Chapter 226 Sounding out
When Eunuch Feng heard the words “Wudao Stone”, his eyes brightened up. He nodded and said, “The Lianshi Cult is the bidder with the highest price now. Is there a higher bid?”
The Wudao Stone was a rare treasure in the Martial Arts Circle. It was a spiritual stone that recorded the thoughts of ancestors. After it was refined, it could activate the mind and enhance the understanding of the warriors. What’s more, it could also improve the efficiency of any martial arts skills practice and save time for people who practices the martial arts.
Tao Zisang took out ten Wudao Stones. It could be seen that the Lianshi Cult was powerful.
“Elder Tao is so courageous. The Hehuan Sect withdraws from this competition!”
“Tianji Country… gives up.”
In the VIP room 22, the coquettish young man squinted and said with an enchanting voice.
After the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult finished his polite words in the beginning, he did not say anything else. Three forces of the four withdrew. Nobody expected that the owner of the Full Moon and Heart Strings came into being in this way.
Eunuch Feng was stunned and then he immediately announced in a loud voice, “Congratulations! The Lianshi Cult get the best treasure in this Auction Fair, the Full Moon and Heart Strings!”
The hall was silent for a moment, and then a noise broke out like tidewater.
“Elder, the pill is ours!”
Tao Zisang was surprised and scared. He understood the thoughts of other forces. They clearly wanted to get it for nothing.
But he had prepared for it. He was not restless.
After the manager brought the Full Moon and Heart Strings and completed the transaction with him, Tao Zisang glanced at all the elders in the VIP room and said in a low voice, “Everyone, take actions as we originally planned. This matter should not be delayed. Go!”
Everyone left through the special access in the auction house in silence. The corpse puppets outside the auction house killed all the warriors who could see them and had not escaped in time!
At this moment, there were blood and screams everywhere.
Tao Zisang looked serious. Before he went out the auction house, he handed a glass bottle to an ugly, thin and old man. He transmitted the sound to him, “Fourth Elder, you are the best in the arts of lightness and the disguise skill. Go back to our cult with this thing. Act without fail!”
The short and thin old man was in surprise. It was different from what they agreed before. But he soon realized and hid the glass bottle. He nodded and left quickly.
The auction house’s special secret access led to the outside of the city. People knew it clearly. After the auction finished, many warriors outside the city stared at the exit and waited for Tao Zisang and other people.
Rumble…
A warrior put his ears to the ground and his eyes brightened up.
They were coming!
“Roar!”
Numerous corpse puppets rushed out like a mighty torrent. It was not clear that how many real people were among them. Before everyone came to their sense, the corpse puppets divided into three groups. They ran away to three different directions.
“Damn it. Which group should we chase?”
“Forget it! It depends upon luck.”
The time was limited. The warriors didn’t have time to think it. Some warriors rushed to the right directions they thought. While some warriors whose cultivation was not high enough knew their limitations. They didn’t chase the corpse puppets. They fought with the people who were targeted as soon as they went out the auction house. The pill of the Full Moon and Heart Strings was not the only one thing that was bid in the auction house.
Although there were lots of shouts outside, Su Li sat in the VIP room of the auction house calmly and indifferently.
Yun Yi walked in from outside and looked serious. He said in a low voice, “Miss, we arranged well. We’ll escort you back.”
Su Li’s eyes brightened up but she didn’t stand. She just asked, “Yun Yi, who is your master?”
Yun Yi was puzzled and he said with surprise, “Of course you are.”
Su Li squinted and her tone was strange, “Will you follow all my orders?”
“Of course!”
Yun Yi half knelt. He lowered his head and said, “Ten guards of the Yunge Sect can go through thick and thin for you. We will follow all your orders and no one can doubt us!”
“I want you to kill yourself. Then, show your loyalty to me.”
Su Li’s voice immediately became cold.
Yun Yi was in surprise and he raised his head unbelievably. When he saw that Su Li was serious, he was horrified.
The girl in front him was really the girl who cared about them very much before?
“Well, can your loyalty only be shown through your words?”
Su Li picked her nails and her eyes were full of sarcasm. She said with disdain, “It turns out that you are cheaters. Father cultivated a group of ungrateful people. But he regarded you as treasures and sent you to me. He is really stupid.”
Then, Yun Yi was pale. The shock in his bottom of heart turned into anger and then to grief.
Did their master always regard them as this kind of people?
Was the miss worth following?
Yun Yi was nervous and then he suddenly took a deep breath. He calmed himself down and half knelt on the ground with a straight back. He said calmly, “You are wrong, Princess. I belong to you. You want me to die, and I’ll kill myself!”
“This life was given by Lord Rui. I’ll give it back to you today!” Yun Yi thought.
As soon as Yun Yi closed his eyes, he immediately pulled out his long sword without a word and was about to slash his neck.
Ding!
A sound reverberated around Yu Yi’s ears. A great strength fell on the sword and the long sword in his hand flew away.
Yun Yi opened his eyes with shock. He only saw that the Miss said with a familiar and gentle smile, “Just kidding. You took it seriously.”
Yun Yi stood up in suspicion. He was sad and wanted to cut his throat with all strength just now. The Miss was even not a warrior of the inborn realm. How did she stop him?
When Yun Yi was lost in thought, Su Li clapped her hands and said somehow, “Come in, you all.”
The door of the VIP room was opened quietly. Fang Yuan and others who were disguised by Wen Tingshan came in succession. Then, from Yun Er to Yun Shi, all they went in. They all felt puzzled and scared. And they all looked at Su Li like they were looking at a stranger.
“Everyone passed. This group of people are very loyal. They are even more determined than the 20 people trained in the secluded site.” Fang Yuan stood beside Su Li and transmitted sound to her secretly.
Su Li nodded slightly. She knew the ten people were loyal to her in the previous life. Today she just asked them to do a little test. She tested Yun Yi personally and others were tested by Fang Yuan.
“Miss, what’s going on?”
Yun Yi finally couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t know most of the people who came in.
Su Li smiled and patted Yun Yi’s shoulder. She said, “You will know them soon. Now…”
Su Li became serious and said, “Go!”
As soon as she finished her words, people in black robes showed their true appearances. Their looks were the same as Su Li. Yun Yi and others were shocked. If they didn’t saw the real Su Li before, they couldn’t tell at all.
“It turned out that Miss Su had prepared early.”
Yun Yi realized that the miss was sounding out his loyalty just now.
Then, everyone wore bamboo hats as Su Li’s order. Over thirty people went out to escort the false Su Li in four groups together.
When the warriors waiting for Su Li in the dark saw so many people went out with same clothes and bamboo hats, they were shocked. They could only choose one to chase.
“People of the Lord Rui’s Mansion were really cunning. They used the method of the Lianshi Cult to flee!”
“We might fail in the battle with the Royal Guards. When we enter Yunjing City, we may die. Let it pass. We don’t want the Qishan Lotus. Let’s chase the people of the Lianshi Cult!
“…”
With such a scheme, many people immediately retreated and chased the people of the Lianshi Cult.
At this moment, the real Su Li disguised herself as “Mr. Li” in cyan with a bamboo hat. Yun Si, Yun Qi and Yun Jiu left to distract the enemies. Yun Yi and others were disguised by Wen Tingshan and went out the city with Su Li.
There were lots of seniors of the inborn realm. The warriors outside the city who were fighting retreated. They wondered who they were and why did they go out the city so late.
“The young man beside Qu Lu was difficult for us to rid of. How could we chase the people of the Lianshi Cult?”
Su Li said with a smile, “Follow me.”
Then, she first flew to the waterside pavilion in the south of the city quickly like a flash of lightning.
Fang Yuan and others were not surprised. They immediately followed Su Li. But Yun Yi and others were stunned. It turned out that the Miss was a senior of the inborn realm!
A 17-year-old senior of the inborn realm!
“Young… Master.”
Yun Er muttered nervously and then excitedly followed them. It was a blessing that he could follow a Young Master in this life!
“Come on. Don’t let the master down!”
Yun Yi looked serious. Only he knew that the cultivation of the Miss was definitely higher than that of the Young Master. He had reached the fourth hurdle. But Su Li could fight back his movement with one finger. Su Li’s cultivation… was beyond his imagination.
On the other side, Tantai Yu manipulated the tactical matrix of the mechanism. There was a machine-operated eagle above Yunjing City. It could see the escape trace of the Lianshi Cult clearly.
The eagle’s eyesight was excellent. Even it flew in the sky, it could see the preys in the grass. This machine-operated eagle was a precious treasure of Tianji Country. It was more powerful than other normal eagles. Every group’s movement of the Lianshi Cult was recorded and reflected in the mind of Tantai Yu.
“What? One person left alone. He joined in the crowd of ordinary warriors and fled to the south. He is not the elder of the Lianshi Cult. But with the disguise skill…”
Tantai Yu opened his eyes immediately and said, “I knew it!”
Qi Xianqing’s eyes brightened up and said, “Everyone, let’s go!”
At this time!
Tantai Yu heard an obsequious smile from his back.
“Prince of Tianji Country, can you give me a ride?”
Tantai Yu was a senior of the inborn realm with excellent reactions. He immediately retreated and saw the people behind him. They were people of the Hehuan Sect. There were dozens of seniors of the inborn realm. Qu Lu also stood in them. She was angry, because she was forced to come by that coquettish young man.
Tantai Yu was set up.
Tantai Yu looked indifferent. He calmly saw people of the Hehuan Sect surround them.
Qi Xianqing stood up and said slowly, “Hua Rui, I don’t want to start a war with you. Please move out the way quickly.”
The coquettish young man was a little surprised at the fact that someone even knew his real name. He looked at Qi Xianqing up and down and then he said, “Forgive me for my ignorance. Who are you?”
Qi Xianqing snorted. Before he said something, a voice sounded behind Hua Rui suddenly. Everyone was shocked.
