Chen Zong didn't miss the auction hosted by Gu Xuan Lou, but he didn't get anything either.
Firstly, there was nothing he needed at the auction.
Secondly, he didn't have enough wealth.
Currently, Chen Zong needed high-level body-refining techniques and martial arts, as well as treasures that could increase his cultivation level quickly without any side effects.
Unfortunately, there was only one body-refining technique at the auction, and it was a middle-grade saint-level one. It didn't meet Chen Zong's requirements.
Moreover, even if it met Chen Zong's requirements, Chen Zong couldn't afford it.
After all, Chen Zong's wealth was only around 4,000 Earth Essence Elixirs.
The most common middle-grade saint-level technique would cost at least 5,000 Earth Essence Pills.
There were also treasures that could increase one's cultivation level. Chen Zong also bid for them. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough wealth, so he failed in the end.
It could be said that Chen Zong didn't get anything from the auction.
No, it should be said that he didn't get anything other than some knowledge.
Chen Zong wasn't disappointed.
Although Tianyuan Sacred Region had more resources than the Four Upper Regions, one had to have the corresponding wealth or ability to obtain them.
"Is Chaos Sword Chen Zong here?"
An indifferent voice came from outside the Xuanming Courtyard.
"Who is it?" Chen Zong asked as he opened the door.
A young man in black with shoulder-length hair was standing outside the door. Half of his face was covered by black hair, revealing the other half of his face.
"You're Chen Zong, the Chaos Sword?" The young man in black held a long black sword and stared at him coldly. "Come with me."
Chen Zong was a little surprised.
"What do you want?" Chen Zong replied directly.
He wanted him to come with him for no reason. Was he that free?
"Young Master wants you to go over," the cold man in black said. Then, he added, "Young Master Sima."
"I don't know him." Chen Zong closed the door directly.
Young Master Sima?
However, Chen Zong thought of the Sima Family, one of the most powerful forces in the Mysterious Underworld Territory.
Maybe that Young Master Sima was a disciple of the Sima Family.
But so what?
For no reason at all, the other party had called him over, but he didn't say what it was about. Naturally, Chen Zong wouldn't be bothered by it.
Seeing Chen Zong close the door, the cold black-clothed man's expression suddenly changed. His eyes emitted a shocking cold light, faintly carrying a hint of killing intent. The sword in his bosom trembled slightly, and an extremely terrifying cold killing intent shot out. It was as if the sword was about to be unsheathed and break through the defense of the Xuanming Academy.
However, the cold man in black did not make a move in the end because he knew that even if he made a move, he would not be able to do anything to the defensive power of the Xuanming Academy.
"Chen Zong, it's your luck that Young Master Sima summoned you. Don't make a mistake." The cold man in black suppressed his anger and murderous intent and shouted in a deep voice. His voice spread through the protective force like ripples and fell into Chen Zong's ears.
"Young Master Sima." Chen Zong did not reply. Instead, he muttered to himself.
There were a few people from the Sima Family on the Underworld Ranking. There seemed to be about five or six of them. Some were ranked higher than him, while others were ranked lower.
The highest ranking among them seemed to have reached the top ten.
That Young Master Sima might be one of them. As for whether he was the one with the highest ranking, Chen Zong was not sure.
It was obvious that Young Master Sima was not a name, but a form of address.
Chen Zong did not think too much about it. He filtered out the clamor outside and continued to cultivate.
After the cold man in black threatened a few times, he could only leave hatefully.
…
"Failed?" In the ninth Xuanming Academy, a young man in a white robe sat at the head of the table and smiled lightly.
"This subordinate did not do his job well. Please punish me, Young Master." The cold man in black was no longer cold. Instead, he lowered his head and bowed in fear.
Another man in black stood behind the young man in white. His attire was similar to the cold man in black. The only difference was that the hair covering their faces was different. One covered the left side of his face, while the other covered the right side. The half of his face that was exposed was 70% to 80% similar. A look of worry flashed across his face.
If he did not do his job well, the consequences would not be small.
"It seems that this newcomer on the Underworld Ranking has quite a personality." The young man in white, Young Master Sima, ignored the cold man in black's fear. Instead, he chuckled softly and said, "I did not expect that such an interesting newcomer would appear after I was gone for a while."
"Big Brother, this person probably thinks that he is a great genius just because he is on the Underworld Ranking. In fact, he is just a person with shallow knowledge." Sitting at the side, a girl in white also laughed. She was also one of the geniuses on the Underworld Ranking.
"Rourou is right. That Chen Zong is a country bumpkin from some remote village, and he doesn't know of Big Brother's reputation at all. Otherwise, there would be no need for Big Brother to personally send someone to summon him, and he would have eagerly run over and kowtowed before Big Brother." The other young man smiled as well, and he had a wisp of a proud expression on his face.
This person was also a direct descendant of the Sima family. He was also a genius on the Underworld Ranking. His ranking was above Chen Zong's.
"Haha." Young Master Sima seemed to enjoy the feeling of being praised. However, he did not lose his rationality and become arrogant because of this. "I originally thought that he was a talent and worth nurturing. However, since he is so ambitious, there is no need to pay attention to him."
"Zhao Er, I will not punish you this time." Young Master Sima said indifferently to the cold man in black who bowed his head in fear.
"Thank you, Young Master." Zhao Er bowed repeatedly in gratitude.
After a period of time, Sima Rou and Sima Li walked out of Xuanming Courtyard No. 9.
"Big Brother did not bicker with that country bumpkin because Big Brother is magnanimous. However, he actually dared to go against Big Brother's wishes. That is equivalent to slapping our faces." Sima Li's expression was cold as a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
"That's right. Big Brother did not make a move because he disdained to do so." Sima Rou's expression also turned cold as a sharp light shot out from her eyes.
"Let's go and meet this country bumpkin who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Sima Li laughed coldly.
Sima Li and Sima Rou turned around and immediately walked towards Xuanming Courtyard No. 93.
Chen Zong, who was in the middle of cultivating, was interrupted once again.
He removed the protective energy and opened the door to take a look. He saw a young man and a young woman with extraordinary appearances standing outside. Their gazes were as sharp as swords as they pierced through the air. They stared at Chen Zong's face as if they wanted to pierce through Chen Zong.
"You are Primordial Sword Chen Zong, who is known as the Primordial Sword of Primordial Chaos Unbreakable Sword?" The man asked. His gaze was somewhat scrutinizing and his words were also somewhat interrogative.
"What's the matter?" Chen Zong frowned slightly. He was disturbed by his cultivation, especially with the other party's attitude. Naturally, he would not welcome them with a smile.
"My Big Brother summoned you and you actually refused. How arrogant." Sima Li laughed coldly. An incomparably sharp light shot out from his eyes as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong and tear him apart. A terrifying spiritual pressure rushed over, bringing with it the intent to make Chen Zong submit.
However, Chen Zong did not move at all, as if he did not feel anything at all.
"Sima Family?" Chen Zong asked in return.
"You know that we are from the Sima Family and still dare to act like this. I really don't know where this country bumpkin came from," Sima Rou said. Sima Rou spoke. Although her voice was pleasant to the ears, her words were sharp and unpleasant to the ears. They carried a sense of superiority.
"Get out here." Sima Li suddenly shouted, like thunder exploding in the void.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, scram." Chen Zong's voice was as cold as a sword.
"Okay, okay, okay …" Sima Li and Sima Rou were both angered by Chen Zong, especially Sima Rou. She was beautiful and had a good family background. Her strength was also extraordinary. She was a Heaven's Favorite on the Netherworld Roll and had many admirers. This was the first time she had been reprimanded like this.
Boom!
Sima Rou attacked angrily. With a wave of her hand, it was like a dazzling butterfly flitting through flowers. A cold light spread out from her fingertips, like a blade tearing through the air and attacking.
This move was full of changes and mysterious. It was extremely powerful and merciless. It directly displayed the shocking strength and strong foundation of the Heaven's Favorite on the Netherworld Roll and the Sima Family.
Sima Li's attack was sudden and merciless. A cold light flashed in Chen Zong's eyes.
The Gilded Mountainous Sword was instantly unsheathed, bringing with it an extremely terrifying sword. It was as if the power of a mountain had been compressed, and it cut through the air like thunder.
Chen Zong did not hold back in this sword either.
As soon as Chen Zong attacked, Sima Rou's expression changed slightly. The power of that sword was beyond her imagination.
"How dare you!" Sima Li roared. He took a step forward and stabbed with his fingers like a sword. The golden light on his fingertips pierced through the void and pierced towards Chen Zong like a dagger. It was going to penetrate Chen Zong's body.
Although Sima Rou was surprised, she did not hesitate in her attack. Her movements were extremely fast. The moment her hand collided with the sword light, countless forces were released. The force was constantly changing between light and soft, and it constantly weakened the power of Chen Zong's sword. She continued to cut and hit like a butterfly circling around the sword. She pressed on towards Chen Zong. Her fingertips were filled with an extremely sharp and cold light that tore through everything.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong was facing the attacks of two prodigies on the Netherworld Ranking. Moreover, both of them were ranked higher than him, and even higher than Zheng Tuo.
In a one-on-one battle, Chen Zong had to give it his all. Moreover, there were two of them attacking him.
Instantly, Chen Zong was in a predicament.
Heart Domain!
After continuous comprehension and cultivation, Chen Zong's Heart Domain had reached a range of six meters.
Currently, the improvement of his Heart Domain was only an improvement in the range. The other improvements were very subtle. Chen Zong did not know when there would be a qualitative change.
His Heart Domain was still too profound for him at the moment.
Under the Heart Domain, both of their attacks were clearly captured by Chen Zong. They were very mysterious and much more powerful than Li Xilang. Even Wu Feng could not compare to them.
This was talent, and also the foundation of an aristocratic family.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's overall strength had improved significantly during this period of time. Otherwise, he would have been defeated. Even so, he could only barely withstand one attack from both of them.
Immediately after, Chen Zong retreated and opened up his defensive power.
With a buzzing sound, an irresistible force appeared out of thin air and repelled Sima Rou and Sima Li's figures.
After taking a deep look at the two of them, Chen Zong closed the door and did not pay any more attention to them.
Right now, his main body's strength was still not enough to fight against the two of them. If he continued to fight, it would be disadvantageous for him.
Secondly, this was the Xuanming District. Intense conflicts were not allowed.
