In fact, every time the Ye family held an auction, they would use a secret channel to promote the East Sea Itinerant Cultivators Alliance, especially when they were going to auction the secret map.
This was because the three major auction houses in the capital of China knew that the East Sea Itinerant Cultivators Alliance was determined to get the secret map.
The reason was simple. There were many disciples from declining cultivation sects in the East Sea Itinerant Cultivators Alliance. Almost all of these people had Qi Cultivating Methods. They often cultivated very fast in the early stage and could easily crush the ancient martial arts geniuses of the same age. However, once they entered the Qi Cultivating Stage, their cultivation speed would suddenly drop and become slower and slower. Many people would even stagnate.
This situation was not caused by their lack of talent or understanding, but a very objective and realistic reason. That was the exhaustion of spiritual energy on Earth and the fact that they were very poor. They couldn't find or buy the cultivation resources they needed!
The East Sea Itinerant Cultivators Alliance was located on hundreds of islands of different sizes in the vast East Sea. After thousands of years, how many paradises could there be? How many secret realms could there be for those people to cultivate day and night?
How many years would it take for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Cultivating Stage to break through to the next realm just by breathing and meditating day and night and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon?
Therefore, as long as the cultivators in the East Sea Itinerant Cultivators Alliance reached the Qi Cultivating Stage, they would encounter such a situation.
Over the years, there had been many rogue cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining Realm sneaking back to the mainland to look for a blessed place with abundant Spiritual Qi or to explore the legendary secret realms. As long as they found one, their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time and quickly pull ahead of others. Or, they could bring out all kinds of mysterious treasures from the secret realms and sell them in the Huaxia Auction House. Then, they could exchange them for the cultivation resources they needed. In this way, they could achieve the same result through different means and it could also double their cultivation speed. At least, it would be less painful.
However, how could it be so easy?
The current Earth was in the End of Days. Spiritual Qi was exhausted, and science and technology were advanced. All the famous mountains, rivers, and ancient relics had long been occupied by the prosperous cultivation sects, ancient martial arts sects, and reclusive families on the inland. How much trouble could a few individual cultivators in the Refinement Stage cause?
For example, the five itinerant cultivators from the East Sea who came to participate in the Ye Clan's auction could not even touch the Ye Clan. Everything could only be done according to the rules of the auction.
Not to mention top forces like Shushan Sword Sect, Kunlun Sword Sect, or Heavenly Sword Sect. The territories of those forces were things that they didn't even dare to enter.
There was only one way left, and that was to bid for the Secret Territory Map!
Only this kind of secret territory map that was accidentally discovered by others was an ownerless land. Normal ancient martial arts cultivators could not explore it and were willing to auction it. Then, they would pool their money to buy it. Then, they would explore the secret territory together to find their own opportunities to increase their cultivation.
Many regulars who attended various auctions for years basically understood the situation. Most of them knew that even if they managed to get the map, they wouldn't have the ability to explore such a dangerous secret realm. In fact, they wouldn't even be able to safely take the map away, which was why most of them would just make a symbolic bid. As long as there were divine-tier elites bidding on the second floor, they would simply give up.
Therefore, the final transaction price of this kind of secret territory map was usually very low. The reason was simple. If the secret territory was easy to explore, why would those who knew about it sell it?
Just like Mang Xing, he must have used everything he had learned and explored all the places he could before he was willing to tell others about the location of the secret territory.
The Ye Clan Auction House definitely knew that even with the Ye Clan's entire strength, they wouldn't be able to explore the secret territory. Therefore, they put the map up for auction. On one hand, it was a gimmick. On the other hand, they naturally hoped that the winner would bring out more treasures from the secret territory and continue to auction it through their auction house. They could earn a handsome commission!
Therefore, the Ye Clan Auction House never cared about the high price of the map — as long as it didn't go unsold, they would make a profit.
But this time, Ling Yun, a cultivator who was known as the Mystery Hunter in the Cultivation World, had come. He saw that there was a secret territory map, and Xia Houming's explanation made sense. Most importantly, the price was so low. How could he not fight for it?!
As long as there was a secret territory, whether it was real or fake, he was willing to spend one or two billion to buy the location and explore it.
He would rather buy the wrong thing than let it go. That was his principle.
Ling Yun was a super nouveau riche now. He had money. Therefore, he used it to crush the five poor people from the East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance. Moreover, the bidder was Xiao Meimei, who was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Three.
If they couldn't get the secret territory map, the five people from the East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance would have come for nothing. Moreover, they were slapped in the face by a Xiantian Realm expert. How could they let this go?!
The people from the East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance, regardless of whether they were ancient martial arts practitioners or cultivators, lived on the island all year round. Most of them were narrow-minded, arrogant, selfish, and greedy.
Therefore, even though they were poor, they didn't care about the ancient martial arts practitioners on the mainland. They didn't care about Xiao Meimei and her escorts either.
The purpose of these five people guarding here was actually the same as Ling Yun. They wanted to rob all the experts who came to kill Xiao Meimei tonight. That way, not only would they be able to get the secret map for free, but they would also be able to earn a huge sum of money!
In fact, if possible, even the three Spirit Cultivators from the Nanyang Rogue Cultivator Alliance were within their hunting range.
If they successfully achieved their goal, they wouldn't have to explore the secret territory. They would have earned enough from this trip inland!
It could be said that they each had their own ulterior motives.
However, the leader of the five people from the East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance, Wang Chongxiao, who was at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation Level Six, would never have dreamed that Ling Yun would be able to crush him so easily with his own strength!
Not only could Ling Yun crush him easily, but Ling Yun also had five devil-like helpers from the Blood Clan who could easily crush his four companions!
Wang Chongxiao was the only one who could feel the terrifying pressure from Ling Yun. Especially Ling Yun's strength, it was too terrifying. It was not a strength that a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation Level could possess.
Now that Ling Yun had broken through his defense and was chasing after him, Wang Chongxiao knew that if this continued, he would be killed by Ling Yun sooner or later. Once he died, his four companions wouldn't even be able to escape!
Wang Chongxiao had no choice but to change his plan again. He began to summon helpers and formed a temporary alliance with the three spirit cultivators from Nanyang. He already knew that the three of them were hiding nearby. They were sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, waiting for the fisherman to reap the benefits.
Naturally, Ling Yun also knew that the three spirit cultivators from Nanyang were nearby. Therefore, he didn't exert any strength and only pressured Wang Chongxiao to do so.
Because this was the only way he could capture all eight of them in one fell swoop!
The three spirit cultivators were watching the battle in the dark. Naturally, they were also analyzing the strength of both sides. If Ling Yun's performance was too strong, the other party probably wouldn't even show up and would directly escape.
Sure enough, after the three spirit cultivators carefully compared the various forces, they heard Wang Chongxiao's call and immediately appeared on a mountain two kilometers away.
After they appeared, they were like three ghosts, rushing towards the battlefield at high speed!
Ling Yun was instantly overjoyed!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Ling Yun flew quickly in the air and slashed at Wang Chongxiao three times. After sending him flying, he immediately sent a sound transmission to Edward and the other five Blood Clan members below, "The five of you, get ready. When the three of them arrive, use the Cage of Darkness at the same time and trap the four people on the ground. Of course, it would be best if you can kill two of them directly!"
Ling Yun had just burned more than ten drops of God Essence. His divine sense was tyrannical, and he was observing the strength of the three spirit cultivators through their momentum.
"The three of them are about the same in terms of strength. Their cultivation levels are around the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm."
Ling Yun quickly made a judgment. At the same time, he had already thought of a way to deal with them. He hadn't used his strength yet. He was waiting for the other party!
Because the three of them had Purple Chalcedony on them!
Then, Ling Yun sent a sound transmission to Xiao Meimei, "Xiao Meimei, hurry up and get out of the car. Stay away from that truck!"
Xiao Meimei received the order and immediately jumped out of the car. Her body floated, and in an instant, she was seven to eight feet away from the truck.
The three spirit cultivators had been watching the battle from afar for a long time. They had already compared the strength of the two sides. Wang Chongxiao was right. If they didn't show up, the five people from the East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance would be killed by the other party sooner or later. Then, Ling Yun would deal with them. The three of them could only escape or die!
But if they joined in immediately, they could instantly turn the whole situation around. So they rushed over!
The three spirit cultivators from the Nanyang Wandering Cultivators Alliance didn't fly. Instead, their figures flickered as they traversed through the forest and arrived in an instant!
But none of them joined in the battle, nor did they make a move to kill. Instead, they all rushed towards the truck with the treasures!
"You guys!"
Wang Chongxiao was furious. These three spirit cultivators were extremely shameless. They rushed over and actually wanted to take advantage of the time when he was entangled with Ling Yun to snatch the treasures!
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot. If the three of them really succeeded, it would really be like a wedding dress for others!
"Good move!"
Ling Yun was in the air, but he was beaming with joy. He even praised the three of them. He was really too happy because the other party's actions were exactly what he wanted!
"Move the Mountain, hide!"
Just as the three spirit cultivators were about to reach the truck, Ling Yun suddenly burned his Divine Yuan Force and used it to move the truck into the air!
The East Ocean Wandering Cultivators Alliance and the Nanyang Wandering Cultivators Alliance were all here. Ling Yun finally began to exert his strength!
The truck rushed into the sky. Ling Yun was already prepared. Under the burning of his Divine Yuan Force, the speed of the sword reached its limit. It actually broke through the sound barrier and caused the air to explode!
In a flash!
Ling Yun was almost on top of the truck in an instant. At the same time, he slapped the truck with his big hand!
"Keep!"
The truck with the five heaven-defying treasures was completely kept into Ling Yun's spatial ring and disappeared!
The five treasures were bait. Now that all the big fish had taken the bait, Ling Yun naturally had to take the bait away!
The one who moved the mountain was the truck, but the one who hid was Xiao Meimei. Naturally, it was for her safety.
The truck disappeared without a trace, and hundreds of huge black iron balls appeared out of thin air! They quickly formed an array in the air!
"Armillary Sphere Maze Formation! Fall! "
"Whoosh!"
Hundreds of huge iron balls were waved by Ling Yun and fell to the ground at lightning speed. They formed the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation and trapped the three spirit cultivators of the Nanyang Wandering Cultivators Alliance in it. It was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Keep the truck, hide Xiao Meimei, and trap three spirit cultivators!
Ling Yun did it in one go!
