Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 659 - 653: Young Master of the Shadow Alliance

"I’ll take that bracelet,"

Just as Xiao Lin was feeling pleased, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came through, causing Xiao Lin’s expression to turn cold. In his line of sight, three unfamiliar figures in black robes appeared, with the speaker being the young man leading at the front. freeweɓnøvel~com

This young man also had a very strong cultivation, clearly reaching the level of a Seventh Grade Martial Venerate.

Xiao Lin, who was about to show great courtesy, was irritated by the abrupt interruption, and coming from an esteemed family of Saints, he habitually looked down on others, barely anyone ever caught his eye.

"You looking for trouble, kid? Get out of my sight immediately, or I’ll make you kneel before me."

"Oh? Such big words from a pretty boy; this is Demon City, not your home. If you want to show off, you’ve picked the wrong place,"

The young man in the black robe clearly didn’t take Xiao Lin’s warning seriously. He too must have been someone accustomed to privilege and was evidently displeased with Xiao Lin’s impolite tone.

After speaking, he also looked towards Zuo Lingyun, smiling and said, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of you accepting this bracelet?"

"You’re courting death!"

Rage blazed in Xiao Lin’s eyes as he swiftly drew his long sword, its cold light flickering under the sunlight, and with a whoosh unleashed a slash of Sword Qi towards the black-robed young man’s left arm!

The black-robed young man did not expect Xiao Lin to strike so suddenly and without declaration of war, and with such ruthless ferocity. Just as he tried to dodge, the Sword Qi had already struck, causing a spray of blood as his left arm was severed from his body and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ah!"

A dreadful scream echoed, startling many Martial Artists nearby.

"Young Master!"

As the black-robed young man’s arm was severed, his two black-robed followers were shocked and hurried over to support him, his pale complexion showing he had lost his arm too late to react.

"Damn it! How dare you cut off my arm; you are done for, all of you are done for," the black-robed young man roared with bloodshot eyes, completely hysterical.

"Harming our young master like this, he is the only son of our Alliance Hierarch, wait for the wrath of our Shadow Alliance!" The two black-robed followers took a deep breath; they too had not yet reached the Saint Realm and didn’t dare to clash with Xiao Lin. After dropping a venomous threat, they hurriedly left with the black-robed young man.

"Shadow Alliance? This guy is actually the young master of the Shadow Alliance; this could be troublesome." Ye Xuan and Zuo Shi were also on this antique street, and hearing the vicious words from the black-robed followers, Zuo Shi’s pretty face suddenly changed color.

"The Shadow Alliance doesn’t seem to be a very powerful force."

Ye Xuan recalled that there wasn’t such a powerful force as the Shadow Alliance in his memory.

"The Shadow Alliance isn’t well-known because they are not a mainstream power in the Central Domain but a dark organization adept at assassinations, tracking, and gathering intelligence. Especially in the Demon Ruins, they have considerable strength. Even if they aren’t as dominant as the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, a strong dragon still doesn’t suppress the local snakes. This time, we’ve made a big mistake," Zuo Shi shook her head and said.

"I see. That young man could be seen as not from an ordinary force; Brother Xiao Lin acted too ruthlessly upon their first encounter, it was indeed inappropriate."

Ye Xuan thought it was just a minor conflict at first, but didn’t expect Xiao Lin to go so far as to sever the other party’s arm in a disagreement. Such ruthless methods were unforgivably reckless.

"Xiao Lin, you’ve injured the young master of the Shadow Alliance and have brought massive trouble upon us. Do you want to get us all killed?"

Zuo Lingyun originally didn’t want to say much to Xiao Lin, but the latter had now caused a mess, and it was a big one at that. She couldn’t just stand by and watch.

"You didn’t hear just now? That kid said he’s the Young Master of the Shadow Alliance. The Shadow Alliance is an evil and crooked path, and everyone involved deserves to be killed. As a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, a sect with honor, it’s my duty to slay demons and uphold justice. How could there be a fault in that? As disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, we are all here to gain experience. Wouldn’t it be exciting for us to band together and kill those deviant members of the Shadow Alliance?" Xiao Lin, although fond of Zuo Lingyun, was not about to easily admit he was wrong, especially since he believed he was in the right.

"This shameless guy, not only does he refuse to admit when he’s wrong, but he also tries to drag all the other disciples into it," Zuo Shi grumbled discontently beside Ye Xuan.

"If Xiao Lin wasn’t so arrogantly self-centered and contemptuous of others, perhaps what just happened wouldn’t have occurred. However, that’s none of our business. The Shadow Alliance’s troubles should have nothing to do with us, right?" Ye Xuan expressed indifferently. Let the aggrieved parties seek their own revenge; the Shadow Alliance should take their grievances directly to Xiao Lin and not involve them.

Ye Xuan was on a much more important mission and had no time to get involved in such irrelevant matters.

"Kid, there seems to be something on that street stall that has the aura of the Earth Emperor Book."

Just then, the voice of the Human Emperor’s Scepter suddenly rang in Ye Xuan’s ear.

"What thing?"

Ye Xuan was startled. Any news concerning the Earth Emperor Book was far from ordinary.

"That ancient yellow metal piece, on the left side, the fourth one."

Following the voice’s guidance, Ye Xuan looked over and indeed saw a rusty, worn-out metal piece. It had no signs of spiritual energy fluctuations and looked no different from a piece of scrap copper.

"It’s that one, are you sure?"

Ye Xuan closely sensed the metal piece, but no matter how he used his soul power to probe, he could detect nothing unusual about it.

"Yes, I’m certain. The sensation is very faint, but it’s distinct—you wouldn’t be able to feel it," the Human Emperor’s Scepter insisted.

"Alright, I’ll trust you this time."

With a mindset of better too careful than negligent, Ye Xuan stopped at the stall and immediately put on a smile. He picked up a jade pendant next to the metal piece and said, "Sir, how much for this jade pendant?"

Seeing a potential sale, the vendor immediately beamed, extending two fingers. "Twenty thousand Spirit Crystals."

"That expensive?"

Ye Xuan scratched the back of his head, feigning an innocent and foolish look. "I feel a connection with this jade pendant, but twenty thousand Spirit Crystals for just one item feels like a bit of a loss, doesn’t it?"

"Young man, this is absolutely not a loss." The vendor immediately showcased his eloquence, praising the benefits of the jade pendant to the skies, then looked at Ye Xuan with a smug smile, thinking to himself that he should fleece this naïve Sect Disciple for all he’s worth.

"Alright then."

Ye Xuan seemed to hesitate for a moment before nodding. He then picked up the rusty metal piece, "How about this? I’ll buy the jade pendant, and you throw this thing in for free. Buy one, get one free—neither of us will lose out."

"Done."

The vendor’s eyes lit up, inwardly chuckling at what an idiot Ye Xuan was for not picking something more valuable, but instead choosing an item he couldn’t even sell—an item he’d gladly give away for free, let alone with a buy one, get one free deal.

However, while the vendor laughed at Ye Xuan for being a fool, little did he know that Ye Xuan was also internally chuckling. If Ye Xuan had asked directly for the metal piece from the start, it might have made the vendor suspicious. After all, why would someone put so much effort into buying what appeared to be nothing but junk? It would suggest that the item was actually a treasure, and the vendor might then inflate its price. Now, with this tactic, Ye Xuan effortlessly managed to take the metal piece into his possession.
