Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 126 Various Transactions

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Various Transactions

Let’s not dwell on what Shangguan Hong was talking about.

After Ye Fei entered the Shangguan family residence, he noticed that the number of martial artists attending the Martial Arts Conference today was at least double that of yesterday!

Moreover, all sorts of trades seemed to have already begun.

He saw some people treating it like a market fair, finding a spot for themselves, placing their items in front of them, then hanging a cloth banner on which they wrote what they needed, waiting for others to initiate trades.

Seeing this, Ye Fei naturally followed suit and created a banner, writing down the herbs he needed, then placed the bottle of Vitality Pills in front of him.

Although Ye Fei had managed to obtain one-third of the required herbs from the Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King, he was still short by two-thirds, so he planned to make the most of the next few days to gather them.

However, to Ye Fei’s surprise, for several consecutive days, many martial artists clearly showed interest in the Vitality Pills but refrained from approaching him to inquire. Some even seemed to purposely avoid him.

At first, Ye Fei thought they simply didn’t have what he needed.

But when he saw a martial artist who was clearly interested in the Vitality Pills go to another pill trader not far away and take out a stalk of Blood Spirit Grass, he realized something wasn’t right!

After all, Blood Spirit Grass was the first herb listed on his banner and couldn’t have gone unnoticed!

"Could it be that they’re afraid of me for killing Lu Yidao and the others?"

Ye Fei mused, but he quickly dismissed that thought.

After all, he had spotted a few Hua Realm martial artists in the crowd!

Although their numbers were few, their strength was not to be underestimated.

One must know that Lu Yidao and the others were merely Hidden Energy martial artists. Without witnessing firsthand how Ye Fei killed them, these Hua Realm martial artists would hardly fear him.

Moreover, even if they were afraid, it wouldn’t explain their clear interest in the Vitality Pills yet avoidance of him for trade.

As Ye Fei puzzled over this, a sudden commotion erupted from the front.

"Black Demon? Why is he here?"

"That bloodthirsty maniac? After reaching the peak of Hua Realm, hasn’t he been in seclusion trying to break through to the Innate Realm? He hasn’t shown up for ages!"

"Exactly. Judging by his appearance, he hasn’t broken through. Is he here for revenge?"

Amid the murmurs, an elderly man with a shadowy complexion, cloaked entirely in black, strolled through the grand entrance.

The old man was emaciated, yet his entire being radiated a murderous aura, as if he had claimed countless lives!

Wherever he passed, everyone quickly stepped aside, creating a clear path for him, clearly intimidated by his aura.

As the elder entered, his greenish pupils swept coldly over the hall before settling on the Vitality Pills in front of Ye Fei and then slowly moving to Ye Fei’s face.

Witnessing this, the crowd immediately understood!

They all knew that the Black Demon had roamed the martial arts world for many years and had only one direct disciple—the Flying Eagle King Lu Yidao!

The news of Lu Yidao’s death at Ye Fei’s hands had long circulated.

Seeing the Black Demon’s arrival, they naturally realized he had broken his seclusion prematurely, not because he had advanced, but to seek vengeance!

"Haha, it looks like we’re in for quite a show today!"

"Although the Black Demon hasn’t made a move in years, his reputation as the ’Butcher of a Hundred Miles’ wasn’t built on nothing! That kid Ye is in serious trouble!"

"In the end, it’s still a case of harboring an infamous treasure. Without those top-grade pills, he wouldn’t have courted this disaster!"

The crowd’s faces were filled with mocking expressions as they whispered.

They had long coveted the Vitality Pills in Ye Fei’s possession. Though Ye Fei had made it clear he only wanted the herbs on his list, people still brought other treasures or money to trade, only to be turned away.

Now seeing Ye Fei’s predicament, they naturally reveled in his misfortune.

The Black Demon, having confirmed the details of the situation and matched Ye Fei’s appearance, slowly approached him and coldly said, "Are you Ye Fei?"

Without even lifting his head, Ye Fei pointed to the banner beside him and said, "If you want to trade for the pills, provide the listed herbs. If not, take the door to your right. No need to see you out!"

"Haha! Quite gutsy, indeed!"

The Black Demon let out a chilling laugh. "Surrender the treasure and the pills, or die!"

Domineering!

The crowd’s minds raced with this singular thought upon hearing the Black Demon’s words.

He made no attempt to negotiate, instead directly demanding Ye Fei’s items. This was entirely in line with the Black Demon’s notorious style!

Those familiar with the Black Demon knew that provoking him didn’t just mean death—it could mean something far worse than death.

Otherwise, he would make you experience the very essence of hell!

But just as everyone was wondering how Ye Fei would respond, they heard him speak, still without lifting his head, "If you kneel now, I can spare your life!"

Gasps!

The crowd erupted in gasps of shock!

The Black Demon was domineering because he had the strength to be domineering.

Yet Ye Fei retorted in such a manner, which couldn’t even be called a response—it was outright provocation!

What did he rely on?

Killing Lu Yidao and his companions?

One had to remember that Lu Yidao was merely a Hidden Energy martial artist. The Black Demon, however, was a peak Hua Realm martial artist. The disparity between them was like heaven and earth!

The Black Demon was momentarily stunned, not expecting Ye Fei to speak to him this way.

"Haha! I was wrong to commend your courage earlier!"

The Black Demon’s eyes sparkled with fury as he growled, "You’re not brave; you’re arrogant and foolish! Making me kneel? Do you even know who I am?"

"Don’t know. Don’t care. All I know is, if you don’t kneel, you die." Ye Fei’s tone remained calm and steadfast.

"Good... good... good!"

The Black Demon repeated the word thrice before unleashing his overwhelming Hua Realm aura, seemingly ready to strike.

"Wait!"

At that moment, a burly monk entered through the door.

Seeing the Black Demon about to act, he immediately said, "This boy killed my disciple, the Iron Head Monk. If there’s a score to settle, let me go first!"

"You first?"

Another elder stepped in, sneering coldly. "Elder Zhao of my Qi Union Sect perished at the hands of this thief. It is only fitting that I personally take his life. If anyone interferes with my quest for vengeance, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!"

As person after person entered, the crowd sucked in sharp breaths.

These two newcomers were also peak Hua Realm masters, known as Nu Mu Vajra—the mentor of the Iron Head Monk—and Hee Wuji, the Sect Leader of Qi Union Sect!

Their appearances made it obvious: they were here to avenge their disciples. But judging by the greed in their eyes, revenge was just an excuse. Their true aim, like the Black Demon’s, was the treasure and pills in Ye Fei’s possession!
