...

Just as Xu Guang was calmly waiting for the Golden Core Fragment auction, a figure slowly approached.

It was a woman he did not recognize.

"Senior, your wine."

Xu Guang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"These are the finest Sea State Blood Tribute, prepared especially for the distinguished guests who won the auction."

Xu Guang noticed that some other people who had won auction items earlier were also given wine.

So he nodded, and after the woman left, his expression suddenly turned a bit colder.

The people from the Dragon Gate are quite capable.

He remained expressionless, waiting for the Golden Core Fragment to be presented.

He directly bid three thousand Spirit Crystals.

The martial artists around him glanced over, a bit surprised.

After all, it's just a fragment, and the complete pill formula for the Golden Core has been circulated over the years, but until now, only the Seal Sect has truly been able to refine Golden Cores.

Three thousand Spirit Crystals, naturally no one bid.

Xu Guang took the item and turned to leave.

When he exited the auction hall on the sixth floor, Xu Guang could clearly feel the gaze falling on him.

The gaze of people has weight, especially for someone like him who practices Spirit Martial Dao.

He remained silent, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and slowly came to his room on the third floor.

The room had been cleaned up spotless by Chun Yuniang.

He was not surprised, but he suddenly noticed a mirror placed at the edge of the pillow.

"Senior, this is a treasure I found. I am not strong enough and you have past relations with my sister, please help me look after it."

Is this Chun Yuniang's handwriting?

Xu Guang smiled and reached out to take the mirror in his hand. The material of the mirror surprised him a bit; it seemed to be stone-like, with mysterious inscriptions on it. Upon seeing these ancient seals, Xu Guang's expression slightly changed.

It seems like...

The immortal text from the previous Bronze Fragment?

Is it really a treasure?

If so, Chun Yuniang entrusting him with this item for safekeeping is understandable, as her situation in Guanghan Hall is not good.

He thought for a moment and accepted the item.

Then he immediately turned to leave.

As for leaving something for Chun Yuniang, it's unnecessary, he is being followed by the people from the Dragon Gate, meeting her would only drag her into it. Anyway, he plans to head to Yongzhou and meet her there.

...

"My lord, that man drank the wine."

A young girl stood quietly before a curtain, reporting in a low voice.

"Got it."

The girl, upon hearing this, also turned and left.

Inside the room, five figures were seated.

Du Bo is not foolish. Xu Guang's combat strength has been tested in several great battles, he would not act alone.

Sitting before him were a few people bearing deep blood feuds with Xu Guang.

Jiang Wuyou's biological father, General Jiang Hetong under the Marquis of Everlasting Victory of the Jiang Family.

The Du Family's staunch ally, the head of the Third Tribulation Institute of the Dragon Gate, Mao Zhenyue.

The other two were also well-renowned Second Shedding Zhenren in the Jianghu.

Among the five, there were two Three-Metamorphosis Zhenren, and three Second Shedding Zhenren. To kill Xu Guang, who broke through to the Fifth Grade less than a year ago, could be described as a fully prepared lineup.

There was no possibility of failure.

...

Xu Guang sat cross-legged, silently watching the sky outside.

Suddenly, a heavy rain arrived.

Blowing away the seemingly endless Yin Qi within the Ghostly Land, the whole world was covered by a thick smell of rust.

This was a good day for killing; natural rainwater would wash away many traces, either from the Qi Force of martial artists or marks left by the Power of Heaven and Earth, they would all be thoroughly cleaned by the rainwater.

Outside the door, there was a knocking sound.

When Xu Guang opened the door, there was nothing outside, except a small slip of paper in the crack.

'Sir, the person you're looking for is coming down from the sixth floor.'

These were people from the Underworld, whom Xu Guang had hired at great expense.

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes, murder boiling in his heart.

During this time, he had not met anyone from the Dragon Gate, few knew he was here, yet the people from the Dragon Gate first poisoned him, then set up the Heaven and Earth Net, as if they were certain he was here.

Among them, someone was tipping them off.

He recalled every person he had met during this period.

Shen Muyu and Jiang Zi Yun would not betray him.

That leaves only one suspect.

Yuan Feng of Sword Seal Peak.

Slowly rising from the room, he held a paper umbrella and walked outside.

The wind and rain teetered, but the paper umbrella remained steady, like a reef in the sea.

This kind of rain wasn't much to martial artists, but after all, not many liked to get wet, so there weren't many people on the street.

...

In a somewhat simple tent.

Yuan Feng's expression was gloomy, after he bid for a manuscript about breaking through to the Fourth Grade, the person who delivered the items whispered in his ear, 'Someone has made an appointment, saying there is something important to tell him, concerning a method for consolidating a Three Divine Abilities Body.'

The highlight of the auction was the method for consolidating the Desert Smoke Body, a priceless treasure.

He did consider that it might be a trap, but this gathering site was a place where multiple forces agreed not to engage in combat, no one would dare to make a move here.

So he came.

The sudden downpour, accompanied by the smell of rust, brought with it a faint unease into his nostrils.

He wanted to leave, but was reluctant to miss the Three Divine Abilities Body.

If successful, Yuan Feng might have the chance to become the Sect Leader of Jiufeng Mountain.

Knock, knock, knock~!

Footsteps could be heard outside.

Yuan Feng's expression relaxed slightly, but his whole body remained tense, like a leopard ready to pounce at any moment.

Rainwater pounded the ground, creating small pits, steam rose, and the view became somewhat blurred.

He vaguely saw a figure holding a paper umbrella.
