The Blood Evil Sect Leader... a peak Martial Arts Grandmaster of the First Layer Realm.

Hearing the young man from the Blood Evil Sect mention this title, many felt a slight chill in their hearts.

Some Innate level powers who originally intended to go all-in for the Innate Source-Breaking Pill now hesitated.

Not to mention whether they could afford to win the auction, even if they did... could they bring it back to their power base?

After all, some powers had those in the Innate Ninth Layer but not yet in Perfection and could not consume the elixir immediately—they were considering future prospects.

The young man from the Blood Evil Sect glanced around with a bloodthirsty aura and noticed the dwindling bids, leaving only a few remaining, as he smiled smugly.

In the vast Northern Territory, spanning a hundred thousand miles, Innate Realm experts were many, but Grandmasters were rare!

The deterrence of one Grandmaster was enough to make ninety percent of the Innate powers tremble.

...

Ultimately, the Blood Evil Sect secured the Innate Source-Breaking Pill for one billion and ten million taels.

However, this price left the Blood Evil Sect party somewhat dissatisfied.

"That person who previously robbed the storage ring, and the Qiu Family from Celestial Eagle City, ten thousand miles away..." the Blood Evil Sect youth said coldly, "After sending the Innate Source-Breaking Pill back, we'll find a chance to deal with these two groups."

If those who opposed them the fiercest faced no retribution, the Blood Evil Sect's fearsome reputation would diminish considerably.

Reduced intimidation is not good for the Blood Evil Sect.

Of course, the young man from the Blood Evil Sect had some sense and didn't choose to act immediately after obtaining the Source-Breaking Pill.

The Innate Source-Breaking Pill is equally invaluable to the Blood Evil Sect and cannot suffer any mishaps!

Ten minutes later.

The monthly auction concluded in a tense atmosphere.

The Qiu Family from Celestial Eagle City, a top Innate clan ten thousand miles away, had traveled so far upon hearing the news that Bai Chuan Commerce Association would auction an Innate Source-Breaking Pill.

After all, the patriarch of the Qiu Family was in the Innate Ninth Layer Perfection but had been stuck there for many years.

Previous attempts to break through had ended in failure, requiring the Qiu Family to expend vast resources to help the patriarch recover.

The intense desire for this Innate Source-Breaking Pill led the Qiu Family to continue bidding even as others gradually withdrew.

Had they not existed longer than most Innate clans, they could not have amassed such terrifying funds.

Even so, they still failed to outbid one of the four major powers of the Realm of Chaos.

Additionally, they offended the vindictive Blood Evil Sect.

As they hurried out of the auction hall, the members of the Qiu Family appeared dejected.

Given the Blood Evil Sect's propensity for ambushes, whether they could return to Celestial Eagle City alive was uncertain.

Nonetheless, no matter how difficult, they had to try and not simply await death.

A moment later, the six of them devised a plan to split up and flee!

In groups of three, to avoid being easily captured, with luck, at least one team could return to Celestial Eagle City to preserve some strength.

"Elder, you take the second young master southward, we'll head west. If fortune smiles upon us, we'll meet at the inn in Linmu Town, five thousand miles away."

"Alright, there's no time to lose; let's move while those Blood Evil Sect mongrels haven't acted yet! Go!"

A moment later, the two groups did their utmost to escape ten thousand miles back to Celestial Eagle City.

...

Elsewhere, the Blood Evil Sect members had also changed their appearance, looking entirely different from before.

"Hmph, those fools probably think we'll chase after the people from Celestial Eagle City, or those idiots who dared to bid during the auction," the Blood Evil Sect youth sneered.

With the Innate Source-Breaking Pill in hand, delivering it first was the correct action.

They think the Blood Evil Sect are brainless idiots who only know how to kill!

In reality, those who think they only mindlessly kill are the truly foolish ones.

A hint of pride surfaced on the Blood Evil Sect youth's face; this plan, aside from their own team, was something no one expected.

By the time others reacted, he would have already sent the Innate Source-Breaking Pill to the Realm of Chaos.

This careful maneuver wasn't due to fearing the Celestial Eagle City people or other Innate forces.

Rather, it was to guard against the other three major forces of the Realm of Chaos!

None of the four major forces in the Realm of Chaos wanted to see the emergence of another Martial Arts Grandmaster.

At this time, the Blood Evil Sect party had already left Cloud Leaf City, taking a secluded path.

Concerning those who dared to challenge the Blood Evil Sect, there would be ample time for retribution later.

At that moment, just as they passed through a not-so-dense forest, an unassuming middle-aged man in the group suddenly looked ahead with a grave expression.

"Stop, there's someone ahead... seems to be coming for us."

Upon hearing this, two Innate members of the group were startled.

They were outwardly Innate Fourth Layer and Sixth Layer, but also had a disguised Innate Ninth Layer Middle Stage carrying a Profound Tier Magical Artifact, in case they failed to bid for the Source-Breaking Pill and had to resort to snatching it.

This middle-aged man disguised as a Postnatal Ninth Layer was the Blood Evil Sect's ultimate trump card in this mission!

At the forest exit stood a black-clad figure who seemed to have been waiting for some time.

The Blood Evil Sect members weren't fools; such attire and appearing ahead indicated clear intent.

"Second Elder, can you discern this person's cultivation?" the Blood Evil Sect youth whispered.

The middle-aged man disguised as Postnatal Ninth Layer carefully sensed, then shook his head gravely.

The other side was like a bottomless pit, rendering his Spiritual Sense probes completely ineffective.

The situation indicated two possibilities: the opponent's Concealment Technique was too overwhelming.

Or... their power was unfathomable!

"Friend, we are from Qinghe County and have urgent matters; we hope you'll allow passage."

After some thought, the middle-aged man decided to test with a fake identity, to gauge the opponent's reaction before determining the next step.

In the open space at the forest exit, the black-clad person, watching the scenery, turned calmly.

The next instant, the black-clad figure simply vanished before their eyes.

The Blood Evil Sect middle-aged man's heart quaked intensely; before shouting "be alert and prepare for action," his heart suddenly burst open, and he fell instantly.

The previously confident and smug Blood Evil Sect youth seemed to have seen a God of Slaughter from hell, rendered utterly stupified.

The Second Elder, Innate Ninth Layer Middle Stage, who once even slew a Ninth Layer Late Stage...

Couldn't withstand a single move from the opponent, killed in an instant!

This kind of power, even his uncle, the Blood Evil Sect Leader, couldn't achieve!!
