Chapter 106 Chong Xuzi
In an instant, the sword energy surged forth like a dragon emerging from the clouds, shattering the blocking blades with a whooshing sound.
With a loud bang, one side of the pavilion was shattered by the sword energy, revealing a terrifying hole.
Under the moonlight, dust rose, and everyone stared wide-eyed, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
Even Ye Kang and Xie Yuan looked at the private room in surprise, never expecting that the person would be so domineering.
Most importantly, he clearly did not actually draw his sword; the ancient longsword was simply held in his arms and never moved from beginning to end.
In other words, the sword energy he unleashed was so powerful simply by standing up.
powerful!
Absolutely strong!
For a moment, no one dared to utter a sound. The Golden-Robed Ancestor and Duan Hong merely narrowed their eyes, watching the man with great vigilance.
The Taoist priest revealed himself expressionlessly, the moonlight shining on his long, flowing hair, reflecting a delicate silver glow.
Ye Kang also looked over.
I originally thought the Taoist priest was quite old, but he turned out to be a young man, probably around twenty-five or thirty years old.
His appearance cannot be described as ordinary; rather, it is so handsome that anyone who sees him cannot help but gasp in amazement.
However, he was different from the two disciples of the Crimson Demon that Ye Kang had met before. Those two were bewitchingly beautiful, more like women, while this Taoist was purely handsome.
With a commanding presence, striking eyebrows and bright eyes, as if born with natural talent, these idioms probably best describe such a person.
As he appeared, the bewildered people below finally realized who he was.
Chongtian Temple, Chongxuzi.
No one knew where Chongtian Temple was; it was just that this person always referred to himself that way, and that's how he gradually became known.
After a long silence, the "good-natured" Master Huyan hurriedly spoke with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Chongxuzi, why get angry? Brother Jinpao and Brother Duan were just joking. Let's continue, let's continue."
However, Chongxuzi didn't even look at him; his gaze shot through the large hole in the wall, reaching straight to the full moon outside.
"Why put on an act? You're all secretly plotting to kill me. Why not just take action?"
He spoke casually, his tone completely indifferent, as if it were none of his business.
The faces of the people in the audience changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Oh no! A fight is about to break out!"
"Run! If these people start fighting, we'll all die!"
In an instant, everyone's excitement from the auction vanished, and they all rushed out.
Some people haven't even had a chance to redeem the items they just won, but they don't care anymore. They can tell whether the item is more important or their lives are more important.
In the blink of an eye, the auction house was empty. Those who were not strong enough left, only daring to look at the market from afar.
At that moment, two Vajra Judge's Pens, one black and one white, suddenly reached in from outside the gate.
Yan Ruitu walked in, and beside him was a white-clad man who looked exactly like him, indistinguishable from him. Without a doubt, this was the eldest of the Yan brothers, Judge Bai, Yan Ruisheng.
Both men grinned maliciously, their eyes fixed on Ye Kang's private room.
The crowd immediately fell into an awkward standoff.
Knowing this would happen, Ye Kang wasn't nervous anymore. He watched them with interest, wondering what they would do.
Xie Yuan, on the other hand, had a somber expression.
This time, I've really been ruined by my little grandson.
He's so old. He should have been living a leisurely life guarding the warehouse in Jinling City, but he insisted on getting involved in this mess. Now he probably can't escape even if he wants to.
At this moment, the Golden-Robed Ancestor's hearty laughter rang out again.
"As expected of Chongxuzi, a great swordsman feared by all in the martial world. Since you knew of our plan all along, why did you still come here?"
Chongxuzi glanced down and said indifferently, "Just an interest. The duty of Chongtian Temple is to collect martial arts manuals from all over the world. Since there are genuine manuals here, then we've come."
Everyone present was taken aback.
I thought he would say something like "sword cultivators are not afraid of battle," but I didn't expect his reason to be so simple.
Master Huyan shook his head and smiled wryly, then tossed the martial arts manual in his hand upwards, directly into Chongxuzi's hands.
He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, this manual will naturally be given to you, fellow Daoist. However, given today's scheme, you have no chance of escaping. I apologize in advance."
Master Huyan raised his head, his gentle demeanor completely transformed, revealing a ruthless side instead.
At the same time, the other three black-clad officials in charge of the auction also came out.
The Grand Canal Market was founded by four seventh-rank innate experts, and now they are naturally working together on their plans.
This startled even Ye Kang.
Including Xie Yuan, there were actually eight seventh-grade innate experts in this small pavilion!
He himself fully unleashed his physical body, which was equivalent to a seventh-grade combat power. In addition, the Yan brothers also had a seventh-grade power when they worked together.
That makes a full ten digits!
That's terrifying. If this kind of fighting force were to come, even the Azure Scale Guard would probably have to send reinforcements first.
However, the battle did not begin immediately; both the Golden-Robed Ancestor and Master Huyan looked directly at Xie Yuan.
"Brother Xie, we never expected you to come today. What, are you interested in joining us to kill this top genius who came down the mountain for training?"
The old man in the golden robe smiled and spoke, seemingly trying to win Xie Yuan over.
The latter remained silent for a moment.
Don't tell me you didn't expect this, even I didn't expect it!
Instead of enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival, they came here to watch a big show!
He gave Ye Kang a resentful look, then said, "Gentlemen, hold your fire. Why don't you let me know why you want to attack this Taoist priest?"
The old patriarch in golden robes curled his lips and said, "I never make excuses. If I say I'm going to kill or set fire, then I mean it. Today's plan was to kill and steal the treasure. This Taoist priest comes from a reclusive sect. According to the old rules, if a member of a reclusive sect dies while traveling down the mountain, it means that he did not master his skills. His sect cannot retaliate!"
At this point, everyone's faces hardened, and their eyes gleamed with intense greed.
"Xie Yuan, don't tell me you don't know. Aren't you tempted by the martial arts, elixirs, and other secrets of martial arts from hidden sects?"
“That’s right! Putting all that aside, just look at the sword in his hand—it’s a weapon of unparalleled skill!” a man in black chimed in.
Xie Yuan ignored them and only looked at Master Huyan.
The latter could only manage a wry smile.
“Brother Xie, I am getting old and my lifespan is coming to an end. If I can’t break through now, all my hard work in this life will have been in vain. This is my only chance, and I dare not let it go.”
Not only him, but the other two silent men in black also had the same expression.
They didn't want to kill Chongxuzi, but they had no choice.
As for Chongxuzi, the person involved, he simply listened to them talk silently, neither interfering nor running away.
Ye Kang, on the other hand, was watching the show with a buzzing in his head.
Good guy!
These few words contain so much information!
I can't digest this anymore!
