"Now, it belongs to . Are you sure you want to fight for it?"
The youth pointed at the sowhat baffled old hen on the ground, his voice carrying lightly, and many thought that the roughly dressed boy was going to suffer a loss today.
Perhaps in the old hen’s heart, it never imagined that one day it would be so coveted. It really was a stroke of fortune, from hen to phoenix.
An ordinary old hen, selling for one gold coin would already be quite good, and that’s for a hen that’s been raised for over a dozen years, but now, it fetched a price of an Earth Rank Low Level elixir.
Even as the onlookers were impressed by the youth’s wealth, their eyes kept wandering over the old hen, yet they discovered nothing, and their curiosity deepened even more.
Is an ordinary old hen really worth such a struggle? Moreover, judging by the roughly dressed boy’s deanor, he seed not ready to give up even at this point. This drama seed far from over.
The youth obviously ca from a prestigious background, not only was his cultivation considerable, but the guards by his side were also fierce. If it were a normal person, they surely wouldn’t easily offend.
But was Yun Xiao an ordinary person? Since the golden snake worm took interest in that old hen, he surely wouldn’t give it up easily. He knew that creature had high standards, even so treasures from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud might not catch its eye.
"I..."
"Brother Yun Xiao, I think it’s better to step back in this matter!"
Just as a gleam flickered in Yun Xiao’s eyes, wanting to say sothing, his sleeve was tugged from the side, and a soft voice reached his ear. Without looking, he knew it was Lin Xuanhao speaking.
"What?"
Hearing this, Yun Xiao was sowhat surprised. Normally, Lin Xuanhao was very obedient and shouldn’t have interrupted him at this mont. Could it be he had noticed sothing?
"I rember who he is. If I’m not mistaken, he should be the direct inheritor of the Spirit Fighting Comrce branch in Yuyang City, the son of the branch chairman: Xu Huan!"
Lin Xuanhao’s voice was solemn. After all, coming from the Lin Family of Yujiang City, he knew far more about the powers and sects of the Southern Domain of Tenglong Continent than Yun Xiao. Under careful observation for so ti, he recognized the background of the youth.
Previously, Lin Xuanhao had inford Yun Xiao about the four most powerful forces on the Tenglong Continent, among which was the Spirit Fighting Comrce. Although Xu Huan was only a son of a branch chairman, the power behind him was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Ah, it’s him?!"
Although Lin Xuanhao’s voice was soft, it was heard by several people close by. Setting aside those cultivators who ca from the outskirts for the Spirit Fighting Conference, the local cultivators born and raised in Yuyang City all changed expressions.
The Spirit Fighting Comrce was powerful and wealthy, and even places like Xuanyin Hall and Wuyan Palace would not easily provoke them. The Yuyang City branch of the Spirit Fighting Comrce might be much weaker, but for cultivators of the Spirit Vein Realm and Qi Seeking Realm, it was still a colossal presence.
Moreover, it was said that this year’s Spirit Fighting Conference in Yuyang City was chaired by the Spirit Fighting Comrce branch. Offending them could lead to trouble behind the scenes, resulting in a loss greater than the gain.
"The young master from the Spirit Fighting branch?"
From Lin Xuanhao’s words, Yun Xiao also understood who the cor was, yet his face showed no hint of fear; instead, he was quite interestedly sizing up the youth, Xu Huan.
"It seems I have so affinity with people nad ’Huan’!"
Sohow, upon hearing the na Xu Huan, Yun Xiao’s mind flashed to Yin Huan, the first genius he t from the Jade Pot Sect. A strange thought also arose.
Of course, Yin Huan was long gone to et King Yan now, and since Xu Huan had co to him, Yun Xiao certainly would not easily back down, even if this was the great young master of the Spirit Fighting Comrce of Yuyang City.
"Now that you know it’s this young master, shouldn’t you scram?"
Seeing that his identity had been recognized, Xu Huan’s face, which was previously smiling, suddenly turned grim. With that shout, everyone involuntarily took a step back.
Originally, Xu Huan was of noble birth, but he had an odd habit of concealing his identity. This ti, he traveled incognito with several unfamiliar guards, and no one recognized him beforehand.
He enjoyed the thrill of playing the pig to eat the tiger. However, his act as a pig was not very successful and was recognized before he could play much longer, leaving him sowhat unsatisfied.
But now that his identity was recognized, Xu Huan simply dropped the act. Aware of the weight of his identity in Yuyang City, he assud that this unknown youth, who had been very resolute, would surely soften upon learning his identity.
This is Xu Huan’s greatest confidence in his heart. In the past, even so cultivators who reached the Seeking Origin Realm, before knowing his identity, acted arrogantly. However, after knowing his identity, they would all be submissive. Such is the power of the Spirit Fighting Comrce.
Unfortunately, this Mr. Xu Huan, who likes to play the pig to eat the tiger, has today t a monster who has the sa trick engraved in his bones. His purpose this ti is dood to fail.
"Xu Huan, right? Even if you are the young master of the Spirit Fighting Branch, you still need to follow the rules, right? This old hen doesn’t belong to you yet!"
Just when Xu Huan and everyone thought the young man would back off upon realizing the difficulty, these words ca out of his mouth, which even made Lin Xuanhao anxious.
Lin Xuanhao had just warned Yun Xiao not to offend the people from the Spirit Fighting Comrce too lightly. Why did this guy intensify his approach instead? Is he trying to completely infuriate Xu Huan?
"Ah ha, rules? This young master naturally follows rules. Didn’t you hear the word ’deal’ that the boss just ntioned?"
Xu Huan laughed loudly, and his words made many bystanders nod slightly. Didn’t you see that Wu Lin is still clutching the Elixir Jade Bottle without letting go? The joy on his face, no matter what, could not be concealed.
"So-called one mont is this, another mont is that. Just because he agreed earlier doesn’t an he will agree now!"
Yun Xiao’s face revealed a cunning smile, and when he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly turned to Old Boss Wu Lin’s face, smiling, "Right, Boss Wu Lin?"
"Nonsense, this Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, I clearly already sold it to Xu..."
Wu Lin, sensing the scent of the elixir from within the jade bottle, how could he hesitate at this ti? Just as he was about to say he had sold it to Xu Huan, he saw the young man in coarse clothes lightly move his right index finger.
"Hmm?"
That almost imperceptible motion made Wu Lin suddenly feel a familiar aura burst out from within him, horrifying him to the point of losing his soul. At this mont, he suddenly understood sothing.
"You... how..."
Wu Lin almost threw the jade bottle in his hand out, the empty left hand raised up, pointing at Yun Xiao, after a long ti, unable to make a coherent argunt.
"Sorry, I really didn’t expect you to go back on your word so quickly, Boss. There are so things I haven’t even had the chance to tell you yet!"
A cold smirk passed through Yun Xiao’s eyes, and his words made Wu Lin’s heart sink instantly, even so of the more astute onlookers thought deeply.
From Yun Xiao’s words, could it be possible that the so-called No-Infant Fruit poison hasn’t been completely eradicated? At this point, everyone’s gaze shifted toward Wu Lin, looking sowhat strange.
As the person involved, Wu Lin was extrely familiar with that aura because it had been with him for many days, even at this mont, he felt his flesh and blood seed to swell again, though the swelling was hardly visible to the naked eye.
"How about it, Boss Wu? The No-Infant Fruit is quite powerful, can you last half a month?"
Yun Xiao’s finger moved slightly, the words he spoke made Wu Lin’s face change again. Didn’t they say he could last a month before? How did it suddenly turn to just half a month?
"You must be wondering why I said one month earlier, but now I say half a month, right? I’m truly sorry, my previous action sowhat provoked the No-Infant Fruit, so it will devour your essence blood more aggressively!"
It seed like Yun Xiao knew what Wu Lin was thinking, and he kindly explained, but to Wu Lin, he wished he had never heard this explanation at all.
And the faces of the onlooking crowd beca even stranger. Initially, they thought that the young master of the Spirit Fighting Branch, Xu Huan, would easily succeed, but they did not expect this young man in coarse clothes to turn the situation around, seemingly about to turn the tables now.
A Qi Breaking Pill, how could it compare to one’s own life? At this mont, many people sowhat despised Wu Lin for his inconsistency, yet they could understand his extrely conflicting emotions.
"How about it, Boss Wu? This Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, can you sell it to now?"
Yun Xiao casually finished his words, not giving Wu Lin much ti to think, but continued speaking enthusiastically, clearly confident this ti.
To be honest, after knowing Xu Huan’s identity just now, everyone understood that this young man in coarse clothes seemingly had no capital to compete with him.
But it was just a few words, and the onlookers were sowhat unsure of the situation now, so at this mont, most people’s gazes turned to the face of that comrce young master.
Even Boss Wu Lin turned his pleading gaze toward Xu Huan, wanting to grasp the last straw that would neither cost him his life nor offend this comrce young master.
But under such circumstances, could there really be a way to have the best of both worlds?
