Fighting Outside the Mysterious Bookstore
Faced with the straightforward yet greedy Yun Qingyang, Ma Feifei ultimately lost to her. He told Yun Qingyang with a heavy heart that he couldn't buy her batch of Ma Feifei.
And then... that was it.
Meanwhile, the Wantong Trading Market was also abuzz when a cultivator came to exchange an Orange Fragment for one million Spirit Crystal.
"Sigh, what a lucky guy!" A cultivator said enviously, watching the masked man in black receive the spatial bag from the staff.
"Yes! One hundred Spirit Crystal, multiplied ten thousand times in one night. Even President Gongsun's ability to make money is no better than this," another cultivator exclaimed.
This million-dollar bounty mission released by the Mysterious Bookstore is truly a bounty for cultivators. Apart from needing to spend one hundred Spirit Crystal to buy talismans, the mission is unbelievably easy to complete. Anyone with Spirit Master Stage Five or above can easily slay the evil spirits and obtain Orange Fragment, which can be exchanged for one million Spirit Crystal.
In this situation, all cultivators who obtain Orange Fragment are considered lucky, because it doesn't require you to be particularly strong.
"Maybe they didn't even spend a single Spirit Crystal," one cultivator said with a look of envy.
"That's possible. It's said that many vengeful ghosts appeared in Dubian Town last night, but it seems that only one Orange Fragment was found, which is the same vengeful ghost that the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion discovered. This man in black is wearing a spirit robe that conceals his aura, so he's definitely not from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion." Another cultivator Analytic, watching the masked man in black walk outside.
Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing with his Analytic. If the masked man in black was indeed from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion, he wouldn't need to be masked when exchanging Spirit Crystal, since the Orange Fragment should have belonged to the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion in the first place.
"Look, the people from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion have come in!" At this moment, a cultivator shouted, pointing to the entrance of the Wantong Trading Market.
Everyone looked up and saw that the leader of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion was leading his superiors toward the masked man in black.
"This is going to be good." Everyone stopped talking and stared at the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion and the masked man in black when they saw this.
The noise in the entire Wantong Trading Market gradually subsided. Slowly, everyone sensed something was wrong and turned to look in the direction that had caused the commotion. The market instantly fell silent.
The masked man in black seemed oblivious to all of this and continued walking unhurriedly towards the door.
"Halt!" The group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion blocked the face of the masked man in black, and a middle-aged man next to the pavilion master shouted coldly.
Blocked from the front, the masked man had no choice but to stop and stand five meters away, quietly watching the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion opposite him.
"Did you take that fragment from our Heavenly Fiend Pavilion yesterday?" The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion Master looked at the masked man and said in a deep voice.
They had just received news from their sect disciples that someone had gone to the Wantong Trading Market to exchange for Orange Fragment. According to information from this morning, only the vengeful ghost captured by the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion last night dropped a fragment. Therefore, the fragment in the masked man in black's hand is very likely the one dropped by their Heavenly Fiend Pavilion.
"Get out of the way," the masked man in black said calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
'Hiss~!'
The onlookers gasped in shock at the masked man's Power Trip.
"He's just a Spirit Ancestor Stage Five cultivator, how dare he speak like that in front of a group of important figures at the Spirit King level!" a cultivator exclaimed in astonishment.
"Judging from the voice, he seems quite young. Perhaps he's just a fearless newborn calf," another cultivator said, shaking his head, unsure how to explain.
Faced with a group of powerful figures at the Spirit King level, the masked man in black, who only had the cultivation level of the Spirit Ancestor Stage Five, was completely powerless to resist.
In short, no one in the market had a good impression of the masked man in black.
The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion Master stared at the masked man in black with a grim expression and said, "Produce one million Spirit Crystal, and this matter will be over."
The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion is just a small sect. As the sect leader, his strength is only at the Spirit King eighth stage. One million Spirit Crystal are a lot for them. Most importantly, everyone in the trading market knows that the fragment the masked man in black is exchanging for is the one that the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion revealed last night. If the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion does nothing about it, it will inevitably affect their sect's status on the Azure Dragon Continent.
Of course, if the masked man in black had a cultivation level above Spirit Venerable, then the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion wouldn't have appeared here. To put it bluntly, they felt resentful and humiliated that the fragment had been taken by a cultivator with only the Spirit Ancestor Stage Five cultivation.
"If you're so capable, come and take it yourselves," the masked man said coldly, walking straight toward the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion.
"Whoosh!"
The masked man's words instantly stunned the cultivators in the trading market, leaving them dumbfounded as they stared at the masked man in black.
They'd seen Power Trip before, but that was always based on strength. This was the first time they'd ever seen a masked man in black act so Power Trip without any real power.
Even the group from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion were stunned. As the masked man approached, they instinctively parted to the sides, making way for him.
The masked man walked out from among them.
This scene left a group of people dumbfounded.
"Stop him!" The Heavenly Fiend Pavilion Master finally reacted, his face already quite frightening, and strode outside.
The other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion rushed out of the trading market to try and stop the masked man.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Upon seeing this, the cultivators in the trading market all spoke up, ceasing their buying and selling and rushing outside.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
As soon as they left the trading market, several high-ranking members of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion used their Spiritual Power to leap into the air and directly over the masked man. Apart from the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion, there were a total of six high-ranking members, who were divided into six positions and surrounded the masked man in the middle.
The sudden and dire situation startled the cultivators passing by on the long street. They all stopped and looked at the scene with puzzled expressions. After the informed onlookers learned the reason, they stopped walking and watched the scene with great interest.
Next to the Wantong Trading Market is the Wantong Tavern, which used to be bustling with activity. But after hearing from someone that there was a fight outside, everyone stopped drinking and chatting and came out to watch.
Across the street is the Mysterious Bookstore. Unlike the other places, Uproar outside, the Mysterious Bookstore remains quiet. Occasionally, a book lover will glance up outside, but after a few seconds, they will look back and continue reading.
Zhang Yunji had taken Ma Feifei's small stool and was sitting by the door reading when he suddenly saw what was happening. He paused for a moment, then used his thumb to close the book and called into the Bookstore, "Shopkeeper, there's a fight outside. Should we do something about it?"
Ma Feifei, leaning over the cashier's counter, covered her face with one hand and drew talismans with Ballpoint Pen in the other. Hearing this, she said irritably, "We run Bookstore, not a charity shop. What business is it of yours?"
'Hiss~'
Because his mouth was stretched quite wide when he spoke, it aggravated his nerves, Ma Feifei couldn't help but gasp and rub the corner of his mouth.
"You mother dragon, you Laozi wait!"
