Chapter 588: White Nest Remnants Meet Enemies
The business in Huoxing City is indeed prosperous and bustling.
Yu Lie followed Tie Jianlan and only went to two places before he found out about the nearest auction in the city which would also feature the Blood Order.
Soon, under a huge stone dome, there was a crowd of people, and there were at least tens of thousands of people crowded in this hall.
Fortunately, there is not just one auction table here, but nine in a row. On each table stands a young-looking Taoist priest presiding over the auction.
A series of shouts rang out in the chaotic scene, making it extremely noisy. If all the people present were not cultivators, they would not be able to hear clearly or understand what stage the auction was at.
Yu Lie and his group came here. Since they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, even if they had not reserved a private room in advance, they would not be crowded together with other Taoists.
Under the guidance of the servants at the venue, the three of them pushed aside the people blocking their way and came directly to the large auction table in the center. Then they sat calmly on several armchairs made of golden nanmu wood.
The Taoists along the way saw them interrupting their journey. Although they were all complaining and cursing in their hearts, they did not show any displeasure on their faces. Instead, they looked shameless and smiled.
And after they sat down, the area around Yu Lie and the others immediately became empty.
There were several Taoists sitting in the front row. Some of them had some background or some were wealthy, but none of them were at the sixth level. So after bowing, they obediently retreated to the back row.
As for the other Foundation-Building Taoists who were attending the meeting, they had basically all arrived early and naturally had private rooms to serve them. There were quite a few of them, and just the ones Yu Lie knew of, there were as many as thirty-two.
The reason why he knew it so clearly was that he already had thirty-two divine senses, which had already swept over them when they sat down, as a greeting to the three of them.
Among them, there were some people who met by chance, but invited Yu Lie and the other two to sit in their private room, but they were politely declined by Yu Lie and Tie Jianlan.
After a slight disturbance, the order in the venue immediately returned to normal. Then, one by one, rare, bloody, or mysterious objects were brought onto the stage.
The female Taoist priests who presided over the auction racked their brains and used all their tricks to tease the minds of everyone present and make them compete to bid.
Especially when facing Yu Lie and his group, who were the only ones sitting in the lobby, the female host first provoked Yu Lie and the two women with words. When she saw that it didn't work, she walked off the stage directly, almost sticking to Yu Lie, introducing the goods in her hands.
But unfortunately, no matter how miraculous she praised the goods in her hands, today was not an auction specifically for Taoists who were building their foundation.
Many things that were considered treasures by Taoists below the sixth rank were, in the eyes of Yu Lie and the other two, of little value.
Moreover, their main purpose of coming here today is to obtain the blood order, so they should not make trouble.
However, after Yu Lie and the other two had been waiting for more than half an hour, the blood order that was expected to appear at the auction did not appear. It was not known whether the order had been changed or it had already been bought by someone behind the stage.
This made Tie Jianlan, who was originally extremely expectant, suddenly look cold.
If she hadn't been concerned about the business still going on at the scene, she would have wanted to stop the female host on the stage on the spot.
Tie Jianlan immediately grabbed a Taoist official from the left and right and brought him to her, shouting, "We have waited for so long, will there be another blood order today?"
The Taoist servant was suppressed by the sixth-grade spiritual consciousness. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.
The servant was panicked and said, "Normally, there should be one. But, but, I really don't know."
Although this small setback did not interrupt the entire auction, it attracted the attention of many people around.
In the private rooms at the top, many Taoists came to fight for the Blood Order. They had the same doubts as Tie Jianlan. They either discussed it in private or called the people from the auction to scold them, thinking that the host of the venue was deliberately teasing everyone.
But at this moment, suddenly another group of people came in from outside the field. Each of them had a strong aura and walked with an air of arrogance.
The leader walked while cursing:
"Master Moro is really using chicken feathers as a token of authority. To buy a blood token, I have to ask the Taoist master to come here in person. Wouldn't it be better to just let the vendors hand it over directly?"
For ordinary Taoists, there are few ways to obtain the Blood Token and it is very expensive.
But for a Taoist master who has reached the Dancheng realm, it is just a matter of words.
Besides, Kuimulang already knew that the "Blood Order" was originally released from the hands of Shenqizi and others.
As Master Morosan is a loyal dog under Shenqizi, following him day and night, he must not be short of blood orders.
In other words, this beast asked Kuimulang to buy the blood order at the auction, which was totally unnecessary, or was playing a trick on Kuimulang.
As he walked, Kuimulang's face looked gloomy and cold.
In his heart, he cursed fiercely, "You bastard! When I have completed my elixir, I will refine you into a real ghost and make you my slave!"
After cursing for a few words, Kuimulang strode to the bottom of the auction table. He didn't care at all about the other Taoists who were being knocked over or stepped on on the heads by him.
This guy did not sit on the chair provided in the venue. Instead, he waved his robe, and his subordinates behind him brought out an exquisite couch and invited him to sit down.
But just as Kuimulang's butt touched the couch, he glanced around him and saw that someone dared to sit on the same level with him.
The beast raised his head and glanced, his eyes suddenly jumped with shock, he jumped up and said in a lost voice:
"You? Is it you?"
Although Yu Lie had already noticed someone walking from outside the field, and also sensed that the other party was also a Taoist priest in the foundation-building stage, the other party had no intention of killing him, and was still more than ten or twenty feet away from him. In order to avoid trouble, Yu Lie did not casually extend his spiritual sense to look at the other party.
Therefore, when the other party screamed out, Yu Lie felt that the other party's voice was very familiar, so he looked up and recognized the other party.
He also blurted out in surprise: "You are... Old Dog Kuimu?"
The Taoist priest who came to the auction venue temporarily today and wanted to compete with Yu Lie for the Blood Order was Yu Lie’s former half-master and Bai Chao’s third disciple - Kuimulang!
The two looked at each other, both with astonishment in their eyes.
Yu Lie had never thought that it was such a coincidence that he met this guy at the auction. He quickly thought that the mastermind who was secretly looking for him in the Disaster Realm and targeting Heishuizi and the people in the Qian Palace might be the Inspection Department.
Kuimulang was startled and instantly understood why Master Moro suddenly forced him to come to the auction.
"Damn it, that ghost is really not a good thing. It wants to plot against me and let me test Yu!"
Kuimulang cursed even more fiercely in his heart.
He immediately thought, "I heard that Shen Qizi is also looking for this Yu guy. Master Moro Sanshi is helping Shen Qizi do the dirty work. Could it be that they have already severely offended Yu Lie, so they want to throw my Bai Chao group out to attract attention and make them bear some blame!?"
Kuimulang couldn't help but think so.
The truth is that ever since Bai Chaozi died in Qianzhou Daocheng, the Bai Chao Inspection Office has been purged from top to bottom, including Kuimulang, Doumuxie and Jiaomujiao.
Fortunately, the three of them were all Taoist priests, so they were not exiled to a foreign land or beaten to death on the spot.
However, they could escape the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of living. Several of them were sent to the Disaster Realm, under the pretext of expanding the power of the Inspection Department in the Disaster Realm and reclaiming new land.
In fact, it was just a punishment for them.
In recent years, the three of them had no one to back them up, and although their lives were not very good, they were all Taoist priests with their own offices, and Jiaomu Jiao and Doumu Xie were about to form their elixir. The three of them were barely able to live in the Disaster Domain, and they also successfully set up the framework of the Inspection Office.
If one of Jiaomujiao or Doumuxie were to form a golden elixir, the Chaos Domain Patrol Office might really start to lose its footing and start to tremble.
But before they could get familiar with the situation, a god appeared out of nowhere. He took the decree of the Taoist Emperor and dealt with this and that in the Disaster Realm. He seized all the forces of the Dao Court and unified them into one.
Even though it was the most independent patrol department, Kuimulang and his two companions did not dare to disobey. They obediently served under the other party and followed their orders.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Linzi and Gao Yunzi, one is the boss of Dao Ting and the other is the second in command.
As the younger brother of the former, Shen Qizi looked down on the Inspection Division and often ridiculed or deliberately targeted Kuimulang and the other two. As a result, the three of them were so exhausted from working for the other side in recent years that they even delayed their practice.
Just like today.
Master Moro's original order was for Kuimulang, Doumuxie, and Jiaomujiao to all come to the auction, but two of them refused on the pretext of studying Dan-Jie. Only Kuimulang was left because of his low realm, and the other three couldn't refuse outright, so they came out reluctantly.
For a moment, Kuimulang stood in the auction venue, his mind churning wildly and unable to express in words.
Then a strange scene appeared.
It should have been a scene of enemies meeting, with eyes full of jealousy, but the two of them stared at each other, making it seem like old friends meeting.
Tie Jianlan, who was standing next to her, heard Kuimulang's name. She seemed to be aware of something and looked around the entire venue vigilantly.
Sang Yutang didn't understand, so she whispered to Yu Lie, "Is that Taoist priest also an old friend of Brother Yu? If so, I'll go over and invite him over."
This voice woke Yu Lie from his doubts. He took a deep look at Kuimulang opposite him, and with a smile on his face, he invited him from a distance:
"Brother Mulang, we met outside the realm. It's really fate. Why don't you come over and have a chat?"
Yu Lie pointed to a chair beside him.
He remembered the rules in Huoxing City. Any problems can only be solved on the fighting arena and people are not allowed to fight in private.
Even if Kuimulang came prepared and had hidden schemes, Yu Lie could just refuse the fight and leave in disgrace.
After hearing Yu Lie's invitation, Kuimulang's expression changed. He actually suppressed all his thoughts, put on a stiff smile, and walked towards Yu Lie and the other two.
"please."
"please."
When they got closer, they stood opposite each other, with a seat between them. After the greeting, they both sat down.
And at the same time, they both cast spells to isolate the two of them from the surroundings, leaving only the sound of their breathing.
After a moment of silence, Yu Lie and Kuimulang spoke in different tones:
"What a coincidence today..."
They all shut up immediately, thinking about what to say.
It was Yu Lie who broke the awkwardness and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Mu, did you come here today specifically to seek revenge on me?"
Kuimulang did not hesitate and said immediately: "No, no!"
This guy wanted to explain that he was plotted against, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to say it. He couldn't say that he was in a very miserable situation now and was really working as a dog for others.
Seeing that the man remained silent, Yu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since this isn't revenge, then today we can just treat it as a reunion of old friends, so just sit down and chat."
After a pause, he reminded: "Anyway, we are in the City of Misfortune, and there are rules to follow."
When Kuimulang heard this, he reacted and realized that Yu Lie did not dare to take action in the city.
The beast's body suddenly relaxed a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
To be honest, he really didn't want to provoke Yu Lie anymore.
You must know that ten years ago, he, Kuimu Lang, was at the same level as Yu, and had a talisman, the Bird Talisman, in his hand. As a result, he was severely defeated by the opponent and even the Bird Talisman was lost.
And it was just a matter of seconds. If he hadn't been quick and nimble, he would have lost his life.
In addition, Taoist Master Bai Chao, who was much more confident than him, personally went out to cause trouble for Yu Lie. As a result, even though he was a top-grade golden elixir, he still lost his life in front of Yu Lie.
With all the lessons learned from the past, Kuimulang had already made up his mind to avoid Yu Lie.
So the strange scene continued under the auction table.
These two people, who clearly had a grudge against each other for killing their relatives and their teacher, were sitting there in peace.
They watched as treasures jumped out one after another at the venue, occasionally chatting and making a few comments.
Until, a bloody token appeared in the hands of the female host on the stage.
"The next auction item is a blood-colored token."
The gorgeous female Taoist priest swayed her body and spoke in a bewitching tone:
"I heard that this token determines whether one can enter a large secret realm. The holder of this token can also escape from it after a certain period of time to protect himself. It is very rare!"
That’s right, the blood order not only allows the Taoists to enter the secret realm in advance, but also allows them to leave after a certain period of time, so that they don’t have to stay in the secret realm forever.
It is precisely because of this that the price of the blood-colored token is extremely high. Even though the number of tokens that have been leaked has increased recently, each token can still attract competition from many Taoists.
The blood order came out.
Below the auction table, Yu Lie, Tie Jianlan and others all had shining eyes.
Kuimu Lang, who was standing by, had a strange look on his face when he saw this, as if he was struggling with something...
