Chapter 228: The Road-Blockers Have Arrived

The quality of this trade fair could be called the highest since it began; the Nine Nether Wind Flame was originally a huge gimmick, and this grand finale, the Saint Inheritance, pushed it to a peak.

Many powerhouses poured out all their strength, not hesitating even if it meant bankruptcy. Various resources could be earned back if lost, but a Saint Puppet was something one could only encounter by luck, not by seeking!

Facing the temptation of Saint-level combat power, no one could remain indifferent.

Even those who were calmer at the start, as well as many representatives of factions who were originally just watching the fun, opened their purses generously.

Fortunately, there were no weaklings among them; otherwise, the momentum stirred up just during the bidding could have directly torn a Dou Zun Peak to pieces.

Finally...

This Saint Inheritance of the Wan Kui Sect was obtained by Xiao Han with four Ninth Grade Precious Pills, two Heaven-Tier Intermediate Dou Techniques, and a Gathering Yuan Array disk capable of increasing cultivation speed by two times.

And this move completely convinced many people. Many knew that the Langya Pavilion's financial resources were not weak, but they did not expect the Ice Saint's financial power to be so formidable.

One is a faction, but the other is an individual!

Who else could take out two Heaven-Tier Intermediate or higher Dou Techniques and four Ninth Grade Medicinal Pills all at once?

As for that strange array disk, it was even more so for many people—a thing they had never heard of, yet no one doubted the truth of the matter.

A lie so easily exposed had reached this point, and no one would speak up to add to the mockery.

However, everyone was also clear that it was not over yet! Some people's minds began to stir.

If it were someone from an Ancient Race who had obtained this Saint Puppet, it would be fine; hindered by the other party's background, not many would dare to step forward and offend them.

But the Ice Saint was not necessarily the same; even though the other party was a Five-Star Dou Sheng and the strongest in the venue, it did not mean they could not make a move.

Do not mention the problem of uneven distribution of spoils afterward; having cultivated to this point, people were not stupid. The inheritance could be shared, and the puppet could be valued and split.

As for the Ice Saint's subsequent retaliation, their factions were not weaklings either; united, they would not fear the Langya Pavilion. Furthermore, the other party had an old rival, the Soul Hall, watching from the sidelines, so it would not be their turn to worry.

Did you not see that the killing intent in Hun Miesheng's eyes was about to overflow? Let that person go first, and they would see if there were any opportunities to exploit.

However, only a minority held such thoughts; most people were relatively clear-headed. The Ice Saint had not suffered a loss in all these years...

Many people had no intention of helping, but they did not want to make a move either, so they prepared to eat melons and watch the show from the sidelines.

Xiao Han was perfectly aware of the looming, hidden gazes around him, but he did not care at all, calmly putting away the Saint Puppet that was important in everyone's eyes.

Xiao Han's life was not just about cultivation; he also liked to study some strange and peculiar things. For example, the Soul Techniques and Soul Arts of ancient alchemists, some lost formations, and this puppet happened to be new material.

As long as he did not scrap this puppet, his life safety could still be guaranteed; he believed Huang'er would not pursue it. The heavy feeling of the puppet gave Xiao Han great confidence.

Taking a step back, if he could not research it, would it not be great to throw it into the Pavilion to serve as a bodyguard for guarding the house?

After putting the things away, Xiao Han stood up casually and walked outside, acting as if he were unaware of certain hostile gazes.

The trade fair's host, Kong Yi, looked worriedly at Xiao Han's departing figure; he still had a good impression of Xiao Han's straightforwardness.

………

After Xiao Han left Space Town, he walked for nearly two hours continuously. Looking at the wind and sand that had not ceased around him, Xiao Han slightly closed his eyes.

The corners of his mouth parted slightly: "We are so far away, are you all still going to follow?"

Probably four people, carrying some hostile aura, fewer than Xiao Han thought. The others were probably wanting to continue watching the situation!

"As expected of the Ice Saint, your perception is truly sharp." As soon as the voice fell, a slightly sinister voice rang out.

Xiao Han did not even need to perceive specifically to know who the owner of this voice was.

"Hun Miesheng, did only you come from the Soul Clan this time?" Xiao Han asked with an amused expression.

A few years ago, he could manage to take on two; now, Hun Miesheng actually dared to come and challenge him one-on-one? Is he crazy!

Regarding Xiao Han's contempt, Hun Miesheng was also quite unhappy in his heart. However, the situation was stronger than the person; Xiao Han's strength suppressed him, and he had to admit it.

However...

Hun Miesheng revealed a grim smile, "Pavilion Master Su, this Hall Master has never said that this time was to challenge you one-on-one."

Saying this, Hun Miesheng shouted with a smile on his face: "Everyone, please appear; our one-on-one fighting is no match for Pavilion Master Su!"

"Hmph, Hun Miesheng, you are quite shrewd!" An arrogant voice rang out, and then, in Xiao Han's field of vision, the extremely displeased Yao Wangui appeared in mid-air.

And in other directions around Xiao Han, two more figures appeared, but both were shrouded in mysterious smoke.

It seemed they were still somewhat wary of the Langya Pavilion and Xiao Han.

Xiao Han said disdainfully: "You two, it would be better for you to reveal your true forms; that way, this Saint might still look at you with a bit more respect."

In Xiao Han's view, the behavior of these two was completely trying to cover up something that was already obvious. There were only so many famous Dou Saint powerhouses in the Central Plains; everyone mixed in this circle, and some basic intelligence was clearly known to all.

Even if they concealed their identities now, when they made a move, those Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods were almost unique and could not be hidden at all. Xiao Han just wanted to know if these people had cultivated until they were stupid.

"Ice Saint?" Yao Wangui looked at Xiao Han arrogantly, "Hand over that Saint Inheritance, and this Elder can spare your life!"

He and Hun Miesheng had already discussed it: first, join forces with those two to keep this Ice Saint here. Afterward, the Saint Puppet would be handed to him to take away, and the inheritance would be split among the few.

From this, one could see how heavy Hun Miesheng's killing intent toward this Ice Saint was, as he did not even want the Saint Puppet.

Yao Wangui's words were filled with confidence, leaving the crowd eating melons in the distance speechless.

Had he lost his mind from holding the power of punishment in the Yao Clan? Did he really think the outside world was a place where he, Yao Wangui, could summon wind and rain?

A Four-Star Initial Dou Saint actually dared to threaten a Five-Star Dou Saint whose combat power chased after a Six-Star; what kind of genius idea was this?

Xiao Han glanced at Yao Wangui and sighed silently. The Yao Clan deserved to get worse and worse; with such an Elder, was this not a disaster!

He probably relied on the Yao Clan behind him to be so unscrupulous.

Afterward, Xiao Han turned his gaze toward Hun Miesheng, wanting to see what kind of tricks this master could pull off.

However...

"Do it!" Hun Miesheng said with a cold expression, without a shred of nonsense.

A pitch-black, huge palm print slapped directly toward Xiao Han, and the desert along the way was directly lifted into deep pits dozens of feet deep.

The conflict between him and Xiao Han was completely irreconcilable. If not for the sake of the big picture, he would have long requested the clan to send powerhouses to execute this person.

Now that there was such a good opportunity, even if he could not kill the other party, it would be good to make him spit out that Saint Inheritance and the puppet.

This time, he had lured two Four-Star and two Three-Star Late Dou Saints, one of whom even carried a surprise. Heaven gives, but one does not take; instead, one suffers the blame!

"Hun Miesheng, you have made quite some progress!" Xiao Han raised his eyebrows, making no move with his hands, and directly sent a light print of the same size to meet it...

The two moves, appearing both slow and fast, collided together; between heaven and earth there was first a moment of silence, and then the surrounding land was directly shaken into a crater several thousand zhang in diameter.

And this seemed to be a signal, as the other few people also struck one after another, killing toward Xiao Han who was at the center.
