Chapter 343: The Source of Trouble

“A strongman at the early stage of the Ultimate Realm?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. With just a mental scan, he could tell the other person’s level of cultivation. Yet he couldn’t recall when he had offended this person.
“Who are you?” If the other party had come deliberately to cause trouble, Ye Feng wasn’t afraid. Now that he was using an Ultimate Realm puppet and his cultivation was at the peak of that realm, even if the opponent was as strong as Xue Sha, he might not lose. Of course, he wasn’t afraid of this person who was only at the early stage of the Ultimate Realm. But he had no idea why the other party had come and wanted to understand what was going on.
“I’m Qi Sha. You must be Dao Feng, right?” A young man with a murderous gaze stepped slowly into the inn, stopping not far from the entrance, and looked up at Ye Feng and the others.
“Oh, it seems you’re not mistaking me…” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. The fact that the other party had come specifically to find him puzzled him. But given the other’s confident attitude, Ye Feng didn’t bother asking why he had come to cause trouble.
“Hmph, it seems you still don’t realize how valuable your head is…” the young man sneered.
“I really don’t know. Is there really someone willing to pay for it?” Hearing this, Ye Feng became somewhat interested.
“A mid-tier divine artifact, ten thousand top-tier magic crystals, and one Divine Calamity Pill!” the man said with a smile. “Your portrait has been posted all over the black market lately. Eighty percent of the strongmen in the Demon Realm are searching for you. I wonder where you’ve been hiding to avoid everyone’s pursuit. But that’s over now. Your head belongs to me. And all I need to pay for it is a high-tier magic weapon…”
“Aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?” Ye Feng was already annoyed because he hadn’t found the pearl. With the other person’s provocation, his expression darkened. “I’m in a bad mood today, and you happen to show up. Then I’ll just use you as a target to vent my anger…”
Before his words faded, Ye Feng had already appeared in front of the other man. Under the latter’s shocked expression, Ye Feng slowly raised a hand.
Before the young man could react, Ye Feng was already in front of him. The movement of that hand seemed extremely slow, but he had nowhere to retreat and no way to resist. He could only let the other man grab his throat. “You…”

“What’s wrong with me?” Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly as he increased the pressure in his hand. “Since my head is so valuable, you should be able to guess why by now, right?”
The man’s eyes were filled with pleading, and from Ye Feng’s gaze, he could see the icy intent to kill.
“Ye Feng…” Long Yue and the others also sensed the fierce killing aura emanating from Ye Feng.
Hearing this call, the killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes gradually subsided. He changed his grip from claws to a palm and slammed it hard on the man’s chest. “Get lost! If anyone else dares to target me, they’ll be killed without mercy!”
The man named Qi Sha was instantly flung backward, breaking through several walls before falling into a pile of bricks and tiles…
That roar instantly echoed throughout the entire Pojun City, reaching everyone’s ears.
The crowd in the city immediately began to chatter…
“Who is this person? Their strength is so formidable…”
“If they can make their voice heard throughout Pojun City, they must be an extremely powerful warrior.”
“The strength of this person’s blade is truly astonishing…”
…
…
The people who had gathered nearby to watch the spectacle felt embarrassed after seeing this outcome. They turned away, pretending not to have seen anything, fearing trouble.
“It seems I can’t stay in Pojun City any longer…” Ye Feng turned with a helpless smile, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
“Did you really intend to kill him just now?” Long Yue frowned slightly.
“That’s right! I wanted to use him as a warning to others…” Ye Feng didn’t hide it. “If I let him go easily, it would only make people think I’m too lenient. Once they believe I’m unwilling to kill, they’ll come looking for trouble without hesitation. That’s not good.”
“Let’s leave. We need to find a place to stay first, then figure out how to find the pearl.” Ye Feng didn’t want to dwell on this issue anymore and changed the subject.
“Hmm, let’s go.” Qing Lang broke the silence.
After what Qi Sha had done, it was completely impossible to continue living in Pojun City. Ye Feng also knew there were many people who were secretly plotting against him.
“A mid-tier divine artifact, ten thousand top-tier magic crystals, and one Divine Calamity Pill…” In the new inn, Ye Feng frowned deeply. “Neither the mid-tier divine artifact, nor the top-tier magic crystals, nor the Divine Calamity Pill are things that can be obtained easily. Who could possibly spend so much to buy my life?”
“Could it be…” Ye Feng suddenly thought of something.
“What is it?” Kelly couldn’t help but ask, seeing the strange expression on Ye Feng’s face.

“I have a rough idea of how this warrant came about…” Ye Feng smiled bitterly. “When I first arrived in the Demon Realm, I killed the third Demon Emperor’s brother… It seems that among those who hold grudges against me, only the third Demon Emperor has enough wealth to offer such rewards.”
“Mid-tier divine artifacts are priceless to most people in the Demon Realm, let alone the Divine Calamity Pills, which are something even the strongest warriors dream of possessing. As for ten thousand top-grade demon crystals, not to mention how many demon stones they can be exchanged for, the energy contained within them is enough to cultivate many ultimate masters,” Qing Lang said with a laugh. “It seems they truly hate you to the bone…”
“If it really is the third Demon Emperor, running around in the Demon Realm is useless—they can find us easily…” Long Yue’s tone remained icy. “Everywhere in the Demon Realm has their spies.”
“We can just disguise ourselves…” Ye Feng said as he took out several leather masks and handed them to the others. “Under normal circumstances, I’d be too lazy to change masks, but our main task now is to find Pearl. The Demon Realm is too dangerous for her. Although you’ve trained in the Cultivation Realm for hundreds of years, it’s only just enough to meet the requirements for ascending to the Demon Realm—your strength is even weaker than that of newcomers. And the Demon Realm is a place where the strong prey on the weak; everything is decided by force, which makes things even worse.”
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Long Yue and the others looked at Ye Feng in surprise. After all, they had arrived in this city less than ten minutes ago—who could possibly know they were here?
Yet Ye Feng appeared relaxed, as if he already knew who was knocking. “Come in. There are no outsiders here…”
