C98

One suggestion was that the bid should be replaced by a capital raising.

The bidding was banned. There were no more placings, and the high-level rogue cultivators that were wholeheartedly interested in obtaining Shentu Shun were very dissatisfied.

With Shang Ming as their leader, the high-level cultivators in the world were very satisfied.

With the premise that Chi Dan Zhen knew where Shentu Shentu was, the bidding price was limited to five spots. Even after many bloody battles, not many people would be able to find Shentu Shun's location.

Shentu Shun's whereabouts were too important. The fewer people who knew about his whereabouts, the greater the chances of them obtaining Shentu Shun.

The imagination was very full, the reality was very solid.

When Chi Dan started to treat Shentu Shun's whereabouts as a deal, more and more people would know about it. Sooner or later, the news would spread and everyone would know about it.

Unless, after Chi Dan told him where Shentu Shun was, he was silenced.

In order to take the life of the Demon King, the cultivators of the sect, the rogue cultivators and the rogue cultivators all had their own ways of doing things. Killing a Scarlet Core cultivator to silence them could only be imagined.

Shang Ming had long thought that Shentu Shun's whereabouts would one day spread throughout the world. Thus, he suggested to raise funds and disintegrate the schemes of the demons in his imagination.

Dissolving a conspiracy, Shang Ming was satisfied, many people were dissatisfied.

Even if the news were to spread across the world sooner or later, there would be a time when they would first obtain Shentu Shun and then hide in cultivation. By the time everyone knew about it, it would be too late.

Sooner or later, news of Shentu Shun's whereabouts would reach the ears of the tribulation cultivators. When that time came, there would definitely be a lot of tribulation cultivators fighting over him.

Only the cultivators who had reached the tribulation stage were unaware of this. They were faster than them in finding Shentu Shun and taking him away.

Once the tribulation cultivators knew of Shentu Shentu's whereabouts and participated in the competition, the hundreds of high-level cultivators would act like a hundred thousand exploited low-level cultivators, only helping others.

He was only interested in raising funds for the sake of getting Shentu Shun, and that was because he was worried about helping others.

The gathering of funds had already been completed. Once the transaction with the Scarlet Core was successful, under the pressure of all the cultivators in the city, it would definitely inform all the cultivators in the city of Shentu Shun's whereabouts.

No matter how unsatisfied the crowd was, they had no choice but to terminate the transaction.

At this critical moment of the transaction, the hundreds of high-level cultivators, anyone who came out to stop the transaction waiting for them, their deaths, would be their only end. There would be no exceptions.

If he wanted to stop the trade, he would have to get a cultivator from the tribulation period.

Would a cultivator in the heavenly tribulation stage appear?

Hundreds of high-level cultivators had been anticipating it, but the tribulation stage cultivators had never appeared.

All of their savings had been taken away, so the chances of obtaining Shentu Shun were slim to none. Those low level cultivators had always been looking forward to it.

Before they pooled their funds, they looked forward to the appearance of the tribulation cultivators, hoping to use the momentum to obtain Shentu Shun's whereabouts. After they pooled their funds, they looked forward to the tribulation cultivators coming out to intercept them.

Perhaps it was the fault of hundreds of high-level cultivators, or perhaps it was the wrath of the heavens, or perhaps it was the sincerity of the low level cultivators in praying that the heavens pitied them.

"..."

"Master, please tell us where Shentu Shun is!"

Including the high-grade storage pendant, there were more than a hundred top-grade spirit stones in the collection. As a temporary representative, the high-grade storage pendant was temporarily in Shang Ming's custody.

In any case, there were hundreds of high-level cultivators and 100,000 low-level cultivators present. No one was worried that he would run away with his storage necklace, it would be fine as long as he wasn't in their hands.

The hot potato had fallen into his hands. Shang Ming really wanted the trade to start as soon as possible. The faster he left, the better.

"Give me the spirit stones!"

In the past, he had dreamt of a mountain of Spirit Stones. But now, it was no longer a dream. Chi Dan's eyes shone, and he forced himself not to spit out the words.

"Lord, this..."

It would be unfair to hand over the spirit stones without Shentu Shun's whereabouts. Shang Ming hesitated.

"Why?"

"Are you worried This King will run away?"

"Hand it over!"

All along, it had always been the Scarlet Pills that dominated everything. In critical moments, one had to be tough. Once someone led them by the nose, they would inevitably be passive.

Who knew where Shentu Shun was? Anyway, it didn't know.

He didn't know where Shentu Shun was, so he was in a passive position. If he was careless for a moment, then someone would see through him, and he wouldn't be able to obtain the spirit stones.

"My lord, please keep your promise!"

Upon being questioned, Shang Ming felt embarrassed.

Spirit Stones did not belong to him alone, so he had to ask for everyone's permission. Gathering 100 top quality spirit stones was for the sake of getting Shentu Shun's location. No matter what the Chi Dan wanted, they could only allow it.

He could only be at ease and hand over the spirit stones. After all, if Chi Dan were to say that Shentu Shun's whereabouts were false, he could not be blamed for taking the initiative to make the decision.

"Sure!"

He believed that Little Dan would definitely "keep her word" and tell him about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, telling a very pleasant story.

No one believed that it would not hesitate to tell a more pleasant story. After all, it had once said that it was all for real.

With his dignity, Shang Ming respected Chi Dan very much. He did not dare to underestimate him and intended to personally hand the Spatial Necklace to him instead of throwing it to him.

Once the Scarlet Core obtained the spirit stones and told them where Shentu Shun was, the transaction would be completed.

"Hold on!"

Just at that moment, a voice rang out, and when the Spatial Necklace fell into the hands of Chi Dan, he was caught off guard, and the Spatial Necklace broke free from Shang Ming's grasp and quickly flew away.

What was going on?

Why did the Spatial Necklace fly away?

Everyone followed the direction of the sound and looked at the path that the Spatial Necklace was flying.

The Spatial Necklace flew into the air and a figure suddenly appeared in the air and grabbed it.

A voice sounded as the Spatial Necklace flew into the air, and a figure appeared.

The person had appeared without any warning. There was not a single cultivator in the hundreds who could sense his presence. If his invisibility was not excellent, then he must be a cultivator in the tribulation stage.

The speed at which he snatched away the high grade storage necklace was extremely fast, so fast that no one could stop him in time. Hundreds of high-level cultivators were unable to see his cultivation, and from this, they were certain that he was a tribulation cultivator.

Not only had the tribulation stage cultivator seen it before, he had even fought with it before. Even though he had lost, Chi Dan had never been afraid of it.

"Who the hell dares to spoil my plans!?"

The person was abnormally thin and wore a black Daoist robe. The robe did not have any special sect symbol, meaning that he was not a cultivator from the sect.

His hair was tied up in a bun, and his hair was pure white. The wrinkles on his forehead were deep, and his eyeballs were protruding. His face was very wrinkled, and lacked the vigor of a young person.

"Tribulation Realm cultivator!"

"Senior Wu Lun!"

Someone recognized the person who had arrived and subconsciously shouted to inform Chi Dan of his identity.

"Fellow Daoist, our statuses are about the same, so why do we have to lose our statuses and be despised by others?" The first mistake was that he would be scolded. He didn't have the choice to scold Chi Dan because of his identity.

"So it turns out that you're an unlucky fellow Daoist. I've heard a lot about you!"

It was rumored in the martial world that 200 years ago, no happiness had been lost. He had never thought that he would still be alive today.

A person who had disappeared for two hundred years was already a dead person in the eyes of the world. A dead person might remember but not necessarily talk about it.

Chi Dan had only been born five years ago. How could he possibly have heard of someone from two hundred years ago? From the fact that he had purposefully called him by the wrong name, it could be seen that he was lying.

"Little Dan, don't be rude to senior!"

A cultivator in the tribulation stage was someone who had yet to enter the Hollow Jade Sect to cultivate. He wasn't clear about his cultivation level, and even if he wasn't clear about his cultivation level, it didn't affect his judgement at all.

Since he was a child, for some reason, his perception had always been superior.

After seeing Elder Zhang make a move yesterday, and seeing that Unhappiness had also made a move just now, the reaction of the crowd had made the unhappiness even more intense. This meant that his cultivation was much higher than before.

It was extremely difficult for Little Dan to take Elder Zhang's blow. If he could take it without any blessings, it would be even more difficult.

If Little Dan was unable to handle the situation, he would at least have the Hollow Jade Sect step in to take care of the aftermath.

If they were to offend a tribulation cultivator and get into trouble, they might not be able to wait for the Hollow Jade Sect to step in and take care of them. They would really leave their lives here.

Facing such a sudden appearance of a tribulation stage cultivator, Little Dan dared to tease and insult him.

Compared to Tian Ci, Huo Luan was much calmer.

The sudden appearance of a cultivator in the tribulation stage must have been due to Shentu Shun's whereabouts. Before obtaining Shentu Shun's whereabouts, one had to endure even the most outrageous actions, not to mention cursing and mocking.

200 years ago, Lu Ding was still a little cultivator. Not only had he heard that there was no happiness, he had also met fate several times. He admired that there was no happiness, but he also felt sympathy for that there was no happiness.

He had never thought that after two hundred years, the senior he once admired was still alive. He was very surprised.

Huo Luan was calm and composed while Lu Ding was surprised. Compared to them, what could hundreds of high level cultivators or 100,000 low level cultivators be like?

Hundreds of high-level cultivators were fearless, nervous, calm, and flabbergasted. They had all sorts of feelings. In short, no one would be happy if a powerful opponent appeared.

Now that the storage necklace was in their hands, they were even more unhappy.

Some people were unhappy, but there were always others who were happy.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp drink water.

With their savings being exploited, the low level cultivators had been anticipating for the appearance of the big fish. The long-awaited tribulation stage cultivators had finally appeared and successfully cut off the beard. They were the happiest ones.

With the appearance of a cultivator in the tribulation stage, low level cultivators did not dare to hope for Shentu Shun anymore. They could only hope for Senior Lucky to take over Shentu Shun's position and teach him a ruthless lesson.

If they could see hundreds of high-level cultivators suffering retribution, they would be happier.

He didn't care about the feelings of others as he came here alone. There was only one legend that he cared about, and that was the main character of that legend.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The old Daoist is unlucky and blessed. The lack of happiness has nothing to do with the old Daoist!"

He hadn't traveled in this world for 200 years. The world had gone through ups and downs, and many people still remembered that he was once angry to the heavens and only wanted good fortune for his beauties. It was probably because of that, he was already a dead man in the eyes of the world.

Perhaps time had calmed his spirit, but after being mocked, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he nodded in good will towards Heaven's Gift and began to joke around.
