"So you’re saying that as the owner of the Market of Dulong Island, I must adhere to your shopkeeper’s orders when entering?" Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Returning to one’s own ho requires others’ approval? Absurd beyond asure!
"Hey, no matter who you are, if you want to enter, you must obtain my shopkeeper’s permission first. Just wait." The Realm King Realm expert paid no heed to Ye Zhen, casually casting a Dao Talisman Communication.
Ye Zhen’s expression changed, stepping forward half a step abruptly. "What if I don’t want to wait and wish to enter now?" A faint Killing Qi emanated from Ye Zhen’s eyes.
The Martial Artist of the Realm King Realm raised an eyebrow, evidently surprised by Ye Zhen’s intention to act, yet not the least bit intimidated; he too sneered coldly, "Then try if you dare!"
"I really want to see who dares stop !"
With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen’s figure shifted, soaring towards the headquarters building of the Sky Wing Trading Company.
At this mont, the expression of the Realm King Realm expert beca ferociously sinister, "Trespass and you shall die!" The Sixth Stage of the Realm King Realm aura surged instantly, Killing Qi flooded towards Ye Zhen like tidal waves.
The leader of the Realm King Realm patrol’s original intent was to intimidate Di Kuohai into retreat; within the Five Immortals Hall, rules set by those above are to be executed without exception.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Ye Zhen completely disregarded the deterrence of the leader of the patrol, instead swaggering past him effortlessly.
Within an instant, the patrol leader of the Realm King Realm grew anxious. Behind him lay the headquarters of the Sky Wing Trading Company; if Di Kuohai made it through, it would an his negligence.
His gaze tightened as a Sword Light brimming with Sword Fiend energy swept towards Ye Zhen’s head like a swift streak.
At such close range, given his Sixth Stage cultivation in the Realm King Realm, Ye Zhen could neither escape nor evade, only face it head-on.
This patrol leader planned to force Ye Zhen back with a single move, reserving so of his strength, not exerting his full power.
However, what he hadn’t anticipated was that this slight reservation of strength inadvertently saved his life.
What startled the patrol leader was that Di Kuohai, facing the advancing Sword Light, neither dodged nor avoided, approaching it directly.
"Could it be that he’s planning to take it head-on with his body?" A thought flashed sharply through the patrol leader’s mind.
In the next mont, the patrol leader’s pupils suddenly contracted; to his shock, Di Kuohai indeed used his body to confront the Sword Light head-on!
The Sword Light, being of Low Grade Suppressing Artifact level, should have been capable of slaying even Martial Artists of the Ninth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm with a single strike.
BAM!
As the Sword Light descended, Ye Zhen slightly tilted his head, letting it strike his shoulder directly. While Ye Zhen’s head was hard, he had no penchant for having his head cleaved.
Next mont, the patrol leader and several other patrol mbers widened their eyes to the size of copper bells instantly.
The Sword Light shattered.
The Low Grade Suppressing Artifact level longsword rebounded upwards with a hum after striking Ye Zhen’s shoulder.
Ye Zhen’s shoulder rely had a cut in his clothes, revealing skin devoid of even a white mark.
Within an instant, everyone’s mind raced with the thought, "Is this even human?"
Just at that mont, Ye Zhen’s left foot darted out like a venomous snake, crashing into the patrol leader’s chest with the force of a mountain.
CRACK! CRUNCH!
The sound of countless bones shattering left a significant depression in the patrol leader’s chest, sending him flying, blood foam already spilling from his mouth.
The eyes of everyone were filled with shock.
"You should be grateful; if it weren’t for considering Great Deacon Yi Xun’s face, you would already be dead!"
Indeed, Ye Zhen spoke without exaggeration; he was rely testing the Black Dragon Tyrant Body’s physical power augntation without intent to kill.
Otherwise, the patrol leader would have faced more than just a kick; he would have been struck by the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder or the Xuan Fire Drill capable of turning him to ashes.
With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen shifted direction towards the Sky Wing Trading Company headquarters again.
The patrol leader of the Realm King Realm, chest completely shattered, left speechless, while another patrol mber of the Realm King Realm wobbled, wanting but fearing to intercept Ye Zhen moving towards the headquarters.
This scene left the other two patrollers from the Seven Surnad families of Dulong Island both excited and shocked.
Nonetheless, the Five Immortals Hall maintained strict rules; despite fear, another patrolman of the Realm King Realm finally restored his courage to try and stop Ye Zhen.
As long as he attempted, even without success, it would fulfill his duty, resulting in reward within the Five Immortals Hall; failing to intercept would spell the end of his good days.
"He’s just one person, let’s get him together!" The patrol mber of the Realm King Realm roared, signaling the two of the Five Immortals Hall to intercept Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, ready to show them his power; these people don’t learn without seeing blood.
Just as he was about to strike, several individuals erged from the Sky Wing Trading Company’s headquarters, one shouting loudly, "Stop!"
Ye Zhen’s gaze landed on his senior sister Liao Feibai among those erging, her jade-like countenance unchanged, yet sohow appearing fatigued.
"Yes, Manager Zong!" The patrol of the Realm King Realm, ready to risk everything for a fight, felt as if pardoned, retreating swiftly.
The manager’s gaze fell upon the wounded head of the Realm King Realm patrol, and his expression changed.
"What happened here?" the manager asked.
Imdiately, a patrol reported the incident of Ye Zhen injuring soone. The manager’s face changed, then he burst into hearty laughter, "So it’s Lord Di returning, a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding! It’s like the floodwaters surging into the Dragon King’s temple."
"Bla , bla for not explaining clearly, I ask for Lord Di’s forgiveness!"
"Please co in, Lord Di, please co in!" That manager, being soone capable of independently overseeing a branch for the Five Immortals Hall, resolved the current awkward situation with just a few words.
His enthusiastic deanor made everyone watching feel that it was indeed a misunderstanding.
However, facing this manager’s invitation, Ye Zhen stood in place, not moving an inch, looking at the manager with a sharp gaze.
The manager was montarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Lord Di, what is this?"
"Manager, this is my territory, right? Even when inviting soone in, it should be inviting you in, shouldn’t it? Or, perhaps, did the Market of Dulong Island change its na to yours without my knowledge?" Ye Zhen sneered.
An awkward expression flashed across the manager’s face, then he forced a laugh, "I got it wrong, apologies, apologies!"
After speaking, the manager willingly moved aside, making way for Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen drifted over, appearing beside his senior sister Liao Feibai, casually wrapping an arm around her slender waist, and they both stepped into the headquarters together.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Greetings, shopkeeper!"
Present were Gai Jun, Chu Zhao, and the Seven Surnad Ancestors of Dulong Island, all greeting him.
"All of you co in; I have things to discuss."
Ye Zhen invited these confidants from the Market of Dulong Island in one by one, deliberately excluding the manager.
The manager, well-composed, did not show any haste, instead watched Ye Zhen with a constant smile.
Only when Ye Zhen was about to close the Sky Wing Trading Company’s headquarters door did the manager beco anxious.
He swiftly stepped forward, holding the door Ye Zhen was about to close.
Ye Zhen raised his head, "Manager, what is this?"
"I also need to co in, there are so matters...."
"Manager, didn’t you hear? I didn’t invite you in. This is my territory, don’t you think there’s a problem with that?" Ye Zhen sneered.
The manager’s face briefly showed embarrassnt and anger, but he quickly forced a smile, "Lord Di, you’re right, but our Five Immortals Hall branch is now an important partner for the Market of Dulong Island.
Today happens to be a big matter to discuss, and now you’re back, it’s just right, let’s finalize this issue."
"A big matter?"
Ye Zhen curled his lip disdainfully, pointing a finger to the sky, "The sky isn’t falling yet. Whatever it is, we will talk about it tomorrow!" Ye Zhen attempted to close the door again.
The manager’s eyes flashed with a hint of rage, but rather than persist in holding the door, he stepped back, using a steady and weighty tone, "Lord Di, as the Five Immortals Hall branch serving as a partner in the Market of Dulong Island, a crucial mber.
I advise you to open the door and listen to my opinions, go through the matters I previously listed out, one by one, or else!" The manager’s face suddenly revealed a threatening expression.
"Oh, or else what? I am actually curious to hear," Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a sneer.
At this mont, he didn’t need anyone to explain; Ye Zhen understood what situation he found himself in.
This is the rhythm of the cuckoo occupying the magpie’s nest.
In truth, Ye Zhen had considered such a possibility when collaborating with the Five Immortals Hall, but he hadn’t thought much of it.
Firstly, there was Mountain God Yi Xun’s assurance; secondly, the main signature business of the Market of Dulong Island is the unique Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures delivered from the True Profound Continent, with the supply chain firmly under his control, so it couldn’t be taken away, thus he hadn’t paid too much mind.
But unexpectedly, judging from the current situation, it still happened.
"Lord Di, don’t bla for not giving you face. If we can’t settle this today, the consequences won’t be sothing you or I could bear.
At that point, when our Five Immortals Hall withdraws from the Market of Dulong Island, that would be minor," the manager warned, his face full of threat.
"You’re threatening ?"
Ye Zhen scoffed, while Gai Jun and Chu Zhao watched on, expecting Ye Zhen to unleash his wrath for their sake. Surprisingly, Ye Zhen suddenly softened, opened the door with a smile, "In that case, let’s co in and discuss."
As he turned to walk towards the main hall of the Sky Wing Trading Company, Gai Jun, Chu Zhao, and the others wore puzzled expressions, not understanding why Ye Zhen suddenly gave in.
Only Liao Feibai, very familiar with Ye Zhen, noticed the chilling killing intent within Ye Zhen’s eyes!
