Once Dao Kong's words were spoken, the entire auction hall instantly fell silent. The price of three hundred million crystals could be said to be an astronomical price!
It was difficult to say whether it was worth it to buy a Sacred Constellation Robe with this sort of price. After all, most outsiders had only heard of the specific effects of the Sacred Constellation Robe. The only ones who truly knew about it were the direct descendants of Morning Dao Sect.
In fact, when Dao Kong placed that price, he felt as if his heart was being pierced repeatedly by a sharp sword. That price could be said to be all of his savings.
However, he was already in a situation where he could not back down. Even if he had to borrow crystals, he had to buy that Sacred Constellation Robe. Besides, this matter was related to his fiancée. Because of that, he had no reason to give up on that Sacred Constellation Robe. Even if he had to grind his teeth to pieces, he had to buy it.
Once he placed the price of three hundred million crystals, Xu Hui instantly let out a light chuckle. She knew that breaking off the engagement with Dao Kong was definitely not an easy task. This was related to the tradition of Morning Dao Sect and Phoenix Sect, and one Sacred Constellation Robe could not be used to determine whether they could break this tradition.
Besides, she only found Dao Kong to be an eyesore, but she also knew that she might eventually become his wife. Making him pay a little more would be a way to vent her anger, which was why she chuckled softly and did not place any more bids.
The auction hall fell into a brief period of silence. Even the alien tribes from Divine Essence Star Ocean did not place any more bids. After all, three hundred million crystals was not a small sum.
The middle-aged man who hosted the auction still had a smile on his face. Once he looked around, he let out a hearty laugh.
"Since no one else is bidding for it, then this Sacred Constellation Robe, which has been auctioned for the first time in countless years in Black Ink Planet, will belong to True Morning Dao World!" Once he said those words, two graceful women walked out from the air behind him. Once they picked up the Sacred Constellation Robe, they disappeared without a trace.
Only at that moment did Dao Kong let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
The auction continued. Once the middle-aged man brought out another item to be auctioned, the bustle in the auction hall rose once more, just as it always did.
The sounds of people bidding rose and fell, but to Dao Kong, all of it had already disappeared from his ears. He turned his head around to look at the door to his room.
After about ten breaths of time, someone knocked on the door.
As the door to the room was opened, the Sacred Constellation Robe was placed in a box, and it was sent to Dao Kong's room by the two graceful women with respectful expressions.
Immediately, the woman with pointy ears walked forward and took the box. Once she examined it carefully, she brought it to Dao Kong. Dao Kong's gaze fell on the box, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
"I'll have to trouble the nine elders to help me check if this item has been tampered with."
Once Dao Kong spoke, the nine old men who had their eyes closed not too far away from him lifted their right hands at the same time and pushed at the air towards the box. Distortions immediately appeared around the box.
As the space distorted, the box silently turned into dust, revealing the Sacred Constellation Robe inside. The robe floated in midair, and the space around it distorted, but there was not the slightest fluctuation in the distortions. Instead, the robe was extremely clear, and the starlight shining on it gave off a dazzling feeling.
After a moment, one of the nine old men said in a hoarse voice, "Everything is normal."
A hint of excitement that he could not hide flashed briefly on Dao Kong's face. He was incredibly excited in his heart. There were pros and cons to the robe's appearance in this place, but once he bought it, there would be no more cons. Instead, the benefits would be magnified endlessly.
"If I bring this back to Morning Dao Sect, I will have done a great service!" A smile appeared on Dao Kong's face. He lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the Sacred Constellation Robe.
"First, let me see just which direct descendant is in possession of this robe!" Dao Kong was a cautious person, which was why even if he had bought the Sacred Constellation Robe and the woman had checked it, he still had the nine old men he trusted the most work together to check it.
All nine of them had extraordinary levels of cultivation, and when they were together, Dao Kong could ignore a large number of dangers. With just one thought from him, the three thousand fearless warriors could instantly descend on him.
There was nothing for him to be afraid of, and neither did he believe that there was anything that could cause him to run into danger … unless it was a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death. However, even he did not believe that a powerful warrior who was a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death would personally cause trouble to him.
That was why before his hand touched the Sacred Constellation Robe, the smile on his face grew brighter. However, at the instant his hand touched the Sacred Constellation Robe, the nine old men suddenly shuddered.
"Let go!" The nine people let out low roars at the same time and instantly stood up. A vast presence spread out violently from their bodies with a bang, causing the room to start swaying as if the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
The figure of a woman took a step out of the indistinct space behind Dao Kong. She lifted her hand and seized the Sacred Constellation Robe.
However … they were still too late!
In fact, Dao Kong did not even have the time to register what was going on. Once he touched the Sacred Constellation Robe, a loud bang immediately rang out in his head. His vision blurred for an instant, and a power of relocation swiftly spread out from the Sacred Constellation Robe. It swept up his body, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
His expression changed swiftly. Before his vision could become clear, he immediately sent out his divine thought without any hesitation to have the three thousand fearless warriors descend on him. However, almost at the instant this thought appeared in his mind, a great wave of impact charged straight into his mind with a bang. Under that impact, Dao Kong's heart instantly roared, and his mind went blank for a period of time.
All he could vaguely see was that he had been teleported to an unfamiliar location. There were more than ten people sitting cross-legged around him, radiating intense pressure that was like an inescapable net. His aura was completely locked down, and he couldn't move at all.
The last thing he saw was a calm face. That face was not old, but belonged to a young man, and he looked rather familiar to Dao Kong. That person was looking at him, and his eyes were profound, as if they contained an endless universe within them. They could cause a person to be instantly lost within them.
He saw the young man lift his right hand and push it against the top of his skull. After that … Dao Kong's world turned dark.
With an indifferent expression, Su Ming pressed his right hand against the top of Dao Kong's skull. At the instant he lowered his hand, he closed his eyes, and his soul instantly left his body. Through his right hand, it charged towards Dao Kong's body with a bang.
Dao Kong's body trembled viciously. His expression was twisted, and his eyes were bloodshot, but they were lifeless. However, based on his expression, it could be seen that the pain he was enduring at that moment was definitely not something ordinary.
Yu Rou and the Duke of Crimson Flame guarded the door. When they turned their heads around, they saw Su Ming and Dao Kong. The Duke of Crimson Flame was in a slightly better state. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but when Yu Rou saw Su Ming's actions, her expression immediately changed.
She had been trying to guess what Su Ming's goal was. After all, it would be easy to kill Dao Kong in this place, but there would be plenty of trouble after that. Only at that moment did she know that Su Ming's goal was not to kill him … but to Possess him!
Compared to her, the thirteen Progenitors of the Yu Family beside Dao Kong were even calmer. In their hearts, Su Ming was their ancestor and their god. They would not make any guesses about his orders and actions, but would complete them regardless of the cost.
The deathly silence and bizarre atmosphere in Su Ming's room became a stark contrast compared to the world outside. Almost at the instant Dao Kong was Relocated, a loud bang that surged into the sky shot out from Dao Kong's room, as if a windstorm had swept through it.
As the booming sounds reverberated in the air, nine figures rushed out as if they had gone mad. Naturally, they were the nine old men who had their eyes closed. At the instant they rushed out, they opened their eyes at the same time.
At the instant they did so, it could be seen that there were no pupils in their eyes. Instead, they were completely white. That white was not pale, but … the color of bones.
Booming sounds rose swiftly at that moment. As they reverberated in the air, the nine people were like nine enraged dragons that charged into each room in the auction hall. Wherever they went, they did not care about anything else as they searched madly.
They could sense that Dao Kong had not been relocated too far away. He was … nearby!
"What are you doing?!"
"Enemy ambush!"
"They're from True Morning Dao World!"
Enraged roars immediately came from the rooms in the auction hall as the nine people charged into the room. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, the nine people brought out their full power, and each of them was using the powerful force of those in the later stage of World Plane Realm.
A woman dressed in purple walked out from the air behind the nine people. Her long hair danced in the air, and she was so beautiful that she could compare to Yu Rou. Both of them could be said to be matchless.
"Over there!" Her voice was cold and aloof. Purple light shone in her eyes seven times before she pointed at a room in the distance. That room was where Su Ming was.
She had been able to find Dao Kong because when she was betrothed to him, her life had already been linked to his by Morning Dao Sect and Phoenix Sect. That was why she had been able to sense Dao Kong's location within such a short period of time.
Once she spoke, the nine old men whose eyes were shining with white light lifted their heads simultaneously and stared at the room Xu Hui had pointed at. With their full speed, they charged towards the room while slicing through the air.
There was also a figure of a woman who was with the nine old men. In fact, she was even faster than them as she charged towards the room. That woman was not Xu Hui, but the young married woman. At first glance, her body seemed to have turned into a cat. She was so fast that in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived at the door. That was especially true of her hands, which had sharp nails that were three inches long.
Xu Hui's eyes turned cold. She moved, and a bright moon instantly manifested behind her. Her level of cultivation … had already reached Lunar Kalpa Realm!
"Black Ink Planet, how dare you set up True Morning Dao World in such a brazen manner during the auction!" Xu Hui moved, and murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
But almost at the instant she said those words, a cold harrumph reverberated in the air.
"People from True Morning Dao World, the auction is still ongoing. You will have to give Black Ink Planet an explanation for your actions." As the cold harrumph echoed in the air, a gust of wind that could destroy space appeared in front of Xu Hui.
Nine figures appeared at the same time in front of the nine old men. In fact, an old man also appeared in front of the woman who had turned into a catwoman. He lifted his palm and stopped the catwoman in her tracks.
When she saw the people's messages, she felt warmth in her heart. She had made them worried.
The examination results came out one after another. There were many reasons for it, and even the hospital could not explain them clearly. The dizziness was much better now, and it was not as serious as before, but the ringing in her ears was getting worse.
There were three sets of drips every day, and one of them could only drip twenty drops per hour. Over the past few days, I've been dripping drips for about seven hours every day.
But I keep missing updates, and I feel really bad about it. I'll be writing in the hospital for the next few days, and I'll be updating my story once every day. Please understand. (To be continued.
