Pa!

Dugu Ao sent Dugu Tianyu flying with a slap. “Who would agree to do that at such a grand auction?” He said coldly, “The treasures will be stored in the hands of several people in the team.”

“No matter how trustworthy that person is, their respective forces will not agree for a single person to hold all of the treasures!”

“Once they enter the city, they will find a place to take out the treasures and store them. They will also send people to guard them to prevent theft! That’s why I asked you to set up the formation. The items that are being auctioned this time, especially the drop of acquired poison from the Fierce Demon Palace and the Thousand Demon Ginseng from our Dugu family, are both priceless items. Even some of the old poison-type demonic beasts might covet them!”

“If these things are lost, will you be responsible? Or should I be responsible?”

Dugu Tianyu could only lower his head in silence.

A small-scale auction only required a few experts to deliver the treasures. However, this would be the largest auction to be held in the western region for the past 10,000 years!

No matter how trustworthy an expert was, they could not let a single bear the responsibility of holding the treasures. The things that were transported this time were all priceless, and anyone could be bought for the right price.

Therefore, it was best if the entire team watched over the treasures together.

“Grand Elder, I understand. I will carry out your instructions well,” Dugu Tianyu said respectfully.

“Wait!”

“By the way, where’s that little b*stard Ye Chen?” Dugu Ao’s expression was cold. He paused for a moment and said, “Rumor has it that he destroyed a branch of the Hall of Souls? Is there someone else backing him up?”

“I asked you to invite him to the auction, but change it to inviting him to participate in the auction!”

“If Ye Chen truly possesses more treasures now, he will want to auction them off. It’s best to deal with him at the auction. Since the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was established by three top-tier forces, its reputation is reliable. With this, we can trick him into coming!”

Dugu Ao thought for a while, “I’ll investigate who is supporting him. If we can handle it, we will unite all the forces and kill him!”

“It’s true that we middle-tier forces are not overlords, but our young master is not someone that a lowly b*stard like him can kill!”

“It’s time to settle our grudges. After all, which auction doesn’t end in a storm of blood?”

“Yes, Grand Elder!”

“That lowly b*stard deserves to be killed. It’s best to skin him alive and burn him with the flames of hell day and night until he turns into ashes!” Dugu Tianyu’s face was also filled with indignation and clenched his fists. His hatred for Ye Chen was obvious!

For many years, the Dugu family had been at war with the other forces, and there were indeed young masters who had died in battle.

However, without exception, they were all killed by the young masters of the other forces, some powerful Dao Integration realm experts, or even Creation realm experts.

Someone like Ye Chen was undeserving of that feat!

As such, not only did they have to kill Ye Chen, they had to torture and humiliate him in order to restore the dignity and reputation of the Dugu family. Otherwise, other undeserving people would try to replicate Ye Chen’s foolishness.

“Good!”

“Quickly make the arrangements!”

“Also, the person supporting Ye Chen is extremely daring. It’s very likely that he’s some sort of criminal from the Heaven Crushing Rankings. Stay alert and be wary of any ambushes on our forces or on the other five forces!” Dugu Ao pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, pass down my order. Keep an eye on Ye Chen’s whereabouts at all times. As for the matter of the Hall of Souls secretly sending people to kill Ye Chen…”

The Hall of Souls’ branch was destroyed, but other than the higher-ups of the major forces, the average cultivator was in the dark about this matter. In fact, most cultivators were even unaware that the Hall of Souls existed.

That being said, since news had been spread that Hun Tian issued a bounty for Ye Chen’s life using the excuse that he had ravished the Saintess of the Hall of Souls, it was obvious to the high-ups that there was something fishy going on.

“Grand Elder!”

“The Hall of Souls are our enemies. Do we need to help the Hall of Souls kill Ye Chen?” Dugu Tianyu asked.

“There’s no need,” Dugu Ao said disdainfully, “We are simply dealing with him because this kid killed the young master. What reason do we have to cooperate with them to kill a weakling like Ye Chen? He’s unworthy of that. Hmph!”

“As long as Ye Chen takes the bait, we can find an excuse to kill him before the auction!”

“Yes, Grand Elder!” Dugu Tianyu acknowledged the order and immediately left to make arrangements.

The main city of the Dugu family, Sky Sword City, was bustling with activity. Majestic auction stages were built, and the cultivators from all over the world, including those from many low-tier sects, all flocked to Sky Sword City to participate in the auction.

…

At this moment, Ye Chen was naturally not idle. He prepared to rush over to the Dugu family’s territory as soon as possible.

The Lingwu Continent was vast, and the territories of the Dugu family and Beigong family were quite a distance apart. Since Ye Chen was unable to tear space apart, he needed to get moving as soon as possible.

However, just as Ye Chen was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something. He clenched his right hand and a bracelet made of a strange stone flickered with a faint light.

He had left the bracelet in a corner of the Samsara Graveyard, so it was hard to notice. If the unconscious Ji Lin had not been near the bracelet, he would not have noticed it.

“Hmm?”

Ye Chen frowned and stared at the bracelet with a strange expression.

“Wei Ying?”

He muttered, and memories of the past flooded in like a tide.

Back in Capital City University, Wei Ying had helped him countless times to save his mother, Jiang Rong, and he owed her much for this.

Wei Ying might have been an ordinary university English teacher, but unexpectedly she possessed the Fiendish Blood Cold Body.

However, Ye Chen could not understand why the bracelet would flash at this moment.

There was a powerful formation inside. When there was a special situation between the two sides, it would flash. Of course, there was a requirement for this, which was that the two of them were in the same place.

“Could it be that Wei Ying has also come to the Lingwu Continent?”

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Although he had not heard from Wei Ying for a long time, he knew that unless Wei Ying overcame the Fiendish Blood Cold Body, she would not be able to survive.

What was this young lady doing in the Lingwu Continent?
