215: Killing the Great Elder Kihara
Auction Hall.
Sanlei Old Freak explained, “Everyone, there’s no need to worry.
This is a traitor from the Senmu Clan.
She is being hunted by the Senmu Clan, so even if you kill her, there will be no repercussions.
Furthermore, our Nirvana City also captured a remnant clan in the wilderness and sold them to the Yang Shen Great Sect ChangSheng Medicine Sect as medicinal slaves. They should currently be on their way north.
This girl has the most outstanding talent and comes from the Green Wood lineage within the Senmu Clan.
Using her essence blood to irrigate spiritual plants, even heavenly spiritual treasures like the ancient Phoenix wood and verdant mountain Dragon scale branches will show remarkable effects.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people exclaimed in surprise.
The ancient Phoenix wood and verdant mountain Dragon scale branches that Sanlei Old Freak had just mentioned were all top-tier rare treasures in the world, coveted even by Yang Spirit Realm Saint Ancestors.
The difficulty of cultivating and growing such rare treasures was far greater than that of the demonic spirit flower.
Immediately, Gu Changsheng felt his heart settle.
Seeing that the momentum was right, Sanlei Old Freak no longer delayed and shouted, “The starting bid is five million High Grade demonic crystals, with each increment no less than one hundred thousand!”
“Five million five hundred thousand demonic crystals!”
“Six million demonic crystals!”
“Six hundred...”
...Gu Changsheng watched the Profound Light Mirror, unmoving, and took a sip of tea.
“Oh, Daoist Li seems interested?”
Peach Blossom Fairy smiled.
“Hmm, not bad...”
Gu Changsheng nodded slightly.
Even if he didn't say anything, the two of them could guess his intention to cultivate the demonic spirit flower.
He simply admitted it.
As soon as he spoke, it couldn't help but make the two of them secretly surprised.
The previous bid for the Saha Qi True Understanding cost twelve million High Grade demonic crystals, which was already comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary Late Stage Profound Cave Cultivator.
He still had the capacity to compete for the final, most important item.
One must know that, judging by this trend, the final transaction price would likely also exceed ten million.
A moment later, the price exceeded eight million demonic crystals, and those who were following the bids were all dissuaded.
Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed throughout the hall.
“Ten million.”
Everyone looked towards the private room in unison.
“It's Earth Character Room Thirteen again...”
“This person just bought that Saha Qi True Understanding for over ten million, and he still has such wealth.”
“Hehe, this person’s cultivation should not be at the Late Stage Profound Cave...”
A cold laugh came from many private rooms.
Nirvana City forbids fighting, but outside the city, it might not be the same.
After several more bids, the price quickly exceeded thirteen million.
Even a few Late Stage Profound Cave Great Saints who were interested in bidding also chose to give up.
However, several icy gazes shot over, clearly a warning.
Gu Changsheng’s expression was as calm as water, as if a gentle breeze was blowing across his face.
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from Earth Character Room Seven: “Fourteen million, hehe, little friend, you are quite wealthy, aren't you...”
A deep voice spread throughout the hall.
“This is... Elder Mu Yuan of the Ancient Wood Clan...”
“A Peak Late Stage Profound Cave Great Cultivator, he's actually here too!”
“It seems this girl’s talent is probably extraordinary, otherwise it wouldn't attract his covetousness...”
In the hall, Sanlei Old Freak’s eyes revealed a hint of anger.
Within Nirvana City, no one would dare to act presumptuously.
But Elder Mu Yuan obviously found a loophole, quietly revealing his identity, with a hint of threat in his words.
If the buyer backed down, it would be Nirvana City’s reputation that was damaged.
“Fifteen million!”
A resounding bid came from Earth Character Room Thirteen.
Only a cold snort was heard from Elder Mu Yuan in the Void Realm, and he did not speak again until the gavel fell three times.
“Haha, in that case, fifteen million High Grade demonic crystals.
This item belongs to the distinguished guest in Earth Character Room Thirteen.”
The auction ended, but many people did not leave immediately, quietly waiting.
Earth Character Room Thirteen.
“Oh dear, why does my stomach suddenly hurt? The wine I drank just now didn’t taste right, it must have gone bad... Daoist Li, I, Alcoholic Hero, will take my leave first.”
Alcoholic Hero smiled apologetically and turned to leave the private room.
The moment he turned his face away, his expression darkened, and he sneered inwardly.
‘A mere Human Race Cultivator, coming to my Sacred Realm, yet unwilling to change his race, and so ostentatious... courting death!’
“Daoist Li... you shouldn't have offended so many Late Stage Profound Cave Great Cultivators, especially that Elder Mu Yuan... Alas...”
Peach Blossom Fairy looked helpless, offered a word of advice, and also quickly left.
A few breaths later, only Gu Changsheng remained in the private room.
His face was calm, without the slightest ripple.
If the friendship isn't deep enough, facing the malice of a Late Stage Profound Cave Great Saint is not something everyone can endure.
It was quite normal.
A moment later, the door opened.
It was Sanlei Old Freak who had come in person.
He spread his palm, and a shrunken fine iron cage floated in his hand, with the girl in the cage looking terrified.
“Fellow Daoist, I am San Lei.
If things are not peaceful these days, you can stay in my Nirvana City for a few years... Those with ill intentions will naturally retreat.”
Sanlei Old Freak suggested.
“Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist.
I, Li, will consider it.
Furthermore, fifteen million High Grade demonic crystals is a considerable amount, and I, Li, cannot produce it all at once.
May I use some Spirit Treasures and spiritual materials to offset the cost?”
“Naturally, you can.”
Sanlei Old Freak agreed.
He had already taken out twelve million High Grade demonic crystals, which even a Late Stage Profound Cave Great Cultivator couldn't withstand.
Using physical objects as collateral was perfectly normal.
A moment later, the transaction was completed, and Gu Changsheng excused himself, transforming into a streak of flowing flame and leaving.
Sanlei Old Freak looked at Gu Changsheng’s departing back and sighed softly: “This person, I wonder how long he can live...”
Outside the city, a five-colored escape light rose under Gu Changsheng’s feet, and his speed suddenly surged.
“Not good! This kid is trying to escape!”
“Such a fast escape technique!”
“Chase him!”
A moment later, the figures of several Great Saints appeared in the Void Realm, their faces showing expressions of exasperation.
“Damn it, he still got away!”
“This child is quite wealthy, I wonder who he is...”
“Forget it, forget it.”
A desolate wilderness.
Gu Changsheng stopped, looking at the horizon: “Finally, I’ve shaken off these hyenas...”
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot.
Bang—
The ground where he had just been exploded, and a huge handprint fell, forming a massive palm-shaped pit.
In the dust, a figure appeared.
Dressed in a green robe, with green hair and beard, his entire body exuded a rich vitality.
It was Elder Mu Yuan.
His eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, “Little beast, hand over Gong Lin, otherwise... die!”
‘Gong Lin, is that the girl’s name... It seems they had contact early on, but Nirvana City got there first...’ Gu Changsheng gave an awkward smile, guessing how the other party had tracked him.
‘Did he leave a special tracking mark on that girl... I need to deal with this person quickly...’
Whoosh—
Gu Changsheng’s body merged into the Void Realm, immediately startling Mu Yuan.
He couldn't detect the other party’s aura.
A wild laugh descended from the Void Realm.
“I’ve long heard that the Ancient Wood Clan’s Body Refining is powerful. Today, I shall test Your Excellency’s strength!”
“Arrogant!”
Mu Yuan cursed angrily, and countless demonic patterns surged from his body, transforming him into a towering giant. His hair, beard, and tree roots writhed like mad snakes, resembling a colossal tree demon.
Bang!
A Profound Yellow mountain descended, piercing through the tree heart like Mount Tai pressing down.
Accompanied by a scream, a bronze-colored sharp claw swept across the Void Realm, and a head-sized verdant tree heart had already fallen into his palm.
“You...”
The tree demon dissipated like a phantom, and Mu Yuan’s body reformed, with a bowl-sized hole in his chest, from which Origin Qi was frantically leaking.
His face filled with terror, he turned to flee.
However, the terrifying mountain descended again.
This time, it showed no mercy, directly crushing him into dust.
Mu Yuan... fallen!
Gu Changsheng put away the tree heart, released the girl, and his purple eyes swept over her body. Sure enough, he found a special leaf-shaped mark on her spine.
“Nirvana City is truly careless in its work...”
With a wave of his large hand, the leaf-shaped mark vanished instantly.
“It’s not enough... there’s also this girl’s clan...”
“There are many paths to the ChangSheng Medicine Sect. However... they all have to pass through... White Cloud City...”
Gu Changsheng looked north.
