The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 517, Rumors Are Not to Be Believe

The crown prince of the Styx Clan, Styx Cangming, has actually come to the Nine Passes Auction House!!!

When that dark green figure appeared, all the powerful figures of the Nine Netherworlds showed expressions of surprise, forming small groups of two or three, whispering to each other or exchanging glances.

The powerful figures in the mortal realm noticed the unusual activity on the Nine Netherworld Tower and also began to pay attention to the dark green figure.

"It seems that a very important person has come from the Nine Netherworld."

Although the Nine Gates Auction is a grand trade fair for the human world and the various races of the Nine Netherworlds to exchange goods and services, most of the races of the Nine Netherworlds only send a few representatives to participate.

Those who truly hold high positions, such as clan leaders and young masters, rarely make public appearances, and even when they do, they often disguise themselves.

The same applies to the human race. However, to ensure the stability of the Demon Prison, a pillar-level powerhouse is always present at each auction.

The human race leader in charge of this auction is Wei Zhenjie from the Central Holy Land.

The atmosphere upstairs at the auction house became murky and turbulent due to the appearance of Prince Styx, but the trading stalls on both sides remained oblivious, continuing their usual bustling and noisy atmosphere.

The auction was nearing its end. Human cultivators and beings from the Nine Netherworlds alike clutched their most prized possessions, moving back and forth between the stalls, engaging in the final and most intense games of negotiation and exchange.

At Hua Changxi's stall, she was engrossed in counting the remaining items.

Most of the Netherworld artifacts and plants have been dealt with, leaving only a few high-quality Netherworld plants and magical artifacts, as well as several large storage rings full of Netherworld stones.

She had already decided to use these Nether Stones to exchange for a batch of refining materials from the various races of the Nine Netherworld.

Just as she was about to pack up her stall, a damp, chilly air suddenly filled the air.

Hua Changxi looked up and saw a handsome man wearing a dark green robe with water ripple patterns engraved on his forehead walking straight toward her stall.

The Styx Clan!

Sensing the powerful aura of the newcomer, Hua Changxi's eyes flashed.

Could this person have chased her all the way from the fifth level of the Nine Netherworld to here?

No, it shouldn't be.

Not to mention that the Netherworld Deer was extremely fast, leaving everyone behind, she had already transformed from a Soul Clan member into a Ghost Clan member. Her aura had long since changed, and the people of the Nine Netherworld should not be able to detect that she was the Soul Clan member who snatched the Azure Light Orb.

With that thought in mind, Hua Changxi decisively shifted her gaze away from the man from the Styx River and continued tidying up her stall.

Until the Styx man stood in front of her stall.

Hua Changxi lowered her head and frowned. No way, they really came for her?

"Sir, you're too late. All the good stuff I have is sold out. Please look elsewhere."

Cangming coldly sized up the ghost clan member in front of him.

What an impressive disguise!

If it weren't for the strong aura of the Styx River emanating from her, he wouldn't have been able to tell that she was the Soul Clan member riding the Netherworld Deer.

The Nightmare Eater said that the Soul Clan was actually a human in disguise.

Cangming really wanted to investigate the guy in front of him, but he held back.

The reason why the beings of the Nine Netherworlds and the cultivators of the mortal realm chose to hold the auction here, aside from geographical reasons, is primarily because the Five Directions Grand Array has been set up here.

Once violence is used, the great formation will be activated, and you will be dragged into it.

The Five Directions Formation is not so easy to break.

Cangming glanced at the stone platform in the middle of the auction house. In each of the four directions of the platform, there was a one-meter-tall, dark blue hourglass.

When the hourglass of the dead runs out, the auction ends.

The hourglass runs from beginning to end, and the duration is exactly eighty-one days in the human world.

Currently, there is only a little bit of sand left in the hourglass, and the auction will probably end in another day or two.

Cangming withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes at Hua Changxi, and said, "Is that so? But I have a feeling that you possess other treasures as well."

Hua Changxi looked up at him and slowly straightened up: "What you think is what you think. If I say it's gone, then it's gone."

Cangming's eyes turned cold, and in an instant, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted, as if it were about to freeze, causing the surrounding creatures of the Nine Netherworlds to show expressions of horror and a small-scale commotion to break out.

Hua Changxi was unaffected by the leaking pressure from Cangming, but her aura also became more powerful: "What, are you going to challenge the rules here and force me with your strength?"

Cangming finally suppressed some of his anger: "Do you know who I am?"

Hua Changxi: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Cangming was so angry at Hua Changxi's attitude that he wanted to take action, but he held back: "I want the most precious thing on you. You can name your price."

Hua Changxi: "The most precious thing I have is myself. You can't afford me!"

The powerful figures on the auction floor had already turned their attention to this direction.

At first, the powerful figures were all puzzled to see Cangming getting into a fight with a minor ghost.

Seeing that this lowly ghost dared to challenge Cangming to his face was truly astonishing. The powerful figures were already surprised that he could produce artifacts from various races of the Nine Netherworlds, and now they were even more curious about him.

In the Styx Clan, Cangming has always been a man of his word, and now, after being repeatedly refuted and provoked by Hua Changxi, his anger has reached its peak.

Although violence was prohibited during the auction, he still wanted to use his secret technique to teach this guy a lesson.

However, before he could make a move, the aura of a powerful figure descended upon him.

"Whoo~"

A large, jet-black sedan chair, shrouded in ghostly energy, descended from the sky and landed steadily outside the auction venue.

Ghost King!

A demon king has appeared among the demons!

Upstairs at the auction, the expressions of all the powerful figures from the Nine Netherworlds and the mortal realm became solemn.

Upon seeing Su Mingyue step out of the sedan chair, Cangming narrowed his eyes, and Hua Changxi's eyelids twitched as well.

"Wow~"

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the Ghost King's arrival, a piercing bird cry that shook the very soul resounded in the sky.

The next moment, a large black bird with nine heads swooped down under the solemn gazes of the crowd.

After landing, the nine-headed bird transformed into a man in black robes.

Ghostly Chariot Howls!

Although Mo Xiao is not a King Realm expert, he is at the peak of the Commander Realm. Moreover, he possesses a sonic divine power that specifically attacks the soul, making him extremely difficult to defeat in battle.

As another powerful figure arrived, Hua Changxi's heart began to race.

Are the Styx Man, the Ghost King, and the Ghost Chariot here for the Azure Pass group?

Hua Changxi was starting to regret it. If she had known that the powerful beings of the Nine Netherworlds cared so much about the azure light cluster, and had chased it all the way from the fifth level of the Nine Netherworlds to the Demon Prison, she wouldn't have tried to steal it!

Su Mingyue glanced at the ghost carriage and prepared to enter the auction site. Behind her were a dozen ghost generals, including Lady White Bone, whom Hua Changxi knew.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

"Boom!"

A crimson sword beam, carrying a pressure that shook mountains, tore through the air and struck Su Mingyue and her group directly.

"Blood Flower, do you insist on opposing me?"

Su Mingyue roared, and a pitch-black ghost claw materialized out of thin air, swirling with a chilling ghostly aura as it slammed into the sword light.

"Hiss~"

The sword's edge shattered, transforming into a rain of crimson light that filled the sky.

"How ridiculous! The Ghost Clan destroyed my clone. I won't be satisfied until I've killed enough of the Ghost Clan."

In the void, a stunningly beautiful woman stood suspended in mid-air, her red dress fluttering in the wind. Her body was surrounded by blooming spider lilies, their red color both eerie and dazzling.

As she spoke, Lady Bi'anhua's long sword continued to strike, countless blood-red sword beams pouring down like a torrential rain, each containing overwhelming killing intent, rushing straight towards Su Mingyue and her group of ghosts.

Su Mingyue's eyes narrowed, and she sprang up to attack Xue Hua, no longer able to spare any attention to protect the other ghosts.

Just as a crimson sword beam was about to slash towards the direction where Lady White Bone was located...

"Buzz!"

A demon standing beside Lady White Bone suddenly raised his hand and summoned a snow-white bone umbrella.

The bone umbrella suddenly unfolded, its surface swirling with mysterious runes, directly and steadily blocking the crimson sword light.

"What a powerful defensive magic weapon! It can block the attack of a King Realm (Concentration Realm) expert. Its grade must be at least sixth grade."

Upstairs in the human world auction house, after the ghost clan took out the bone umbrella, Tong Yao's gaze was immediately drawn to it: "It seems to be made of dragon bones."

Jing Liao, sitting next to Tong Yao, focused her attention on the runes on the bone umbrella: "Judging from the runes on the bone umbrella, it seems that the bone umbrella is not from the Nine Netherworld."

Yan Zhenzhen said dismissively, "What's so strange about that? Many human cultivators use magic artifacts from the Nine Netherworlds, so it's perfectly normal for the ghost race to use human magic artifacts instead."

Tong Yao, however, had other ideas and immediately sent a telepathic message to his two friends: "I heard that all the major powers have sent people to infiltrate the Nine Netherworld."

Yan Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly lit up: "The Nine Netherworld experts have suddenly arrived in person. Do you think it might be to pursue 'that human'?"

Jing and Tong Yao both shook their heads and chuckled upon hearing this.

"That rumor is too exaggerated and unbelievable." (End of Chapter)
