Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1458 - 612: Deeply Hidden, All Thanks to Acting Skills
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
"So that’s how it is!"
Li Yunjing sneered in his heart, "What a cunning Zhou Dehai! I’m almost impressed!"
Inside the secret chamber of "Wanbao Building" in Celestial Star City.
Zhou Dehai suddenly crushed the tea cup in his hand.
"That little bastard Li Wutian is playing dirty with me!"
For the first time, his fat face showed rage: "The Alliance Hierarch of ’Justice League’ is dead! I’ve confirmed he died at Li Wutian’s hands!"
"That Jade Box..."
Shopkeeper Wang beside him trembled in fear, "Could it..."
"It must have ended up in his hands."
Zhou Dehai’s squinting eyes glinted coldly, "I should have realized Yue Wuya wouldn’t send someone simple."
He slowly stood up, his aura soaring.
The originally bloated body shrank like deflating, turning into a lean middle-aged cultivator in an instant.
The most terrifying thing was the vertical pupil pattern appearing on his forehead identical to the "Seven Fiend Profound Yin Python"!
"Pass down the order."
Zhou Dehai’s voice was ice-cold to the bone, "Activate the ’Closing Net Plan’ ahead of schedule. As for Steward Li..."
He held a blood-colored bead in his palm, "Since he dared touch my thing, let him be the first sacrificial offering on the night of the eclipse!"
Outside the window, a Blood Moon quietly rose into the night sky...
"Seven days later, it will be the night of the eclipse."
Li Yunjing put away the scale and turned to leave, his voice echoing in the dark underground palace, "I’ll bring him to see you, and whether you can deal with Zhou Dehai, that’s up to you."
The blood pool bubbled again, eerie light flashing in the vertical pupil of the "Seven Fiend Profound Yin Python."
From a perspective Li Yunjing couldn’t see, its chained tail was quietly forming the eighth head’s embryo...
Outside "Celestial Star City," in the Nameless Valley.
Li Yunjing sat cross-legged in a secluded cave, his fingertips gently brushing the blood-colored scale, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Zhou Dehai, Nascent Soul Realm Third Heaven!"
"Ha! Hidden deep enough!"
Li Yunjing originally thought Zhou Dehai was just a shrewd merchant, little did he know this man was a traitor of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," had participated in suppressing the "Seven Fiend Profound Yin Python," and even deceived three "Dao Seed Beads" from it!
"No wonder he can afford to hand over the ’Dao Seed Bead’ to ’Celestial Star Pavilion,’ turns out he has more in his possession!"
Li Yunjing sneered once, then closed his eyes to focus, beginning to refine the blood-colored scale.
This scale contains the Origin Demon Power of the "Seven Fiend Profound Yin Python," which can help him stealth his aura and even temporarily borrow the python’s power. If used properly, it can unleash Nascent Soul Realm Seventh Heaven’s strength!
This is a trump card!
That "Seven Fiend Profound Yin Python" clearly hates Zhou Dehai deeply, thus handing such an important treasure to him for use, solely to eliminate this person.
Li Yunjing meditated in Qi Cultivation for a while, knowing two days later, he entered "Celestial Star City."
Today is the grand day for "Celestial Star City!"
The once-in-a-century auction of "Sunken Star Island!"
When Li Yunjing disguised himself, changed his face, and entered the city, he noticed the bizarre atmosphere inside the city.
The streets patrolled by disciples of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" noticeably increased, and numerous Golden Core Cultivators stationed at major passages, seemingly searching for something.
Li Yunjing changed his appearance, not fearing meeting acquaintances.
He knew many cultivation techniques, being a Five Elements Spirit Root Cultivator; as long as it was Five Elements Divine Techniques, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t cultivate.
At this moment, the aura Li Yunjing revealed was that of an Ice Element Spirit Root Cultivator exuding a chilling aura.
This cold, icy face and the previous alias Li Wutian were two completely different people.
No one had the ability to connect Li Yunjing with the previous "Li Wutian."
Li Yunjing mingled with the crowd, gazing towards the distant "Wanbao Building."
"Sure enough, Zhou Dehai has started his defenses."
Feeling the looseness outside and tightness inside "Wanbao Building," he smiled slightly and turned to "Celestial Star Pavilion."
Li Yunjing paid a sum of Spirit Stones and held an ice-blue Jade Token, stepping into the "Celestial Star Pavilion."
Inside the pavilion resplendent, high-tier cultivators congregated, the air thick with the fragrance of spirit medicine and magical treasures.
"Esteemed fellow cultivator, please present your admission token."
A Foundation Establishment Realm maid ceremoniously bowed.
Li Yunjing flicked his fingertips, the Jade Token hovered, emitting faint cold air.
Upon seeing this, the maid’s expression grew more respectful: "Ah, from the ’Profound Ice Valley,’ please follow me."
"Profound Ice Valley" was the identity he currently disguised himself as, an elder from a hidden sect.
In any case, no one here knew him, Li Yunjing deliberately revealed a Golden Core Realm cultivation to conveniently purchase some good things.
The maid led him to a private room on the second floor, the view here excellent, overlooking the entire auction venue.
Li Yunjing scanned the area, quickly spotting the target in the opposite VIP seat, Zhou Dehai!
By now, Zhou Dehai had resumed his plump merchant appearance, laughing and chatting with several Golden Core Cultivators, showing no trace of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
"Hidden so deeply..."
Li Yunjing sneered in his heart.
He didn’t stare, as Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had keen senses, Li Yunjing feared Zhou Dehai would sense someone harboring ill intentions towards him, causing trouble.
At this moment, a white-haired elder of Nascent Soul First Heaven ascended the stage, waving his sleeve, the venue instantly quieting down.
"Esteemed fellow cultivators, today’s auction officially begins!"
This elder hailed from "Celestial Net Dao Sect," specially hired at a high price by "Celestial Star Pavilion" as the host.
Without wasting words, the first auction item was a high-grade Spirit Sword, and the auction commenced immediately.
