Chapter 57: Five Whole New Children of Luck!

So painful!

It was too painful! Yu Ruowei's face turned deathly pale all of a sudden.

She had lost her Immortal Bone and suffered severe damage to her vitality, relying on the Master-Servant Contract with Cang Xuan to pull her cultivation back, barely repairing her limbs and gaining one eye.

But in the end, she had been too reckless.

"Ugh..." The pained cry was pressed back into her throat in the next second. Without even looking at the Blood-Winged Viper that had been chopped in two, Yu Ruowei called out urgently, "Cang Xuan, save me!"

A white streak of light flashed by. The giant white wolf's body surged in size, and even at the cost of having a piece of leg meat torn off by Qu Guan's beast form, it swallowed Yu Ruowei into its belly in one gulp and turned to flee.

Along with her, there was also Yu Ruowei's severed hand.

Just as his tongue curled around that severed hand, scorching flames rose into the air. The purple Strange Fire instantly engulfed Yu Ruowei's severed hand, and a gray figure snatched it from the Strange Fire, turned, and fled.

Feng Wuyou did not say a word, shifting her target to this gray figure with a heavy gaze.

Ji Cunxi saw the figure clearly and couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Yuan?"

He felt some anxiety in his heart.

Yuan Qin and he were quite like-minded; why was he being so irrational as to go and snatch the Life-Prolonging Pill?

Was that something easy to snatch?

The white wolf missed its first strike and was about to tear through space to escape into the void, but Qu Guan, transformed into a giant shark, grew ruthless. He spat out the fishy wolf meat and opened his giant mouth again, revealing sharp teeth to bite!

"Hold your mouth... no, hold your wolf!"

The old ox noticed, but it was too late.

"Woo!"

The white wolf was bitten on the hind leg, and its eye sockets quickly filled with tears.

It was in such pain it was almost driven mad.

Don't forget, he was still just a wolf cub! But in the end, Cang Xuan was more concerned about the master in his belly. Enduring the pain, he desperately tore open space, turned back to bite off his own wolf leg, and limped into the void.

Only drops of wolf blood fell to the ground.

"..."

Even though the old ox rushed over, he arrived to find nothing.

Qu Guan spat in annoyance and spat out the wolf leg.

"Damn it, let her run."

"What the hell was that thing, how could it tear through space?"

That bloody white wolf leg was reflected in the old ox's eyes.

Anger quickly filled his heart; his two ox eyes turned red, and his roar shook the heavens.

"Moo!!!"

He stomped his hooves heavily! The old yellow ox, who looked as thin as a stick, possessed the weight of ten thousand, and the auction house shook violently in an instant.

Qin Yuan was already struggling to deal with Feng Wuyou's offensive, and with an unsteady footing, the ring containing the Life-Prolonging Pill slipped from his hand.

His eyes were wide with rage.

"No! Give it back to me!"

Feng Wuyou sneered, "Keep dreaming."

She flicked the ring up with the tip of her blade, but in the next second, the ring suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.

Qin Yuan's anger had nowhere to vent, and his face stiffened.

Lu Ren sat quietly in the private room, watching the chaotic mess below.

It was becoming a total disaster.

Fishing in troubled waters, looting during a fire, and secret infighting—everything was happening at once.

Half of the auction house had already been destroyed.

Yet, Lu Ren was not annoyed.

He was even smiling.

In his ears, the system notification sounded.

【Search detected Child of Luck Yu Yangyan.】

【Search detected Child of Luck Yu Chunlan.】

【Search detected Child of Luck Yan Yan.】

【Search detected Child of Luck Dantai Jingcheng.】

【Search detected Child of Luck Fu Hong.】

Five!

A full five new Children of Luck!

Lu Ren took a rough look; the one with the lowest Qi Luck Value among them had five million, and the highest actually had forty million!

This was truly...

No loss at all.

He marked all of these Children of Luck.

The one furthest away had already reached the entrance of the auction house, about to escape.

Lu Ren chuckled.

Escape? The moment the auction began, he had already instructed the clan elders to open the array extracted by the system to its maximum, encompassing the entire Wanren City.

With the spirit vein provided by Feng Wuyou as a backup, there was no need to worry about the consumption of Spirit Stones.

Now, the array was frantically consuming resources at a rate of one Top-grade Spirit Stone every thirty seconds.

What was exchanged for this is the current Wanren City...

Cannot enter. Cannot leave.

It is already a time of catching a turtle in a jar.

It is time to harvest the fruits.

Lu Ren flashed, disappearing from the private room.

The next second, he appeared at the entrance of the auction house, his ice-blue soft whip lashing out; a sword Qi instantly forced out the person hiding their figure, tearing the lurker's lapel and hooking out what he was clutching.

Dantai Jingcheng covered his face, which had been lashed by the whip, his anger mixed with a trace of bewilderment.

Crazy?

What kind of person actually uses a whip to lash out sword Qi? Having always had smooth sailing, this was his first time encountering a setback.

Dantai Jingcheng was so vexed that his lips were trembling.

Had he known this would happen, he definitely should have killed that woman first; that way, the imprint on the Storage Ring would have been erased.

It was hateful that his cultivation was not high enough to erase the owner's mark on it, nor could he open this ring.

Otherwise, he would absolutely never spit out something that had already reached his hands! He took a deep look at Lu Ren, memorized his face, tore open a Ten-Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman, and ran away directly.

As long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood.

Running is the best strategy!

Lu Ren stroked the ring, the surrounding noise having no effect on him at all; with a surge of his divine sense, the restriction on the ring was directly erased.

To others, it might be difficult, but he was proficient in arrays, so it was merely a piece of cake.

He tossed the ring back to Qu Guan, watching as Qu Guan immediately took out the Life-Prolonging Pill and fed it to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu was almost choked, coughing twice, the sickly red at the corners of his eyes becoming even more pronounced.

But he swallowed it in the end, closing his eyes to digest the medicinal power.

Gulp.

The pill was down his throat, and there was no second possibility.

"Family Head." The female auctioneer was both delighted and vexed, simply admitting her fault, "I was incompetent and failed to stop the villain; to think I had to trouble the Family Head to take action."

"It is nothing," Lu Ren said indifferently.

His expression was cold and stern, and the silent, powerful aura around him caused many to fall into a hush.

It was precisely at this moment that Qin Yuan followed suit, tearing open a Ten-Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman to run away.

Feng Wuyou's blade Qi only had time to slash across his back, leaving a hideous gash.

She was dissatisfied, however, frowning as she looked at her palm in confusion.

What happened?

According to common sense, that strike just now should have clearly killed him! Strange.

Too strange.

She did not pursue, only continuously flipping her palm over.

Anyway, not even a mosquito could fly out of Wanren City, so she would let that brat be carefree for a moment longer.

Now...

She looked toward Lin Xiu in the wheelchair, gnashing her teeth.

This one was the most important.

Amidst the slightly awkward atmosphere of the crowd, Lu Ren's fingertips moved slightly, and as a deep blue light bloomed, it made all the experts instantly alert and defensive.

Yet, they realized in an instant that they had been on guard too early.

The Time Law did not act upon them, but upon the auction house.

The collapsed pillars, the broken ground, and the damaged auction stage all rewound and started over, having time reversed to return to their intact state.

The crowd was dumbfounded and tongue-tied.

This Lu Ren... has he already mastered the Time Law to such a monstrous degree?

To be able to control it perfectly.

Hiss! It is truly terrifying to the extreme, and one cannot help but be on guard!

Looking at Lu Ren, he was completely calm, only looking at the others with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"My Lu Family's auction house is truly plagued by misfortune; if you all have nowhere to vent your excess energy, you are welcome to go dig mines for my Lu Family."

After he indifferently mocked them, he did not look at the others' awkward expressions and walked straight toward the second floor.

Passing by Lin Xiu, Lu Ren looked at Qu Guan, "Bring your master and come along."

Qu Guan's alarm bells rang, and though he did not understand, he could only bite the bullet and comply.

Regardless, this Lu Family Head had helped them snatch back the pill.

Weisheng Yucheng, being bitten by the old ox, helplessly picked up that wolf leg and cupped his hands toward the auctioneer, "Offense taken."

Having said that, he followed Lu Ren, winding his way up.

Feng Wuyou flickered and disappeared from the hall with an expressionless face.

The auctioneer looked toward the stage, maintaining a perfect smile as if completely unaffected: "Next, is our second auction item..."

Even though she was calm and composed, no one could ease their mind.

The Life-Prolonging Pill was only the first one, yet it had sparked such a conflict.

Wouldn't the remaining single one break the entire Wanren City? Harboring such speculation, the crowd competed to bid, staking their entire fortunes on the Demon Pill.

But no one noticed that there were a few private rooms on the second floor that had remained completely silent the whole time.

As if...

They were dead.
