Afraid that Lu Yin would not believe him, Qian Zou hurriedly explained how he had been chased, hidden in an auction house, and obtained the Reverse Step.
Lu Yin did not doubt him. If the Reverse Step was the same as Progenitor Chen's, then its value would be comparable to a secret technique. Of course, it would be very difficult to teach it to others. Things can only move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme.
Not being able to learn it did not mean that he had to give up. One of Progenitor Chen's nine clones had not learned anything else but the Reverse Step, which had broken through Lu Yin's Knowing Deny. That feeling had been like reversing spacetime, and it had shocked Lu Yin. How could he give up on such a technique?
"Take me to that auction house," Lu Yin said.
Qian Zou was puzzled. "Seventh Bro, this Reverse Step seems strange and fast, but there's nothing special about it. Is it worth going to the Neoverse?"
Of course, Lu Yin could not tell him the truth. "I have other matters to attend to in the Neoverse, so it's just on the way." He then looked at the sapling. He could not bring it along, but perhaps it was not a bad idea to leave it with the tree. At least the tree could protect it.
Not long after, Lu Yin and Qian Zou were led by the Second Nightking towards the Cosmic Sea. As for the sapling, Lu Yin threw it into the tree's crown.
With the Second Nightking's strength that was second only to a Half-Ancestor, he was able to travel across the universe so quickly that Qian Zou began to doubt himself.
Back when Lu Yin had been brought across the Cosmic Sea by Shangsheng Shen Wei, he had also begun to doubt himself.
This was an absolute powerhouse, and the distance of the universe was meaningless to them.
Mister Mu had directly thrown Lu Yin from Tempest Flowzone to Zhengyang Flowzone, which meant that he had crossed half of the Innerverse.
Qian Zou's view of the universe had been refreshed.
…
There was a heavenly city in the Neoverse called Sky Bearing City. There were over a thousand auction houses in the city, and it was famous throughout the Neoverse.
Sky Bearing City was the city with the most auction houses in the Fifth Mainland, and countless people brought auction items to Sky Bearing City every day. Whether it was in the open or in the dark, everything could be sold here, and the prices were the highest among those in the same industry. On the contrary, the commission was very low because of the fierce competition.
Lu Yin and Qian Zou were currently walking through Sky Bearing City, looking at the city's unique atmosphere.
Sky Bearing City was larger than any of the other heavenly cities that Lu Yin had seen before. The buildings were densely packed together, and there was a large population. When he first arrived, he discovered that there were no less than twenty Enlighters scattered throughout the tallest buildings. There was even an Envoy at the center of the city.
Emissaries were rare even in the new universe. While the rune lines of this emissary were not strong, an emissary was an emissary. With an emissary in charge, Sky Bearing City was definitely one of the top cities in the new universe.
There were countless people hawking their wares on the streets, and a small auction quickly took place. This was very normal in Sky Bearing City. This place had a unique auction atmosphere.
"The largest auction house in Sky Bearing City is called the Long Wang Auction House, and the owner is the master of Sky Bearing City, King Qing. It is said that King Qing is extremely powerful, and even the masters of the three thousand major worlds of the Glory Realm have to respect him. Those colossal beings have to take the initiative to visit Sky Bearing City," Qian Zou introduced. He was familiar with this place.
"Seventh brother, look. That's the Long Wang Auction House. It's the tallest building in Sky Bearing City."
"Seventh brother, that's Sky Bearing City's food street. There are countless unimaginable ingredients there, and many of them are purchased from the border guards from the Astral Beast Domain."
"Seventh brother, look! It's a brothel!" Qian Zou was excited.
Lu Yin.
Yin was astonished and looked over. A brothel?
In the distance, an antique building descended from the heavens. It was a brothel. Brothels in the Neoverse were one of the unique features of the Neoverse. They could fly, and they attracted countless people's attention.
Lu Yin had not expected that a brothel would coincidentally come to Sky Bearing City.
There were a total of six brothels in the Neoverse, and this one should be a brothel in the North since Sky Bearing City was in the North.
When the brothel landed, it immediately attracted countless onlookers. The appearance of the brothel caused a huge commotion, and even Sky Bearing City's guards appeared to maintain order.
"We're really lucky. Seventh brother, why don't we take a look around the brothel?"
Qian Zou was looking forward to it. If he was alone, he would at most enter the brothel to gain some experience, but he would not dare to do anything. It was not something that someone like him could afford, but now that he had such a powerful person by his side, what did it matter if it was a brothel? Even if this was Sky Bearing City, once this person's identity was exposed, the city lord would come out to greet him.
When he thought about this, Qian Zou became even more excited and couldn't wait to drag Lu Yin inside.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. The brothel was his business, and whatever money Ming Yan earned there was for him. "No."
Qian Zou was disappointed. "Seventh brother, the brothel is not a filthy place. It's very clean and can cleanse one's soul and cultivate one's character.
"Are you saying that I can meet many Envoys there?" Lu Yin asked.
Qian Zou was speechless.
"Hurry up and find the auction house. I don't have time to waste," Lu Yin urged.
Qian Zou was helpless. "That auction house went bankrupt, and I don't know which auction house bought it. I'll have to ask around."
"Hurry up." Lu Yin was annoyed.
Because of the brothel's appearance, Sky Bearing City attracted many people once again. Brothels would attract many people anywhere, let alone Sky Bearing City.
There were two buildings in the center of the city that took up a lot of space. One was the city lord's residence, and the other was the Bowang Auction House. Both were owned by the same person.
Within the city lord's residence, someone was ecstatic. "The Northern Territory's brothel is here?
That's great! Help me change my clothes. It's been a long time since I've seen the Fallen Plum Courtesan. She must serve me today, hahaha! "
The speaker was a pale-faced young man with an excited expression. There were five girls serving him, and all of them were nervous as if they were afraid of angering him. His name was Qing Yu, and he was the son of Sky Bearing City's city lord, Prince Qing.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of wind blew past. A woman with a baleful expression stood at the door. Although she was beautiful, her eyes were slanted downwards, making her look sinister and vicious.
Qing Yu's expression changed when he saw her, "Hong- Hong 'er, why are you back?"
The five girls serving Qing Yu were horrified and hurriedly knelt down. Their eyes reddened, and they didn't dare to look up.
The woman narrowed her eyes and stared at Qing Yu. She then raised her hand, causing five red flowers to appear in her palm. With a wave of her hand, the five girls' necks were sliced open, and the stench of blood filled the air.
Qing Yu's legs went soft, and he almost fell to the ground.
"I've only been gone for a few days, and you're already messing around. Did you forget what I told you?" the woman asked sternly.
Qing Yu gulped and carefully approached the woman. He smiled fawningly and hugged the woman's shoulders, "Hong 'er, I didn't do anything. I just asked them to dress me. You can't be jealous of that, right? Besides, you've already killed them."
The woman stared at Qing Yu and said coldly, "I heard that you're going to the brothel to meet that Luo Mei.
Mei's slut. "
"No, Hong 'er, definitely not!" Qing Yu was shocked, and his face paled.
At that moment, the void distorted and a middle-aged man walked out. It was Prince Qing, the city lord of Sky Bearing City, and the Emissary powerhouse that Lu Yin had sensed earlier.
The woman and Qing Yu hurriedly bowed when they saw Prince Qing. "Father."
Prince Qing grunted and glanced around the room. He frowned slightly and looked at Qing Yu. "Are you messing around again?
I told you that you're not allowed to get close to any other woman aside from Hong 'er. Did you listen to me? "
The woman snorted and glared at Qing Yu.
Qing Yu bowed again. "Father, I didn't. I only asked them to dress me. I didn't do anything."
Prince Qing looked at the woman and smiled gently. "Don't worry, Hong 'er. I'll keep an eye on him for you. He won't do anything."
The woman nodded. "Thank you, Father. I forgot to take something, so I came back for a bit. I'll leave now, so please keep an eye on him for me."
Prince Qing nodded.
She quickly left.
After she left, Qing Yu heaved a sigh of relief. His expression turned gloomy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked at Prince Qing. "One day, I'll kill that slut."
"Shut up," Prince Qing barked and glared at Qing Yu. "As long as the Home of the Gods exists, she'll always be your wife. If you dare touch her, I'll kill you."
Qing Yu was furious. "That woman is crazy. Which capable man doesn't have a few women?
She's so jealous that she won't even let me touch her maids. Father, I've had enough of this. "
Prince Qing glared at Qing Yu and said coldly, "You were the one who agreed to this marriage. You were the one who pursued her back then, so treat her well. If you don't want Sky Bearing City to be destroyed by the Home of the Gods, remember that she's one of the Eighteen Celestial Gods of the Home of the Gods. She has a very high status. Remember that."
"I understand, Father." Qing Yu was helpless. Sky Bearing City was just a slightly larger ant compared to the Home of the Gods.
He'd pursued Yao Hong back then because he wanted to gain the protection of the Home of the Gods. Who knew that woman would be so unreasonable?
If he wanted to play, he'd have to wait until she left. Sometimes, he felt like that woman would kill him.
Since that crazy woman was gone, he could go out and play. He had to take Luo Mei in the next few days and have a taste of the north's top courtesan.
…
Within Sky Bearing City, Qianzou spent half a day before finally finding the owner.
"The Yaduo Auction House is the auction house where I obtained the Reverse Step. It was purchased by the Silver Fragrance Auction House more than ten years ago, and the address is still the same. The Yaduo Auction House's manager also joined the Silver Fragrance Auction House when it was purchased. He's been taken away by the Silver Fragrance Auction House's boss for some unknown reason, but he'll be back in a few days at the very least."
"That means that we'll be able to meet the Yaduo Auction House's manager in a few days?" Lu Yin asked.
Qianzou nodded. "In theory, yes. But Seventh Bro, you should know that the auction houses deal with at least a few hundred items every day. It's normal for some large auction houses to handle over ten thousand items. They didn't pursue me when I lost the Reverse Step, which means that they don't care. It's unlikely that we'll be able to find out the origin of the technique from them."
Of course, Lu Yin knew that, but for the sake of this battle technique, no amount of investigation would be excessive. He couldn't let anyone else do it either. If they found the Reverse Step and someone else learned it, he would suffer a huge loss.
