Chapter 950 – The Great Auction
”Second Uncle don’t worry, this auction has been arranged seamlessly, all the cultivators who bid for it are unremarkable loose cultivators that we have long bought off. These cultivators are not related to our Ye family from the surface, and once the auction is over, these people will be silenced immediately, and will never leak a bit of information. How is the Emperor’s side coping with the situation? How did the Tai Yi Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly send two old monsters, Xuan Qing and Seven Myriads, to the palace, they wouldn’t have heard anything, right?” The beautiful woman said hesitantly.
The crowned old man sniffed and similarly revealed a worried expression.
”You guys can rest assured, big brother has already probed their intention to come, it’s to rush that Flat Mountain Seal of the Three Emperors. Now this seal is about to be refined, three views will be the various components to complete the final fusion, these two families also have many eyes and ears, just from the little bit of wind that we deliberately reveal, already vaguely know that we are refining what treasure. Therefore, this time, is to our Ye family pressure, asked to sell this treasure to their two. This is good, with this bait in the open, my real plan will not be noticed by them. However, just in case, all know the plan of the elders recently go out to be accompanied, do not be careless, by these two old monster’s backstabbing, was forced to probe the divine sense would be bad. Especially this time the Heavenly Demon Sect came the Seven Wonderful Real People, is good at all kinds of secret spells, even if the YuanYing level cultivator accidentally suffered a backstabbing, will not be able to involuntarily spit out everything.” The square-faced middle-aged man’s facial muscles jumped, and gruffly urged.
”I see, that’s reassuring. But the Flat Mountain Seal is also something we’ve worked so hard to refine, so we’re just going to give it to these two families on the cheap?” The crowned old man said with great regret.
”Cheap to them? How could it be! If only one family came to our door, we might not be able to carry the pressure and could only hold our noses and admit it, but now since it’s two families coming together, naturally there’s room to fish in troubled waters. Big brother already has an arrangement, the Ping Shan Seal, even if it can’t stay in his hands, will never fall so easily into the hands of these two families to capitalize on the enemy.” The square-faced middle-aged man revealed a hint of a sneering cold smile and said.
The crowned old man beauty looked at each other and couldn’t help but be confused, but they also had the good sense not to ask any further questions.
So the three of them chatted for a little while longer before parting ways and leaving to act individually.
……
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Grand Auction.
During this period, despite the Yin Luo Sect looking around for Han Li’s whereabouts, the places they searched for were only other markets, inns, and some of the places where cultivators gathered near the Jinjing, Han Li was so focused on cultivating the Snow Crystal Ball in the Taoist temple that he didn’t go out once, so naturally he found nothing.
Early this morning, Han Li changed his appearance, transformed into a black-faced man, and transformed the bamboo tube behind his back into a long sword, so he drifted away from the Taoist temple and headed straight for the Jinxi workshop city. Along the way, he restrained his Qi and collected his breath to reduce his cultivation to the JieDan stage realm so as not to attract too much attention.
The result was the same as he expected, the closer he got to Jinxi City, the more high-ranking cultivator auras he sensed. Among them, the JieDan stage was the main one, but there were quite a few YuanYing stage cultivators, and as for the lower-ranked cultivators, they were few and far between.
It seems that a little bit of family cultivators, are unwilling to let go of this big auction.
When Han Li passed through the ban, once he walked into the market, he immediately found that the entire street was filled with cultivators dressed in various colors, including many people in strange clothing.
However, with a sweep of his eyes, he found several gloomy-faced black-robed cultivators at the entrance, who were constantly scanning the people entering the marketplace, and one of the men was the Ge Tianhao. However, the Heavenly Mission Holy Maiden did not appear here for some reason.
Han Li frowned in his heart, but on the surface he pretended not to know and walked in the direction of the hall, not even looking at these Yin Luo Sect cultivators. But as soon as he lifted his leg and walked out two steps, a divine sense immediately swept over, turned around and left without any results, running towards another JieDan stage cultivator who had just appeared.
Yin Luo Sect this kind of divine sense scanning into the market cultivators move, but not every cultivator into the market have this treatment, only those who are unfamiliar with the face, at first glance is a loose cultivator or identity suspicious cultivators have this encounter, those who belong to the other sects and factions of the high-ranking cultivators, these people do not pay attention to it at all.
They have this kind of divine sense sweeping hidden move on those JieDan stage cultivators okay, the other side can not find this move naturally will not have any reaction, but a few YuanYing level of loose cultivators, a into the marketplace on the encounter this matter, naturally the heart of the great anger, coldly glared at a few of these YinLuoZong cultivators.
The good thing is that these people of the Yin Luo Sect also have no intention of stirring up any trouble, after the divine sense sweeps, there are no other follow-up actions, although these high-level casual cultivators even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they won’t really provoke the Yin Luo Sect this kind of demonic dao sect for this reason, and can only be the same as Han Li, not happy to leave.
”Elder Ge, I’ve heard that that person is proficient in the art of disguise and illusion, I’m afraid it’s simply useless for us to guard here like this.” A newly-appeared triangular-eyed Yin Li old man could not help but feel dissatisfied in his heart as he saw that he had been getting nowhere.
”I told a few senior brothers to do this, originally I just wanted to scare the snakes, I didn’t even want to use this method to immediately find out this person. This person’s divine power is not small, we do not have any good way to recognize this person’s real body, but this kind of imposing to find him, maybe he is panicked in his heart, and may also reveal what horse’s footsteps to. Even if this person is able to keep his composure and not reveal the slightest flaw, you guys don’t have to worry about anything. Suddenly people and the sky devil sect also have some friendship, Lin Taoist friend has gone to borrow from the sky devil sect’s seven wonderful Taoist friend, now is in the residence to concentrate on cultivation, as long as two or three days later will be able to drive freely. I can now find out this person is the best, can not be found, can also let this person lose their vigilance. Once we get to the last day or two of the auction, under the broken form power of this mirror, there will be nowhere for that person to hide, and we can take this person down swiftly.” Ge Tianhao glanced at the gloomy old man and said indifferently.
”So that’s how it is. I told you that with Elder Ge’s ability to calculate everything within the sect, how could he possibly do such a useless thing. If that was the case, it wouldn’t even be necessary for the Patriarch and the others to arrive, the few of us could have taken down this person and made a great achievement for the clan.” The triangular-eyed old man’s eyes lit up as he said with some excitement.
”Let’s hope so.” Ge Tianhao gave a dry smile and looked in the direction of the Treasure Light Hall.
The guy he had to deal with this time, no matter how you look at it, was a ruthless character, even the clan’s original YuanYing mid-stage top level fourth elder could be killed by this person’s hand, how could it be so easy to get a hold of him? There are any accidents are not rare, or more careful point of good.
Ge Tianhao this kind of silent thought, the face does not feel gloomy down.
……
At this time, Han Li was already standing in front of the huge stone hall he had seen that day. At this moment, this light hall was completely shrouded by a layer of five-colored light curtain within it, appearing mysterious and unusual.
To Han Li’s dismay, there was actually another single-story hall made of white stone in the sky above the Treasure Light Hall. Although the area was slightly smaller, only one-third of the stone hall below, it was also hundreds of feet wide, and was definitely a behemoth-like existence when parked in the air.
In front of Han Li, a yellow-shirted attendant of the Foundation Establishment stage was respectfully explaining something to Han Li. At this point in time, Han Li was no longer concealing his YuanYing stage aura, and although this cultivator responsible for hospitality at the auction was looking at Han Li with some carelessness, he did not dare to show his impatience in the slightest.
In front of the hall, there were other cultivators dressed in the same way, similarly entertaining some YuanYing level high-ranking cultivators. As for the JieDan stage cultivators, they could only honestly walk to a stone tablet in front of the hall’s door and look at what was written on it by themselves.
”The YuanYing level auction has been changed to the Nine Heavenly Hall above, while the JieDan stage is still held in the Treasure Light Hall. In addition the YuanYing level auction one person has to pay a thousand spirit stones, and the JieDan stage auction one person has to pay a hundred spirit stones to enter, I’m not wrong, am I?” After a long time, Han Li withdrew his gaze, swept a glance at the attendant in front of him, and said indifferently.
”Senior Mingjian, that is indeed the case. This time around, the number of cultivators attending the auction was even three more than previous years, so we had to urgently borrow this Nine Heavenly Hall from the Heavenly Pavilion for a temporary use. In addition to the payment of these spirit stones is also the same provisions as in previous years, mainly to prevent overcrowding at the auction, had to come out of this means to control the number of people at the auction. However, with the status of the seniors such as seniors, these spirit stones will not naturally look in the eye. Otherwise if anyone could enter the hall at will, the venue would be ten times larger and would simply not be able to accommodate it.” This yellow-shirted cultivator said with a compensatory smile.
”One thousand spirit stones? You guys are really good at raking in spirit stones. But like you said, as long as I can get something I’m satisfied with, I naturally won’t care about this amount of spirit stones. I naturally won’t be interested in the JieDan stage auction, I want to participate in the YuanYing level auction.” Han Li raised his hand, and ten medium grade spirit stones were thrown into the yellow-shirted cultivator’s arms.
”Senior, please enter, the YuanYing level auction will begin in the morning, this is the auction’s license plate, for the YuanYing level auctions in the days to come, senior can always participate by holding this plate.” The yellow-shirted cultivator’s face smiled even more once he got the spirit stone, and pulled out a jade tag with a number from his sleeve, handing it to to Han Li.
As soon as Han Li reached out and received the jade card, without saying a word, his body flashed with green light, and he transformed into a rainbow and ran directly into the air to the main hall.
At this time, there have long been other cultivators who first harnessed the recluse to fly into the air.
When Han Li flew into the door of the Palace of the Nine Heavens, only to see the doorway in addition to a layer of pale white light curtain, but also empty.
His eyebrows moved, to the hands of the jade card slightly injected some spiritual power and rushed to the light curtain shook a few times, immediately from the jade card shot out a red light, where the light curtain separated on its own.
Han Li do not want to think of the body shape of a shake, the person will once again become a green rainbow shot into, and then the light curtain immediately close as before.
So two hours later, before and after there are hundreds of YuanYing level cultivators one after another flew into the mid-air Nine Heavenly Hall.
And after three loud bells chimed, the Grand Auction began.
