Venerable Martial Emperor

The gloomy voice pulled Xu Feng back from his thoughts. After tidying his clothes, he took a deep breath and strode inside.    

Clang! As soon as he stepped into the dilapidated courtyard, the door behind him was tightly shut, scaring Xu Feng.    

Stopping, Xu Feng looked around and found nothing unusual, so he walked into the hall step by step.    

When he stepped on the hall, he felt a strong suction force from inside, making him fall down involuntarily!    

"Ah!"    

A scream came out of Xu Feng's mouth, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. That feeling was the panic after losing his center of gravity. He also realized that... He had no way of circulating the Yuan energy in his body to fly.    

"Wake up!"    

A voice sounded in his mind, but it was like a clear spring flowing into Xu Feng's heart, gradually calming him down.    

When he came back to his senses, he found that this was not some run-down courtyard. He had arrived at a completely new place. On a big chair not far away. An old man who looked like a bag of bones sat there, his eyes turbid. If it wasn't for the faint Qi that was emitting from his body, Xu Feng would have thought that he was a dead man.    

"This... is the master of Ghost Market?"    

Xu Feng looked at the old man with a puzzled expression and whispered in his heart. He didn't move because he didn't know why this old man asked the Snow Wolf to find him. At least, from the attitude of the Snow Wolf's army, it wasn't 100% certain that it was a good thing.    

"Sit!"    

The old man spoke. His eyes were dull, but Xu Feng still did not move. After stabilizing his mind, he said slowly, "There's no need to take a seat. Tell me who you are. What business do you have with me?"    

For others, seeing the old man in front of them would give them respect, but Xu Feng wouldn't.    

Now that he was here, it meant that he couldn't move. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Why would Xu Feng need to be respectful?    

"Hehe..."    

The old man chuckled. The muscles on his face twitched, but when Xu Feng saw his forced smile, his heart trembled. He couldn't help but want to say something to stop him from laughing. Otherwise, he would scare people.    

The old man didn't know what Xu Feng was thinking at this moment. He continued, "This old man is Ku Mu, the ruler of Ghost Market. That's all. I have no ill intentions in sending Young Fellow Taoist Xu Feng here. Please forgive me, little friend!"    

"Forgive me? You have ordered more than a hundred Void Initiation Stage experts to capture me and kill me in a matter of minutes, and you still say that you have no ill intentions? Do you really think that I'm an idiot? "    

Xu Feng jumped up and pointed at the old man's nose as he cursed. He didn't believe this old man's nonsense. The Snow Wolf had sent over a hundred Void Initiation Stage warriors to kill him. Each of them was enough to kill him. Such a line-up... And they didn't have any ill intentions?    

"This..."    

Deadwood was stunned by Xu Feng's scolding. He didn't expect Xu Feng to have such a big reaction. It was he who had told Xu Feng that he was the master of Ghost Market. However, Xu Feng still dared to jump up and curse.    

It had been so many years. Even though he rarely moved around in the Southern Ridge, when the people in the world heard about the dead trees in the Ghost Market, how many people didn't fear them?    

At this moment, there was only one sentence in the mind of the dead wood - newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!    

However, the dead wood was an old monster. He quickly reacted and continued, "Little friend, please calm down. This is indeed not my intention. If you are not satisfied, I can kill all those people just now!"    

When he said this, an extremely powerful Qi suddenly emerged from his body. This Qi caused Xu Feng to stagger and take a few steps back.    

However, it was only for a split second. In an instant, Ku Mu restrained this Qi. Then, he turned into an old man who was no different from an ordinary old man.    

"Damn it! He really is an old fox!"    

Xu Feng took a deep breath and calmed down a little. After cursing in his heart, he also calmed down.    

If this dead tree really wanted to kill the Snow Wolf's army... It was the Qi of an extremely powerful expert that couldn't be restrained. If this was told to the public, even a child wouldn't believe it.    

The only possibility was that this old man was pointing fingers at someone and scolding someone. The one he wanted to warn was Xu Feng.    

"Since you want to play, then I'll play with you!"    

Xu Feng sneered in his heart. He already had an idea in his mind. He pretended not to understand. He mumbled, "It's not necessary to kill so many people. The leader, Lu Baixian... He is quite arrogant. Why don't you kill him? "    

"Alright!"    

Or perhaps he didn't expect Xu Feng to actually hit him with the stick. Deadwood was stunned for a moment, then he agreed with a deep voice. His cloudy eyes were even colder and colder, causing people to tremble with fear.    

However, his hands didn't stop. Under his loose robe, he stretched out his skinny palm. The void trembled, and in the next moment, Lu Baixian had already fallen into the hall.    

"Greetings, Master!"    

After Lu Baixian regained his senses, he quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the dead wood. He had absolute loyalty to the dead wood. Otherwise, they wouldn't have become the most loyal force in Ghost Market.    

"Hmph!"    

After a cold snort, a cold light flashed across the dead wood's eyes. It was as if it had materialized and was extremely fast. A white light flashed in front of him, and Lu Baixian's shoulder was covered in blood and flesh.    

However, even though he had suffered such intense pain, Lu Baixian still knelt on the ground and did not dare to move an inch. He allowed the blood to dye the hall red. His forehead was filled with traces of perspiration.    

"Lu Baixian, do you know your crime?"    

Deadwood spoke. Lu Baixian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the master, I do not know!"    

"Swoosh!"    

Another cold light flashed. The shoulder on the other side was also injured. Blood stained the old armor on his body. He looked very pitiful.    

This was just a trick to hurt himself. Xu Feng was very clear in his heart. He was watching everything from the sidelines and did not say anything.    

Furthermore, Lu Baixian treated Xia Yuvlaan and Zhao Loong like this in the outside world. It would not do him any good to let Xia Yuvlaan and Zhao Loong suffer a little loss at this time.    

"My Lord, please forgive me!"    

Lu Baixian endured the pain on his shoulder and suffered an undeserved calamity. He was speechless, but he knew that it was futile to say anything now. Only by begging for mercy could he possibly leave his life in the hands of Ku Mu.    

"Do you know your crime?"    

Ku Mu coldly harrumphed. Only then did he retract the Qi on his body. As he sat on the big chair, no one was able to link the old man who had lost his footing with him. It was as if they were two different people.    

"What crime do I know!?"    

Lu Baixian felt extremely depressed in his heart. However, he wasn't an idiot when Xu Feng was here. He turned his head and said to Xu Feng, "I have offended you before. Pill Alchemist Xu, please forgive me!"    

"Do you people in Ghost Market like others so much? Don't forgive me."    

Xu Feng sneered. He had a cold expression on his face. Whether it was Hwa Shaofeng or the two men in front of him, they had used this kind of method to capture him here. They had asked him for help and told him not to forgive them.    

To be honest, if Xu Feng was strong enough, it would be a lie if he didn't forgive them. He was afraid that Xu Feng would tear the entire Ghost Market apart.    

"Since you don't accept his apology, we can only kill him now!"    

Deadwood let out a cold snort. He condensed his Yuan energy into a sword light and thrust it towards Lu Baixian's heart.    

"Forget it, let's not be hypocritical here!"    

When the sword light was about to pierce into Lu Baixian's chest, Xu Feng's voice was slowly heard. The sword light stopped in midair.    

Xu Feng was 100% sure that this sword light was a premeditated plan. According to the speed just now, if he was not prepared, he would not have stopped at this moment.    

"What's the matter? Just tell me!"    

Xu Feng spoke again. The sword light that had stopped in midair turned into specks of starlight and dissipated into the hall. Lu Baixian heaved a heavy sigh of relief and said with difficulty, "Thank you!"    

Lu Baixian was not Xu Feng. He had a deeper understanding of his master. He knew that if Xu Feng did not stop him, it was absolutely possible that the blade would have landed on his heart.    

"Withdraw!"    

Deadwood waved his hand. The space trembled and Lu Baixian was sent away. There were only two people left in the scene. The blood on the ground indicated what had just happened.    

"Why did Senior Ku look for me this time?"    

The unpleasant episode had already passed. Xu Feng didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. He didn't have a good impression of Deadwood compared to the first time he saw Hwa Shaofeng.    

"For the treasure!"    

Deadwood's eyes sparkled with divine light. That kind of turbid and dull expression was swept away. In his eyes, there was also a kind of madness.    

"Treasure? You still want me to come if there's treasure? Stop joking! "    

Xu Feng knew very well that there was no free lunch in the sky. Now that the word 'treasure' was mentioned by Deadwood, what he thought of wasn't the treasure, but a trap.    

" Hehehe... Of course, that was a place where treasure and danger coexisted. As long as you have the strength, it wouldn't be a problem for you to break through to the Void Initiation Stage! "    

Only benefits could move people. Ku Mu knew this point, so he told Xu Feng what Xu Feng needed the most right now. He had to admit that this sentence had really moved Xu Feng's heart.    

" Right now, the entire Southern Ridge is hunting you down. You have no other choice but to go to that place! "    

Looking at Xu Feng who was deep in thought, Ku Mu spoke once again. His voice seemed to carry a strange magic, causing Xu Feng to slowly become intoxicated by it. He actually had some thoughts of agreeing to Xu Feng's request.
