Chapter 2084 - 2084 2074 Unchanging Stone

2084: Chapter 2074: Unchanging Stone 2084: Chapter 2074: Unchanging Stone Disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect’s shouting caused the surrounding mercenaries to freeze in place, wondering what sorcery the young man before them used.

How had an Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect lost his life in an instant?

The disciples collapsed on the ground and continued to cry out.

There were only five Elders in the Evil Spirit Sect, and now Long Yan had killed one of them with a single move.

The other disciples’ grips on their weapons loosened, uncertain of what kind of entity they had provoked.

Long Yan slowly walked toward the few disciples.

He had never taken the Elder he had just killed seriously; the man was merely at the God King Fifth Level and not a match for him.

“Go back and tell your Sect Master that tonight, I, Long Yan, will be paying a visit.”

After saying that, Long Yan retrieved his Spatial Ring and departed through the teleportation portal.

The leading disciple of the Evil Spirit Sect fiercely slapped himself twice to steady his shaking hands.

He must report this incident to the Sect Master as quickly as possible.

Only the Sect Master had the capacity to deal with this man.

Remembering the Sect Master’s terror, the Evil Spirit Sect disciple shivered all over.

Long Yan’s thinking was quite simple.

A small sect like the Evil Spirit Sect wouldn’t have any Strong Ones; it was negligible.

Zhong Cheng and his two companions followed silently behind Long Yan.

They did not stay quiet because they had nothing to say; their bellies were full of questions.

But recalling how Long Yan had killed the Elder in an instant, the three dared not make casual conversation.

“Why are you three following me?”

Long Yan turned his head, startling the three who were lost in thought.

“I…”

Zhong Cheng clearly didn’t know what to say.

They feared Long Yan might kill them in a fit of anger, but they were too embarrassed to voice such a notion.

Seeing Zhong Cheng hesitate to speak, Long Yan guessed what was on their minds.

After all, he wasn’t a bloodthirsty killer.

“Just go do whatever you need to do.”

Long Yan waved them off and entered the Mercenary Guild.

There are no walls that stop the wind; the news of Long Yan killing an Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect swept through the small town like a Tornado.

Seeing Long Yan walk in, all the mercenaries ceased their noise.

The previously bustling Guild fell silent.

Mercenaries always respected the strong, and obviously, Long Yan was much more powerful than them.

“Hello, are you here to accept a mission or to hand one in?”

The woman behind the counter smiled, but Long Yan could see a sense of awe in her face.

Before, they had not believed that Long Yan could contend with the Evil Spirit Sect.

“Handing in a mission.”

Long Yan took out the Dark Night Flower from his ring and placed it on the table.

The woman in front of him was surprised.

The mission had been posted for a long time, and she didn’t expect that Long Yan would actually complete it.

“Here is your reward.”

The professional woman didn’t show any change in expression as she gracefully placed a bag of Mysterious Lingdan on the table.

She watched as Long Yan picked up the bag of Mysterious Lingdan and strode out the door.

The once silent Mercenary Guild erupted into a frenzy of discussion.

Long Yan paid no attention to the discussions of the mercenaries.

He weighed the bag in his hand, which contained about seventy to eighty Mysterious Lingdans.

A single Mysterious Lingdan was enough to support an Ordinary Family for one year.

Seventy to eighty were not a small sum.

The money didn’t mean much to Long Yan; he planned to exchange it for other things to enrich the Seven-Star Hall.

He was now the chief disciple of the Seven-Star Hall and ought to do something for them.

They even entrusted him with their sect’s treasures, the Nine Star War Dragon Decision.

Long Yan had arrived at the mall in the Small Town.

He had learned of this place from Zhong Cheng and had decided to bid on some items here.

“The next Auction is about to start.”

The kid outside the door was energetically promoting the event, and in this small town, most people were just there for the excitement, with hardly enough money to participate in the auction.

Long Yan walked into the large shopping mall, where the seats weren’t numbered.

Only the people in the first two rows were serious about bidding on items, while the rest were there simply to watch the spectacle.

Because of the admission fee, the mall didn’t object to the presence of these spectators.

Long Yan just took a seat in a corner of the second row.

It wasn’t long before an old man took the stage, accompanied by a beautiful hired assistant.

“Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, next we’ll be auctioning a millennium-old Unchanging Stone.”

Right off the bat, a heavy hitter; as the name implied, this material was essential for forging artifacts.

However, since Long Yan knew nothing about refining, the thing wasn’t of much significance to him.

“Twenty Mysterious Lingdan.”

“Twenty-one Mysterious Lingdan.”

The price kept rising, but not to any great heights.

On this small town, there were just a couple of people who could afford to win the bid.

If they weren’t interested in such an item, it was likely to be passed in.

“The young master wants it.”

An arrogant voice came from the first row, spoken by a young man clad in fancy purple attire.

“Our Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, Evil Young Master Fei, bids fifty Mysterious Lingdan.”

Evil Young Master Fei was a regular here; his claim was a signal for the auction house to give a reasonable price.

The Evil Spirit Sect was the most intimidating faction in the small town, and generally, nobody dared to compete with him.

“Sixty.”

Just as the auctioneer on stage was about to bring down the hammer, a voice came from the corner of the second row.

Long Yan wore a mocking expression.

Since he’d already offended the Evil Spirit Sect, might as well do so thoroughly.

“Hm?”

A flash of cold light passed through Evil Young Master Fei’s eyes.

There weren’t many in this small town who dared offend the Evil Spirit Sect.

“We should prevent irresponsible bidders by first verifying they have sufficient assets.”

Although what Evil Young Master Fei said was effectively a veiled warning to Long Yan, the latter didn’t take such threats seriously at all.

With a “clack”, Long Yan tossed the bag containing the Mysterious Lingdan onto the table in front of him—the sound it made as it hit the table suggested there were nearly two hundred of them.

“One hundred.”

Evil Young Master Fei gritted his teeth; the Unchanging Stone was very important to him.

With this material, he could get his father to spend the money to forge an artifact for him.

“One hundred fifty.”

As soon as Evil Young Master Fei finished speaking, Long Yan shouted out his bid.

To him, these Mysterious Lingdan were nothing significant.

The entire shopping mall inhaled sharply.

Setting aside the courage it took for Long Yan to oppose Evil Young Master Fei, just coming up with the one hundred fifty Mysterious Lingdan was not something ordinary people could manage.

“One hundred eighty.”

Evil Young Master Fei bit his lip.

This was almost his limit; if Long Yan raised the bid again, he wouldn’t buy it no matter what.

It wasn’t like he was a fool—just because his dad was rich.

Long Yan guessed Evil Young Master Fei’s limit and didn’t raise the bid any further, opting instead to rest with his eyes closed.

In the end, as the hammer struck the table, Evil Young Master Fei won the Unchanging Stone for one hundred eighty Mysterious Lingdan.
