As the voice spoke, the pupils of Elder Feng and the people from the Lie Shan Family shrank. At that moment, a tall and slender figure walked out of the shattered square door.
That person had a handsome face, as if the serendipity of the world had gathered on him. His black hair danced in the air, and his Sacred Constellation Robe shone with a brilliant light. As he stood there, the otherworldly presence he exuded was enough to make all those who saw him pay attention to him.
His eyes were bright, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. As he stood there, it was as if all the light in the area had dimmed. Only his figure became the focus of all the people's gazes.
He seized the serendipity of the world and enjoyed the kismet of the universe. This was him - Dao Kong!
Xu Hui frowned and took a few steps back. The remaining sixteen figures also instantly scattered. The nine old men swiftly closed in and protected Dao Kong like guards. The concern on their faces was incredibly clear.
"This is a misunderstanding. I hope that the families of Black Ink Planet will not mind it." Dao Kong smiled faintly and wrapped his fist in his palm slightly towards Elder Feng and the others.
A barely noticeable glint appeared in Elder Feng's eyes. His gaze moved along Dao Kong's body and landed on the room where Su Ming was. In that room, he saw Yu Rou, the thirteen old men, and Su Ming, who was sitting cross-legged with a calm gaze.
"Fellow Daoist Su had some secrets he wanted to talk to me about, which was why he came up with this plan and Relocated me here. Now that we're done talking, we can't blame fellow Daoist Su for this." Dao Kong smiled faintly.
Su Ming also smiled and nodded. A hint of apology appeared on his face, and he looked towards Elder Feng, the nine old men beside Dao Kong, and Xu Hui.
Xu Hui stared at Dao Kong. If it was not because she could sense that there was not a single change in Dao Kong's presence, she would have definitely suspected that something was wrong. However, even though the feeling in her soul was the same as before, she still had a feeling that something was off.
However, she could not say what it was. With a glint in her eyes, her body quietly disappeared into the air.
"Since this is a misunderstanding, my fellow Daoists from True Morning Dao World, please return to your rooms. The auction is still going on, so I will take my leave now," Elder Feng said faintly after casting Dao Kong a profound glance.
"Please forgive my subordinate for offending you just now." Dao Kong was gentle and elegant. When he wrapped his fist in his palm, there was an apologetic look on his face. This suited his status and the impression he usually gave others. As he spoke, he turned around and cast Su Ming a glance. Once he nodded with a smile, he strode towards his room.
The nine old men cast hostile looks at Lie Shan Family, then left behind Dao Kong.
When they left, Elder Feng frowned and cast a glance at Su Ming once again. After a moment of pensive silence, he turned around and led the members of the Lie Shan Family away. As for Elder Yu, he had already disappeared into the air a while ago. At that moment, he could no longer be seen.
The thirteen old men in Su Ming's room had apathetic expressions on their faces. They would not think about anything related to Su Ming. In their minds, there was only execution.
However, it was different for Yu Rou. She looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression. She had a vague guess in her heart, but this guess was slightly inconceivable.
'This shouldn't be Possession, or else why would Dao Kong still be able to retain his intelligence, and why would Su Ming still have his own intelligence? Besides, judging by the looks of the people from Morning Dao Sect, if they could immediately find this place, then it means that there is someone among them who has a close connection with Dao Kong, but once Dao Kong is Possessed, then that connection will definitely be cut off …
'But judging by their expressions just now … it seems like that connection is still there?
'But if it's not Possession, then what is it..?' As Yu Rou thought about it, a deep hint of wariness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Su Ming. She found him to be even more unfathomable.
"Let's go. There's no longer any need for us to stay here." Su Ming stood up and said flatly, then walked forward. Yu Rou followed behind him. As for the thirteen old men, they bowed respectfully towards Su Ming before disappearing from their rooms to guard the auction.
"Prepare a chamber for me. I want to isolate myself," Su Ming said calmly once he walked out of the room. Behind him, Yu Rou lowered her head and voiced her obedience.
After a moment, Su Ming sat down cross-legged in a chamber located deep underground in Black Water City. It was quiet all around him. He had his eyes open, and his expression was relaxed. Not a hint of emotion could be seen on his face.
He seemed to be waiting for something. When the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed, a faint breeze seemed to blow past the chamber, and Su Ming looked towards it.
Right before his eyes, Elder Feng walked out of the wind and sat down cross-legged before Su Ming.
"Lord God of Berserkers, please give me an explanation," Elder Feng said hoarsely while looking at Su Ming.
Su Ming did not speak. Instead, he lifted his right hand, and a freezing aura slowly appeared in the air above his right hand. Soon after, snowflakes manifested. This was not an illusion, but Su Ming's Life Matrix, the coldness of midwinter.
The snowflakes appeared on Su Ming's palm and floated down his palm to the ground. Gradually, the area around him was covered in a layer of snow.
"Elder Feng, what did you see?" Su Ming asked slowly.
"Snow." A light crease appeared between Elder Feng's brows.
Su Ming clenched his right hand and caught the snowflakes that had floated out of the air. Once they landed on his palm, he let go of Elder Feng to reveal the snowflakes that had not melted.
"What is this?"
"Snow," Elder Feng said flatly.
Su Ming smiled and swung his right hand. Once he flung off the snowflakes on his palm, he seized the layer of snow that covered the area around him gently.
"What is this now?"
"It's still snow." Elder Feng narrowed his eyes, as if he had understood something.
"I've already explained it to you." Su Ming swung his arm, and all the snowflakes around him disappeared in an instant.
"I'm going to isolate myself and head to Divine Essence Star Ocean. I don't know when we will meet again after this. Elder Feng … take care." Su Ming smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
Elder Feng remained silent for a moment before he shook his head and smiled. He got up and bowed towards Su Ming before he turned around and left while shaking his head.
He understood now. Su Ming had indeed given him an explanation just now. As for the specifics of his understanding, it would vary from person to person.
While Su Ming was in isolation, the auction in the world outside was still going on. Dao Kong sat on a soft chair in his room with a cup of wine in his hand. He looked at the auction through the screen of light and took a sip of the wine.
The nine old men sat behind him with their eyes closed, hiding the white light that had shone when they had flown into a rage.
The beautiful woman was no longer a catwoman at that moment. Instead, she had turned into a frail woman, as if she was incredibly afraid of Dao Kong. She knelt down respectfully by the side, and with a pot of wine in her hand, she would occasionally pour more wine for Dao Kong.
"I need an explanation!" Xu Hui's dark voice came from the air.
"Oh? What explanation? " When Dao Kong asked flatly, a faint glint appeared in his eyes, and he looked towards the woman beside him. Ever since she followed him into the room, she had immediately turned into this frail woman. That fear was not fake, but she was truly, incredibly, terrified of Dao Kong.
"What happened after you were teleported out of the Sacred Starry Robe?" Xu Hui's gloomy voice echoed in the room.
"Fellow Daoist Su of Black Ink Planet had a trade he wanted to make with me, but it was not convenient for him to come to me directly, which was why he used this method …" Dao Kong said slowly, but the moment he said those words, he noticed the woman by his side freeze and lift her head to cast him a surprised look.
In fact, some of the nine old men behind him also lifted their chins slightly.
Ripples immediately appeared in the air before him, and Xu Hui took a step forward. She glared at Dao Kong, and hints of murderous aura as well as a strange look shone in her eyes.
Dao Kong closed his eyes slightly and said flatly, "… Only by using this method can he have a secret discussion with me."
"Oh? What secret discussion? "Xu Hui asked again.
"What secret discussion …?" Dao Kong lifted his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. He loosened his grip on the cup, and it immediately fell to the ground. However, before it could land on the ground, the woman immediately stretched out her hand to catch it. When he saw this, Dao Kong's smile grew wider. His right hand landed on the woman's face, and when he stroked it gently, the woman lowered her head. The surprise that had appeared on her face just moments ago disappeared, and it was replaced by obedience.
Among the nine old men behind him, the ones who had raised their heads also lowered their heads when they saw this scene.
In fact, even Xu Hui's eyes focused. Her expression remained the same, but some of the suspicions in her heart disappeared due to Dao Kong's actions.
"Why should I tell you?" Dao Kong had the ghost of a smile on his lips, and there was a hint of coldness on his face as he looked towards Xu Hui.
Xu Hui frowned. She hated Dao Kong's expression and tone, but it was precisely this expression and tone that caused most of the suspicions in her heart to disappear. She let out a cold harrumph and fused into the air once again, disappearing.
As Xu Hui disappeared, Dao Kong's gaze fell on the screen of light. The ghost of a smile appeared on his face, but there was only calmness in the depths of his heart.
He was not Dao Kong!
He was Su Ming!
Dao Kong's soul and all of his will had been Possessed by Su Ming. However, he would need some time to digest Dao Kong's memories, and it would not take long. One month would be enough.
At the instant he succeeded in Possessing Dao Kong, Su Ming could clearly sense that Dao Kong's potential far surpassed his own. More importantly, he could vaguely sense the kismet on Dao Kong's body.
This was the kismet from True Morning Dao World. The existence of this kismet could allow this cultivation base clone to have limitless potential.
'As Ye Wang's kismet slowly disappears and he leaves, this cultivation base clone of mine will have gathered together most of True Morning Dao World's kismet. Because of that, with the nourishment and support from this kismet, this clone's potential … will reach an incredibly powerful state.
'And … I am a direct descendant of Morning Dao Sect. Morning Dao Sect … I wonder how the grudge between us will be torn apart once I become its only Young Master.' Su Ming smiled. That smile was incredibly dazzling, and there was a strong, malicious air to it.
When the woman by his side saw that smile, her heart shuddered. She quickly lowered her head and simply allowed Su Ming's right hand to brush past her face gently.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes as he said flatly, "This auction is boring. Notify the galactic warship that I will leave tomorrow."
