Shao Qingfeng and the rest watched quietly, but no one spoke. He had already guessed the woman's identity, and he frowned. Someone like her should not be here.
Luo Zang, Mu Mu, and even a reckless person like Jiang Xiaodao were looking at the woman with indescribable respect.
Seruzen looked at her and found her familiar.
Her gaze swept across the crowd and paused on Seruzen's withered arm. She then looked at Lu Yin before looking away and walking to a corner without saying a word.
He Shu immediately followed.
"I want some peace and quiet," she said coldly.
He Shu stopped and suppressed the heat in his eyes. "Yes." He remained where he was, not looking at the woman or anyone else. He was as arrogant as a statue.
With so many people gathered here, it would definitely attract attention. Some stayed behind while others did not dare to.
Four hours later, a rumbling sound came from the mountain walls.
Everyone looked over and saw a passage appear. Lu Yin had seen this before; it was the passage to the auction venue.
Those who had not been invited looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. They knew that they had encountered something good. These people had clearly been invited, and this auction was definitely not simple. It reminded them of the previous auction that had been disrupted.
Although they could not participate in such a large-scale auction, it would be good to experience it.
He Shu was the first to arrive at the passage. He bowed and gestured for the woman in white to enter.
No one else stepped forward, and they all looked at her.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. This woman was Bai Qian. Her cultivation was not high, and she was only an Enlighter, but her status was ridiculously high. Interesting.
Among the people who had left Earth, Bai Xue had lost her competitive spirit and had stayed in the Seed Garden to retire. Zhang Dingtian was focused on avenging the Liu family and honing his cultivation. Xu San was still by Ancestor Lingtong's side, and only Seruzen and Bai Qian had stepped forward. Seruzen had been favored by Mu Shiqiang because of his innate gift, but Bai Qian had somehow obtained such a high status and was even able to compete with He Ran.
In terms of cultivation, Bai Qian was second only to Lu Yin.
Zhang Dingtian might have been constantly cultivating, but he still could not catch up to Bai Qian. Bai Qian's current cultivation was very close to that of the former Ten Arbiters.
Of the Ten Arbiters, Liu Tianmu, Ling Gong, and Wen Sansi were all Enlighters and had yet to become Envoys. Bai Qian was also an Enlighter, and he was an absolute cultivation genius.
Bai Qian was the first to enter, and He Shu followed closely behind. The others also entered one by one.
They all seemed to know Bai Qian's identity.
Lu Yin and Luo Laoer entered as well. They followed the passage and arrived at a place that was similar to the previous secret auction. The mountain walls didn't have much meaning, and the sound alone was enough to tell who was bidding.
There were about fifteen to twenty people who were invited, and there were about ten people who came here by accident. In total, there were about thirty people, which was too little compared to the secret auction venue.
Once everyone was seated, the void distorted, and a woman walked out. She wore a light yellow dress and had a pretty face. She had a sweet smile on her face as she greeted everyone. "Welcome to the Secret Auction, senior brothers and sisters."
"Tu Shuangshuang?"
A cry of surprise came from Jiang Xiaodao.
Shao Qingfeng was surprised. She was actually the organizer of the secret auction?
Mu Mu, He Shu, and the others leaned forward in surprise.
"Who's this Tu Shuangshuang?"
Lu Yin had never seen this woman before, but of course, he had long since discovered that she was hiding in the mountain before the secret auction.
It was impossible for anyone else to discover her.
Luo Laoer replied, "The Reincarnation Space-Time has three Nine Sages, and Tu Shuangshuang is one of them. She's an elite disciple of the Sanctification Sect, and she's already a Third Stage Ascendant Immortal at such a young age. She's been cultivating in the Grand Dao Plaza for a long time, and it's said that she's currently in seclusion."
"You didn't know that she was the one who organized the secret auction?"
Lu Yin asked.
Luo Laoer shook his head. "The voice belonged to a man. Who would have thought that it was her? Brother-in-law, this Tu Shuangshuang isn't simple. It's said that among the Sanctification Sect's disciples, she's the only one who's cultivated the highest level of the Heavenly Conversion Technique. Her status in the sect is similar to Xiaolian's status in the Sanctification Sect, and she has a good relationship with Shao Qingfeng and Jiang Xiaodao."
Lu Yin nodded, as he only cared about Mount Supreme. This woman's cultivation was only at three Origin Tribulations, which was far inferior to his own.
However, it had to be said that having a good master truly made a difference. This woman's innate talent might not be comparable to the Ten Arbiters', but her cultivation far surpassed them. This was her background.
"I'm sure all of you are aware of my background. That's right, I was the one who organized this secret auction. I had no choice, as cultivation requires a lot of resources, and I didn't have enough. I could only scrape together some good stuff to share with all of you and get some benefits," Tu Shuangshuang smiled. Her light yellow dress seemed very soft in the dusky mountain, and her voice was very sweet as well.
Jiang Xiaodao shouted, "Sister Shuangshuang, if you're short on money, just tell me! I have it!"
Tu Shuangshuang smiled. "Thank you, Brother Xiaodao, but I still like to earn my own money. Alright, we'll officially begin the secret auction. I'm sure all of you are aware of the demi-humans that appeared in the previous secret auction. They were brought into the Six Direction Training Grounds because of a mountain, and today's first auction is that mountain." She then took out a mountain from her cosmic ring and placed it on the ground, causing it to rumble.
Lu Yin's gaze trembled. That's right, it was Mount Supreme, and he couldn't be wrong about that feeling.
Mount Supreme originated from the Daosource Sect's era, and the one in his hand was a corner of the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect's Heavenly Pillar. In that case, which Heavenly Pillar did this Mount Supreme originate from, and how did it break away?
The Heavenly Pillar had been created by the Primogenitor, and even the Corpse God couldn't break through it. No one knew how Mount Supreme had broken away, but perhaps this Mount Supreme could give them an answer.
"Sister Shuangshuang, are you saying that this mountain can hold a living person?"
Jiang Xiaodao was surprised.
Tu Shuangshuang smiled. "Brother Xiaodao, you can come in and take a look if you don't believe me. Actually, this isn't the venue for today's secret auction. The real venue is inside this mountain."
Everyone looked at the mountain in surprise, but no one entered first. They had all cultivated for so many years, and they were still quite vigilant.
"It seems like all of you are worried. Then, I'll go in first," Tu Shuangshuang smiled and entered the mountain.
Shao Qingfeng stood up. "What's there to worry about? We've known Shuangshuang for decades, so we naturally trust her." He then jumped down and entered the mountain.
Jiang Xiaodao rolled his eyes. "Stop pretending." He then entered as well.
Everyone else entered the mountain one by one.
Lu Yin entered as well, bringing along Luo Laoer.
He Shu looked at Bai Qian.
Bai Qian stood up and took a step forward, entering the mountain.
He Shu hurriedly chased after him.
Those who hadn't been invited looked at each other and gritted their teeth. "Even the big shots have entered. What are we afraid of?"
"Let's broaden our horizons. This is a rare opportunity, so we can't miss it," someone said.
"Enter."
One by one, they entered.
Finally, there was only one mountain left in the dusky mountain wall.
At this moment, the mountain was completely different.
Everyone looked at it in surprise. "It can really change size, and this stone is quite hard."
Lu Yin looked around, but there wasn't anything special about the scenery. It was just a mountain, but since it was the same as Mount Supreme, it should be able to use resources to create a light barrier that would prevent others from entering or leaving.
Just as he thought of this, the light barrier suddenly covered the sky.
Lu Yin was astonished; this was exactly what he had been thinking.
"Shuangshuang, what's this?"
He Shu asked as he stood guard beside Bai Qian.
Tu Shuangshuang placed her hands behind her back and smiled. "This mountain is the first item to be auctioned off, so we naturally have to let everyone see its functions. Look, this light barrier is one of its functions. It can block external attacks, and this mountain can hide a hundred billion people."
Everyone gasped.
Luo Zang raised his hand and struck out with his palm, but the wind from his palm only caused ripples on the light barrier.
He raised his hand to attack again, but he still couldn't break through. His face sank, and he felt uneasy. "Let us out first."
Tu Shuangshuang didn't understand. "Since we're already here, why do we have to leave?"
Shao Qingfeng and the rest looked at Tu Shuangshuang.
Tu Shuangshuang smiled. "I only wanted to catch you guys, but …" She looked at Bai Qian. "A big fish has entered."
He Shu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately attacked Tu Shuangshuang. Jiang Xiaodao and the rest didn't even react to Tu Shuangshuang's words.
Lu Yin raised his brows. Something was wrong.
He Shu used the third of the Stone Gate's Eight Hands, and it passed through Tu Shuangshuang's body without any resistance.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Shao Qingfeng blurted out, "An innate gift of wood." He leaped up and attacked the light barrier. Luo Zang, He Shu, Mu Mu, and the rest all attacked at the same time. They weren't stupid; Tu Shuangshuang was trying to trap them.
However, their attacks didn't affect the light barrier at all.
Tu Shuangshuang's voice came from outside. "This light barrier can block the power of someone who has become immortal. Seniors, don't waste your energy."
"Tu Shuangshuang, what are you doing?
You're inviting trouble for the Hua Sheng! "Shao Qingfeng shouted.
Tu Shuangshuang smiled. "Why should I care about him?"
"You're from the Hua Sheng School!" Jiang Xiaodao shouted. He hadn't expected to be tricked by Tu Shuangshuang, and he still couldn't believe it. Why would Tu Shuangshuang attack them?
It didn't make sense.
Tu Shuangshuang smiled and said, "That's right, I'm a disciple of the Saint Transforming Sect, but I'm not a disciple of the Saint Transforming Sect, so I'm not that important. Besides, my master is someone else. Senior brothers and sisters, time's up.
Shao Qingfeng and Jiang Xiaodao took out their power vessels, and He Shu even took out a blue energy source from his cosmic ring. Their attacks were almost as powerful as those of peak Envoys, but they still couldn't break through the light barrier.
Luo Laoer's face paled. How could this be?
Something had happened again. Why was there so much trouble?
What was going on with this Tu Shuangshuang?
Lu Yin looked up at the light barrier. He wanted to leave, but not through this method. Tu Shuangshuang was very likely to be a spy for the Eternals, and if she was taken away, they would have to face powerful enemies from the Eternals. He didn't have the confidence to do so.
From the looks of it, the Six-Way Society's guess had been right. The Eternals were indeed going to attack the Six-Way Training Hall. The secret auction hadn't been carried out because they didn't want the spies to be caught in one fell swoop. In the end, Xu Wang had exposed a mutant, but there were more spies than just a mutant.
