Chapter 1216 - Murder and Robbery? (1/2)

An Lin finally settled his gaze on thirty or so cultivators.

They were mostly seated in the Heaven and Earth tiers, and most of them had powerful cultivation bases or influential backgrounds.

“Heh, this is interesting…” An Lin squinted his eyes.

Bai Ling had told him that the enemy was most likely of the Soul Formation Stage. Thus, he could further narrow his list of suspects down to a small group of twenty cultivators.

Meanwhile, the bid for the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root had already surpassed three million spirit stones.

Huang Fuwen and a white-robed, fan-waving male were locked in a fierce bidding war.

An Lin learned of the Heaven-tier male’s identity by listening in on the conversations taking place around him. He was called Duan Feiyang, and he was the young sect leader of the Thunder State’s Divine Feather Sect.

An Lin’s eyes lit up.

Duan Feiyang was powerful and also had a strong background. Thus, it was very possible that he possessed a mystic technique that could increase his power to the level of Return to Void Stage… That’s right, Duan Feiyang was the prime suspect!

“However, he’s fairly fearless… He’s actually sitting here and casually partaking in an auction after doing such things. Is he looking down on my Four Nine Immortal Sect?”

An Lin’s expression became cold as he whispered to himself.

Meanwhile, Huang Fuwen and Duan Feiyang were still engaged in their intense bidding war.

Three million and five hundred thousand, three million and six hundred thousand, three million and seven hundred thousand…

Four million!

Five million!

Eventually, the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root was won by Duan Feiyang for a whopping five million spirit stones.

Duan Feiyang shot an angry glance at Huang Fuwen after winning the bidding war. Then, he started waving his feathered-fan elegantly.

If it weren’t for Huang Fuwen’s price-raising, he could have purchased the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root for a mere three million spirit stones!

Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Roots were extremely rare, and he was in desperate need of this treasure for his Frosty Divine Wing cultivation technique. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have purchased this item for a whopping five million spirit stones.

Huang Fuwen also glared at Duan Feiyang coldly. He also wanted this item. However, he didn’t have enough spirit stones in his storage ring…

“Detestable! Why are they all snatching the items that I want? I can’t accept this!”

“Calm down. Heaven will always leave a door open. We still have opportunities.”

Elder Ming’s voice sounded from the black pearl.

Huang Fuwen gradually calmed down after hearing this. A smile stretched across his face as he glanced at Duan Feiyang and An Lin. “That’s right, Heaven will indeed always leave a door open. We still have opportunities…”

The auction came to an end.

An Lin paid two million spirit stones and successfully obtained the Dao Integration Stage True Dragon’s bone marrow essence.

His mood immediately improved after obtaining this divine-rank material.

The cultivators started leaving the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda, and An Lin also tailed Duan Feiyang out.

“An Lin, the target is heading toward the south!”

Bai Ling’s voice traveled out from his voice transmission talisman.

An Lin smiled upon seeing Duan Feiyang’s flight direction.

Duan Feiyang was also flying toward the south! It seemed like the enemy was indeed him!

An Lin activated his Mist Immortal Technique and stealthily followed behind Duan Feiyang. After a while, they exited Huang Ji City and entered into the outskirts.
