Chapter 871 Friends and enemies (1)
As everyone was looking forward to seeing what the treasure that was about to appear was, there was this voice that cut through the air.
Everyone that heard it turned to look at the person who had said this.
It was a young man who could be considered handsome, but he also seemed a bit too immature to be in a place like this. He seemed like he was almost too young to be walking around alone.
But it wasn't as if he was alone.
There was a large group that was following behind him.
It seemed to be a crowd of servants and lackeys that were following him around.
This young man was pointing at the jade that had just been cut and was releasing this wave of spiritual energy, so there was no mistaking what he was referring to.
After the surprise that came from him suddenly speaking up like this passed, everyone started looking at the young man like they were sizing him up.
Most of the people around didn't recognize this young man since they had never seen him before. In fact, most people had never even heard of someone like him before, so they had no idea why he was acting so arrogantly.
Huang Xie also narrowed his eyes to look at this young man for a bit before turning back to the jade cutter and asking, "Are you done with this? How long will it take you to finish if not?"
The jade cutter had an awkward look on his face since he didn't know what to do now.
He was just a simple jade cutter that worked at this market, so it wasn't as if he had any special kind of status. He was a mortal that had learned the art of cutting jade, nothing more and nothing less.
This was not the kind of conflict that he could get himself involved in.
So he really didn't want to seem like he was taking either side.
Seeing that the jade cutter wasn't answering him, Huang Xie just simply gave a sigh before turning his attention to the young master.
The young master's face was actually twisted in anger since Huang Xie had completely ignored him.
Seeing Huang Xie look at him, he said, "Hand over the jade now if you know what's good for you. Or else, don't blame me for what's about to happen."
Huang Xie shook his head and said with a sigh, "Don't do something that you will regret."
The young master revealed a smirk after hearing this before saying, "That's my line. You better listen to my words or else who knows what will happen to you."
As he said this, he gave a snap of his fingers and one of his lackeys stepped forward.
The lackey stood there in front of Huang Xie and started releasing his aura to pressure him.
This lackey was surprisingly in the Foundation Realm.
Everyone looked at the young master differently after this lackey revealed himself to be a Foundation Realm Cultivator.
It was one thing if the young master was a Foundation Realm Cultivator since there were plenty of people that were in the Foundation Realm here from the sects. The shocking thing was that even the young master's lackey was in the Foundation Realm.
If even the young master's lackey was in the Foundation Realm, there was no telling just how strong the young master was.
Huang Xie looked carefully at this blue haired girl as he tried to figure out who she was. After all, it wasn't as if she would help him for no reason, so there had to be a reason that she was stepping in now.
After threatening the blue haired girl with the lackey, the young master said, "This isn't any of your business. Leave now or you'll regret it."
The blue haired girl said with a chuckle, "Ha, regret it? Why would I regret standing up for what's right? I'm not as shameless as you."
A vein popped out on the young master's forehead when he heard this.
At that, the lackeys all had worried looks on their faces as if they were scared of something. That was because they knew what it meant for the young master to suddenly show this vein.
It meant that he had completely lost his temper and everyone would be feeling his wrath soon.
The reason why the lackeys took action wasn't because they were protecting him.
Rather, it was to stop the young master from causing too much trouble when he lost his temper. The young master liked to act, so it was fine for them to step up when he was angry.
But when he completely lost his temper...
"You b*tch! You dare look down on me!" The young master suddenly roared out before releasing his aura.
As everyone had expected, he really was different.
He really was someone with a powerful background as the aura that he released was in the Qi Condensing Realm.
This kind of cultivation was not something that could be gained from any place, especially at his age. It had to take a powerful backing to give him the resources needed to reach this stage.
But even then, the blue haired girl didn't seem fazed at all by this.
She just calmly looked at the young master and released her own aura.
She was also in the Qi Condensing Realm!
That was surprising for everyone since they never expected so many Qi Condensing Realm Cultivators here.
Since the purge by the Mu Empire, there were few sects that could produce Qi Condensing Realm disciples, yet here were two of them.
The young master narrowed his eyes when he felt the aura coming from the blue haired girl. He could see why this blue haired girl wasn't afraid of him at all, but that didn't mean that he could accept it that easily.
Still, this wasn't the place for him to completely lose his temper like this...
So instead, he just ignored the blue haired girl and used his aura to pressure Huang Xie as he said, "Hand it over now and I'll leave. Or else, who knows what might happen later."
Huang Xie gave a shrug before saying, "What will you do?"
The young master was once again caught off guard by the casual tone that Huang Xie replied to him in.
The young master just looked at Huang Xie as if he was wondering if he was crazy or just stupid.
But Huang Xie didn't care at all.
Huang Xie even looked at the young master in a provoking manner.
