From the very beginning, Ye Feng felt that the Hostess had some issues. Firstly, compared to the previous male host, this Hostess lacked any semblance of a host's demeanor; every word and action was painfully stiff, as if she had just been thrown onto the stage at the last minute!
If it were only this, it wouldn't have raised Ye Feng's ultimate suspicion. However, when that young man made his appearance and spoke provocatively, the Hostess's reaction was not natural enough. Although her later display of differing stances made it impossible to associate her with him as an accomplice, something felt off.
But Ye Feng was no ordinary person; he could observe subtle details that others might miss! Perhaps it was due to his experiences from two lifetimes, but he sensed an ambiguous relationship between the woman and the young man! This was evident from the young man's evasive movements and his behavior!
At his level, there was no need to take a hostage! In such dark Exchanges, if one truly wanted to keep someone, would they care about the hostage's life or death? A person with even a little common sense would prioritize their own escape over dragging along a hostage!
Yet now, this young man insisted on taking this woman with him, revealing many details that exposed his intentions!
However, this inconsistency should not have been pointed out by Ye Feng. The young man looked at him with increasingly unfriendly eyes but ultimately did not take action. He merely said lightly, "Brother has good eyesight. However, if Brother intends to help this Exchange, I must kindly remind you that doing so will not bring you any benefits!"
Ye Feng smiled; he had never intended to gain anything from this Exchange. It was just that this guy had disrupted his plans right from the start. Taking away the Nine Curves Reincarnation was one thing, but now that the Auction House had been thrown into chaos, where would he find the materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill?
He couldn't just learn from this guy and directly rob him, could he?
Therefore, Ye Feng thought of a plan: if he could help the Exchange keep this guy around, perhaps he could exchange that for the Nine Origin Root and Flame Dragon Grass without spending a dime!
"Whether or not you can decide that is up to you. My advice is to drop that sword and run as far as you can!" Ye Feng said.
Upon hearing this, the young man finally showed a hint of anger and shouted directly, "You little brat! You refuse to drink the wine offered and instead seek punishment! Prepare to die! Look at my sword!"
In an instant, the young man pointed Cold Edge forward; Azure Thunder bent and erupted into nine beams of light! The power driven by runes rapidly fermented, directly forming a terrifying Destruction Strike!
Only at close range could Ye Feng truly feel how extraordinary this sword was. It made sense that a Late Stage Gale Martial Realm expert had been sent flying in one blow! At least with his Golden Dragon Sword, unless he unleashed seven different powers simultaneously, he wouldn't be able to match such might!
Without time to think further, Ye Feng summoned the Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear as an ancient artifact! As soon as the Shattering Immortal Spear appeared, Thunder Light was immediately pierced through! The collision of their powers caused the Auction House to explode into a cloud of dust!
With visibility impaired, Ye Feng retreated several steps and immediately released his Divine Consciousness to search. Sure enough, that kid planned to escape amidst the chaos! Just as he intended to pursue him, however, he was locked onto by a Martial Saint's aura. Following that came a powerful finger strike!
"Damn it! These old guards! Do they have any idea what's going on? I'm helping you!" Ye Feng was nearly fuming, hastily dodging as the pointed energy brushed past him, followed by a terrifying explosion ahead!
Amidst the dust, the young man's laughter echoed, "Brother, it seems our relationship has been exposed. Let's escape together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several senses locked onto Ye Feng. His body shook in the dust, and he immediately cursed, "Damn it!" However, there was no time for explanations now. He activated all his True Energy and combined Raging Thunder Step with Wind Step, preparing to break through and flee!
On the other side, the young man and the woman acted swiftly, taking advantage of her familiarity with the Exchange. They quickly reached the back of the Exchange, which was the most crucial area typically guarded by the strongest individuals because it housed many precious items!
Just a few peak Gangwu Realm experts were not enough to pose a threat to the young man. He swiftly dealt with them using the power of Nine Curves Reincarnation, instantly sweeping away the enemies before pulling out his storage bag and frantically collecting treasures!
Various Martial Techniques and equipment were stuffed into his storage bag. At this moment, Ye Feng also caught up and was stunned by this bandit's actions!
The young man smiled nonchalantly and said, "Friend, I apologize. If you don't mind, we can split things seventy-thirty! But for now, let's hurry and escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng wanted to retaliate, but a more terrifying aura emerged from behind!
"How dare you cause trouble here! Where do you think you're going?" A deep voice pierced through everyone's eardrums. Even with Ye Feng's peak mid-stage Xuanwu Realm cultivation, he couldn't help but tremble in fear!
"Wow, an Old Monster has been attracted! Friend, let's just hope for the best!" The young man's face turned pale as he grabbed the woman and fled in a panic!
Ye Feng gritted his teeth and quickly weighed the cost of explaining versus not explaining. In the next second, he dared not linger for even a moment and followed the path taken by the young man!
This was no joke; based on that earlier explosion, it was likely a peak late-stage Xuanwu Realm individual or even someone on the verge of entering Divine Martial Realm! Faced with such an opponent, even Ye Feng couldn't muster any fighting spirit—he just wanted to get out of this hellish place!
However, feeling utterly frustrated at how fast those two were running ahead like rabbits made Ye Feng feel even more helpless! What started as a perfectly fine auction had turned into such a chaotic situation! If this were to be investigated later on, even with Heavenly Mechanism Sect backing him up, things wouldn't go well for him!
More than that, what troubled him most was that he didn't even know who those two fleeing ahead were yet found himself entangled in such a dangerous predicament!
With a determined bite of his teeth, Ye Feng no longer held back and fully unleashed his cultivation, quickly catching up. After much effort, he managed to maintain a parallel line with the young man and seized the opportunity to shout, "You better give me an explanation, or I will chase you to the ends of the earth and won't let you go!"
Indeed, no matter who was involved, this situation seemed too innocent!
The young man smiled faintly, forcing out a strained grin as he said, "I understand how you feel right now. Trust me, I completely empathize. However, if I were you, my biggest concern shouldn't be my identity. Just know that we are tied together now. If we can escape the pursuit behind us, I will tell you everything!"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. From the young man's expression, he could sense that his greatest fear was the pervert chasing them from behind! Feeling that terrifying aura getting closer and closer made Ye Feng's heart sink to the bottom!
"Did you really not prepare at all beforehand? Did you naively think that just running like this would shake them off?" Ye Feng said in a disordered manner as they moved at high speed.
As they moved rapidly, to onlookers, they were merely shadows darting forward. After hearing Ye Feng's words, the young man fell silent for a moment before replying, "I didn't plan for it this way. I thought we wouldn't alert that Old Monster! I never expected..."
"Never expected? With your level of skill, you dared to come out and rob? What were you thinking? Did water get into your brain?" Ye Feng shouted angrily! He was certain that if they were caught by the pervert behind them, they would have no chance of winning together!
At this moment, the hostess finally found a moment to speak weakly, "In our expectations, we didn't foresee that there would be another raid from behind. It's possible that what we took earlier included something particularly valued by that Old Fart; otherwise, just a sword wouldn't be enough to make him chase us so desperately!"
Only then did Ye Feng notice the hostess's cultivation level. Although she was only at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, her movement technique was exceptionally sharp, allowing her to keep up with experts of the Xuanwu Realm. However, he had already exhausted any remaining goodwill towards her. Therefore, upon hearing her speak like this, Ye Feng retorted without holding back:
"People as naive as you think they can come out and rob? Hmph! You better tell me who that person is!" Compared to this, Ye Feng was more eager to know who the greatest guardian of the Dark Exchange was—the perverted expert behind them!
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to get close enough to negotiate; if necessary, he could abandon everything they had taken in exchange for his life!
However, what the woman said next made Ye Feng's heart plummet into an icy abyss!
"According to our previous investigations, the mastermind behind this Dark Exchange is beyond anything we can imagine. All we know is that the old man with terrifying strength behind us might be the leader of the Imperial Enforcement Team—the first person under the Divine Martial Realm in the empire—Chifeng!"
"What!" Ye Feng nearly stumbled and fell. As long as one had spent even a day in the Sky Abyss Empire, they would have heard legends about Chifeng. It was said that Chifeng was a quasi-Divine Martial Realm expert who had once been part of a Sect but later expressed great dissatisfaction with its rules...
Having just left the Sect, he became the leader of the Royal Enforcement Squad, which can also be referred to as the Royal Guard. As the strongest combat force of the empire, this Chifeng turned out to be one of the protectors of the Dark Exchange?
Does this mean that the Dark Exchange is likely controlled by the royal family? Such a significant secret would probably be hard for anyone to believe if it were revealed! However, this does explain why it has been able to maintain its presence outside Ning Cang City for so many years without being targeted.
Ye Feng understood now; it seems they are playing both sides! But why would these young people provoke someone they know is dangerous? Isn't that courting death?
"I think you are either bored or incredibly bold! Why don’t you go rob the royal treasure convoy instead? Huh!"
"Hehe, we have thought about that, but the risks are just too high. This Exchange is ultimately something that cannot be seen in the light of day. Therefore, as long as we can survive this ordeal, even if I take out their auctioned treasures in front of the Exchange members afterward, they wouldn’t dare say anything!"
The young man’s words made Ye Feng realize a truth: this is black on black! At the same time, he became curious about the identities of these young men and women.
Possessing Xuanwu Realm strength yet engaging in such rogue behavior, perhaps these two are not necessarily from prominent families. At least, from what he knows, disciples from prominent families wouldn’t do something so reckless. So who exactly are they?
Before Ye Feng could voice his curiosity, the young man provided an answer!
"Stop guessing. We have some fate between us; I will tell you everything you want to know, but only if we manage to survive this time!"
