The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 429
Chapter 429 Immortal Fate of the Ancient Academy
“That’s right. I’m just here to see you. I have no other thoughts. There’s no need for you to have any doubts.” Devil Saint You Luo said indifferently.
Li Qing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the Demon Saint had already said so, it seemed that there shouldn’t be any danger. Presumably, a dignified Void Realm expert, the number one expert in the East China Sea, also disdained to use such lies to deceive a junior like him, right?
If the Demon Saint wanted to harm the two of them, he could directly take action. There was no need to beat around the bush like this. Li Qing did not have any strength to resist.
What puzzled him was why the Demon Saint would let him off? This really didn’t make sense. They had never met each other before, and they didn’t have any friendship to speak of.
The fact that the Demon Saint was able to see through his identity definitely meant that he knew a lot about him and knew that he had two Dao Artifacts on him.
Who could resist the temptation of two Dao Artifacts? What was the reason why the Demon Saint was unable to resist such a great temptation?
Li Qing didn’t think that Devil Saint You Luo was a good person with principles. Such a famous great devil, he had done 800 bad things in his life without a thousand, so how could he not do it?
There must be a special reason.
Demon Saint You Luo sat by the window like this, picked up a glass of wine, poured a glass of wine, and drank on his own.
Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun only felt that the days were like years. The pressure in their hearts was extremely great. In front of this peerless devil, they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
“I can see that you seem to be very afraid of me.” Devil Saint You Luo stood up and smiled, “Since that’s the case, then I won’t be in the way here.”
Before leaving, he added, “Right, if you walk three miles east, you can see an ancient Chinese parasol tree courtyard. Perhaps you can get some opportunities inside.”
After saying this, the Demon Saint’s figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.
“You scared me to death.” Dongfang Bingyun patted his chest. “Why did the Demon Saint suddenly appear in front of us? Do you know him? Or do you have any friendship with some Diabolism character?”
Li Qing shook his head, “I don’t know. Don’t mention this anymore. Let’s go.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to talk more about this matter, Dongfang Bingyun stopped asking.
The two of them left the restaurant and walked three miles east. As expected, they encountered an ancient Chinese parasol tree courtyard.
“How is it? Do you want to go in?” Dongfang Bingyun said.
“Come in, why not? Demon Saint has no reason to deceive us. Perhaps there will really be some kind of opportunity inside.” Li Qing said.
If he wanted to harm them, the Demon Saint could have directly taken them away just now. Why wait until now?
The two of them went forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. It was quiet.
They pushed open the door and entered. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of ancient sycamore trees. Each tree was over ten feet tall and lush. It was obvious that it had a certain age.
The ancient courtyard was quiet. Through the path in the Parasol Tree Forest, they walked straight ahead until they finally arrived at an ancient and unadorned room.
To their surprise, there were quite a few people standing in front of the room, many of whom were acquaintances they had seen before.
Bibo Duo Xiong, Indigo Bamei, Yao Mengxi, the disciples of the three islands, and so on, there were at least a hundred sparsely populated disciples, most of whom were disciples of the great powers of the East China Sea.
There were dozens of Xiantian Tenth Layer experts! The formation was extremely terrifying.
It was clear that these people had come here because they had been instructed by their elders. Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun also relied on the news of the Demon Saint to get here.
Li Qing was very curious, what kind of place was this? Why are there so many elites from the various powers in the East China Sea?
The arrival of the two of them attracted a lot of attention. Seeing that it was someone they didn’t know, most people turned around and didn’t care.
“It’s them!” Bibo Duo Xiong’s eyes turned cold, “Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t make a move here, I would have wanted to get rid of this brat right now!”
“Don’t be impulsive, we can’t attack here!” Someone said.
Even without the patrol team of the Sea God Palace, no one dared to cause trouble here because this place was very special.
“Looks like I’m not late!”
Right at this moment, a deep voice came from behind him. A tall, middle-aged man walked in. His face was rough and his large hands were strong and powerful.
“Sea Suppressing Divine Fist Pei Yunli!” Someone cried out in alarm. Obviously, this was a very impressive figure.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say, “Haha, I actually fell behind Brother Pei, but I’m too late.”
A scholar who looked weak walked in. He held a paper fan in his hand. He looked like an ordinary person. His aura was not revealed at all, and he could not see the depth of it clearly.
“Ghost-Faced Scholar, Ji Bai!” Someone recognized him.
Right at this moment, another golden-armored figure suddenly appeared in the center of the ancient courtyard. It was like a heavenly deity descending into the world, emitting a brilliant golden light.
“Giant Spirit God General Xia Gu!”
Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun walked to a corner and quietly sized up these new characters.
One could tell from the expressions of the crowd that the newcomers were all extremely powerful experts. Their fame was extremely great, and their strength should not be weak. They should be among the top existences in the Xiantian realm of the East China Sea.
In the East China Sea, there was no ranking on the Earth Rankings, but it did not prevent the crowd from recognizing the strength of these experts.
The Sea Suppressing Divine Fist, the Ghost-Faced Scholar, and the Giant Spirit Divine General were all among the top Xiantian experts in the East China Sea, and their strengths were incomparably terrifying. Each and every one of them was a terrifying figure, which naturally triggered the discussions of the crowd.
“Everyone is really here. There are even some new faces.” Ji Bai swept his gaze and saw the scene in the arena.
In the end, his gaze fell on Dongfang Bingyun. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes and he asked, “Who is this woman? She is actually so beautiful, but I have never seen her before. She is simply like the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, pure and flawless.”
Jiang Haisong said, “This is the City Lord of Pearl City, Dongfang Bingyun. He is also at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm. I’m sure many people have never seen him before.”
“Oh? Pearl City? The largest city on the coast of the East China Sea? I’ve heard of this power. I didn’t expect to send people to Sea God Island this time.” Ji Bai smiled faintly.
“I wonder who that person is? He seems to be quite intimate with Dongfang Bingyun.” Someone asked.
He was referring to Li Qing.
Jiang Haibai said, “A nobody, a mere Xiantian 8th layer, is arrogant and arrogant. He actually dared to speak crazily to me before. He is truly arrogant.”
“Arrogant person, you should teach him a lesson. If it wasn’t for the fact that this place isn’t suitable for you to attack, you must make him look good!” Many young and arrogant people looked down at Li Qing arrogantly, their eyes filled with provocation and jealousy.
Li Qing’s expression was expressionless and he allowed these people to judge him, ignoring him in the slightest.
“Looks like they are very hostile to you.” Dongfang Bingyun whispered in his ear.
“It’s just a swarm of flies. Don’t worry about it.” Li Qing closed his eyes to recuperate and didn’t even raise his eyelids.
“Sure enough, he is arrogant. He is actually so rude.” Seeing Li Qing’s indifferent expression, everyone seemed to ignore all the experts present and became even more certain of what they were thinking.
Just as they were talking, the simple room in front of them suddenly opened, and a kind-looking old man walked out.
“The Lord has finally appeared!” Everyone present fell silent. No matter what grievances they had, they had to let go of them now.
“I am the master of this place. You can call me Daoist Yuan. Everyone must have come here with a clear heart. I won’t talk too much nonsense.” The old man paused for a moment and said, “Immortal Fate Society, let’s begin now.”
“Immortal Fate Society?” Li Qing opened his eyes, slightly shocked.
Dongfang Bingyun’s eyes lit up, “I know. So it’s actually the Immortal Fate Gathering! I’ve heard of it a long time ago, but I didn’t expect that I would have the chance to participate in it myself.”
“What kind of thing is Immortal Destiny?” Li Qing asked.
“It’s similar to the form of an auction, but it’s different. The specifications are much higher. The items the old man takes out must be in exchange for items, not spirit stones. We can trade with him for other items. As long as we can get his satisfaction, we can conclude the transaction.”
“This Immortal Destiny Society is quite new. As long as we get his satisfaction, it will be fine.”
“That’s right. There is no need for reciprocity in value. As long as the old man is satisfied, he will be able to conclude the transaction.”
“What would the old man take out in exchange?” Li Qing asked.
“Since it’s called the Immortal Fate Society, it’s definitely a rare item in this world. Otherwise, I would have lost such a great reputation for nothing.”
“That’s right!” Li Qing nodded. If this Immortal Fate Society was able to attract so many elite figures from the East China Sea, then there would definitely be many world-shocking wonders that would not disappoint.
This made him faintly look forward to it.
The old man took out a jade box, opened it, and saw a faint yellow light coming from it. Li Qing took a closer look and found that there was a round light yellow bead inside the jade box.
“What is this?” Many people were discussing it, but none of them recognized it.
“This is the Divine Evolution Pearl.” The old man said the name of the item, then stopped and didn’t say anything.
Everyone was stunned. Isn’t this too simple? Just one name.
Divine Evolution Pearl?
Who knows what this thing is? You should at least introduce its function to attract everyone’s attention.
However, the old man did not seem to see their expressions. He said, “If you have anything good in your hands, just take it out. If you can satisfy me, the deal will be concluded.”
The arena instantly became very quiet, and no one stepped forward to trade. After all, he didn’t know what the Divine Evolution Pearl was, so he naturally wouldn’t easily make a move.
The old man wasn’t in a hurry either. Just like that, the old god was sitting there, waiting for their response.
Li Qing had never seen this pearl, nor even heard of its name. He checked the knowledge of the Demon Ancestor in his mind, but he couldn’t find any relevant memories.
