Chapter 2632 Black Market
Chapter 2632 Black Market
"I actually learned about this special artistic conception a long time ago through ancient books on Earth, but my cultivation level was too low to cultivate it when I was on Earth."
"So when my cultivation level skyrocketed, I also spent a lot of time practicing this sword intent, and it appeared on its own as I practiced it," King Wu explained.
Pack!
King Wu's statement was really pretentious.
However, he had indeed cultivated sword intent, and Qin Fei couldn't find any words to refute him.
All I can say is that King Wu really pulled off the stunt perfectly.
"Can your current combat power reach the Dao Profound Realm?" Qin Fei asked helplessly.
"I'm not quite sure about that, because I haven't fought anyone yet," King Wu replied.
After arriving at the Black Stone Gate, he spent most of his time cultivating and modifying the Black Water Gate, so he had no time to go out and fight.
So when Qin Fei asked him about his combat strength, he couldn't possibly answer.
"How about we give it a try now?" A look of eager anticipation appeared on his face.
Since King Wu had just put on a show right in front of him, and Qin Fei couldn't even refute him verbally, he decided to punch King Wu instead!
He felt that with his current combat strength, he could stand up to King Wu head-on.
It's even possible to defeat King Wu.
After all, his Devouring Heaven Technique is an extremely abnormal technique, and Qin Fei at this moment cannot use his early stage Divine Radiance Realm cultivation to judge him.
"never mind."
Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, King Wu simply waved his hand and refused, saying, "As the saying goes, 'The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.' The more dazzling we are, the more attention others will focus on us."
"Before you have the absolute ability to protect yourself, it's best to keep a low profile."
King Wu had never revealed the matter of sword intent to anyone. If Qin Fei hadn't been one of his own and hadn't suddenly asked about it, King Wu certainly wouldn't have revealed these secrets of his.
"Too."
Qin Fei was not angry or embarrassed by King Wu's rejection, because he knew that King Wu's words made sense.
Although the two of them seem to have decent fighting power now, compared to those ancient monsters who have lived for countless years, they are still far inferior. Those monsters could kill them with a single hand.
So keeping a low profile is definitely the right thing to do.
The saying "a tall tree catches the wind" applies to any era.
"There's news."
"There's news."
About ten minutes later, the Blackwater Sect disciple who had returned earlier to report the news came back.
His face was full of excitement as he said, "About five minutes ago, someone saw this Shenwu Sect disciple at the entrance of the black market."
The so-called black market entrance is where things that can't be sold in the light of day are sold.
This Shenwu Sect disciple named Ye Hua was the one who stole the Evergreen Lamp, so if he wanted to sell it, he could only go to a place like the black market.
Because there is a rule in black market transactions: do not ask about origin or source, only recognize the actual value of the item.
Even if an ordinary sect disciple were given the Evergreen Lamp, he wouldn't be able to use it much.
Therefore, the best way for the other party to deal with the Evergreen Lamp is to convert it into cash and then exchange it for a treasure that is beneficial to their cultivation.
The Blackwater Gate members had already encountered Ye Hua in the black market, but they didn't expect this guy to dare to go there again.
There's a saying that goes, "You die without even knowing how you died."
Does Ye Hua not feel even the slightest bit of fear in his heart?
He took something that originally belonged to the sect. If the Divine Martial Sect investigates, he will definitely die a miserable death. If he were Qin Fei, he would definitely run far away and hide.
They should wait until this storm passes before going out again.
“I think we can start taking action now.”
Having received confirmation, King Wu gave Qin Fei a wink, and Qin Fei immediately understood and stood up.
Regardless of whether this disciple named Ye Hua is in the black market yet, they should go and take a look.
Even if all else fails, you can just stay there and wait.
This guy is definitely eager to sell the evergreen lamp he has. If he can go to the black market twice, he can go a third time. So all they need to do is wait for him to come to them.
Arriving at the so-called black market outside the city, they found a cluster of buildings that had only recently been established. Unlike the buildings of those large powers, which had similar styles, the buildings here were of varying heights, and some houses were simply pieced together from a few planks of wood.
In Qin Fei's words, this place is a bit like those so-called shantytowns on Earth, and it looks messy just from the outside.
However, this seemingly dirty and chaotic place actually hides many powerful auras, including even experts at the Dao God Realm level.
In an era when Dao Saints did not exist, Dao Gods were already considered top-tier powerhouses.
"Who's behind this black market?"
"And who's in charge of security?" Qin Fei asked the Martial King beside him.
“I don’t think asking these questions is what you need to care about right now. It’s like going out to eat and asking the waiter where he works. Isn’t that redundant?” King Wu said irritably.
"I was just asking casually."
In Qin Fei's view, the person who could create such a market must have a very complicated background. In addition, the people here are a mixed bunch, so without strong power, it would be difficult to control them.
Subconsciously activating his X-ray vision, Qin Fei's gaze swept across the entire black market in an instant.
Upon scanning the area, Qin Fei's expression changed, for he saw several Blackwater Sect disciples gathered around a dead body, watching the spectacle.
The person who had just returned to deliver the message was among them.
"Could it be...?"
A bad feeling flashed through Qin Fei's mind, and he immediately rushed into the black market.
With a flash, Qin Fei arrived at the center of the crowd.
"Is he that Ye Hua?" Qin Fei asked, pointing directly at the man on the ground whose eyes were wide open in death.
"It's him!"
Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, the Blackwater Sect disciple who knew the inside story nodded and then said, "When we found him earlier, he was wandering around this black market, but just now he was attacked by a man in black and died on the spot!"
"His belongings were also taken from him."
Without a doubt, Ye Hua was targeted because he had revealed his wealth, and was killed in the street.
Moreover, the person who killed him was extremely professional; he was killed with a single blow.
"Why didn't you stop them?" shouted the Blackwater Sect disciple who was responsible for going back to report.
“The man in black is at least at the Dao Profound Realm, how can we possibly stop him?” Several other Blackwater Sect disciples said with a wronged expression.
They wanted to stop the person, but the key was that they needed to have the corresponding strength.
Since they dared to double-cross each other in full view of everyone, they must have real skills.
If they dare to make a move, they will probably follow in Ye Hua's footsteps very soon.
In the eyes of the strong, these weak people have no human rights whatsoever; killing them is no different from killing a few dogs.
Unfortunately, Qin Fei and King Wu arrived a little too late; otherwise, they might have been able to see who was committing the crime.
"Now things might be a bit tricky."
King Wu sighed: "We Blackwater Gate can handle ordinary intelligence gathering, but now that it concerns someone even more powerful, ordinary people probably won't be able to do much."
Do you have any good suggestions?
Blackwater is indeed adept at competing on channels and information gathering capabilities, but these skills become useless when faced with an overwhelming force.
It should be noted that the strongest person in the Blackwater Sect is their sect leader, but the sect leader only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Dao God Realm. Such strength is actually somewhat insufficient.
"Let's go, let's go see that Dao God Realm expert in this black market!"
Since the perpetrator acted in full view of everyone, Qin Fei believed that the person in charge of black market security must know who the other party was.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have the courage to question a Dao God Realm expert.
But Qin Fei wasn't afraid.
He now has the entire Divine Martial Sect standing behind him, and he doesn't believe that the Dao God Realm expert in this black market doesn't know the consequences of offending him.
So what if the other party is at the Dao God Realm?
Even Qin Fei, a Dao Saint Realm expert, isn't afraid!
They led Martial King Qin Fei directly to the person with the strongest aura in the black market.
There was an old man, who looked disheveled and unkempt. It was hard to associate him with a top expert.
But in reality, he is the strongest person here.
His cultivation level is at least at the mid-stage of the Dao God Realm.
Such strength would be considered that of a powerful figure even among the top-tier forces.
"Young Master Qin, what an honored guest!" Upon seeing Qin Fei, the old man was the first to respond.
It was obvious that he knew Qin Fei.
"Old man, let's not beat around the bush. There was a double-cross in this black market just now. Since you are the strongest here, can you tell me who the person who did it was?" Qin Fei asked directly.
"I'd like to know what this has to do with you?" the old man in front of him asked calmly.
"The man who was killed possessed one of my treasures. Now, everything on him has been stolen, and my things were stolen along with it. That's the relationship between me and the deceased," Qin Fei explained briefly.
“If anyone else had come up to me and asked me such a direct question, I might have slapped them across the face. But since you are a distinguished guest, Mr. Qin, I will of course give you this face.”
"The person who stole your things is from the Li family; they are Li Wei's protectors." The old man gave Qin Fei a clear answer directly.
"Li Wei?"
"Doesn't the Li family only have one Li Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fei's brows furrowed instantly.
He knew that every super genius had a protector behind them, and Li Yan was no exception.
But could the Li family have another super genius besides Li Yan?
Or perhaps these two Li families are not the same one at all?
"Can you tell me who this Li Wei is?" With doubts in his mind, Qin Fei didn't hesitate and asked immediately.
After hearing what he said, the old man in front of him simply shook his head slightly: "I have already violated some taboo by selling someone else's identity. I hope Young Master Qin will not make things too difficult for me."
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
Qin Fei wasn't an unreasonable person. Since the other party had already made things so clear, if he continued to ask questions, it would only be his own ignorance.
