Chapter 2052

The second day of the auction was held as scheduled.

After yesterday's incident, the entire Binhai City was on high alert, and the patrolling network was even more concentrated.

Even though the identity of the attacker was intentionally sealed, as the guests who had been detained were released one after another, the news still spread like wildfire.

The attacker was the successor of the Mental Demon Dao Ancestor, and he possessed the heart-shaped stone that could reconstruct the Grand Heart Magic. This news attracted the interest of many powers, and they sent out a large number of people to search and investigate in the name of assisting the Ghostly Parade!

At the same time, the number of guests entering the two Earth Auction Halls far exceeded the previous day. This was because there were rumors that the successor of the Mental Demon Dao Ancestor had an irreconcilable conflict with the Ghostly Parade. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely attack again.

The previous day's bloodshed did not cause the cultivators to stay away in fear. Instead, it caused the opposite effect, which was extremely ironic.

On the second day, Gu Chen, who had transformed into the middle-aged Daoist priest Zhao Qiu, did not move at all. He stood guard in a pavilion not too far away from the three auction halls, observing the situation while adjusting his condition.

He was certain that the Ugly Emperor would need time to familiarize himself with the three heart-shaped stones, so he would not attack again on the second day.

There was an extremely high chance that he would choose to attack on the Heaven Hall on the last day. This judgment was completely different from the guesses of the various powers in the city.

After the two attacks, the Ghostly Parade and the various forces had a basic judgment of the Ugly Emperor's strength. They were certain that even if the Ugly Emperor didn't escape and wanted to continue attacking, it was impossible for him to attack the Heavenly Hall, which was guarded by many Great Sages, because that was equivalent to seeking death.

However, the various powers lacked an important piece of information: the Ugly Emperor had already gathered five heart-shaped stones.

Only Gu Chen knew this truth, and he had seen the Ugly Emperor's state before. He knew that it would be an all-out, crazy attack.

When the time came, his chance would come. If he missed this chance, there would be no better time to capture Medusa.

Just how many experts would be gathered at the Heaven Hall tomorrow?

How many changes would the Ugly Emperor's attack cause?

All sorts of variables were unknown, so he could only do his best to prepare. Every bit of preparation meant a higher chance of victory!

The sun set, and the sky darkened. The second day of the auction unexpectedly ended peacefully.

Many Sages guarding the Earth Hall could not help but reveal looks of disappointment. Could it be that the successor of the Mental Demon Dao Ancestor knew that it would be difficult for him to succeed again, so he had given up? Has he already escaped?

This was the most reasonable choice, but many cultivators who were hoping for a fluke still felt disappointed. They cursed the successor of the Inner Demon for being a sneaky scoundrel.

When the lanterns were lit, the discussions about the successor of the mental demon far surpassed the discussions about the auction in the restaurants and teahouses in the city.

Gu Chen released his Divine Sense and felt the various rumors in the city. He couldn't help but shake his head.

After tomorrow, rivers of blood would probably flow in Binhai City. It was unknown if the cultivators who were clamoring now would cry and regret not leaving this place earlier.

The night passed uneventfully, and the last day of the auction arrived.

Compared to yesterday's surge of people in the two Earth Halls, the number of cultivators entering the Heaven Hall today was obviously much higher.

Apart from the fact that a large number of cultivators had already given up on the idea of entering the Earth Hall yesterday, there was another more important reason.

Rumor had it that a few precious treasures were about to appear in the Heavenly Hall today, and they were even more attractive than the heart-shaped stone in the hands of the successor of the Inner Demon.

The reason why Binhai City could attract the Great Sages was also because of the existence of these auction items.

There was no doubt about the attractiveness of such rare treasures. Even if many cultivators knew that they didn't have the financial resources to participate in the auction, it was still good to see the world.

"How is it? Have you found Junior Sister Chu? "

At the entrance of the Heaven Hall, Sword Pavilion's Song Chaocheng had a worried expression as he anxiously asked his fellow disciples who had rushed over.

His fellow disciples shook their heads, unable to hide their fatigue. Clearly, they had been running around the entire night.

"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Chu's whereabouts are still unknown. I'm afraid she's in trouble."

"When the chaos happened in the Earth Hall, Junior Sister Chu was in charge of the auction platform. According to the speculations of the Uncle-Masters, it's very likely that she encountered the successor of the Inner Demon head-on and encountered misfortune."

A female disciple's eyes were red. Many Sword Pavilion disciples had died in the chaos yesterday, but their corpses had been found. Only Chu Meixin's whereabouts were unknown. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

"Junior Sister Chu, the heavens help the worthy. Don't say such inauspicious words. Alright, let's put this aside for now. It's the last day, and we have to fulfill our responsibility as guards. We can't allow any more accidents to happen. "

Song Chaocheng encouraged the crowd. At this moment, a tall and skinny middle-aged Daoist walked past them and entered the Heaven Hall without attracting their attention.

"Daoist Zhao, you're here!"

At the entrance of the hall, Ji Yang saw Gu Chen and greeted him enthusiastically.

Gu Chen walked forward unhurriedly and the two of them walked in side by side. He asked casually, "Is it done?"

Ji Yang immediately revealed an awkward smile and explained, "Daoist Zhao, it's not that I didn't do anything after receiving the money. It's just that there are too many important people here today, and I really couldn't make arrangements."

Gu Chen's expression immediately turned gloomy when he heard this. "Oh? I wonder who those important people are? The Heaven Hall's box isn't small, right? Can't you even arrange a place for us to stay? "

"Daoist Zhao, you might not know this, but other than Madam Du, only the Great Sages and a few important guests can enter the box today. Other than them, even I am not qualified to enter. Madam Du has instructed me not to let anyone spoil the Great Sages' mood. "Ji Yang smiled bitterly.

"Oh? Which Great Sages are they? Tell me so that I can be convinced. "

Gu Chen snorted coldly. Ji Yang's eyes flashed with surprise.

He had interacted with this Zhao Qiu many times. Although he was generous, he didn't seem to have a powerful background. As for his cultivation, he should only be at the Sage level.

However, his tone was a little arrogant. He had already used the name of a Great Sage, yet he still wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Could it be that this guy's background was more powerful than he had imagined?

This wasn't something impossible, so Ji Yang explained the situation to Zhang Xuan as much as he could.

"I'm sure Daoist Zhao has heard of the five Great Sages who fought in the Earth Second Hall the day before yesterday, right? In addition to Great Sage Zhuge of the Sword Pavilion, the other four are Great Sage Hai Dong Xin of the Sea Clan, Great Sage Point Star of the Star Sea Sect, Great Sage Xun Zhu of the Mystical Wood Sect, and Great Sage Ruo Xu of the Divine Wander Sect. "

Gu Chen's expression was slightly unnatural. "A Great Sage of the Divine Wander Sect also came? This sect is said to be very mysterious and rarely moves around. "

"Great Sage Ruo Xu of the Divine Wander Sect is the most distinguished guest this time. As you know, the Divine Wander Realm opened by the Divine Wander Sect is very popular. As a result, the Divine Wander Sect is overflowing with wealth. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the richest sect in the Dao World. It was not easy to invite him this time."

Ji Yang observed Gu Chen's expression as he spoke. He sneered secretly when he saw that Gu Chen's expression had obviously become unnatural after hearing about the Great Sages' background.

He had thought that Gu Chen was hiding some powerful background, but it turned out that he had no self-awareness.

In order to make Gu Chen retreat, he whispered again, "In addition to these five Great Sages, a Great Sage of the Sacred Family also came this morning. Daoist Zhao should have heard of the Sacred Family, right?"
