Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 201 - 199: I’m Afraid You Won’t Be Able to Leave
Zhang Hong glanced suspiciously at the broken sword. With his cultivation, he couldn’t see anything special about it at all.
At most, it was something picked up from some cave abode or ruin, now completely devoid of spiritual essence!
But considering Xu Yang’s abilities, he suspected there had to be something unusual about it, so he didn’t press further.
The stall owner said flatly, "Take it for ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
Ten thousand Spirit Stones?
Honestly, that’s not expensive!
Not asking an outrageous price!
Xu Yang smiled, took out ten thousand Spirit Stones on the spot.
The deal was done.
"Turns out this black market isn’t as ridiculous as I imagined." After leaving, Xu Yang couldn’t help but marvel.
Zhang Hong said, "The people here come from all sorts of backgrounds; some items can’t be sold publicly, others even they can’t judge the true value of. If they ask for the sky, it might just piss the wrong folks off, get stalked out the door and slaughtered!"
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh in surprise.
"But I still really can’t tell what’s so strange about this broken sword..." Zhang Hong’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
Xu Yang explained, "This broken sword has a trace of spiritual intent sealed inside. When the sword was whole, it must’ve been impressive. The spiritual intent, I bet, was accumulated by its owner over many years. In terms of value, ten thousand Spirit Stones is honestly a massive bargain!"
"Spiritual intent?"
Zhang Hong’s heart pounded—he knew perfectly well what that meant.
It could be used to nourish spirit weapons, or even temper one’s Spiritual Power. Huge benefits!
The key point was he couldn’t believe even Xu Yang could notice this.
And it’s still sealed... That stall owner wasn’t weak either!
"The method used to conceal it is quite subtle. Unless a Yang Realm Martial Artist with special means comes along, you’d need at least a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert to see through it!" Xu Yang explained offhandedly.
Comprehending, Zhang Hong was secretly amazed at Xu Yang’s abilities!
Impressive!
The spiritual intent within the sword wasn’t weak, but also not extremely strong!
Xu Yang was planning to use it to temper his own Spiritual Power.
Just from this alone, the trip was already worth it!
The two continued deeper into the market, and about a quarter hour later—
Xu Yang finally found another treasure that made his heart race.
Similar to that short sword in its peculiarity—it was a Spirit Seal!
The whole thing was gold and lustrous, radiating clear spiritual light, its aura outstanding!
Just to refine and wield it, you’d need at least a middle-to-late Yang Realm cultivator.
Based on appearances alone, it’d be worth at least a million Spirit Stones!
But with the Cangxu Divine Eyes, Xu Yang spotted a cloud of shocking spirit mist hidden inside the seal!
Even with the Cangxu Divine Eyes, he couldn’t truly see through it!
Another huge bargain!
But just how big, would depend on the stall owner’s asking price!
Because just from the surface, this seal was already extraordinary!
"How much for this item?"
Xu Yang walked over and asked directly.
Before the stall owner could answer, a figure arrived silently and said flatly, "No matter the price, I want it."
The stall owner was stunned, lips twitching, then immediately said, "You’d still want it for five million Spirit Stones?"
"Yes!"
Xu Yang glanced sideways.
The newcomer was robed in white, a silver mask covering his face!
His aura was fully restrained, impossible to gauge!
And not far behind him, four Martial Artists, all shrouded in black cloaks!
Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed; he sneered, "Didn’t expect you’d still dare show up here."
Song Yuanhao!
This man was Song Yuanhao!
Song Yuanhao replied flatly, "Qingzhou’s a big place. Why shouldn’t I come?"
"But you—now you really surprise me!"
"Maybe if you didn’t raise such a bunch of useless idiots!"
In a flash, the atmosphere was on a knife-edge!
Beneath the mask, Song Yuanhao’s face twisted, his eyes shooting out a cold and vicious killing intent!
The stall owner and Zhang Hong shivered as if plunged into an icy abyss, mind and spirit frozen under that killing will!
Who the hell is this man...?
The stall owner didn’t dare utter a single sound.
Those four not far away, every one looked dangerous as hell!
He felt like he was surrounded by savage beasts, trembling and desperate to escape!
Five million Spirit Stones—this shit is too fucking hot to handle.
A brief silence. Then Song Yuanhao, furious, laughed coldly: "Offending me isn’t the same as mouthing off to Zheng Qi, Chen Chong, or the likes of Wuhou Hall. The consequences are beyond your imagination!"
"I’ll give you one last chance!"
On hearing this, Xu Yang also laughed. "You’re giving yourself too much credit, aren’t you? Offend you? You’re even more shameless than the people from Wuhou Hall or King Beixuan’s palace!"
"The most outrageous I’ve ever seen! I have to ask—how did you cultivate such a thick hide?"
First stirring up trouble with me, trying to control my future and my life!
Even using Su Yun to threaten me!
Me, offending you?
Xu Yang’s eyes flashed with fire.
People can fake a face but not a heart—who’d have thought that, outside, Song Yuanhao seemed gentle and modest, but in truth this is who he is?
"Good. Very good!"
Song Yuanhao fought down his fury, coldly uttered, "You’ve had your chance. Suffer the consequences!"
"Suffer the consequences?"
"That’s a big mouth you have!"
"Try anything here today, and I’m afraid you won’t get out!"
Zhang Hong stepped forward, staring coldly at Song Yuanhao!
Even though he didn’t know who this man was, he wasn’t the least bit afraid!
The Zhang Family has been in Qingzhou for centuries—they’re not made of mud!
Zhang Lingqiao’s orders were clear: in Qingzhou, Zhang Hong can die, but Xu Yang mustn’t suffer a scratch!
If Zhang Hong dies, the Zhang Family has others who can carry on!
But if Xu Yang’s harmed, the Zhangs will lose a colossal chance at fortune!
In an instant, the air was thick with suffocating tension.
The four not far away stepped forward! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The formless pressure nearly made the stall owner collapse completely.
"Myriad Phenomena, all four are Myriad Phenomena Realm—and at least midstage, maybe even stronger!"
"Where the fuck are the black market guards?"
The stall owner was shaking like a leaf!
Zhang Hong’s face turned pale, his body trembling, but he never gave an inch!
Seeing this, Xu Yang grinned, "Want to fight? Go ahead, give it a try! Honestly, I’m afraid you really won’t make it out!"
"Arrogant!"
Even with his usual composure, Song Yuanhao couldn’t calm himself now. He roared in anger.
"I want to see who dares stop me!"
