For martial artists at a lower level, the Ten Absolute Islands are practically a dead end!

Anyone below the True Essence Realm who stays here for more than a year will experience a decline in strength or even dissipation of their cultivation due to constantly breathing in poisonous gas.

Only those who reach the True Essence Realm or higher can avoid being harmed by toxins.

And the night breeze goes without saying.

As a Human Immortal in the Returning to Emptiness Realm, the poisonous gas here had no effect on him at all.

"Run!"

The leading official urged them again.

Night Breeze smiled and strode away, entering a renowned city on Ten Absolutes Island—Crane King City.

The white moon was also released from Biyou Palace by the night wind.

Once they arrived at Ten Absolutes Island, they were already outside the sphere of influence of the Taiyin Sect. Here, there were naturally fewer restrictions, and Bai Yue could come out and breathe some fresh air.

"This is the Ten Absolutes Island? It looks like a pretty good place. How come people call it a prison island?" Bai Yue asked.

"Not everyone on this island is a prisoner, nor are they all disciples exiled from various sects. Exiled martial artists actually make up only a small portion. Most people come here to try their luck and make a living," Ye Feng explained with a smile.

"Why?" Bai Yue asked curiously.

"Because Ten Absolutes Island has very rich mineral deposits, these deposits, after being mined and smelted, become metals for refining various spiritual weapons. Moreover, Ten Absolutes Island is full of rare and precious natural materials. It is common for someone to accidentally pick up a valuable material for refining weapons and become rich overnight, changing their destiny in an instant."

"Over time, more and more people came here to try their luck, and the proportion of prisoners on the island became very small."

Only after hearing Ye Feng's explanation of turning back did Bai Yue finally understand.

But then she asked, "Then why don't the major sects just send people over to divide up the island's metal mines?"

"Because those mineral deposits are all poisonous. During the mining and smelting process, a lot of poisonous gas is produced. Didn't you notice that the entire Ten Absolutes Island is shrouded in poisonous gas?" Ye Feng said.

Bai Yue inhaled a large breath of poisonous gas, then shook her head and said, "I don't feel any discomfort!"

"Because you're not human, you're a demon beast, and you're already a peak seventh-grade demon beast," Ye Feng said irritably.

Bai Yue is a member of the dragon race, and in a broader sense, dragons are also a type of demon beast.

The physique of demonic beasts is countless times stronger than that of the weak human body.

“Although you are not afraid of poisonous gas, you still need to be careful when eating here, lest you ingest too much food containing impurities, causing toxins to accumulate in your body, which will be detrimental to your future cultivation,” Ye Feng said seriously.

"I understand, I understand," Bai Yue nodded repeatedly.

Crane King City was very prosperous, with bustling crowds in the streets and alleys.

The night breeze and the white moon wandered aimlessly around, glancing at their surroundings.

On both sides of the main street were various shops, with restaurants and inns being the most numerous.

Moreover, in many places, there are still many vendors setting up stalls and hawking their wares.

The items on those stalls were a mess, including demon beast cores, demon beast teeth, nails, bones, and some broken spiritual artifacts.

It seems that you need a good eye to find good stuff at these street stalls.

"Brother, what's that? It looks so beautiful!"

Bai Yue laughed and ran towards a street stall.

As Ye Feng walked over, he saw Bai Yue squatting in front of the stall, picking up a necklace from the stall to admire it.

This necklace is made up of sparkling beads, which look very gorgeous.

Ye Feng immediately recognized that this was not a simple ornament, but a magical artifact.

Although it wasn't a high-grade spiritual weapon, only a fifth-grade one, and it was even damaged, its appearance was indeed very eye-catching and attractive to a woman like Bai Yue.

So Ye Feng looked at the martial arts stall owner with a stubble-covered face and gloomy eyes and asked, "How much for this spiritual artifact? Name your price."

"Three hundred low-grade spirit stones," the stall owner replied.

So cheap?

Night Breeze paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.

This magical artifact is of low grade and was already damaged. If it were given to the Taiyin Sect, no one would treat it as a treasure; they would probably just consider it trash.

Moreover, this is the Ten Absolutes Island. Although there are quite a few martial artists on the island, most of them are not at a high level.

For them, the amount of spirit stones they have on hand is certainly not very large, so naturally no one would spend money to buy a broken and useless spirit artifact.

Just as Ye Feng was about to buy the magical artifact with a wave of his hand, a burly man walked over from a distance with two henchmen.

The burly man was holding an iron chain in his hand. As he walked, the chain crackled and flickered, covered with streaks of blue and white electricity.

"Kid, the Five Lakes Alliance is recruiting. From now on, you'll be following me."

"I'm doing you a favor by taking you in, you better not push your luck, or I'll break your arms and legs and sell you to the rabbit hutch in the south of the city..."

As the burly man uttered these arrogant and boastful words, his two henchmen behind him burst into laughter.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng pointed directly at him.

The burly man exploded before he could even scream, turning into a pile of blood and flesh. His two henchmen turned pale with fright and knelt on the ground, trembling, kowtowing to Ye Feng.

"roll!"

The night wind coldly rebuked.

The two guys turned and ran, not daring to linger for even a moment.

Ye Feng glanced at the two soldiers in the distance, but the two soldiers had no interest in such trivial matters. They simply glanced at Ye Feng and then looked away.

This is a mess.

Is it possible for someone to kill someone in the street and no one will care?

It seems that Ten Absolutes Island is truly a chaotic place.

Inland areas, this would not be the case at all. Each city would be governed by either the local government, a local sect, or the city lord.

Under normal circumstances, no martial artist would kill someone in the street, otherwise it would bring them considerable trouble.

Even if they were to actually take action, they would do so using rather covert methods.

Ye Feng had just openly and brazenly killed that burly man, partly because the man had offended him, and partly because he wanted to see the environment, or rather, the rules, on Ten Absolutes Island.

It seems that this Ten Absolutes Island is truly a lawless place, where human life is probably less valuable than a dog's life, since dog meat is edible.

Ye Feng took out spirit stones and bought the broken spiritual artifact for Bai Yue, planning to study it properly after finding a place to settle down.

Then, Ye Feng and Bai Yue continued walking forward.

Along the way, Bai Yue skipped and hopped around like a little girl, looking at everything she saw.
