"Gu Xi!"
Glancing briefly at the man named Li Gu, Gu Xi said nothing more, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became strange.
The three parties had nothing much to say.
The person in the black robe dared not say anything.
Gu Xi didn’t know what to say.
Li Gu found it inconvenient to discuss quests or anything else here, and he was not accustomed to allowing anyone into his five-meter personal space.
Thus, the three of them just glanced at each other, all silent.
Instead, the butcher, busy handling the Thunderbird, seemed unfazed by the situation unfolding before him.
He continued following his methodical process, diligently taking care of the feathers on the Thunderbird.
However, he had already dealt with most of the large feathers on the Thunderbird, leaving only the down covering its belly.
These down feathers were also electrically charged, but unlike the larger feathers, they were not as difficult to handle.
The butcher’s actions were noticeably quicker.
As the atmosphere started to warm up, hurried footsteps sounded outside the small black market building.
"Heard a new Undead Mage arrived, skilled in their craft.
Come out, let me see which Undead Mage has such abilities, daring to boast in Qianfang City."
As he spoke, a man clad in a black robe strode inside from outside.
His gaze swept across the room, landing on the black-robed man still pinned to the wall, amidst his struggle.
In the black market, if someone doesn’t wish for their appearance to be seen, most often, they wear black robes for disguise.
Some go even further by hiding their faces, preventing people from seeing their appearance.
Even the black-robed people guiding others through the black market often dress like this.
Gu Xi was clearly in an elf shooter attire, holding a longbow in his hand.
Li Gu, even taller than his longbow, carried it with an expression displaying confidence as a divine shooter.
Hence, the newly arrived black-robed Undead Mage instantly focused on the one still stuck on the wall.
"I wondered what kind of Undead Mage was so impressive, turns out it’s just this. You’ve already offended someone upon arriving in Qianfang City, seems like you don’t perform well."
After finishing his words, this Undead Mage took a few strides forward, coming to stand in front of the black-robed man.
He showed no courtesy to the black-robed man, delivering a heavy slap.
Swelling the black-robed man’s face.
After hitting the black-robed man, the Undead Mage felt unsatisfied.
"You come to Qianfang City and didn’t pay respects; do you not recognize me, Liu Quanyong, or do you look down on Bone Dragon Brave?
What’s it going to be? I’ve given you face.
Or do you think your flesh is sturdy?
Well, I’m not afraid of someone with thick flesh like you.
I’ll tell you directly, if more like you come, I’ll capture each one and feed you to my family’s bone dragon."
Liu Quanyong simultaneously said this while holding the collar of the black-robed man’s clothes, continuously slapping the black-robed man’s face.
At first, witnessing the situation, Gu Xi was somewhat startled. Then he couldn’t help but feel the sting on his face.
"I say that’s enough."
Finally, Gu Xi couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
Even though Li Quanyong was slapping the black-robed man’s face, the meaning behind his words was entirely aimed at teaching Gu Xi a lesson.
Upon hearing someone about to escalate the situation, Li Quanyong immediately turned his head.
"Who’s accidentally let you out, you, a backline shooter, dare to jump in front of me; afraid of dying too slowly?
Why can’t you learn from your companions, disappear as far away as possible?
Let me tell you, get out of my sight, this is none of your business.
If you dare jump out again, I’ll pull out your bones and roast them over Yin Fire for a hundred years to show you the strength of an Undead Mage."
After finishing his words, Li Quanyong delivered another heavy slap to the black-robed man’s face.
Actually, at this moment, the black-robed man hadn’t anticipated suffering such needless adversity.
In the past, no matter who it was, he commanded respect in the black market.
Never encountered a situation like this.
Not to mention being directly dragged around, slapped in the face—even a finger pointed at him would be avenged by the black market.
𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Just as the black-robed man thought to reveal his identity, Li Quanyong, in a fit of anger, continued a relentless barrage of slaps.
Anyway, Li Quanyong had already determined that conflicts between buyers in the black market were none of its concern.
As long as you don’t hit black market staff, no one would come after you.
Of course, if you disrupt black market transactions or rob without paying, the black market wouldn’t tolerate you either.
Now, Li Quanyong was banking on this, hitting while expressing his thoughts.
This indicated someone was over to steal business.
This constituted a conflict between buyers.
As long as the black-robed man couldn’t articulate, all the power of speech fell to him.
Once he subdued the man, the business of Undead Mages in Qianfang City was his to claim.
The more Li Quanyong thought about it, the happier he became; over six months, Undead Mages in Qianfang City either deserted or went missing.
Now, he felt in the realm of the Undead, he was the authority in Qianfang City.
With this in mind, Li Quanyong exerted even more force.
This time, he aimed to give all incoming Undead Mages a harsh blow.
Hopefully, the injuries on his face wouldn’t heal for ten days or more.
Crushing his confidence entirely.
So, he’d dare not compete with him for business in Qianfang City.
During Li Quanyong’s actions, Gu Xi and Li Gu indeed exchanged perplexed glances.
Neither knew what to say.
After delivering seven or eight more strikes, Li Quanyong finally released the grip on the black-robed man’s collar, forcefully shoving him against the wall.
Afterwards, he turned to look at Gu Xi and Li Gu.
"What are you looking at, never seen an Undead Mage? Watch again, and I’ll pluck out your eyes.
Remember, don’t mess with me."
With that, Li Quanyong raised his head, preparing to stride out of the room.
However, having suffered this indignity, the black-robed man wouldn’t eat such a loss.
Earlier, he nearly clashed with Li Gu.
When Li Quanyong was about to step out of the door, the black-robed man drew a button resembling a token and pressed it forcefully.
Subsequently, an urgent alarm sounded again.
This time, the alarm wasn’t the one for excessive Evil Qi; it was the warning of an attack on the black market.
With the alarm sounding, all nearby doors and windows automatically closed.
Simultaneously, various broadcasts started playing.
Swiftly organizing the evacuation of the black market’s guests through designated passageways.
However, Gu Xi and the others now had no chance for withdrawal.
As the doors and windows closed, Gu Xi noticed the butcher-master, who was handling the Thunderbird’s feathers, retreating with the still unprocessed Thunderbird.
His actions clearly showed, the place was about to turn into a battlefield.
