"Is it related to your Blood Lotus? The one that doesn't know yours is a variant of the World-Destroying Red Lotus, right?" Ye Chu asked in surprise.
Hongliu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that scary. If my sister was the World-Destroying Red Lotus, those eight Black Demon Immortals would have been finished long ago. It would be their turn to be arrogant..."
"It's just that those guys, where did they get the Shadow of the Blade of Destruction? If they really have the original blade of the Blade of Destruction, then I will really be in big trouble this time." Ye Chu grinned.
"It's not you who got into big trouble, it's us who got into big trouble..." Hongliu corrected him.
Ye Chu smiled: "It seems that sister is planning to share the difficulties with me. How about you consider marrying me, giving me a few children, and taking away the troubles we have on the way..."
"Do you dare?" Hongliu turned pale and asked him with a smile.
Ye Chu immediately stretched out his hand and said, "What do I dare not do? As long as you agree, sister, we will fall in love with it vigorously..."
"Haha, no matter how grand it is, it will be nothing in the end."
There was a silent dejection in Hongliu's tone, and Ye Chu couldn't figure it out. There must be something else that this woman was hiding from him.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The demonic aura on her body has been eliminated, the curse has been lifted, and now it's time for her to be reborn. Why is she still like this?
Ye Chu didn't ask any more questions. There were some things that she would naturally say when she wanted to say them, so she didn't have to force them.
In the next few days, the two of them rested here, Ye Chu was also in retreat, and Hongliu was recovering from his injuries.
At this time, outside Ruoshui City, the eight Black Demon Immortals gathered together again.
"How's it going over there?"
"Did you find anything?"
"No, there's no clue at all..."
"It's really troublesome this time. We didn't even see the woman clearly. This is really a ghost..."
The eight people were very depressed. They had been searching for several days, using their master's hair, but there was no movement at all. No trace of Ye Chu or Hongliu was found.
They have searched within tens of millions of miles, but still found nothing.
One of them said: "What should we do? Now that the altar has been taken away, a trace of my Lord's soul is still in the altar. Without the sacrifice of life, how can my Lord be resurrected..."
"If that's the case, we can only think of another way."
One of the leaders, the Black Demon Immortal, said: "If all the strong men from all walks of life have entered the Ten Thousand Realms and entered the road to immortality, and now there are a lot of eyes staring at the immortal road, that woman has such strong strength, she must not be ordinary.
Generations, maybe she will appear in the near future."
"What do you mean, chief?"
Another asked: "Will they appear on the Road to Immortality?"
"Definitely."
Another person analyzed: "The Road to Immortality will appear soon, and countless powerful people will flock to the Road to Immortality. Moreover, there are many restrictions on the Road to Immortality. Those who have not reached the cultivation level of the Great Demon God will basically have no chance to set foot on the Road to Immortality.
, that woman will definitely appear."
"Well, let's wait for her on the Road to Eternal Life. As soon as she appears, we will work together to kill her." Another person said.
The leader said: "It's not that easy to kill her. We must make complete preparations. We need to draw a few more shadows of the Blade of Destruction from outside the territory and condense them into a magic knife."
"This is feasible, but the shadow of the knife is not easy to draw..."
Another person said: "Without my lord's soul in hand, with the strength of the eight of us, if we go to get the sword shadow, we will have a narrow escape..."
"That's true..."
The leader thought for a while and then said: "That's it, the eight of us will form the Black Demon Immortal. Let's go into the Tomb of the Undead and get another piece of my lord's soul..."
"Back to the Tomb of the Undead?"
One person was shocked: "Chief, the risk of the Immortal Tomb is no less than that of the Domain of Destruction..."
"Twelve of us went in last time, but now there are only eight of us left. If there are more casualties..."
The rest of the people didn't want to go to the Tomb of the Undead. Hundreds of years ago, twelve of them worked together to enter the Tomb of the Undead, resulting in the death and injury of four of their companions.
Now that there are only eight of them, it will be even more difficult to enter. If four or five more people are killed or injured, it will be a big deal. No one wants to die.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
The leader reassured the others: "If you want to enter the Tomb of the Undead, even if you don't have my Lord's soul in hand, if you can find the Phoenix, you can still go straight to the bottom of the tomb..."
"Phoenix?"
Several people's eyes lit up: "The phoenix is fine, but it has been extinct for a long time. Do you know where the phoenix is, leader?"
"Well, let's take a trip now to get the phoenix."
The leader waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the air. Eight people jumped into it at the same time and disappeared.
"What's going on? Just now..."
"An invincible strong man has entered the void..."
"Damn it, haven't these guys left yet?"
"Ruoshui City has been destroyed, everything has been destroyed, our home..."
"Damn guy..."
Tens of millions of immortal cultivators have returned near Ruoshui City. However, today's Ruoshui City has changed beyond recognition. A large number of buildings in the city have collapsed, and ravines have appeared in the city, as well as mounds of earth.
High mountains.
"Everyone, let's work together to rebuild our home. With the strength of tens of millions of us, it won't be difficult to build another Ruoshui City. It will be done within a few months..."
"That's right, let's work together."
"good!"
These immortal cultivators have been cultivating here all year round, and most of them were even born and raised here. They are reluctant to leave their hometown, because they are all immortal cultivators, and it is not difficult to build a city.
What's more, there are tens of millions of people. Immediately, people from the former city lord's palace in Ruoshui City appeared. As leaders, they began to distribute tasks. People from all the major families in the city were also in place and began to rebuild their homes.
…
In the Holy City of Nanfeng, in the evening, the city was bustling with people again, and powerful people from all walks of life entered the city.
Another year's auction is about to begin. In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Hong Qi and his wife Po'er have been sitting here for a while and have not set off to the auction yet.
"Father, mother, why don't you go? The auction is about to start..."
A tall and graceful beauty appeared in the back garden. It was their daughter Hong Wuyou who came over.
"What's the rush? Wait until the auction starts soon before going in." Hong Qi waved his hand and motioned for his daughter to sit down.
"Aren't you in a hurry? It's only half an hour, right?" Hong Wuyou was speechless.
Po'er pulled her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea: "Why are you so anxious? You also want to see the treasure?"
"Who doesn't want to see it..."
Hong Wuyou said: "More than a billion people from the outer lands and various divine cities have come to our city. Aren't they all here to watch this auction? The population in the city is already overflowing. If this continues, we will build more outer lands."
The city is here."
"That's true. It seems that you have done some homework over the years."
Po'er was quite pleased to see that her daughter could still talk about these changes. Hong Wuyou received the praise and said with a proud smile: "That's natural. I'm not my father's and mother's precious daughter. I will do it for you no matter what."
You two share your worries, you can't live without worries every day..."
"Looking at what you said, it seems you like worrying..."
Hong Qi also smiled helplessly: "The auction venue is a mixed bag and full of dangers. You'd better not go there..."
"That's not possible. I can just follow my father and mother..."
How could Hong Wuyou agree: "I have been waiting for a whole year, just looking forward to this auction, and now I am told not to go, how can I bear it..."
"There's nothing that can't be tolerated. Auctions happen every year, so there's no year we can't watch them..." Hong Qi said.
"But Wuyou wants to see it any year..."
Hong Wuyou's words left Hong Qi and his wife speechless. Po'er could only say to her daughter: "You can come with us, but after reading this, you must enter our universe immediately to ensure safety."
"Don't worry, mother. Mother is the best. You'er hasn't done this before. I know all this." Hong Wuyou is not stupid either.
She is now at this age, almost over a hundred years old, and has attended many auctions with her parents. Basically, something happens at the auction venue or in the city during those few days every year.
She has seen a lot of killers, so she naturally knows how much danger is hidden behind this bustling auction.
"By the way, my Uncle Ye hasn't come back yet?" Hong Wuyou asked again.
Po'er was stunned and said, "Uncle Ye?"
"You mean Ye Chu?" Some black lines flew across Hong Qi's forehead.
If Ye Chu heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. He hated people calling him uncle or uncle the most.
That kid is very narcissistic, always thinking that he is still very young, and claiming to be a junior and a junior every day.
"From now on, I'll call him Brother Chu, don't call him uncle." Po'er also knew Ye Chu quite well.
"Uh, why, he's already four thousand years old, and I still call him brother?"
Hong Wuyou was speechless: "Even calling him ancestor is probably not an exaggeration..."
"You can try shouting like that, and don't ask me to save you then..." Hong Qi smiled.
"I was just joking, father, how could I be so rude? Isn't he your good brother? It's okay for me to call him uncle." Hong Wuyou grinned.
She also knew that Ye Chu was not easy to mess with.
"Forget it, call him uncle, but you can consider calling him father..."
Hong Qi brought up this issue again: "Ye Duan is a good boy, and he is extremely talented. It is not unfair for you to marry him."
In the early years, they wanted to facilitate the marriage between Ye Chu's son Ye Duan and their daughter, but their daughter did not agree, which made them very troubled.
"Father, you mentioned this matter again, how many years have passed..."
Hong Wuyou was helpless: "Okay, okay, I'm going to change my clothes first. When you go there later, take me with you..."
When it came to this matter, Hong Wuyou ran away quickly, not wanting to listen to his parents' nagging anymore.
"This child..."
Seeing Hong Wuyou like this, he seemed a little disgusted with Ye Duan, and Hong Qi also had a headache.
"That's all, it seems that she and Ye Duan really have no fate."
Mrs. Po'er was also helpless: "It's just a pity. I don't know what this child wants. We are really worried..."
"Isn't that right? What's wrong with Ye Duan? The young man is handsome and he is the son of Ye Chu and Mei'er. Our relationship with Mei'er and Ye Chu is so good..."
"Furthermore, Ye Duan is also extremely talented in cultivation. At such a young age, he is already at the ninth level of the Demon God. He will become a Great Demon God in a few years and will soon catch up with his father."
"Why don't you look down on this kid?" Hong Qi felt a headache just thinking about it.
He was completely satisfied with Ye Duan, but his daughter disagreed and looked down upon him.
"Hey, maybe Duan'er doesn't talk much."
Pu'er was also helpless: "Marriage still requires the consent of two people. As parents, we can't really decide their affairs. Otherwise, if the children are unhappy, we will suffer as well."
"That's true, I just feel it's a pity."
Hong Qi sighed: "We have been looking for so many young talents in the Holy City over the years. In terms of character, appearance, and background, there is really no one that makes us feel at ease."
"I really don't know if I can find a good family for this girl." In the years since their marriage to Ye Duan fell through, the couple has been looking for a suitable candidate.
"Maybe it's because we always compare them with Ye Duan, so no one can catch our eye." You'er could only sigh, "Maybe we should lower our requirements a little, or set up a competition for You'er.
Forget it..."
"Come on, let's go to the ring to get married..."
When Hong Qi heard this, his head hurt: "There are many experts, but few of them know the basics. Now most of the city is composed of outsiders. If we recruit a bride, we don't know who will be recruited by then. Forget it."
…”
"Hey, what do you think we should do? You are worrying here..." Po'er was speechless, "It won't work this way, that won't work either. I see, you are eager to marry off your daughter early so that you can
Don’t worry…”
"Why am I so eager..."
Hong Qi said: "That's what you want too. Besides, it's not like you don't understand You'er's temperament..."
"I'm afraid that if she meets some bad people one day, she will stupidly leave with them..."
"So, it's better to find someone who knows everything and marry her earlier." Hong Qi said.
"Come on you"...
Fu'er was a little speechless: "You'er is only a hundred years old and has a long journey to become an immortal. How old is he? He's just a child."
"Don't think too much." Po'er was a little angry.
"Hey, I won't mention this to you anymore. You will get angry when I mention this..."
Hong Qi was also a little impatient: "Let's go, the auction is about to start, let's not fight here, let's get down to business."
"I want you to go, it's so annoying, there are auctions every year, nothing new at all..." Po'er was also a little angry.
"I……"
Hong Qi was helpless, but before he was angry, his tone softened: "Good madam, don't be angry, okay? Now is the time to be angry. Come on, let's go, without my wife, how can I dare to show up as a husband...
…”
"When the time comes, those young girls will all be around their husbands, and they will be unable to resist them. The most beautiful lady must come out to suppress them..."
Hong Qi tried his best to flatter his wife for a while, and then Po'er followed him to the auction venue. Of course, he also brought his daughter Hong Wuyou with him before departure.
The family of three quickly arrived at the auction venue and sat in one of the subjective boxes. With everything in place, another year's Nanshang Auction began.
Under the attention of billions of people, the Nanshang Auction has finally begun. Under the eyes of everyone's expectations, small altars appeared in each box at the venue, as well as many viewing places in the city and outside the city.
Images of the big altar appeared.
This is equivalent to a live broadcast of a prosperous age, with billions of viewers, but the people at the auction venue are only a very small number. Most of them are in major viewing points in the city and outer cities, watching this prosperous age.
Auction.
Finally, a vague figure appeared on the altar, and a pleasant and clear voice came from inside.
"Welcome everyone, there are a total of 180 lots in this auction, which is 40% more than the previous number of lots. The time will be extended accordingly. Please wait patiently..."
The figure mentioned some changes in this auction, and the family of three in the main box here were also a little surprised.
"One hundred and eighty lots?"
Hong Wuyou muttered: "This auction is becoming more and more humane. Why does it feel like that figure in this auction is just standing there, staring at the venue..."
"Where to stand?"
The daughter's whisper reminded Fuler, and Fuler was shocked, as if she just remembered it.
"Yes, my daughter is right. This auction is becoming more and more user-friendly. It will be adjusted every year based on the situation of previous auctions. Obviously there is someone behind it, maybe in this city or nearby.
Look at the entire auction or the situation at the scene."
She immediately informed Hong Qi of this conjecture through sound transmission.
Hong Qi secretly sent a message back to her: "The old city lord has said a long time ago that things in this Immortal Road are not that simple. The auction has always been controlled by some super invincible forces, forces that we can't imagine."
"Of course they will send people to keep an eye on the area. It's just that we don't know where they are. This is nothing strange." Hong Qi had already thought of this.
"But if we can find the force behind it, does that mean..." An idea flashed across Po'er's mind.
Hong Qi immediately rejected her idea: "Don't think about this. So what if we find their people? Do we still have the strength to plunder all the treasures in their hands?"
"It's simply wishful thinking..."
"I'm just thinking about it..." Po'er smiled and thought to himself that he was indeed overthinking.
While Hong Qi looked at the light and shadow of the altar, Mrs. Chuanyin said: "It's impossible to think about it. We are just eating this bowl of rice now. Don't do anything. Even if we have this idea, they will probably guess it."
"When the time comes, the old city lord may not be able to keep my position. If I give up the annual income of hundreds of billions of spiritual stones, it will be a big loss." Hong Qi had his own thoughts.
"You are a big money addict now..." Po'er was also quite speechless.
Hong Qi smiled and was noncommittal. Isn't this a money man? He can earn hundreds of billions of spiritual stones every year without having to worry about too many things.
As long as I persevere and be a city lord for 180 years, my spiritual stones will be of a heavenly caliber by then, so why can't I do it?
He also thought about what he and Ye Chu had said, that if one day he no longer became the city lord, he would live in his world.
It can also be used in Ye Chu's Qiankun World, and so many spiritual stones can be used by many people for many years, making the Qiankun World become like a fairyland.
If you don't become a city lord, you can live in a fairyland. What's wrong with that?
Another Nanshang auction began. The figure finished explaining the rules and some changes in this auction, and then the first lot appeared on the altar.
In each box and in front of the large viewing screen outside, a three-dimensional altar appeared. The corresponding lot, as well as the aura and quality of the lot, would appear there.
Only those who can participate in the auction, but only those who can enter the venue, these big guys sitting in the box, have the opportunity to participate in the auction, and those outside are just watching.
"What is this..."
"A tree?"
"The smell of this little tree is so strange..."
"I feel like after watching it for a while, my soul is about to sublime..."
"It smells like the Bodhi tree. Isn't this the Bodhi tree?"
As soon as the first auction item appeared, countless people were amazed. Many people felt that their souls seemed to have been sublimated. They no longer had any worries and their mood was much strengthened.
"Father, mother, what kind of tree is this..."
Seeing that her parents' faces were a little solemn, Hong Wuyou also felt that this little tree was very strange. She asked them curiously.
"It's really possible..."
Hong Qi and Po Er looked at each other, and both of them saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
This time's auction seems to be a big show again, and this is the first lot.
Before they could answer Hong Wuyou, the female figure behind the altar explained, "This tree comes from a fairy land outside the region. It is called Bodhi Nan. It is a young branch of the Bodhi tree. It is a real fairy..."
"It turned out to be a Bodhi tree..."
"It is indeed a Bodhi tree, or a seedling..."
"What do you mean by just a collateral young plant?"
"Do you still need to explain? There must be many seedlings of the bodhi tree, with direct and collateral lines. This one should be a collateral line..."
"That's incredible. Anyone who gets this thing will feel extremely peaceful and will never go crazy again. It will be easier to break through..."
Countless people were talking about this tree, and a female voice spoke out the terms of the transaction: "This tree is exchanged for anything. Those who are interested will put the treasure into the altar. After evaluation, the most suitable thing will be exchanged."
As soon as he said this, Hong Wuyou beside him immediately threw a few mustard seeds into the altar.
"You'er, why are you throwing things away..."
Po'er was a little speechless, and Hong Wuyou chuckled and said, "I'm giving it a try anyway. None of it is good. If it doesn't work, they will return it. If it works, you'll win..."
