Chapter 557: Chapter 536 Lan Wuyue Being Auctioned (3/3)

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is the number one power on the Xuanqian Continent; Zhou Heng could be sure of this!

And according to Yang Lanxin, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion also holds tremendous power in the Immortal Realm, with connections reaching all the way to Juexian City! Even if it is not the number one power, it is certainly not something that any Sunshine Realm family could contend with.

Therefore, Fan Tong slunk away in defeat.

Zhou Heng believed that this guy would not let things rest so easily.

However, his cultivation level was very "pure," being a Moonlight King—the lowest level among immortals. It was a pity that he no longer possessed the unstable aura of someone who had just entered the Moonlight Realm since he had formed the Tenth Wheel Waning Moon, which would have made him even more deceptive.

To deal with a Moonlight King, even an old Moonlight King with extraordinary talent, what expert would need to be deployed?

In the Immortal Realm, Nine Wheels Moon and Ten Wheels Moon represent the limit! Therefore, even a Ten Wheels Moon, after removing the seven wheels of the Bright Moon as emperor, with the unification of the remaining three waning moons, only equates to a One Wheel and a Half Moon.

A Ten Wheels Moon King equals just a One Wheel Moonlight Emperor!

Therefore, even if others took Zhou Heng very seriously, deploying a Two Wheels Moonlight Emperor would be sufficient to slay him.

A Moonlight Emperor? Not even a Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor could kill Zhou Heng!

On the contrary, with underestimation on their part, Zhou Heng might even have a chance to slay a Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor!

Fan Tong had two Moonlight Emperors at his side, and given his vengeful nature, he would definitely want to watch Zhou Heng die. Thus, if Fan Tong wished to kill Zhou Heng, it would also be the best opportunity for Zhou Heng to counterattack.

"You need to be careful," Yang Lanxin said softly in his arms, unable to suppress a sigh in her heart. How was Zhou Heng so adept at provoking hatred that people came to kick down their door even when he was just sitting in a private box?

"Haha, the one who should be careful is that tub of lard!" Zhou Heng laughed heartily.

As long as the Moonlight Emperor does not appear, Zhou Heng fears not even a Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor. If he can’t beat them, can he not still run away?

Before long, the auction officially began.

As a major force in the Immortal Realm, the items that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were willing to auction off naturally were not ordinary, even if this was just a minor location in North Hai City.

The majority were Spirit Grass and Pills; among them was the Green Brilliance Pill that Zhou Heng sold to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, with an astonishing starting bid of three thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones, but only ten pills were offered!

Because it carried the label "Top Grade," the Green Brilliance Pills up for auction fetched up to five thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones at most, with the least still going for three thousand eight hundred. All ten Green Brilliance Pills were purchased by one man, none other than the arrogant Fan Tong, who acted as if he wished he had eight legs to strut about with.

The man threw his wealth around without hesitation, perfectly portraying the lavish spender that brings a family to ruin.

That was the wealth display from a family of the Sunshine Realm, with at least tens of thousands of years of accumulated wealth, something unimaginable to outsiders. After consecutive kills with five thousand Immortal Stones, no one dared to compete with him anymore, allowing him to easily snag the remaining Green Brilliance Pills for three thousand eight hundred each.

Zhou Heng quietly watched, yet in his heart, he wondered if he should have laced the Green Brilliance Pills with some poison, knowing they would be bought by this guy?

According to Yang Lanxin, if Moon Wheel Techniques were auctioned, they could fetch high prices, easily reaching a hundred and fifty or sixty thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones. Thus, Zhou Heng, holding twenty-one thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones, did not dare to spend recklessly. Today’s target was the Moon Wheel Technique!

"My fellow guests, the next item up for auction is something that our establishment was originally reluctant to accept. However, our policy is that, as long as the auction fee is paid and the item is valuable, it can enter the auction. Therefore, we must follow the rules," the auctioneer said with a hint of embarrassment.

Continuing, the auctioneer announced, "The upcoming auction item is a person!"

A person?

Can a person be auctioned off?

"Yes," Yang Lanxin said, "some captured experts are fitted with a Soul Locking Ring, which grants complete control over their life and death to someone else, so if they don’t wish to die, they must obey commands."

How was this any different from the Mo Family using innocent people as drug testers?

Footsteps sounded, and a young girl was pushed onto the stage, hardly beyond fourteen or fifteen years of age, her little face brimming with fear.

Boom!

Zhou Heng immediately stood up, his eyes swirling with murderous intent.

That girl... it was Lan Wuyue!

How did she end up being auctioned off? What about her parents, her brother?

Yang Lanxin also gasped, her pretty face showing anger. She was ruthless, but in just one day’s company, Lan Wuyue’s innocence had touched the most vulnerable part of her heart.

"Everyone must be wondering, although this young girl is somewhat beautiful, how could she be considered a treasure?" The auctioneer walked up to Lan Wuyue, gave her a light pat, and a streak of dark light flashed, revealing two black shadows extending from Lan Wuyue’s back!

Those weren’t shadows, they were... two black wings!

Alien Races!

Suddenly, the room erupted in noisy chatter; although the existence of Alien Races in the Immortal Realm was not unusual, in fact, the realm accommodated all sorts of races, and there were many aliens even in this market. However, some alien races were coveted by others due to their unique traits.

For instance, the Fox Clan, whose women are innately enchanting—a divine gift to men!

That’s why there are those who specifically traffic Fox Clan women. Since they are exceedingly rare, each Fox woman could fetch an exorbitant price.

Or the Elf Race, for example, both males and females are exceedingly handsome, and they have a natural affinity for nature. Cultivating with them can lead to a better comprehension of the natural world.

Or... the Wind Wings Clan!

The women of this race are likewise treasures to men, seen as seductive as women of the Fox Clan in bed and said to be indescribably delightful. However, thousands of years ago, following the death of a Wind Wings Clan big shot in battle, the race fell into misfortune. Their unity was broken, and they scattered to hide in various locations within the Forty-Nine Immortal Cities.

Who would have thought that one would actually appear here!

A creature so enchanting that it leaves men at a loss for words!

Most of those present are men, young and old alike, all of whom instantly felt a raging desire. Just how enchanting can this indescribable wonder be? The legend has been around for who knows how many years, and now, with the real person before their eyes, who wouldn’t feel an itch in their heart?

Buy her! Buy her!

They were all prepared to pay a hefty sum. Besides, after growing tired of her, couldn’t they simply sell her off?

Upon seeing Lan Wuyue’s wings, Zhou Heng finally realized why he felt a sense of déjà vu towards their family.

Nalan Yaoyue!

It was the demon girl sealed in the puppet given to him by the Old Madman, possessing the same wings and even bearing a slight resemblance in appearance!

"Zhou Heng, we can’t let Xiao Yue fall into the hands of that trash!" Yang Lanxin said seriously.

Zhou Heng nodded, he had already made this decision, but he hadn’t expected Yang Lanxin to think the same.

It was a bit out of character for her!

"You... don’t want the Moon Wheel Technique anymore?" Zhou Heng asked.

"No need!" Yang Lanxin said without hesitation. A Wind Wings Clan beauty could definitely fetch a sky-high price. If they bid for Lan Wuyue, then they certainly wouldn’t have enough money to compete for the spells that followed.

Fortunately, not all spells at the auction were necessarily the Moon Wheel Jue, and this wasn’t the only auction. However, there was only one Lan Wuyue!

Neither Zhou Heng nor Yang Lanxin could accept the outcome of the young girl being violated by others!

"The auction begins now, with a starting bid of ten thousand lower-grade Immortal Stones!" the auctioneer announced loudly.

"One hundred thousand!" As soon as the words were spoken, an arrogant voice came from the next private room.

This voice, Zhou Heng had heard many times—it was Fan Tong!

"One hundred and ten thousand!" Someone was not willing to let the Wind Wings Clan beauty be taken away so easily.

"Two hundred thousand!" Fan Tong declared arrogantly.

"Two hundred and ten thousand!" Someone else called out, a woman with a husky voice.

"Three hundred thousand!" Fan Tong laughed heartily. "This bird woman is a must-have for this young master. Who else dares to compete with me, bring it on! I have plenty of Immortal Stones!"

Three hundred thousand!

Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin exchanged glances; they hadn’t even had the chance to make a move!

"Three hundred thousand once!"

"Three hundred thousand twice!"

"Three hundred thousand three times!"

"Sold!"

The auction concluded swiftly and cleanly; in less than a minute, the outcome was decided, showcasing Fan Tong’s financial strength.

"What do we do?" Yang Lanxin looked at Zhou Heng.

"We’ll snatch her once the auction ends," Zhou Heng said coldly.

Yang Lanxin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Zhou Heng’s sudden surge of battle power was terrifying, and he could definitely snatch the person away if caught off guard. If he then used Swift Cloud Radiant Step to escape, no one could catch up unless the Moonlight Emperor intervened!

"For now, let’s wait patiently. If the Moon Wheel Jue appears, we’ll make our bid!" Zhou Heng declared.

The auction continued, with several weapons being offered next.

Due to the scarcity of metals in the Immortal Realm, these weapons, even if not Immortal Artifacts, fetched high prices. After all, they were exceedingly sharp and could tear apart the bodies of Immortals of the same rank, greatly enhancing one’s battle power.

Zhou Heng resisted the urge to bid; he needed these metals to enhance his physique, but the few items offered wouldn’t make much difference, so he held back, waiting for the final spell to be introduced.

If it was the final item, there was a very high likelihood it was the Moon Wheel Jue.

"Thank you for your patronage. Now, it’s time for the final item of the evening, and our star piece, this is a scroll— the Moon Wheel Jue!" the auctioneer paused for effect before shouting loudly. Immediately, a maid in a white dress came over holding a jade tray, on which lay a book protected by a Restriction, making it impossible for others to scan its contents with Divine Sense.

"This Moon Wheel Jue is known as ’Thousand Frost Chill.’ Once mastered, the summoned Moonlight can freeze thousands of miles, capable of directly attacking Deities—truly formidable!" the auctioneer announced.

Martial Arts Techniques in the Immortal Realm are classified by rank, and Immortal Techniques of the Moonlight Realm certainly can’t compare to those of the Sunshine Realm. For example, Swift Cloud Radiant Step is far superior to the Feiyu Seven Swords and the Overturning Heaven Palm. However, the Moon Wheel Technique is not classified by rank, and its power depends entirely on the Caster’s own strength and mastery of it.

Therefore, the Moon Wheel Technique is exceedingly precious—after all, how could Sunshine Realm Techniques appear in the Twelve Immortal Cities? Besides, the Moon Wheel Technique is the best way to bring out the power of the Moonlight Realm!

The art is not necessarily better the higher its tier, but rather the more suited it is.

"The bidding starts at fifty thousand lower-grade Immortal Stones, please place your bids!"(To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
