“Young Master! Please do not call out anymore?”
Yang Hui’s tender, coquettish remark made Ye Chu want to slap her soft, plump bottom hard. “If you call out again, I will sell you to settle the debt!”
Yang Hui stood giggling beside Ye Chu. After watching Nuo Ran call out a few more times, the Jasper Jade fell into the hands of the owner of Box Number Two.
The crowd watched the Jasper Jade being delivered, each one clicking their tongues in astonishment. To spend over a hundred thousand Green Origin Pills on such an item, what kind of brain sickness was that?
Ye Chu watched the Jasper Jade being sent away. Though he felt reluctant, he did not dwell on it too much. It would be best if he could obtain it, but if not, so be it. Ye Chu did not believe he could research anything from it, but having it by his side would always be good. With slow exploration, he could always uncover some clues.
“Today’s auction ends here! Thank you all for your patronage today. The next auction will be in one week. I hope everyone can attend again. Of course, I also hope everyone can advance to the next stop on the Path of Proud Heavens.” Nuo Ran smiled sweetly, her entire being alluring and enchanting, making hearts race.
Ye Chu led Yang Hui and the others out. As the crowd exited the auction house, slaughter instantly broke out. Many cultivators began snatching items that auction-goers had won.
Outside the auction house, all sorts of combat energies shot about. This made Ye Chu frown. He now somewhat understood why Nuo Ran had warned from the start that after leaving the auction house, she would no longer be responsible for their safety.
This was the Path of Proud Heavens. No morality, no ethics. Everything was decided by strength. In this city, open plundering ran rampant.
Ye Chu strode away, having no intention of participating in the chaos here. However, just because he did not seek trouble did not mean others would not seek him out.
The group prepared to leave, but halfway there, Ye Chu suddenly felt a gust of fierce wind shooting toward him. His figure rapidly retreated, avoiding the gust. The wind slammed into the ground, blasting out a deep crater.
At some unknown point, several young men stood before Ye Chu. Their strength was not weak. One of them even held a Sun-Moon Weapon, precisely the one just won from the auction.
Ye Chu looked at the group, his expression cold. “Do you lot wish to die, or do you not wish to live?”
“You are Ye Chu?” The young man holding the Sun-Moon Weapon stared at Ye Chu, a few degrees of coldness at the corners of his mouth.
“What is the matter?” Ye Chu was puzzled, not knowing how the other party recognised him.
“You may have forgotten the matter with the Three Origin Sect. However, what we want to tell you is that once you reach this city, you must crawl and behave!” Several young men glowered at Ye Chu. “Kneel down and beg for mercy!”
Ye Chu suddenly laughed, thinking that he did not know where these few greenhorns had popped up from, yet they dared to cause trouble for him. Truly courting death!
“Your joke is not bad. It has cheered me up. I will not quibble over your sneak attack just now, but get out of my way now!” Ye Chu knew that Wang Fang must have told them after arriving here. Though Ye Chu found it troublesome, he was not afraid of these people.
“Hmph!” Several young men surrounded Ye Chu. “Rumour has it you killed Junior Brother Wei Tu! We would like to see just what abilities you possess to have killed him?”
“It is best not to provoke me. I fear you cannot afford to!” Ye Chu stared at the young men. “Come looking for trouble when you possess the strength of a King.”
Yet these few showed disdain. With their combined efforts and the Sun-Moon Weapon, fighting a King would be no problem. Since the other party did not know death when they saw it, let them taste their methods.
Ye Chu looked at the other party, his expression cold, but he soon laughed again. Gazing at the Sun-Moon Weapon, he said, “Very well. I originally did not wish to join the crowd in plundering, but since you have delivered yourselves to my door, it would be impolite of me not to accept.”
Ye Chu’s figure rapidly flashed, shooting toward one of the cultivators.
When these few saw Ye Chu’s speed was as swift as a hurricane, their expressions changed slightly. They shouted loudly, “Form the array!”
Under their shouted command, streams of power shot out, intending to join forces to deal with Ye Chu.
These few were all of extraordinary strength. Otherwise, they would not dare to walk the Path of Proud Heavens. Their combined efforts plus the Sun-Moon Weapon truly gave them the strength to challenge a King. In their view, such power was more than enough to handle Ye Chu.
But before their formation could even be set up, Ye Chu’s figure had already shot before them. Ye Chu sent a palm strike toward the cultivator at the very centre.
“With your meagre strength, you actually think you can do anything to me?” Ye Chu sneered, unconcerned even as he watched the other party’s Sun-Moon Weapon sweep toward him.
Though the other disciple knew Ye Chu was strong, seeing Ye Chu strike at him with a single palm, his expression showed disdain. He thought that without the Sun-Moon Weapon he might have feared him, but with the Sun-Moon Weapon in hand, blocking a single strike was nothing. Once everyone successfully formed the array, handling Ye Chu would be effortless.
But his contempt had not lasted long before he saw Ye Chu sweep his palm directly toward the Sun-Moon Weapon. On his palm was a strange flower, and when this flower manifested, it emitted an peculiar aura.
The other party’s expression changed drastically. He suddenly felt the Sun-Moon Weapon in his hand was somewhat uncontrollable, as if it were about to fly out of his grasp.
Though he had just obtained this Sun-Moon Weapon, he had refined it and could barely utilise it. But at this moment, the Sun-Moon Weapon was inexplicably about to fly from his palm.
“Seize!”
Ye Chu shouted loudly. The sentiment flower on his body shot out, and as the sentiment flower shot forth, the Sun-Moon Weapon whistled through the air and landed in Ye Chu’s hand.
The other disciple looked at Ye Chu in horror, terror in his eyes. He could not believe that the Sun-Moon Weapon in his hand had inexplicably ended up in Ye Chu’s possession. Was this sorcery?
Ye Chu toyed with the Sun-Moon Weapon in his hand, thinking that this item was not bad and could fetch a good price.
However, the terror of the Seizing Profundity was also revealed. With a move of his hand, he could easily seize the other party’s weapon.
Ye Chu casually tossed the Sun-Moon Weapon to Yang Hui and turned his gaze toward the group. The faces of the group had long turned pale. If he could so easily seize the Sun-Moon Weapon, then he was indeed not someone they could provoke.
Recalling what Wang Fang had said, they suddenly regretted their actions, thinking they should not have provoked Ye Chu.
Watching the group that wanted to flee, Ye Chu smiled as he looked at them. “You may leave, but strip naked and leave behind all your wealth. Otherwise, die…”
A single sentence made the group exchange glances. Just as they wanted to forcefully retort, Ye Chu’s figure appeared before one young man. His hand gripped the man’s neck, and only the sound of shattering bones was heard. A cultivator died just like that. This scene made the entire group’s hearts shudder. Their faces turned deathly pale as they handed over everything they possessed.
“Take off your clothes too!” Ye Chu shouted at the young men.
Ye Jingyun, seeing Ye Chu act this way, spat in contempt, thinking this fellow was truly disgusting. What did he want them to strip for? Did he want to admire their physiques? Since when did Ye Chu develop a taste for both men and women?
