C712 Lord Jiu

Ye Feng was also puzzled. Although this monster was dead, however, it had left behind the chaotic energy of the beast essence. After that, he secretly used his Divine Sense to investigate. Only then did he realize that the essence of the beast essence was extremely mysterious, as if it had evolved into a new power. It was a profound mystery that he was unable to detect.

However, Ye Feng also noticed the sadness and helplessness on Chen Hao's face. He had already understood a little in his heart. He said, "I think these things are useless to me. Why don't you give them to uncle?"

Chen Hao's entire body trembled. His heart seemed to have been struck by lightning. Confused, he said, "Benefactor, this is the beast essence of a Great Emperor Level monster. Don't talk about refining weapons and raising your cultivation level. Even if it's sold in Purple Mountain City, there will be thousands of purple crystal. This is a very high price."

"Purple crystal?" Ye Feng had already thought that this might be the currency used in the Western Continent, but the price was unknown. However, the more useful clue he got from this was that the so-called beast essence actually had the effect of refining weapons and raising one's cultivation base. He didn't know if it would be helpful to his cultivation base after he completely refined it.

However, Ye Feng could see that this Great Emperor Level beast essence had a very important effect on Chen Hao. He smiled and said, "Uncle, do you really want this money? Actually, I don't have much use for it. I might as well give it to you."

Ziyue almost didn't believe her ears. She tightly furrowed her brows and said with a trembling voice, "En... Benefactor, is what you said true?"

Xu Luo shook his head and said through gritted teeth, "How can this be? This beast essence should have been obtained by Benefactor."

Ye Feng looked at Chen Hao's shocked face and said indifferently, "I can see that you all need it very much. Since that's the case, take it."

Chen Hao suddenly knelt down, his eyes were filled with blood. He said loudly, "I, Chen Hao, thank benefactor for saving my life twice!"

Ye Feng frowned with some doubt and said, "Twice... Where did this come from?"

Xu Luo let out a long sigh and lowered his eyes. He clenched his teeth tightly. He looked a little sad and resentful. He said in a deep voice, "Benefactor must have just arrived in Western Territory! The biggest Purple Mountain City here is called Purple Mountain City. I don't know when there is an unwritten rule in Purple Mountain City. Each person must hand over 200 purple crystal each month as supplies for the chaotic battles. Those who cannot hand it over will be exiled to Purple Mountain City..."

Ye Feng's eyes darkened as he asked, "So you are the people who are exiled?"

Chen Hao shook his head heavily and said, "Although it is not now, it is not far. I can't afford to pay so much money, so I brought them to the Heavenly Travel Mountain Range."

"This place is so dangerous. Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

Chen Hao helplessly smiled and said, "If we can't get the beast yuan, then we can't afford to pay the resupplying fee. We will also be exiled here. Death is only a matter of time."

There were monsters everywhere outside of Purple Mountain City. There was almost no safe zone. If we were exiled, it would be the same as stepping into the territory of the monsters. If we didn't have enough strength, it would be extremely dangerous.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and said, "I understand, but it's getting late. You guys should return to the city first."

Chen Hao hurriedly said, "Benefactor, since you have just arrived here, why don't you stay in the cold shelter for a few days? We will definitely treat you well."

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment. He never wanted to trouble others, but he had just arrived in the Saint World. He needed to understand more about the Western Territory, so he simply agreed. This made the three of them very happy.

It was getting late. Half of the sunset was covered by the mountain in the distance. The dim sunlight shone on the ground, pulling out four long figures.

When night arrived, Ye Feng followed Chen Hao to the city gate of the Purple Mountain City. It seemed like the entire city had put in a lot of effort to prevent monsters from defending. The height of the city wall had reached more than 200 meters. They were all built from extremely hard rocks. There were nearly 500 guards standing by the wall. There were more than 100 sentries, and the atmosphere was extremely grand.

When they entered the city, Chen Hao paid four purple crystal for Ye Feng and the others.

In the Western Territory, there was only one type of purple crystal, and there were no grades at all. Because Ye Feng and the Azure Dragon were in the state of fusion, the City Guards only charged Ye Feng and the Blood Lizard.

When they stepped into the interior of the Purple Mountain City, the noise was like a landslide or a tsunami that swept over. Ye Feng was surprised. Looking around, he could see tall buildings that looked like mountain peaks everywhere. It was a grand scene. The wide streets were paved with light blue jade stones. Under the sunlight, they emitted a strange and gorgeous luster.

People wearing all kinds of clothes could be seen everywhere on the streets. However, these people were not as special as Ye Feng had imagined. Everything was extremely ordinary, but it felt like they had returned to their original selves. However, Ye Feng could sense that the Qi emitted by these people was extremely unusual. There were even a few long and deep strands that were hidden very deeply. In terms of strength, they were definitely not any weaker than Ye Feng.

Looking at the endless stream of people on the road, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It seems like there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Western Territory."

At this time, Ziyue pulled Ye Feng's sleeve. That bright and clear face of hers blushed and said gently, "Big Brother Ye Feng, my home is not far away. Let's go quickly."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Alright, let's go now."

At this time, Xu Luo suddenly snorted with some dissatisfaction and said, "What's the hurry? It's not too late to return after we sell the beast essence. Otherwise, those lackeys would come and ask for the purple crystal again tonight!"

Ziyue pouted her lips and nodded slightly.

After that, Chen Hao brought Ye Feng to the market. This place could be said to be extremely bustling, but it was also very different from the Divine World. The things that were sold here were all very strange and unheard of. Chen Hao had heard that there was a hidden black market here that could only be used in secret language to communicate. Usually, high grade Numinous Treasures were sold, which was extremely rare. However, it was also extraordinarily expensive. Usually, only wealthy merchants would appear in the black market.

Along the way, Chen Hao had been holding onto the beast essence pocket tightly, afraid that it would be stolen. After all, it was something that kept the three of them alive.

After some idle chatter, Ye Feng learned that Chen Hao was a hunter in Purple Mountain City. He had a few hunting methods, so he often went to the mountains outside to hunt low level monsters, Primordial Chaos, in exchange for purple crystal to feed his family. However, as the number of hunters increased, this technique was still there. However, it was no longer as easy to survive as it was in the past, so the chances of him hunting gradually decreased. As a result, they were unable to make ends meet.

Ziyue, on the other hand, was Chen Hao's biological daughter. When her mother had given birth to her, she had already passed away. She had accompanied her father out hunting all year round.

As for Xu Luo, he was the child Chen Hao had picked up from the wasteland more than ten years ago. At that time, he was only five years old. A jade pendant with the character 'Xuan' was hanging on his chest. In addition, he had picked it up on a rainy day, so he gave him the name 'Xu Luo'.

However, the chaotic battles were everywhere. The Purple Mountain City's City Lord had plundered a large number of purple crystal from the residents. Chen Hao was about to be exiled, and that was why he had risked his life to provoke the Great Emperor Level monster, causing him to almost lose his life.

Not long after, the four of them arrived in front of a large shop. There were two red dragon pillars on the left and right side of the shop, and two mighty stone lions were squatting under the pillars. There was a plaque made of metal hanging on the door, with the words "Third Spiritual Treasure Shop" written on it.

Ye Feng's divine sense was extremely sensitive. He could sense the aura of the treasures hidden in this shop from far away.

Chen Hao touched the beast essence in his pocket and felt relieved. Before he could walk in, before he could go in... A fat merchant had already walked out quickly and said with a laugh, "Yo, Chen Hao, you're here. I can smell good stuff from far away."

Xu Luo smiled coldly, "Of course. Why can't you smell anything from Lord Jiu's nose?"

It seemed that this fat merchant was Chen Hao's biggest customer. People called him Lord Jiu. As long as the goods were in stock, he would lower the price by half. However, Chen Hao knew his tricks very well. Since he was an old customer, jiu Ye would not lower the price too much.

He arrogantly walked into Chen Hao and stared at the beast essence. He yawned lazily and said slowly, "Not bad, I gave you three hundred purple crystal."

"Three hundred?" Chen Hao was shocked, but there was a trace of a cold smile on his face, "Lord Jiu, you couldn't have been scared silly by this chaotic battle, right? This is the beast essence of a Great Emperor Level monster."

Immediately after, Chen Hao cleverly circulated the chaotic energy. Although it was a little sluggish, the beast essence circulated at an extremely fast speed, and a vast and mighty chaotic energy continuously emerged.

Lord Jiu frowned, and his eyes revealed a greedy look. It seemed like he hadn't encountered such a good thing for a long time.

"Forget it, I'll give you five hundred purple crystal!" As he spoke, Jiu Ye was about to charge forward to collect the beast essence.

Chen Hao sneered, turned around, and was about to leave. Jiu Ye glared at him and said, "What are you doing?"

Xu Luo interjected from the side, "Jiu Ye, we can be considered your old customers. Do you think I'm an idiot? If these things were sold elsewhere, they would be worth at least a thousand purple crystal!"

"But my Qian Family's shop only has this price. Furthermore, I want to see who dares to accept things that my Jiu Ye cannot accept. You better know what's good for you!" Lord Jiu said rudely.

"Then we won't sell it!" Ziyue stood beside Ye Feng and stomped her feet in anger. One should know that the rule in Purple Mountain City was that each person had to pay 200 purple crystal per month. And these 500 purple crystal were not even enough for three people. Moreover, this beast yuan could be sold for at least 1200 purple crystal. It was for the three of them to pay the fee for two months.

The fat flesh on Jiu Ye's face trembled, and he seemed to be extremely angry. He laughed and said, "If you want to leave, then leave the beast essence behind first. You old fool, you are also a person who has half entered a coffin. In the future, there won't be any good goods to be supplied to me. I will kill you now. Someone come!" With a loud roar, more than a dozen men in black rushed out from the back of the shop. Although they didn't look strong, they could feel that the cultivation inside them couldn't be ignored.

Chen Hao was so angry that his old face had turned purple. He said angrily, "Bastard, I'm going to kill you today!" He was about to rush forward, but he did not expect Lord Jiu to suddenly wave his palm. Jiu Ye was violently slapped to the ground. Although the force was not strong, Chen Hao had already suffered a serious injury. Under the strike of Jiu Ye's palm, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Ziyue turned pale with fright. She hurriedly helped him to regulate his Qi and blood, but Xu Luo, who was standing by the side, was already burning with rage. The black broadsword in his hand had already been raised high. On the road, when they saw this scene, not a single one of them complained about it. They were all in a hurry to escape. It seemed like Lord Jiu had a lot of influence in this place.

Just as Xu Luo raised his sword and was about to slash down, a man in black suddenly stepped forward. The chaotic energy in his palm flashed and disappeared. A flame suddenly rose into the air. Xu Luo was sent flying, but the clothes on his chest had long been burned to ashes.

Ye Feng cursed in his heart. It was obvious that these people had a very high level of control over the Chaotic Spiritual Energy. Their strength was definitely not ordinary. Immediately, they struck out a ray of sword qi with their left hand, and at the same time, they prepared to take out the five-colored scroll with their right hand. The sword energy struck the black-clothed man's wrist at an extremely fast speed. The black-clothed man's facial expression changed dramatically. He took two steps back and looked closely, only to discover that his entire wrist was festering.

"Since he doesn't want to sell it, why must Lord Jiu force him?" Ye Feng stood in front of Lord Jiu and said coldly. His cold face carried some anger. Lord Jiu frowned, "You... Who are you? Quickly kill this brat for me!"

The black clothed person looked at Ye Feng with some surprise. He immediately circulated the Imperial Elementary Force in his body. The wrist that was pierced by Ye Feng's sword Qi recovered in a moment. Clearly, this fellow was very powerful.

However, Ye Feng was not afraid of anyone here. Immediately, he said coldly, "If you don't want to die, then scram!"

The battle was about to begin. Under the command of the dozen black-clothed men, all of them moved. Strangely, streams of chaotic energy were released from the surface of their skin, which then transformed into various kinds of elemental energy.
