Chapter 557: Zhao Qing"er
It didn"t take long for the auction to end. When the auction ended, the demons of the Hidden Demon Auction House started to guide people out of the auction house. At the same time, those who had successfully won the bid for some item were told to follow a different path and go where the path leads them to go.
Ye Xiao and Yi Meng followed the path and arrived in front of a huge room. This room already had about a hundred demons waiting inside.
Ye Xiao and Yi Meng"s entrance didn"t cause any stir among the demons. After all, just like always, Ye Xiao was using his demonic energy to not only let others feel that he was a demonic cultivator but could also tell them that Yi Meng was the same.
After Ye Xiao and Yi Meng, many other demons and demonic cultivators continued to enter the room and started waiting for something. Ye Xiao and Yi Meng also stood with patience.
Yi Meng had also successfully purchased two items that could help her raise her cultivation base and could also help her with her Reincarnation Body.
Everyone had to wait for about half an hour before a demon entered the room and called out the invitation number.
There was a special number on the invitation card and people used the special number to bid for the item they want. Now, the demon attendant was using that special number to call for the person who has successfully won the bid for an item.
The demons and demonic cultivators inside the room started to decrease.
Very soon, Ye Xiao was called out and since Yi Meng used Ye Xiao"s invitation card"s special number to bid for, she also went along with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao and Yi Meng were brought to another room. Their, Zhao Qing"er could be seen standing with her head lowered, and other than Zhao Qing"er, two demons were standing at the side. One of them was holding a plate that had two items on it.
When Ye Xiao entered the room, one of the demons who was not holding anything walked at him and said, "h.e.l.lo dear guest. You have placed a bottle of pure Life Force for auction. It was sold for 750 Million Blood Stones. We have already deducted 500 Million Blood Stones for that slave over there. You are left with 250 Million Blood Stones"
"Now, you have bid for another two items and the total amount is 300 Million Blood Stones. Adding the 250 Million Blood Stones, you still need to pay 50 Million Blood Stones more."
Ye Xiao did not say anything. He nodded his head and took out the 50 Million Blood Stones and gave it to the demon.
The Demon nodded his head and gave the two items to Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao pa.s.sed them to Yi Meng.
After that, the demon once again gave a talisman to Ye Xiao and said, "If this woman dared to resist you, you can use this talisman to give her a painful lesson so that she would not dare to resist you again. She also has her cultivation base sealed and with this talisman, you"ll definitely have no trouble controlling her."
Ye Xiao clenched his fist when he heard this but for the time being, he endured. He could not show his anger at the demons of the Hidden Demon Auction House. He had to endure his anger and look for the demon who dared to kidnap Zhao Qing"er and placed her on the auction as a slave.
Ye Xiao looked at Yi Meng and walked out. Yi Meng went to Zhao Qing"er and said in a soft tone: "Let"s go!"
Zhao Qing"er had thought that the buyer must be an ugly demon of the Green Blood Demon World but when she heard a lady"s soft voice, she was surprised. She raised her head and saw Yi Meng"s smiling face.
"It"s you! Didn"t you...?"
Zhao Qing"er was surprised to see Yi Meng here. She clearly remembered that Yi Meng was also caught by the same bald demon and was the first one to be sold. She was sold to the greatest power of the Northern Wasteland, the Blood Demon Sect.
But now, she was standing in front of her with a smiling face.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind and she was frightened.
Could it be even that she is being controlled by the demons of the Blood Demon Sect? I"ve heard that the demons have many weird abilities, one of which is to control anyone they want.
Yi Meng didn"t know what Zhao Qing"er was thinking. She only nodded her head and replied: "I was rescued by a person you know. He was also the one to buy you from the auction!"
"A person I know?" Zhao Qing"er was confused.
"Follow me!" Yi Meng didn"t explain anything. She only smiled slightly and told Zhao Qing"er to follow her.
Zhao Qing"er nodded her and both of them walked out of the auction house.
Not far from the auction house, Ye Xiao was waiting for the two girls. Yi Meng saw him and pointed at him before saying: "He is the one!"
Zhao Qing"er looked in the direction pointed by Yi Meng and was immediately stunned on her place. Her body trembled and she could not believe what she has just seen.
The one who bought her and saved her from falling into the hands of a demon was other than Ye Xiao, whom she dreamed about meeting for a few years after their separation.
Even when she ascended to the Upper Realm and came across a few opportunities, increasing her strength to the Middle Stage of Immortal King Realm, she did not give up looking for Ye Xiao. She searched all around her the world she was in with her sister Zhao Yufei. Unfortunately, they failed to find him.
Then one day, they heard about the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds. Both sisters decided to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion. Both of them first partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion of their worlds and took the spot of two among ten candidates to represent her world in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds.
Both sisters have been cultivating the secret technique of unknown rank that could help them cultivate Dragon"s Aura, Dragon"s Bloodline, and Dragon"s Body which also represented three stages of the cultivation technique.
Both sisters have the same level of cultivation and were equally powerful.
Both sisters decided to partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds because they believed that Ye Xiao would definitely partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion.
They had ascended to the Upper Realm just a few months later than Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was the one who helped them increase their strength to the Seventh Level of Mortal Realm which was equivalent to the Martial Saint Realm, and left behind a huge amount of resources for them to cultivate. With the resources provided by Ye Xiao, it only took them a few months to reach the peak of the Azure Sky Continent and ascend to the Upper Realm.
Their way of thinking was: "Although through some fortuitous encounter since they managed to increase their cultivation to the Middle Stage of Immortal King Realm, Ye Xiao must have also cultivated to at least the same cultivation realm to them."
They had absolute belief in Ye Xiao and were confident that with Ye Xiao"s strength, he"ll surely partic.i.p.ate in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds. This was the reason why they decided to represent the worlds they had ascended to in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds.
It was a pity that Zhao Yufei ran in an accident and was injured badly just after arriving at the Great Martial City.
Actually, when both sisters arrived at the Great Martial City of the Great Martial World, they ran into an arrogant fellow who wanted both sisters to follow him and become his women. Both sisters strongly refused and said some harsh words that made him feel humiliated.
He ordered one of his guards to break Zhao Yufei"s legs and warned both sisters, saying that after the First Round of the Compet.i.tion, if they still didn"t choose to follow him, he"ll show an even more ruthless side of his.
Before leaving, that person left behind a pill for Zhao Yufei. That pill could heal her legs but it"ll still take some time, causing her to unable to partic.i.p.ate in the First Round of the Compet.i.tion.
She did not expect just a few months after arriving at the Green Blood Demon Sect, she will be caught by the demons and was almost sold to the demons as a slave.
She also did not expect someone to rescue her when almost all the doors of freedom were shut for her. And the most important, that someone was actually Ye Xiao for whom she partic.i.p.ated in the Compet.i.tion of Myriad Worlds.
Tears appeared in the eyes of Zhao Qing"er.. Though she tried to control it, soft sobbing and heavy breathing sounds still came out.
