, please wait.”

The stallholder whom Shi Fenghou talked to before approached him and said with a smile, “Which star area are you from?”

However, Shi Fenghou didn’t answer him.

“I don’t think you are common since you have not only the spatial treasure but also top-grade crystals. This town belongs to the Cloud Shadow Sky, a great power famous in the entire Sea Dragon Star Area. You look extraordinary. Are you also a member of such a great power? Maybe you are the kind of person who can be on par with Li Mu of the Cloud Shadow Sky,” The man spoke in a polite way, trying to know which power Shi Fenghou represented.

“Cloud Shadow Sky, Li Mu?”

Shi Fenghou thought for a while. Along the way, he had heard the name not less than ten times.

He should be a big shot.

Shi Fenghou was not interested in those cultivators, one at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage and six at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage. As long as he could slay the one at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage, he could slay the other six all.

Shi Fenghou was confident that no one could escape from his attack.

“Except for Zhang Hanyang,” he said to himself.

Among the young martial artists, except Zhang Hanyang, no one could beat him.

Of course, that was just his opinion.

“It seems that you have also heard of Young Master Li Mu?” The stallholder smiled and said, “He is a son of the leader of the Cloud Shadow Sky and an excellent talent, credited as one of the Eight Great Young Masters of the Cloud Star Area. Besides, he is one of the most outstanding young people in nearly fifty years. Now he is going southward from the stronghold in the west of the river. If it’s convenient, you can also visit him.”

“That’s right,” Another person said, “Young Master Li Mu has also taken part in the trial, representing the Cloud Shadow Sky. He is one of the most honorable big shots in this world. It’s even normal for him to throw away a top-grade crystal. However, if others do that, trying to satisfy their vanity, people around them will mistake them as big shots or rich people.”

Anyway, they implied that if Shi Fenghou gave them some crystals directly, they would not try to rob him. After all, in the market of the Cloud Shadow Sky, no fighting was the most important principle.

Others also implied the same way. However, Shi Fenghou didn’t say anything.

When he was about to leave the town, he turned his head looking at them coldly and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Buzz!”

The stallholder said with great anger, “Are you playing dumb?”

“People in my place like you are deemed as bums,” Shi Fenghou replied coldly.

“You…”

“Swoosh, bang!”

Without giving them any time to react, Shi Fenghou directly flashed toward them with a sharp weapon in his right hand. The man at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage was alert and instantly tried to protect himself by activating the defensive treasure and the strong spiritual force in his body.

However, he failed.

Everyone who was familiar with Shi Fenghou knew that his rivals should undertake defense in advance when being less than 500 meters away from him. When they were 50 meters away from him, they should use some defensive treasures to protect themselves.

However, the people in front of him did not know his knack at all.

Those at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage didn’t even know that Shi Fenghou had moved. They just felt that the stallholder stopped breathing with his face turning pale the instant they glanced at him.

“He is dead?”

The most powerful cultivator among them, one at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage, was just killed in an instant.

“Uh, oh!”

“Run!”

They cried and activated all kinds of defensive treasures at the same time.

However, they were no match for Shi Fenghou who had started attacking.

“Puah! Puah! Puah! Puah! Puah! Puah! Puah!”

They all got killed.

“Hehe!”

Shi Fenghou sneered.

Waving his sleeves, he turned around and intended to leave the town.

“Just wait!”

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted. It was the man in cyan walking along the street.

“What’s the matter?” Shi Fenghou turned around and asked, looking at him calmly.

The man said calmly, “I’m Lin Hai, the supervisor of the Cloud Shadow Sky. There’s an unwritten rule in every trading site that no powers are allowed to fight, which is the reason why those people didn’t attack you just now though they wanted to. You’ve violated the rule, so you have to offer an explanation.”

“Hehe.”

Shi Fenghou sneered and said, “I, Shi Fenghou, don’t need to explain to anyone for killing.”

Lin Hai shook his head and said, “Shi Fenghou, do you think you can fight against the Cloud Shadow Sky? I can tell that you are just at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage based on the way you fought just now. If Li Mu were here, you would have become a corpse. Now you can offer an explanation to me and I can reduce the punishment on you.”

“My explanation is…” Shi Fenghou narrowed his eyes and added, “No explanation.”

Lin Hai frowned and said, “So you want to be the Cloud Shadow Sky’s enemy? In this place, if you offend the Cloud Shadow Sky, you will have no other choice but to flee to the east of the river.”

He still dared to show no respect to the supervisor. Didn’t he know how powerful the Cloud Shadow Sky was?

“Do you want to fight with me?” Shi Fenghou asked.

Since he arrived at this place, he had been unstoppable. Among more than a dozen spirit beasts at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage he met, only a green turtle with extremely strong defensive power survived his attacks, which made Shi Fenghou firmly believe that although he was not so powerful as cultivators at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage, ordinary ones at that stage were no match for him.

“In the Cultivation World, cultivators making the fastest attack are invincible. No one can do anything to me!” Shi Fenghou said.

“Except for Zhang Hanyang!” he said to himself.

Even Moon Empress, the most honorable one among their contemporaries, was under the command of Zhang Hanyang.

Lin Hai clapped his hands and said calmly, “That’s true. But your enemy is not just me. The Cloud Shadow Sky accepts no defiance. Take him down.”

“Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!”

Suddenly, there came many cultivators from all directions. It could be identified that most of them were at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage based on their Qi. For the first time, Lin Hai in the front showed his Qi at that time.

Shi Fenghou narrowed his eyes and said, “Elixir Realm Peak-Stage?”

“It’s not late to regret. What’s your choice?” Lin Hai said to Shi Fenghou in a proud voice.

“Hehe.” Shi Fenghou said calmly, “If I want to leave, no one in this world can stop me.”

“Oh? So you want to escape under the encirclement of more than 30…?”

Before Lin Hai could finish his words, Shi Fenghou had already flashed and levitated into the sky a thousand meters away with a pair of wings on his back. Then he turned around and showed a provocative look.

“That’s weird,” Lin Hai said to himself and looked at Shi Fenghou coldly, thinking he was definitely uncommon. He then said in a thunder-like voice, “Shi Fenghou, though you have fled, we will meet again as long as you are in this place.”

“You can never stop me.” Shi Fenghou continued with pride, “Among the young cultivators in the whole world, there is just one person who can stop me, not Li Mu.”

“Swoosh!”

After saying that, Shi Fenghou left quickly and got out of Lin Hai’s line of sight in a few seconds.

“Well…” Lin Hai froze for a few seconds and said, “You’ve got something. However, we will get you as long as you are in our place.”

One of his subordinates suddenly asked, “Supervisor Lin, what should we do now? Chase after him?”

“Well, go to chase him,” Lin Hai said but he knew it was impossible to catch up with Shi Fenghou.

“Swoosh!”

In a short time, Lin Hai went back to the town where many people who had seen Shi Fenghou kill people were discussing.

“He should dare to kill people in the territory of the Cloud Shadow Sky. Remarkable.”

“He was too impulsive. If he could control himself for a while and kill those cultivators outside the town, he wouldn’t be in any trouble. Killing people in the town means showing no respect to the Cloud Shadow Sky!”

“Yes. As long as the man still cultivates on this continent which is not very large, he will still be found. This time, Supervisor Lin Hai failed to stop him. How can he escape when he meets Li Mu next time?”

“Hehe, no way. In this place, all cultivators, except for Hu Bin of the Tiger Talisman Royal Family and Zhong An of the Silver-winged Hall, are weaker than Li Mu. The competition between the young generation is also very fierce. Once Sect Leader Li of the Cloud Shadow Sky said that young cultivators of this generation were the most powerful in a thousand years.”

“Well, only Li Mu, Hu Bin, and Zhong An have come for the trial this time. Many other powerful cultivators who didn’t come might not be satisfied with the scale of it.”

In addition to those who were discussing, there was another man whose face was pale. He shivered and said, “Dead! They are all dead. My God, that person is terrible!”

He was just the person who was a little reluctant to stay to watch the stalls at first but survived for staying!

He couldn’t even believe that the man didn’t even take the Cloud Shadow Sky seriously just now.

This kind of person was either really powerful or a fool.

But he felt that the man seemed to be the former. His unparalleled speed alone could enable him to not be targeted by most of the technological weapons. Only some high-tech weapons brought by the Tiger Talisman Royal Family could pose a threat to him.

What were high-tech weapons?

At that time, Su Beimu licked his dry lips and said to himself, “He wanted to rob my treasure. Why couldn’t I kill him? Just because this is the place of the Tiger Talisman Royal Family?”

“Yes, just because this is the place of the Tiger Talisman Royal Family.” Su Beimu heard a deep and slow sound from a red mecha, which was more than ten meters high.
