After waiting for a short while in the auction house, Su Yu saw Fairy Ling.
She was calm and elegant as usual, and her beautiful eyes were carefully examining Su Yu's face. She couldn't see him clearly, so she could only guess that he was a youth.
"Young master, may I ask if you are from Tianya City?" Fairy Ling asked sweetly.
Since he had asked to see her by name, it seemed like he wasn't a stranger to Tianya City.
Su Yu sat down calmly and asked, "Fairy Ling, which one are you more concerned about, my background or the transaction of a fairy artifact?"
Fairy Ling could tell that he didn't want to waste time with her, so her pretty eyes flickered. "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but fairy artifacts are something that only the All Creation Realm seniors can touch. So, I can't help but be concerned about its origin."
She was worried that Su Yu had taken a fairy artifact that he shouldn't have, which would anger the All Creation Old Monsters and cause trouble for him.
"I picked it up," Su Yu replied calmly.
Fairy Ling was speechless. Could a fairy artifact be picked up so easily?
After pondering it for a moment, Fairy Ling said, "Fine. If it were an ordinary auction house, they probably wouldn't dare accept a fairy artifact of unknown origin. But, I have another channel that can help you auction it off in secret. If you trust me, you can show me what part of the fairy artifact it is."
"It's not a part of the fairy artifact." Su Yu shook his head.
Fairy Ling's pretty eyes flickered. If it wasn't a part of the fairy artifact, then what was it? Could it be a prototype fairy artifact?
She was tempted. A fairy artifact was extremely valuable, and if she could help him auction it off, she would get a great commission!
"It's a complete fairy artifact." A thread, which couldn't be detected by the naked eye, trembled in Su Yu's sleeves and wrapped around a spatial ring. He then carefully placed it on the table. Su Yu didn't touch it at all, as if even the ring was extremely dangerous.
Fairy Ling was surprised by this. Why is he so cautious? She blinked her pretty eyes and carefully revolved a wisp of Vital Energy to envelop the spatial ring.
She then tried to probe it with a wisp of her soul energy to understand the situation inside the spatial ring.
She saw a strange-looking gear lying quietly in the ring.
A blurry image flashed in Fairy Ling's mind. It seemed like she had seen it somewhere before.
All of a sudden, a wisp of demonic energy burst forth from the black gear, and Fairy Ling's soul energy was extinguished before it could even react.
Ah —
With a delicate cry, Fairy Ling tossed the spatial ring away as if she had been electrocuted. She hurriedly circulated her true energy to protect her body and quickly retreated far away from the ring.
A pained expression appeared on her face. A strand of her soul had been destroyed, and she herself had been implicated. Her beautiful face was deathly pale.
Her bright eyes were filled with horror and fear. "It's, it's the Supreme Fairy Weapon of the Diabolism, the Flying Guillotine! You, you actually took this kind of thing! "
Flying guillotine? Su Yu murmured. This was the first time he had heard the black gear's name.
In the past, the Five Great Golden Light Guards had failed to find Su Yu. Instead, they had been provoked by an All Creation woman, and they had ended up fighting with her.
In the end, the woman was severely injured by the projection of the Central Prefecture's King, who had been invited by the Five Great Golden Light Guards. Before she died, she almost implicated Su Yu.
Fortunately, Su Yu had many tricks up his sleeves, so he was lucky enough to escape the encirclement of the Five Great Golden Light Guards.
After that, Su Yu healed her injuries and conveniently took away the fairy artifact, which was filled with terrifying demonic energy, as revenge.
This item was also Su Yu's greatest source of crystal stones.
After all, a fairy artifact's value should be extremely high.
Upon seeing Fairy Ling's expression, Su Yu raised his brows and put away the ring. "If you don't want to accept it, I'll take my leave."
It seemed like the Flying Guillotine's owner had an outstanding status.
"Wait, I need to think about it," Fairy Ling said hurriedly. She restrained her Vital Energy, but she still couldn't hide the shock on her face.
Su Yu shook his head. "I don't have time to wait for your reply. If you've made up your mind, send me a message."
After throwing her a jade pendant, Su Yu immediately left the Tianya Auction House. He didn't stop for even a moment.
Who knew whether Fairy Ling would be tempted by his wealth and mobilize the Tianya Auction House's experts to kill him?
Fairy Ling grabbed the jade pendant, and it was only after a long while that her heaving chest calmed down. Her eyes flickered with a grave light as she murmured, "Why did Mo Tianxuan's Natal Fairy Artifact fall into the hands of this mysterious youth? I must inform the Cliff Master about this matter, as he's the only one who can make a decision. "
At this moment, Gongsun Wuxie came bouncing over and asked, "Little aunt, are you ready? The day of the sacrificial offering is just around the corner. "
Fairy Ling put away the ring and said calmly, "Yes, everything is ready. This is a great fortune for you, as there must be a treasure in the Desolate Evil Jungle that can purify your body."
Gongsun Wuxie waved her fist and said, "Yes, you must succeed. If I can get rid of the medicinal power in my body, I won't need to be an infant anymore. I want to become a young lady, a beautiful young lady!"
In the Hall of Celestial Spirits.
Hu Wangui and several middle-stage Almighty Divine Masters were standing in the hall. They had their heads lowered and didn't dare to move.
A white-clothed old man was sitting in front of them. He cast a glance at Hu Wangui and said, "The Heavenly Knife Region's Master already knows about this matter, so you can't be blamed for it. The opponent's hidden trump cards were too shocking, so it's understandable that you didn't manage to achieve your goal."
Hu Wangui and the others heaved a sigh of relief. It was only then that they could relax.
"The Region Master asked me to ask you something. How are the preparations for the Desolate Evil Jungle's sacrificial offering this time?" the white-clothed old man asked in a solemn tone.
Hu Wangui's expression became solemn, and he revealed a confident look. "Sir, you can set your mind at ease. Everything has been prepared, and we still hired the two masters, Qin and Lin. Their mastery of the Wood Clan's language is at the peak, and no one in the entire Central Prefecture can rival them. It's all thanks to them that our Heavenly Knife Region was able to snatch such a large territory from the Tianya Auction House. This time, we managed to invite them again, and the Wood Clan's language masters from the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace aren't a match for them. As for the other sixteen great factions, they won't pose a threat to us."
The white-clothed old man nodded and revealed a friendly smile. "You did a good job in this matter. Among the Central Prefecture's five regions, only our Heavenly Knife Region managed to gain a firm foothold in Tianya City, and we even managed to defeat the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands. You won our Heavenly Knife Region's reputation, and the Region Master admires you a lot.
Hu Wangui's face became flushed. "Sir, thank you for your guidance. I will surely do my best to occupy half of the Central Prefecture's territory."
The white-clothed old man was curious. "Oh? Why are you so confident? I remember that it took us no less than ten years to occupy half of Tianya City's territory. So, how did you manage to occupy half of it this time? "
Hu Wangui revealed a mysterious smile. "If it was a fair competition, it would obviously be difficult, as the opponent's Mu words experts aren't just for show. But, what if their experts can't participate in the sacrificial ceremony?"
The white-clothed old man seemed to have understood something.
— —
Su Yu changed his appearance once again, taking on an old and frail appearance. He then went to the headquarters with the identity of Su Yuxian.
The person guarding the entrance was still the middle-aged man surnamed Jue.
Upon seeing Su Yu, he didn't seem as enthusiastic as before. "Is your term of office up?"
Su Yu nodded and smiled. "Yes. Senior, please let me pass."
The middle-aged man surnamed Jue nodded and opened the seal to let Su Yu enter. As he looked at Su Yu's back, his eyes flickered slightly.
In the side hall of the two-story building …
"You really keep your word. How has your familiarity with the Mu words been these past few days?" the Deputy General Manager asked cordially.
Su Yu replied, "I'm barely familiar with them."
A trace of helplessness flickered in the Deputy General Manager's eyes, but he still maintained the smile on his face. "I've improved."
"Deputy General Manager, are you still not going to explain the so-called important matter to your disciple?" Su Yu was very curious.
The Deputy General Manager's eyes turned cold. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "It's time to tell you."
"The reason why I invited you to participate is that you're proficient in the Mu words. The whole of Tianya City is going to carry out the Desolate Evil Jungle Sacrificial Offering, which is held once a year. The sacrificial offering process requires the use of the Mu words," the Deputy General Manager explained.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't the Desolate Evil Jungle Sacrificial Offering mentioned in Yaomu Daoist's personal letter?
The 200 golden grains of sand were also related to the sacrificial offering.
"The so-called Desolate Evil Jungle Sacrificial Offering has a long history. Since ancient times, the Blessed and Heavenly Lands have held it every year, and it must be held. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire." The Deputy General Manager's tone was solemn.
Su Yu asked, "What will happen if the sacrificial offering isn't held?"
Is there a danger that could affect the whole Blessed and Heavenly Lands? It's really strange.
"In front of the sacrificial altar is the Desolate Evil Jungle, which has a circumference of only 1,000 miles. Powerful martial artists can fly over it in an instant, but for Tianya City and the Blessed and Heavenly Lands, it's a forbidden area for humans! Regardless of whether it's a fairy or a Divine Master, or even an All Creation strong man, once they enter the Desolate Evil Jungle, there's no record of them ever coming back alive. You didn't hear it wrong, even an All Creation strong man who enters the Desolate Evil Jungle will die! There has never been an exception! "
Su Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. Even an All Creation strong man will die if he enters it? He couldn't believe that such a dangerous place existed!
"According to the ancient records passed down by the Red Blood Palace, the Desolate Evil Jungle suddenly appeared in the land of Jiuzhou 10,000 years ago and occupied that area. It has never moved away since then. Since then, terrifying roots will appear in the Desolate Evil Jungle every year at this time. They will surge out from the depths of the Desolate Evil Jungle and cover the surrounding millions of miles of mountains and rivers. Wherever they pass, all spiritual things, including magical treasures and living creatures, will be drawn into the depths of the Desolate Evil Jungle, never to return."
He then added, "In the past, a few All Creation strong men from Jiuzhou joined hands to enter the jungle in order to investigate it. In the end, they never returned, and it's unknown whether they're dead or alive."
He then added, "Later on, when people ascended to the Fairy Realm, there was an altar in front of the Desolate Evil Jungle. As long as they follow the Mu words that appear on the altar every year at this time and give enough spiritual things, the vines won't appear and cause a disaster."
He then added, "Hence, since a long time ago, the people of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands started offering sacrifices to the altar every year in order to quell the disaster." The Deputy General Manager then added, "Tianya City is the closest to the altar, so this mission fell on Tianya City."
Su Yu gradually understood, and he asked in surprise, "Has no one ever successfully entered the Desolate Evil Jungle?"
"Yes!" The Deputy General Manager's eyes flickered. "In the past, there was a peerless strong man whose fighting prowess rivaled Jiuzhou's King. He entered the Desolate Evil Jungle alone and settled down there. He came out a few times, but he wasn't willing to divulge any details about the Desolate Evil Jungle. The last time he appeared was a thousand years ago, and there was no news of him after that.
