Chapter 1113 Pressing the Realm
On the demonic beast pulling the prison cart sat a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment from the Black Market.
Surrounding them was a formation composed of cultivators at the True Foundation stage.
Seeing the restless gazes of the people around, the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator in charge was very pleased.
Bringing the person out this time was precisely to attract everyone's attention.
This auction was no ordinary event.
The more people, the better, ideally drawing out all those lurking in the shadows.
Just then, a figure suddenly blocked their path.
Upon seeing this, the leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator immediately whipped his lash. A mere fledgling at Foundation Establishment dared to block their way!
"Scram!"
Chen Yang ignored the other party and, using the Heavenly Movement Secret Art under his feet, had already reached the prison cart.
When the leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator realized this, he immediately shouted, "Form ranks! Someone is trying to hijack the prison cart!"
Instantly, the onlookers scattered.
The escort team for the prison cart immediately surrounded Chen Yang tightly.
The leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator couldn't understand why someone at the mere Foundation Establishment stage would dare to attempt a jailbreak!
Could there be someone in the shadows?
"Beware of sneak attacks!"
As this was said, the once confident team immediately became flustered.
The identity of the person imprisoned within the cart was unknown to others, but they, who had participated in the pursuit, knew.
The possibility of an operation within the Black Market was not impossible!
At this moment, even the Core Condensation Venerable guarding the Black Market was alerted.
"Can't a person have a moment of peace!"
When the Core Condensation Venerable guarding the Black Market saw only a young man standing before the prison cart, he was stunned. He scanned him repeatedly with his spiritual sense. Upon confirming it was only one person and that he was only at the True Foundation stage, he simply sat down cross-legged on a rooftop nearby.
At this moment, Chen Yang looked at the woman inside the prison cart and, suppressing a smile, said, "Not bad, not bad!"
These four people directly stunned the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator who had intended to act.
"Young Master! My young master! What are you doing?"
Seeing that neither side had attacked immediately, A'anda rushed out from the crowd and shouted at Chen Yang.
The prison cart guards immediately pointed their cold blades at A'anda.
"No, no, no, we're not here to hijack the cart!"
"It's just that our young master has always desired a human woman. Upon receiving the news, he rushed over without delay, all for this woman."
"Young Master, hurry and come down. If you don't, I won't be able to explain to Master!"
Chen Yang ignored A'anda and looked at the woman in the cart, asking, "What is your name?"
The woman looked at Chen Yang with a strange expression but did not speak.
A smile appeared on Chen Yang's face, and he took out a recovery pill and tossed it over. "Eat this, and you won't bleed anymore."
Seeing the woman not taking it, Chen Yang immediately took out an identical pill and swallowed it directly. "It's not poisoned."
The woman, though puzzled, took the pill and swallowed it. Upon seeing her injuries healing at a visible rate, she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
Chen Yang placed his cloak inside the cart, then turned to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator guarding the cart and said coldly, "How did she get injured?"
The Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator was truly taken aback to be questioned by a young man at the mere Foundation Establishment stage.
More importantly, his gaze instilled a sense of fear in him.
His cultivation level clearly surpassed Chen Yang's!
Yet, at this moment, he couldn't lift his saber. Instead, he subconsciously replied, "Injured during the pursuit. It was already difficult enough to capture her. Esteemed Young Master, if you are interested in her, you can visit our auction tonight."
Chen Yang remained silent, but he deeply imprinted the other party's appearance in his mind.
Chen Yang slowly walked past him, his imposing aura causing the surrounding guards to involuntarily make way.
Only after Chen Yang had passed A'anda did A'anda speak to the numerous guards, "Our young master has such a temper. Please forgive him."
After the two disappeared into the crowd, the leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator immediately felt cold sweat on his forehead.
"What are you all standing around for? Let's go!" The leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, having been suppressed by Chen Yang's aura, felt a loss of face.
But just then, a voice boomed in his ear: "Take the person back."
Hearing this voice, the leading Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator almost fell off the demonic beast. When he looked around, he immediately spotted a familiar figure.
He cupped his fist in greeting towards the other party and hastily led his team away from the street.
With the Lord of the Black Market speaking, he naturally dared not say another word.
Chen Yang returned to his room and took half an hour to stabilize his heart pulse.
If A'anda hadn't suddenly jumped out earlier, Chen Yang would have almost acted!
Facing a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator plus several others at the fourth or fifth level, a desperate fight might not have been entirely without a chance of victory.
However, after A'anda spoke and pulled him back, Chen Yang also realized that someone stronger was watching him.
Someone stronger than a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator would be at the Core Condensation stage.
If it were just a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, Chen Yang thought he could kill the other party by using all his trump cards.
But a Core Condensation stage cultivator… Chen Yang had no confidence.
"A remnant bloodline of the human race!"
Chen Yang closed his eyes, the face he had just seen replaying in his mind.
Just then, Chen Yang suddenly thought of something.
Chen Yang summoned A'anda to his room. "You mentioned Forgetfulness Stone just now? What is that?"
Seeing that the killing intent Chen Yang had upon returning was gone, A'anda breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forgetfulness Stone is a specialty of the Forgetfulness Sea Domain. It must be mined from the deep sea and is specifically used to confine Core Condensation stage cultivators."
"Its effect on Foundation Establishment stage cultivators is not that significant. Of course, the hardness of this stone is such that Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot break it."
"Mining Forgetfulness Stone is an extremely difficult task because one has to go into the deep sea. Without Core Condensation stage cultivation, it's impossible. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of Forgetfulness Stone, its output has always been very low."
Chen Yang's mind immediately began to ponder the feeling he had earlier. When his hand passed through the Forgetfulness Stone, Chen Yang did indeed feel a sense of pressure.
However, that thing did not seem to be suppressing spiritual energy, but rather attempting to suppress the bronze cauldron.
Of course, the bronze cauldron instantly repelled that pressure.
"It can only confine Core Condensation stage cultivators? What is the reason?"
Chen Yang's insistent questioning brought a wry smile to A'anda's face. "I'm not a Core Condensation stage cultivator myself, so I'm not entirely sure! The legend is that this stone directly suppresses the origin of spiritual energy in Core Condensation stage cultivators."
