Chapter 517: Rumors Are Not to Be Trusted

The Hua Minghe Clan's Crown Prince, Cang Ming, actually came to the Jiuguan Auction site!!!

When that dark green figure appeared, the Nine Nether powerhouses all revealed looks of astonishment, gathering in groups of three or five, whispering or exchanging glances.

Human powerhouses noticed the unusual situation on the Nine Nether building and also began to pay attention to that dark green figure.

"It seems a big shot has personally arrived on the Nine Nether side."

The Jiuguan Auction, although a trading event for humans and the various tribes of the Nine Nethers to exchange what they have, most of the Nine Nether tribes only send representatives to participate.

Like the true high-ranking clan masters or young masters, they rarely appear in public, and even if they do come, they often disguise themselves.

The human side is the same, but to ensure the stability of the Demon Prison, every auction is guarded by pillar-level powerhouses.

The human person in charge of this auction is Wei Wei Zhenjie of the Central Holy Land.

The atmosphere in the auction building became murky and turbulent due to the appearance of the Crown Prince, but the trading stalls on both sides were completely unaware, as lively and noisy as ever.

The auction was nearing its end, and human cultivators and Nine Nether creatures alike were clutching their trump-card treasures, shuttling between the stalls, engaging in the final and most intense games and exchanges.

At Hua Hua Changxi's stall, she was burying her head in counting the remaining items.

Most of the Nine Nether artifacts and underworld plants had been dealt with, leaving only a few underworld plants and magic tools of better quality, as well as several full storage rings of Underworld Stones.

She had already decided to use these Underworld Stones to trade for a batch of refining materials from the various tribes of the Nine Nethers.

Just as she was preparing to close the stall, a damp and cold aura suddenly filled the air.

Hua Hua Changxi looked up and saw a handsome man dressed in a dark green robe with water-wave underworld patterns carved between his brows walking straight toward her stall.

The Hua Minghe Clan!

Sensing the powerful aura of the person coming, Hua Hua Changxi's eyes flickered.

Could this person have chased her all the way here from the fifth layer of the Nine Nethers?

No, it shouldn't be.

Not to mention the Underworld Deer's speed was so fast it shook off everyone, she had already changed from a Soul Clan member to a Ghost Clan member, and her aura had long since changed. The Nine Nether people shouldn't be able to discover that she was the Soul Clan member who snatched the deep blue light cluster.

Thinking this, Hua Hua Changxi decisively moved her gaze away from the Hua Minghe man and continued to organize her stall.

Until that Hua Minghe man stood before her stall.

Hua Hua Changxi hung her head, her brows furrowed. No way, he really is coming for her?

"My lord, you're late. The good things in my hands have already been sold. Go look elsewhere."

Cang Ming looked coldly at this Ghost Clan member before him.

What a brilliant disguise technique!

If it weren't for the rich aura of Hua Minghe water on her, he really wouldn't have discovered that she was the Soul Clan member who rode the Underworld Deer.

The Nightmare Tapir said that Soul Clan member was a human in disguise...

Cang Ming really wanted to conduct an investigation on the fellow before him, but he held back.

The Nine Nether creatures and human cultivators chose to hold the auction here, and besides geographical reasons, the most important thing was that Five-Direction Great Array was set up here.

Once violence is used, the array will be activated, and they will be dragged into the array.

The Five-Direction Great Array is not so easy to break.

Cang Ming took a look at the stone platform in the middle of the auction building, where a deep blue hourglass over a meter high was placed at each of the four cardinal directions—east, west, south, and north.

When the underworld sand in the hourglass leaks out, the auction ends.

The duration from the start to the end of the sand leaking was exactly eighty-one days in the human world.

Right now, there was only a little bit of underworld sand left in the hourglass, so he estimated the auction would end in a day or two.

Cang Ming withdrew his gaze, looked at Hua Hua Changxi, and narrowed his eyes: "Is that so? But why does this King feel that you still have other treasures on you?"

Hua Hua Changxi looked up at him and slowly stood straight: "What you feel is what you feel; I said there are none left, then there are none."

Cang Ming's gaze turned cold. In an instant, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, as if it were about to be frozen, causing the surrounding Nine Nether creatures to reveal looks of horror and causing a small-scale riot.

Hua Hua Changxi was not affected by Cang Ming's leaking pressure, but her own aura also became strong: "What, are you prepared to challenge the rules here and force me with violence?"

Cang Ming suppressed his anger somewhat: "Do you know who I am?"

Hua Hua Changxi: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Cang Ming was so angry at Hua Hua Changxi's attitude that he wanted to make a move, but he held back: "..." This King wants the most precious thing on you; you can name any price."

Hua Hua Changxi: "The most precious thing on me is myself. You can't afford me!"

The powerhouses on the auction building had long been looking this way.

At first, seeing Cang Ming actually getting into a dispute with a small Ghost Clan minion, the powerhouses were very puzzled.

But seeing this small Ghost Clan minion actually daring to challenge Cang Ming to his face, they were truly astonished.

The powerhouses were already surprised that she could produce artifacts of the various Nine Nether tribes, and now they were even more curious about her.

In the Hua Minghe Clan, Cang Ming always had the final say, and now, being refuted and provoked by Hua Hua Changxi time and again, his anger reached its peak.

Although violence is not allowed during the auction, he still wanted to use a secret art to give this fellow a taste of his power.

However, before he could make a move, another powerhouse's aura descended.

"Hoo~"

A pitch-black sedan chair surging with ghost energy descended from the sky and landed steadily outside the auction site.

A Ghost King!

The Ghost Clan actually sent a Ghost King!

On the auction building, whether it was the Nine Nether powerhouses or the human powerhouses, their expressions became solemn.

Seeing Su Mingyue walking out of the sedan, Cang Ming narrowed his eyes, and Hua Hua Changxi's eyelids twitched.

"Screech~"

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the Ghost King's personal arrival, a piercing bird cry that shook the soul rang out in the sky.

The next moment, a nine-headed black bird swooped down under everyone's solemn gaze.

After the nine-headed bird landed, it shook its body and transformed into a black-robed man.

Ghost Chariot Mo Xiao!

Although Mo Xiao is not a King Realm powerhouse, he is at the peak of the Marshal Realm and possesses a sound wave supernatural ability specifically for attacking the soul, making him very difficult to take down in battle.

Seeing another powerhouse arrive, Hua Hua Changxi's heart slowly rose.

The Hua Minghe man, the Ghost King, and the Ghost Chariot—are they here for the deep blue light cluster?

Hua Hua Changxi regretted it somewhat at this moment. If she had known the Nine Nether powerhouses cared so much about the deep blue light cluster, chasing her from the fifth layer of the Nine Nethers all the way to the Demon Prison, she wouldn't have snatched it!

Su Mingyue glanced at the Ghost Chariot and prepared to enter the auction site. Behind her followed more than a dozen Ghost Marshals, among whom was Lady White Bone, whom Hua Hua Changxi recognized.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom~"

A scarlet sword light like blood, carrying a pressure that shook the mountains, broke through the air and struck Su Mingyue's group directly.

"Xue Hua, are you determined to go against this King?"

Su Mingyue roared, a ghost claw as black as ink condensed out of thin air, swelling in the wind with eerie ghost energy, and slammed fiercely into the sword light.

"Ssh~"

The sword light shattered, turning into a sky full of blood-colored light rain.

"It's truly laughable. The Ghost Clan wiped out this Lady's avatar; if I don't kill enough of the Ghost Clan, I won't be able to resolve the hatred in my heart."

In the void, a woman in a red dress fluttered, standing in the air, with Other Shore Flowers blooming all around her, red and eerie, red and dazzling.

As she spoke, Lady Other Shore Flower's long sword didn't stop, and countless blood-colored sword lights poured down like a rainstorm, each containing monstrous killing intent, rushing toward Su Mingyue's group of Ghost Clan members.

Su Mingyue's eyes narrowed, her figure rose, attacking Xue Hua, and she could no longer spare any attention to protect the other Ghost Clan members.

Just as a scarlet sword light was about to slash toward Lady White Bone's direction...

"Hum!"

A Ghost Clan member standing beside Lady White Bone suddenly raised his hand and summoned a bone umbrella as white as jade.

The bone umbrella suddenly opened, its surface flowing with profound runes, directly blocking the blood-colored sword light steadily.

"What a powerful defensive magic tool; to be able to block the attack of a King Realm (Concentration Realm) powerhouse, its grade is at least sixth grade or higher."

On the human auction building, after the Ghost Clan took out the bone umbrella, Tong Yao's gaze was immediately attracted: "It seems to be refined from dragon bones."

Jing Le, sitting beside Tong Yao, focused his attention on the runes on the bone umbrella: "Looking at the runes on the bone umbrella... I feel that the bone umbrella doesn't seem to be an object of the Nine Nethers."

Yan Yan Zhenzhen said dismissively: "What's so strange about that? Many human cultivators use Nine Nether magic tools; it's very normal for the Ghost Clan to use human magic tools in return."

Tong Yao thought of something else and directly transmitted his voice to his two friends: "I heard that all major forces have sent some personnel to sneak into the Nine Nethers..."

Yan Yan Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly brightened: "The Nine Nether powerhouses suddenly arrived personally; do you think it could be to pursue 'that human'?"

Jing Le and Tong Yao heard this and shook their heads with a smile.

"That rumor is too exaggerated; it's not to be trusted." ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
