123: Murder and robbery? A cultivator at the Void Realm blocks the way!

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Several ill-intentioned old monsters suffered damage to their Divine Sense and groaned, their eyes filled with deep dread and shock.

Peak of Refinement Void!

And his Qi and blood are like a Dragon!

This is a tough nut to crack!

Lu Yuan withdrew his pressure, obtained the Law crystal, and a cold sneer curled the corner of his lips.

"Want to rob me?"

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

With the final hammer strike at ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones, the clamor in the venue had subsided, but the undercurrents surging in the air became increasingly turbulent.

Inside the private boxes, the several Refining Void Great Powers did not retreat because of the Peak of Refinement Void pressure Lu Yuan had displayed.

On the contrary, that Seventh Transformation Space Law crystal completely ignited the long-suppressed fire of greed in their hearts.

For these old monsters who had been trapped at the Late-Stage Void Refinement and Peak of Refinement Void for many years, the Body Integration Stage was an insurmountable chasm.

Although this crystal contained the Law of Space, which might differ from the Dao they primarily cultivated, all Daos lead to the same destination. As the saying goes, stones from other hills can serve to polish the jade of this one. If they could comprehend the Seventh Transformation Law Profound Truth contained within, it was highly likely they could draw inferences and break through the shackles of their own Laws.

This was an Opportunity related to their Dao attainment, enough to make them stake their lives on it.

"Fellow Daoists, although this person is strong, he is by no means invincible."

Qianjizi's sinister Divine Sense transmission was the first to break the silence among the private boxes, precisely entering the Seas of Consciousness of the other four: "The Peak of Refinement Void is terrifying, but in the end, it is merely the Perfection of the Sixth Transformation Law. He has not truly stepped into the Seventh Transformation Body Integration Domain. As long as he has not entered the Body Integration Stage, he may not be able to withstand our joint efforts."

"Indeed."

Tian Lan Daoist Lord's voice followed closely, revealing bone-deep hatred and greed: "This person has immense financial resources and a mysterious background, but I see that his foundation is unstable; he may not have cultivated his way up step by step. We five are all Void Refining powerhouses, and each possesses unique skills. If we join forces to set a kill trap, even if he is a dragon crossing the river, he must coil up outside Huangtian City today!"

"This old man agrees."

Fire Virtue Daoist Lord of the Lihuo Immortal Sect licked his dry lips, firelight dancing in his eyes: "The True Fire Phoenix Feather was also obtained by this person; I am determined to get it. As for that Law crystal, since everyone wants it, let's make a gentleman's agreement."

"Kill him, seize the treasure."

Da Yan Daoist Lord of the Great Luo Sword Sect was concise, his Sword Intent contained but not released: "After success, the five of us will jointly hold the Seventh Transformation Law crystal, taking turns to comprehend it and share the Opportunity for eternal life. As for other wealth and the Materials for the Transcendent Spiritual Treasure, we shall distribute them according to need. How about it?"

"Good!"

Chi Xiao Daoist Lord of the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect, with lightning faintly appearing around his body, made the final decision.

In just a few breaths, a net of certain death targeting Lu Yuan was quietly woven through the Divine Sense exchanges of these few Righteous Path leaders.

In the face of huge temptation, the so-called backbone of the Righteous Path had long since vanished.

The auction ended.

Lu Yuan's expression remained normal, as if he had not noticed the faint killing intent all around him.

He brought Gu Qingxue, Xiao Yuechan, Su Yueli, and Fairy Lengyue, the four women, and walked out of the Four Seas Merchant Guild's gate calmly amidst countless gazes of awe and inquiry.

Although private fighting was forbidden in Huangtian City, the oppressive feeling of a storm about to break made the passing low-level Cultivators retreat one after another.

Lu Yuan did not linger in the city, nor did he use the teleportation array, but walked straight toward the city gate.

The moment his figure stepped out of the magnificent gate of Huangtian City.

In the crowd behind him, five obscure yet powerful auras instantly locked onto him.

Fire Virtue Daoist Lord, Tian Lan Daoist Lord, Da Yan Daoist Lord, Qianjizi, and Chi Xiao Daoist Lord, the five Refining Void Great Powers, exchanged glances, their figures simultaneously turning into streams of light and hiding within the Void Realm, following closely like maggots on a bone.

Outside Huangtian City, above the ten-thousand-mile sky.

A huge flying boat, carved with Dragons and Phoenixes and emitting a faint spiritual charm, was breaking through the clouds, moving as fast as lightning.

On the flying boat, the five women—Gu Qingxue, Lu Xueyao, Su Yueli, Fairy Lengyue, and Xiao Yuechan—stood to the left and right, surrounding Lu Yuan in the center.

"Husband, those people have followed us."

Gu Qingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her Divine Sense sweeping across behind them, her tone cold with a hint of killing intent: "Five Void Refining auras, not hiding at all. It seems they do not take us seriously."

Lu Yuan's expression was indifferent, his hands toying with the Seventh Transformation Space Law crystal he had just bought, a playful arc curling his lips.

"Men die for wealth, birds die for food."

"Since they want to seek death, then this Seat will fulfill them."

Before his voice faded.

"Hum!"

Waves of Void Refining pressure, vast as an abyss, swept in from all directions like a landslide or tsunami, instantly sealing off the heaven and earth for ten thousand miles.

"Boom!"

A huge phantom of a chessboard descended from the sky, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars.

On that chessboard, there were nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, each like an impassable chasm. Black and white chess pieces turned into countless gold-armored Puppets, arrayed in a grim formation, surrounding the flying boat.

It was exactly Qianjizi's Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure—the Heaven Net Chessboard!

Meanwhile, in the eastern sky, a river of Weak Water, black as ink, rolled in. Wherever it passed, the Void Realm was compressed until it creaked, as if even space itself was about to be crushed by this heavy flow of water.

A profound black flag fluttered in the wind, with ancient water patterns embroidered on its surface. It was the treasure of the Tianlan Immortal Sect—the Xuanyuan Water-Controlling Flag!

"Fellow Daoists, since you are here, why the rush to leave?"

A slightly mocking, old voice sounded.

Qianjizi was seen stepping on the Void Realm, holding a whisk, his figure appearing at a corner of the chessboard.

In other positions, Tian Lan Daoist Lord, Fire Virtue Daoist Lord, Da Yan Daoist Lord, and Chi Xiao Daoist Lord also appeared one after another. The five great Void Refining powerhouses formed an encirclement, their auras locking tightly onto Lu Yuan and the others on the flying boat.

Chi Xiao Daoist Lord wore a purple lightning robe, with lightning light swirling around his body.

He stepped forward and said with a seemingly amiable expression: "Fellow Daoist, it is said that an innocent man is guilty of the crime of possessing a jade ring. That Seventh Transformation Space Law crystal is the Dao Fruit of a Body Integration Stage Great Power. The Great Dao Laws contained within are too profound. With your cultivation, Fellow Daoist, I fear you cannot grasp it. Forcing comprehension will only lead to Qi Deviation."

"Our actions are also for your safety, Fellow Daoist."

"As long as you obediently hand over the Law crystal, we will not only let you pass, but we are also willing to form a good connection with you, Fellow Daoist. How about it?"

These words were spoken in such a high-sounding manner, with the face of someone saying, "I am doing this for your own good."

"Indeed."

Qianjizi also spoke sinisterly, his eyes staring greedily at Lu Yuan: "And that Mountain and River Formation Diagram. This object has a predestined affinity with my Thousand Mechanisms Sect. You might as well hand it over as well, Fellow Daoist, to avoid damaging our harmony."

Looking at this group of Immortal Sect Great Powers who were usually sanctimonious but now acted like robbers, Lu Yuan's expression was calm, and there was even a faint mockery hanging on the corner of his lips.
