Chapter 1832

"Where, I have only just advanced to Body Integration, and both my magic power and experience are insufficient; I still need Vice City Lord Peng to give me some guidance," Han Li naturally also had a humble appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Han advancing from Spirit Severing to Body Integration within a few hundred years, how many people among the fellow Daoists of the human and demon races don't know this now? With fellow Daoist's aptitude, it is very possible to go further in the future, which is not something that old people like us can compare to," Peng Jue said with a smile.

"Brother Peng is joking. But I wonder who this fairy is..." Han Li laughed and shifted his gaze to the woman in the black dress on the side.

This woman's magic power was pure and thick to the extreme; she was actually a Body Integration late-stage Saint-stage cultivator, which made Han Li feel a great sense of alarm, and he couldn't help but secretly guess the other party's true identity.

As for the woman in the purple shirt, she was unintentionally ignored by him.

"I am Xiao Guan of this palace; I wonder if fellow Daoist Han has ever heard of me," the woman in the black dress said with a slight smile, staring at Han Li with great interest.

"Black Phoenix King!" Although he had some guesses in his heart, when he truly heard the other party say it frankly, Han Li's expression still changed.

"It seems fellow Daoist Han is not unfamiliar with me. Speaking of which, my junior named Xiao Hong had quite a bit of entanglement with you back then," the woman in the black dress chuckled.

"The matter from back then..." Han Li frowned and wanted to say something, but the woman waved her hand and said indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist Han, don't misunderstand. Back then, that girl Xiao Hong didn't know her limits and actually dared to plot against the Ye family's Heavenly Phoenix True Blood, so I have already punished her to face the wall for a thousand years in the Black Phoenix Palace's Flame Domain. My words just now were just to thank fellow Daoist Han for taking action back then, which did not cause our Black Phoenix race and the Ye family to become enemies. Fellow Daoist doesn't know, but that Supreme Great Elder of the Ye family and I are old friends for many years; if we truly became estranged because of this, it is definitely not something I would like to see."

Han Li was naturally a bit surprised to hear this; although he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false, he replied with a relaxed smile:

"Since fellow Daoist Xiao has said so, I don't need to say anything more."

Peng Jue on the side naturally didn't know about the grievances between Han and the Black Phoenix race, but now seeing the two of them easily resolve the entanglement, he showed a hint of relief and said to the two of them, cupping his hands:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, fellow Daoist Han, the auction assembly is about to begin. The two fellow Daoists should go in first. I still have to wait here for other fellow Daoists who are late!"

"Good, I should indeed go in. Dai'er, let's go," the woman in the black dress nodded, greeted the woman in the purple shirt behind her, and walked into the door gracefully, led by a maid.

"Dai'er!"

Han Li couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the woman's address, and then looked at the woman in the purple shirt with a strange gaze.

But this woman lowered her head slightly at some point, and without looking at Han Li again, followed the woman in the black dress and drifted away, never having spoken a word to Han Li from beginning to end.

Han Li, who originally had some suspicions in his heart, felt his expression become somewhat uncertain after the woman in the purple shirt disappeared inside the door.

Could this Dai'er be the young girl who was taken away from his side by Xiao Hong back then?

That Dai'er back then was a mixed-blood of the human and demon races, and her background seemed to have a great origin. Otherwise, Xiao Hong, a Spirit Severing stage Black Phoenix demon cultivator, wouldn't have specifically sneaked into the depths of the human race to take her away.

If so, it wouldn't be strange at all for the woman in the purple shirt, who was truly the young girl from back then, to appear beside the woman who was the Black Phoenix King.

But in just a few hundred years, to become a Spirit Severing early-stage existence from a mortal with no power to truss a chicken, this seemed somewhat impossible.

Even if the Black Phoenix race valued Dai'er extremely highly, and the Black Phoenix bloodline was mysterious and incomparable, this speed of advancement was too shocking. It was not inferior at all to his speed of advancing from Spirit Severing to Body Integration in a few hundred years.

He also remembered the appearance of that little girl Dai'er clearly.

Even though there were some changes due to age, he still couldn't see any similarities between the woman in the purple shirt and the young girl from back then.

And if it were truly Dai'er from back then, his own appearance hadn't changed at all; why hadn't she greeted him?

That little girl back then was quite attached to him.

Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly, and he felt even more confused in his heart.

And Peng Jue, seeing Han Li standing in place with such a strange expression, was also somewhat surprised, but didn't urge him, just looked at Han Li with a smile without speaking.

"Brother Peng, is that fellow Daoist named Dai'er also a member of the Black Phoenix race? Do you know what her relationship is with fellow Daoist Xiao?" Han Li finally asked a question.

"Hehe, I thought Brother Han hadn't noticed this woman. As far as I know, this Dai'er is a direct descendant of fellow Daoist Xiao and is quite famous among the younger generation of the demon race. It is said that not only is her cultivation aptitude astonishingly unusual, but her true appearance is peerless, and she is known as 'Phoenix Spirit Fairy' to the outside world. I don't know how many young talents of the demon race are infatuated with her, pursuing her bitterly but unable to succeed," Peng Jue replied with a smile.

"True appearance?" Han Li's gaze flashed when he heard this.

"No wonder fellow Daoist Han doesn't know! Her current appearance is hidden and disguised by fellow Daoist Xiao using a true feather of her life. Unless the true feather is taken away, even with the greatest divine abilities, one cannot see through this woman's true appearance. According to the Black Phoenix fellow Daoist, this is to reduce her troubles at the Ten Thousand Treasures Assembly and save her from being entangled by some people. Why, is fellow Daoist Han also interested in this Phoenix Spirit Fairy? Speaking of which, although fellow Daoist Han has advanced to Body Integration, your age is not too great; if you want to take this woman, it doesn't seem entirely impossible. I heard that this girl is not a pure Black Phoenix race member, but a mixed-blood of the human and demon races," Peng Jue said with a smile, in a joking manner.

Even though this Vice City Lord Peng said so, he clearly wouldn't take this seriously.

"Brother Peng is joking. I just saw that this woman has a unique temperament and is not an ordinary person, so I asked. Hehe, it's getting late, I will go in first," Han Li curled his lips, and replied with a smile on his face as well.

"I still have to wait for other fellow Daoists, so I won't see you off," Peng Jue didn't think much and said, cupping his hands.

At this time, naturally, another maid walked up and led Han Li's group of three into the door.

And the moment Han Li turned around, a hint of contemplation appeared on his face.

After the group passed through a long corridor made of white jade, they appeared inside a giant hall divided into several floors.

In the circular hall, which was thousands of feet wide, there was a white jade high platform more than ten feet high.

The platform was empty, but at the four corners of the platform, there was a cluster of spiritual light flickering, and inside, there were faintly three-foot-long silver flying swords floating in the air.

And under the platform, eight golden-armored warriors holding spears stood all around, each covering their faces with silver masks, their bodies covered in rolling black evil energy, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Han Li looked at the four flying swords and the eight golden-armored warriors, blue light flashed in his eyes, and his expression moved slightly.

Not to mention the four flying swords, they were all Spirit Treasure-grade treasures, and there was a faint connection between them, clearly a set of treasures.

A single flying sword was already a Spirit Treasure-grade treasure; one could imagine the power of the four combined.

As for the eight golden-armored warriors, although no magic power fluctuations could be felt from them, both the golden armor on their bodies and the black evil energy wrapped around them fully explained their terror.

Han Li secretly pondered in his heart, but he had already followed a maid to the highest floor of the great hall, which was also a room with an exceptionally unique layout on the third floor.

Although the room was not large, only seven or eight feet in size, it was fully equipped with tables and chairs, and even in the four corners, there was a pot of blooming spiritual flowers.

And facing the high platform, a square window was opened there.

Faint white mist appeared in the window, but everything outside the window could be seen clearly, without any obstruction.

"Senior! Are you satisfied with this VIP room? If you don't like this room, this junior can make the decision to change it for you," the maid who led the way asked respectfully at this moment.

"No need, this one is fine," Han Li swept a glance and said without changing his expression.

"Then this junior will take my leave first. If Senior Han has any orders, feel free to summon me; this junior will wait at the door," the maid said with her head lowered.

Han Li nodded when he heard this, and then waved his hand without speaking again.

The maid naturally left the room sensibly and gently closed the door.

And Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi looked around the room curiously, and finally, their gazes fell on the window.

Han Li stepped forward calmly and sat down on a chair in front of the window.

In front of the chair, there was also an emerald green wooden table, with a magic disk for bidding placed on the surface.

Han Li only swept a glance twice, then moved it away expressionlessly, and then looked out the window.

At this time, most of the situation below could be seen from the window; tens of thousands of people from both the human and demon races had already occupied seven or eight out of ten seats on the first and second floors.

Most were existences above the Spirit Severing and Void Refinement stages.

As for those old monsters of the Body Integration stage like Han Li, they were naturally all in individual rooms on the third floor.

Han Li swept his gaze and, seeing that there was nothing to see now, immediately closed his eyes to rest and build up his energy.

Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi naturally stood honestly behind him with their hands tied.

I don't know how much time passed, but the many noisy sounds coming from below suddenly stopped, and the entire giant hall instantly became silent.

Han Li's expression moved, he reopened his eyes, and looked toward the high platform below through the window.

I saw that at this moment, two people with very strange appearances were standing side by side on the platform.

One person was two feet tall, with black light flowing on his body, faintly a big man with a full beard, but his true appearance could never be seen clearly.

The other person's body was a head taller than the bearded big man, but he had a crimson strange horn on his head, his eyes were emerald green and strange, and there were faint crystal scales flickering on both sides of his cheeks; he was a transformed demon race person.

Han Li saw the appearance of the two clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

And at this time, the big man in the black light on the platform suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoists present, I think most of you should know this Emperor and fellow Daoist Lihuo on the side, so this Overlord Emperor won't introduce much more. Now this Emperor announces that the first auction of this Ten Thousand Treasures Assembly begins now."
