Chapter 1357

“Hehe, although the Sea Heart Sect is far away in the Worry-Free Sea and is quite a distance from here, after all, its strength is not weak. I have also heard a lot about it. And among the Sea Heart Sect, the only one with such red hair is probably only Brother Cui.” The martial artist blocking in front of the people of the Sea Heart Sect explained with a calm expression.

After hearing his compliment, the complexion of the red-haired old man improved slightly, but he didn’t relax his vigilance either. He said, “Who are you？”

“My surname is Xie！” The man showed a mysterious smile.

“Surname Xie？ What does it have to do with me？” The red-haired old man frowned.

The Xie surname martial artist frowned, looking a little surprised. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, “Brother Cui has come from a long distance. How many days has it been？”

“It’s only been three days, but what does that have to do with you？” The red-haired old man was a bit confused by what the other person said. The other person neither stated his purpose nor revealed his identity. It was really very suspicious. Moreover, he asked these senseless questions, making him extremely impatient.

“So that’s it. Presumably, Brother Cui hasn’t carefully inquired about the situation and circumstances near Tianyun City, right？” The martial artist surnamed Xie, however, seemed to understand something and smiled slightly.

The red-haired old man snorted coldly： “So what if I haven’t？ Just say what you have to say directly. Don’t beat around the bush！”

The martial artist surnamed Xie chuckled and said： “Brother Cui, don’t be offended. If that’s the case, then it’s not difficult to explain why the disciples of your sect would go to Longxue Mountain to beard the tiger.”

“Beard the tiger？” The red-haired old man narrowed his eyes. “Just that small mountain？ Do they deserve it？”

The martial artist surnamed Xie said indifferently： “If Brother Xie tells you that the owner of that small mountain has a good relationship with Elder Qian Tong, and there are even rumors that he has some relationship with City Lord Fei Zhitu, and also a martial artist in the Return to Void First Layer realm died at his hands, would Brother Cui still look down on him like this？”

“What?” The red-haired old man’s complexion changed drastically, his face was unpredictable, and he shouted in a low voice: “Is this true?”

“Brother Xie has no need to lie to you.”

“Even so, so what? He killed my elite disciple, and he must pay with blood for his debt! The red-haired old man shouted with a fierce look but a cowardly heart. Although the information told by this martial artist surnamed Xie made him a bit afraid, today’s matter was of great importance, and he couldn’t help but think of ways to seek revenge and avenge the hatred.

If he didn’t take any action, he wouldn’t even be able to return to the Haixin Sect.

“Hahaha！ That’s exactly what I want to hear from Brother Cui.” Hearing this, the martial artist surnamed Xie laughed loudly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, “To tell you the truth, Brother Cui, the Return to Void Realm martial artist who died at the hands of the master of that small mountain is exactly aElder of my Xie family. My Xie family and that brat are also sworn enemies！”

“Oh?” The red-haired old man seemed a bit surprised. Then, as if he remembered something, he looked up and down at the martial artist blocking the front and hesitated, “There is a deacon named Xie Li in the Shadow Moon Hall. Is he related to you?”

“Xie Li is exactly my cousin！” The martial artist surnamed Xie smiled slightly.

Hearing this, the red-haired old man’s face showed great joy. He no longer dared to be negligent and actually politely bow and said, “So it’s Brother Xie. I, Cui, have been disrespectful.”

“It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!” The warrior surnamed Xie waved his hand indifferently and said affectionately, “Those who don’t know are not to be blamed. Brother Cui is staying nearby with his disciples to monitor the movements of the Emperor’s Garden, right? If you don’t mind, how about going to the Xie family to stay for a few days? Although our Xie family is not a very big family, and a few wing rooms can still be vacated.

“That would be great. I just don’t know if it will bother your family.” The red-haired old man’s face lit up with joy. He was just worried that he couldn’t find a good place to stay, but he didn’t expect that someone would invite him here. And listening to what this person said just now, it seems that the grudge with the owner of that small hill is not small. Suddenly, he felt a bit of empathy and common hatred with him, and agreed without thinking. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Although the red-haired old man also knew that the other party seemed to have the idea of borrowing strength, he didn’t care at all.”

“Brother Cui, what are you talking about? Your sect can come to the Xie family to stay, but it makes our humble place shine. This way, please. Let’s talk while we walk. I have been longing for the Wuyou Sea for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to go there.” The warrior surnamed Xie invited.

“Please！” The red-haired old man was polite for a while, and then the two of them led more than a dozen disciples of the Haixin Sect and rushed towards the Xie family’s main altar.

The warrior surnamed Xie was very talkative. Along the way, he chatted with the red-haired old man incessantly about some strange people and strange things, and even more appropriately expressed his yearning for the Wuyou Sea, immediately making the red-haired old man feel what it means to be treated like a guest at home.

After chatting for a while, the red-haired old man began to inquire about the situation of Yang Kai. After learning that his backstage was actually Qian Tong, his complexion couldn’t help but change slightly. If this was the case, then the difficulty of avenging would not be small.

Moreover, the Xie family was also considered to be within the sphere of influence of the Shadow Moon Palace. Was there no problem in being so blatantly hostile to that Dragon Cave Mountain？

As if knowing what was on his mind, the warrior surnamed Xie immediately told him that regarding the enmity between the Xie family and the Dragon Cave Mountain, the Shadow Moon Palace would not interfere in the slightest. This news made the red-haired old man overjoyed and increasingly felt that the decision to go to the Xie family was correct. As long as the Shadow Moon Palace did not interfere, with the strength of the Xie family and the cooperation of his own side’s strength, wouldn’t it be simple to destroy a small mountain？

Thinking of this, the complexion of the red-haired old man became ferocious, as if he had already seen the scene where Yang Kai was torn into pieces.

……

Inside the Dragon Cave Mountain, in a relatively large attic, Yang Kai welcomed Wei Guchang and the others in. The host and guests took their seats, and Wu Yi personally brought up a few plates of spiritual fruits and then ordered someone to serve fragrant tea before retreating.

“Brother Yang, please accept a bow from Wei and Xuan’er！”

To Yang Kai’s great surprise, Wei Guchang suddenly stood up again and, together with Dong Xuan’er, sincerely bowed to him with great sincerity.

“What are you doing, Brother Wei？” Yang Kai was extremely astonished and quickly got up to hold the two of them up.

Wei Guchang grinned and said, “In all my years of living, I have never admired anyone. Even Qu Changfeng and Fang Tianzhong are not worthy of making me bow my head. Brother Yang, you are the first and only one.”

After a little thought, Yang Kai understood why he was being so solemn. He waved his hand and said, “Brother Wei, you’re overthinking it. The last time Elder Qian was able to get out of trouble, it had little to do with me. Presumably, you have also heard the process from Elder Qian. I just went for a walk in the Emperor’s Garden with City Lord Fei. If it weren’t for the City Lord Fei and the others triggering the ban, I’m afraid I would also be trapped in there.

“But I know that if it weren’t for Brother Yang, Cai He and Du Sisi would surely have died. If the two of them had fallen in the Emperor’s Garden, the two families would surely bear a grudge against my Shadowmoon Palace. So in any case, Xuan’er and I should thank you.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Kai didn’t bother to argue. The more one talked about this kind of thing, the more hypocritical it seemed. Instead, Dai Yuan, who was listening, looked at Yang Kai in surprise, seemingly not expecting that he had actually entered the Emperor’s Garden.

“Hateful that Xuan’er and I were both consolidating our cultivation at that time and knew nothing about the outside news. If it weren’t for someone casually mentioning it after we left seclusion, we might still be kept in the dark.” A hint of sadness flashed across Wei Guchang’s face. Although he was not Qian Tong’s disciple but had been cultivating beside the Grand Palace Master, over the years, Qian Tong had treated him like his own son. When Qian Tong was in trouble, he didn’t contribute at all Every time he thought about it, he felt extremely self-reproachful.

“The seniors in the Shadowmoon Palace also had your two in mind. You two had just broken through to the Void Returning Stage not long ago and were in the stage of consolidating your cultivation. How could they tell you these things and disrupt your state of mind？ Let’s not talk about this. Brother Wei, did you come here today for any important matter？” Seeing his depressed look, Yang Kai quickly changed the topic.

“There’s no important matter. I just came to deliver an invitation.” Wei Guchang chuckled and gestured to Dong Xuan’er.

The latter understood and took out a golden invitation from her space ring and handed it to Yang Kai.

“Whose invitation is this？ Could it be that Brother Wei and Miss Xuan’er are going to have a happy event？” Yang Kai chuckled and asked with deep meaning.

Dong Xuan’er immediately blushed, spat lightly, and ran to Dai Yuan’s side, a little embarrassed to see people.

Wei Guchang, however, smiled enigmatically and said, “That’s not it. But there will always be a chance. When that day comes, I will definitely not forget to send an invitation to Brother Yang. However, this invitation is not something that just anyone can get.”

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and looked down, extremely surprised. “Jubao Lou？”

“That’s right, it’s Jubao Lou.” Wei Guchang returned to his seat, picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip, and said unhurriedly, “This is an invitation to the auction of Jubao Lou. Does Brother Yang have any interest in participating？”

Yang Kai didn’t answer immediately. Speaking of which, he had participated in an auction of Jubao Lou last time and had gained a lot. He was also somewhat interested in this kind of thing, but it wasn’t something he had to go to. Moreover, with the current chaotic situation, Jubao Lou suddenly wanted to hold an auction, and he didn’t know what their intention was.

“Huh, still in Tianyun City？” Yang Kai was even more surprised. Based on his understanding of Jubao Lou, this force was considered the largest commercial alliance on You’an Star, mainly doing business to earn Saint Crystals. Their auctions were held every few years or a dozen years, but the location was not fixed each time and was held in turn in the cities belonging to various forces.

It had only been a few years since the last auction, and now it was going to be held in Tianyun City again, Youdaoplaceholder0 breaking the previous convention. Because strictly speaking, the next time it would be Tianyun City’s turn should be a hundred years later.

“Naturally, it will be held in Tianyun City. Currently, all kinds of forces have gathered here, and the Emperor’s Garden has emerged out of nowhere. Even if the Jubao Tower didn’t set the auction in Tianyun City, I’m afraid no one would agree.” Wei Guchang chuckled.

Hearing his explanation, Yang Kai understood. Currently, there are countless warriors gathering in Tianyun City, with forces of all sizes. Taking the opportunity to hold an auction is to take full advantage of the timing and location.

Moreover, although the Emperor’s Garden has emerged, it can’t be entered for the time being, but no one can say for sure when it will open. Many warriors have already been making preparations in advance, trying every means to enhance their own strength, just waiting for the Emperor’s Garden to open so that they can rush in and get a share of the pie. In this situation, once the auction is held, there will definitely be a large number of guests.

After all, the last time the Jubao Tower held an auction taking advantage of the opening of the Flowing Flame Sand Land, it reaped huge profits. This time, the Jubao Tower is obviously going to repeat the old trick.
