Wang Yu
Chapter 149 The Grand Auction
The burly man's gaze fell upon the silver flames, and his face turned deathly pale. The other two also showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost, wishing they could escape immediately.
"Roar..."
Although the golden giant ape had many scorch marks all over its body, its huge eyes were filled with ferocity. Seven clusters of hazy starlight lit up in its chest and abdomen, and its giant fist suddenly raised, violently swinging towards the blood-bone giant.
A huge golden fist shadow inlaid with hazy white light roared out, carrying immense force, and heavily smashed onto the chest of the blood-bone giant.
"Boom!" A loud noise!
Countless blood-colored bones burst apart, turning into a rain of bone fragments, scattering in all directions.
The remaining half of the blood-bone giant swayed, finally collapsing powerlessly into the seawater, emitting bursts of white vapor, disappearing.
At the same time, the Shaoshan Three Fiends' human skin drum, white bone pipa, and dark green ancient chime also exploded, turning into three clusters of dazzling light, with visible ripples spreading out like turbulent waves, causing continuous booming sounds in the void wherever they passed.
Round after round of violent impact sent the three of them spitting blood and flying backwards for a hundred zhang.
On the other side, the giant ape also retracted its form, transforming back into human shape.
Han Li waved his hand, and the silver firebird, which had just made a great contribution, immediately flapped its wings and flew back, disappearing into his sleeve in a flash.
Through the connection of his spiritual sense, Han Li noticed that the refined flame firebird seemed a little excited after feasting on the blood flames, suggesting that it had also benefited greatly.
"Quick, go!"
In the void a hundred zhang away, Da Sha, who had just stabilized his figure, shouted urgently, and the other two immediately flew to his side with terrified expressions.
The three formed a strange hand seal with one hand, while their other arms simultaneously exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that enveloped them.
With a flash, the three of them, wrapped in the blood mist, transformed into a shocking blood rainbow and fled towards the horizon at an astonishing speed, almost a thousand miles in an instant.
Seeing this, Han Li's body crackled, and silver lightning instantly traveled throughout his body. Then, after a thunderclap, his entire person disappeared from the spot.
Over ten thousand miles away, the burly man and his two companions appeared, their faces as pale as paper, their eyes still filled with fear.
Just as the three were about to take some pills to catch their breath, they heard a thunderous roar overhead.
Under the wild flashes of silver electric arcs as thick as bowls, they intertwined and entangled in mid-air, forming a lightning array with a diameter of over ten zhang.
At the center of the thunder array, Han Li's figure stood suspended, his expression indifferent.
He reached out with one hand and fiercely grabbed the void in front of him.
The surrounding silver electric arcs that had not yet dissipated immediately contracted and condensed, transforming into a silver-shining thunderball in his palm, from which bursts of roaring sounds emanated.
Han Li simply flicked his wrist, and the thunderball in his hand fell away.
A deafening roar immediately resounded.
The burly man and his two companions felt a terrifying sense of oppression descending from the sky, and their souls flew out of their bodies.
At this moment, their vital energy was greatly damaged, and they had no power to escape. They could only rapidly form hand seals with one hand, their bodies flashing wildly, trying to summon all their protective treasures.
Boom!
A silver thunder pillar as thick as a water tank flashed down from the nine heavens, abruptly engulfing the three.
Accompanied by bursts of exploding roars and miserable cries, the Shaoshan Three Fiends were annihilated in this one Thunder Summoning Art!
Han Li glanced at the sea surface where the embers were falling, and then, with a burst of electric light around him, his figure disappeared from the spot.
……
About half a month later.
Blackwind City, inside the Jun Tian Hall of the Island Lord's Mansion.
A majestic man in brocade robes sat on a carved chair, nodding slightly as he looked at a man in green robes below the hall, his eyes revealing undisguised appreciation.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, it is thanks to you that my daughter Yuqing was able to return safely to Blackwind Island. I promised a generous reward earlier, just tell me what you want." The man said with a smile in a loud voice.
The man in green robes standing in the hall was naturally Han Li.
"Island Lord Lu, the reason I accepted this task is not for anything else, but I hope to obtain a spot so that I can smoothly leave the Blackwind Sea Area when the teleportation array is opened this time." Han Li replied calmly.
"Just that?" Lu Jun was stunned, asking in disbelief.
"Just that." Han Li confirmed.
"Yuqing has already told me about the process of you rescuing my daughter and escorting her back. To be honest, I also cherish talent and love talent, and I intend to keep you on my Blackwind Island, even to become one of the deputy island lords, there is nothing impossible." Lu Jun said after a slight contemplation.
"Thank you for the island lord's kindness, I have reasons why I must leave this place, so I can only decline the island lord's good intentions." Han Li said with a slight apology.
Lu Jun heard this, seeing that his expression did not seem false, he had no choice but to give up.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. You have already secured a spot for this teleportation. In addition, I also have some other gifts to give, I hope you don't refuse."
With that, he waved his palm, and a water-blue storage bag flew out, landing in front of Han Li.
Han Li did not refuse, reached out to take it, thanked him, and then took his leave.
After he left, Lu Yuqing, who had changed into a new dress, walked out of the back hall of the palace, came to Lu Jun's side, and showed a hint of disappointment on her face.
"Father, why didn't you try to keep Brother Liu? Don't you believe what I said earlier?" She said somewhat disappointed.
"On the contrary, I think this person's strength is probably even higher than what you said earlier." Lu Jun said with a solemn expression.
"If that's the case, then why did Father..."
Lu Yuqing was interrupted by Lu Jun waving his hand before she could finish speaking.
"Firstly, this person is not a thing of the pond and is unwilling to stay in our Blackwind Sea Area. Secondly, I don't completely trust him, and keeping him by my side may not be a good thing. Therefore, his departure may be the best choice."
"But..."
Lu Yuqing was about to say something when she heard Lu Jun suddenly say in a deep voice:
"Yuqing, the complexity of the situation facing our Blackwind Island now is beyond your imagination. Something has already happened to your elder brother. If it hadn't been for that Liu Shi rescuing him in time, do you know what serious consequences would have resulted?"
"I... I'm sorry, Father." Lu Yuqing heard this, and her expression suddenly darkened, becoming somewhat tearful, and she weakly admitted her mistake.
Lu Jun sighed, unable to bear to be harsh on her any longer, and embraced her in his arms, gently patting her shoulder.
On the other side, Han Li left the Island Lord's Mansion and went straight out of Blackwind City, flying towards Youyang Mountain.
After returning to the cave dwelling, he went straight through the main room and came to the back courtyard of the cave dwelling.
After opening several concealment formations, a small medicinal field appeared before his eyes.
In the very center of the medicinal field, a dark purple plant sapling grew alone. It looked no different from ordinary weeds by the roadside and was very ordinary.
However, in fact, this sapling was the young flower that Han Li had carefully cultivated with the Soulbirth Flower seeds he obtained from the Unfeeling Alliance before this trip.
The seedling emergence rate of this flower is extremely low. Although he obtained many seeds, he almost spent half of them before successfully cultivating such a plant.
Seeing that this flower was safe, Han Li was relieved, rearranged the concealment formation, and returned to the house.
He took out the storage bag he had previously obtained from the Blackwind Island Lord, did not rush to open it, but carefully probed it with his spiritual sense.
After confirming that there was nothing strange, he refined it and took out the items hidden inside.
The items in the storage bag were very simple. In addition to a black token the size of a palm, there was a small pile of top-grade spirit stones.
Han Li counted them, there were about two hundred, which was also a considerable amount of wealth.
He casually put them away, and then carefully examined the token.
He saw that the token was broken and heavy, covered with spiritual patterns. On one side was engraved with the words "Blackwind," and on the other side was engraved with the words "Teleportation."
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although this trip was quite tortuous, he finally achieved his goal.
Spring passed and winter came, and more than three years had passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the number of cultivators in Blackwind City, especially the high-level cultivators above the Body Integration stage, was increasing, and there were lanterns and decorations everywhere, as if to hold some kind of celebration.
The once-in-a-century Blackwind Island Auction Conference was about to be held, which was indeed a major event!
Each auction conference will have various extremely precious rare materials, high-level cultivation technique classics, top-quality elixirs, etc., and some treasures will only appear at this auction conference.
Almost all high-level cultivators in the Blackwind Sea Area will gather here, and even some enemy forces of Blackwind Island will suspend hostilities, sign a truce agreement, and send people to Blackwind Island to participate in this grand event.
Youyang Mountain peak, a secluded cave dwelling located on the edge of a cliff.
The closed door slowly opened, and Han Li walked out from inside. However, he did not show his true appearance at this moment, using the mask of the Unfeeling Alliance to transform into a black-faced, burly man.
From the cave dwelling on Youyang Mountain, one could also clearly see the extremely lively scene in Blackwind City at this moment.
Han Li smiled slightly, and he was also quite looking forward to this once-in-a-century grand auction.
Thinking like this, with a flash of his figure, he transformed into a green light and flew towards the city.
In the central area of Blackwind City, a magnificent golden palace floated in the air, motionless.
This palace was about a hundred zhang high, covered a large area, and was made entirely of golden jade, emitting a layer of golden shimmer, looking extremely beautiful and delicate.
On the plaque above the main entrance of the palace, the three large characters "Golden Cloud Pavilion" were written in a flamboyant style.
In addition to the main entrance, the hall also had an entrance in each of the other three directions.
Four huge golden steps extended from the palace, and from time to time, streams of light fell on them, walking into the Golden Cloud Pavilion.
This Golden Cloud Pavilion is the venue for the auction conference.
