Chapter 71 - The Target of All Parties!

At this moment, the entire auction house was in shock! They didn’t expect the black-robed man in charge of the auction to say such a thing at last!

Venerable Xunling did not hide anything at all. He directly made that important announcement during the auction!

Everyone present was speechless after hearing this!

How could someone comprehend the perfection of sword intent at the early-stage foundation establishment?

More so for him to break through from the early-stage foundation establishment to the golden core in just a year!

The face of the man from the Myriad Flower School who was with a fan turned pale. He suddenly recalled someone who had reached the great perfection of the late-stage foundation establishment within five years. He had single-handedly beaten up the people of the other four sects. He was absolutely a demon king!

He looked in the direction of the private room where Su Lingyun’s voice came from in disbelief!

If he remembered correctly, it was Su Lingyun who had successfully bidden for the Fire Dragon Sword. However, Venerable Xunling had said that the owner of this sword was only at the early-stage foundation establishment!

“Could it be that Spirit Valley is planning to produce a monster that is even more demonic than Su Lingyun?” The man with the fan recalled the fear of being dominated by Su Lingyun and couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

“No matter who it is, Su Lingyun must not get this spiritual sword!” The brawny man carrying the huge pillar said in a deep voice. His face was ashen. He had thought that Su Lingyun had died of deviation after remaining silent for five years of seclusion.

He had not expected to see Su Lingyun again today. What was even more terrifying was that he also found out another genius more terrifying than Su Lingyun would appear in Spirit Valley!

The chief disciples of the four sects were secretly communicating with each other. At this time, they only had one goal, which was to find the prodigy of Spirit Valley. If they couldn’t subdue him, they would kill him!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been deficient, to begin with. For the five sects to have such a condescending status that they were now above all other forces, they were naturally not soft-hearted people!

They all looked in the direction of the private room where Zhou Yun was!

“Oh no, we’ve been targeted!” Su Lingyun furrowed her brows. She didn’t expect Venerable Xunling to use this trick in the end!

She looked at Zhou Yun and felt even more shocked by him!

Su Lingyun knew that Zhou Yun had only been in Spirit Valley for less than a year. Not long ago, he was only a Qi cultivation disciple of the first layer of Qi cultivation.

If what Venerable Xunling said was true, Zhou Yun might have just stepped into only the immortal cultivation and he only needed a year to reach the golden core!

Back then, Su Lingyun was regarded as the prodigy of the five sects. However, it took her five years to reach the great perfection of the late-stage foundation establishment. Now, she was stuck at the great perfection of late-stage foundation establishment and had a higher cultivation level than the chief disciples of the other four sects!

Zhou Yun could overtake all of them within a year!

Su Lingyun’s eyes began to burn with fervor as she stared at Zhou Yun. Spirit Valley had picked up a treasure!

Zhou Yun’s hair stood on end under Su Lingyun’s gaze!

He could feel that apart from Su Lingyun’s eyes, countless eyes were staring at him in the entire auction venue!

Among them, a few gazes were the sharpest, and as if they could penetrate through the private room and directly pierce through his skin!

Besides these few gazes, almost everyone in the auction house looked in his direction.

Some of these gazes were gentle, while others carried a hint of aggression.

Zhou Yun could feel that most of the gazes were filled with hostility!

“After attaining the perfection of the Fire Sword Intent, I seem to be able to sense more things now.” Sensing everything around him, Zhou Yun felt that the sword intent was very special.

“It’s different from Divine Sense that has to be personally released. It also enables very clear sensing. The sword intent seemed to be able to sense the enmity in the air and the gazes of others. Although I can’t really tell who it is, it can give me a warning!” Zhou Yun felt that if he were to fight an enemy, he would be able to defeat him. He could even predict his opponent’s next attack with the support of the perfection of Fire Sword Intent!

He could take quick steps and use a compact and fierce attack to defeat the enemy!

In fact, he no longer had to worry if there would be a sneak attack or if the other party had left behind any tricks! The Fire Sword Intent could directly remind him!

“Perhaps this is the sixth sense of an expert?” Zhou Yun smiled. He had improved in all aspects even before he obtained the Fire Dragon Sword. He was now looking forward to how powerful he would be when he obtained the Fire Dragon Sword!

“Senior Sister Su, what should we do next?” Zhou Yun calmed his state of mind affected by the powerful Fire Sword Intent and looked at Su Lingyun.

Zhou Yun did not expect Venerable Xunling to have revealed his cultivation level in the end.

Now, he had become a target for everyone!

Regardless of his innate talent of being able to comprehend perfection of sword intent in the early-stage foundation establishment, the terrifying prediction of him breaking through to golden core in a year by Venerable Xunling. Venerable Xunling personally seeing him a year later, or the top-notch spiritual treasure…

Simply any one of these four items was enough to make the cultivators present go crazy!

Even the forces behind them or the other four sects would attack because of these four reasons!

Therefore, Zhou Yun could only look at Su Lingyun, Spirit Valley’s chief disciple who looked weak but was probably hiding her true strength!

“What else can we do? We’ll leave after we get the thing. We’ll take Cloud Boat back to Spirit Valley before the forces behind these guys react.” Su Lingyun spread her hands.

Fortunately, although the Treasure Pavilion was located among the five sects, it was closer to Spirit Valley.

Instead of waiting for the elders of Spirit Valley to come to rescue them, they might be intercepted by the elders of the other four sects if they were held up in the Treasure Pavilion.

It would be better to take the Cloud Boat and return to Spirit Valley.

Su Lingyun was confident that even though she had been silent for five years, she would not be weaker than the chief disciples of the other four sects!

Moreover, Su Lingyun still had one more thing to deal with. She had to get out of the Treasure Pavilion no matter what!

“Are we going out directly?” Zhou Yun frowned. He had actually wanted to wait for help in the Treasure Pavilion.

There were rules and regulations in the Treasure Pavilion that forbade any disputes or fights. Otherwise, the golden core grand cultivators of the Treasure Pavilion would attack.

Zhou Yun was not afraid of death and wanted to stay in the Treasure Pavilion to wait for the rescue.

He was worried about Qiao’er and Su Wanyi.

Now that he had comprehended the perfection of the Fire Sword Intent, he was even more prepared to possess the top-notch spiritual treasure, the Fire Dragon Sword!

He also had a top-notch defensive spiritual treasure!

He already had the strength to fight against the late-stage foundation establishment cultivators!

However, Qiao’er and Su Wanyi could not keep up with the battle. He was afraid that the two of them might be injured!

“Senior Sister Su, can…” Zhou Yun was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Su Lingyun.

“Sure. After all, the Fire Dragon Sword is in your hands. They will be protected even if they stay in the Treasure Pavilion,” Su Lingyun said.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was opened and a black-robed man carried the coveted Fire Dragon Sword by everyone in!
