Chapter 440

Around them, the crowd began to talk about Zi Chen without restraint. Words such as' so-so 'and' so-so 'were being used frequently.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, as if there was a sharp blade at his back. Zi Chen turned around and saw a pair of cold eyes filled with hostility.

Zheng Feng had appeared, bringing with him a chill.

The discussions around them stopped abruptly. Clearly, they had also found out about the youth's identity through some means.

"I don't know what your relationship with the fairy is, but I'm warning you. You'd better stay away from her. Otherwise, you'll die without a burial ground."

Zheng Feng looked coldly at Zi Chen and emphasized, "Even in the market, no one can protect you."

The chill made people's hearts tremble. Daring to kill in the market, this was an existence that had surpassed the rules of the market. Everyone began to speculate about Chen Feng's identity.

Only the owner of the market could kill as he pleased without any restrictions.

"Hmph, then I'll tell you that no one has ever taken away a woman that I, a tycoon, want," Zi Chen replied coldly.

"Wow."

The crowd was in an uproar. Was this the rhythm of a battle in the market? Moreover, why did the tycoon's words sound so strange?

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the temperature was not high to begin with. At this moment, as the two stared at each other, the air became even colder.

"Killing you is like killing an ant. You'd better think it through," Zheng Feng said, killing intent already in his eyes.

"Killing you is like killing a bug. You'd better think it through," Zi Chen replied, not to be outdone.

"You're courting death." Around Zheng Feng, a surging aura swept out. The crazy killing intent made people feel suffocated.

"You've successfully angered me. Today, you'll die without a doubt," Zheng Feng shouted and was about to attack.

"Enough."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Yue Xianzi appeared, her body emitting a hazy light. She looked like a person from a painting.

Zheng Feng's aura instantly retracted, and his expression was very gloomy.

"Zheng Feng, Zi Chen is my friend. You'd better show him some respect." Yue Xianzi's voice was cold.

"Fairy, he's from another race. I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage." Zheng Feng said.

"A foreign race?" The fairy chuckled and said, "We've already known each other for several years. How come I didn't know that he was a foreign race?"

"What?" Zheng Feng was stunned.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"So you've known him for a long time."

"They are friends, no wonder."

After the uproar, everyone was relieved. It turned out that the two of them had been talking all night and nothing else had happened.

As for why the Fairy had acted out of character and tried so hard to invite him, it turned out that he was just a friend.

Zheng Feng's expression kept changing. In the end, she said, "So that's how it is. Fairy, you already know him. It seems that when you were in the barbarian land, this nouveau riche brother fat sheep must be a barbarian."

Barbarians represented the land of barbarians.

Ten thousand years ago, the Boundless Sect was the core of the entire Southern Region. Everyone knew that the Boundless Sect was the overlord of the entire Southern Region.

Ten thousand years ago, when the Boundless Sect attacked and destroyed the Lightning Divine Palace, other powers took the opportunity to seize and destroy the Boundless Sect. Many great powers rose in the Southern Region.

And ten thousand years later, the Southern Region that once ruled over the Southern Region, a place that made people tremble, became the famous land of barbarians. Similarly, everyone knew about it. However, the meaning was that the barbarians were uncivilized, and it represented a derogatory meaning of extreme humiliation.

"Barbarians. Fairy has been to the land of barbarians before."

"This nouveau riche fat sheep is actually a barbarian. How is that possible? Isn't the land of barbarians known to be lacking in resources and abnormally barren?"

Everyone was stunned, especially Zi Chen's origin. He was actually a barbarian, but when he came here, he became a nouveau riche fat sheep.

"Barbarian. So the nouveau riche fat sheep is a barbarian. Now there's a good show to watch."

"That's right. He should be a prodigal son of some barbarian. He took all the origin stones in his family and came here to be a fat sheep."

"I dare to guarantee that once he leaves the market, this nouveau riche barbarian will definitely die."

Their gazes once again turned to Zi Chen, and the crowd laughed mockingly. Previously, many people were still doubting his identity. Now that Yue Xianzi and Zheng Feng had pointed it out, everyone was relieved.

He was just a nouveau riche barbarian. Presumably, there would be many people who had their eyes on him.

"Nouveau riche brother fat sheep. Oh, no, I should call you Nouveau riche brother barbarian now. I didn't expect you to be old friends with fairy. But even so, you should pay attention to your own identity. Pay attention to the difference between you and fairy. Especially someone who's about to die. It's best that you don't bring bad luck to others."

Zheng Feng laughed coldly, then turned around and left.

"How arrogant. Is this what a profligate son of the Bedlam Lands is like?" Zi Chen was expressionless.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the crowd quickly dispersed. They were going to spread the news of this latest news.

For a time, apart from Zi Chen, fairy, and a figure in the distance, there was no one else in the surroundings.

And that figure was also approaching.

"Eh? Grandmaster!" Suddenly, Yue Xianzi cried out in surprise.

The person who had come was none other than Evil Good Monk. "Greetings, Yue Xianzi. This humble monk greets you."

He put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.

"Grandmaster, there's no need to be so courteous. Just call me Yue 'er."

"Damn bald donkey, why did you only come now?" Zi Chen glared at Evil Good Monk.

"This humble monk saw that you were in a bit of trouble, so I quietly observed from afar for a while."

"Bullshit! You were clearly afraid of causing trouble, so you hid from afar," Zi Chen said angrily.

"This is called clearly distinguishing between light and dark," Evil Good Monk explained.

Yue Xianzi giggled as she listened to the two bicker.

It had to be said that if the matters of the past were to be disregarded, Zi Chen and Evil Good Monk's relationship was still pretty good. And as Zi Chen's strength increased, Evil Good Monk knew that he could no longer suppress Zi Chen. So, he decided not to mention the matters of the past.

After the two finished bickering, Evil Good Monk extended his hand to Zi Chen.

"What are you doing? Begging for alms?" Zi Chen laughed mockingly.

"Same old rules. 85: 25. I'll take 85, and you take 25." Evil Good Monk extended his hand again, almost poking Zi Chen's nose.

"What 25: 25?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

"Stop pretending. You know best what you've done along the way. I'm the one who guided you on this path. I'm also the one who contributed to your gains. This time, I'll take a bit of a loss. 85: 25, not 95: 15."

"Ahhh!"

Zi Chen was so angry that he screamed thrice. His hands were clutching Evil Good Monk's neck tightly. His eyes were glowing red. "You bald donkey, I've been through countless battles, big and small. I've been on the brink of death several times, and that's all I've gained. I've exchanged my life for this. How dare you ask me for it when you haven't done anything?"

Evil Good Monk's face was red from being choked by Lin Fan's neck. However, he still refused to let go. Instead, he spoke from his throat, "You call that a little gain? That's something worth hundreds of millions. If you don't want 25: 25, we can give 35: 25."

"F * ck your head. I'm going to strangle you to death."

Beside them, Yue Xianzi stared at the two dumbfounded. In front of Zi Chen, Evil Good Monk would never act like a monk. On the other hand, Zi Chen would always lose his composure in an exaggerated manner.

"Tycoon Barbarians are indeed despicable. They won't even let off a monk. Fighting is not allowed in the city square, but he actually tried to strangle a monk to death."

Some people saw this scene from afar and whispered softly. Soon, the news of the tycoon Barbarian abusing a monk spread.

"65: 45." Evil Good Monk said weakly. He was about to be strangled to death, but he was still greedy.

"Not even 65%!" Zi Chen roared.

In the end, Evil Good Monk didn't even get 65%. Zi Chen wouldn't give him a share.

"It's fine if you don't want to give it to me. Come, follow me back to Wild Wolf Stronghold. Something big is going to happen there." With that, Evil Good Monk pulled Zi Chen away.

"Damn Bald Monk, are you crazy? It wasn't easy for me to come here. Why should I go back?" Zi Chen flipped and almost flung Evil Good Monk away.

"Do you still remember the mine I told you about? Back then, I felt that there was a problem. When I went back to take a look, there was indeed a problem. There will be a big commotion soon. I came here to look for you. If I don't go back now, all the benefits will be taken away by others.

"What commotion? Come, let's talk inside." Zi Chen's expression changed.

Yue Xianzi originally wanted to ask Zi Chen to go to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. However, after seeing the current situation, it was obvious that it wasn't realistic. Hence, she bade farewell to the two and went to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion alone.

A beauty was ignored just like that. Zi Chen brought Evil Good Monk to a luxurious room. The density of the spiritual energy here surprised Evil Good Monk. As he breathed in, Evil Good Monk said, "There's the scent of a woman here. Yue Xianzi also lives here."

Then, he looked at Zi Chen strangely. "You really have the life of a peach blossom."

"Are you a monk or a dog? Your nose is so sharp. Hurry up and get to the point. What's going on?"

Next, Evil Good Monk told him what happened in Wild Wolf Stronghold in the past few months.

That day, the Third Boss was severely injured and returned to recuperate. However, not long after, Black Wind Stronghold led people to attack the mine.

In the end, a fierce battle broke out.

"In the end, the Third Boss died and the mine was lost," Zi Chen asked.

"No. In the end, the First Boss and Second Boss of Wild Wolf Stronghold appeared and repelled the people of Black Wind Stronghold. However, the mine suffered from the energy impact and was severely damaged."

"What does this have to do with us going back?" Zi Chen asked, puzzled.

"At that time, the people guarding the mine, including the miners, died mysteriously after the battle. Even the Ninth Boss disappeared."

"How could this be?"

"I suspect that the secret of the mine has been discovered by the Third Master. He was the one who killed those people."

"What's the secret of the mine?"

"Liquefied Essence."

"What's that?" Zi Chen asked.

"Liquefied Essence is a product of the mine. It can also be called Essence. Before the formation of Essence Stones, this kind of essence will appear. It's something purer than Essence Stones and contains unimaginable energy."

Seeing Zi Chen's slightly confused expression, Evil Good Monk said, "Let me tell you. If the Wild Wolf Stronghold mine has Essence Liquefied Essence, then it's of the lowest grade. Once you refine it, it can help you break through to the middle Zephyr Realm or even the late Zephyr Realm."

"What?" This time, Zi Chen's eyes widened. He had a new evaluation of the value of Essence Liquefied Essence.

"I saw some records in ancient books. Some powerful cultivators need to find Essence Liquefied Essence to break through. This is a really rare thing in the world. If I'm not wrong, there should be Essence Liquefied Essence in the Wild Wolf Stronghold."

"Since there's Essence Liquefied Essence, we must get it," Zi Chen said in a deep voice.

"Well, let's go now."
