Throwing a stone to test the water

Heavenly Merchant City recently attracted everyone's attention because a large-scale auction was going to be held there.

This auction was jointly organized by Qingyun Pavilion and the Enforcers, and all the items for auction came from the Demon Abyss!

After this news spread, the entire Jing Tian Domain boiled over, and groups of people rushed to Heavenly Merchant City!

Eldress Saixifeng of Ten Thousand Serpent Hall arrived, her face gloomy. Half a month had passed, and there was still no news.

The yin yang mirror seemed to have completely lost its function, becoming nothing more than a decoration!

In a secret room on the top floor of Qingyun Pavilion, Eldress Saixifeng and an Elder sat opposite each other.

This Elder was from Qingyun Pavilion, named Zhang Yihhao, with a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Middle Stage cultivation.

The news of the Zhang Family's destruction naturally reached the Zhang Family in Jing Tian Domain, and Zhang Yihhao was sent by his Family! This was because the Zhang Family was also one of the shareholders behind Qingyun Pavilion!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this fellow suddenly disappeared. I wonder if he will show up at this auction?" Eldress Saixifeng asked angrily.

Zhang Yihhao's face was also as cold as frost, then he calmly said, "He killed so many people from my Zhang Family, how can I let him leave alive so easily!"

"This person bought items worth millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones from Qingyun Pavilion last time, which indicates he is very interested in things from the Demon Abyss!"

"I've gone all out this time; he will definitely come!"

"Your Ten Thousand Serpent Hall has three Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators, and I have two more here. Even if he is a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Peak, he won't be able to escape!"

"Moreover, I've had people personally guard the exit of the Jing Tian Domain to ensure he cannot leave!"

"This time, he must pay his blood debt with blood, otherwise, he'll truly think my Zhang Family is easy to bully!"

Eldress Saixifeng nodded upon hearing Zhang Yihhao's words.

After discussing some details, the two then parted ways.

Zhou Yuan was currently in Heavenly Merchant City. During this period, he took out the bronze ancient coffin daily and used the power of its rules to temper his Dao Restriction Spiritual Root.

He clearly felt that his Dao Restriction Spiritual Root was growing rapidly!

He had naturally heard about the auction in Heavenly Merchant City and was very interested.

However, he also learned that the Jing Tian Domain had never held an auction before; this was the first time!

Even if they did, it was usually a small-scale trade fair.

The reason for this was naturally that most of the good things from the Jing Tian Domain were sent to the Jing Tian Domain, with very few remaining here.

Moreover, items from the Demon Abyss were even more coveted by various forces in the Heavenly Domain.

To the top forces of the Jing Tian Domain, the Jing Tian Domain was nothing more than a treasure trove.

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Zhou Yuan's heart was solemn, and he vaguely had a guess!

During this time, he was immersed in the growth of his Dao Restriction Spiritual Root and didn't pay attention to outside matters at all.

He wondered if Chu Sui had already left the Jing Tian Domain.

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes. It seemed that Qingyun Pavilion was also involved in this matter!

He originally had a good impression of Qingyun Pavilion.

After all, he had obtained the bronze ancient coffin from Qingyun Pavilion, as well as a jade token and a drop of soul blood that might be related to Leng Qingxue!

But if they wanted to join forces against him, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless!

He could completely destroy the Six Great Families of Danyang City; a small Qingyun Pavilion was even less of a concern!

Zhou Yuan remained calm, then slowly walked towards Qingyun Pavilion.

He was not surprised that Qingyun Pavilion could become a chain, after all, the Enforcers were standing behind it!

As Zhou Yuan arrived at the entrance of Qingyun Pavilion, he saw an old woman walking out of Qingyun Pavilion.

A special pressure emanated from the old woman, causing Zhou Yuan's pupils to slightly contract.

"Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"

Zhou Yuan didn't know that this person was Eldress Saixifeng!

Eldress Saixifeng's gaze swept over the crowd, her brows slightly furrowed. She seemed to smell a familiar scent.

But she didn't sense any prompt from the yin yang mirror, so she ignored it and left directly!

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He had a premonition that this old woman's appearance here was related to him.

He had originally planned to go to Qingyun Pavilion, but now he changed his mind!

He was well aware of the terrifying power of Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, so he dared not follow too closely. After seeing the other party enter a small courtyard from a distance, Zhou Yuan turned and left.

A moment later, Zhou Yuan reappeared with a changed face and approached the small courtyard.

"Jiang Clan Pill Store!"

Looking at the plaque in front of him, Zhou Yuan frowned. Seeing people entering and exiting, he also slowly entered.

There weren't many customers inside, only three in total, and the old woman he had just seen was not there.

Zhou Yuan was originally unsure what force this was, but the moment he saw the shopkeeper, his heart was solemn.

This was someone from Ten Thousand Serpent Hall.

He had killed two people from Ten Thousand Serpent Hall previously and encountered a Disciple from Ten Thousand Serpent Hall, so he had some understanding of Ten Thousand Serpent Hall!

The aura of this shopkeeper was somewhat similar to the two he had killed, and their clothes were also the same.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan understood. That old woman must be a high-ranking member of Ten Thousand Serpent Hall!

"Interesting!"

In fact, if Zhou Yuan had just inquired outside, he would have known that Jiang Clan Pill Store was the Family industry of Jiang Zhibei, the Third Elder of Ten Thousand Serpent Hall.

These industries were protected by Ten Thousand Serpent Hall and only needed to pay a certain fee to Ten Thousand Serpent Hall annually!

After Eldress Saixifeng and others entered Heavenly Merchant City, they temporarily made this place their base.

Zhou Yuan slowly left. He decided to stir up trouble and see how many people from Ten Thousand Serpent Hall were in Heavenly Merchant City.

At the same time, he also wanted to see how many people the Enforcers had arranged here!

Zhou Yuan was already familiar with doing this kind of thing; he had mastered it in Danyang City!

To get to know the other party, he naturally needed to give a gift!

Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry; he was waiting for someone who could help him deliver the gift.

He waited for two hours, and then a Qingyun Pavilion attendant came out.

Zhou Yuan paid fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones to have the attendant help him deliver a box to Jiang Clan Pill Store.

The attendant was very cautious, but after feeling Zhou Yuan's Transformation God Realm Peak pressure, he finally succumbed for the sake of the fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Zhou Yuan's Divine Soul kept an eye on the attendant. After knowing that the box had been delivered to Jiang Clan Pill Store, he smiled and turned to leave!

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion echoed throughout the entire Jiang Clan Pill Store. Thunder and fire instantly engulfed the Jiang Clan Pill Store, making it the brightest spot in the night sky!

The sudden scene shocked the entire Heavenly Merchant City, and figures flew into the air one after another!

Inside the Jiang Clan Pill Store, dozens of figures ascended into the sky, some letting out shrill screams!

Three Celestial Phenomenon Realm auras rose, their faces ashen!

Eldress Saixifeng and Jiang Zhibei simultaneously slammed their palms downwards, and the rampant thunder and fire gradually extinguished!

But at this moment, Jiang Clan Pill Store had already been reduced to ruins!

On Qingyun Pavilion's side, two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts appeared, exuding terrifying pressure. They also looked at Jiang Clan Pill Store in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened!

And the attendant who had just delivered the box was directly scared, his face as pale as paper. He vaguely guessed that the box he had just delivered had a problem!
