817. Chapter 815: I Will Obtain It

Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian arrived at the secret auction venue; along the way they carefully observed their surroundings, fearing another ambush by the Youhun Sect.

After all, their relationship with Hong Lietian had already caused a great uproar, and the Youhun Sect's hostility toward them was evident.

Finally, they reached the auction site.

It was a place hidden in a valley, appearing peaceful and tranquil.

But Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian both understood that the dangers hidden here far exceeded what the surface suggested.

"True Lord, we need to be careful."

Lu Yuan reminded.

"Don't worry, I have set up a Detection Technique; if any danger appears, I will notice it immediately."

True Lord Po Tian said confidently.

The two entered the auction venue, where the place was bustling with noise and crowds, and various rare immortal materials and treasures were displayed.

Lu Yuan looked excitedly at the surroundings, his eyes flashing with longing.

"The auction items here are truly abundant!"

Lu Yuan said excitedly, "I heard that a water-attribute immortal material will be auctioned; I must obtain it."

True Lord Po Tian smiled and nodded, "Since I met you, I've known you have a special fondness for water-attribute immortal materials."

However, you must be careful of Hong Lietian; he might also be interested in this immortal material.

Lu Yuan frowned, understanding that True Lord Po Tian's reminder was not unnecessary.

As the Sect Leader of the Youhun Sect, Hong Lietian holds great interest in any rare immortal material.

"No matter what, I will strive to obtain this immortal material."

Lu Yuan said firmly.

While they were communicating, a middle-aged cultivator walked over.

He wore splendid immortal robes, his gaze sharp, exuding a dignified aura.

"Are you here to participate in the auction?" the middle-aged cultivator asked.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, we are very interested in the auction items."

The middle-aged cultivator smiled slightly, "Then you must be careful; this auction is not just for buying and selling treasures, but also involves competition over interests."

True Lord Po Tian blinked slightly, somewhat curiously asking, "You mean there is something else behind this auction?"

The middle-aged cultivator nodded, "Exactly, the organizer of this auction is the Ziyun Clan, and you seem to have some connection with them."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, not intending to conceal his cooperative relationship with the Ziyun Clan, "Yes, I have some connection with the Ziyun Clan."

"Before, I helped them resolve some problems, so I received special treatment."

The middle-aged cultivator raised his eyebrows slightly, "Special treatment?"

"Such treatment is not simple; I suspect it may involve the overall interests of the auction."

True Lord Po Tian immediately spoke up to explain, "You misunderstand; Lu Yuan indeed helped the Ziyun Clan expose the Blood Moon Sect's plot, and thus received appropriate recompense, being treated like a top-tier sect."

The middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment, seeming to agree with True Lord Po Tian's explanation, "If so, then there's nothing to worry about."

"However, you still need to be careful of Hong Lietian; he is not someone easy to deal with."

True Lord Po Tian and Lu Yuan nodded, indicating understanding.

While they were talking, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, "You've come."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to see a beautiful woman walking toward them.

She wore a purple long dress, her hair flowing over her shoulders, her eyes shining with intelligent light.

"Zi Xi'er!" Lu Yuan shouted with a smile.

Zi Xi'er walked up to them, smiling broadly, "I heard you came to participate in the auction, so I specially came over to take a look."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern; we indeed came to participate in the auction."

"But why are you also here?"

Zi Xi'er pointed to the crowd behind her, "I came together with my elder sister Zi Cui Ling."

Lu Yuan looked surprised at Zi Cui Ling.

Zi Cui Ling smiled and nodded, "Lu Yuan, you helped my clan; of course I must come to participate in your event."

"Moreover, this auction is also very important for my clan."

Lu Yuan felt grateful in his heart; he hadn't expected Zi Cui Ling to come in person to support him.

While they were chatting, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of Hong Lietian; the appearance of this Youhun Sect sect leader might bring considerable trouble to the auction.

He furrowed his brows, inwardly on guard.

Seeing Lu Yuan's solemn expression, Su Liyan lightly patted his shoulder, indicating he shouldn't worry too much.

Lu Yuan lifted his head to look at Su Liyan, feeling her warmth and support, and his unease gradually eased.

"Don't worry too much; we will surely get through this auction."

Su Liyan said gently.

Lu Yuan nodded, showing a confident smile.

He knew he had such a reliable group of companions beside him; even facing difficulties, they could overcome them together.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and the crowd on the street gradually dispersed, as if to leave an open space.

A middle-aged cultivator in black robes walked slowly over, his gaze sharp, giving off a dignified aura.

"Who is this person?"

Su Liyan asked softly.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the middle-aged cultivator.

He said somewhat warily: "This person seems a bit off; we need to be careful in dealing with them."

The middle-aged cultivator walked up to them, smiling, and said: "Are you here to participate in the auction?"

Lu Yuan nodded, gave a slight smile: "Yes, we were introduced to come, but we're not clear on the details."

The middle-aged cultivator raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, he shifted the topic, talking about the profit competition behind the auction and the relationship with the Ziyun Clan.

"You need to be careful; this auction is not simple, it may involve some profit disputes."

The middle-aged cultivator warned.

Zi Cui Ling gave a light smile, indicating understanding.

She knew that such large events often come with various struggles over interests, but she believed Lu Yuan and his team could handle these problems.

Zi Xi'er's expression suddenly changed, as if she sensed something. She warily scanned the surroundings, tightly furrowing her brows.

"Someone is observing us." Zi Xi'er whispered.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became wary.

Their gazes swept across the crowd, trying to spot any potential observers.

Just then, a noisy sound came from afar, drawing everyone's attention.

A group of people in splendid attire was walking this way; leading them was a middle-aged cultivator of refined bearing, his eyes revealing an aura of dignity.

"Who is that person?" Su Liyan asked softly.

Lu Yuan stared ahead, his gaze deep and focused.

He had an uneasy premonition that this middle-aged cultivator might bring some ill tidings. (End of chapter)
