Chapter 1397
- Between Su Bai and Xing Wuyá, their relationship seemed superficial, yet they were sworn brothers, a fact known to all. Xing Wuyá nodded. “Isn't the Peak of the Snow Mountain just a remote, uncharted star system? If you go, I can accompany you.” “That's fine.” Su Bai briefly outlined to Xing Wuyá the plan Li Jiuxuan had mentioned regarding the Peak of the Snow Mountain. About half an hour later, the Treasure Competition began.The scene suddenly darkened, followed by a burst of brilliant light, revealing the master of the black market before everyone. He was cloaked in a black hooded robe, his face obscured, but the pressure emanating from his body clearly marked him as the ruler of the black market.“Welcome to the Decennial Treasure Auction. I assume most of you are regulars here. As for the rules of the black market, I won't go into detail. If anyone dares to pull any tricks during this event, don't blame me for being ruthless.” After making a few more casual remarks, the master of the black market fixed his gaze on Su Bai's compartment. Su Bai snapped out of his daze and stepped out of the compartment.Inside the auction hall, countless treasures were being auctioned off one after another. Su Bai and the black market boss stood together on the highest point of another pavilion. “The Nine-Leaf Holy Lotus is the last item to be auctioned. I've already sent someone to keep an eye on the person from the peak of the snow-capped mountains. If you have any questions, we can handle it discreetly.”Su Bai shook his head. “This matter seems too coincidental to me. Acting tonight might alert them. Let everything proceed as usual. I will keep an eye on that final treasure.” After speaking, Su Bai separated his true form from the Golden Lotus Buddha body. His true form returned to the compartment to continue watching the auction, while the Golden Lotus Buddha body approached the auction site, keeping a close watch on the Nine-Leaf Holy Lotus.In the darkness, a cold wind swept by, the silence outside the black market contrasting sharply with the bustling auction. “Do you want the Nine-Leaf Holy Lotus?” A black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, muttering to itself. It landed on the highest rooftop of the black market, gazing down at the crowd below with a condescending expression.
- Su Bai's lips curled into a sneer. “Those who cultivate, whether they be demon cultivators or demonic cultivators, all harbor the desire to ascend in an instant. It is an innate greed.”
- With that, Su Bai chose to watch the show.
