Chapter 647: 644: Isn't This Looking for Death?_1
Old Man Huayun watched Yang Chen come up, and coughed twice, “Young friend Yang Chen, are you here to exchange for that stick?”
“That’s right,” Yang Chen said respectfully.
Old man Huayun nodded, “Yang Chen, you know the rules, the Spirit Stones, you should have prepared them.”
“Of course, please have a look at them.” Yang Chen handed over the Spirit Stones.
Old man Huayun immediately counted the Spirit Stones, and was stunned at the sight. He never expected Yang Chen to actually come up with an equivalent amount of Spirit Stones.
However, the people around didn’t know what was going on, and for a moment, there was a lot of discussion.
“What’s going on?”
“Did Yang Chen bring enough Spirit Stones?”
“Don’t even think about it, this Yang Chen, where would he get that many…”
Before the words were finished, Old man Huayun handed the mysterious stick to Yang Chen.
“Young friend Yang Chen, this mysterious stick is yours now,” Old man Huayun said softly.
“Thank you, senior.” Yang Chen took the mysterious stick with great joy in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he had a somewhat resentful and unhappy expression, as if he had bought a deadly item.
For him, this mysterious stick was an extraordinary treasure, something that had a mysterious connection with the Purple Forbidden Soaring Dragon Spear, and he could not underestimate it. But he couldn’t show these things on his face, or he would arouse suspicion if discovered by others.
“This Yang Chen… actually came up with the same amount of Spirit Stones!”
“How did he, a loose cultivator, get so many Spirit Stones?”
“Who knows…”
As people discussed, on the way to the backstage of the Yellow Sand Auction, there were three people standing there. The one in the center was none other than Young Master Zhang Huafeng.
At that time, Zhang Huafeng was chatting happily with the two old men by his side. The two old men dressed strangely, with strange tattoos on their bodies, were obviously wild cultivator warriors who could do anything in Jianghu!
“Young Master Zhang, it’s not that we won’t make a move, but it’s not appropriate to do so in this Yellow Sand Auction, and besides, Old man Huayun is in the backstage. If we make a move on the surnamed Yang outside the backstage, it would only anger Old man Huayun, and we would have a hard time.” The two loose cultivators said with bitter smiles.
Zhang Huafeng was full of contempt in his heart.
Still pretending?
If the two of you are really as unwilling as you say, would you still follow me, Zhang Huafeng?
At that time, it was just a matter of restraint.
Zhang Huafeng sneered, “The two of you, we are all on the same side, so let’s not beat around the bush. You two have been stationed in Huangsha City for more than a few days. How many hands have you played? People don’t know, but do you really think I, Zhang Huafeng, don’t know?”
Hearing this, the two of them scratched their heads for a moment, not expecting Zhang Huafeng to know even these things.
“What nonsense about not being allowed to make a move in the main city of Huangsha, it’s just that you can’t do it openly. Just don’t let people get hold of the evidence when you make a move. The people in Huangsha City just turn a blind eye. As for Old man Huayun, he is notoriously indifferent. As long as you don’t snatch the treasures of the auction, even if the sky falls, he is still indifferent. He is not even a person from Huangsha City, how could he really work for Huangsha City!” Zhang Huafeng shouted.
“But…” The two were still hesitant.
“Alright, Elder Yuan and Elder Ci, if you two want Spirit Stones, just say so! Do I, Young Master Zhang, seem like a person who doesn’t know what’s going on?” Zhang Huafeng said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yuan and Ci snickered, “Young Master Zhang, you also know that although the two of us have reached the Second Layer of the True Martial Realm, in this Yellow Sand Auction, we are nothing.”
“I just want to know if you accept this job? If not, I will call someone else.” Zhang Huafeng’s face showed a hint of anger.
“No, we accept it. We just… Although we can kill Yang Chen in an instant, making a move in the Yellow Sand Auction, we would never be able to set foot in Huangsha City again. The Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, my two brothers don’t want that many, just a hundred of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones will do.” Yuan and Ci said.
“Why don’t you just go rob someone?” Zhang Huafeng could see through Yuan and Ci’s thoughts.
Yuan and Ci obviously thought that he had just over a hundred Spirit Stones.
They wanted to directly drain the pot, digging up everything he had.
Yuan and Ci had no shame or intention of hiding, saying, “Young Master Zhang, you should know that the person we killed was the Eastern Number One Genius, not an ordinary person. This environment, this time, one hundred Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, absolute will not be asking you too much.”
“Hmph, fine, one hundred Supreme Grade Spirit Stones it is. Oh, the person has come out, isn’t that Yang Chen? Alright, hurry up and make a move.” Zhang Huafeng instructed.
At the same time, Yang Chen had finished trading the mysterious stick and came out of the backstage.
Seeing this, Yuan and Ci had been waiting for a long time, and they were just about to make a move.
But just as they were about to make a move, suddenly, Yuan and Ci hesitated because Yang Chen came out, and the members of the Green Lotus Sect emerged from the backstage, talking and laughing happily with Yang Chen.
Upon seeing this, Yuan and Ci were stunned. Elder Yuan exclaimed in surprise, “Green Lotus Sect!”
Elder Ci had an angry look on his face, “I say, Young Master Zhang, are you trying to trap us? You didn’t say that this Yang Chen knew the Green Lotus Sect.”
“What’s going on?” Zhang Huafeng was also shocked by this sudden turn of events, as Yang Chen and the Green Lotus Sect actually knew each other? But soon, he said with a snarl, “What are you afraid of? This Yang Chen has nothing to do with the Green Lotus Sect, at most it’s just being on the same path. The Green Lotus Sect has nothing to do with Yang Chen, so why would they bother to protect him? Just make your move!”
“Nonsense!”
Yuan and Ci were furious, “Young Master Zhang, this Yang Chen obviously has a close relationship with the Green Lotus Sect. If it were just the same path, would they be talking with the Sect Leader? You want us to kill Yang Chen under the Green Lotus Sect’s watch? You’re sending us to our deaths, Young Master Zhang. We respect you, but that doesn’t mean you can send us to our deaths. Sorry, we’ll take our leave!”
With these words, Yuan and Ci left without looking back.
Killing Yang Chen was difficult, but they were willing to accept it. They could at least avoid stepping into Huangsha City after killing him and causing trouble.
But killing Yang Chen under the Green Lotus Sect’s watch? Wasn’t that a death wish?
