Luo Ping finally understood Uncle Gong's true level of cultivation. He was both curious and surprised about the relationship between the Rickety Inn and the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce.
The president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce was a fire dragon of the dragon clan. He'd long reached level nine peerless immortal and was in the process of breaking through to the realm of immortals.
Logically speaking, Uncle Gong's level of cultivation was somewhat inferior to the president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the Rickety Tribe was in decline. It was impossible for the two to be on good terms.
However, judging from Uncle Gong's tone and the way he'd dealt with the three peerless immortals, it was clear that he wasn't afraid at all. This made Luo Ping very suspicious.
"It seems that Uncle Gong and the president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce have more than just a simple friendship. However, it doesn't matter what their relationship is, as long as the Rickety Inn is truly safe."
Luo Ping could tell that Uncle Gong was hiding something, but that wasn't important. What was important was that the Rickety Inn could guarantee their safety.
"Uncle Gong, this junior has one last question. Given our level of cultivation, even if it was for the sake of the inn's rules, Uncle Gong wouldn't have offended so many cultivators."
"If this junior dares to make a bold guess, Uncle Gong, did you save us because you wanted us to do something for you?"
Luo Ping asked seriously.
Although the Rickety Inn had its rules, the three of them were still relatively weak. Uncle Gong had not only helped them capture the three peerless immortals, he'd also helped them fend off many cultivators outside. This wasn't just for the sake of the rules.
There was no such thing as a gratuitous favor in this world. Therefore, Luo Ping guessed that Uncle Gong must have wanted them to do something for him.
"Heh, you're smart enough to guess my intentions. That's right, I saved you not only to protect the inn's rules from being broken, but also for other reasons. Just as you guessed, I need you to do something for me."
Uncle Gong smiled.
"Why us?"
Luo Ping asked directly.
With the other party's cultivation, even if it was inconvenient for them to do something, they could find some cultivators with higher cultivation. There was no need for them to find three cultivators with lower cultivation.
"The reason why I chose you guys is firstly because you are foreign cultivators and won't arouse any suspicion. Secondly, with your cultivation, it's easy to make a move. You guys are the best choice as bait."
Uncle Gong said bluntly.
"Bait?"
"It seems that what Uncle Gong wants us to do is very dangerous. I wonder which big fish he wants us to catch? Uncle Gong, please explain the situation to us, lest we fail to understand the situation and delay Uncle Gong's plan. "
Luo Ping's expression changed slightly as he said helplessly.
Although he had guessed that what the other party wanted them to do would not be simple, he did not expect that being the bait would be so dangerous.
With the other party's cultivation and strength, even if the three of them wanted to refuse, they had no chance at all. They might even enrage the other party. Right now, he could only listen to the specific situation first, and then make a decision after that.
"Of course. Since I need you guys to do something, I will definitely explain the situation to you. However, I have to say the ugly words first. If you are not willing to help me complete this task, your life and death will not be up to you."
Uncle Gong's tone became cold and threatening. It seemed that if Luo Ping and the other two refused, he would directly kill Luo Ping and the other two.
When Luo Ping and the other two heard this, they felt helpless and bitter. Once again, they deeply experienced the coldness and ruthlessness of the world of cultivation. The strong preyed on the weak.
"The big fish you want to catch this time is the experts of the Murong Clan in Longmen City …"
Seeing that Luo Ping and the other two had fallen silent, Uncle Gong immediately explained his mission. As he explained, Luo Ping and the other two's expressions became increasingly ugly.
Outside the Rickety Inn, dozens of people stood in the air. Their gazes were fixed on the inn's position. Each of them released their soulforce and enveloped the space around the inn.
Previously, they had all sensed the situation of the battle below ground. Apart from the Immortal Cultivators in Longmen City who understood the situation at the Rickety Inn, the Immortal Cultivators outside were all shocked by Uncle Gong's strength and methods.
They did not expect that in such a remote inn, there would be such an expert with such a cultivation base. After waiting outside the inn for a while, they learned about the mysteries of the Rickety Inn from the cultivators in Longmen City. The cultivators outside were once again shocked.
Even the two Level Nine Peerless Immortals who originally wanted to force their way into the Rickety Inn suppressed their impulses after hearing that the inn was connected to the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. They could only wait outside for Luo Ping and the other two to leave the inn.
However, Luo Ping and the other two did not even take half a step out of the Rickety Inn. As time passed, the auction of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce drew closer and closer. Some of the cultivators who did not have an entry card became anxious.
The cultivators in Longmen City had long left the Rickety Inn because they knew that they had no chance in the vicinity of the Rickety Inn. Those who remained were all cultivators from outside.
However, these cultivators waited for a full month, but Luo Ping and the other two did not appear. Some of them became impatient and left to find other targets.
Only a dozen or so people remained outside the Rickety Inn. After all, Luo Ping and the other two had entry cards. Moreover, their cultivation was lower. They were 'prey' that was hard to come by, so their chances of success were higher.
Just like that, these cultivators persisted for nearly a month. Seeing that the auction of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce was about to begin, they could not stand still and were extremely anxious. They began to discuss how to break into the inn together. However, just as they were about to make a move, a voice came from within the inn, causing them to stop.
"If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being merciless."
Along with this voice, an extremely terrifying force surged out of the inn at the same time, sweeping through everyone in the void with lightning speed. Before these Immortal Cultivators could react, all of them were directly sent flying.
More than a dozen cultivators were sent flying without any resistance. Among them were two Eighth Level Peerless Immortals. They were sent flying for dozens of miles before they finally stabilized themselves.
These Immortal Cultivators all looked at the Rickety Inn with lingering fear. After hesitating for a moment, they all flew up and quickly left the vicinity of the inn.
The force that was released from within the inn was extremely terrifying. It made them feel the threat of death. Even the two Eighth Level Peerless Immortals were no exception. Under such circumstances, they naturally did not dare to linger.
Although they were unwilling, for the sake of their own safety, these cultivators quickly left the vicinity of the inn. They spied from afar, unwilling to let go of this last chance.
Inside the Rickety Inn.
Luo Ping, Kong Haotian, and Feng Yiming looked at Uncle Gong in astonishment. The force that was released from Uncle Gong's back just now was extremely terrifying. It was not the slightest bit weaker than the full power of a Ninth Level Peerless Immortal.
It was only now that the three of them truly realized that although Uncle Gong was only an Eighth Level Peerless Immortal, his strength was definitely not weaker than the average Ninth Level Peerless Immortal.
Luo Ping and the others were very curious about Uncle Gong's hunchback. Not only could it release such a powerful force, but it had also sucked in three Peerless Immortals. At first glance, it was obvious that it had formed a space of its own. It was equivalent to a profound artifact.
"Alright, there are still three days before the auction begins. To ensure your safety, I will personally escort you into the auction venue.
Once you enter the venue, no one will dare touch you. You can wait in peace for three days until the auction begins. "
Uncle Gong said.
The Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce's auction could be entered three days in advance. That was why Uncle Gong said so.
"Thank you, Uncle Gong!"
Luo Ping and the others said.
And so, under Uncle Gong's lead, Luo Ping and the others left the Rickety Inn and flew towards the headquarters of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce.
The Rickety Inn was located in a remote area, some distance from the headquarters of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. Uncle Gong led Luo Ping and the others out of the inn. As soon as they flew out, they attracted the attention of many cultivators, who quickly followed them in secret.
However, no one dared to make a move. They all followed from a distance. Uncle Gong clearly knew everything that was going on behind him, but he wasn't worried in the slightest.
Uncle Gong didn't say a word. He led Luo Ping and the others in flying. After flying for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that they had lost their chance, the cultivators all left helplessly and unwillingly. They were afraid that Uncle Gong would attack them again.
"Eh? Isn't this Brother Gong? Could it be that Brother Gong also wants to participate in this auction? I believe that once Brother Gong makes a move, he will definitely be able to intimidate all the bidders. "
While they were still some distance away from the headquarters of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce, a few figures flew directly in front of Uncle Gong. The person in the lead said with a fake smile.
"So it's Brother Murong. With Brother Murong's wealth, how can a mere waiter like me compare to you?"
"I don't have the qualifications to participate in this auction. I'm only escorting my three guests to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce."
"I hope that Brother Murong can take care of us when the time comes. Don't bid for all the treasures. Otherwise, these three little fellows will be very regretful."
Uncle Gong looked at the man in front of him and smiled fakely.
When Luo Ping and the others heard the conversation between Uncle Gong and the man, they all looked at the man in front of them seriously and began to carefully size him up.
"This is the head of the Murong Clan, 'Murong Xun'. At the same time, he's also one of the vice presidents of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce."
At this moment, Uncle Gong simultaneously transmitted his voice to Luo Ping and the others and introduced them.
When Luo Ping and the others received the transmission, their guesses were verified. They looked at the people in front of them with more caution.
The people in front of them were the big fish they needed to catch this time. They were the powerhouses of the Murong Clan in Dragon Gate City.
