I believe that the Dark Forest is filled with turbulent undercurrents and unpredictable changes. Although the Tianwu Academy will not interfere in the matters of the Dark Forest, if the Mu Clan Fort needs to stay in the Tianwu Academy for a period of time, I believe that the Tianwu Academy will not reject the favor owed to them. I believe that this is enough.
"These are indeed tempting, and I am tempted by them. To be able to make Tianwu Academy owe you a favor, its value is definitely not below that of the Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine. You have a sharp tongue, and you're not simple at all."
Mu Mingqing looked at Du Shaofu and smiled. However, he shook his head and said, "I have to say that if the Mu Clan Fort was not located in the Dark City, I would definitely be moved by your words."
Mu Mingqing paused for a moment, then looked at Du Shaogang and said, "However, you still do not understand the Dark City well enough. The Dark City is very realistic. Intangible things like human relationships pale in comparison to the Dark City. After witnessing the deceit and cruelty of the Dark Forest, no one will believe in intangible things like human relationships. Tangible benefits are the most important. I will give you one last chance, see if you can move me."
...
Outside the courtyard, Gu Xinyan had been waiting quietly. She stood there quietly. Many Mu Clan Fort disciples could not help but steal glances at the graceful curve of her face under the red veil.
An entire hour later, Du Shaofu's figure finally appeared at the entrance under the gazes of many people.
When Du Shaofu walked to Gu Xinyan's side, Gu Xinyan asked, "What's the result?"
Du Shaofu nodded at Gu Xinyan and said softly, "I think we should prepare for the auction tomorrow. Let's go back first."
...
Inside the study, Mu Mingqing stood by the window and watched the purple-robed figure leave. His eyes flickered and he seemed to have thought of something. A faint smile appeared on his face as he murmured, "Time really flies."
"Big Brother, did you promise that kid? Is our Mu Clan Fort really going to get involved in this mess?"
A few burly men and elders walked over, including Lu Linchao. Their gazes all fell on Mu Mingqing.
Mu Mingqing looked at the crowd and finally looked at Lu Linchao. "Fifth brother, didn't you notice anything when you fought with that kid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Mingqing stretched out his hands from behind his back, and then a series of profound hand seals began to form in his hands. Waves of aura suddenly began to silently bloom ….
As Mu Mingqing's hand seal slowly took shape, Lu Linchao and the others' expressions changed drastically.
"So this kid …"
Lu Linchao was the first to react. Then, he straightened his burly figure and said, "It seems that the Mu Clan Fort has no choice but to intervene this time."
"That's right. We have no choice but to intervene." The old man and the burly man nodded in agreement. ….
Time flew by, and it was nighttime again. Dark City was not dark at all. It was brightly lit, as if it was daytime.
There were still people talking about the night when the Four Seas Inn was razed to the ground. But for the people of the Dark City, it was almost forgotten. For the Dark City, aside from the four major forces, it was unknown how many forces were destroyed every day and how many new forces would emerge every day. Not many people would remember it, they were already numb to it. All of this was just a topic for the people of the Dark City to talk about during their leisure time.
Right now, the hottest topic in Dark City was the auction that would be held in the Mu Clan Trading Company tomorrow. It was rumored that the students of Tianwu Academy were involved in the battle at the Four Seas Inn a few days ago, and the other group of experts were related to the Ghost Claw.
This made people wonder if there would be a big show at the auction in the Mu Clan Store tomorrow. Recently, there were many external forces that entered Dark City, and most of them were here for the Mysterious Spirit Vine. Who would be the one to obtain the Mysterious Spirit Vine in the end?
The night was as dark as ink, and there were no stars or moon. Occasionally, there would be flashes of light in the sky, as if it was going to rain tomorrow.
In a secluded courtyard, a twenty-five or twenty-six year old silver-haired man stood by the window. His extremely glossy long silver hair flowed down like a waterfall. It was loosely tied up with a single colored ribbon. His eyes were currently looking at the ink-black night sky. The sky was constantly flickering with light as he softly said, "After tomorrow, after killing a few people, everything will no longer have anything to do with us."
Behind the silver-haired man, a grey-robed man stood respectfully. The wide hat on the back of the grey-robed man covered his entire face, and only his eyes could be seen. In the dark night, his eyes were emitting a cold light. He looked at the silver-haired man and said in a low voice, "Everything is under our control. Should we close the net now? Everything can be settled as soon as possible."
"It's not the time yet. Let's settle it tomorrow."
The silver-haired man's voice had a fleeting feeling to it. His eyes seemed to push people a thousand miles away, causing people to involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts. He then continued, "It's best to be careful. After all, the Dark City still has a pavilion and a castle."
"Yes!"
The grey-robed man nodded and replied respectfully.
…
It was a vast complex of buildings and huge pavilions. They had an antique feel to them, but there were traces of evil aura in the air.
"Tomorrow, we must get the Mysterious Spirit Vine."
In the hall, a middle-aged man in a brown robe said to a black-robed young man.
"Don't worry, father. I will definitely get the Mysterious Spirit Vine. No one can compete with us."
The black-robed young man replied, as if he was confident. Then, he said softly, "Whoever dares to stand in the way of our Black Killing Sect is courting death!"
Night covered the sky, and the curtain of night covered Dark City.
For the ordinary people in Dark City, they did not feel much. However, for the various forces, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
When the first ray of light spread out from the eastern horizon, many places in Dark City seemed to have suddenly awakened. Many people began to walk out, and all of them were looking at the Mu Family Trading Company.
Today's auction of the Mu Family Trading Company was not simple. It was said that other than the Mysterious Spirit Vine, which had not been auctioned yet, many other treasures would be auctioned in this auction.
It was also said that this was definitely the rarest auction in the history of the Mu Family Trading Company, and many treasures would appear. Therefore, this kind of attraction was a huge temptation for any cultivator.
In the room, the morning light slowly spread out outside the window, leaving mottled traces in the room.
On the bed, a purple-robed young man, who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, was already a young man. He had a resolute face, and a determination that was rarely seen in people of the same age.
As the sky gradually brightened, the faint golden circle of light around the purple-robed young man's body began to slowly enter his body. The eyelashes on his eyes faintly trembled a few times, and then, he opened his eyes. The faint golden light in his eyes flickered, and slowly disappeared, becoming clear and bright.
"Huff …"
When he spat out a mouthful of turbid air, a domineering and fierce aura suddenly spread out from the purple-robed young man's body, like a real Roc spreading its wings, causing the entire room to tremble.
"I'm almost going to break through again. I can't break through yet. I'll continue to suppress it, and stabilize my foundation. I'll be as firm as a rock!"
The purple-robed young man softly muttered to himself. This purple-robed young man was naturally Du Shaofu. After a night of breathing, he was almost about to break through again.
However, Du Shaofu once again forcefully resisted the temptation of breaking through, and with great difficulty, he once again suppressed it.
Du Shaofu had not allowed himself to break through. He continuously suppressed it, and it was better for his foundation to be as firm as possible. Breaking through was not something that could be done in a short period of time!
Feeling the abundant Profound Energy within his body, a slight smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face. He took out the small pagoda from his bosom, and lightly stroked it. He didn't know when his big brother Zhen Qingchun would come out of closed-door training, nor did he know when his big brother Zhen Qingchun would be able to return to his peak.
After a short while, Du Shaofu put away the small pagoda, and only then did he jump off the bed. Then, he put on a cloak that covered his face from yesterday, pushed open the door, and walked out.
In the small hall, Gu Xinyan seemed to have been waiting for a long time, while Du Xiaoyao sat quietly to the side. In addition, Mu Zhenghao was also waiting in the small hall. When he saw Du Shaofu, he said, "Brother Shaofu, everything has been arranged. Someone will bring you to the VIP room."
"Thank you, Brother Zhenghao." Du Shaofu nodded his head to express his thanks.
"It's nothing. I'm a little busy today, so I can't accompany you. I'll take my leave first. See you later."
After Mu Zhenghao said his goodbyes, he hurriedly left. Today's auction of the Mu Family Trading Company was extraordinary. As the Young Fort Master of the Mu Family Fort, he naturally had no free time.
Looking at Mu Zhenghao's back as he left, Gu Xinyan was still wearing the red veil that covered her face. She looked sideways at Du Shaofu through the red veil, and said, "You still haven't told me what you talked about with the Mu Family Fort Master yesterday. Is the Mu Family Fort really going to help us?"
Du Shaofu's expression changed slightly, and then he said softly, "I don't know what to say. Let's go to the auction first. We'll know what will happen today then."
"Alright." Gu Xinyan did not ask any more questions, because she trusted the young man in front of her.
