Wang Yu
Chapter 618: The Phantom Thief
These people were naturally those who had been pointed out by the burly man, mostly those who had participated in the auction of the Myriad Soul Grass before. For some reason, the blue-robed man who had sold the animal bones for 350,000 Immortal Essence Stones was also among them, his face ashen.
In addition, the purple-robed cultivator behind the black-robed youth was not named, but he also did not leave.
In the crowd watching from a distance of more than ten miles, Han Li's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this scene.
"Go up."
The red-haired man didn't look at these people again. With a wave of his hand, a white jade flying boat appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground.
Above the flying boat, there was a scarlet light cage, spinning around, with scarlet electric arcs dancing on it, which looked frightening.
In the crowd in the distance, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in Han Li's eyes.
He had felt that this red-haired man looked somewhat familiar before. After careful observation, he found that the outline of his facial features was faintly similar to that of Gongshu Jiu, and there was probably some kind of blood relationship between the two.
"Humph! You Surveillance Immortals are too overbearing! We are here to participate in the Yu Kun Tower auction. I don't know anything about the Reverse Palace rebels. If you want to catch people, go catch them. I'm sorry, but I won't accompany you." Among the dozen or so people, a blue-robed, brawny old man snorted coldly, and his peak Golden Immortal late-stage aura was no longer concealed.
A strange cold air suddenly erupted, sweeping towards the surroundings, causing the nearby void to condense, rippling with layers of visible blue ripples, as if to directly freeze it.
The red magic circle's light dimmed under the sweep of this blue ripple.
The brawny old man shouted loudly, and the blue light on his body shone again, transforming into circles of blue wave-like light with the power of extreme cold laws, making the area around him a hazy blue.
With a muffled "bang," the old man broke free from the confinement of the red magic circle and soared into the sky.
This scene happened in a flash. The onlookers only felt a flash of blue light before the old man displayed his Law Domain and escaped.
"Did I let you go?"
As soon as the red-haired man's voice fell, a violent baleful aura, as if materialized, soared from his body. The Fire Flood Dragon Giant Sword in his hand shone brightly, and he slashed out into the void.
A burst of explosive roar burst from the void above the brawny old man's head, and a huge Fire Flood Dragon phantom flashed out.
A terrifying scorching force mixed with a rolling fierce aura erupted from the huge Fire Flood Dragon's body, pouncing down on the brawny old man, and an extremely hot law fluctuation instantly locked onto the old man.
The blue spiritual domain space within a dozen feet around the brawny old man suddenly trembled, and although his figure was fast, the Fire Flood Dragon phantom followed closely, and its speed was even faster.
In desperation, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and spat.
A dazzling blue light shot out, which was a blue short spear Immortal Artifact. After shining brightly, it turned into a blue shocking rainbow and struck the Fire Flood Dragon phantom.
The Fire Flood Dragon phantom opened its mouth wide, and a ball of crimson flames spewed out, and immediately grew rapidly, turning into a cloud of fire the size of a house.
With a loud "rumble," the cloud of fire and the blue shocking rainbow collided and immediately exploded.
The crimson cloud of fire surged again, engulfing the blue short spear, and then immediately rolled back and shot towards the brawny old man at an extremely fast speed.
"Rumble!"
The brawny old man was submerged in a dazzling red light, and an angry scream came from inside.
The Fire Flood Dragon phantom in mid-air shot down and disappeared into the dazzling red light in a flash.
An explosion came from the red light, and the scream stopped abruptly.
The red light in the sky flickered a few times, and then quickly dissipated, but the brawny old man completely disappeared, as if he had never existed.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people gasped.
"Don't make me say it a second time," the red-haired man said coldly.
These people trembled slightly. Where would they dare to say anything more? They quickly boarded the emerald flying boat and stepped into the scarlet light cage.
The crowd in the distance saw the previous fight and was in an uproar, their faces showing shock.
Han Li narrowed his eyes. The strength of this red-haired man was obviously beyond his expectations. However, his gaze then turned to the other two people.
It was precisely the thin black-robed youth and the purple-robed cultivator beside him. The two of them did not board the flying boat with the others.
A cold light flashed in the red-haired man's eyes as he looked at the two of them.
"I'm sorry, although I'm very interested in all kinds of flying treasures, I especially don't like sitting in a prison carriage." The black-robed youth was watched by the red-haired man, but there was no trace of tension on his face, and he smiled indifferently.
The red-haired man and the bamboo pole man looked at each other. Then, with a flash of their figures, the bamboo pole man appeared out of thin air behind the black-robed youth.
"You were the one who bid for the Myriad Soul Grass, Reverse Palace, Hu San," the red-haired man said slowly.
"Hu San, are you talking about me? I think you've mistaken me. But this name is pretty good. I like it," the black-robed youth spread his hands and said with a grin.
"Hu San, or rather 'Silver Fox,' began to infiltrate the Heavenly Harmony Immortal Palace ten thousand years ago to steal secret treasures. Almost every few hundred years, he will commit a major case in a certain Immortal Territory. This time, we finally lured you out. If you know what's good for you, surrender immediately. If you hand over that secret treasure from back then, I can give you a quick death!" As the red-haired man spoke, the firelight on his body slowly brightened.
A more enormous scorching aura erupted like a volcano, and the nearby ground instantly turned black and cracked open.
The terrifying high temperature came head-on, and the crowd in the distance hurriedly retreated a distance.
"The Rogue Silver Fox, it's him," Immortal Jingyang exclaimed softly, muttering to himself.
A trace of surprise also flashed across Han Li's face. He had indeed seen the name "Silver Fox" on the Execution Immortal Platform in the city before. According to the Execution Immortal Platform, this person was from the Reverse Palace and specialized in stealing all kinds of precious treasures, mostly related to the Immortal Palaces of various Immortal Territories. Moreover, he would release the news before taking action, but he had never failed. The cases he had committed could be described as countless.
No wonder he had been so generous before. Obviously, he was not spending his own money, so he didn't feel bad at all.
"The Heavenly Harmony Immortal Palace's secret treasure was stolen? Oh, I seem to have heard about this somewhere. At that time, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Harmony Immortal Palace, Situ Bowen, found a Profound Heavenly Spiritual Treasure and planned to dedicate it to the Heavenly Court and hold a grand celebration, gathering many Golden Immortals, and even several Surveillance Immortals sent by the Heavenly Court were present. As a result, the treasure was stolen the day before the celebration... Tsk tsk, what a pity. How embarrassing must have been that Palace Master and those Surveillance Immortals. But what are you looking for me for? This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't tell me you plan to just grab someone to take the blame?" The black-robed youth smiled and said.
Being stolen a treasure of great importance under the eyes of so many Grand Unity True Immortals and Golden Immortals was originally a great humiliation to the Heavenly Court. As a result, this youth vividly described it in public, which naturally caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd. Although everyone did not dare to say anything due to the presence of the Surveillance Immortals, there were still people in the crowd who occasionally let out a snicker.
A vein flashed on the red-haired man's forehead, and the killing intent in his eyes was great, but he did not act immediately.
"Today, no matter how eloquent you are, you won't be able to leave this Gathering Kun City!" The bamboo pole man's face turned cold, and he said word by word.
The red-haired man sneered and stepped forward.
The bamboo pole man also stepped forward at the same time, approaching the black-robed youth and the purple-robed man.
Two enormous auras emanated from the red-haired man and the bamboo pole man, intertwined, and pressed down towards the front.
"It's really troublesome. Why do some people always come to harass me every once in a while? I just want to live a few days of leisure. Why is it so difficult?" The black-robed youth sighed helplessly.
As soon as the sigh fell, this person's figure suddenly twisted, turning into a twisted silver thread, disappearing from the spot out of thin air. The surrounding restriction magic circle seemed to have no effect on him at all.
The purple-robed cultivator stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, ignoring the surrounding events, as if everything that was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"Want to run? Don't even think about it!"
The red-haired man shouted angrily, and the firelight on his body shone again, rapidly spreading around, instantly forming a scarlet spiritual domain thousands of feet in size, covering several nearby buildings and most of the auction venue.
Within the scarlet spiritual domain, countless materialized flames rolled. Within the spiritual domain, except for the Yu Kun Tower, other buildings quickly melted, turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing without a trace.
Han Li and the others watching from afar retreated a distance again. Fortunately, they were already standing far away and were not swept into the scarlet spiritual domain.
But then, a trace of surprise appeared in the red-haired man's eyes.
After the black-robed youth disappeared, he seemed to have completely lost his trace. Whether it was the spiritual domain or divine sense, he could not sense it at all, as if he had evaporated from the world.
At the moment when the black-robed youth's figure disappeared, the bamboo pole man also immediately raised his hand and made a hand seal.
A green light shot out from his hand and disappeared into the void.
The next moment, a huge hazy green light curtain covering tens of miles in size emerged, centered on the auction venue.
The light curtain was hemispherical, and countless tornado-like green shadows rolled on it, making a rumbling noise.
Traces of spatial fluctuations emanated from within the green light curtain. Obviously, it was attached with a spatial restriction to prevent the black-robed youth from escaping with time-space teleportation techniques.
In order to capture Silver Fox, the two had obviously made all preparations.
After doing this, the bamboo pole man also looked around, sensing the trace of the black-robed youth.
"Huh!" He suddenly let out a soft cry.
He saw that within the red-haired man's flame spiritual domain, the purple-robed cultivator was still standing with his hands behind his back, and he was not using his power to protect himself. However, as soon as the surrounding scarlet flames approached within three feet of his body, they were immediately bounced away by an invisible force.
"This is..." The bamboo pole man's eyes narrowed, and he was about to find a way to investigate.
At that moment, a loud shout came, and the red-haired man's figure spun around, and the giant sword in his hand slashed out swiftly behind him.
With a crisp "clang," the Fire Flood Dragon Giant Sword blocked a silver sword light.
This silver sword light was extremely thin and as thin as cicada's wings, emitting an extremely dim light, in which one could faintly see silver runes flashing.
The red-haired man sneered, and the flames on the giant sword flourished, erupting with an astonishing aura.
With a crisp "clang," the black sword light broke in response.
But at that moment, the void behind the red-haired man fluctuated slightly, and two silver sword lights exactly the same as one appeared out of thin air, stabbing towards the man's back heart with extreme speed.
