The auction lasted for three days before it ended. What surprised Qin Yu was that the final item of the auction was a damaged Immortal Weapon!
Although it was damaged, it was much more expensive than a Sub-Grade Immortal Weapon. It was said that it was sold for a sky-high price of 3.8 million low-grade Dao Stones …
What was surprising was that no one knew who had won the bid for this damaged Immortal Armament. It was said that it was a cultivator in the venue, which made everyone sigh with emotion. There was actually someone who could take out such a terrifying number of Dao Stones.
When Qin Yu heard this, he also sighed. On one hand, he was shocked by the Lu family's wealth. On the other hand, he was shocked by the bidder's background. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was rich enough to rival a sect.
As time passed, the battle for the slot was getting closer and closer. However, there was still no movement from Qin Xue's room. Qin Yu did not dare to disturb her. After setting up a few more arrays around the room and instructing the Blood Ape to protect her, Qin Yu left silently.
Using the Heaven Concealing Technique, Qin Yu changed his appearance and came to the temporary residence of the Hundred Refining Ancient Sect. These days, he had done many earth-shattering things. In order to avoid implicating the Hundred Refining Ancient Sect, he did not contact Hong Xuan and the others …
Just as Qin Yu entered the courtyard, he felt the scene in front of him change. He was shocked to find that he was in a pavilion.
In front of him, a stooped old man in plain black clothes was lying on a rattan chair. Beside him was an antique tea table. White steam was rising from the teapot on the table, and a strong tea fragrance was refreshing.
Qin Yu's body tensed up as he stared at the stooped old man with a serious expression. He was ready to unleash his strongest attack at any time. He whispered, "May I know who senior is …"
"What?
You still want to attack this old man? "
The stooped old man slowly sat up. His turbid eyes glanced at Qin Yu's clenched right hand that was ready to point at any time as he snorted coldly.
Hearing the old man's tone, Qin Yu was stunned. He relaxed his vigilance and looked at the old man suspiciously. After a long time, he said, "Senior, is my Hundred Refining Ancient Sect …"
Before Qin Yu could finish his sentence, the old man snorted coldly, "My Hundred Smelting Ancient Sect?
How can the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect accept a godly being like you? Manjoo Zhanmu's dying man, the genius of the Yazi Thirteen Tribes, the Great Devil Tian Gang, the Crying Old Man's disciple. Brat, which one is your true identity?
Why have you come to my Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect? "
After confirming that the old man was an expert from the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect, Qin Yu felt much more relaxed. Moreover, the old man's words were filled with anger. However, it wasn't anger. Instead, it was as if he was dissatisfied that he had been deceived.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yu cupped his fists and said, "Senior, I'm Manjoo Zhanmu's disciple. I've also suppressed the geniuses of the Yazi Thirteen Tribes, the Great Devil Heavens' Tian Gang, and the Crying Old Man's disciple … However, I'm also a fourth generation disciple of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect!"
Seeing the old man's frown, Qin Yu hurriedly said, "That's my past. When I came out from the Great Devil Heavens' Tian Gang Pagoda, I was heavily injured. It was an outer court disciple of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect who saved me … I passed the test and became a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect.
The old man was one of the Ancestors of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect, Xing Ze. After hearing Qin Yu's words, Xing Ze was at a loss for words. In fact, he had already guessed what had happened. The reason he came to question Huang Xiaolong was because he blamed Qin Yu for hiding the truth from him. Of course, he knew that he couldn't blame Qin Yu because Qin Yu didn't even know of his existence.
Looking at Qin Yu's arrogant appearance, Xing Ze was furious. "My Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect can't tolerate such an arrogant disciple like you. Do you know who you've offended?
Do you think that you can do whatever you want in the Trapped Dragon Star just because you're the Crying Old Man's disciple? "
"If it wasn't for the upcoming battle, this old man would have taught you a lesson on behalf of Fu Qing!" Xing Ze fumed and glared at Huang Xiaolong.
Fu Qing?
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows. He could vaguely guess what was going on. When he was in the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect, he did feel that someone was watching him in the dark. It seemed like … it was the Fu Qing this old man was talking about.
However, according to what he said, Fu Qing had taken a fancy to him?
Did he want to take him in as his disciple?
Seeing that Qin Yu didn't say anything, Xing Ze thought that Qin Yu had taken his words seriously. He continued, "Luckily, you're young and hot-blooded. Luckily, there are unwritten rules. Otherwise, even if the Crying Old Man himself came, he wouldn't be able to survive. If the Trapped Dragon Star was as simple as it seems, it would have been devoured by the Desolate Star a long time ago!
"Not to mention the terrifying existence of the Celestial King Jiang Family, even my Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect has people who can fight with the Crying Old Man!
The geniuses you've seen are all the top geniuses of this generation or the past few generations. However, have you thought about how many geniuses have been born in the past few hundred years, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years?
Could it be that you think they're all dead?
"Many of the forces in the Trapped Dragon Star today were passed down from other sects in the Immemorial Era. Which one of those sects with deep foundations doesn't have a small world?
Even my Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect has two. Although the Crying Old Man is strong, he's definitely not in the Celestial Realm. He's only at the peak of the Half-Step Celestial Realm. If it weren't for the Destruction Dao Patterns there and the Battle of the Stars, someone would have already dug three feet into the ground of the All-heaven Ruins.
"Therefore, kid, you're still alive because you're lucky. If it weren't for the Battle of the Stars, your soul would have already dispersed. My Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect wouldn't have been able to protect you. Instead, we would have been implicated by you. At that time, the hundred top geniuses would have all been annihilated!" Xing Ze scolded sternly as he reached the end of his sentence.
Qin Yu's face turned solemn. Xing Ze's words were undoubtedly a blow to his head. He originally thought that the Crying Old Man's reputation would be enough to suppress them. However, he didn't expect that the Battle of the Stars would also be related to it. Although he didn't know what the Battle of the Stars was, he could guess some clues from the words.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice, "According to senior's words, these sects will make a move on me sooner or later?"
Xing Ze retracted his anger and nodded, "The Immortal King Jiang Family and the Desolate Mountain will definitely not let this matter rest."
"Then I'll kill all of their young generation in the Immortal Martial Secret Realm!"
Qin Yu's eyes flashed with killing intent as he said in a low voice. After a moment of silence, he said again, "Senior, I'm preparing to go to another star in the Immortal Martial Secret Realm. This way, they will think that I've died in the battle and won't implicate the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect!"
Although the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect's Old Ancestor scolded him, Qin Yu could hear the worry and concern in his voice. Thus, he didn't hide anything.
"Go to another star?
Die in the battle? "
Xing Ze was stunned as he stared at Qin Yu with his murky eyes. He felt bitter in his heart as he thought that Qin Yu wanted to go to another star because he didn't want to implicate the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect. This made him feel even more guilty and upset.
"It's not that the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect is afraid of being implicated, it's just that … the time isn't right!"
It was a long time before Xing Ze said these meaningful words. He looked at Qin Yu and said, "Moreover, going to other stars is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Unless …"
