The one who made the bid was a grey-robed cultivator with a sallow complexion.
Ning Fan scanned him with his spirit sense and found out that he was at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. His qi had a faint trace of moonlight power.
Obviously, the cultivation method that this person cultivated was related to moonlight.
The reason why this person was willing to bid for the Blue Moon Grass at such a high price was definitely not because of the grass itself. He was probably interested in the moonlight marble where the grass grew.
As Ning Fan guessed, this old monster's devil title was Devil Lord Scarlet Moon. He cultivated a fiendgod cultivation method with the Scarlet Moon Devil Veins.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon did not have the intention to bid for the Blue Moon Grass in the first place. However, the strange stone under the grass gave him a very special feeling.
He could faintly feel that the stone contained the moon power inheritance of an expert. As long as he consumes this stone, the moonlight power in his devil veins would be greatly enhanced and his cultivation base would skyrocket.
As for how much his cultivation base would skyrocket, it would depend on how much moonlight power there was in the stone.
In Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's opinion, if he refines this stone and goes into seclusion for hundreds of years, he would at least have a high chance of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm in his lifetime.
Therefore, he was determined to get the strange stone under the Blue Moon Grass. It was impossible for him to give it to the little pill devil, Ming Que.
Seeing Devil Lord Scarlet Moon buying the Blue Moon Grass at such a high price, many old monsters vaguely guessed that the strange stone under the grass was somewhat extraordinary.
There were also a few old monsters who wanted to bid against Devil Lord Scarlet Moon. However, just as they raised their paddles, he glared at them coldly and they reluctantly gave up bidding.
A Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert was the supreme being of the internal sea.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon had a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base and he was an expert who was unrivalled among those at the same level as him. Apart from the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, no one dared to offend him.
Although Ming Que brought a dozen of Divine Transformation Realm servants with her, none of them were at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. In his eyes, they were just a motley crew who were not worth mentioning at all.
His gaze eventually landed on Ming Que with a hint of coldness and threat. His aura force shook, causing Ming Que's qi to stagnate and her primordial spirit to be injured. Her face immediately turned pale and a trace of sweet blood flowed out from the corner of her lips.
This aura force was a warning to Ming Que not to compete with him. Otherwise, he could not guarantee that he would not take an even more extreme revenge.
Even though the Mist Horn Clan had set a rule that forbade one from killing others and snatching their treasures during the auction, Red Moon still had plenty of ways to take revenge on Bright Sparrow once he left the Mist Horn Clan.
Seeing that Bright Sparrow seemed to have offended Demon Lord Scarlet Moon in order to bid for the Blue Moon Grass and was injured by him, the old man surnamed Qu was furious. However, he suppressed his anger and immediately transmitted a message to Bright Sparrow.
"Miss, this old servant knows that you like to consume natural treasures. Since you are willing to bid for this Blue Moon Grass, it must be very valuable. But it's not worth it to offend an old monster like Devil Lord Scarlet Moon for a mere worldly possession. The human heart is sinister and this Devil Lord Scarlet Moon isn't a benevolent person. If you offend him, there will be endless troubles in the future. "
"Don't worry, Grandpa Qu. I understand."
Bright Sparrow curled her lips. She knew that Grandpa Qu was right. Human beings were not as kind as she had imagined. It was not that there were no good people, but there were obviously more bad people in the Endless Sea.
She could see how precious the Blue Moon Grass was. The Blue Moon Grass was secondary, but the moonlight marble underneath it was the truly precious item. It contained the power of an expert's moonlight inheritance. Even if it did not correspond to her cultivation technique, it could still increase her cultivation by a lot.
But it was absolutely not worth becoming enemies with Devil Lord Scarlet Moon just for some moonlight inheritance.
Besides, she didn't have any extra immortal jades to bid against Devil Lord Scarlet Moon.
To Bright Sparrow, the Blue Moon Grass and the marble were just food. It was just a small matter that she couldn't buy them. However, being injured by Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's pressure was a great grievance. Bright Sparrow didn't like to be bullied by others. She had to swallow her anger, but she was no match for Devil Lord Scarlet Moon and couldn't fight back.
If Grandpa Tree or Biscuit Brother were by her side, they would certainly not watch her being bullied …
"Grandpa Tree is still in the Dark Sparrow's Grave. He definitely won't care about me. And where is Biscuit Brother …"
Bright Sparrow let out a faint sigh. Her sigh contained the melancholy of a young girl. She circulated her magic power and the paleness on her face faded a little. Her injuries were slightly stabilized, but her heart was still filled with anger.
Tsk, what rubbish Devil Lord Scarlet Moon? Isn't he just a Peak Spirit Severing expert? Wait until I eat more medicinal treasures and break through to a higher cultivation base. Then, I'll teach you a good lesson and cripple your primordial spirit. I'll let you know how powerful I am!
"I don't want this Blue Moon Grass anymore!" Bright Sparrow gently sat back on her seat. Old Man Qu's expression relaxed. Fortunately, he didn't cause any trouble.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon smiled coldly. Bright Sparrow was just an Early Spirit Severing expert after all. As long as he made a move, it would be perfectly normal for an Early Spirit Severing expert to be scared away from bidding against him.
The reason why he injured Bright Sparrow was not just to threaten her. More importantly, he guessed that Bright Sparrow had already found out that the peculiar stone contained an extremely strong moon power inheritance. By injuring her, it was also a warning for her not to talk too much. If Bright Sparrow talked too much and the other Void Refinement Realm old monsters bid for this item, Devil Lord Scarlet Moon wouldn't be able to get his hands on it.
"This Blue Moon Grass belongs to me now!"
He strode forward and was about to pay for the herb on the auction stage. All of a sudden, a cold voice was heard from behind him. It was the voice of a young man.
"210 million."
This voice was exceptionally clear in the silent auction venue. Obviously, someone was bidding against Devil Lord Scarlet Moon for the Blue Moon Grass.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and his eyes turned gloomy. He was so angry that he smiled.
He really wanted to know who had the guts to compete against him for the Blue Moon Grass even though they knew that he, Devil Lord Scarlet Moon, was determined to get it.
He turned his head coldly and prepared to teach the bidder a lesson. Whoever dares to disrespect me will have to pay the price!
However, as soon as he saw the direction of the bidder, his knees immediately went weak. He groaned incessantly and nearly fell to the ground out of fear.
The bidder was a young man in white robes who was sitting on the fourth floor.
As an old monster who had been roaming the Endless Sea for countless years, Devil Lord Scarlet Moon had heard of this young man's reputation countless times. It was impossible for him not to recognize him.
"M-Revered Ming!"
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon raised his head and met Ning Fan's cold eyes. It was just a gaze but it was filled with killing intent that could not be erased.
With just a gaze, Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's mind was in chaos. Layers of illusions appeared in front of his eyes. Each of them was a bloody ocean of slaughter. In that bloody ocean, Ning Fan killed countless Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm experts.
All of his killing intent was like a sharp sword that pierced Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's primordial spirit in his dantian.
A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's entire body. The pain was as if his primordial spirit was being torn into two halves!
* Puff *
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon spurted out a mouthful of blood. He took a few steps back in a daze before he managed to stabilize his body. His heart was filled with even more shock.
He could not believe that his cultivation base which was unrivalled below the seven venerated beings of the internal sea could not withstand Ning Fan's ferocious gaze!
It was as if Ning Fan could directly use his terrifying killing intent to tear Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's primordial spirit apart and bury him here!
"I want this Blue Moon Grass. Devil Lord Scarlet Moon, do you want to compete with me?"
Ning Fan walked out of the fourth floor and landed on the third floor beside Ming Que. His tone was indifferent.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon panicked. He immediately cupped his fists and said with a trembling voice, "If Revered Ming wants the Blue Moon Grass, how would I dare to compete with Revered Ming …?"
"Is that so?" Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. He released all of his aura force. All of a sudden, the weather within one hundred thousand li * (500m per li) of the Mist Horn Clan changed color.
All of his aura force was like a huge mountain pressing down on Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's head.
The bones in Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's knees gave off cracking sounds. With a loud thud, his knees were crushed and he knelt on the ground. His primordial spirit in his dantian was on the verge of collapsing. His cultivation base was on the verge of dropping to the Divine Transformation Realm in an instant. His blood splattered a few zhang * (3.33m per zhang)!
Countless cultivators were dumbfounded. Ning Fan had actually nearly crippled Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's cultivation base with just his ferocious aura force!
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon prostrated on the ground while coughing out blood continuously. He stared at Ning Fan in shock. He did not understand why Ning Fan attacked him at all. How did he offend Ning Fan?
He raised his head and saw Ning Fan treating Ming Que's injuries.
Ning Fan did not even look at Devil Lord Scarlet Moon. He reached out his hand and held Ming Que's small hand. Then, he transferred traces of black star healing power into her hand, instantly healing all of her injuries.
Ming Que was stunned. She stared at Ning Fan blankly and rubbed her eyes. She found it hard to believe. Isn't this white-robed young man in front of me my Brother Biscuit? Why is he here? Besides, why is Brother Biscuit's qi so strong? Why does everyone call him Revered Ming …?
Chi Yue was dumbfounded. He finally understood how he had offended Ning Fan …
Ning Fan was treating Ming Que's injuries. Even a fool could tell that Ning Fan certainly knew Ming Que and their relationship was certainly not ordinary. Rumor has it that Ning Fan has always been a lover. Could this little girl Ming Que also be one of his lovers?!
"I really have eight lifetimes of bad luck! Any young lady he casually injured would be Revered Ming's woman! I'm really courting death! "
Red Moon almost had the urge to curse. Why was he so unlucky! He knew that Ning Fan was cold-blooded and merciless. He had hurt Ning Fan's woman. There was no way Ning Fan would let him go.
"Biscuit Brother, why are you …"
Ming Que had a stomach full of questions that she wanted to ask Ning Fan. However, before she could open her mouth, Ning Fan had already gently pressed on her lips.
"Do not reveal my identity. Right now, my alias is Zhou Ming."
Even though Ning Fan had stopped Ming Que from speaking, the words' Brother Biscuit 'had undoubtedly confirmed the guesses of countless old monsters.
As expected, Bright Sparrow and Ning Fan know each other and their relationship is not ordinary …
Each of the old monsters looked at Devil Lord Scarlet Moon with eyes that were either cold, sarcastic or sympathetic.
It was a pity that Devil Lord Scarlet Moon had offended the Great Devil Lord Ning's woman of all people. There was no need to watch anymore. He was dead for sure.
Since Ning Fan had shown up, only a fool would bid against him for the Blue Moon Grass.
All the cultivators were waiting to watch a good show. Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's cultivation base was almost crippled. However, they did not know if Ning Fan would ignore the Mist Horn Clan's order of 'no killing' and directly start a massacre in the auction.
Su Yan frowned slightly. She did not expect that Ning Fan would cause an incident at the end of the auction.
Even though she saw the whole story and it was Devil Lord Scarlet Moon who attacked first, as the clan leader of the Mist Horn Clan, if Ning Fan really wants to kill Devil Lord Scarlet Moon in the Mist Horn Clan, it would certainly damage the clan's reputation.
Su Yan was not concerned about Devil Lord Scarlet Moon's life or death. However, she had already stated that killing is prohibited in the auction. If Devil Lord Scarlet Moon is killed by Ning Fan in the Mist Horn Clan, it would certainly damage the clan's reputation.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you promised me that you won't kill anyone in my clan …" She reminded him with a gentle voice. Her tone carried a hint of pleading. In other words, as long as Ning Fan does not kill Devil Lord Scarlet Moon, he could do whatever he wants to him.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. I always keep my words. I won't kill anyone in the Mist Horn Clan."
After hearing Ning Fan's guarantee, Su Yan felt relieved. Her impression of Ning Fan unconsciously improved a little.
"Scarlet Moon, I'll give you a chance. From today onwards, become her servant. I can spare your life for what happened today …"
Ning Fan pointed at Ming Que. His words left no room for refusal. All of a sudden, the entire place fell into dead silence.
He indeed did not kill anyone but he asked Devil Lord Scarlet Moon to become her servant. Since Ming Que, the little pill devil, liked to take in Divine Transformation Realm experts as her servants so much, he was also willing to make Devil Lord Scarlet Moon her servant.
No matter what, Devil Lord Scarlet Moon was a formidable person. Under normal circumstances, he would not be willing to become anyone's servant.
However, Ning Fan's words made Devil Lord Scarlet Moon lose his courage to reject him.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon was not a fool. Of course, he knew what would happen if he rejected Ning Fan's' good intention '.
He smiled bitterly. Who asked him to be unlucky and hurt Ming Que? Becoming her servant could be considered as his retribution.
"I won't dare to disobey Revered Ming's order …" He admitted his defeat. Being someone's servant was better than being dead.
He allowed Ming Que to plant a restriction on him. It was the Immemorial Dark Sparrow's royal bloodline demon restriction. It could easily control his life and death.
Ming Que stared at Ning Fan. She was so surprised that she did not know what to say.
Ever since she entered the Endless Sea, she only knew how to look for spiritual herbs to eat. She was a typical foodie who was indifferent to the rumors in the outside world. She did not know how infamous Ning Fan was at all.
Her impression of Ning Fan was still the same as in the past. In her memory, Ning Fan seemed to be just at the Harmonious Spirit Realm …
In the past, Ning Fan who was at the Harmonious Spirit Realm had become so strong that he could scare a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert with just a sentence after just a few decades. It was really unbelievable.
When she thought about how Ning Fan punished Devil Lord Scarlet Moon today just to help her vent her anger, she suddenly felt an inexplicable joy.
Sure enough, Brother Biscuit treats me the best … Not only did he help me vent my anger, but he also helped me capture a Peak Divine Transformation Realm servant.
Ming Que looked at Devil Lord Scarlet Moon with a smile. From today onwards, she would teach this new servant a good lesson.
Devil Lord Scarlet Moon felt a chill down his spine. He looked at Ming Que's eyes and let out a hollow laugh. Inwardly, he was complaining incessantly. From today onwards, he was probably going to suffer a lot.
"Let's go. The auction is coming to an end. The items that will be auctioned next won't be able to impress me. Come with me. Tell me why you came to the Endless Sea. "
Ning Fan's eyes indifferently swept across Old Man Qu. Immediately, Old Man Qu lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
There was an extremely faint trace of the Immemorial Dark Sparrow's qi in Old Man Qu's demon blood. It could not hide from Ning Fan's senses.
Ning Fan guessed that there might be another reason why Ming Que appeared in the Endless Sea. Out of concern for her, he had to find out the reason.
* Chi *
When Ning Fan and the others left, Su Yan pondered for a while. Suddenly, she opened her red lips and sent a secret message.
The secret message went into Ning Fan's ears. The others naturally did not know what Su Yan said.
"I have something that I don't understand and I want to ask Fellow Daoist about it. If Fellow Daoist is free, Su Yan will be waiting for you by the Plain Green Lake three days later at midnight. "
"Alright."
Ning Fan also replied her using telepathy, which meant that he had agreed to Su Yan's invitation.
He knew that Su Yan's purpose of inviting him was certainly not related to Moon Breeze. She must have sensed the soul connection between the two of them and wanted to ask about it.
Anyway, Ning Fan was prepared to use the Mind Reading Technique to find out the whereabouts of the devil statue slate. It was fine for him to meet Su Yan three days later.
The reason why he did not directly abduct Su Yan was firstly because of her identity as a devil concubine. Ning Fan had a connection with her soul and he had a trace of tolerance towards her that originated from his bloodline.
Secondly, Ning Fan had yet to figure out the background of the Mist Horn Clan. Only God knew if the Mist Horn Clan had a powerful background like the Eight Ancestors who were both immortal and undead like the Giant Devil Clan.
Using Su Yan as the starting point to obtain information and steal the devil statue slate of the Mist Horn Clan was the safest choice.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to obtain the fourth slate three days later …"
