Chapter 196: Everyone Harbors Evil Intent

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yuehuo and Hua Xiangxi were stunned.

There are many ways to obtain the Lion King Bone; it doesn't have to be through auction.

This isn't it indicating that Lin Yang intends to use force, going straight to seize the Lion King Bone from Chu Yue's hands?

Thus, the two began to worry again, after all, the other party is the daughter of the Great Dao Sect's Sect Master.

The Great Dao Sect is one of the five major sect powers in Zhongzhou, with formidable strength and foundation.

No one dares to offend it lightly.

Yet they were unaware that the Great Dao Sect already harbored considerable grudge against Lin Yang's third disciple, Zhou Tianming.

As his master, and one who always likes to protect his disciples, he naturally wants to vent anger for his disciple.

Then……

Lin Yang glanced at Chu Yue; his eyes held no trace of anger, but rather a hint of deep meaning, and he softly said, "The Lion King Bone is yours."

After saying that, he calmly returned to his seat, picked up his tea cup, and leisurely drank his tea.

It seemed as if that fierce auction battle just now was merely an insignificant trifle to him, and he paid it no heed.

And Lin Yang's sudden withdrawal naturally meant no one else would compete with Chu Yue.

As the auctioneer's voice sounded again.

"One thousand two hundred million, once."

"One thousand two hundred million, twice."

"One thousand two hundred million, three times!"

The hammer fell, sealing the deal.

In this Four Seas Chamber of Commerce auction, the Lion King Bone officially fell into Chu Yue's hands.

Logically, having obtained the Lion King Bone she had longed for, Chu Yue should be beaming with joy right now.

But her face at this moment was extremely grim, as if she had swallowed a dead fly.

If not for Lin Yang, how could she have bid such a high price to win the Lion King Bone?

Moreover, seeing Lin Yang's calm and composed demeanor, she felt deep down that things weren't that simple.

An inexplicable unease began to spread in her heart……

Immediately, Chu Yue stopped thinking so much and promptly paid one thousand two hundred million spirit stones.

Carefully putting away the Lion King Bone, she left the auction venue in a hurry, filled with unease.

After all, Meng Po had gone to the Azure Cloud Sect to investigate the deaths of Liu Zhishi and Xiu Luo and had not yet returned.

In this land of hidden tigers and concealed dragons, the Three Provinces, even though she is the daughter of the Great Dao Sect's Sect Master, she could still encounter dangers.

After seeing Chu Yue leave.

In the Heavenly Character Room Three, the atmosphere became heavy, as oppressive as before a storm.

Jiang Yuehuo's eyes narrowed slightly, a resolute light flashing within them.

Afterwards, she spoke in a crisp voice: "Young master, I have two Quasi-Emperor realm experts and eleven Great Saint realm powerhouses at my disposal, all ready to follow your orders."

She knew clearly that if Lin Yang tried to forcibly seize the Lion King Bone from Chu Yue, he would inevitably offend the Great Dao Sect, which would surely bring grave danger.

But whatever Lin Yang wishes to do, she will support him without hesitation.

Hua Xiangxi, unwilling to be outdone, eagerly added: "My side also has two Quasi-Emperor realm experts, plus eight Great Saint Perfection realm powerhouses, all placed at Master Lin's disposal."

After saying that, she seemed still uneasy.

She furrowed her lovely brows slightly, a hint of resolve flashing in her eyes, and slowly said: "If things truly reach a critical point, I still have some stronger connections and strength I can mobilize."

For Lin Yang, she has truly gone all out this time.

Kong Qing Xiaozi, seeing the two declare their stances, hurriedly said: "I don't have that many formidable subordinates, but I am fast; Big Brother Lin, if you have any orders to relay, I'm ready at a moment's call!"

Although Chu Yue's backing, the Great Dao Sect, possesses strength so formidable it chills the bones, he has now firmly stood on Lin Yang's side.

Seeing the three with solemn expressions, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile, his smile warm like spring sunshine, saying: "I never said I would go seize Chu Yue's Lion King Bone."

Upon hearing that.

The three were simultaneously startled, each with different expressions, asking: "You don't plan to seize Chu Yue's Lion King Bone?"

But Lin Yang's earlier posture clearly indicated he was preparing to forcibly take the Lion King Bone.

Why then does he now say he does not intend to seize the Lion King Bone?

Seeing their confusion, Lin Yang nodded and said: "I'm just going to join the fun."

"Join the fun?" The three grew even more suspicious.

"Alright." Lin Yang interrupted the three, saying: "Don't worry needlessly; I'll go and come back quickly."

As his words fell.

Lin Yang then turned into a streak of flowing light, instantly vanishing before everyone's eyes.

Only Jiang Yuehuo, Hua Xiangxi, and Kong Qing Xiaozi remained, staring at each other, momentarily at a loss.

Just as Lin Yang set off in pursuit of the direction Chu Yue had left.

In the various large and small Heavenly Character-shaped private rooms of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce auction, streaks of flowing light shot out one after another.

Jiang Suan was teasing crickets; seeing Lin Yang chase out, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said to A Jiao beside him: "My friends have all gone; A Jiao, let's follow too."

As for Wu Fa and Wu Tian, Wu Fa helplessly shook his head and sighed: "You're fixated on appearances, you're fixated on appearances."

Wu Tian gripped his battle axe tightly and chimed in: "Yeah, this bunch of daredevils even dare to scheme against the daughter of the Great Dao Sect's Sect Master; they're simply tired of living."

"It's better here, with fine wine and leisure."

With a "bang."

Wu Fa raised his hand and gave Wu Tian's head a knock, gruffly saying: "Don't be fixated on appearances."

Wu Tian looked puzzled and asked: "Big brother, where am I fixated on appearances?"

Wu Fa gave him a white eye and said: "Chu Yue is a slab of meat, how can you have no ideas?"

Wu Tian cried out in injustice: "She's from the Great Dao Sect…"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Tian suddenly realized and said: "Exactly, we're wearing masks; how would she know who we are?"

"Go!"

Immediately, Wu Fa grabbed Wu Tian, turned into a streak of light, and swiftly pursued.

After Chu Yue left the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce auction.

Her keen perception instantly sensed countless streams of powerful force surging like a raging tide toward her position.

Her face turned pale; while fleeing for her life, she mentally cursed: "A bunch of clueless things, daring to have designs on this young lady—do they really think I'm easy to bully?"

"Just tired of living!"

"However."

Scolding aside, she knew in her heart that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

In Central Province, as the daughter of the Great Dao Sect Sect Master, she could summon wind and rain.

But in this land of the Three Provinces, where crouching tigers hide dragons, she could hardly stir up a big wave.

While fleeing at top speed, she was also anxious, hurriedly trying to contact Meng Po.

At the same time, she used means to contact her father within the Great Dao Sect.

Although she couldn't reach Meng Po, she successfully contacted her father's transmission jade talisman.

On the Great Dao Sect's side, upon hearing that his daughter was being hunted, the Sect Master of the Great Dao Sect exploded with rage.

He was furious, his voice booming like a great bell as he roared: "Yue'er, don't fear; I will personally come with men and slaughter those vermin, leaving not a scrap of armor!"
