Chapter 1860: The Killing Begins
The man quickly added, "Ancestor, the others have been secretly watching them too."
"Okay, we will go too."
Ancestor Burning Flame took a deep breath, made a decision, and turned to leave the quiet room.
Almost at the same time, in some of the other elegant rooms of the auction house, some important figures received the news one after another.
"Elder, do you want to stop them?"
"Master, the man and woman look strange and their origins are unknown."
"Uncle, many people have set their sights on the man and woman this time. Should we follow them?"
...In the end, the bigwigs in these elegant rooms came to a similar decision at the same time.
"Follow them, find out their backgrounds, and act according to the situation!"
In the auction hall, the atmosphere was still noisy and lively. Most of the cultivators did not notice that with the departure of Lin Xun and Jintian Xuanyue, a turbulent torrent in the dark was also set off!
On the auction table, Pu Lanzhi sighed in her heart when she heard the news. This sort of thing is going to happen again. I just hope that the two of them can leave safely.
After calming down, Pu Lanzhi stopped thinking about it and said, "Next, the 36th treasure is up for auction..."
Outside Donglai Treasure Pavilion.
As soon as he walked out, Lin Xun instantly realized that in the nearby area there were many people observing him in secret.
At the same time, not far behind him, there were also cultivators following his steps.
"Young Master, it seems that many people are eyeing us this time,” Jintian Xuanyue whispered, and there was a subtle flash of murderous intent in her eyes.
Although she was a cultivator attendant now, she was still a peerless genius who was ranked 49th on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings!
Even among her peers in the Great Primordial Chaos World, it could be said that she was at the top echelon.
"Well, let's go."
Lin Xun remained calm and walked towards the distant city gate with his hands behind his back.
Along the way, he and Jintian Xuanyue did not move at full speed, as if they were unaware of the people who were secretly following them.
"Report this to the head of the family, Yu Xuan and his female companion have walked out of the Donglai Treasure Pavilion and are walking towards the city gate, as if they are about to leave!"
As soon as the news was transmitted back by a member of the Xing Clan, it was sent immediately to the head of the Xing Family, Xing Liushui.
"Young Master, do you want to take action now?" Xing Liushui hurriedly asked Kong Yu.
"Don’t be stupid! Let's go!" Kong Yu stood up and strode out. Behind him, a group of powerful experts from the Imperial Kong Clan and the Primordial Dao Court followed.
He had been waiting for several days and did not have the patience to wait any longer.
Xing Liushui did not dare to slack off and summoned the elders and powerful experts from the clan to act alongside them.
For a while, the undercurrents in Lin'an City were surging and it was obvious that a storm was coming!
Underground Black Market.
The figure of the old dwarf man appeared out of thin air in front of the black palace. He bowed his head and said respectfully, "Miss, I just received news that Yu Xuan and his female companion are about to leave Lin'an City."
"Oh?" A unique feminine voice came from the black palace.
"According to the news from Listening Wind Pavilion, Yu Xuan is going to leave now, and he may encounter great danger. The forces known on the surface include Kong Yu, the disciple of Primordial Dao Court, and a group of high-level figures including Xing Liushui, the head of the Xing Clan."
The old dwarf continued quickly, "In addition, some powerful experts from major forces in Qing State are also secretly eyeing Yu Xuan and his companion."
"I can understand why Xing Liushui is cooperating with Kong Yu, but why are those experts from Qing State taking interest?"
In the black palace, Qing Ying was holding a scarlet spear with one snow-white hand, while the other was wiping the strange and sharp spear tip.
"Yu Xuan's performance at the auction was a bit eye-catching. He has successively spent unimaginable amounts to bid for two treasures, which has elicited a lot of interest in him," answered the old dwarf truthfully.
Although he had not been at the scene, he knew everything that had happened at the auction.
"So that's how it is. In the end, it's nothing more than an example of people will die for money, while birds will die for food.”
Qing Ying's voice was full of sarcasm and contempt.
Things in the world had always been like this. They had been happening since ancient times and were not uncommon.
The door of the black palace opened, and Qing Ying, wearing a green dress and holding a blood-colored umbrella, glided out like a misty puff of smoke.
She looked into the distance and said calmly, "I'm leaving. Before I go, I want to do one last piece of business with this Young Master Yu Xuan."
...
Outside the city, the sky was high and the clouds were vast. In the distance were the vast mountains that exuded a primitive atmosphere like the untamed wilderness.
Lin Xun and Jintian Xuanyue did not encounter any obstacles along the way so they walked out of the city gate smoothly.
Not far away, there was an ancient teleportation array.
Teleportation arrays like this were spread across every city in Qing State and were opened every hour.
Hundreds of cultivators could be transported each time, but the cost of using the teleportation array was extremely expensive. In fact, at least a hundred thousand dao crystals were required for a single trip.
Furthermore, if one wanted to go to some more distant cities, one may even need to transfer multiple times, so the number of dao crystals being spent was incalculable.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would choose to travel by the ancient teleportation arrays unless there was an emergency.
However, today was different from the past.
Today, outside the city, there was no bustle and noise that was present before, so it felt calm and cold.
The ancient teleportation array was even sealed up. Although no one was guarding it, no one could activate it.
The reason was very simple. To activate the teleportation array, a special array plate was required. This array plate was often in the hands of the largest force in each city.
For example, in Lin'an City, the array plate was in the hands of the Xing Clan.
After witnessing this scene, Lin Xun's lips curled up slightly and he said, "It seems that the people of the Xing Clan are also participating in this. I am very curious about what they are planning and why they are targeting me."
Jintian Xuanyue was also confused.
Since they had entered the city, they had never provoked the Xing Clan.
"Please stay, Fellow Daoists."
Suddenly, a group of figures rushed over from the city gate, led by a handsome man in a gorgeous robe who exuded a terrifying aura.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Xun's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"We are from the Demon-Subduing Temple in Qing State and would like to invite you two to be our guests."
The handsome man's eyes flickered.
"We have no association with you, so why should we become guests to your sect?"
Lin Xun couldn't help laughing. This man’s excuse...was simply too shoddy.
The handsome man said in a deep voice, "Dao Friend, you should have noticed that many people have been eyeing you along the way. We don't want to see you suffer, so we came here specially to invite you to be our guests. In this way...maybe we can turn danger into safety."
Lin Xun's eyes became cold, "Listen to my advice, stuff away your greed and obediently disappear. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't know how you died."
The handsome man and his group looked ugly.
Lin Xun ignored them and flew away with Jintian Xuanyue.
The handsome man shouted, "Dao Friend, are you going to drink a forfeit after refusing to accept my toast?"
Jintian Xuanyue turned around suddenly, and with a flick of her finger, a dazzling sword qi slashed out.
Boom!
The void exploded, and the unparalleled sword qi fell, opening an unfathomable huge gap in front of the handsome man and others as smoke and dust spread.
The handsome man and the others felt their hands and feet immediately turn cold, and their faces were pale.
They didn't have time to react just now!
If this sword qi had fallen upon them, then they would not have time to resist!
When they thought of this, they couldn't help trembling all over.
At this time, Jintian Xuanyue had already turned around and followed Lin Xun step by step. In the eyes of those people, that tall and graceful figure was full of a sharp and mysterious aura.
In the nearby area, countless people were secretly observing this, so they couldn't help but gasp as they had finally realized that this man and woman were not sheep to be taken!
"A bunch of idiots, how can you guys deal with Yu Xuan? You really overestimate your own abilities and are tired of living."
A sneer sounded, and Kong Yu and his group appeared in an imposing manner.
There were dozens of people, including more than ten supreme Saint-Kings and two quasi-Emperors.
This included Xing Liushui, the head of the Xing Clan. He was also at the perfect Saint-King Stage, but at this moment, he was completely following Kong Yu's lead.
Seeing this scene, some of the strong experts who had followed Lin Xun from Donglai Treasure Pavilion were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
What a terrifying array of people!
"Chase!"
Kong Yu was too lazy to pay attention to those hidden spectators. There was a cold and deep hatred in his eyes, and he was unable to continue to suppress the boiling murderous intent within him.
Boom!
The void shook, and a group of people moved in the void, causing divine clouds to flow and a shower of light to appear. The scene was extremely shocking.
"Oh my god, who is this Yu Xuan, and how could he cause such a crazy situation?"
Those cultivators who were tracking Lin Xun were dumbfounded and shocked.
Lin'an City was just a normal port city in Qing State. Under ordinary circumstances, not many terrifying figures would appear here.
In fact, there were two quasi-Emperors in charge!
"His name is Yu Xuan? How could this damned guy cause such a big ruckus?"
The Ancestor Burning Flame had also appeared, with a group of men and women. He had noticed the actions of Kong Yu and his group, so his expression had become uncertain.
"Ancestor, I'm afraid we don't have a chance." A man swallowed hard, frightened.
The others were also nervous.
"You stay here, I'll go and see."
The Ancestor Burning Flame took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Not to mention taking advantage of the situation, at least we have to see how this bastard was killed!"
As he said that, his figure flashed and broke through the air.
At the same time, near the city gate, there were also some experts who were proud of their skills and courage. Like Ancestor Burning Flame, they also chased after them quietly.
Yu Xuan!
It was an extremely unfamiliar name. At least in Qing State, no one had ever heard of it before.
However, such a shocking hunt was triggered when he had appeared, which made everyone realize that Yu Xuan's origins were probably not simple!
"They are coming."
At the same time, in the vast mountains far away from Lin'an City, on the top of a particular peak, Lin Xun and Jintian Xuanyue stood side by side. Their clothes fluttered around them, and the misty sea of clouds nearby made the two of them look like exiled immortals.
