Western Sea Clan's auction ended on that day. The items they brought out to be auctioned in the end may have been very attractive, but they did not attract much attention. During the three consecutive days of the auction, Su Ming's actions had attracted a lot of people's attention.
It was especially so for the last incident related to the Soul in the Stone. It made quite a number of people have different thoughts. If what the man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe said was true, then the value of that item was immeasurable.
Even if what he said was false, judging by how excited he was at that time, that item was definitely a strange treasure. However, its true use was still a mystery.
However, there were a lot of curious people. Although the Enlightenment Gathering Tribe's clansmen were restricted by the Western Sea Sect and were unable to leave, and they had to return to Enlightenment Gathering Tribe with the original owner of the mountain rock, the burly man, and the people from the Western Sea Sect to verify the authenticity of the Enlightenment Gathering Tribe's words, there were still a lot of people who left during the night to head to Enlightenment Gathering Tribe and use their own methods to investigate the truth of the matter.
After all, most people would not recklessly offend Freezing Sky Clan before they obtained accurate information. The rumors surrounding the ninth summit were also the reason why people were cautious.
Once Su Ming returned to his tent, he fell into a brief moment of thought before he arranged for Zi Che to pack his things. He had two great treasures on him, and he had already attracted a lot of attention. It was better for him to leave first than to stay here.
However, he did not want to leave alone. Tian Lan Meng's help during the auction had caused the two of them to come to an agreement not to speak to each other directly.
Besides, Su Ming did not harbor a lot of ill will towards Tian Lan Meng.
'Perhaps it's not impossible for me to work together with her during Sky Mist Shaman Hunt.' As Zi Che packed his tent, Su Ming stood on the snow and nodded his head in silence.
Perhaps there really was a tacit understanding between them, or perhaps it was because Su Ming and Tian Lan Meng's acquaintance was related to Painting, causing the two of them to have a faint connection to the Art of Creating Pictures.
As Su Ming was immersed in his thoughts while standing on the snow, a woman in white with her hair falling over her shoulders walked slowly on the snow in the drifting wind. Her footsteps were light and soft as she walked towards him.
The woman was incredibly beautiful. She had bright eyes and white teeth. There was an elegant air about her as she walked in the wind and snow, and there was an indescribable charm about her that made her look like a painting.
There were two people following behind her. One of them was the girl Su Ming had seen before, and the other was the man with the white mask who gave Su Ming the stone coins.
The man had his head lowered. Not a hint of power could be detected from his body. He looked like a normal person, but when Su Ming looked at this person, he felt the same oppressive feeling he had when he stood on Sky Mist Barrier and looked at the land of the Shamans.
"I was wondering whether you were going to leave." As he got closer, Tian Lan Meng's gentle voice traveled through the snow and drifted into his ears.
"When are you leaving?" Su Ming turned his head around and looked at the woman walking towards him. The woman's beauty added a hint of charm to the snow and wind. It was as if her existence had attracted the snow and wind in the area to surround her, making her appear even more dazzling.
"I've spent tens of millions of stone coins on you, so of course I have to follow you at all times. Otherwise, if something were to happen to you, wouldn't my stone coins be wasted?" The corners of Tian Lan Meng's lips curled up and she smiled brightly. Her smile was like a blooming flower, causing all those who saw it to be unable to help themselves but feel their hearts race.
Su Ming felt awkward, which was a rare sight. He was not used to this sort of conversation, especially when he was talking to his creditor.
"We're not in a hurry to leave. The auction isn't over yet. The real auction will start soon … Don't you want to go take a look?" Tian Lan Meng blinked. She found Su Ming's expression very interesting at that moment.
"Even if I go, I won't be able to afford it …" Su Ming smiled wryly.
"It's fine. I have some. You already owe me quite a lot of stone coins. I don't mind if you owe me a little more. Besides, the feeling of being a creditor is pretty good." There was a hint of smugness in Tian Lan Meng's smile that was rarely seen on her.
However, the girl behind her looked at Su Ming with disdain and disdain. She rolled her eyes at him and looked elsewhere.
'Besides, I wasn't invited.' Su Ming hesitated for a moment. He had heard of this auction that belonged to the powerful. Compared to the auction that lasted for three days, this sort of small-scale auction was another important part of the clash between the two clans that happened once every century.
As he hesitated, Su Ming's expression suddenly changed and he lifted his head to look into the distance. Almost at the same time he lifted his head, Tian Lan Meng also looked over.
A man dressed in black with an aloof expression on his face walked towards them. Wherever he went, not a single footprint would be left on the ground, but his feet were indeed stepping on snow.
The man in black stopped 100 feet away from Su Ming. Once he cast Su Ming a cold glance, a powerful pressure appeared in his eyes. That was the pressure of those in the Bone Sacrifice Realm.
Under that pressure, the snow around them was immediately lifted up as if it was swept away by a violent gust of wind, covering the man's and Su Ming's gazes.
"The master has invited me." The man in black only said these four words, and his voice was like a freezing gust of wind. As he spoke, he brought out a wooden plate from his bosom with his right hand and flung it at Su Ming before he turned around and left.
Su Ming caught the wooden plate. There was not a hint of force on it. Once he caught it lightly, a rebounding force spread out abruptly. That rebounding force surged into Su Ming's body, causing six muffled booms to ring out under his feet and snow to fly into the air once again.
Su Ming's expression was calm as he took the wooden plate and cast it a glance.
Tian Lan Meng's eyes brightened by his side. She looked at Su Ming's feet and the smile on her lips grew wider.
"One Qi Nine Bursts. This is one of the few skills the Great Tribe of Freezing Sky doesn't teach to outsiders. This person is from the Great Tribe of Freezing Sky and is the retainer of the Elder's second son." The person who spoke was the person with the white mask standing behind Tian Lan Meng.
That person's voice was old and sounded like an old man's.
"The person in the third room is the second young master of the Great Tribe of Freezing Sky. Now that you've been invited, let's go together." Tian Lan Meng chuckled softly. Her voice was very pleasant to the ears.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he nodded.
As Tian Lan Meng smiled, the two of them walked towards the deeper parts of the tribe with the wind and snow blowing in their faces. There was a gigantic golden tent located right at the center of the tribe.
Zi Che and the girl followed behind them. The girl found Su Ming an eyesore, and it was the same for Zi Che. With an arrogant look on her face, she insisted on walking in front of Zi Che.
As for the old man with the white mask, he walked at the very back. Most of the time, he looked at Tian Lan Meng lovingly, but occasionally, he would shift his gaze to Su Ming, as if he was examining him.
"That's right, where's the little tail beside you? I remember that she came with you. "As Tian Lan Meng walked with Su Ming, she looked at him with a smile, and her voice was like a lingering echo in the air.
"Little tail?" Su Ming was momentarily stunned. The image of Bai Su's pale face before she left appeared in his mind.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he spoke slowly, "She left."
"It's good that she left. She's infatuated with Si Ma Xin. It's a form of pain for her to be sent to your side … but it's also a good thing for her to see herself clearly." The smile on Tian Lan Meng's face was gone as she spoke softly.
Su Ming cast a glance at Tian Lan Meng and did not speak.
"Are you questioning how I know? Si Ma Xin can only think of this method with all his little tricks? The hearts of people are different because of their Daos. Those with the Great Dao will look at the sky and the earth, and those with the Minor Dao will look at others and themselves," Tian Lan Meng said calmly as she twirled a few strands of her hair.
"You've gained a little more epiphany compared to the last time we met." As Su Ming walked on the snow, the sound of him stepping on the snow traveled into his ears. He liked that sound a lot.
"I have to thank you for giving up on the crane made of grass. I could feel it looking at you when it was flying in the air." Tian Lan Meng smiled sweetly. There were a few snowflakes stuck to her smiling face, causing her skin to look like it was made of cream, giving off a feeling that her skin was as smooth as ice.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived outside the golden tent located at the center of the tribe. The instant they stepped into the tent, an invisible ripple swept past them. When it touched the wooden plate in Su Ming's hands, the ripple rippled, and Su Ming's vision blurred. When his vision cleared up, he found himself in a dark room that was about 100 feet in size.
There were quite a number of tables on both sides of the room. At that moment, there were already a dozen people sitting there. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and everything was just a blur. It was clear that they had already hidden themselves.
These people did not talk to each other. All of them were sitting quietly, and when Su Ming and Tian Lan Meng arrived, they swept their gazes towards them.
Su Ming's heart tensed up. All of the gazes that looked towards him brought with them an incredible amount of pressure. This pressure was definitely not something that a normal Berserker in the Bone Sacrifice Realm could bring about. In fact, some of the gazes that swept past him even made Su Ming's heart tremble. This sort of gaze … only belonged to those in the Berserker Soul Realm!
However, there were also a few gazes that swept past him, and they were all very normal.
"They will look at us the way we look at them. Unless we intentionally spread our power outwards, they won't be able to see our true power." A gentle voice suddenly appeared in Su Ming's mind. That voice belonged to Tian Lan Meng. She stood beside Su Ming, and her face was also a blur.
Su Ming fell silent. Once he cast a glance at Tian Lan Meng, the two of them sat on the chairs to the right and waited for the others to arrive.
Before long, more people appeared in the room. Most of them were familiar with the rules, and they walked towards the empty chairs. An hour later, when all the chairs were filled and there were nearly twenty people in the room, Tian Lan Meng's voice echoed in Su Ming's mind once again.
"It's starting."
Almost at the instant Tian Lan Meng's words turned into echoes in Su Ming's mind, a hearty laughter traveled out from the rather dark room.
As that laughter appeared, a boy walked out from the wall right at the front of the room, as if he had walked through the wall!
The boy looked to be only seven or eight years old, but his voice was like a tidal wave, and his words were filled with experience and ruthlessness.
"All of you are my old friends. There might be some of you who are new, but since you're here, then you must know the rules. I'll make a long story short. I won't waste my breath. According to tradition, Western Sea Clan will be the first to start the game!
"The first item I'll bring out is a living creature!" As the boy spoke, he lifted his right hand and swung his arm before him. Immediately, a black chain shot out with a howl. There was a living creature chained to the other end of the chain. Its movements were too quick. Once it appeared, it immediately charged forward as if it wanted to escape, but its neck was bound by the chain. When it reached a spot not too far away from Su Ming, the chain was pulled taut and wrapped around its neck, causing the living creature to let out pained wails.
The moment Su Ming saw the living creature, he felt as if he had been struck by hundreds of thousands of lightning bolts. His mind roared, and in an instant, besides the living creature, everything else before him disappeared!
