Tonight, Ling Yun had already made up his mind to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. He wanted to give Zhuang Meifeng a huge surprise as a present for their reunion. Therefore, unless there was no other way, he did not want to reveal his identity too early.
Given his current situation, as long as his identity was exposed, he would immediately become the target of public criticism. If things went awry, it might even lead to a great battle ahead of time. At that time, not only would the auction be ruined, but even the Devil Subduing Conference tomorrow night would probably be completely ruined.
Of course, Ling Yun wasn't afraid of ruining the Devil Subduing Conference. His goal was to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all his enemies who had come to Wind Thunder Valley to participate in the Devil Subduing Conference!
However, the strongest experts who had come to Wind Thunder Valley were only at the pinnacle of the third level of the Divine Power Realm. Moreover, most of them were obviously here to participate in the auction. Ling Yun's truly powerful enemies hadn't shown up yet. If he were to fight prematurely, he would only be killing some small fries. On the contrary, he would alert the real big fish and let it go.
For example, the abbess of the Tranquil Sect and a few of the strongest elders around her, as well as the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, the Villa Lord of Deity Sword Mountain, and so on. There were also the top experts of the Long and Ye Families. It was as if they had discussed this beforehand.
If that was really the case, Ling Yun's trip would have been a waste. It wouldn't have much meaning to him.
Therefore, Ling Yun wanted to spend the night as peacefully as possible. He would wait until tomorrow night, when the moon was full and the Devil Subduing Conference would begin. Only then would he go on a killing spree!
After Priestess Desireless stopped Ling Yun, she couldn't be bothered to look at him anymore. She snorted coldly and flew back to the Tranquil Sect's team.
Zhuang Meifeng suddenly stopped and turned around. With an apologetic expression, she said, "Little brother, I might not be able to personally send you out of the valley tomorrow. If you are not afraid of walking in the dark, you can leave now. If you wish to leave in the morning, you can stay here. Don't wander off on your own. When the time comes, my sect will send someone to send you out of the valley … We will meet again, I'm sorry!"
Zhuang Meifeng's words had a hidden meaning. Based on Priestess Desireless's reaction and the reaction of the Tranquil Sect, she knew that she wouldn't have a chance to be alone with this young man from now on. Priestess Desireless wouldn't allow her to personally send the young man out of the valley. If she persisted, it would only arouse the Tranquil Sect's suspicions.
Her only hope now was this young man. Now that all the heroes of the world were attending the auction in the Wind Thunder Valley, as long as this young man could take this opportunity to leave safely, regardless of whether he recovered his memory and found Ling Yun or Ling Yun found her, she would be able to die without regrets if the young man told Ling Yun about her current situation and her feelings.
Therefore, Zhuang Meifeng only said these words to Ling Yun after much consideration. She only hoped that with his intelligence, he would be able to understand what she was implying.
In front of the Tranquil Sect's elders, Zhuang Meifeng didn't even dare to use telepathy on the young man, afraid that Priestess Desireless and the rest would see through it.
Ling Yun only laughed and said casually, "Beautiful Sister, don't worry about me. The moon is hanging high in the sky now, a mere mountain forest at night isn't enough to scare me. I don't need anyone to send me off, I can leave by myself."
He waved his hand at Zhuang Meifeng and said, "If this place doesn't keep me, there will be a place for me. Beautiful Sister, I'm leaving now, see you again! "
With that, Ling Yun turned around and strode towards the entrance of the valley without looking back.
Seeing the young man walk away, Zhuang Meifeng's heart felt as if it had been smashed by a heavy hammer. She knew that from here to Tianmen Mountain, including the more than ten kilometers of treacherous mountain roads, it was a total of twenty kilometers. This young man would need at least three hours to reach the foot of Tianmen Mountain.
Moreover, this was under the condition that he wouldn't encounter any wild beasts or evil Jianghu people. In short, this journey was too dangerous, and it was easy for the young man to get into trouble.
However, the young man still left without any hesitation. He was very resolute. Just from the words "see you again", Zhuang Meifeng knew that the young man understood what she was implying. He was going to look for Ling Yun alone and get help for her.
Zhuang Meifeng was very worried for the young man. She was very touched, but more than that, she couldn't bear to part with him!
"Why am I so reluctant to let him go?"
After realizing that the strongest emotion she had towards the young man was actually reluctance, Zhuang Meifeng was very confused. She couldn't think of the reason. It was normal to be worried and touched, but why did she feel as if the person closest to her was leaving him when he left?
Although the young man was indeed very important to her, Zhuang Meifeng knew that the reluctance was obviously not because of that. It was a special feeling that came from instinct, a subconscious intuition.
"Lichen, let this kind of person live and die on his own. We are all empty, what is there to be worried about? Go quickly! "
Seeing that Zhuang Meifeng was still staring at the young man after he left, Priestess Desireless immediately became furious and urged her.
"Yes."
Zhuang Meifeng suppressed the strong emotions in her heart and turned around calmly. However, her heart was already filled with hatred, and she wanted to draw her sword and kill Priestess Desireless.
…
Ling Yun walked forward in big strides. After walking for another thousand meters, a slender figure appeared beside him like a ghost, walking silently with him.
"I'm fine."
After walking for a distance, Ling Yun suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Ye Xingchen laughed and teased, "Your eyes are already red, and you still say you're fine."
Ling Yun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ye Xingchen. He said helplessly, "Big Sister, you can see through it, but don't say it."
"Just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes were smiling as she comforted Ling Yun. Then, she said casually, "The auction has already begun. The representatives of the Long Family, the Ye Family, and the Heavenly Team have all arrived."
Ling Yun nodded, his eyes shining. "These three forces all have their own auctions, so they will naturally send people to check on the situation here."
"Moreover, the Long Family and the Ye Family both know that I will definitely attend the Devil Subduing Conference, so they will naturally send people to keep an eye on me and pay attention to my movements."
There was no need to think about this. It was inevitable. Even though the Long Family, the Ye Family, and the Ling Family had temporarily formed a tripartite balance of power in Beijing, Ling Yun's departure from Beijing didn't mean that the three forces would end their struggle and live in harmony from now on.
Moreover, Beijing was the home of the emperor, and the imperial capital of Huaxia was a flourishing city. It was precisely because of this that the three forces couldn't fight openly. Now that Ling Yun had left Beijing, they no longer had to restrain themselves and could fight freely.
The true struggle for supremacy among the three great families of Huaxia had only just begun!
Ling Yun asked, "Have the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Shushan appeared?"
Ye Xingchen shook her head. "It's impossible for them to appear at such a small event tonight. Even if they did come, they will definitely appear together tomorrow night to deal with us."
Ling Yun asked again, "Other than my old friends, who else are my enemies here tonight?"
Ye Xingchen answered in a low voice, "Kunlun Sword Sect, Kongtong Sect, Mount Hua Sword Sect, Mount Emei, and a few other hidden families … These sects had all sent people to attack the Ling Family in the past, forcing Master and Uncle Ling to …"
A murderous glint flashed across Ling Yun's eyes. "Tomorrow night, don't leave a single one of these sects alive. Kill them all! Tonight, if we discover any of them leaving early, we will also intercept and kill them on the way. We can't let a single enemy escape this time! "
Ye Xingchen laughed. "Don't worry, I've already asked the Assassins Organization's Kings of Assassins to set up an ambush outside the Wind Thunder Valley. None of them will be able to leave!"
Ling Yun already knew that Ye Xingchen had more than thirty Assassins Kings under him. All of them were above Xiantian Realm Level Eight, and they were best at concealment, assassination, and spying. Thus, he wasn't surprised.
He changed the topic and asked, "Do you know what will be auctioned tonight?"
Even though Ling Yun had gained a lot from the Ye Family's auction and didn't need any more items for the Wind Thunder Valley's auction, he was still looking forward to picking up some leftovers.
Ye Xingchen said in a low voice, "I've found out a little. This auction is actually organized by Mount Longhu, the Shaolin Temple, and a few other forces. Therefore, the main auction items are the Dragon Tiger Pill, Great Recovery Pill, and Evil-Warding Talismans. If there's anything special, it's the Gelsemium elegans that the Tranquil Sect needs. I heard that there's also a piece of ten-thousand-year Ice Soul and a Mystic Magnet Crystal. As for the rest, I don't know. "
"Ten-thousand-year Ice Soul, Mystic Magnet Crystal …"
Ling Yun was very tempted. That was because materials like magnets and magnetic crystals were all good materials for setting up top-notch formations. They were very useful to him.
As for the ten-thousand-year Ice Soul, Ling Yun could use it to make Frost Talismans or forge weapons. It could also be used as the core of a formation. It was definitely a good item.
"How do you usually conduct transactions at such an auction?"
Ling Yun was very curious. If it was the Ye Family's auction, it wouldn't be a problem to use money from the secular world. However, in this desolate wilderness, where would one get a computer to transfer money? It was even more impossible to carry a few billion in cash.
"It's very simple. Normally, you use the Heavenly Team's merit points to conduct transactions. All communication devices in the ancient martial arts world have this function. Alternatively, the auctioneer will directly request for an item to be exchanged. If there's nothing that the auctioneer wants, they won't sell it."
Ye Xingchen was very familiar with such auctions. She explained to Ling Yun.
"What?!"
Ling Yun was very shocked. "The Heavenly Team's merit points can actually be used here? Then … isn't the Heavenly Team's merit points equivalent to the hard currency of the entire ancient martial arts world? "
Seeing Ling Yun's shocked expression, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but giggle. "That's the truth. If you think that the Huaxia Heavenly Team is just a national department, then you're very wrong. Just think about the Great Elders and the members of the Heavenly Team. You'll understand."
Ling Yun was instantly enlightened.
Needless to say, the Long Family, Ye Family, Mount Longhu, Mount Wudang, Shaolin Temple … These were the most powerful forces in Huaxia's ancient martial arts world that controlled the Heavenly Team. Moreover, the members of the Heavenly Team came from all the major forces in the ancient martial arts world. Since they all recognized and used the Heavenly Team's merit points, after a few decades, the merit points would naturally become the hard currency of the entire ancient martial arts world!
At the same time, Ling Yun completely understood why that person at the summit wanted him to become the Great Elder of the Heavenly Team, and the more spots he occupied, the better.
Controlling the Heavenly Team was equivalent to controlling the entire ancient martial arts world of Huaxia!
Thinking of this, Ling Yun became excited. "Come, let's go take a look!"
