Chapter 1216: Murder and Robbery?
An Lin finally settled his gaze on thirty or so cultivators.
They were mostly seated in the Heaven and Earth tiers, and most of them had powerful cultivation bases or influential backgrounds.
“Heh, this is interesting…” An Lin squinted his eyes.
Bai Ling had told him that the enemy was most likely of the Soul Formation Stage. Thus, he could further narrow his list of suspects down to a small group of twenty cultivators.
Meanwhile, the bid for the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root had already surpassed three million spirit stones.
Huang Fuwen and a white-robed, fan-waving male were locked in a fierce bidding war.
An Lin learned of the Heaven-tier male’s identity by listening in on the conversations taking place around him. He was called Duan Feiyang, and he was the young sect leader of the Thunder State’s Divine Feather Sect.
An Lin’s eyes lit up.
Duan Feiyang was powerful and also had a strong background. Thus, it was very possible that he possessed a mystic technique that could increase his power to the level of Return to Void Stage… That’s right, Duan Feiyang was the prime suspect!
“However, he’s fairly fearless… He’s actually sitting here and casually partaking in an auction after doing such things. Is he looking down on my Four Nine Immortal Sect?”
An Lin’s expression became cold as he whispered to himself.
Meanwhile, Huang Fuwen and Duan Feiyang were still engaged in their intense bidding war.
Three million and five hundred thousand, three million and six hundred thousand, three million and seven hundred thousand…
Four million!
Five million!
Eventually, the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root was won by Duan Feiyang for a whopping five million spirit stones.
Duan Feiyang shot an angry glance at Huang Fuwen after winning the bidding war. Then, he started waving his feathered-fan elegantly.
If it weren’t for Huang Fuwen’s price-raising, he could have purchased the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root for a mere three million spirit stones!
Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Roots were extremely rare, and he was in desperate need of this treasure for his Frosty Divine Wing cultivation technique. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have purchased this item for a whopping five million spirit stones.
Huang Fuwen also glared at Duan Feiyang coldly. He also wanted this item. However, he didn’t have enough spirit stones in his storage ring…
“Detestable! Why are they all snatching the items that I want? I can’t accept this!”
“Calm down. Heaven will always leave a door open. We still have opportunities.”
Elder Ming’s voice sounded from the black pearl.
Huang Fuwen gradually calmed down after hearing this. A smile stretched across his face as he glanced at Duan Feiyang and An Lin. “That’s right, Heaven will indeed always leave a door open. We still have opportunities…”
The auction came to an end.
An Lin paid two million spirit stones and successfully obtained the Dao Integration Stage True Dragon’s bone marrow essence.
His mood immediately improved after obtaining this divine-rank material.
The cultivators started leaving the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda, and An Lin also tailed Duan Feiyang out.
“An Lin, the target is heading toward the south!”
Bai Ling’s voice traveled out from his voice transmission talisman.
An Lin smiled upon seeing Duan Feiyang’s flight direction.
Duan Feiyang was also flying toward the south! It seemed like the enemy was indeed him!
An Lin activated his Mist Immortal Technique and stealthily followed behind Duan Feiyang. After a while, they exited Huang Ji City and entered into the outskirts.
“How is it going?” Bai Ling asked anxiously.
“Everything is going as planned.” An Lin chuckled. “I’m about to make my move. However, there are still three cultivators tailing me. This is fairly interesting. I wonder what they’re all thinking.”
“Be careful, okay? The enemy’s abilities are extremely uncanny,” Bai Ling warned. “If you can deal with him, then dispose of him as quickly as you can. Dragging the battle out will lead to unnecessary danger.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” An Lin hung up his voice transmission talisman and continued to tail Duan Feiyang.
The three cultivators tailing him were all from the Heaven-tier seats.
Although they concealed themselves extremely well, how could An Lin not discover them? The power of his divine sense was on the level of Return to Void Pinnacle Stage cultivators! Their concealment techniques were nothing in An Lin’s eyes.
Moreover, one of these cultivators was Huang Fuwen, the male who had competed with him for the bone marrow essence. This was getting fairly interesting…
One thousand meters away from An Lin, there was a dark ball of hidden matter concealed within the forest and shooting forward quickly. This was none than the hidden Huang Fuwen.
“Heh, everything is falling in my favor now. This situation is better than anything that I could have ever imagined. I had initially thought that I would need to choose between the Dao Integration Stage True Dragon’s bone marrow essence and the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root. Now, however, both of them are in the same place…
“That cultivator looks like he wants to steal Duan Feiyang’s items… After he steals Duan Feiyang’s treasures, I can enter the battlefield righteously and kill him for his evil crimes. That way, my actions will be justified. Moreover, I’ll be able to obtain both the bone marrow essence and Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root at the same time!”
With this in mind, the smile on Huang Fuwen’s face grew even larger. “Ignorant fool! Do you really think that you can act wantonly just because you have some power and a little money? I’ll let you know that evil will always be punished!”
Elder Ming’s voice also sounded at this moment, “The other two cultivators are also following Duan Feiyang secretly. Don’t forget to dispose of them.”
Huang Fuwen nodded and replied, “Naturally. I definitely won’t go easy on these ill-meaning cultivators!”
After saying this, his body transformed into a pitch-black blade projection and started weaving through the forest at an insane speed. His movements were silent, yet they were teeming with his killing intent.
After a short while, two muffled groans sounded.
When Huang Fuwen reappeared, his hands were already stained with blood. Moreover, there were two dazzling storage rings in his hands. “Humph! These kinds of demonic cultivators should be killed before they have the chance to commit crimes!” he said righteously.
After dealing with these matters, Huang Fuwen continued to tail behind An Lin and Duan Feiyang.
An Lin was slightly astonished.?Is this Huang Fuwen trying to rob all of us? His appetite is fairly f*cking huge… However, Duan Feiyang is a being who can raise his power to the level of a Return to Void Stage cultivator. Huang Fuwen is definitely going to die by his hands.
Right at this moment, Duan Feiyang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and waved his feathered-fan elegantly. Then, he chuckled. “Come on out. I know that you’re nearby.”
An Lin was astonished.?I’ve been discovered already?
One had to realize, even supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage couldn’t detect him while his Mist Immortal Technique was activated.
As expected of the powerful being who massacred the Second Divine Mirror Enforcement Team. This level of perception is truly astounding.
Just as An Lin was about to reveal himself, Duan Feiyang spoke again, “The person who was battling in the forest just then, did you really think that I wouldn’t notice you?”
An Lin: “…”
So, it turns out that he wasn’t referring to me?
A squirming black ball slowly materialized in the air.
It was none other than Huang Fuwen!
“Sh*t! How was I discovered…” There was a look of agitation on Huang Fuwen’s face.
He felt like everything was going against him recently.
I clearly had this planned out already. Duan Feiyang would be killed by that cultivator, then I would step out and slay the evil and demonic cultivator in the name of justice. I would punish evil and spread justice… But… why was I discovered first?
Huang Fuwen realized that he couldn’t continue his act anymore.
The plot development was completely wrong!
