Chapter 390 - The Beginning And End Of The Auction
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
The Crimson Fiend Sect did not obtain that treasure, which meant that his grandmaster should still be safe. Even if it was not, he should still have an essence soul.
"Crimson Fiend Sect, what strength do you have?"
Chen Chen used his spiritual sense to send a voice transmission and asked Zhou Lu who was beside him.
"The Crimson Fiend Sect has ten Spirit Severing stage experts. They are known as the Ten Crimson Fiendss. Among them, the two strongest are at the half-step Unification stage."
Zhou Lu transmitted his voice and introduced.
Chen Chen"s heart thumped when he heard this. There was no need to say anything else. Just these ten Spirit Severing stage experts were enough to beat up the Jade Tripod Alchemy Sect.
Although the Jade Tripod Alchemy Sect was not weak, there were only seven or eight Spirit Severing stage experts. Moreover, most of these seven or eight were alchemists. Their combat strength was even weaker than cultivators of the same realm.
However, since the Crimson Fiend Sect had two strongest experts, it meant that they could not be too united.
Moreover, there was only one treasure. Who would they give it to?
From the looks of it, this matter was probably done by one of the Ten Crimson Demon Venerables.
In any case, it was impossible for him to tell the sect about such a precious treasure. Most likely, he would only use his trusted subordinates to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure.
When the red-robed cultivator saw that Chen Chen was fearless even after he heard the name Crimson Fiend Sect, his expression became somewhat perturbed.
"How many of you are there? Who is the leader?"
"Ten..." When he said this, the red-robed cultivator"s eyes became a little evasive.
Chen Chen was extremely quick-witted. Just by looking at his expression, he knew what this person was thinking.
Of the ten people, other than a few who were guarding the captives, the rest were probably out looking for the Linglong Divine Gold.
This person was banking on his other Senior and Junior Brothers to come here and save his life, while at the same time taking care of this enemy of his.
From the looks of it, it wasn"t a good idea to stay in this place for long.
Without much thought, Chen Chen sealed the cultivation base of the red-robed cultivator and brought him with him. Then, he brought him to a remote place and flew for over a thousand kilometers before stopping.
Along the way, he asked a lot of questions. In order to survive, the red-robed cultivator answered everything that he knew.
The truth was just as Chen Chen had thought. This time, it was the second Demon Venerable of the Ten Crimson Demon Venerables, who had the cultivation base at the peak of the Spirit Severing stage. As for the other devil venerables of the Crimson Fiend Sect, none of them knew.
Half a month ago, the auction started. One of the two Demon Venerables subordinates attended the auction and found the treasure.
In fact, many knowledgeable cultivators present that day saw the clues and were actually identified on the spot.
The result was predictable. In an instant, it caused a huge uproar.
The auction price soared all the way until it reached an almost impossible height and was auctioned off by an anonymous auctioneer.
After the auction of the treasure was over, the entire auction hall was locked up by someone. A group of cultivators started fighting in the auction hall.
However, not long after the fight, the second Demon Venerable of the Crimson Fiend Sect led a few subordinates to descend to the auction hall. They captured all the cultivators present alive and brought them to a secret place for interrogation.
However, they were unable to find it in the end, and no one admitted that they had obtained the treasure. However, some people said that it was very likely that the auction hall had sent someone to bid for the treasure. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to reach that price.
Although the value of the treasure far exceeded the auction price, the price was also very high. Even if the Spirit Severing stage cultivator used all his wealth, he would not be able to take out so many spirit stones.
Therefore, it could only be done by the Spirit Gold City itself.
The result could be imagined. The two demon supremacies of the Crimson Fiend Sect had once again descended on the Spirit Gold City, directly destroying the Spirit Gold City and the nearby mines. Moreover, they had captured many cultivators, but they still could not find the lost treasure.
Now, they could only search for it based on the clues provided by the captured cultivators.
"As expected, Grandmaster did not die, but I"m afraid he suffered a lot. But where is Fairy Wu Nian?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chen asked again, "So many cultivators have gone missing. Their masters and elders should have come to look for them, right? How did you deal with them?"
"Half a month ago, a group of cultivators came to Spirit Gold City one after another. At that time, the second Demon Venerable was near Spirit Gold City. After he killed a group of people, no one dared to come."
"Killed all of them?" Chen Chen"s voice suddenly became cold.
Hearing this, the red-robed cultivator hurriedly said, "Two experts lost their bodies and their essence souls were severely injured. In the end, they escaped..."
Looking at his submissive gaze, Chen Chen did not know if this person was telling the truth or if it was because he was afraid that he would be angry and lie.
In fact, he did not have a deep relationship with Fairy Wu Nian. If Fairy Wu Nian had not died, then naturally, everyone would be happy.
However, if she had died, he could only silently mourn in his heart.
"Where is the place where the people are locked up? Is it the second Demon Venerable who is guarding?"
"No..."
The red-robed cultivator wanted to deny it, but after meeting Chen Chen"s sharp gaze, he immediately changed his words.
"Yes, it"s the Second Demon Venerables who was personally guarding those people. As for the place... It"s in a small sect 1,500 kilometers to the north. The sect master of that small sect is the woman of the Second Demon Venerable."
"What"s her cultivation level?"
"Early stage of the Spirit Severing stage," the red-robed cultivator replied in a low voice.
"Early stage of the Spirit Severing stage..." Chen Chen frowned.
Not to mention the Second Demon Venerable who was at the peak-stage Spirit Severing stage, even his woman would be hard to defeat.
"Fellow Daoist, if you really want to save someone, I advise you to find a few more elders from your sect. That way, you might have a chance of defeating the Second Demon Venerable..."
Seeing Chen Chen"s hesitation, the red-robed cultivator hurriedly said.
Seeing that he was giving him advice, Chen Chen couldn"t help but sneer.
This guy was obviously afraid that he would back out. When that time came, he would have no use for him and he would kill him.
It seemed that the Crimson Fiend Sect wasn"t a sect with loyalty.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Chen asked indifferently, "Do you know what that treasure is?"
The red-robed cultivator shook his head and said, "I don"t know. The Second Demon Venerable didn"t tell us. He only said that the treasure is white in color and the size of a human head... he told us to bring anything similar back."
Chen Chen"s gaze became cold.
The red-robed cultivator was shocked and said with a sobbing tone, "I really don"t know... Second Demon Venerable is also on guard against us."
"I"ll give you a chance to live. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself." Chen Chen stretched out a finger.
"Fellow Daoist, just say it. I"ll do what I can!"
The red-robed cultivator"s face was full of sincerity, and his desire to live was extremely strong.
"Send a message to your two devil emperor. Tell him that you saw something similar in the hands of a deity Spirit Severing stage realm cultivator."
After saying this, Chen Chen returned the storage ring of the red-robed cultivator.
The red-robed cultivator started to send a message without saying anything, while Chen Chen instructed from the side.
"One more thing. I faintly heard that Spirit Severing stage cultivator mention something about divine gold... you know that you"re no match for him, so you kept it a secret and didn"t interact with that Spirit Severing stage cultivator."
The red-robed cultivator sent a message according to Chen Chen"s description, and it didn"t take long for him to receive a reply from the second Demon Venerable.
Upon seeing that reply, the red-robed cultivator"s expression was extremely awkward.
The second Demon Venerable actually praised him for his intelligence and ability to adapt to circ.u.mstances..
One has to know that he had never received such praise before. Now that he was praised because of such a thing, he couldn"t help but start to doubt his own intelligence.
"Fellow Daoist... the second Demon Venerable asked me, where is the Spirit Severing stage cultivator?"
"Report this location to him." Chen Chen pointed to the ground.
After the red-robed cultivator finished reporting the location, his expression became extremely panicked. He cried out in alarm, "Fellow Daoist, Second Demon Venerable.... He will descend here very soon!"
