Chapter 1443 Murderous Intent
Eight passageways at the space station were exclusive for the people who came for the auction.
Zhang Han and his group waited in line while taking a sightseeing aircraft.
After the inspection, the staff let them pass. They arrived at the Auction City according to the route in midair arranged by the Limitless Sect.
“This city is very large.”
Mu Xue looked around and said, “The tallest disc building in the central area must be the auction house, right?”
It was a city full of science and technology. There were many intelligent machines cleaning or patrolling the streets and alleys, serving everyone.
Many pedestrians could also be seen on the main streets.
There were many hotels and buildings, and many aircraft were shuttling back and forth along the designed routes.
It was a very lively and bustling scene.
“According to the information I read just now, every auction is a great gathering of the Limitless Sect, which is very famous in the Strange Wind Astral Domain. Moreover, the Limitless Sect would take out some precious treasures every time, including several kinds of eighth-tier spirit treasures,” Chu Qingyi said. “Some other sects would also send their men over to auction some spirit treasures, and the most famous one was a ninth-tier gem. In the end, it was bought by a big sect at a high price.”
“Hahaha, spirit treasures are nothing to Big Brother,” said Grand Master Chu with a loud laugh.
“We’re still short of treasures now.” Mengmeng muttered, “Especially spiritual herbs.”
She seemed to be reminding him that he should pay Zhang Han some protection money.
Grand Master Chu didn’t say anything. He provided a lot of spiritual herbs for Zhang Han as well as issued a reward. The Chu family, the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak, and Old Taoist Honghu also spent a lot of crystal stones on putting out a bounty.
“Let’s find a hotel to stay in for now,” Zhang Han said.
“I’ll do it.”
Mu Xue nodded. She was in charge of various logistic work including serving tea to Zhang Han.
After a while, Mu Xue found a hotel. It was a cylindrical skyscraper.
Everyone had booked a room, which was full of a sense of technology.
After they checked in, Zhang Han sat in his room.
He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes.
His mind was constantly focused on the red seal on his palm.
“Blood Source Incantation!”
Clatter!
Two red threads, which were much brighter than before, flashed away in his perception.
“Daddy!”
Mengmeng, Grand Master Chu, and the others entered the room.
“Master, is there any news?” Mu Xue asked.
“Yes.”
Zhang Han nodded slightly and said, “They’re in a place quite far away. Let’s rest for three hours, and then we’ll set off.”
“Okay.”
They waited in silence for three hours.
Zhang Han got everything ready in an orderly manner.
He once again sensed the seal of the Blood Source Incantation.
“Let’s wait for now.”
Zhang Han frowned slightly and said, “The seal is moving. Judging from the direction… they may also come here. Let’s wait and see first.”
“Will they come here?” Grand Master Chu thought for a moment and said, “I guess they will. The people of the Limitless Sect definitely don’t want to miss this auction. It won’t be long. The auction will start in three days.”
“Yeah.”
Zhang Han nodded slightly.
Time passed slowly while they were waiting.
But the good news was that when Zhang Han sensed again that night, the distance was getting closer and closer.
Their guys were very likely to be in the Auction City.
The next day.
There were still two more days before the auction.
Zhang Han could finally clearly feel the source of energy.
“They’ve entered the city!”
Zhang Han suddenly got up.
The crowd quickly went out and took a small-scale aircraft to the Auction City.
They moved very fast on the streets.
Finally, they arrived in front of a manor’s main entrance.
The manor was called King Luo Dong’s Mansion.
“You are not allowed to enter without an invitation letter.”
As soon as Zhang Han and the others got close, they were stopped.
There were a total of eight guards at the gate of King Luo Dong’s Mansion, who were all dressed in armor and looked very well-organized.
“Tell King Luo Dong that an old friend has come to visit,” Zhang Han said flatly.
As soon as he said that, the expression of the captain of the guards changed slightly. However, the guards still stop them. “His Grace is busy. If you want to visit him, please contact King Luo Dong after the auction.”
“Hmm?”
Grand Master Chu frowned and used his power of the Mastery Realm to cover that place.
The leading guard’s face changed.
He was sure that the other party was in the Mastery Realm with such overwhelming power.
However, he was unable to tell exactly how powerful Zhang Han and his group were.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, “Milords, please wait a moment. I’ll go and ask His Grace for further instructions right away.”
As he spoke, he turned and left in a hurry.
Zhang Han and the others were waiting here.
“Big Brother, do you know King Luo Dong?” Grand Master Chu asked via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
“No, I don’t,” Zhang Han replied.
Grand Master Chu sighed in his heart. “Big Brother indeed has the power to come straight to someone he doesn’t know.”
In fact, Zhang Han had heard from Mu Xue that King Luo Dong’s Mansion was the residence of Luo Dong, the First Elder and one of the main figures of the Limitless Sect.
No matter what, since Zhang Han already knew that their guys were in there, he would use the simplest method to get in and talk.
In the Strange Wind Astral Domain, the ones in the Mastery Realm were not little people but elites at the top.
Therefore, a few minutes later, the captain of the guards came out of the mansion and said, “Milords, please come in.
“His Grace is busy with some private matters. Please wait for a few moments. You can have some tea and rest here.”
Zhang Han and the others were arranged to stay in a hall.
After about half an hour, an old man with sharp eyebrows and small eyes came to them. He gave off a very fierce sensation.
King Luo Dong looked them up and down before he asked, “Who are you?”
“We’re here to look for two people. They’re in your mansion,” Zhang Han replied calmly.
Zhang Han’s combat capability was higher than his cultivation level, which was the Void-refining Realm, but he was far inferior to the Mastery Realm masters.
As for King Luo Dong, he was a cultivator in the Middle Stage of Mastery. It was said that his combat capability was comparable to that of some cultivators at the Last Stage of Mastery Realm, and he was very powerful and had a prominent status in the Strange Wind Astral Domain.
“Hahaha.”
King Luo Dong laughed. “Who do you think you are? Do you think that you can look for someone as you please?”
There was a questioning tone in his voice.
But he was also on the alert. “Who on earth are these people?
“Where are they from?” He couldn’t sense anything unusual from Zhang Han’s group. “There is a master in the Mastery Realm among them. They’re not here to make trouble, are they? Are they really here to find someone?”
All kinds of questions popped up in King Luo Dong’s mind.
Clatter!
Without saying a word, Zhang Han directly took out more than 50 crystal stones, which were the Thunder Yang Crystals.
“Supreme-grade crystal stones?”
King Luo Dong’s pupils contracted.
It was obvious that the other party was not an ordinary person to possess supreme-grade crystal stones.
Swoosh!
Zhang Han put away the crystal stones and said, “I’ll take them away when I find them. The crystal stones will be yours.”
“Okay.”
King Luo Dong did not hesitate.
Dozens of top-grade crystals were of great value and use, especially great for collection. After all, supreme-grade crystals were so rare that they were almost impossible to find.
“Guys, bring all the people in the mansion here.” King Luo Dong waved his hand.
“No need to do that. I’ll find them myself,” Zhang Han said.
He was always calm, which confused King Luo Dong.
But he was very disgusted with this, and he began to dislike Zhang Han.
However, for the sake of the supreme-grade crystal stones, he could endure it.
King Luo Dong got up and walked forward silently. When he reached the gate, he paused for a moment and then asked Zhang Han and the others to walk beside him.
“You can look for your men in the mansion, but I’ll keep these crystal stones no matter whether you’ll get to find them or not,” King Luo Dong said with a faint smile.
“Okay.”
Zhang Han agreed without any hesitation.
After sensing the seal of the Blood Source Incantation, he noticed that two threads were connected to the backyard in his mind.
He walked straight through the path, the pond, and the edge of the martial arts practice field.
When he saw the scene clearly, Zhang Han’s face suddenly changed.
He was panting, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
As if he couldn’t hide it anymore, he closed his eyes.
“Grandpa, Grandma!”
Mengmeng exclaimed and ran over.
When King Luo Dong looked at Mengmeng’s figure, his eyes were filled with surprise.
The young girl seemed to be to his liking.
Under everyone’s gaze.
Next to the martial arts practice field, Zhang Guangyou and Rong Jiali were standing beside a huge stone pillar with flames burning on its surface.
They were both injured. Their faces were pale, and their breaths were in disorder. Chains were tied to their feet, which made them look like prisoners. The chains, which should have been brown, were slightly red under the flaming stone pillar. The temperature was obviously high.
Seeing this, Zhang Han could not hide the anger in his heart at all.
“Humph!”
Grand Master Chu snorted coldly. As if he could not suppress his aura, he looked at King Luo Dong with sharp eyes.
However, King Luo Dong didn’t care about it at all. He observed very carefully. Through some reactions, he felt that the most powerful one among these people was the old man in the Mastery Realm, who was very likely to be in the Early Stage.
He ignored Grand Master Chu and continued to observe Zhang Han. The only person he was uncertain about was this man.
If he had known Zhang Han’s cultivation level, he would have already robbed the crystal stones.
Now he guessed that these people couldn’t suppress his strength, but he still had fear of the forces behind them. If they had amazing backgrounds, he would have to wait and see.
“Han, Mengmeng.”
Zhang Guangyou and Rong Jiali’s consciousness was a little blurred at first, and they didn’t come to their senses until Mengmeng approached them. They couldn’t help but be surprised.
Mengmeng cried. She held the two of them in her arms and controlled the Dark Cold Fire to expel the heat of the chains.
“Here are the crystal stones. Now I’ll take my guys away.”
Zhang Han spoke very slowly. He was afraid that he could not suppress his killing intent. He knew that he had to stay rational, at least in King Luo Dong’s Mansion. He had to calm down.
“So you want these two people?”
King Luo Dong narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you know how big a mistake they have made?”
Zhang Han didn’t respond.
“What mistake did they commit that made you punish them like this?” Mu Xue said with a cold face.
“Hahaha.”
Mu Xue looked quite pretty to her. He did not show any anger in the face of her unfriendly attitude.
He said indifferently, “I was refining the most important treasures, which I had accumulated for many years. I wanted to get the ninth-tier spiritual Qi, but they suddenly interrupted me. It cost me so many spiritual treasures. How much do you think they should pay for me before I can let them go?”
“What?!”
Chu Qingyi’s expression changed slightly. “You can’t refine a ninth-tier spirit treasure. You’re demanding an exorbitant price!”
Mu Xue echoed, “Ninth-tier spirit treasures are so rare. How could they be casually refined?”
Swoosh!
King Luo Dong’s face darkened slightly. He stared straight at Chu Qingyi. A wave of soul power pervaded the air. His voice turned cold.
“Do you think this is a place where you can be presumptuous? If you say more bullshit, I’ll kill you!”
