18: Misty Rain Tower, Evil Infant!

"Your Highness, this is just one of Misty Rain Tower's halls."

"Misty Rain Tower has four large halls. The second hall is for auctions, and the third hall is the arena," Commander Luo said.

"Then let's go."

Chu Yun then followed Commander Luo to the other halls.

At the same time, in the distance, a girl dressed in a dance costume, who was dancing, showed a playful smile at the corner of her mouth after seeing Chu Yun.

The three of them, Chu Yun, entered the second hall.

They saw five auctions being held one after another. Looking around at the guest seats in each auction, there were at least several hundred people.

The items auctioned in the several auctions were also different.

Some auctioned Medicinal Pills and artifacts, various Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures.

Some specialized in Formation auctions and Spirit Beast auctions.

Some even auctioned intelligence, as well as slaves and dead soldiers.

These were all available.

"Auctioning intelligence, this is worth paying attention to."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

The three of them, Chu Yun, immediately walked over.

They sat directly in a nearby position.

To avoid revealing his identity, Commander Luo wore a mask before coming.

As for Chu Yun, although he was now the Ninth Prince.

But he had just returned today, and not many people had seen him, so he wasn't afraid of being recognized.

"In this auction, the third piece of intelligence!"

"What is being auctioned is the guard strength of the Ninth Princes Mansion of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Starting price, three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, each bid must not be less than fifty thousand."

Chu Yun: ???

As soon as Chu Yun sat down and heard this auctioned intelligence, he was dumbfounded.

Was he eating melon only to find it was his own?

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

However, the next moment, someone immediately bid.

It was a man sitting in the first row, also wearing a mask, whose identity could not be known.

"Damn!"

"Someone actually bought it!"

Chu Yun immediately became vigilant.

He wanted to see today who was so interested in him!

"Four hundred thousand."

"Four hundred and fifty thousand."

"Six hundred thousand."

"Seven hundred thousand."

......

"One million."

The development of the matter exceeded Chu Yun's imagination; at least nearly ten people participated in the bidding.

Finally, it was an old man in the very front, dressed in a plain gray robe with a wrinkled face, who won this intelligence for a price of one million Spirit Stones!

"Commander Luo, do you know who these people are?" Chu Yun asked cautiously via sound transmission.

"Your Highness, this old man who bought the intelligence is named Tang Xiang, a Shattered Realm Peak cultivator, and he is the Third Prince's Formation Master mentor, also a famous Formation Master."

"As for the others, except for the Masked Man at the very beginning, the others have too low cultivation, and I don't know any of them," Commander Luo said.

"Oh?!"

"You can recognize that Masked Man?!" Chu Yun was delighted.

"He likes to rub his thumb against his other fingers; this is a habitual action of his. Plus his voice, I can be completely sure of his identity."

"He is Teng Yin, a retainer of the Eighth Prince, a Shattered Realm Early Stage cultivator, specializing in the Dao of curses," Commander Luo said with certainty.

Chu Yun's heart secretly trembled as he listened to this.

After his intelligence was auctioned, these people left directly.

It was clear that they were all after his intelligence.

Chu Yun was not too surprised that the Third Prince was targeting him.

The Third Prince and the Crown Prince were biological brothers, both born of the Empress.

As for the Eighth Prince, he was born of a noble concubine.

It was indeed unexpected that he would send someone to bid on the security situation of his mansion.

But what Chu Yun found most incomprehensible was how incredibly resourceful this Misty Rain Tower was?

He had just returned on the first day, and the security of his mansion was already clear to others and directly put up for auction?!

"No!"

"Tomorrow, I will mention it to Imperial Father and ask him to send more people to me. If you have the guts, auction it again!"

Chu Yun's main goal was to prevent others from figuring him out.

Fortunately, the existence of Venerable Wan Lei was unknown to anyone.

With a Venerable Realm intelligence discrepancy, he could severely slap Misty Rain Tower's face in the future!

"Let's go, let's go to the arena to watch."

At this moment, Chu Yun got up and led the two towards the third hall.

The third hall was a huge circular arena stage.

Around it, there were Misty Rain Tower's Disciples guarding and multiple transaction counters.

There were dozens of arenas below, each with a Formation carved into it, which could channel the diffused power into the ground, ensuring it would not spread to the surroundings.

And there were many spectators in the arena, like watching cockfighting, cheering for their chosen contestants.

"What is this arena mainly for?" Chu Yun asked.

"Your Highness, there are two main ways to play in this arena."

"The first is beast fighting. The beasts here actually refer to the gladiators raised by Misty Rain Tower itself."

"Two gladiators engage in a duel. Whoever survives wins, and we can bet on them, with profits divided according to odds."

"As for the second way to play, it's to go up yourself and challenge gladiators of the same Realm or higher Realm than yourself to obtain rewards from Misty Rain Tower."

Commander Luo explained very clearly, and Chu Yun also generally understood the rules.

He slowly walked to a transaction counter and looked up at the reward descriptions above.

He read from top to bottom.

He found a very good reward.

A Nirvana Realm Peak-level Evil Infant!

The so-called Evil Infant is an evil consciousness body born from the collection of all evil Qi in the world, specializing in devouring the souls of living beings. It is ferocious and cruel, and cannot be marked with a soul Seal, only Sealed, thus uncontrollable.

However, although it cannot be controlled by a soul Seal.

But Chu Yun's Netherworld Divine Eyes can control all evil entities in the world, which naturally includes the Evil Infant.

In other words, as long as Chu Yun obtains it, he will be able to completely control it and make it one of his major killer trump cards!

"I must get this Evil Infant!"

Chu Yun glanced at the conditions above.

He needed to defeat a gladiator by crossing three minor Realms to meet the conditions for receiving the reward.

In other words, with Chu Yun's current cultivation, he needed to defeat a Golden Core Realm Peak-level gladiator to obtain that Evil Infant.

He thought for a moment, then directly took out a mask from his Storage Pouch and put it on his face.

Since he was going to show off, in the current situation where his enemies were known but he was not, it was best not to use his true identity yet.

To avoid exposing his sharpness too early and being recklessly killed, he would truly have nowhere to cry then.

After Chu Yun put on the mask, he walked up to a counter Elder: "I want to challenge a gladiator."

"Young Master, do you want to challenge a gladiator of the same Realm, or one with higher cultivation?" the Elder asked with a smile.

"Challenge a gladiator three minor Realms higher than me, Golden Core Realm Peak," Chu Yun replied calmly.
