Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 609: Isn’t That the Symbol of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven?

Chapter 609: Isn’t That the Symbol of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven?

Unknowingly, six hours had already passed.

At that moment, Zhang Changheng suddenly noticed Wang Chengfu hurrying toward the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and was instantly surprised.

“Huh? Wang Chengfu appeared again. Is he personally welcoming a guest?”

“Who could possibly warrant the alliance master of the Rare Treasures Alliance to come out and greet them in person?”

Shen Mo had already guessed who had arrived, but still turned to look.

He also wanted to see what kind of person the master of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven really was.

Everyone looked toward the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and immediately saw Wang Chengfu leading the cultivators of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce as they escorted three people inside.

All three were beautiful women.

The two walking in front appeared identical at first glance—clearly a pair of twins.

Graceful and captivating, their every glance exuded charm.

Their strength was also not to be underestimated.

However, it was clear they were merely clearing the way.

The woman behind them was the true master.

She wore a light veil, concealing her stunning face.

But even just the portion of her brows and eyes that were visible was exquisitely beautiful—enough to make countless men lose their senses.

She wore a loose long robe, and even so, every movement still outlined her alluring and mature figure with clarity.

A woman capable of toppling nations.

There wasn’t a single cultivator present who didn’t think so.

However, once the cultivators clearly saw the emblem embroidered on the robes of the three women…

Their romantic thoughts were abruptly suppressed.

A black mountain peak.

Atop the peak were several ghastly skulls.

Liu Yuntian blurted out, “Isn’t that the symbol of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven?!”

Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven!

These four words fell like a mountain upon everyone’s hearts.

Zhang Changheng swallowed hard. “Is that possible? Why would the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven appear in the Outer Sea?”

Wei Jincheng also frowned. “Isn’t the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven always active in the Inner Sea? Why would they care about a major auction held by the Rare Treasures Alliance?”

Liu Yuntian said firmly, “There’s no mistake. That’s definitely the emblem of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven.”

“And that veiled woman holds no low status within the grotto-heaven.”

“Look, the twin women in front only have three skulls on the emblem at their chests.”

“But that woman—there are seven skulls atop her black mountain!”

Zhang Changheng asked in a low voice, “What does seven skulls signify?”

“A grotto-master. Very likely one of the eighteen masters of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven!” Liu Yuntian said solemnly.

Hiss—!

Sounds of sharp inhalation echoed through the private room.

A grotto-master of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven was at least someone with eighty Dao patterns.

Why would such a figure appear here?

Shen Mo discreetly looked toward Shi Tianhao.

That man’s gaze was evasive, with a flash of fear in his eyes.

Clearly, he knew why the master from the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven had come.

Liu Yuntian speculated, “Could it be that some treasure at the auction caught the attention of this grotto-master?”

Zhang Changheng frowned. “That doesn’t make sense. With the reputation of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven, if they wanted something, they would just send word through someone to Wang Chengfu. Within an hour, he would personally deliver it, respectfully, to that grotto-master.”

Wei Jincheng nodded in agreement. “Exactly. For this grotto-master to appear suddenly, her intentions are completely unknown.”

“Look, not just Wang Chengfu—cultivators from Hidden Dragon Island, the Sun and Moon Sect, the Bloodsun Sword Sect, and the Five Thunder Mountain Sect have all come out to greet her. They’re clearly surprised as well.”

At that moment, Ying Tianhao voiced the question everyone had in mind.

He laughed heartily and cupped his hands from afar toward the woman, speaking loudly, “I am Ying Tianhao, chief of Hidden Dragon Island. Greetings, grotto-master. May I ask what brings you here today?”

The entire hall fell into dead silence.

All eyes were fixed on that beautiful woman.

Every cultivator wanted to know how this great figure from the Inner Sea would respond.

After all, she was a grotto-master of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven.

Among the five major powers of the Inner Sea, the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven was notoriously domineering and sinister.

Aside from the Myriad Phenomena Holy Land—which never involved itself in factional disputes and remained detached from the world—there was no power the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven wouldn’t confront.

Don’t be fooled by her enchanting appearance.

Murdering people to refine corpses, extracting souls and marrow—these were things she could do as casually as lifting a hand.

The graceful woman paused slightly in her step, then coldly said, “A mere Outer Sea sect dares to question the actions of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven?”

Hearing this, Ying Tianhao’s face turned red and pale by turns.

Yet he didn’t dare speak further and could only sit down.

The other cultivators began whispering among themselves, clearly amused by the spectacle.

Especially the few cultivators from the Sun and Moon Sect.

Seeing Ying Tianhao humiliated brought them more joy than advancing an entire major realm.

Although Hidden Dragon Island was only one of the three major powers in the Luoxing Sea Region, it had always followed the lead of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

There had long been rumors in the Luoxing Sea Region claiming Ying Tianhao had a grotto-master in the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven as a backer.

That was how he managed to gain a firm foothold in the region.

But clearly, this unfamiliar grotto-master was in a foul mood.

She didn’t give Ying Tianhao, the island master of Hidden Dragon Island, the slightest bit of face.

Soon, under Wang Chengfu’s guidance, the graceful woman directly entered the Heaven-class private suite.

Wang Chengfu did not dare show the slightest neglect toward this grotto-master, who was as cold as an iceberg. Naturally, he arranged the best private room.

If not for Yin Zanghua telling him to get lost, he would’ve had to stand inside and serve tea personally.

Inside the private suite—

Yin Zanghua sat cross-legged on a soft meditation cushion.

Chen Yu and Luo Yan stood attentively to either side.

Yin Zanghua cast an annoyed glance at the two.

Earlier, while she was on Liuyun Island searching for the golden page, she had only just sensed the divine sense imprint on it when these two had caught up to her.

They claimed the second grotto-master had received new information—that the grand auction held by the Rare Treasures Alliance might feature a never-before-seen golden page as its final item.

But the Heaven Talisman Sect had also learned of this, and it was likely they too had sent someone.

The second grotto-master instructed her to bring both golden pages back to the grotto-heaven.

And due to the appearance of Heaven Talisman Sect cultivators, she had no choice but to come to the auction first.

The matter of retrieving the previous golden page would have to be put on hold for now.

“Grotto-master, the cultivators from the Heaven Talisman Sect haven’t shown themselves. Perhaps they know we’re here and are deliberately staying hidden,” Luo Yan said softly.

“Simple. Whoever wins the final auction item, we’ll force them to hand it over,” Chen Yu said with disdain.

The Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven had always acted with domineering force.

As a grotto-master, Yin Zanghua could forcibly demand the auction item—who would dare defy her?

At most, she’d toss them a treasure afterward to shut people up.

Yin Zanghua shot them a glance and closed her eyes to rest.

These two women had been sent to her by the second grotto-master after she became the eighteenth grotto-master of the Dark Yin Grotto-Heaven.

Both were quite powerful—in the Outer Sea, they’d certainly be leaders of their own territories.

But Yin Zanghua knew full well: they were nothing more than the second grotto-master’s ears and eyes left at her side.

The reason was simple—she was the personal disciple of the first grotto-master.

The first grotto-master’s lifespan was nearly exhausted, while the second grotto-master was in his prime, the strongest in power, and the most likely candidate to succeed the position.

At such a time, for the first grotto-master to suddenly promote her to become the eighteenth grotto-master—clearly, it was a move to counterbalance the second grotto-master.

Naturally, the second grotto-master saw her as a thorn in his side.
