Chapter 267: Conflict with the Tian Yao Huang Clan!
As soon as he entered the exchange market, Xiao Ze was greeted by a deafening noise. Some people were haggling with vendors, others were loudly boasting about their items, and some were even insulting each other because they couldn't reach an agreement. All these voices together created an unbearable cacophony.
Xiao Ze shook his head, not expecting much from this improvised market; the management, at least, left a lot to be desired.
He wandered aimlessly among the stalls, surrounded by people coming and going, and it wasn't uncommon for disputes to break out. This place was full of shady characters, and there was always someone with bad intentions.
Even with two strong fighters guarding the entrance, they couldn't intimidate those whose malice still surged in their hearts.
Ahead of Xiao Ze, a group of people watched a dispute. A pale young man was holding a middle-aged man with crooked teeth. The young man applied pressure with his hand, making a snapping sound, and the middle-aged man screamed in pain. With a burst of energy, the young man threw him to the ground.
"Watch your hands. If it happens again, it won't be as simple as breaking your arm," the pale young man growled, annoyed by the crowd watching. He cast a glare at the onlookers and walked away to another area.
The middle-aged man, with his head down, hurriedly retreated to a more hidden spot. At that moment, Xiao Ze felt a sneaky hand trying to reach for his storage ring.
Wow, not only were they entertained by the spectacle, but they also dared to steal from him.
Crack!
After a slight reprimand, Xiao Ze released the thief's hand, ensuring they couldn't use it for a while.
Xiao Ze wandered through half of the market and shook his head. In these makeshift markets, it was hard to find real treasures.
However, he did manage to exchange some pills for ancient recipes, obtained from the ruins of ancient alchemists.
"Mister, would you like to take a look at the items at this stall?"
The vendor had been watching Xiao Ze for a while. Seeing that Xiao Ze was only interested in recipes and used pills for trading, he deduced that Xiao Ze must be an alchemist and quickly invited him to his stall.
Xiao Ze glanced over and saw a dark red scroll.
"Did you also get this from an alchemist's ruins?"
"Yes, sir," the middle-aged man responded, bowing his head without saying much more.
He knew that alchemists could be temperamental; better not to talk too much.
Xiao Ze took the dark red scroll and said casually, "Name your price."
The vendor, seeing Xiao Ze's demeanor, gritted his teeth and said, "One Po Zong pill!"
"Alright."
Xiao Ze took out a vial of pills and tossed it to the vendor, who, surprised, showed an expression of extreme joy.
"Thank you, sir!" The vendor bowed repeatedly.
With that pill, he could sell it and obtain resources for his son to have a better future in cultivation.
As Xiao Ze walked away, the vendor didn't get greedy or ask for an exorbitant price.
"A fire control technique... Although my control skills are not bad, I could learn something from this."
Xiao Ze stored the scroll in his ring. At that moment, a large hand tried to snatch the ring, surprising him.
He had seen stealthy thieves, but never one who would steal in broad daylight. However, the strength behind that hand made Xiao Ze narrow his eyes. This wasn't a simple thief; it was someone coming for his ring.
Xiao Ze showed no mercy. With a quick move, he focused his energy into a crystalline palm and clashed it against the hand, unleashing a powerful energy wave that sent the market crowd flying.
Xiao Ze didn't move an inch, while the attacker was violently thrown back, leaving deep marks on the ground as he stopped.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Ze observed the attacker: a young man with white hair and a handsome face.
The onlookers, sensing the released energy, quickly retreated, aware that both contenders were powerful.
The white-haired young man hid his injured right hand in his sleeve. Xiao Ze's technique had broken his hand.
He looked at Xiao Ze in surprise. In such a short time, Xiao Ze had unleashed a powerful technique.
Although he had underestimated Xiao Ze, he hadn't anticipated such strength. He thought of stealing the ring because he felt a familiar presence in it.
"Who are you?" Xiao Ze asked.
The white-haired young man sneered coldly, "You have some strength. You hurt me when I wasn't prepared."
"But there's an object from my Tian Yao Huang clan in your ring. If you don't want to face our pursuit, you better hand it over."
Hearing this, the crowd murmured in amazement.
"He's from the Tian Yao Huang clan!"
"But it looks like he's been defeated."
"The Tian Yao Huang clan has always been arrogant."
"Do you say I have it just because you say so? Wow, the Tian Yao Huang clan is quite authoritative," Xiao Ze responded indifferently.
In the brief confrontation, Xiao Ze had injured the clan member.
He mastered the Great Ocean Palm technique, and since his transformation in the void space, his energy had increased greatly, allowing him to use his energy field to enhance his techniques.
Thanks to this, he could injure the Tian Yao Huang clan fighter.
Moreover, he had restrained the released energy to avoid killing half of the onlookers.
"You!" The white-haired young man, enraged, clenched his fists, but the pain made him regain his composure. He knew he couldn't beat Xiao Ze.
Fortunately, the released energy had alerted the elders of his clan.
Meanwhile, the two fighters guarding the market didn't dare to intervene.
"Don't you dare cause trouble here," said an old voice. A man in a black robe appeared in front of the white-haired young man.
The young man bowed joyfully, "Greetings, Elder Huang Xuan!"
