Chapter 40: The Enemy Meets
Yuan Hong stood ten feet away from Xiao Heng. He was wearing a hat, black clothes, and a black cloak. He was more than seven feet tall, with a gloomy face and staring at Xiao Heng upright.
Next to him was a genius disciple from Tiangang Sect, his junior brother named Huang Dayan, who also stared at Xiao Heng with a murderous intent.
The two of them were staring at Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng was also staring at them. There seemed to be lightning attacks between them, and the smell of gunpowder was filled with the air.
Huang Dayan was about to draw out his long sword, but Yuan Hong stopped him and said coldly: "You can't do anything in Dancheng. You should wait until the Black Soul True Lord comes before making plans."
"The news came from the sect that it was this waste who killed the True Lord of the Yellow River." Huang Dayan said murderously, but inserted the half-pulled sword back into the scabbard. In Dancheng, they did not dare to do anything randomly, especially because they witnessed everything just now and knew that Xiao Heng and Mei Bubai from the Southern Region had a friendship.
Yuan Hong glanced at Xiao Heng and said indifferently: "Your life is so tough."
"Of course my life is hard, I won't die until you die."
Xiao Heng's words were so cold that he wanted to kill Yuan Hong with his own hands, but Yuan Hong is now the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and can fly with energy. There is also a Huang Dayan next to him staring at him. Moreover, he is now in Dancheng, so he cannot do whatever he wants.
I can only hold it back for the time being.
"Let you live a few more days. The day you leave Dancheng is the time for you to die." Yuan Hong snorted coldly, turned around and left, but before he could take two steps, he turned around and said in a mysterious way: "By the way, do you want to know why I knew your route last time and could ambush you accurately?"
After hearing this, Xiao Heng was shocked and his face was covered in frost. "What do you mean is someone informing you? The disciples of the Five Elements Sect? Are disciples of the Five Elements Sect accomplices?"
"Hmph..." Yuan Hong snorted coldly, turned around and left with Huang Dayan. "You are not a fool, you think about it yourself."
"What does he mean?" Xiao Heng clenched his fists and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that my dantian was broken because the disciples of the Five Elements Sect informed Yuan Hong? Or was it that Yuan Hong wanted to stimulate himself and deliberately talk nonsense?
Xiao Heng was full of doubts, walked around Dancheng, then went back to the inn, locked himself in the room all day, never coming out again.
He always felt that when he was walking on the street, there were a few pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, but when he turned around, there were no suspicious characters, which made him feel a sense of badness.
The next day, when the auction was about to begin, Fatty Fang came out of nowhere, and his face was full of excitement, "I received the news that the final treasure of the auction this time was the Nine Turns Life-Extension Pill, and my grandfather was here too. Our Fang family is determined to win the Nine Turns Life-Extension Pill."
"Nine-turn Life-renewing Pill?" Xiao Hengda was shocked. The Nine-turn Life-renewing Pill can be called an immortal pill. If a cultivator eats it, he can extend his life for a hundred years.
The Nine-Turn Life-Suppressing Pill may not have much effect on young cultivators, but for those old antiques, especially those whose life span is about to end and have not yet reached the stage of passing the disaster, the Nine-Turn Life-Suppressing Pill can allow them to live for another hundred years. In this hundred years, they may be able to survive the heavenly tribulation, ascend in the sun, and become real immortals.
Moreover, the Nine-Turn Life-Suppressing Pill is very difficult to refine and requires a lot of rare materials. Even the ancient alchemy sect like the Alchemy Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not necessarily possible to refine a Nine-Turn Life-Suppressing Pill within decades.
"Let's go, don't miss this grand event." Fatty Fang gave Xiao Heng a ghost mask and rushed out of Xiao Heng in a hurry. "Wear the mask, even if we took pictures of the treasure, people don't know who we are. If the treasure is taken, it will be safe in Dancheng, but if you leave Dancheng, it will be unsafe."
"Indeed, it's safe to wear a mask." Xiao Heng put on a mask. This mask was made of special materials, and even a master at the peak of the Sea could not see through it. Then, he used the power of Jin Shu to hide the fact that the Dantian was broken.
The Dan Sect auction is thirty feet away from the inn, and is separated by two streets. The auction covers a wide area, with two floors. The first floor is to entertain ordinary practitioners, and the second floor is to enjoy VIP rooms, which is a place to entertain six major forces or big figures.
Xiao Heng and Fatty Fang entered the auction. There were thousands of people on the first floor alone, but it was very quiet. Everyone sat upright in their seats, waiting for the auction to begin.
"Let's sit here." Xiao Heng and Fatty Fang sat in the corner, then looked around and found that the people on the first floor were either wearing masks or using the technique of changing faces to change their true appearance.
It is obvious that these people are afraid that after auctioning the treasure, they will be targeted by others, and they will show their talents as safe.
"The Black Soul True Lord of Tiangang Sect is here!" Someone exclaimed.
Xiao Heng looked at the gate of the auction and saw the Black Soul True Lord walking into the auction with a few disciples of the Tiangang Sect.
The people on the first floor of the auction all hid their true appearance. However, the Black Soul True Lord came in swaggeringly. It seemed that he was not afraid of being targeted by people from other forces after taking the treasure. He was confident and full of confidence.
The Black Soul True Lord glanced around, with a pair of pure black eyes, like two cosmic black holes, with inexplicable magic. Wherever his eyes passed, it was creepy.
When the Black Soul True Lord's eyes swept to Xiao Heng, he paused and stared at Xiao Heng straight. Xiao Heng's heart thumped, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, the Black Soul True Lord's eyes only stayed for a while, and soon looked away and took the disciples of Tiangang Sect to the VIP room on the second floor, reassuring Xiao Heng.
"I said, has he seen through our true identity?" Xiao Heng asked Fatty Fang, still feeling scared.
"I probably won't see through..." Fatty Fang's answer was full of uncertainty.
At this time, another old man brought a few young people into the auction, which aroused a lot of discussion.
"The elder of the escort of the Killing Sect, Chen Dasheng, is here in person!"
"The young man behind Chen Dasheng is Nie Tianxing, the number one person in the outer sect of the Killing Sect? It is said that he has never been defeated among the younger generation."
"I am worthy of being a member of the Killing Taoist Sect. I majored in the Killing Taoist Way, and I have such a strong murderous aura."
Xiao Heng looked at the auction gate. The people were full of murderous aura, as if they were going to fight. Especially the old man in the lead was very scary, with deep wrinkles on his face, deep eyes, and a necklace made of bones hanging on his neck.
There was a genius disciple behind the old man, which immediately aroused Xiao Heng's idea. It was not because this man had a hatred with Xiao Heng, but because his temperament was very sharp, as if he had a fairy sword unsheathed, and he felt uncomfortable when he looked at it.
They did not wear masks, nor did they change their faces. They showed their true faces, which is enough to prove that they have a profound foundation and are worthy of being one of the six major forces.
After the people from the Killing Sect went up to the second floor, another group of people came, which triggered discussions among the crowd again.
This group of people are all women, they are all masters of the Yueling Sect.
The person in charge looked about thirty years old and was one of the five guardians of the Yueling Sect. She was known as the Lingxuan Fairy. She was wearing a big red robe, a phoenix hairpin, and a willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes. She had a plump figure and attractive charm. Many people just looked at her and couldn't bear to look away, as if she was fascinated.
"The five gates and one sect, Tianyang Gate, Five Elements Gate, Tiangang Gate, Nether Gate, Killing Door Gate, Yueling Sect, and Dongtu Sixth Major Forces have all arrived. It's a grand event once a hundred years."
"The six major forces seem to be coming for the Nine Turns of Life-Extension Pill."
"I don't know who will fall into the hands of the Nine-Turn Life-Extension Pill."
"With six major forces here, we have no chance. Even if we have the opportunity to take the Nine-Turn Life-Extension Pill, we may not be able to bring out the Dan City."
...
Everyone was talking.
"Are the people from Tianyang Gate and the Five Elements Sect also coming? It seems that they came earlier than me. I wonder who came from the Five Elements Sect." Xiao Heng thought to himself and looked at the second floor. Unfortunately, there was a screen on the second floor, blocking his sight.
At this time, an old man in black walked in through the auction gate. He was covered in white hair, skinny and bony, only one meter or two tall, but a flash of splendor flashed in his eyes. He looked so weird that he couldn't help but attract people.
"Isn't this the old immortal Fang monster of the Fang family? It is said that he only has ten years of life. Do you want to compete with the six major forces for the Nine-Turn Life-Extension Pill?"
"It is said that he failed to survive the tribulation, but he was not destroyed. He is worthy of being the old monster Fang."
"The Fang family has fallen, so it depends on the old monster Fang to support it. If the old monster Fang leaves, the Fang family will inevitably collapse."
Fatty Fang listened to the discussion, smiled and whispered to Xiao Heng: "That's my grandfather."
"Your grandpa? You don't look like it no matter how you look like it. Old Monster Fang is like a dead tree, as if a gust of wind can blow away, but you are as fat as a pig, without any similarity." Xiao Heng smiled.
Fatty Fang still smiled, "Fatty, I have a broad heart, of course I will be fat."
Xiao Heng rolled his eyes directly, and this fat man really boasted.
At this time, the leader of the Dan Cult came out from the right door to the auction table, took a wooden hammer, and knocked the auction table, and the people below immediately calmed down. The leader of the Dan Cult personally hosted the auction, which shows how much the Dan Cult attached to this century-old grand event.
"The auspicious time has come, and the auction event once a century has begun now."
The leader of the Dan Sect even spared the opening remarks and went straight to the point.
As soon as he waved his hand, someone immediately put a rectangular wooden box on the auction table.
"The first treasure to be auctioned is the immortal bundle rope, which is a low-grade mysterious weapon. Although it is a low-grade mysterious weapon, if a cultivator in the realm of Transformation of Spirits is tied up, there is no possibility of breaking free. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones. Each increase of the price must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones."
After the leader of the Dan Sect finished speaking, he hit the auction table with a hammer.
"The immortal binding rope is of great use to me, I want it." Fatty Fang stood up excitedly and spoke first: "I will give out ten thousand spirit stones."
"I will give out 15,000 spirit stones!" Ye Wuhen's proud voice came out of the VIP room on the second floor.
