Chapter 69 Seeking Revenge

  Inside the luxurious suite of Luo Yu's faction, several women gritted their teeth.

  Chen Lan said with a scowl, "I knew it, the Haoran faction would definitely intercept us. These bastards, our strength is already inferior to theirs. If we let them get their hands on the Frost Ice Symbol, and enter the ancient storage, we won't have much of an advantage."

  The freckled girl said, "Sister Chen, the 9,000 yuan Qi Dan is already our bottom line. If we take it all out, we won't even have enough to recover and heal from injuries. The Haoran Sect must also have a bottom line. If we compete with them, we will both suffer losses and end up letting the Evil Wind Gate seize the opportunity instead. Why not retreat first and let Sister Zhan think of a solution after meeting with her?"

  Chen Lan thought for half a day and still couldn't think of any solution, so she could only helplessly nod her head.

  Luo Yu's faction had been silent for half a day, and Qi Shixiong sneered with a smile: "Women are women, at the critical moment, they just can't hold on."

  The man in green also stopped shouting prices, as if the 9,000 yuan of Yuan Qi Dan had also exceeded his bottom line.

  "Nine thousand Yuan Qi Dan at once!" Song Shu shouted loudly.

  Half a response, but no reply in the end.

  "9,000 yuan for the Spirit Dan twice." Song Shu said slowly, "If no one else bids, this Ice Symbol will go to the VIP upstairs."

  "Two thousand yuan for the Qi Dan!" Xia Chen said calmly.

  Boom!

  It was as if a heavy bomb had exploded, causing the entire trading floor to buzz with excitement. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xia Chen, filled with an expression of utmost shock.

  "Two million yuan of Qi Dan, heavens! Did I just hear that right? Two million Qi Dans are enough to establish a mid-sized cultivation family in Yunyang City. What kind of person is this guy, to have such wealth?"

  "How is this possible?! Two thousand yuan worth of ginseng would be a small mountain even if it were piled on the ground, how could he possibly carry it? Could it be... that he has some kind of treasure like a storage pouch on him?"

  "Heavens, save me! Two million yuan's worth of Qi-restoring pellets, if they all fall on me, I'll be crushed to death!"

  "That Na Xue Ming still wants to compete with him in terms of Yuan Qi Dan, now it's really a case of overestimating oneself."

  Immediately, everyone's evaluation of Xia Chen reached an unprecedented level.

  Song Shu was also shocked, as the deputy master of Baibao Pavilion, he had presided over countless trading sessions, but someone like Xia Chen, who could casually produce 20,000 yuanqi dan, was almost unheard of.

  What's this young man's background?

  It's not just Song Shuli, but also a middle-aged man with a stern expression behind the trading floor and several elderly people behind him are all shocked.

  "I was blind, I really was blind." The stern middle-aged man muttered to himself, "Originally, I thought he was just a spoiled son of a wealthy and powerful family from outside, but now it seems that's not the case at all. Either this person is unfathomable or he represents a mysterious and powerful force, or even its mastermind."

  "Your Excellency! How can you be certain he is not a son of an outsider's family?" an elderly man asked doubtfully.

  "That pavilion owner sneered: 'Which family would let their young master carry 20,000 yuanqi dan around? Even if it's my Baibao Pavilion, it's hard to take out 20,000 yuanqi dan all at once. Two million yuanqi dan can pile up a mountain! This person only wore one cloak, definitely has a storage bag, a storage bag that allows post-heaven cultivators to use, do you have one now?"

  The elderly were all embarrassed smiles, they were all elders of the Treasure Pavilion, with high positions and heavy powers, but also did not have the qualifications to use storage bags.

  The old man who spoke earlier hesitated and said, "Your Excellency, this person is extremely wealthy and his identity is shrouded in mystery. Should we investigate his background to see what kind of person he really is?"

  The master's face sank: "Elder Xu, you can't investigate the client's identity. This is our rule. You are an elder yourself, how can you do this? For such a big customer, not only can't we investigate, but we should also try to please him. If you offend him, who knows when there will be a fatal disaster!"

  Xu Zhanglao sighed and said: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

  At this time, in the single room of the Haoran faction, Qi Shixiong was already furious: "Damn it, who is this bastard? He actually dared to scan our Haoran faction's face, after the transaction is over, we must catch him and tear him into pieces."

  Yan Bing didn't say a word, but instead coldly sized up the figure under the cloak, her eyes filled with suspicion. After a moment, she shook her head again.

  He thought a thousand times, ten thousand times, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't have imagined that the person below would be Xia Chen.

  In the luxurious suite of the Luo Yu faction, Chen Lan and three other women were both shocked and delighted.

  "This person has twenty thousand yuan of spiritual energy, and dares to provoke the face of the Haoran faction. It seems that his strength is not to be underestimated. We don't have to make an enemy out of him either. Let's let him fight with the Haoran faction instead, then we can reap the benefits!" Chen Lan said.

  "Sister Shifu is really calculating!" The other three women exclaimed in unison.

  "I've underestimated this person! Someone who can produce 20,000 yuan worth of Qi Dan is no ordinary person. Even if I couldn't kill him, at least I should make contact with him!" The man in the green robe also furrowed his brow and pondered in the VIP room.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to bid again? If not, the Glacial Token will go to this Daoist friend!" Song Shu finally regained his composure and shouted loudly.

  Everyone was staring at him with eager eyes, thinking that whoever could take out 20,000 yuanqi dan would be given to them.

  Song Shuli said a few more times and saw that no one was responding, so he announced that the Cold Ice Symbol belonged to Xia Chen.

  Then came the handover process, 20,000 yuanqi dan was not a small number, Xia Chen directly took out a huge bag and threw it out, carried away by two strong men from Baibao Pavilion, then put away the hàn bīng fú.

  Although this move was quite showy and would make people suspect that he had a storage bag, taking out the most valuable items was inevitable, and Xia Chen couldn't care about that anymore.

  Everyone's eyes were burning as they stared at him, their gaze becoming extremely fierce, thinking that this person had so many yuanqi dan and a storage bag, if they could rob it...

  "Wait a bit and then leave. We must kill this scoundrel, plunder all his treasures, to vent the hatred in my heart!" Qi Shi brother said viciously.

  "Absolutely not." Yan Bing suddenly shook her head.

  "Why?" Qi Shixiong was taken aback.

  "Qī Shīxiōng, someone who can produce 20,000 yuan worth of Qi Dan and dares to be so arrogant, how could they be an ordinary person? This kind of person is absolutely impossible to be a loose cultivator; otherwise, they wouldn't have lived until now. Behind him, there must be a very strong power supporting him. Our Hàorán Pài may not fear anyone, but 'a tall tree attracts the wind'. Moreover, the Luòyǔ Pài is still keeping an eye on us, and who knows if they're hoping we'll both suffer losses at each other's hands? We can't let them have their way!" Yán Bīng said calmly.

  He analyzed it again, meticulously and reasonably, almost comparable to a veteran who had been in the business for many years. If Xia Chen heard this, he would definitely be greatly surprised.

  Nazhi Shixiong reluctantly said: "According to what you're saying, we can only swallow this breath?"

  "It's not endurance, but temporary tolerance." Yan Bing said, "Since this person is so generous, he must also be rushing to the ancient treasure. I think with his power, it's very likely that he also has a treasured key! We are not convenient now, let's wait for Ling Shixiong to return and then find another opportunity to kill him in the ancient treasure!"

  "Good!" Qi Shi brother sneered, "Let's wait until we enter Gu Zang and then get rid of him!"

  "Everyone, tonight's trading session has come to an end! If anyone hasn't obtained the items they desire, you can register at my Baibao Pavilion. Additionally, we have also organized a special self-trading session for cultivators; if any of you are willing to participate, please stay behind!"

  Several big men came up and carried away the trading counter.

  Everyone saw this and stood up to leave, but there were also many monks who had nothing to gain and stayed behind, preparing to make another attempt in the self-trading arena.

  Xia Chen also followed the crowd's movement. He had a bountiful harvest today and didn't need to trade with others on his own anymore.

  As he walked towards the entrance, Xia Chen could feel many people staring at him with wolf-like eyes, their intention to rob and kill was so intense that it was barely being controlled in the trading hall, and as soon as they stepped out, they would immediately start fighting and robbing.

  Xia Chen's face was expressionless, but the true energy within his body was secretly rising. The power of Half-Step Later Heaven Sixth Order circulated unceasingly, and the Splitting Heaven Edge was always ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment!

  He had just walked out of the trading floor when a cold voice rang out in front of him: "You scum, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You really dare to come out?"

  Xia Chen looked up and saw Qian Xue Ming hugging his arm, standing in front of him with a face full of resentment.

  Behind him stood three expressionless men, all dressed in gray guard uniforms, with Yang Shu standing in the middle.

  "Is this the guy who made you lose 2,000 yuan of Qi Dan? Don't worry, I'll make him spit out everything, including his skin and bones." a guard with a ferocious face said.

  He walked up with a ferocious and sinister expression, sneering: "You little brat, hand over everything on you right now, then kneel down and bark like a dog one hundred times. If you do that, I'll spare your life. You dare to provoke our Master Qian? You really don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

  At this time, many practitioners had already walked out of the venue and saw this scene, they all surrounded them.

  Many people have the intention of killing Xia Chen and stealing the treasure, but they are also worried that whoever makes the first move will become the target of everyone's attack. Therefore, seeing Qian Xue Ming bring the Qian family guards to wait for revenge is exactly what they had hoped for.

  "Are you a Postnatal Fivefold?" Xia Chen looked at the guard and suddenly asked.

  The guard burst out laughing, his entire skeleton crackling with a loud explosion. In the blink of an eye, he grew several inches taller, looking like a small giant as he gazed down at Xia Chen: "You little brat, you actually have some insight to see through my cultivation. Now, die for me!"

  He clenched his fist as big as a bowl and was about to heavily smash it onto Xia Chen's head.

  Bang!

  A dull, muffled sound came, the guard's face suddenly froze, then slowly lowered his head, looking at Xia Chen's fist that had been punched out at some point, hitting him right in the chest.

  Xia Chen slowly withdrew his fist and then walked past him with a expressionless face towards Qian Xue Ming.

  Hmph!

  The guard turned around in horror, pointing at Xia Chen, as if he wanted to say something, but what came out of his mouth was deep red blood and countless fragments of internal organs.

  He then slowly fell back, and in the instant he hit the ground, his entire skeleton shattered into powder!
