"I'll take this Ancient Spatial Fruit."
The young man state arrogantly. As soon as he entered the herb shop, he stared at the Ancient Spatial Fruit on the shelf with disinterest as he spoke indifferently.
He then demanded the shop attendant as if other customers didn't even matter.
The other people in the shop had already retreated and made way for the young man.
The young man was well protected by several powerful cultivators who were at the Earth Immortal Realm. No one wanted to provoke him since he must be from some powerful force as he had such powerful cultivators at his beck and call.
"According to the rules of our store, we serve on a base of 'first come, first served', so the person who asks for the price first has the first priority to buy first."
The shop attendant informed him.
The shop attendant was a robotic puppet. It didn't care which background, connections, or backing an individual had or which sect they came from. It was incapable of flattering anyone and would only follow the specific procedures laid down.
The shop attendant then turned their attention to Austin since he was the first one to ask for the price.
"What is wrong with you?"
The arrogant young man looked down at Austin with a cold expression as if he and Austin knew each other and were mortal enemies. He looked like he was extremely disgusted to even share the same breathing space with Austin.
"You tiny ant, do you have a death wish and want to die right at this moment?
The rules don't matter anymore, now that Mr. Darby is here. Get out of our sight! You are not good enough to be in his presence."
A tall and thin old man in black gabbed. He was standing beside the young man the whole time and shouting impatiently at Austin as he turned and stared at him abruptly.
Untold anger suddenly rose in Austin's heart. He sneered and looked at the young man with contempt.
Suddenly, before he could react to their uncalled for insult, he had a strange feeling.
"What is happening?"
Austin was surprised. Situated in between his eyebrows, the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor suddenly twitched slightly, as if it had a strange reaction to the young man.
They seemed to recognize each other and had some kind of blood ties.
It seemed that the blood inside the young man's body was identical to the one that belonged to the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor.
Austin quickly made a few calculations in his mind and came to that conclusion.
'I see. The Tomber race of the Ghostdom!'
Austin suddenly realized.
'This young man has turned out to be a Tomber from the Ghostdom, ' he thought.
'It's strange. I seem to have a sense of familiarity about this little bug as if we know each other or we are related.
But he's clearly a human. There is no way he and I could be related. Is it an illusion or I'm I hallucinating?'
At the same time, the young man had been secretly observing Austin and curious about him. He looked at Austin a little longer than normal.
The Tomber race was a formidable force that belonged to the underworld.
Hence, Austin immediately felt disgusted at the man's identity when he realized where the young man came from.
"I'll take this Ancient Spatial Fruit,"
Austin looked at the attendant and said with a disdainful sneer.
"You are courting death!"
Seeing what Austin had done, the young man couldn't help but cast a cold glance at him. The earth immortals around him gave Austin a murderous look as they all suddenly erupted into a disorganized shouting march, telling Austin all manner of harsh words.
Austin's behavior had undoubtedly provoked them, since they had never encountered such a disrespectful young man!
"This is Mr. Darby from the Ghostdom. Tiny brat, are you really not afraid of death?"
One of the cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm stepped forward from the group. Instantly, Austin was suppressed by the surging energy that the cultivator was directing towards him.
The power from the pressure of the energy could only be produced by an earth immortal! Austin was astonished and he was forced to take a step back from the intensity of the energy.
'Oh, they are all from the Ghostdom. No wonder they are all so domineering!'
The onlookers around them were secretly fearful of the aftermath.
The Ghostdom was under the rule of the underworld.
However, it had always been said that the real strength of the Ghostdom was not weak as expected for them to be under the rule of the underworld. It was estimated that the Ghostdom was as strong as the underworld and they could actually compete at the same level.
Even the head of the underworld treated the leader of the Ghostdom as an equal as he would treat his brother, not like someone under his command.
Therefore, the Ghostdom was absolutely an extremely terrifying force and no one dared to provoke them.
"Hold it right there. Stop! Fighting is forbidden in our shop!" Suddenly, the shop attendant shouted.
His tone was very harsh. He stood in the middle of the two groups and tried to stop the fight.
The earth immortal was infuriated, but he merely gave Austin a stern look and stopped his attack.
He didn't dare to break the rules of the city as he pleased. If he did not abide by the established rules and provoked the previous huge puppet or the guardian of the city he would be in big trouble.
It was a well-known fact that the giant puppet a while back possessed the combat power of a heaven immortal!
