Chapter 1360: An Incident Occurs
Yuanyuan shook her head, she didn’t know either, so she simply left.
After they left, the bidding here picked up speed, with the Beast Taming Sect, Artifact Sect, and Independent Practitioner Alliance battling relentlessly. Now it’s in a stalemate.
"Uncle Master, why didn’t our sect participate?"
"Are you silly? What’s the benefit of having such an obvious Immortal Artifact in the sect?"
"Are we afraid of them?"
"Indeed."
Liu Xiaozhu didn’t say anything; actually, the master didn’t believe there was any Immortal Artifact. Even if there were, he didn’t want to meddle in this mess.
"They are truly wealthy, I feel envy toward the rich."
It’s already ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and the three parties show no intention of quitting.
"Isn’t there news saying it’s a Demon Cultivator’s consigned item? Do they want to deceive each other?"
Everyone somewhat agreed.
"Wow, the Beast Taming Sect added ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones?"
"The Beast Taming Sect is truly wealthy."
"The Independent Practitioner Alliance followed suit. What’s the big deal? They are the truly wealthy ones?"
The crowd watched with keen interest, feeling a bit passionate.
"Wow, it’s already one million top-grade Spirit Stones? One million! I can’t even imagine how much one million top-grade Spirit Stones is. Is it as big as a mountain?"
They were just Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, being unaware was normal. Liu Xiaozhu didn’t expect the price to reach this level and saw the price still rising.
"Uncle Master, who do you think will end up with it?"
"I don’t know. Now the Artifact Sect has withdrawn, but the Beast Taming Sect and Independent Practitioner Alliance show no signs of giving up."
Finally, the Independent Practitioner Alliance directly added one million top-grade Spirit Stones, and the Beast Taming Sect stopped bidding.
"Congratulations to Room Six for acquiring the Immortal Artifact with two million eight hundred and eighty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones."
Right at that moment, a sharp laughter emerged in the venue.
The Second Elder of the Independent Practitioner Alliance was swift; he immediately took the Immortal Sword and tossed a Storage Bag to the Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Haha, trying to leave? It’s not that easy, stay here today."
Liu Xiaozhu was very vigilant. He had thought that danger would only appear after the Immortal Artifact was auctioned.
"Everyone be careful, don’t move now."
The others nodded. They already felt the oppression; it was definitely above Nascent Soul, a Great Cultivator.
At this time, three Nascent Souls from the Independent Practitioner Alliance emerged from their room, and two Nascent Soul stage guards from Duobao Pavilion appeared as well.
The other rooms remained silent.
However, in the First Layer hall, suddenly some Demon Cultivators also appeared.
"Uncle Master, can Demon Cultivators now disguise themselves as cultivators without being detected?"
Liu Xiaozhu frowned. It was indeed the case; it seems they must be even more cautious of Demon Cultivators.
"Haha, none shall escape."
A fight broke out outside; this auction venue wasn’t a building but a space Spiritual Artifact, incapable of resisting Demon Cultivators.
The cultivators from Duobao Pavilion couldn’t manage so much now; they took the Spiritual Artifacts, exposing everyone.
Liu Xiaozhu was at the front; the situation became clear: too many people were involved, all well-known figures from the Cultivation World.
The exposure actually benefitted the Independent Practitioner Alliance; the three Nascent Soul protected the Second Elder, helping him escape.
"Hahaha, trying to run?"
Three Nascent Souls against a Divinity Transformation; with a single strike, they were subdued.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Second Elder fled.
"You handle those cultivators; I’ll retrieve the Immortal Sword."
The Demon Cultivators were formidable; there were ten Nascent Souls involved, but on this side, there were also ten Nascent Souls, quickly the twenty Demon Cultivators were eliminated.
The area is temporarily safe now. Liu Xiaozhu spoke to some familiar faces, then hurriedly returned to the garrison with the remaining eight.
Tan Shaoting’s family heard the commotion outside and immediately came, relieved to see that no one was missing or injured.
"Prepare to depart," Liu Xiaozhu said.
Tan Shaoting frowned, "Uncle Master, is it wise to leave now? Let’s not be unlucky enough to run into them."
Liu Xiaozhu pondered for a moment but decided to leave.
The group soon left the city, quickly boarding a Flying Boat marked with the Xuantian Sect emblem.
Now, the four members of the family listened to the recounting of the auction’s events.
"Junior Sister Su was lucky to leave early, or else Qi Hao and Qi Xuan would have been frightened."
"I just didn’t want to join the commotion, particularly since I have two children to care for."
"Junior Sister Su, you wouldn’t believe it; three Nascent Souls from the Independent Practitioner Alliance were subdued instantly."
"Senior Sister Xu, keep striving."
"Yes, I’m working hard. Someday I’ll become a Great Cultivator too."
Tan Shaoting steered the Flying Boat, continuously accelerating, eager to leave this contentious place.
The remaining cultivators sat on the deck, discussing the insights gained from the auction.
Yuanyuan was a bit nervous; she sensed the Immortal Sword, indicating this was the direction of danger.
"Stop."
Tan Shaoting halted the Flying Boat, "There’s danger ahead, everyone off the Flying Boat."
Tan Shaoting led the way, Yuanyuan carrying two children behind.
Liu Xiaozhu attempted to circumnavigate, but evidently, the Demon Cultivator and Independent Practitioner Alliance’s Nascent Soul cultivator already spotted them.
Liu Xiaozhu acted decisively, "Head to the mountain."
The ten of them moved swiftly, with Liu Xiaozhu bringing up the rear.
Nearby, the two were locked in combat, the Demon Cultivator toyed with the Second Elder.
Yuanyuan carried the two children, with Tan Shaoting guarding the rear this time.
"Scatter!"
They understood now; it was indeed fortunate luck, stumbling upon such a situation after departing.
Yuanyuan moved remarkably fast without using Spiritual Power, surprising everyone.
The two children clung to their mom’s neck, aware of the danger now.
Tan Shaoting’s Divine Sense couldn’t locate Liu Xiaozhu, indicating Liu Xiaozhu couldn’t detect them either.
Ahead was a cave; the couple dashed inside, Tan Shaoting dropped a Fifth-rank Array Plate at the cave entrance.
Once inside, Yuanyuan hid Qi Hao and Qi Xuan in space, feeling slightly more secure.
"The Demon Cultivator is Divinity Transformation, can he detect space?"
At this time Chen Xue Man spoke, "If you can seize him into space, he’ll be immediately annihilated."
Yuanyuan understood, for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it was like dealing with children; thus, they needn’t worry.
Tan Shaoting was deeply worried. He watched his wife suddenly calm down.
"Yuanyuan."
"It’s fine, just hide here. If found, it’s our destiny."
Yuanyuan winked at Tan Shaoting as she finished speaking. Though uncertain of the situation, he knew his wife had a plan.
