Chapter 2342: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2324: Unexpected News

Zhu Guo'er stepped forward and nodded in agreement. The twelve young women also stood up obediently and followed behind Zhu Guo'er.

"Besides these twelve Fragrant Girls, our alliance has also prepared a few other small gifts, hoping that Senior will also accept them together." The woman in purple saw Han Li accept the Fragrant Girls, and a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes again.

She then clapped her hands, and three more handsome alien youths walked in from outside the hall, each holding a pale silver round plate covered with an unknown red silk cloth.

"Your alliance is too polite. These Fragrant Girls are already a generous gift; how can I accept other gifts?" This time, after Han Li swept his gaze over the three round plates and saw through what was covered, he waved his hand and refused directly.

"Since Senior Han doesn't look favorably upon these gifts, I naturally won't force it. Senior has come from afar and must be a bit tired. I will take you all to your accommodation to rest for a night before discussing other matters." The woman in purple was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted and waved her hand, letting the three alien youths retreat.

"Han does indeed want to rest for a while. Please lead the way, Fellow Daoist." Han Li nodded with an unchanging expression.

Thus, for the rest of the time, the woman in purple did not hesitate and walked out of the hall door, with the others following closely behind at a leisurely pace.

As a result, as soon as they walked out of the hall door, everyone immediately felt a bit of noise rushing toward them.

Han Li's gaze flickered slightly, and he discovered that they were standing beside a small bluestone street. Although the street could not be called bustling, there were people coming and going, and it was quite lively.

These people were dressed in various ways, and there were even shops hanging various signs on both sides of the street. Many people were entering and exiting, some with joyful expressions, some with gloomy faces, and all kinds of expressions.

What caught Han Li's attention was that these passersby all had extraordinary auras and were not weak in cultivation. Even the shop assistants standing by the shops had cultivation levels above the Golden Core stage.

And after Han Li swept his spiritual sense further away, he discovered that this was not just this street. There were other streets and dense buildings in the east, west, north, and south directions, but they were not too big, only about a hundred li in radius. It was actually an existence similar to a small town.

As for the hall behind them, as soon as they walked out of the door, the entire exit disappeared in a flash, as if the group had appeared on the street out of thin air.

The passersby nearby turned a blind eye to this situation, as if they saw it often.

"Are these people all invited by your alliance to participate in the auction?" Han Li asked faintly after withdrawing his spiritual sense.

"How is that possible? Most of the VIPs participating in the auction are resting in the Guest Building. Most of the people here are internal members of our alliance, but they are taking this opportunity to buy and sell some items that are usually hard to see. Even for members of our alliance, ordinary existences are not qualified to participate in the auction." The woman in purple smiled sweetly and replied.

"So that's how it is." Han Li didn't say much more.

At this time, the woman in purple pinched a magic art with one hand, and a roll of multicolored light appeared beneath her feet. Immediately, a white mist was born out of thin air, lifting Han Li and the others up, and then they flew away toward one end of the street.

"... That is the designated venue for this auction. At that time, some seniors and other invited fellow Daoists will gather here. Besides some rare treasures that have long been disclosed, there will also be several other strange treasures that are extremely useful to Mahayana seniors, which will definitely not disappoint you Seniors." The woman in purple introduced while driving the clouds to fly at high altitude, pointing to a tower-shaped building surrounded by several streets.

"Is this the auction venue? It doesn't look very big from the outside; it wouldn't be that there is another world inside, right?" Han Li looked at the tower for a few times and said this.

"Senior's eyes are like torches; you really saw it. This tower is indeed directly connected to a certain cave heaven. Inside is actually just the entrance to the real auction venue. In this way, it can accommodate more fellow Daoists, and it is also not afraid of anyone harboring evil intentions toward this auction." A hint of strangeness flashed across the woman in purple's face, and she replied respectfully.

"It seems your alliance has really put a lot of effort into this auction. But I wonder how many Mahayana fellow Daoists will come this time?" Han Li asked another question.

"Answering Senior Han, because there is still a month before the auction officially begins, the final number of Mahayana seniors cannot be accurately known. However, more than twenty have already arrived, and the number of Mahayana participating in the auction has already exceeded previous sessions."

There was nothing to hide about these things. The woman in purple thought for a moment and replied casually.

"More than twenty... your alliance's face is really not small to be able to gather so many fellow Daoists of the same rank in such a short time." Han Li's expression flickered slightly, and he praised.

"Senior is joking. The reason why so many seniors are giving face is not because of the size of our alliance's face, but because of our alliance's reputation over the years. Many seniors have been able to gain something more or less at the auction in the past, which is why they have gathered here regardless of the distance." The woman in purple replied with a light smile.

"Hehe, listening to your tone, your alliance is really confident about this auction. However, I heard that in previous auctions, there would be cross-continent teleportation quotas. I wonder if this will be provided for bidding this time?" Han Li asked about the thing he cared about most without changing his expression.

"Cross-continent teleportation quotas are one of the special auction items of the auction, so that some fellow Daoists and seniors can successfully reach other continents. Naturally, it will not be easily canceled. But for this auction, the super teleportation array received by the Thunderous Continent side has had some problems, so the teleportation quota to the Thunderous Continent has been temporarily canceled, and some teleportation quotas to the Blood Heaven Continent have been added to the auction." The woman in purple felt a bit strange when she heard this, but replied truthfully.

"The quota for the Thunderous Continent has been canceled?" Han Li's expression changed slightly.

"That's right. Could it be that Senior originally wanted to go to the Thunderous Continent?" The woman in purple felt a move in her heart.

"That's not necessarily the case. The Blood Heaven Continent is fine; I planned to go there sooner or later anyway, it's just a bit different from the original plan." Han Li touched his chin and soon returned to his normal expression.

Zhu Guo'er, Xue Po, and the others behind him were also startled when they heard this, but their expressions were different.

A moment later, the clouds had already carried the group to the edge of the small town, and finally landed in a lush green dense forest.

This dense forest was filled with extremely pure spiritual energy, and only a few exquisitely carved pavilions and terraces were built inside.

Each group of buildings was separated by several li, and they were all naturally separated by dense giant trees, appearing extremely quiet and elegant.

The woman in purple led Han Li and the others directly to a building. Without her greeting, seven or eight servants dressed as maids and servants walked out immediately and knelt down to Han Li and the others.

"This is the Heaven-grade VIP building area. They are the servants here. During this period, if you feel you can use them, you can keep them to serve you. If you feel they are in the way, you can dismiss them immediately and let them leave." The woman in purple didn't even look at these maids and servants and said to Han Li with a smile.

"With the Fragrant Girls you just gifted, I really don't need these servants. Let them leave." Han Li said noncommittally.

The woman in purple naturally had no reason not to obey and immediately gave an order to those servants.

These maids and servants bowed and left the area respectfully.

"Senior Han, please rest here. When the auction is about to begin, I will send someone to notify you. By the way, if other fellow Daoists have free time, they can go to the town for a walk. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. I will take my leave first." The woman in purple also said goodbye tactfully.

"Fairy, go well. Han will not see you off." Han Li had no intention of keeping her, just said it lightly, and watched her take off again and fly away from the dense forest quickly. "Let's go. Since the other party has set up such a big battle, we don't need to be too polite." After Han Li said this, he walked toward a pavilion with a calm expression.

Xue Po and the others followed closely behind.

As a result, after a while, everyone appeared in the hall on the first floor of the pavilion, and Han Li sat in the main seat in the middle with a calm expression.

Xue Po, the Fossil Ancestor, and others stood to the side with their hands at their sides.

As for the twelve Fragrant Girls, they were assigned duties by Zhu Guo'er and were sent away early.

"Senior Han, are you really planning to go to the Blood Heaven Continent first?" Xue Po muttered, her expression quite complicated, with both anticipation and a hint of hesitation.

"The original plan does need to be changed. Could it be that you have other ways to go to the Thunderous Continent first?" Han Li replied without any strange expression.

"Senior is joking. If there were other ways to reach the Thunderous Continent early, how could I have kept it hidden?" Xue Po replied with a bitter smile. "Since you have no other way, let's go to the Blood Heaven Continent first. At worst, if it's necessary, we can find a way back to the Thunderous Continent after arriving at the Blood Heaven Continent. As for the Blood Heaven Continent, although I have never been there, I have long heard of its strangeness. It is said that besides the famous Blood Dao Demon Arts, there are several other very mysterious inheritances left behind. It is said that they can kill powerful enemies from ten thousand li away, and can also kill opponents invisibly. It is a truly strange and unpredictable divine ability. Fellow Daoist Xue Po, you should have had some contact with it back then!" Han Li said slowly, and for the first time, a hint of solemnity appeared between his brows.
