Chereads / Martial Peak (LONG AWAITED FANFIC) / Chapter 43 - Negotiation (2)

Chapter 43 - Negotiation (2)

"100,000 silver coins is a great sum, are you still not satisfied?" Bai Yun Feng's brow wrinkled, somewhat unhappily staring at Yang Kai. Up till now they had bought a lot of these martial skills, but never was there such a high price tag, if they had not heard that this martial skill carried extraordinary power, how could they have been so generous?

'This little brat doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!' Bai Yun Feng thought to himself, he was the Bai Family's young master, even if this martial skill really was worth 100,000 silvers he should still happily sell it to me for 50,000!

Seeing that Bai Yun Feng was getting frustrated, Dong Qing Han decided to add fuel to the fire, still pretending he did not know Yang Kai, he joined in, "Kid, this Young Master will also bid, 200,000 silver coins plus one bottle of the Dong Family's exclusive Profound Yuan Pills, how about it?"

Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong both turned surprised looks towards Dong Qing Han, they had not thought he would actually offer up a bottle of Profound Yuan Pills Xuan Yuan, that was an Earth Grade Mid-Rank Spirit Pill. Although the grade was not high, the effects were absolutely outstanding. Using it as an auxiliary when one cultivated would allow one to gain more with less effort.

"Two hundred thousand, plus a Common Grade Low-Rank artifact!" Fan Hong immediately raised his bid.

Dong Qing Han frowned, "Brother Fan, you should not compete so ruthlessly."

However, before Fan Hong could speak, Bai Yun Feng cut in, "Brother Dong must be mistaken, this martial skill has extraordinary power, since we all want it, naturally we have to use some means, and any price we are willing to offer is fair. 300,000 silvers, plus a Common Grade Low-Rank artifact, but it will be a defensive artifact!"

When Fan Hong heard this, he simply smiled, "Brother Bai is truly enthusiastic."

This price, even he did not dare to offer up. He had not thought Bai Yun Feng would be so decisive.

Dong Qing Han also laughed, "Since the Brother Bai is so determined, then this Young Master will not fight with you, it would only let me suffer."

Bai Yun Feng laughed, cupping his hands, "You're too humble! For this opportunity, I will surely make it up to you both!"

These three people offering such a price seemed quite satisfied. Looking at them would make one believe that this Star Mark martial skill already belonged to them, completely disregarding Yang Kai opinion.

But yang kai remain unmoved.

Bai Yun Feng's face suddenly went stiff while Fan Hong was also stunned.

"300,000 silvers, plus a Common Grade Low-Rank defense artifact should be more than enough to offset the cost of your martial skill. You might not know this so I will warn you first. Being too greedy will cause you to lose everything." Bai Yun Feng expression dimmed and his voice became somewhat cold and threatening.

Cao Zheng Wen, who was standing behind Bai Yun Feng, also sneered as he said, "Yang Kai, not giving some face is too shameless. The price Young Master Bai offered is already more than fair, what more do you want?"

Bai Yun Feng opened his paper fan, crossing his legs. Looking towards Yang Kai, gently fanning himself, showing his utter disdain and contempt.

Dong Qing Han continued to muddy the waters, deliberately saying, "Oh? Perhaps you want to join one of our forces?"

Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong frowned, thinking that this might be a possibility.

The two people hadn't finished considering before Cao Zheng Wen interjected again, "Young Master Bai, this person had come to High Heaven Pavilion for more than three years but had only cultivated to the Tempered Body Third Stage, forcing him to become a High Heaven Pavilion Trial Disciple. His qualifications are mediocre at best, and is doomed to have no future. The Bai Family recruiting him will only bring shame, Young Master must think twice."

Just as he had finished speaking, Yang Kai suddenly flicked his wrist and shot the glass of wine in his hands forward, splashing it directly on Cao Zheng Wen's face.

Everyone's face at the table underwent a steep change. Especially Bai Yun Feng, his expression was extremely ugly.

"Little brat, if you want to kick a dog you must first consider his master." Bai Yun Feng glared at Yang Kai, his eyes shining a dangerous light, "If you do not give me a satisfactory explanation today, you should never expect to leave here."

"An explanation?" Yang Kai remained indifferent, "My martial skill is of the Mysterious Grade, is this explanation enough?"

After this remark, everyone's face was shocked again, even Dong Qing Han was also stunned.

Mysterious Grade!

Everyone had guessed that Yang Kai's martial skill was extraordinary, but they had never imagined it was Mysterious Grade.

Even the first-class forces like the Dong Family, Bai Family, and Purple Fern Valley only had a few Mysterious Grade martial skills, and any one of these was a closely guarded treasure of their Sects. If one was not a future pillar of the force they were absolute unable to cultivate it.

"Are you serious?" Dong Qing Han's voice was trembling somewhat, violently cursing inside, 'If I had known it was a Mysterious Grade Martial Skill, I would have seriously tried to acquire it. Since he's my cousin, trading for this martial skill might not have been impossible but now these two idiots Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong also are involved here, this matter isn't going to be easy to resolve.'

Yang kai said, "Believe if you wanted or leave"

"On top of the price I offered you before, you may also join my Bai Family as a disciple." Bai Yun Feng took a deep breath and decisively offered to accept Yang Kai as a disciple. Allowing him to join in exchange for a Mysterious Grade martial skill, the Bai Family was definitely earning big; as for Yang Kai's treatment once inside the Bai Family, that would be up this his own qualifications.

"I will also accept you as a disciple on behalf of Purple Fern Valley, and guarantee you a good practice environment." Fan Hong also hurriedly offered.

"I have no interest in joining any of you." Yang Kai was too lazy to spend any more time on them.

Bai Yun Feng's look changed, sneering again, his hand reached out to block Yang Kai's path, "If you don't hand over that martial skill now, you'll never leave here again."

Unable to reach a deal, he now intended to simply rob him. A no-name High Heaven Pavilion disciple was really nothing in his eyes.

But unknowingly he has dig his own grave.

Bai Yun Feng nodded coldly, "Break his hands and feet, let him know what the consequences of insulting this young master are. A no-name disciple from an insignificant Sect. How dare he be so impudent?!"

"Young Master rest ȧssured, I have long wanted to teach this little shit a lesson." Cao Zheng Wen sneered endlessly, staring at Yang Kai from only ten feet away.

But before he could take a single step, a figure appeared in front of him. In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai had crossed the ten feet gap between them and was now right before him.

Cao Zheng Wen was stunned, immediately becoming serious, desperately throwing a palm.

But end result you all guys know already…

His palm was disperse with his punch and when his punch land on his head it shot like a ball hit by a bat but body still there.

Yang kai than muttered, "So weak".

One strike! This change startled everyone present.

Dong Qing Han stared at Yang Kai, he did not expect that after not seeing him for four years, his cousin had changed to this degree.

Yang Kai stood tall with an indifferent look upon his face, clearly disdaining all who watched, arrogant to the extreme.

Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong were both slightly shocked. It took Bai Yun Feng a moment to adjust before glancing towards the fallen Cao Zheng Wen, coldy snorting once, "He really is just a minor Sect's piece of trash disciple, so pathetic and vulnerable, it seems that this Young Master must personally come forward!"

Fan Hong looked at him and felt slightly relieved, after all, Bai Yun Feng was the Young Master of the Bai Family. He did not care about the life and death of Cao Zheng Wen, but regardless of the circumstances he was now one of the Bai Family's disciples. Now, in front of his face, he had been crippled; how could Bai Yun Feng allow such an insult to pass?

For Fan Hong, if it was him, he would not let this go. What's more, this Yang Kai brat also has a Mysterious Grade martial skill. This situation was a perfect excuse to pick a fight, and then force him to cough up the martial skill's cultivation methods.

"Brother Bai, are you sure you want to personally take action in someone else's site?" Dong Qing Han was worried that Yang Kai wouldn't be able to handle him so he quickly stood up and objected, after all, Bai Yun Feng was a True Element Boundary First Stage master.

Bai Yun Feng snorted, "Who cares if this is someone else's site? He dared to harm my Bai Family's disciple; he must pay an appropriate price!"

He was determined to go against Yang Kai.

Dong Qing Han couldn't help but frown, he was determined to help but could not find a way to intervene, after all, to outsiders he and Yang Kai had also just met by chance if he acted too overtly, it was likely others would become suspicious. Once Yang Kai's identity was exposed it would only bring harm to him rather than good.

The Yang Family was indeed powerful, but they also had many enemies, it was impossible to guess just how many people in this world hated them.

While he was desperately trying to find a path forward, he suddenly saw Yang Kai secretly wink at him, signaling Dong Qing Han to relax and not speak out again.

Bai Yun Feng slowly walked towards Yang Kai while calling out, "You two, stand aside and do not interfere."

"Yes!" Two old men Chen respectfully answered and stepped back.

Dong Qing Han was accompanied by Divine Movement Realm masters to guard him, how could Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong not as well? After all, they were both leaders of their respective forces younger generation. Before they had fully mȧturėd, naturally someone they would have someone to protect their safety.

Yang Kai simply sneered.

There was no need for words, his attitude had shown everything.

"Good, I will at least spare your life; after all, you still have some value!" As Bai Yun Feng finished, his image blurred, fading like dust in the wind, misty and illusory.

Yang Kai looked carefree and flamboyant

Originally, Yang Kai had not wanted to confront make an enemy yet.

But thinking that this person was hanging around Su Yan's home all day long, Yang Kai was unable to contain himself. Every man should recognize his woman as off-limits, and although Bai Yun Feng had never even seen Su Yan, his actions had still made Yang Kai extremely unhappy.

Bai Yun Feng directly used his strongest move [Heaven's snare].

While Yang Kai simply used his punch without any Qi just a simple punch but the result, Bai Yun Feng is nowhere to be seen only a blood on the floor and various organs here and there, Bai Yun Feng is dead!

"Hiss!" The group of Divine Movement Realm masters all sucked down a cold lump, looking towards Yang Kai in horror. But after some time they regain their senses and immediately they tried to attack him not the slightest caring about of dignity of a senior.

However, before they could take a single step, two big hands landed on their left and right shoulders respectively.

Instantly their bodies went stiff, two Divine Movement Realm masters from that moment on could not move, their True Qi refused to circulate and they felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on their shoulders, even lifting a finger was currently impossible.

Their faces went pale, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, so terrified that their souls nearly left their bodies and their strong hearts suddenly stopped or a second

Although these two's cultivations were only around the Divine Movement Realm Fourth or Fifth Stage, they could still be considered masters of their generation, but now both of them had quietly been restrained, it was obvious just how unfathomable the strength of this master was!

The two found that they again able to move and rapidly turned around to see an black clothed man leisurely standing there, his face relaxed, smiling as he looked at them.

"What are your two's opinions?" Yang kai clone asked with a big smile plastered on his face.

The other side was simply an monster, a snap of his fingers could end their lives, refuting meant death!

This unbelievable scene played out right before the eyes of the Divine Movement Realm experts from the Dong Family and Purple Fern Valley. These four also did had no idea how that man had done this, or even when he had appeared beside the Bai Family's masters, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

For the Dong Family masters, although they were both shocked, but they managed to remain calm, they knew their own young master and Yang Kai were cousins so naturally, they were unafraid.

As for the two Divine Movement Realm masters from Purple Fern Valley, both of them vigilantly looked towards Yang kai clone, desperately trying to see his appearance but his face has been covered with a black cloth.

Suddenly, Their expressions rapidly changed, both turning their faces to the side, surprised find that another old man had at some point appeared.

This old man had a scholarly temperament, his beard pure white, wearing a very simple robe, quietly standing next to them.

Another master!

He was simply standing there, stroking his beard, a friendly smile on his face, watching these two junior disciples furiously converge their Qi, but the Purple Fern Valley's two experts were still aware of this old man had locked his perception onto them.

Once they showed the slightest aggression, both of them would be ruthlessly cut down!

In this little High Hall Pavilion, why were there so many terrifying old monsters? With just these two masters, it could be said that High Heaven Pavilion's strength was in no way inferior to a general first-class forces.

The Divine Movement Realm masters from Purple Fern Valley and the Bai Family all looked at each other with faces filled with shock and frustration. If no one was watching they would have cried tears of frustration and sadness.

*Shua Shua Shua*

Another five figures landed nearby; High Heaven Pavilion's five elders had also arrived. The five men had been drawn here by this fight, ready to launch a thorough investigation, but seeing the white-bearded old man, their faces suddenly became happy, quickly saluting, "Greetings Sect Master!"

This person was actually High Heaven Pavilion's Sect Master! The hidden dragon who showed his tail but never his face!

When these three forces came to High Heaven Pavilion, the Sect Master refused to even meet with them. For this reason, these experts and several young masters complained out loud, saying this High Heaven Pavilion Sect Master was being discourteous to them, but now that they were aware of how powerful he was, how could they dare have any complaints?

With the strength of his cultivation, he really did not need to put these three forces' young masters and experts in his eyes, unless their forces Elders showed up, him not appearing could be considered perfectly normal.

Fan Hong quickly regaining his wits, quickly ran over, "Purple Fern Valley disciple Fan Hong pays his respects to senior."

The Sect Master simply smiled and nodded, not speaking a word, just looking towards the black clothed man who appeared stopping these masters as he was not able to see the cultivation base of this man.

The battle from start to finish was never an even fight. But the end result was that the one with lower strength had won, thoroughly surprising everyone present.

"You came to High Heaven Pavilion as guests, and this old man has accepted your presence, but High Heaven Pavilion is not a place where you can act without consequences!" The Sect Master, although still appearing cordial and reserved, spoke firmly at this time; anyone listening could hear the wrath hidden beneath his casual voice.

The many gathered experts hearing this could not help but panic.

The name of the Bai Family was tarnished. The experts of the family no longer had any face to salvage.

They cupped their fists and said, "For the past days we have imposed on your hospitality. We hope High Heaven Pavilion will forgive our rudeness, but one day our Bai Family will provide a satisfactory compensation!"

The two Divine Movement Realm masters quickly left.

Watching the events unfold, the Purple Fern Valley's people dared not stay. They had heavily underestimated this small and remote sect, coming here and acting like powerful and noble masters, wantonly snatching up prospective talents. Today, two terrifying old monsters had consecutively appeared while a High Heaven Pavilion disciple killed the Bai Family's young master. All of this sent chills down the Purple Fern Valley cultivator's backs.

The High Heaven Pavilion cannot be underestimated! There were powerful masters present, and a mere disciple turned out to be a monster to defy all odds. To the others, this was simply a group people playing pigs to eat tigers!

Fan Hong and his two Divine Movement Realm guards quickly said their farewells and fled.

Dong Qing Han and the Wind and Cloud Dual Guards followed suit. As they departed, Dong Qing Han glanced at Yang Kai, still unable to recover from the shocking result.

Su Xuan Wu looked over the disciples, firmly saying, "All the disciples who have agreed to join these three forces over the past few months are to leave immediately. The High Heaven Pavilion is just a small Sect. We have no room to shelter those of you who are only seeking greater benefits for yourself."

The announcement put shame on many prospective disciples in the crowd.

Many of them had already agreed to join one of the three forces thinking that by seeking refuge with them they could find a better place, but they had not thought their own Sect could be so prestigious.

They all saw that when their Sect Master and unknown man appeared, the Divine Movement Realm experts became nothing more than frightened rabbits, their senses for good behavior and courtesy instantly showing.

At the moment, those disciples' hearts were filled with regret, but the Second Elder has already released them. How could they shamelessly stay?

On the battlefield, Yang Kai caught his breath and looked towards the Sect Master of High Heaven Pavilion. Seemingly to understand something and waited meeting him he send the message to his clone to leave.

"Everyone disperse," The Sect Master ordered. He looked at Yang Kai, his face showing a kind and understanding smile. He then told him, "Come with me!"

The five elders all looked surprised. They did not expect that the battle would rise the Sect Master's opinion of Yang Kai so much.

Yang Kai nodded.

Following closely behind, Yang Kai left with the Sect Master, all eyes on them. Before, they only looked at him with contempt and disdain, but now all their faces showed horror and panic.

The two soon came to a deep secluded land.

This land was where the Sect Master cultivated in seclusion. Typically, even the five elders could not set foot here.

A single house, a few additional cottages, the epitome of simplicity, only a small garden planted with many flowers decorated this plain scene. The Sect Master's retreat seemed to be devoid of the slightest luxuries, exuding a clean and elegant life.

In the courtyard, the Sect Master stood under a plum tree, one hand behind his back, and his other stroking his beard, motionless, gazing off into the distance.

Yang Kai walked up, not disturbing him, then stood there, casually glancing around, observing the budding flowers adorning the tree's branches, gently fluttering in the cold wind.

One young and one old, both stood silently for one day and one night, until the buds had completely bloomed, only then did the Sect Master turn to him, kindly inquiring, "Who was he that saved you?"
