Chapter 674: Chapter 285: The Southern Barbarians Invade, A Gift Delivered to Our Door

Tian Clan Leader apprehensively glanced at the elder in a purple robe:

"Brother Ziyang, I was merely joking with the youngsters, just having a little fun, not to be taken seriously."

Tian Clan Leader waved his sleeve.

The curtain was swept aside.

A cold look crossed his face.

This time he brought more than two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, intending to bid on those ten Foundation Establishment Pills, but unexpectedly fell short.

From the fierce competition for the Foundation Establishment Pills.

It seems that the Noble Families in this remote place, South Huai Prefecture, aren’t as destitute as the rumors suggested.

He decided to save his assets for the final item, the showpiece treasure.

Otherwise.

The thousands spent on the teleportation would be wasted.

Ultimately, the Phoenix Blood Wood was won by Fu Changsheng for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

The maidserving in Fu Changsheng’s box respectfully handed over the treasure box, taking the opportunity to throw a few flirtatious glances his way.

This was a big spender who had shelled out one hundred sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

However.

Fu Changsheng didn’t cast her a single glance, immediately verifying the authenticity of the Phoenix Blood Wood, then accepted it right away.

"No sense of romance."

The maid muttered inwardly, swaying her hips as she walked out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching the end of our auction. I believe that almost everyone here is eagerly awaiting the final item, the showpiece treasure..."

His words were interrupted as the crowd urged:

"Elder Qin, quickly present the treasure."

"Yes, yes, we’ve been waiting for half a day already."

"....."

The crowd was clearly impatient.

At this moment, amidst the crowd on the first floor, an unremarkable male cultivator chose this crucial moment to leave the auction hall.

Even though the showpiece treasure.

Wasn’t something Qi Cultivators could afford to bid on.

Everyone was still curious about what this so-called miraculous treasure was.

The male cultivator, dressed in a blue robe, changed into a grey robe and altered his appearance as he rounded a corner after leaving the auction hall.

In the marketplace, among the crowd.

Suddenly, several cultivators wearing the same attire appeared.

They exchanged glances before quickly dispersing.

....

Simultaneously.

Several hundred yards from the side entrance of the Wanning Marketplace.

An invisible treasure ship hovered in the air.

On the deck.

Six Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion stood, their attire distinctly different from Great Zhou Cultivators, and a peculiar mark was engraved on their foreheads.

A person standing on the left.

If Fu Changsheng were here, he would be shocked.

Because this person was Zhang Yuanyuan’s Dao Companion, Elder Qiuu Kui from the Yinan Tribe.

At this moment.

The Jade Talisman on Qiuu Kui’s body flashed briefly.

He glanced at it.

Then stepped forward and said:

"Grand Elder, the Wanning Commerce Association’s auction has reached the final showpiece treasure, it’s time to make a move."

Yinan Grand Elder nodded slightly.

But still double-checked:

"Elder Qiuu, are you sure your intelligence is accurate?"

"Reporting to Grand Elder, this is information handed over by the Royal Court. The Great Zhou Court is indeed currently at war with the Northern Border Sect and the South Sea Islands. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suddenly changed plans and not launched a war against various tribes in the Eastern Wilderness. The Great Zhou Dynasty has to juggle two battlefronts, it surely can’t focus on us in the Eastern Wilderness."

"Even if we take a step back."

"We’re merely raiding a marketplace and exterminating a Noble Family. Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty learns of it, they won’t do anything to us. For years, they’ve harvested surrounding tribes; hasn’t there been no major conflicts?"

"Moreover, this is the first auction by the Wanning Commerce Association after the Beast Tide; all the cultivators from South Huai Prefecture have moved their wealth here. This time, we are bound to rake in vast profits."

"After a swift victory."

"On our return, we can eliminate the Fu Family as well."

Zhang Yuanyuan’s death.

At the time, he thought it was the work of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area’s entities, but years of thorough investigation revealed it was the Fu Family’s doing.

The revenge for killing his wife cannot be unavenged!

Qiuu Kui has been waiting for this day.

Moreover, the Court now plans to summon Eastern Noble Families to support the Northern Border Spirit Control Sect battlefield. As an embedded pawn in the Eastern Wilderness for the Spirit Control Sect, he naturally has to fulfill his role.

As long as conflict arises between Eastern Wilderness tribes and Noble Families.

Then these eastern Noble Families will be unable to make a move.

The pressure on the Sect won’t be as intense.

Grand Elder cast a glance at Qiuu Kui, then said:

"Once the insider opens the side door, Elder Qiuu, you five must swiftly reach the World Suppression Bureau. While they are yet unaware, Elder Yana, you must first seize control of the Array. Elder Qiuu, along with Elder Sha and Elder Yun, break through the Array Hall of the World Suppression Bureau at full speed, sparing no effort to destroy the Teleportation Array."

"I will stay outside the marketplace to coordinate."

"We must ensure that not a single fly escapes from within."

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Qiuu Kui was flushed with excitement; the revenge for his wife finally accomplished, and resolving concerns for the Sect seemed a double win.

As he recalled.

Fu Changsheng also attended this auction today.

The thought of soon witnessing his nemesis meet his end filled him with glee.

.....

At the auction venue.

Having won the Phoenix Blood Wood, Fu Changsheng had only fourteen hundred thousand Spirit Stones left, realizing he couldn’t bid on the final showpiece treasure.

Thus he left early.

Upon leaving.

He clearly felt Tian Clan Leader’s Divine Sense closely trailing him.

Fu Changsheng furrowed his brow.

After all, the opponent was a Great Cultivator after all.

To be safe.

He moved his mind:

"Exchange intelligence."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A surge of yellow light flowed.

Soon rows of text presented themselves:
