Devour

Chapter 207 The Evil Devil Invades

Cheng Bai asked curiously: "What good ideas do you have?"

An Yiren used his internal energy to transmit his voice, "This batch of bidding boxes from Xianhua Pavilion was ordered by the Changsheng Association, and the restrictions are very strict. But ordinary people don't know that as the leader of the Changsheng Association, how could he not leave a way out for himself? He has always been foolproof when he comes to bid, and the secret is here."

Cheng Bai was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

An Yiren said, "I used to work in the Changsheng Society, but later I quit. All the standard boxes passed through my hands at that time, so I know the tricks very well."

Cheng Bai thought, "He told me the secret suddenly, it's definitely not out of kindness, there must be a purpose." So he asked, "What do you want?"

"I see that Brother Bai is a down-to-earth and pragmatic person, and he is indeed straightforward."

An Yiren gave him a compliment and then said frankly, "Two hundred thousand taels of gold is known to heaven and earth, you and I. From now on, Brother Bai will have an absolute advantage if he bids at the Elite Gathering every year, and all his wishes will come true."

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "Others come to spend money, but he comes to collect money. He is really good at it." He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not a joke. Let me think about it."

An Yiren said seriously: "The faster you go, the greater the chance you have. Brother Bai, you must seize it well." He turned and left.

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "Will this guy only sell it to me? If I sell it to one person for 200,000, then if a hundred people come, I'll have 20 million. He will be the biggest winner."

He was terrified as he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became: "When everyone takes advantage of the same loophole, won't everyone become a joke? But we have to take advantage of it, otherwise we will definitely fall behind others. But it seems that An Yiren knows how to choose his customers, and he won't hire just anyone." He felt troubled when he thought about it further, so he simply put it out of his mind.

The sky is gloomy today, with dark clouds filling the low sky. The gloom is depressing people's hearts, as if a storm is about to come, and the daytime feels like dusk.

Xianhua Pavilion gradually became lively. The guests who came to see the goods yesterday came and went. Some repeatedly studied the value of the treasures, some began to bid, and some watched from afar and waited for the opportunity, each busy with their own things.

Cheng Bai thought it over carefully. There were so many treasures that he was interested in that if he invested money in them all, it would be a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Judging from the current demand, only Zhenwu Rock, Huihun Grass, and Yangling Fruit are necessary items. There is still some time at the end of You Hour, so it is better to find a place to practice in peace and come back in the evening.

The ground was shaking slightly and there was a rumbling sound in the air, but when I paid close attention, it seemed to be gone.

Cheng Bai was secretly surprised: "Is it an earthquake? Or is someone trying to survive a thunderstorm?" Thinking about it carefully, it was unbelievable. He looked up at the masters of various sects. Many people noticed it and they all looked confused.

After a while, the shaking and rumbling sounds were heard again, becoming more and more obvious.

Cheng Bai was puzzled. The Phoenix Force's perception range quickly covered nearly 500 miles around him. He vaguely discovered that a huge monster was approaching from the south.

Although the area south of Qian'an City is a plain, it is not completely flat.

The huge object flattened the forests and low hills wherever it passed, and all the grass, trees and rocks it touched were turned into powder. The violent impact caused the ground to shake, creating a loud roar.

Cheng Bai's perception of the Phoenix Force was not clear at the edge, and he confirmed it again and again, and was shocked in his heart: "Death Boat!"

The huge secret ship of death was sailing on the land, as fast as a galloping horse. In about two hours, it would rush straight into Qian'an City, sweeping across it enough to destroy half of the city.

The highly skilled monks present all noticed something was wrong.

Lin Zhengyuan jumped into the open-air garden in the center of Xianhua Pavilion, climbed up to a height of more than a hundred meters with his feet suspended in the air, and looked into the distance.

The Jianqi Pavilion is not only famous for its swordsmanship, but also for its unique techniques. It has the technique of observing qi to detect evil spirits and predict good and bad luck.

The evil spirit of the Death Boat was seen rising into the sky, and the surging haze filled the sky, bringing dark clouds covering the sun for hundreds of miles around.

In the dim haze, one could vaguely see numerous flying corpses flying around, emitting devil-like screams, as if the gates of hell had opened and countless evils were about to gush out.

Lin Zhengyuan observed for a moment, quickly landed on the ground, and shouted in a deep voice: "An evil demon is driving the entire Death Boat towards the city."

Upon hearing this, all the heroes showed off their abilities, looked up from the sky, and returned with a lot of chatter, causing an uproar.

"Qian'an City is in danger. It will be reduced to ruins in a few hours."

"Fellow righteous and chivalrous men, we cannot sit idly by and watch."

"How should we deal with it? Is there anyone blocking us outside the city?"

"Before the disaster strikes, I'll see you later."

"How dare you call yourself a knight, you coward?"

Those visitors from all parties who thought they were not capable enough simply asked for their bidding deposit back and hurriedly left Qian'an City.

All the talk of benevolence, righteousness and morality is not as important as one's own life. In a blink of an eye, more than half of the people in Xianhua Pavilion ran away.

Chu Kangtian also went up to the roof to take a look. When he came back, his face was as ugly as it could be. He said in a serious tone, "Elder Li, it is rumored that the Death Boat has already fallen into the hands of the Tumin Society. Why did they come to attack Qian'an City? This place is also under the jurisdiction of the Tumin Society."

Li Fengrun said as a matter of course: "The members of the Slaughter Society who stayed in the Death Boat are only the two of us. Now we are here to attend the Heroes' Gathering, so there are naturally no members of the Slaughter Society in the secret realm."

Min Niuhao said confidently: "The Death Boat Secret Realm was formed by the Void Spirit Boat. There must be an enemy controlling the damaged spirit boat to plot evil. We should unite against the enemy."

Cheng Bai heard it clearly and was puzzled: "Li Fengrun didn't tell the truth. The number of people from the Tumin Society stationed on the Death Boat may not be too many, but it is definitely more than two."

Chu Kangtian said hurriedly: "Time is limited, we must eliminate the invading enemy as soon as possible to ensure peace in this area."

Li Fengrun blinked and asked, "How to eliminate it?"

Chu Kangtian looked around at the crowd and saw that most of those who stayed were masters. He was secretly delighted and said loudly: "In terms of strength, the Taoist friends gathered here are all heroes and heroes. It can be said that they are rare to see them. Are they afraid of external enemies?"

Mo Ruo suggested: "My fellow righteous people, since the secret realm has come to us on its own, isn't it just right for us to accept the challenge and collect treasures at the same time?"

"The Tumin Society can't take care of this matter, so don't blame us for interfering." Pan Guanxia glanced at Li Fengrun and invited a team to form: "Jingtao Sect is willing to contribute funds and manpower to explore the Death Boat. Everyone, who is willing to join and sweep the secret realm with me?"

Someone in the field chuckled and said, "Sister Xia is leading the team. It would be disrespectful to refuse her. Count me in." The voice was soft and charming, and it was Gou Shangniang.

She turned to look at Feng Yong and encouraged him, "Sister Feng, the three of us are as brave as men, how about we go together?"

Feng Yong hesitated for a moment, looked around, and seemed to pause when he saw Cheng Bai, then retracted his gaze and said, "Okay."

With someone taking the lead, many cultivators in Xianhua Pavilion simply gathered familiar masters from the same sect and organized teams to prepare to explore the secret realm.

Mo Ruo reacted the fastest. While Pan Guanxia was still yelling and secretly criticizing others, he had already whispered to the other party in private. Taking advantage of his social advantage as a weapon refiner and his reputation as the leader of the Changsheng Society, he directly formed a team with Lin Zhengyuan, Duanmu Jun and Bader, the three strongest masters present. He took full advantage and immediately jumped to the top in terms of team strength.

Li Fengrun came to Jiang Cheng at some point and started chatting with him in a friendly manner, showing that he wanted to join forces with him.

Jiang Cheng felt that he was insignificant among the monks in the hall. He was flattered by the situation and handled it carefully. He had a good impression of him, so he took Min Niuhao and Mo Ruyu with him, and the four of them formed a group of their own.

Chang Yufeng arrived a step late and found that various small teams had already formed around him. He slapped his thigh, pulled An Yiren, who was ignored by everyone, and came to Cheng Bai and said, "We had a great chat yesterday. It's fate that we met. Why don't we team up and explore the secret realm together?"

Cheng Bai had been to the Death Boat before, and knew it was no small matter. He had originally wanted to go alone so that he could escape easily, and had never considered forming a team. He turned around and saw Feng Yong and the other two had already set off on the Magic Martial Boat. His mind raced, and he agreed, "Thank you for your help."

As the shop owner, Chu Kangtian could not leave, so he sat in the Treasure Competition Pavilion with Zhu Lien, who had low martial arts skills, and said loudly: "Everyone who explores the secret realm, if you can get treasures, you can entrust Xianhua Pavilion to sell them on your behalf. Money can't buy what you like, and there will definitely be surprises."

Zhu Lien said, "I will tell my deputy to report to the king and evacuate the people as soon as possible. If we can't stop the Death Boat from moving forward, we can at least reduce the greatest loss. Please do your best."
