Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Time passed quickly, and a day and night passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the brilliant sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves of the dense forest. Through the morning fog, the rays of light scattered across the dense forest.
Inside the cave, the faint golden halo around Du Shaogang slowly retracted, like a small golden snake, mysteriously entering his body.
"Hu!"
A mouthful of turbid Qi flowed from his abdomen down his throat, and finally exhaled through his mouth. His eyelashes trembled a few times, and Du Shaofu opened his eyes. Faint golden light flickered in his eyes, faintly exuding a domineering sharpness and intimidating sharpness. Following which, his eyes gradually regained their clarity, and then became more profound.
A moment later, in a cave, the general, Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child, Du Shaofu, and the others gathered.
After recuperating for a day and night, and with the help of many pills, everyone's injuries had mostly recovered.
However, to Tie Hu, Luo Tianchen, and Pan Yu, who were already heavily injured, their injuries were still severe. To completely recover was definitely not something that could be done in a short period of time.
"Tomorrow is the day of the auction for the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine."
The general's gaze swept across everyone, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with seriousness.
Hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed, and the cave was silent for a moment.
Everyone knew that the academy wanted them to retrieve the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine and capture Ghost Claw, but the difficulty seemed to be much greater than they had imagined.
Those mysterious people were almost certainly related to Ghost Claw. Even if everyone attacked together, it would be difficult to contend against those people, and it would be even more difficult to retrieve the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine that was about to be auctioned off.
"Even if we inform the academy elders now, I'm afraid it will be too late," Luo Tianchen said.
From Dark City to Tianwu Academy, even for a Martial Lord, it would take at least two to three days. If they sent the news back to the academy elders now, even if the academy elders came to Dark City, who knew how many days it would take? Naturally, it would be difficult to make it in time.
By the time the elders arrived, the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine would probably have fallen into someone else's hands.
Moreover, everyone knew in their hearts that if the academy's elders could appear in the Dark City, they would have gone to the Dark City long ago and wouldn't need to attack them.
"Does anyone have any thoughts? If not, I think we can only enter the Dark City again. Even if we have to snatch it by force, we have to retrieve the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine. If the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine and Ghastly Claw leave the Dark City, the reputation of our Tianwu Academy will be completely tarnished." The general looked at the crowd and sighed.
Everyone was silent for a while. Guo Shaofeng raised his head slightly and said, "Let's take it. The Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine can't leave Dark City. If we just watch the Mysterious Spirit Heavenspan Vine and the Ghost Claw leave, we won't be able to go out and meet people in the future."
"Snatch!"
Ghost Child simply uttered a single word, and a faint murderous aura emanated from his body.
"The situation is different now. If we go and snatch it, let's not talk about the fact that the Mu Family Fort is watching over the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine. Even if the elders go and snatch it, I'm afraid they won't succeed. Moreover, it's difficult for us to do anything to Ghastly Claw and the others," Gu Xinyan said. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a dignified brilliance.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Naturally, everyone knew what Gu Xinyan had said.
"Is the Mu Family Fort watching over the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine now?" Du Shaofu asked the crowd.
"That's right. As far as we know, the Mu Family Fort is in charge of the auction." Wu Que nodded and said.
Du Shaofu raised his head and pondered for a while. He then looked at the crowd and said, "How about this? Let me go to the auction alone."
"Don't tell me you want to bid for the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine at the auction. We don't have the capital to get the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine." Guo Shaofeng reminded Du Shaofu again.
"If you want to go to the auction, I'm afraid it won't work."
Gu Xinyan also said to Du Shaofu. She looked at Du Shaofu with a doubtful gaze and said softly, "The Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine is priceless. Since the news of the auction spread, the entire Dark City has been in an uproar. According to the news I received, even the major forces in the surrounding empires have sent experts. If we want to bid for it, let alone the fact that we can't afford the price, the most important thing is that the Academy asked us to snatch it, not auction it. They didn't give us any resources to bid for it, so we can't compete at all. "
Gu Xinyan paused and looked at Du Shaofu's eyes. There was a slight fluctuation in her eyes. She opened her red lips and faintly revealed her teeth. She continued, "Even if we manage to get the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine at the auction, I'm afraid that as soon as we leave the Dark City, we will immediately be snatched by many forces. This is the Dark City and the Dark Forest. No one will follow the rules."
Du Shaofu had a faint, bitter smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "I don't plan on bidding for the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine. Since no one has any ideas right now, I want to give it a try. As for whether it will work or not, I don't know right now."
Everyone was silent when they heard this. After a while, the general looked at Du Shaofu and said, "What do you plan to do? Can you tell us?"
Du Shaofu shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but it is better than doing nothing. Maybe I will be able to come up with a solution when the time comes."
In fact, it was not that Du Shaofu didn't have a plan. However, since they suspected that there was a spy in the academy, Du Shaofu had to be careful and keep it a secret from everyone. It was always better to be careful.
"I agree with you. It is better than doing nothing. Maybe we will be able to come up with a solution when the time comes."
Gu Xinyan looked straight at Du Shaofu's clear eyes and said, "I'll go with you so that we can take care of each other. I should be more familiar with the Dark City than you. Maybe I can help you a little."
"Well..."
Du Shaofu hesitated for a bit before nodding his head.
"Although I don't know what you plan to do, if you need my help, just let me know. Or we can all go together, just the two of you. If something happens, there will be no one to take care of you. "The general said to Du Shaofu.
"I've almost recovered. How about I go with you?" Li Yuxiao also said to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu shook his head and said, "It will be inconvenient if there are too many people. It will attract attention." Du Shaofu looked at the general and said, "There really is something that I need your help with."
...
Several hours later, outside the Dark City, in front of the huge city gate, Du Shaofu looked at a woman wearing a cloak and a light red veil covering her face and said, "That's right, it should be like this. The effect is much better."
"Am I really that eye-catching?"
Under the red veil, a pair of beautiful eyes gazed at Du Shaofu. She smiled faintly and said, "However, I don't understand why you have to wear a cloak. It seems that not many people will look at you."
"Of course. You are so beautiful that you will attract attention wherever you go. I'm afraid that it won't be long before those people from last night notice us. As for me, those people from last night will definitely remember me. It won't be good if they recognize me. In addition, I also have some enemies in the Dark City. Now is not the time to deal with them. So, hiding for the time being is not wrong. "
Du Shaofu said helplessly. In order to make it easier to enter the Dark City, he had to wear a black cloak. First, he did not want to attract the attention of those mysterious assassins from last night.
Second, Du Shaofu did not forget that he still had an enemy in the Dark City, the Black Evil Sect.
At this time, Du Shaofu knew that it was not the time to deal with the Black Evil Sect.
Today, he entered the Dark City again in disguise. Du Shaofu only brought Du Xiaoyao and Gu Xinyan. He let Ouyang Shuang and the King Scaled Demonic Tiger stay with the general and the others. First, he was afraid that too many people would attract attention.
In addition, Ouyang Shuang and the King Scaled Demonic Tiger's strength was not enough. If something happened, Du Shaofu was afraid that he would not be able to protect them.
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Gu Xinyan smiled lightly. Her smile was beautiful, and her face under the red veil was breathtaking. However, no one could see it at this time. She said, "I didn't think that you would have enemies. Being your enemy must not be too good."
She still remembered that outside the Peace Square, she had seen with her own eyes how fierce this young man was. When he fought, he would not be polite at all.
Du Shaofu's clear eyes flashed with a cold light. He naturally had to take revenge on the Black Evil Sect, but now was not the time.
Of course, Du Shaofu also knew that his current strength was not enough to deal with the entire Black Evil Sect.
He knew from Wu Que that there were Martial Kings in the One Pavilion, One Castle, and Two Sects in the Dark City. It was rare to see them in the outside world.
"It seems that many people have Spiritual Weapons and Practitioner Weapons on them. I want to eat them."
Du Xiaoyao suddenly said. She squatted on Du Shaofu's shoulder and looked at the group of brightly dressed figures entering the city. She felt the aura of many Spiritual Weapons, and some people even had Practitioner Weapons on them.
She had already looked at Du Xiaoyao many times and heard Du Xiaoyao's words along the way. However, when she heard Du Xiaoyao say that she wanted to eat Spiritual Weapons and Practitioner Weapons, Gu Xinyan could not help but tremble.
Then, Gu Xinyan's eyes followed Du Xiaoyao's gaze and looked at the group of brightly dressed figures entering the city. She glanced at them, and under the red veil, her eyes narrowed slightly. She was like a misty rain that had gathered for half a lifetime. She said softly, "Tomorrow is the auction for the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine. Many forces, including the forces of the surrounding empires, have rushed into the Dark City. I'm afraid that tomorrow's auction will be very popular. However, no matter who obtains the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine in the end, danger will be everywhere."
"What are those people's motives?"
Du Shaofu murmured. If it was for the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine, Ghost Claw and the others could have fled far away.
