Chapter 539 - Ch 539: Evil Spirits

Ye Xiao continued to look for Zhao Qing'er. He didn't find Zhao Qing'er but he did find some special treasures.

It was a pity that he could not afford to waste even a single Blood Stone, at the very least, not until he was sure that he could win the bid for Zhao Qing'er.

It has already been more than fifteen minutes. There was no news from Yi Meng.

As Ye Xiao was anxious, his gaze suddenly fell on a girl imprisoned in a glass cube. She was not wearing a veil so everyone could see her beautiful face. This beautiful girl's face was pale and one could also see traces of some wounds on her arm, legs, and neck.

It was clear that this girl had suffered injuries and torture before she was brought here to be sold off.

This beautiful girl was Zhao Qing'er.

"Qing'er!"

Ye Xiao immediately fasten his speed and with just a few steps, he was already standing in front of the cube inside which, Zhao Qing'er was imprisoned.

Zhao Qing'er had her face lowered. She was not looking at anyone, so she didn't see Ye Xiao.

"Qing'er!"

Ye Xiao called her but Zhao Qing'er did not hear him. It was as if Ye Xiao's sound could not reach the ears of Zhao Qing'er.

In front of the glass cube, there was a screen made up of a formation. Some numbers could be seen written on the screen. The numbers were 2,000,000. It also meant that there was already a bid of 2 Million Blood Stones placed for Zhao Qing'er.

Looking at the formation, Ye Xiao immediately understood what kind of formation it was.

If one wanted to raise the bid, they just have to imbue their Spiritual Sense or Divine Sense in the formation and place a higher bid. Only if one wanted to place a higher number of the bid would the number on the screen change. Otherwise, the number on the screen will not change.

Ye Xiao thought of something and secretly, touched a few places with his hands and leg on the formation. At the same time, he used a hundred Blood Stones' blood energy. Immediately, the formation was tempered by Ye Xiao. Now, Ye Xiao could control this formation to increase his bid even if he were to leave the auction house. And if someone else placed their bid, Ye Xiao would immediately know.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao directly increased his bid by 48 Million Blood Stones.

Now, the bid for Zhao Qing'er has already reached 50 Million Blood Stones.

Ye Xiao kept looking at Zhao Qing'er but, for the time being, there was no way to communicate with her. Zhao Qing'er was also not looking at anyone, so she was unaware of Ye Xiao's presence.

Only if touching or knocking the glass cube was allowed, he could let her know that he was here to take her back.

Unfortunately, touching the glass cube was not allowed.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Qing'er for about 10 minutes, hoping to see her raise her head, but to no avail.

The result of the auction's items will only be announced after 24 hours. So, Ye Xiao chose to leave the auction house for some time.

Ye Xiao looked for Yi Meng and informed her that he was leaving. He also told her to keep an eye on Zhao Qing'er and see who was placing bids for her.

Before leaving, he also told Yi Meng to bid for any one item she wanted to buy. He'll pay for that item. This was Ye Xiao's way of thanking her for her help.

After that, Ye Xiao left the auction house.

.....

Five hours later, Ye Xiao followed the directions on a map that he randomly bought after coming out of the auction house and arrived at a place called Ghost Town.

Ye Xiao chose to come here because he had heard from some people that this place was filled with yin spirits and other evil creatures. Ye Xiao chose to come here and see with his own eyes.

"Is there no one in this small town?" Ye Xiao frowned as he arrived here.

The cold wind was howling outside but the town in front of him was dead silent. He could not feel the breath of a living person.

Immediately, Ye Xiao crossed the wall and entered the town. Following the small town's path, he began to walk deeper.

He did not know what had happened to the town. Broken houses were everywhere. Many of the houses were no longer occupied. The door frame and window frames were broken. It was dark inside.

This place should have been abandoned.

Ye Xiao walked for a while and suddenly frowned. He had clearly walked a distance. But in the next moment, he appeared in his original position.

It was still the empty house, Ye Xiao had been here before. The surrounding scenery did not change. It was as if Ye Xiao had fallen into a cycle that could never be walked out.

"Pretending to be mysterious, get the hell out here!" Ye Xiao suddenly turned his gaze to a room beside him. He reached out his hand and a powerful force instantly destroyed the room.

In a cloud of smoke and dust, a black shadow let out a strange scream and pounced towards Ye Xiao.

The black shadow came quickly and arrived in front of Ye Xiao in the blink of an eye.

When the black shadow got closer, Ye Xiao realized that although it looked like a human, its face had been completely destroyed. It opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth.

The most terrifying thing was its's eyes. Those eyes no longer had the whites of their eyes. They were pitch black and the skin around the eyes was covered with bulging veins.

It let out a strange and ear-piercing scream and arrived in front of Ye Xiao in an instant. Its claws suddenly fell.

"So it's just an evil spirit and you dare to attack me!" Ye Xiao brazenly attacked and punched out fiercely.

A tremendous force suddenly applied to the evil spirit's body. The evil spirit was suddenly shattered by a punch.

"So it was you guys who had been causing trouble all this time. All of you, get out here."

Surging demonic energy lingered around Ye Xiao's body.

"Bang! Bang!"

From the quiet houses around them, dozens of phantoms suddenly rushed out.

These Evil Spirits looked at Ye Xiao with a hint of fear in their eyes.

"How can there be so many Evil Spirits here?" Ye Xiao placed his hand on the head of one of the Evil Spirits.

The Evil Spirit was trembling all over. It was a fear that came from the depths of its heart. It didn't dare to attack Ye Xiao at all.

The memories of all the Evil Spirits here were incomplete. Ye Xiao could only see some trivial scenes with the Soul Search.

In the scattered memories of these Evil Spirits, Ye Xiao didn't find anything worth his attention.

Just as all the Evil Spirits were hesitating, a shrill cry suddenly came from the depths of the town. This cry resounded in all directions, echoing throughout the entire town.

Ye Xiao raised his head and immediately saw a towering demonic energy at the end of the town.

This demonic energy was monstrous and it contained a boundless will of death.

The Evil Spirits that were trembling because of Ye Xiao's demonic energy that actually belonged to the World Exterminating Demon Dragon, suddenly turned red and pounced towards Ye Xiao again while roaring.

Countless Evil Spirits in the surroundings were splashing like waves on the calm surface of the water.

The houses that had been closed were knocked open one after another. Horrifying Evil Spirits emerged from the houses and rushed towards Ye Xiao one after another.

Ye Xiao immediately understood that these Evil Spirits were just small fries. The real mastermind was still hiding in the depth of the Town.

"Get lost!"

A monstrous aura burst out from Ye Xiao's body. His majestic aura crushed all the Evil Spirits around him.

At the same time, Ye Xiao's Divine Sense swept across the surroundings.

Almost in instant, Ye Xiao had already found a red robe hidden in a corner of the Town.

It was a red-clothed woman. Her face was as pale as paper and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. At this moment, the red-clothed woman was staring at Ye Xiao with an extremely resentful gaze.

She hid in a hidden corner of the house and only looked from the half-closed doors and windows. It was very hidden.

"Do you think I won't be able to catch you if I hide there? You are thinking too much!"

Ye Xiao muttered when he saw this.. He was about to take action when he felt an extremely threatening aura from the red-clothed woman.
