Chapter 339: Chapter 208: Power Beyond the Realm (Two-in-One for Subscriptions) Chapter 339: Chapter 208: Power Beyond the Realm (Two-in-One for Subscriptions) Moon Spirit Grass as old as five hundred years is indeed qualified to be featured in a major auction.

Shopkeeper Niu of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion had also once suggested this to the owner of the Moon Spirit Grass.

But the owner was adamantly unwilling to wait that long.

This left Shopkeeper Niu with a slight tinge of regret.

After all, the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion also had performance targets to meet, and if the five hundred-year-old Moon Spirit Grass could fetch a sky-high price at the major auction,

he would surely have been rated as outstanding this year!

Time flew by, and soon the day arrived for the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion to hold a small-scale auction.

The regular patrons of the teahouses on the streets, as well as the merchants, quickly noticed something unusual.

“Eh, isn’t that the Huang Family patriarch’s mount, the Flying Cloud Lion?”

“Not only that, the Dongyi Family’s Two-headed Fire-swallowing Jiao is here too!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, today is the day the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion is holding an auction, right? To what do we owe the presence of so many Old Ancestors? Could something good be up for grabs?”

“The environment in the Immortal Cultivation World is getting worse, and the good stuff is getting scarcer. The great sects that get hold of anything would primarily use it for themselves.”

“What a pity, I didn’t vie for an invitation to this auction; I won’t be able to enjoy the show.”

The cultivators in the teahouses sipped their tea and nibbled on snacks while making guesses.

After most of the guests attending the auction had arrived,

suddenly, an immense suppression descended upon this district of the city.

The many cultivators promptly looked to the sky.

They saw an effeminate-looking young master arriving upon a red cloud.

Above the cloud, aside from the master, were two sword-wielding maids.

The clothes and patterns they wore made any cultivator who saw them clearly change their demeanor.

“It’s the young master from the Demon Hunting Mansion in the Inner City District!”

The Demon Hunting Mansion was not a local power that guarded Immortal City.

Like that great personage in the Inspection Office, they were powers that had been summoned to Chi Yuan’s main peak, originally from the realm of cultivators above the Golden Core,

and had accepted the invitation to reside in Guardian Immortal City as high-end combat forces.

In today’s Guardian Immortal City, only these foreign cultivators possessed the strength of Golden Core Great Powers.

The major families native to Immortal City, on the other hand, held onto some of the foundations left by the Old Ancestors who went to the main peak and had partial control over the city’s formations, barely ensuring they weren’t directly torn apart and swallowed by new tyrants.

However, as the strong cultivators above Golden Core didn’t return for an extended time,

even the fairly just higher-ups never actually lifted a hand to help suppress,

local powers of Immortal City still found their industries slowly being encroached upon and suppressed by these newcomers, who also absorbed various talents.

“I, too, am very interested in the five hundred-year-old Moon Spirit Grass.”

“It so happens, I’ve successfully made a breakthrough after emerging from my recent seclusion, and I am now ready to prepare for the Core Formation!”

The young master lightly touched down, his voice intentionally loud enough for those around to take note, sending a shiver through their hearts,

while the maids who landed beside him stepped forward, and in her hand appeared three invitations.

The auction recognized tickets, not faces.

The receptionists saw this and quickly welcomed them.

Soon, these three entered amidst complex and envious gazes from those around.

“It seems my Moon Spirit Grass is quite popular, isn’t it?”

Su Ping sat on the second floor of the teahouse and, seeing this scene, he stroked his chin and stood up to leave.

After estimating the right timing,

he summoned the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong to appear in an inconspicuous tavern on the streets of the Outer City District,

while his real self left Guardian Immortal City with swift strides.

By the time the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion auction officially began under Shopkeeper Niu’s calls,

Su Ping was already tens of kilometers away from Guardian Immortal City, and that distance was rapidly increasing.

At the same time, Exorcism Mage Yun Kong also left the tavern and made his presence known.

Because of the five hundred-year-old Moon Spirit Grass,

spies from various Immortal City forces had long been searching for the white-haired young man.

Upon discovering Yun Kong’s appearance, these spies, who had been coming up empty-handed for some time, were all dumbfounded.

“Impossible! We’ve searched that district at least ten times!”

“Those monitoring nearby districts also didn’t see any trace of him coming and going!”

“This Foundation Establishment youth is no simple character, huh!”

“Nonsense! Any disciple sent by a power that can provide five hundred-year-old Moon Spirit Grass is not to be taken lightly!”

“The question now is, which sect’s disciple is he, and why can’t we find even a hint of his background?”

These puzzled spies and their superiors behind the scenes all found themselves with a growing headache.

Meanwhile, in Guardian Immortal City’s Inspection Office, the Seven-Colored Fairy also took a bit of interest in Exorcism Mage Yun Kong’s sudden appearance,

for her Spirit Ghosts, which monitor the whole city, had also failed to notice how the white-haired youth had just appeared in that district.

The absence of traces was itself the most significant clue.

In an instant, the names of dozens of powers, both allies and foes, had flashed through the mind of this Golden Core Great Power.

While Su Ping controlled Exorcism Mage Yun Kong to brazenly head towards the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion,

some spies who had been ordered to do so stood up, intent on questioning him.

However, just as they were getting up and before they could take any action, a Sword Qi barred their way.

This anomaly immediately drew the attention of the other spies,

and then they discovered that the one intervening was a spy from the Dongli Clan!

The Dongli Clan was considered a prominent family under the Dongli Immortal Sect in Chi Yuan; they had a Golden Core Old Ancestor, Dongli Qiudao, stationed at the main peak of Chi Yuan on assignment,

and they had branches left in various Immortal Cities.

“Why…why stop us?”

The puzzled cultivator, who had been stopped, looked perplexed.

The Dongli cultivator who stopped him just gave a wry smile and said,

“These are the orders from the Old Ancestor, our Dongli Clan must protect that white-haired young cultivator.”
