Until Lu Ye left, Ruxue stood in the quiet room, still feeling dizzy and her legs weak.

Who wouldn't feel weak-kneed in this situation?

A crystal core equivalent to a Grandmaster Late Stage; even if its owner has died, the faint energy it emits is enough to make her, in the Postnatal Realm, feel extremely uneasy!

"Did he kill it himself, or was it his powerful background that did it?"

After thinking for a moment, Ruxue concluded that it was probably his background that took action, which matched her previous speculations that this person's background... is quite powerful!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate such a young Martial Dao Grandmaster like the Celestial Profound Sect.

It's worth noting that Chen Beixuan's ranking and realm are higher than Fang Zhiyu of the Celestial Profound Sect!

Clearing her thoughts, Ruxue quickly added these energy-rich crystal cores to the auction.

...

At the auction hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands, it was now fully seated, with only a few reserved boxes, most of which were already occupied.

Watching Lu Ye leave and return, Chen Lingxiang poured him a cup of tea without asking anything, quietly sitting next to him.

Having spent so much time with Lu Ye, Chen Lingxiang knew that no matter the matter, she didn't need to speak unnecessarily; when Lu Ye intended to tell her something, he would.

In the neighboring box, the Wuxiang Sect, being a first-rate sect in the Northern Territory, had also received a silver card from Bai Chuan Commerce Association.

At this moment, a group of Wuxiang Sect disciples was in the box, waiting nervously and curiously for the auction to start.

In the auction hall, powerful auras were revealed, similar to those of Sect Elders and Vice Sect Leaders, appearing one after another, making these sect disciples inevitably nervous.

Jiang Lingyue was also a bit nervous, but amidst her nervousness, she took out a Communication Jade Token and sent Lu Ye several messages.

Jiang Lingyue: [Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Have you arrived at the auction? It's so lively!]

After two minutes, without receiving a reply, she continued to send messages.

[Hey? Where are you? Don't tell me you overslept? It's all my fault for being too fierce a few days ago, draining all your energy boo-hoo-hoo...]

[Brother-in-law... pay attention to me, I'm so bored.]

After sending three messages in a row without a reply, Jiang Lingyue bit her lip, feeling frustrated.

If he doesn't pay attention to her, next time she wouldn't be so cooperative!

In the neighboring box, Lu Ye saw the messages from Jiang Lingyue and shook his head slightly. This girl, is she that bored?

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye replied with a message.

[I'm here, I'm also at the auction.]

Just a very brief sentence, but upon receiving it, Jiang Lingyue, who was feeling frustrated, immediately brightened up.

She thought such boring messages wouldn't get Lu Ye to respond.

Next time... she'll still cooperate next time!

...

When Ruxue took the stage at the auction, the noisy hall immediately quieted significantly, signifying that the main event was about to begin with the auctioneer's appearance.

As the large auction hall fell completely silent, Ruxue displayed a professional smile.

"Distinguished guests, who have traveled from afar to attend this grand trading event, it is a fate that brings you to our Bai Chuan Auction House."

"Ruxue understands that you all aren't interested in pleasantries, so without further ado, let's start with the first auction item."

Hearing this, there were cheers from the crowd. As Bai Chuan Commerce Association's top auctioneer, Ruxue was not only pleasing to the eye but also extremely competent professionally.

Not spewing nonsense is also a point well-received by everyone.

The first auction item was a spear that reached the Profound Tier Lower Grade. Spear-type weapons were relatively rare and quickly piqued the interest of many.

The seller's requirements were simple; silver or Spirit Medicine and Elixirs were acceptable.

...

As the auction proceeded enthusiastically, a tall figure in a palace gown descended outside East Cang City.

The person who arrived in East Cang City was the Red Cloud Fairy.

After exiting the Black Tide Forbidden Land, she changed out of the black robe and into a red palace gown.

Gazing at the massive city in the distance illuminated by a Lighting Array, the Red Cloud Fairy, intending to enter East Cang City, furrowed her brows and looked to her rear left.

There... was a powerful aura rapidly approaching!

Moments later, when the Red Cloud Fairy saw the scene, her expression subtly changed.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with purple hair, who faced the legendary Red Cloud Fairy of the Northern Territory without being outdone in aura.

Looking at the Red Cloud Fairy standing in the sky with a solemn expression, the purple-haired man sneered, "Isn't this the renowned Sect Leader of the Red Cloud Sect who dominates the Northern Territory?"

"What, waiting here especially for me, planning to have the Red Cloud Sect submit to me?"

"Zi Wuji, you still only know how to boast with your words." The Red Cloud Fairy's eyes turned cold.

Zi Wuji, Sect Leader of the Purple Origin Sect in the Western Territory, had a status on par with the Red Cloud Sect within the Western Territory.

"Red Cloud, I just don't want to resort to violence with you. Whether words or hands, you cannot match me." Zi Wuji coldly laughed, looking at the Red Cloud Fairy in her red palace gown. "Rejecting Qingxuanzi, that useless fellow's pursuit, was the only correct decision you've made."

"Xuanzhou's waters run deep, yet you grasp them not. Should you join my Purple Origin Sect, our combined strength could gather both sects' resources, potentially grooming a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

Zi Wuji clasped his hands behind his back, saying, "When that time comes, one Grandmaster lifting another is not impossible."

"Oh? One Grandmaster lifting another?" The Red Cloud Fairy's eyes flashed with amusement. "Who would this leading Grandmaster be?"

"Naturally, it would be me." Zi Wuji said, "Red Cloud, though you're at the Grandmaster Seventh Layer, now... you're no longer a match for me."

"Let's see how strong you truly are!" The Red Cloud Fairy's eyes turned cold, her jade-like hand extending with a surge of terrifying Source Qi.

Boom!

The Red Cloud Fairy wasted no words, sending a palm strike toward Zi Wuji.

Faced with a strike that could make anyone below the Grandmaster Seventh Layer pale, Zi Wuji looked disdainful, merely drawing a hand from behind his back.

The vast purple Source Qi mixed with a barely noticeable trace of black directly collided with the rushing Red Cloud Fairy!

In an instant, the Red Cloud Fairy's former icy expression suddenly changed, unable to stop herself from spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"You've already reached the Grandmaster Eighth Layer? And it's at Perfection?!"

The previously equal-realm Zi Wuji, unseen for some time, had now far surpassed her?!

For the always confident Red Cloud Fairy, being left so far behind by someone of the same realm was quite a blow.

Zi Wuji's expression remained unchanged as he sneered, "I told you, Red Cloud, times have changed! If you cannot keep pace, you'll be left behind!"

"Out of our long acquaintance, I advised merging. Otherwise, on that day, how can a small Red Cloud Sect remain unaffected?"

Ready to say more, suddenly, Zi Wuji's arrogant face subtly shifted; with a deep voice, he said, "Consider this matter carefully, as I have important business and must leave."

Meanwhile.

In the auction hall, it was Lu Ye's evil crystal cores' turn to be auctioned.

Among them was the Human-faced Evil Crystal Core that reached the Grandmaster Late Stage, exuding an eerie, terrifying aura!
