Chapter 228 - Auction (6)

Ordinary people only saw the other party’s sloppy appearance, but Wang Yi saw through everything.

He was a Connate-Realm expert!

To be honest, Wang Yi did not expect this. After all, this was just an ordinary auction. Even if there was something special about it, it was just that the Green Jade Rock Marrow was a little precious.

How did he attract so many physical body experts and even alarm the creatures in the Connate Realm?

Although there was no evidence to prove that those people were related to this Connate expert, Wang Yi had this intuition that they were definitely on the same side.

At the same time, the moment Lord Wu Qing appeared on the auction stage, something strange happened in Cang City.

The physical experts at those special nodes emitted wisps of red light and directly activated the scarlet crystal in front of them with a secret technique.

Red pillars of light soared into the sky and connected to each other according to a special array, turning into a huge red net that enveloped the entire Cang City.

However, these scarlet pillars of light seemed to be between reality and illusion. Although they were dazzling, they were invisible to those below the Connate Realm, who could not sense it with their spiritual power.

At this moment, if a Connate-Realm lifeform were to look down from the sky, they would discover that although the Cang City was right in front of them, it was as illusory as the moon in a mirror.

It was as if Cang City no longer existed in this world and all they saw was the shadow left behind by Cang City.

Wang Yi naturally noticed the abnormality as well. His gaze pierced through the layers of obstructions and looked up at the sky.

Meanwhile, Lord Wu Qing had a teasing smile on his lips as he stood on the auction stage in the middle.

As if sizing up his prey in a cage, he swept his gaze across the human experts below as he said indifferently, “Welcome to the auction!”

“However, before the auction begins, I need to borrow something from everyone.”

Upon hearing this voice, everyone’s gaze was attracted to the auction stage. When they saw Lord Wu Qing’s sloppy appearance, the crowd below the stage immediately burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Look at his sloppy appearance. How did he have the courage to stand up?”

“And you still want to borrow from us? What for? Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten and want to borrow money to fill your stomach?”

…

Some even stood up and pointed at Lord Wu Qing on the stage.

They presumptuously mocked him, “Is there no one left in the Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce? Or is that Fu Anzhi deliberately disgusting us? He actually sent a beggar to host the auction!”

Lord Wu Qing’s expression was calm as if he was not affected by the crowd’s words.

However, his rapidly contracting pupils betrayed him. His mood was definitely not as casual and calm as he appeared.

Ignoring the ridicule and curses of the crowd, Lord Wu Qing continued speaking indifferently.

“I don’t need money. I just need to borrow your lives. What do you think?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Wu Qing took a step forward before anyone could react. Then, a terrifying pressure spread out from his body and suppressed everyone present.

The void was suppressed to the point of exploding. Electric arcs flashed across the venue as if doomsday was about to arrive.

Everyone present, from ordinary Battle Soldier-Rank martial artists to Rank-9 grandmasters, and even the Peak-Realm experts, seemed to have been immobilized by this terrifying pressure to the point that they simply could not raise their heads.

Everyone revealed expressions of shock and despair. They felt as if they were in a small boat in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any moment. Their lives were completely out of their control and they could die at any moment.

However, the terror of this pressure had already exceeded the limit of what the world could understand. Under such pressure, they could not even open their mouths.

All he could do was stare at the sloppy, but god-like figure on the auction stage with terrified eyes.

Of course, this pressure could only affect others. It did not affect Wang Yi and the others, who were in the private room on the second floor, at all.

However, this scene frightened Jia Xi. After all, with his status, he would not be able to come into contact with experts of this level, let alone deal with such a terrifying change.

As for Su Shiya and Hua Changyan, although they looked surprised, they were not afraid.

With a Venerable expert like Wang Yi around, they did not have to worry about encountering any danger.

Wang Yi did not care much about this. Although this sloppy and burly man was a Connate-Realm expert, he was at most at Level-1 or Level-2. He could not even compare to Elder Golden Horn who had been killed by him.

The only difference between the two was that Elder Golden Horn was good at the Dao of the spirit. The end of his path should be to attain the eternal immortality of his soul.

As for this sloppy Connate lifeform, he was good at the Dao of the physical body. The end of his path should be to attain the immortality of his body.

It was not that Wang Yi looked down on the other party. No matter what path he took or what kind of power he mastered, with his realm and strength, Wang Yi could deal with him as if he was an ordinary person.

However, it wouldn’t be much if Wang Yi were to face him. It would probably take only one or two moves. Of course, the other party was the one who would be dealt with.

This was based on the fact that he wanted to keep the other party alive and capture him alive. Otherwise, it would only take one strike. Moreover, there was no need to combine three strikes into one to gather his peak strength.

After all, Wang Yi had cultivated several divine techniques and his cultivation level was terrifyingly high. His combat strength was no longer comparable to before. It was much, much higher than before.

It was probably not difficult to kill and suppress a Physical Realm expert. As for fighting a Connate Level-1 or Level-2 expert, it was really no different from a grandfather beating his grandson.

Meanwhile, Lord Wu Qing did not choose to attack immediately. Instead, he looked at the audience with interest, as if he enjoyed the despair and fear displayed by everyone.

As time passed, Lord Wu Qing seemed to have lost interest in continuing to admire the audience.

However, it should still be useful to keep everyone alive. Lord Wu Qing did not carry out the so-called live sacrifice. Instead, his figure instantly soared into the sky. After smashing through layers of buildings, he directly soared into the sky.

He stood above the Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce and flew in the sky. The strong wind made his tattered robe flutter.

Lord Wu Qing stood in the air with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the entire Cang City and said coldly, “Jinlun Guoshi, get out here!”

His voice rumbled like thunder and instantly resounded throughout Cang City.

It was not that Lord Wu Qing had nothing better to do to the point that he had to provoke experts of the same level to increase the difficulty.

His thoughts and plan were actually very simple. He wanted to take advantage of the altar being activated and use the power of the altar to directly deal with the strongest person in Cang City.
