Chapter 1319: East Sovereign Immortal Hall, Mountain Ghoul House, The Rulemaker
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The appearance of the Celestial Demon Heart attracted a powerful Celestial Demon qi from one of the VIP rooms.
Chu Kuangren looked at the particular room with a pondering expression.
Bei Ming once told him about the Celestial Demon Tribe, so he knew of their existence.
“I didn’t think I would run into a cultivator from the Celestial Demon Tribe. I wonder what this Celestial Demon Heart has to do with him or them?” Chu Kuangren murmured.
However, he decided to stay put and observe first.
!!
“Who auctioned this Celestial Demon Heart?”
A cold voice sounded from that VIP room. It sounded like the owner of the voice was trying to suppress his boiling rage.
The white-haired elderly glanced at the VIP room. “This involves the client’s privacy, and Myriad Company has the responsibility to keep them confidential. We can’t reveal it to you. Please understand.”
The Celestial Demon cultivator paused for a moment and continued, “One billion Immortal Crystals for the Celestial Demon Heart. It’s mine.”
Since they were at the auction, he decided to retrieve the heart through bidding.
One billion Immortal Crystals was not a small amount.
The Celestial Demon Heart might be precious, but everyone knew it was not an Innate Celestial Demon Physique Heart but a Pseudo one. Although it could also perform wonders, it was not worth one billion, so the others did not bid for it.
“If it’s the Innate Chaos Celestial Demon Physique Heart, people would buy it even if it cost ten billion or one hundred billion,” someone said.
The Chaos Celestial Demon Physique was the best physique there was as it was no weaker than other Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique. The heart of it had many great uses, be it refining into a weapon or pill, or using it to comprehend the Celestial Demon Dao. It could even allow one to master the true might of the Celestial Demon Physique, just like with the pair of Green Leaf Sword Vision back at the Sword Immortal’s Tomb.
However, the Pseudo Celestial Demon Physique Heart had no such value.
“One billion Immortal Crystals? It seems like the Celestial Demon Tribe is quite rich,” someone said coldly.
Several powerful auras exploded from yet another VIP room and enveloped the entire auction hall in the blink of an eye.
Immortal Sparks shone from inside the room, and a vast amount of Daoist patterns with powerful Immortal Technique’s energy fluctuation were blasted toward the Celestial Demon cultivator’s room.
Bang!
The restriction seals were crushed, and the room exploded.
The scene left everyone in shock.
“Who has the nerve to start a fight at the auction?!”
“This isn’t just any auction. This is an auction held on Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet. Are they not afraid of the local enforcers?”
Everyone looked at the room that launched the attack in fear and saw several figures in black armor walk out of the room.
The leader of the group emanated a strange and eerie aura.
“It’s them! The East Sovereign Immortal Hall’s Mountain Ghoul House!”
Those who recognized the cultivators in black armor gasped in fear.
There were two great Immortal Halls in the Immortal World — the Eastern Sovereign and Kunlun.
The Kunlun Immortal Hall had Six Royals and Four Divisions, while the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall had Nine Heavenly God Houses.
The Nine Houses that ruled the Eastern Sovereign Hall consisted of Eastern Sovereign House, Cloudy God House, Eastern Sky House, River God House, and more.
The Mountain Ghoul House was one of the Nine Houses.
“Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall’s Mountain Ghoul House. What are they doing here?”
“Why are they after the Celestial Demon Tribe?”
The crowd was confused.
From the rubbles of the room that was attacked, three figures — two men and a woman — emerged.
Each of them carried vast and boundless Celestial Demon qi.
The lady Celestial Demon cultivator had a tall physique and sky blue hair that complemented her delicate features. Her Celestial Demon qi was a lot stronger than the other men, making her the leader of the trio.
“Mountain Ghouls, you killed Lin Yue and used her Celestial Demon Heart to lure us out.”
The lady, named Lin Qiu, glared at the Mountain Ghoul cultivators with frosty eyes.
“So what? That’s because our Divine Daoist doesn’t like the Celestial Demon Tribe,” the leader of the Mountain Ghoul cultivators sneered.
“Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist! The Celestial Demon Tribe will make sure he pays for his actions one day!”
“You people might be able to scare us if you’re the real Celestial Demon Tribe, but you’re just the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Attack!”
The Mountain Ghoul cultivators unleashed their powerful aura and charged toward their opponent.
Powerful Immortal Technique’s energy fluctuation exploded, sending the whole auction hall into chaos.
All the unrelated cultivators immediately fled the scene.
Fire Boy frowned at the sudden outbreak. “Why is the Mountain Ghoul House here? What a bummer.”
The Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall and Kunlun Immortal Hall were mortal enemies since they both wanted to be the strongest in the Immortal World.
With two Immortal Halls existing in one Immortal World, it was natural that the two forces would fight.
They had been fighting, both secretly and openly, for countless years.
“Who cares. We’ve got the Divine Flame Map already. All this doesn’t matter anymore,” Huang Yuyi said.
She could not care less about the life and death of the Celestial Demon cultivators.
To her, it would be better for the Celestial Demon cultivators to be dead.
It was well known that Chu Kuangren possessed the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique, and since Huang Yuyi hated him, it would be natural for her to hate the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe as well.
Bang!
A series of explosions went off in the void.
The Mountain Ghoul’s energy clashed with the Celestial Demon qi. Together with countless Daoist patterns and shimmering Immortal Sparks, the endless pressure shadowed the realm.
Chu Kuangren watched from afar and had no intention to intervene.
“The Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet’s enforcers should be here anytime soon,” Chu Kuangren murmured as the commotion got louder.
The enforcers of the Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet existed to ensure no one would fight on their territory, so Chu Kuangren did not have to worry about that.
Soon, a middle-aged man in gray robes arrived. His powerful energy presence overwhelmed the scene and suppressed everything in its proximity.
“Who dares to start a fight on Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet?” said the enforcer coldly.
The Mountain Ghoul cultivator showed no intention of stopping the battle. He said aloud, “We’re here on the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist’s order to kill the Celestial Demon cultivators. This is between us, Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, and the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe. Please do not interfere!”
The middle-aged man reacted strangely upon hearing those words.
The Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall was one of the few forces no one would want to make enemies of.
If he decided to intervene, he would definitely be standing against the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall.
In name, he was the enforcer of Heavenly Ancient Merchant Plane, but he was actually just someone elected by the many forces to maintain the stability of the planet.
He might have the name of an enforcer, but deep down, he knew he was just a pawn controlled by the player.
If he offended the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, his cultivating journey would come to an end prematurely, no matter how capable he was.
With that in mind, he conserved his aura and stood aside reluctantly.
The others sighed.
“It’s just fancy saying that the Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet is protected by its enforcer when, in fact, the powerful forces can just ignore the rules here.”
“Well, those forces set the rules. They’re the rulemakers. It’s just another word for them to overthrow what they have set.”
