Chapter 2296 - 2295: Captured One by One!
The elder didn’t speak again, not because he didn’t want to, but because... he simply didn’t dare!
From the murderous aura emanating from Shen Li, the elder could tell that if he dared to bark again, Shen Li would actually kill him!
Meanwhile, Xiaoo Hailong was completely stunned.
This Dao Sovereign Realm elder was the only Dao Sovereign Realm person by his side.
Which meant that aside from this elder, at this moment, no one present could protect him!
Actually, although Xiaoo Hailong was lecherous, he knew his limits, so he hadn’t offended many people.
Additionally, his father was the Deputy Sect Master of the Immortal Sword Sect, a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse, which meant even the Three Teachings had to show him some respect.
Dispatching a Dao Sovereign Realm elder for protection was indeed more than sufficient.
But who could have expected the Phoenix Sect to show up!
It wasn’t just their appearance; even those spies hidden around the Phoenix Sect hadn’t discovered it!
And even if they hadn’t discovered it, within the Phoenix Sect...
Such a terrifying powerhouse had appeared!!!
Even a Third-Grade Dao Venerable Super Powerhouse was casually crushed and oppressed; this was something only a Sixth or even Seventh Grade Dao Venerable Realm could accomplish!
"You all..."
Xiaoo Hailong wanted to make a move, but someone from the Phoenix Sect seized him and brought him before Shen Li.
"What exactly are you trying to do!!!"
Xiaoo Hailong roared: "Our Immortal Sword Sect has no grievances or enmity with your Phoenix Sect. Why are you capturing me?"
"No grievances or enmity?"
Shen Li glanced at Xiaoo Hailong: "Seems you’ve forgotten how you insulted the Sect Master’s Wife?"
"Hmm?"
Xiaoo Hailong’s face changed.
He had truly forgotten!
He had flirted with too many women; how could he possibly remember each one?
Moreover, to Xiaoo Hailong, this wasn’t significant, so he didn’t keep it in mind.
Unexpectedly, the Phoenix Sect would actually stand up for this matter.
"I merely said a few words casually, didn’t do anything to her, do you really need to do this?" Xiaoo Hailong shouted.
"The Sect Master’s Wife is of supreme status, one of the souls of the Phoenix Sect, her identity extremely distinguished. Is she someone a scoundrel like you can insult at will?"
Shen Li didn’t say another word, directly slapped Xiaoo Hailong’s face.
"You’re fortunate you didn’t do anything to her; if you had, even your Immortal Sword Sect would have suffered!"
With these words, Shen Li waved his hand, and the Phoenix Sect members immediately took Xiaoo Hailong and retreated.
Shen Li then tossed the elder’s Primordial Spirit into a Storage Ring.
Before leaving, his figure paused momentarily and glanced at the others.
"My apologies for shocking you all."
Shen Li smiled lightly: "No matter, the auction can go on."
After saying this, his figure appeared illusory once more, eventually vanishing completely.
The entire auction hall was quiet, silent as if no sound existed!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, incredulous, at the place where Shen Li left, their hearts pounding, extremely tense.
The Phoenix Sect people came quickly and left just as quickly.
The whole process didn’t exceed three minutes.
Just three minutes before, they were mocking and ridiculing, even thinking of detaining the Phoenix Sect members.
Yet in those three minutes, the Phoenix Sect annihilated the physical body of a Third-Grade Dao Venerable Super Powerhouse, killed over a hundred people, and even took Xiaoo Hailong away right under their noses!
"This..."
After a long while, someone tried to speak but didn’t know what to say.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
One by one, figures dispersed.
What they needed to do, naturally, was to hurry back to their sects to report.
As for the auction?
Continue it? Not a chance!
...
As Shen Li and others stormed into the Jade Void City auction, another place—
Demon Spirit Mountain.
Though called the Demon Spirit Mountain, it was actually a forest planted in the last ten years.
However, cultivators wield great means; by gathering nature’s spiritual energy, they can naturally accelerate the forest’s growth.
This forest was created by the people of the Giant Spirit Sect.
Specifically, it was created by Huang Amber, son of the Giant Spirit Sect Master.
The purpose of this creation... was to win the favor of a woman.
This woman, named Yuh Xiuling, belonged to the Palace of the Holy Maiden and was merely a regular disciple, not an Immortal Fairy or similar.
Nevertheless, her alluring appearance and seductive demeanor had Huang Amber’s Divine Soul in disarray, unable to obtain her, yet she wielded some means.
Before the outbreak of the Extraterritorial Demon, Yuh Xiuling most loved entering the forest to hunt Demon Beasts.
Therefore, numerous males from other sects had invited her to go hunting.
After hearing this, Huang Amber created this forest.
In creating this forest, he also let loose many Spirit Beasts previously raised by the Giant Spirit Sect, inside the forest, obstructed by a Light Barrier.
All of it was just to win Yuh Xiuling’s favor.
Many within the Giant Spirit Sect disapproved, but given that Huang Amber was the son of the Sect Master, who doted on this child excessively, though displeased, they dared not show it.
Today, Huang Amber’s goal was finally achieved; Yuh Xiuling was not only invited but also let him hold her hand for the first time!
For Huang Amber, this was an extremely exciting development.
He was even imagining how after hunting, he could make love to Yuh Xiuling on the bed.
With Yuh Xiuling’s enchanting demeanor, her skills in bed should be quite potent, right?
...
"Young Master Huang, catch this!"
A soft voice came from within the forest.
Huang Amber, riding on a Phantom Spirit Horse, waved his hand to catch a wild rabbit tossed from afar.
An arrow had pierced through the rabbit’s body, killing it instantly.
"Haha, Lady Xiuling is truly amazing, capturing over thirty rabbits in just a few minutes!" Huang Amber laughed loudly.
"Young Master Huang keeps saying, yet it’s driving me mad!"
As the voice fell, a woman approached from afar.
She was also riding a Phantom Spirit Horse, dressed in purple, her long hair blowing in the wind, her fair skin, beautiful face, and seductive demeanor causing Huang Amber’s heart to race.
"If only I could ride her under me, that would truly be a blessing!" Huang Amber swallowed hard.
Despite his thoughts, he outwardly maintained an elegant demeanor.
"Lady Xiuling, your words are incorrect; your style of hunting without using cultivation base is extremely remarkable; even I cannot compare to you."
As Huang Amber spoke, he rode his Phantom Spirit Horse forward and grabbed Yuh Xiuling’s fair jade hand.
