Chapter 188 - 188: 187 A bit unexpected! 1
Zhao Xiu stared deeply at Ye Feng after he heard his unhesitant admission. Meanwhile, the Tian Long Gang members beside him all revealed murderous looks on their faces.
Damn it, this is Tianyuan Star, the territory of Tian Long Gang. Even dragons have to circle around us, and tigers must lie down for us. These two are dead meat today.
“May I ask, my brother, for what reason have they decided to pick a fight with you?”
“They’ve taken a liking to my mount, the Starry Sky Beast, Taixu Longkun!”
“They claim their boss has lost a Taixu Longkun and want me to go with them for verification.’
“It seems you’re their boss, huh?”
“Well, it’s quite convenient. Let’s verify it!”
A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng’s face.
Since the other party mistook his Ancient Dragon Kun as Taixu Longkun, he decided to play along with their mistake.
After all, the value difference between a Superb Transcendence and a top legendary level item is immense.
“What, it’s a Taixu Longkun Starry Sky Beast!”
“This is a Superb Transcendence level Starry Sky Beast. If we could catch it, it would certainly sell for a good price.”
“If the higher-ups find out that we’ve captured a Taixu Longkun, there would certainly be plenty of rewards.”
All of a sudden, hearing Ye Feng’s words, the Tian Long Gang members’ eyes lit up, they looked at Ye Feng as if a hungry wolf had seen a chick.
Zhao Xiu was the same. However, he was more cunning and didn’t reveal his emotions like his underlings did.
He knew that despite being cultivators in the Divinity and Martial God Realms, they appeared to be powerful cultivators – but in reality, compared to the sects and clans, the Tian Long Gang, no matter their strength or style, was more like a group of ragtag bullies.
If they weren’t backed by the Wang Family, they, being Divinity and Martial God level beings established by relying on pills and resources, would probably be wiped out instantly, instead of boasting around as they were doing now.
Looking at Ye Feng, who was smiling in front of him, for some reason, Zhao Xiu felt a sense of fear suddenly arising in his heart. He had no idea how this feeling came about, leaving him clueless.
Because of this feeling, he became even more cautious.
“Ha ha- It’s all a misunderstanding, all just a misunderstanding!”
“Look how this has blown up. I’ve found my mount, which clearly means it’s not yours. They got the wrong person and disturbed you. It’s their fault, I can’t blame you.”
Zhao Xiu’s words left the gang members around him stunned for a moment, then they became anxious.
“Hall Master!”
“Shut up!!!”
Zhao Xiu turned around with a deadly gaze, shocking the gang members. They’ve rarely seen Zhao Xiu in this state.
“Since it is so, I’ll go!”
Ye Feng raised his eyebrow in surprise, and then, accompanied by the Ancient Dragon Kun, he stepped into the teleportation array of Hongtian City and vanished in a flash.
He was a bit surprised that this man didn’t attack him. It seemed like a bit of a shame.
Seeing Ye Feng’s surprised look, Zhao Xiu was even more certain that the two people just now were confident and fearless. If he had attacked them, even if he could hold them back, it would certainly result in a bloody battle.
In all likelihood, he wasn’t even certain that he could hold the two men back despite them both being at level nine of the Emperor Realm.
To reach his current position as the Hall Master of Hongtian City’s Tian Long Gang, not only did he rely on his powerful strength, but more importantly, he knew how to read people.
These two people, especially the young man, he couldn’t see through.
“Brother, where did those two people just teleport to?”
After thinking it over, Zhao Xiu arrived in front of the teleportation array and asked the City Lord Mansion soldier in charge.
“Yo, isn’t this Master Zhao? You’re talking about those two? They went to Tianyuan City. Is there something wrong, Master Zhao?”
“It’s nothing. Thanks, brother. These coins are for you and your buddies to have some drinks!”
Zhao Xiu casually tossed a couple of Source Coins, causing the soldiers’ faces to light up with happy surprise. They only had a monthly salary of ten Source Coins.
With these two Source Coins, they could cover more than a week’s wages. “Thank you, Master Zhao, thank you, Master Zhao!”
The two of them immediately stashed away the Source Coins, grinning obsequiously.
“Zhao, my boy, what’s the matter!”
Just at this moment, the Tian Long Gang Martial God who had left earlier arrived before Zhao Xiu with a group of people.
“I heard someone was causing trouble for the Tian Long Gang?”
A burly, bearded man in armor exuding a domineering aura asked, a hint of fierceness flashed past his eyes.
“Brother Liang, it was just a misunderstanding. It has been resolved. Now that I’ve met you, let’s have a drink together!”
“Ah, my boy, I’m still on duty. You can’t get me into trouble. When I’m off duty, let me treat you to a drink!”
The bearded man was the commander of the Defence Army of Hongtian City. At this critical moment, with the Tianyuan Auction about to begin, hundreds of cultivators from all over the Starry Sky would come to participate in the auction each year.
The more it was at times like these, the higher the Defence Army had to raise its vigilance.
Even though the auction was held in Tianyuan City, it didn’t mean that other cities could be careless.
After all, there were both friends and enemies among the powers on Tianyuan Star.
“Alright, then I won’t keep you. After you finish your shift, I’ll bring wine and find you!”
“Alright, take care, brother!”
Watching the bearded man walk away, a trace of bitterness flickered in Zhao Xiu’s eyes. The gang members around him could tell that the Hall Master was not in a good mood, so none of them dared to speak.
“Send a message to the Gang Leader that our men were taken down by two people. One of them had a Taixu Longkun with him. We didn’t make a move at this critical moment. The rest is up to the Gang Leader’s decision.”
Zhao Xiu slowly instructed.
“Yes, Hall Master!”
“Swish!”
On the other side, Ye Feng and his companion walked out of the teleportation array, directly in the center of Tianyuan City.
Compared to Hongtian City, which was a bustling trading port city for the Starry Sky, Tianyuan City showcased a different kind of prosperity.
The thousands of meters-wide central boulevard was not just busy with Divine Weapons and Treasures, half of its airspace was filled with airships darting in all directions. There were also many cultivators flying mid-air.
On both sides of the boulevard, countless shops stood densely packed, offering all sorts of treasures.
It was Ye Feng’s first time seeing such a colossal city. Before this, he had only seen such a spectacle in animations.
“The first round of the Tianyuan Auction will start today! ”
“If cultivators need anything, they can attend. Maybe you will find what you want in the auction!”
Just as they took a few steps, a shouted sales pitch from the front caught their attention.
“An auction?”
“Let’s go take a look. We might find the materials you need to evolve.”
With the thought of joining in the fun since they had come so far, Ye Feng headed towards the Tianyuan Auction venue.
Even though he did not think that this star would have the materials of
Mythical level he needed.
But since he was already here!
At the same time, inside the Wang Mansion at Tianyuan City, the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Clan Clan Leader, and many core disciples and power-wielders of the Wang Family were looking at the two finely dressed, extremely arrogant people standing in front of them with utmost reverence..
