“40 million going once... 40 million going twice... 40 million going three times!”
“Congratulations to Gu master number 98 for winning this token at 40 million.”
“This auction has concluded successfully, we will send someone to deliver the items later, please wait patiently.”
As the host Gu master’s voice fell, many Gu masters who did not manage to get any items left the auction hall unsatisfied.
To have witnessed a transaction of 40 million at a mortal auction, they could talk about this story for the rest of their lives.
Fang Yuan also did not expect Bai Yao to really give up on bidding.
He only thought of this idea and tried it.
Who knew it would succeed.
“Does this prove that Bai Yao is worried about my safety?”
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that the one-night stand was about to develop into an underground love affair.
Soon, the staff of the auction venue sent the token over.
“Jun... Sister, give me the primeval stones.”
Li Tongzhou did not react at first. After being nudged by Fang Yuan with his elbow, he remembered his identity and quickly took out the primeval stones.
It was a huge sum of 40 million!
Li Tongzhou looked at the storage bag with some reluctance.
This might be the only time in his life when he could hold so many primeval stones.
The staff accepted the money and handed the token along with the crystal barrier to them.
At the same time, he also warned them. “Distinguished guests, this token is very strange. If it is not necessary, do not open the barrier and touch it.”
Fang Yuan nodded, waved his sleeve, and put it into his storage space.
This scene fell into the eyes of all the VIPs above. A group of people stood at the window with hostile expressions, staring at them with deep eyes.
Fang Yuan pretended not to see them and pulled Li Tongzhou out of the place.
Those people immediately followed. Seven or eight elders, core disciples, and young masters from the major sects watched the two people leave from afar, each with their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan quickened his pace and pulled Li Tongzhou into a small alley.
Then, someone couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Fellow Daoists, I have failed the sect’s great trust in this trip, so I bid you farewell!”
With that, he left in a hurry.
It seemed like he was going to the courier station to look for a carriage, but he made a detour and chased after Fang Yuan.
The remaining people naturally knew this, but they just didn’t say it out loud.
This token was something that the higher-ups of the sects had given a death order to obtain, so they naturally wouldn’t let it end just because of an auction.
This was especially so when it was bought by two unknown people.
Very swiftly, a few more people chased after them.
Jiang Yuncheng calmly stood there, glancing at Zhao Hede and Qin Wentian as he laughed lightly. “It’s already within my expectations that Senior Zhao of the Gu Immortal Sect isn’t going to chase after them. Why are you, Qin Wentian, acting like a good person, pretending to be a cat that doesn’t cheat?”
“And how good of a person can you be?”
Qin Wentian waved his sleeves. “Why, aren’t you going to chase after them? In a moment, they will be far away.”
“With the fairy around, it’s not convenient for me to appear.” Jiang Yuncheng had a folding fan in his hand and started fanning lightly.
“You want to play the hero saving the damsel in distress?” Qin Wentian felt a wave of disgust when he saw his actions.
“What, can’t I?”
Jiang Yuncheng’s lips curled up. “When her elder brother can’t hold on any longer, I will step out and save the two of them. They will all be in my hands, humans and objects.”
Qin Wentian coldly laughed. “Senior Zhao is listening.”
“So what? We are all smart people, you guys can guess it no matter what I say.”
Jiang Yuncheng looked indifferent. “The Gu Immortal Sect has already lost this competition, they are famous for being upright, they do not even bother to do such dirty things behind our backs.”
Zhao Hede frowned. “You want to group up and snatch the token?”
Jiang Yuncheng shook his head. “We are just fighting for ourselves, in fact, we are all fighting for ourselves, we are just looking for trouble with one person.”
Saying so, he smiled at Zhao Hede. “Senior Zhao, you do not know them, so you will not get involved, right?”
Who knew, Zhao Hede’s simple and honest face also showed a smile.
“With such a robbery happening in the Gu Immortal Sect’s territory, as the first disciple, I have the responsibility to get rid of those with ill intentions.”
Jiang Yuncheng’s smile froze.
Zhao Hede stepped out, and in the next instant, he appeared at the end of the street, leaving behind only his friendly-sounding voice.
“Damn it!”
Jiang Yuncheng abruptly closed the folding fan. “Why did this Zhao Hede’s personality change, for him to say such words?”
“There must be someone giving instructions in the background.” Qin Wentian felt great when he saw Jiang Yuncheng being defeated. “Second brother Jiang, with him appearing, the scene of you saving the damsel in distress can only appear in you dreams.”
Jiang Yuncheng no longer paid any attention to him, and silently walked forward.
A cold glint of light flashed in Qin Wentian’s eyes as he followed behind.
...
At the same time, outside Fanshu City.
Fang Yuan’s silhouette was akin to a ghost as he dragged Li Tongzhou along as they sped through the forest.
Suddenly, his silhouette froze as he came to a halt in an empty space.
Li Tongzhou surveyed his surroundings. This should be the location mentioned in Senior Fang’s plan.
Fang Yuan held the worm manipulation rod in his hand and reminded him, “They are catching up.”
Sure enough, in just a few breaths’ time, a green-robed old man suddenly appeared in front of them.
Looking at Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou, the old man stroked his beard, looking as if victory was in his grasp.
“Fellow Daoist, if you know what’s good for you, hand over that thing. I’ll give you ten million primeval stones as compensation, otherwise, everyone’s faces will be ugly.”
“Ten million for something that cost forty million?” Li Tongzhou mercilessly ridiculed him. “Can your old face become any uglier?”
The old man chuckled. “Fairy, you might not be able to see the situation clearly. At best you two are only at the Enlightenment Realm. If you fight with me, I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive two moves.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few figures appeared by the side.
At once, half of the VIP guests in the auction hall had arrived. Other than Bai Yao, the rest might still be on their way.
“That’s right, don’t make a mistake. I’ll give the person who sent you here some face. Leave the thing behind and leave on your own!”
“This old man doesn’t want to bully the weak. Make a decision quickly!”
“What a joke, there is only one token, whoever gets it will get it. This trip is already disgraceful, and you want to pretend to be an angel despite being a devil!”
The person who spoke last had the most explosive temper, and he was about to attack if there was a disagreement.
Fang Yuan was furious when he heard this. If he was at Fusion Realm now, he would have used his Bloodthirsty Gu to dismember this person. He would not have given him such an aggressive opportunity.
But between the Enlightenment Realm and the Fusion Realm, there was no chance of victory.
A furious power attacked, and just as it was about to hit him, a loud shout came from the forest.
“Who dares to act rashly in my Gu Immortal Sect’s territory!?”
Zhao Hede stood in front of Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou, easily blocking their attacks.
