Chapter 306: Chapter 303 Enemies MeetTwo young girls clad in blood-red robes, their chests embroidered with a fierce beast resembling a lizard and even their pupils blood-red, seemed to be disciples of the Demonic Blood Sect, attracting quite a bit of attention from the martial artists. Ye Xuan and Honglian Envoy, both dressed in casual attire, didn’t draw much attention. However, due to Honglian Envoy’s beauty, she often attracted unwanted covetous glances and even blatant violations, which, of course, invariably ended with the offenders being beaten back. Later, Honglian Envoy deliberately released her aura. With her Sixth Grade Demon King realm, no one dared to offend her anymore. On both sides of the city streets, many stalls were set up, and shouts filled the air. "Just out of the furnace, Blood Essence Pills, only selling for a hundred Xuanyuan Pills, good quality and cheap, can strengthen the body and replenish blood and kidney..." "Earth-grade Spiritual Medicine just picked yesterday, don’t miss out as you pass by." "Midnight Blade, Low-level Heavenly Grade weapon, cuts through iron like mud, valued at ten thousand Xuanyuan Pills, young man, come take a look. Even if you don’t buy it for yourself, you can get it as a gift for the lady next to you, as the saying goes, a fine blade is well paired with a beauty, hey, don’t go..." Ye Xuan, however, was only casually looking, as most of the items sold here were common goods, and none really caught his eye. "Ye Xuan, I heard you moved out of Skyfire Hall, what happened, did you have a fight with Yu Yi?" While walking through the street, Honglian Envoy couldn’t help but look at Ye Xuan, surprised by the news. Judging from their relationship, it should have been progressing well. Why did he move out now? "Too much trouble." Ye Xuan shook his head; he was a person who disliked being restrained, and Yu Yi’s temperament was indeed hard to tolerate for most people. "Couples, right? They fight at the head of the bed and reconcile at the end of it. Give it three or five days, once the anger subsides, they’ll reconcile," Honglian Envoy said with a smile. "Uh... we are not a couple. Sometimes, what you see might not be the truth. Both you and Huoyou Demon Venerable have misunderstood," Ye Xuan tried to explain. "Come on, you don’t need to hide it, we’ll keep your secret," Honglian Envoy obviously didn’t believe what Ye Xuan said. As the saying goes, ’Hearing is false, seeing is believing.’ If she couldn’t trust what she saw with her own eyes, then what could she believe? At this point, Ye Xuan didn’t bother to argue; he didn’t care much about what others thought. "We’re here." As they chatted while walking, they had already arrived in front of a tall black building. The building wasn’t magnificent, but it was imposing. The stream of people going in and out was impressive. Numerous members of the Demon Clan, clad in colorful attire, paid a hundred Xuanyuan Pills as the entrance fee before they were allowed inside. In the Demon Beast World, the value of Xuanyuan Pills was significantly higher than in the Human Clan’s territories, as there were few among the Demon Clan skilled in alchemy. A large number of Xuanyuan Pills were still traded from the Human Clan’s lands; therefore, the circulation of Xuanyuan Pills in the Demon Clan areas wasn’t very large. What one could buy with a hundred Xuanyuan Pills in the Demon Beast World, would probably cost double that in the Beichen Domain. Having paid the entrance fee, Ye Xuan and Honglian Envoy entered the Black Market. The Black Market looked small on the surface, but it was vast on the inside, and the auction hall was located underground. The largest area of the Black Market was this underground level, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people without any crowding. The auction hall was very spacious. In the more open-view areas, there were specialized boxes set up, reserved only for those of significant status and identity; merely having money was insufficient. "Find us a seat closer." Once inside the auction hall, Honglian Envoy waved at a server. At first, the server was somewhat hesitant, but after Honglian Envoy revealed her identity, his attitude did a complete one-eighty, becoming extremely warm. "You two, please sit here. However, it would require an additional five hundred Xuanyuan Pills," the server respectfully said. "That’s not a problem, bring us some of the best food and drinks," Honglian Envoy nodded and then instructed. "In this Black Market, identity is a very important label, but just make it clear that you are a core member of Sky Demon Mountain, and no one will dare to slight you." Honglian Envoy dismissed the server and then looked towards Ye Xuan, but at this moment, his gaze had fallen in another direction. Following his line of sight, she saw several familiar figures seated together. Among them, a beautiful woman dressed in colorful clothing was none other than Yu Yi. She was flanked by seven or eight young men and women, but the most powerful aura belonged to a handsome young man in a green robe, and another man with a robust physique whose muscles were as tangled as gnarled vines. The two men beside Yu Yi were extremely enthusiastic, trying to win her favor, while laughter continuously drifted over. "It’s Young Master Blood Python and Young Master Hu, the two most outstanding sons of the Blood Python Demon Venerable and Hu Venerate. They always try to please Yu Yi every day. What, are you jealous seeing them together?" Honglian Envoy recognized the two young men and looked at Ye Xuan, smiling as she spoke. "I’m just curious to look." Ye Xuan merely glanced once, then withdrew his gaze. What did it matter to him who the woman was with? Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, the Honglian Envoy still harbored some disbelief, suspecting that Ye Xuan was only saying words, that he must be feeling uncomfortable inside. It is often said that women get jealous easily, but actually, men are more prone to jealousy most of the time. Their voices, unrestrained, continued to reach his ears; however, no matter how much they tried to please, Yu Yi’s face seemed covered with a layer of ice. Although her demeanor was hardly warm on other days, today it was distinctly off. "Yu Yi, you seem rather unhappy today. Has someone displeased you? Tell me, I’ll surely take his head for you," said Young Master Hu, perceiving something amiss in Yu Yi and speaking with a hint of chill in his eyes. "Who else could it be? I suppose it’s that despicable Ye Xuan," Young Master Blood Python said with a smirk, acting as though he knew everything. "Oh, how so?" Young Master Hu queried, dumbfounded. "You may not know this, Young Master Hu, but Ye Xuan is a lad who only joined Huoyou Peak recently. His strength is not much to speak of, but he is cunning and full of smooth talk. Relying on his slight talents, he insisted on staying in the Skyfire Hall, clinging to Yu Yi persistently. It was said he bothered Yu Yi for a long time until he was driven out of Skyfire Hall three days ago," explained Young Master Blood Python. "What! Such a shameless fellow exists? Hmmph, don’t let me see him, or I’ll make him kneel and beg for mercy, wishing he were dead." Young Master Hu remembered the name Ye Xuan with a cold expression. "Yes, Yu Yi, why let such a petty person affect your mood?" remarked Young Master Blood Python in a sarcastic tone. Hearing the consolation from the two men, Yu Yi’s heart sank further. They had no idea what was troubling her; Ye Xuan hadn’t been driven out by her but had left on his own accord. That’s what bothered her the most; what right did Ye Xuan have to come and go as he pleased, completely disregarding her feelings? Yu Yi and the group, including Young Master Blood Python, were quite conspicuous at the auction event; on the other hand, Ye Xuan and the Honglian Envoy had concealed their presence. Thus, Ye Xuan soon spotted Yu Yi and her companions, but they did not notice Ye Xuan and his companion. As time passed, the number of attendees at the venue steadily increased. Gradually, the private seats were occupied, even the common seats were becoming scarcer, and the atmosphere in the area began to heat up steadily. Near Ye Xuan’s location, several individuals dressed in blue garments with a lake embroidered on their chests sat down; among them, the leading one was a handsome young man in blue. "That must be the renowned Green Dragon Prince, Zhou Ying, from Green Lake Island." Many eyes fell on the young man in blue, filled with awe. Green Lake Island was a well-known Fourth Grade Demon Clan power nearby, and its Island Master was herself a Half-step Demon Venerable, possessing formidable strength. "Miss Bi Rou, please take a seat," Zhou Ying said courteously to a woman beside him, whose exquisite features were slightly visible beneath her veiled face. Bi Rou nodded and sat next to Zhou Ying. She scanned the surroundings before her gaze landed on Ye Xuan and a flicker of shock crossed her eyes, "It’s actually him." "What’s wrong?" Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Zhou Ying frowned slightly and asked. "It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack but finding it without effort. Didn’t think he’d appear here. Brother Zhou, it’s him. He’s the ungrateful beast who killed my father." Bi Rou took a deep breath, struggling to contain her excitement. After escaping from Heavenly Cloud Island, she had been searching for Ye Xuan for a long time, and unexpectedly, she had encountered him at this black market auction. "Oh? This lad?" Hearing this, Zhou Ying raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze to Ye Xuan, staring coldly, "A mere Third Grade Demon King, a minor character. Once the auction is over, I’ll take care of him; you needn’t worry." "Okay." Fire of hatred glinted in Bi Rou’s eyes. If not for Ye Xuan, how would her father have died, and how would she have ended up in her current wretched state? Now that she finally encountered him, she was determined to personally exact revenge on Ye Xuan and avenge her father.
