The Devilish Immortal Chapter 358 - Auction Situation (Part One)

Chapter 358 Auction Situation (Part One)

“Those two men were clearly aiming for me. Their attack was ruthless, the magic treasures are awesome and they retreated instantly and resolutely. They have the quality of top killers. Do you remember any organization of that kind?” Lyu Liang asked Wen Xiaojing, frowning. “Isn’t it the Infernal Purgatory or the Skull Spirit Temple in the s.p.a.ce of G.o.ddess Nyu Wa again? But, it’s still not quite like them…”

“No, it’s not them, the style is quite different. Simply with the information at present, I can’t a.s.sociate them with any organization.” Wen Xiaojing shook her head. Then she said thoughtfully, “But, the a.s.sa.s.sination just now was apparently a planned one. Since they failed, they would do it again for sure. I hope we can find something then. Now I can say that they must be from the high-level world, as the fatty has a chaotic divine weapon that could be called the ultimate-grade treasure. Ah? Maybe… The Pan Gu Cave?” As she said that, she subconsciously froze.

“Pan Gu Cave? One of the three Divine Realms? Are you sure about it?” Lyu Liang was not that surprised, as the Buzhou Mountain was already known to the world, so he was not struck by the news.

“It’s hard to say. I was just making a guess. Pan Gu Cave always acts secretly and privately. They generally stay out of other people’s business, but once they take action, no one will survive. As far as I know, all their core members have weird features, like having ghost faces and long teeth, or have more than one head or more arms. As for the two who attacked you, there is no telling from their appearances, but they might be the peripheral personnel.” Wen Xiaojing shook her head again, but her tone was more certain, “With your power now, those who dare a.s.sa.s.sinate you in this middle-level world could only belong to the Divine Realm! Buzhou Mountain relies on the body of the first ancestor. Nyu Wa Sea has not been seen in the world for a long time. So, Pan Gu Cave is the last Divine Realm, and is most likely to do that.”

“Whatever. I don’t want to think about it now. We will just deal with them when they come to us again!” Lyu Liang nodded. Then he said curiously, “Well, I almost forgot about that man we saved. He seemed to have said something, while trying to block us.”

“Haha, nothing important. Just forget it.” Wen Xiaojing gave him a sly smile, and ended the topic.

“All right. But he should be a good man. When I was in the carriage, he tried to warn me about the danger.” Lyu Liang laughed. Then he pointed at the biggest pavilion in the front and said, “Let’s go there! There should be some good stuff in such a big shop. Besides, I also want to get some Primordial Stones in exchange for the objects on my body that are useless to me, as most of my Primordial Stones were given to the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang.”

Moments later, when they stepped into the big shop named “Treasures Pavilion”, their eyes immediately brightened at what they saw.

Countless images of cultivators were standing inside it, all of them looking very thrilled. Just look! They were images!

They were merely layer upon layer of images, but this did not affect them. This was obviously one kind of advanced s.p.a.ce skill!

“Different s.p.a.ce Image Folding Skill?!” Wen Xiaojing was unusually surprised at the scene.

“Good eyes, little Fairy!” At that time, another excited voice could be heard. Then a middle-aged fatty with a pot belly, walked slowly toward them. He looked intently at Wen Xiaojing, and said respectfully with cupped fists, “It’s been a long time since someone could recognize this skill! This little Fairy knows it… That’s perfect!”

“Well? What’s perfect?” Lyu Liang asked in interest.

“A large-scale auction is beginning in 15 minutes in this pavilion! The attenders here are either very powerful or have high social statuses! This little Fairy is able to recognize this ancient skill. That really means something! So, I’d like to invite you two to attend this auction. Many things in the pavilion are exclusively possessed by the Heavenly Alliance. We’re authorized to auction them off!” The fatty said sincerely.

Wen Xiaojing did not answer, instead, she looked at Lyu Liang inquiringly.Lyu Liang hesitated. He wanted to attend the auction, but his Primordial Stones… He had less than 100,000 mid-grade Primordial Stones. The others had been used up in the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang, when he was badly hurt two times in succession…Updates by vi p novel

But, right at this time, Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly became alert After looking stunned for a little while, he nodded and said in a resolute tone, “Please let us attend the auction, thank you very much!”

Wen Xiaojing and the fatty were surprised by this change. It was clear that he had been hesitating before, but all of a sudden, he made up his mind.

Lyu Liang himself knew that his change was due to overhearing someone’s words which drifted into his ears. He had faintly heard a person saying, “It’s said that the Eternal Heaven Fire will go under the hammer this time. It would be good if I can attend the auction!”

Eternal Heaven Fire?

Lyu Liang did not know why he immediately felt a strong sense of indescribable pain throughout his Divine Soul, when he heard that. A name was clinging to his mind, but no matter how hard he tried to remember, he just could not remember anything, except for the painful feeling of being torn apart.

“Okay! Then follow me, please!” The fatty immediately gestured with his hand.

“Thank you! Oh, by the way, what are the background of the attenders?” Wen Xiaojing smiled. She thanked the fatty, while pulling Lyu Liang, who was still in a daze, at the same time.

“Oh, they are all from powerful organizations. Some are from the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance, and there are also some people from Six Families. With their presence, this auction could be called the most splendid one in the middle-level world!” The fatty thumped his chest and said proudly.

“Six Families?” Lyu Liang finally came around, but appeared ignorant of the name.

“… Buddy, please tell me you are joking.” The fatty could not imagine that there would be someone who literally was not aware of who the Six Families were.Updates by vi p novel

“Please forgive him. My friend has been in closed door meditation for too long, so he is really unclear about that. Since the auction is about to start, please lead the way.” Wen Xiaojing smiled at the fatty, who instantly smiled back at her.

“You don’t have to ask your question out loud…” Wen Xiaojing said helplessly to Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul. “Six Families are the most prestigious and powerful families in the middle-level world, which are the Mu Family, Xie Family, Ning Family, Yan Family, Yu Family, and Li Family. They are inferior to the families in the Remote Antiquity in power, but in this world, they are still very influential. That’s all you have to know.”

Moments later, when they went all the way up to the tenth floor, there was no more seats available. The fatty said apologetically, while cupping his fists, “I’m really sorry. This little Fairy could have enjoyed a private room for her ability to recognize the Skill of s.p.a.ce Shift, but this auction is too well known, and this place starts filling up fast. Now, there are only some seats under the stage…”

“It’s okay! Thank you for your kindness in bringing us into here!” Lyu Liang did not care about that at all. He already felt lucky that he could attend. The seating was not that important.

Then the fatty also thanked them and left. Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing found a place that had fewer people around, and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

What he did not know was that, even though he sat at the side deliberately, some guests in a private room had already spotted him…

In a northeastern private room, even though the room was small, Fairy Purple Phoenix still could not stay calm and started becoming restless…

“Miss…” Xiao Rong had a headache and said, “He is so far away from you, and you behave like this. If you meet him in person… Miss! Stay calm! He has that girl beside him. No matter who she is, you are the most supreme person in this world!”

“Yes! You are right! I’m the master here!” Fairy Purple Phoenix was struck by her words at first, and then she looked more confident and said, with her eyes shining brightly, “He is here, so there should be something he wants to buy…”

“Miss! He is now in Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance, so you will see him sooner or later. The why not today?” Xiao Rong suggested deliberately.

“I know what to do! Then let’s see what he is after. I will help him get whatever he wants!” Fairy Purple Phoenix took her seat again. Clenching her fists, she said, “You’re right! I’m Fairy Purple Phoenix, the supreme leader here! Wen Xiaojing, although you are from the four influential families, you are here now… I’ll never give up Lyu Liang and let you have him!”

At that time, two young men were whispering to each other in a relatively remote private room in the northwest corner. One of them was called Mu Yi who had been held hostage by the a.s.sa.s.sins before. The other one was a short, fat man wearing a black embroidered robe.

“Brother Yi, were you referring to them?” The short, fat man said flatteringly, his eyes rolling over and over.

“What a small world! I have just been thinking about how to create a chance to meet them, but now, everything is easy! In my place… Haha, it’s all up to me!” Mu Yi was thrilled. He turned his head and said to the fat man, “Buddy, I’ll need your help this time. I don’t have much money with me…”

“We are brothers. There is no need to talk about that! I won’t let you down, Brother Yi. Not bragging, but no matter what you want to obtain here, I will pay for you, regardless of how much it is!” The eyes of the fat man brightened. He knew that it was time for him to put up a good show.

“Good! I’ll remember your kindness!” Mu Yi patted his shoulder. And then he seemed to suddenly realize something and said, “Oh, right. During the Families Meeting at the end of next month, we’ll discuss the ranking. My father has been thinking about bringing the rank of the Yan Family up. After all, we two families are so close!”

“… Thank you very much!” An expression of pleasure flashed by in the face of the fat man, and then he pointed at the two under the stage and said, “The auction will soon begin. I must let that girl who has attracted my brother’s attention know, that he is able to make her happy in her lifetime here!”

In the meantime, three people in black cloaks were sitting inside the western private room. The outline of a blue face and long teeth could be faintly seen, through one of the masks…

“Boss, they are also here! We are so lucky! Well, should we call our people together?” The man on the left side asked in a low voice.

“No hurry! Wait a minute.” The freak with long teeth said with a smile, “Have you felt it? Although it was short, there were private rooms, where the atmosphere aura fluctuated a little.”

“Isn’t this the best time that you said before, boss?” The one on the right side was also confused.

“We have to be patient. This is not a best place to take action. Those who distract Lyu Liang will not just create one chance to disturb him! What we have to do is to find the best chance!” The freak with long teeth said calmly. Then he said fiercely, “Tell our people in the other private rooms. No matter what happens here, they should not make any moves! The best time is when they’ve followed Lyu Liang out! Then, we’ll have a fight with him to death!”
