"To be able to annihilate the second team of the Divine Mirror Enforcement Department, the culprit must at least be a Return to Void Stage mighty figure, right?" An Lin was a little angry. "A mighty Return to Void Stage mighty figure stole the Dark Essence Ore? And he even killed all the members of the Divine Mirror Enforcement Department?! "
Bai Ling replied in a cold voice, "I don't know what the culprit is thinking. However, I'm guessing that the culprit isn't a Return to Void Stage mighty figure. However, he's able to use some sort of mystic technique to forcibly raise his power level … "
"Can you trace the culprit?" An Lin asked coldly.
"One of the enforcement department members used a nano-level tracking device on the culprit before he died. Currently, we've found out that the culprit has already moved to the Thunder State," Bai Ling replied.
An Lin took a deep breath. "No wonder you're telling me this. Isn't the Thunder State right below me? Alright, I'll accept this mission! "
The Thunder State was located at the center of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and the Celestial Court was floating in the air above the Thunder State.
Bai Ling's tone became a lot more relaxed. "Although the nano-level tracking device is extremely stealthy and can send signals without anyone noticing, it still has its flaws. For example, its accuracy isn't very high.
"I only know that he went to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the Thunder State, but I can't pinpoint a specific life form. You'll have to go and find him yourself.
"If you can make a trip there and find the culprit, I won't send any other Return to Void Stage mighty figures …"
An Lin nodded. "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
There was no time to lose. After ending the voice transmission, he immediately unleashed a concealment technique and disappeared right in front of the teachers and students. He then flew out the window.
Ditching class openly was too conspicuous, so he was more inclined to leave quietly.
The Celestial Court wasn't far from the Extreme Emperor City, so Sword Kinesis Flight was faster than teleportation spell formations.
An Lin leaped down from the edge of the continent and flew through the pristine white clouds in free fall.
A black brick grew bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a huge brick that was three meters long.
Just like that, the man stepped on the brick and majestically flew towards Thunder State.
The Extreme Monarch City was the second largest city in Thunder Prefecture, second only to the main city of the Flying Gold royal family. It occupied a vast area, and the densely packed buildings stretched as far as the eye could see.
It was also the largest trading center of the Thunder Province. Many cultivators and creatures from all over the continent were active here, selling some goods.
"The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion of the Huangji City. I remember that they often auction good things there, right? Don't tell me … that person wants to auction off the Dark Essence Ore?! "An Lin analyzed angrily.
He had concealed his aura and altered his appearance slightly, so no one would be able to detect his true cultivation base unless they were at the Dao Integration Stage.
An extremely majestic building that was over a thousand feet tall appeared in front of him.
"Stop right there! Now that the auction has begun, no one is allowed to enter! "Two guards with powerful auras crossed their swords and blocked An Lin's path.
An Lin blinked his eyes and retreated quietly.
In the next moment, he used the Divine Creation Liquid Art to conceal himself.
"Heh … you want to stop me with this?"
An Lin swaggered toward the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. A white light flashed in his eyes, and a huge spell formation appeared before him. However, with a flick of his finger, a circular flaw was soundlessly torn apart.
He entered through the flaw in the spell formation and passed through the door.
There was a hubbub of voices inside the door, and it seemed like the auction had reached its climax.
"Holy sh * t, so many people! How are we supposed to tell who the enemy is? "An Lin was instantly dumbfounded when he saw that close to a thousand people had gathered together to auction.
Forget it, I'll just wait and see. I'll slowly observe, and I'll eventually find some clues.
The auction hall was divided into three different types of seats: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
The other party had done something bad and auctioned off the Dark Essence Ore, so they would definitely keep a low profile. Perhaps they were just sitting in the ordinary seats.
With this thought in mind, An Lin turned his gaze toward the Human seats.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Auction Hall.
Huang Fuwen was sitting upright in his chair, sipping his tea in small mouthfuls.
He looked at the other Heavenly Auction Hall cultivators with hostility in his eyes. Then, he started exchanging meaningful glances with the beautiful auctioneer.
Competing with one's opponents for treasures, setting up traps for others, flirting with the beautiful auctioneer, and even going one step further … This was the true meaning of participating in an auction.
Huang Fuwen sipped his tea as he gazed at the auction stage. "The final auction item is the immortal-rank treasure, the Dark Snow Heavenly Ice Root … It's the primary catalyst for me to absorb the Dark Essence Ore's energy. I must obtain it!
"If I can completely absorb the Dark Essence Ore's energy, I'll definitely be able to reach the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. When that happens, even if the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect comes, I'll still be able to put up a fight with you, Elder Ming!"
Huang Fuwen's black bead flashed, and the elderly man's voice sounded. "Don't underestimate your opponent. Your aptitude is extraordinarily high, and you're willing to fight. Even though you'll defeat An Lin sooner or later, now is not the time. Keep a low profile."
Huang Fuwen clenched his fists. "The Four Nine Immortal Sect forced you to expend your divine sense, Elder Ming. Your divine sense has been severely injured. I'll definitely avenge you!"
At this moment.
An Lin was still searching for clues about the enemy, and his heart was filled with astonishment.
The enemy's disguise was too good!
All of the cultivators in the Human-tier seats felt extremely ordinary and ordinary!
"To be able to keep a low profile and disguise as an ordinary cultivator without any flaws … As expected, this is an extremely challenging enemy." An Lin couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
After that, the auction continued.
The mysterious enemy still didn't reveal anything. However, the cultivators in the Heaven-tier seats were too f * cking cocky. They were shouting bids at each other, and the bidding was in full swing.
In particular, there was a male cultivator named Huang Fuwen. Every time he raised the bid and swindled the other Heaven-tier bidders, a wild and unruly smile would appear on his face. An Lin almost wanted to rush over and beat him up.
Swindling others is still reasonable? What's with that smug smile?
However, in order to find the enemy lying in ambush, An Lin resisted the urge to rush over and beat him up.
"Next, we will be auctioning a mysterious item. It's a mysterious black piece of wood that our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's pavilion master obtained from an antique market. Its composition and origin are unknown, but it possesses extremely powerful energy fluctuations. It's at least an immortal-rank item, so the starting bid is five hundred thousand spirit stones!" The beautiful auctioneer announced with a smile.
Another wave of astonishment erupted in the auction hall when the starting bid was announced.
Huang Fuwen looked at the mysterious piece of wood with a hint of disinterest.
However, at this moment, Elder Ming's voice suddenly sounded. "Heavens! This is the bone marrow essence of a Dao Integration Stage True Dragon! It's a divine-rank material! With it, I can forge a powerful weapon for you. You must obtain it! "
Huang Fuwen's eyes lit up.
This bone marrow essence was something he, Huang Fuwen, was determined to obtain!
This was the benefit of having a grandpa by his side. Nothing good could escape his discerning eyes.
At this moment, a white glow also flashed across An Lin's eyes.
There was nothing that could escape his Divine Inspection Technique's appraisal!
A string of information began to appear.
[Bone marrow essence: Bone marrow essence of the Primordial Dragon Tribe's Dao Integration Stage True Dragon, Ye Cuntian. Superb tool refinement and pill refinement material. Has a certain chance of allowing one to comprehend the true intent of a Dao Integration Stage True Dragon. Divine-rank material.]
An Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mysterious black piece of wood …
This was clearly a bone!
Ignorant people …
He was determined to obtain this bone!
