Chapter 305

That was a dark era for the major forces.

It was like a king of the forest had suddenly died. Without a leader, some monkeys jumped out. They wanted to call themselves king, but they also had to face the attacks of the other kings of the forest.

In the dark and chaotic era, many experts died. The local forces were no match for the foreign forces.

As for those forces that had only been established for a thousand years, they were at most a group of monkeys that had not yet grown up. How could they fight against a fierce tiger?

In that era, the local forces suffered heavy casualties. The battle was one-sided from the start.

At that time, a person appeared in the southern region.

Ao Baichuan, a mysterious expert. No one knew where he came from, and no one knew which force he belonged to.

When the local forces were no match for him, he appeared. He was dressed in black and was extremely imposing. He was like a giant of heaven and earth, blocking all the attacks of the foreign forces.

He was surrounded by one hundred and eight large flags. They shone brightly and emitted a terrifying aura. The large flags swayed in the air, forming a terrifying killing formation with peerless power.

On that day, the sky changed color. The wind swept the clouds, and the large flags fluttered. An incomparably terrifying aura surged.

The wind whistled, like the cry of ghosts and the howl of wolves. It emitted a suction force, and the experts of the foreign forces were all swept into the formation. The sound of wind and thunder resounded. Bolts of heavenly lightning fell, and a destructive aura rippled.

It was like a scene of the end of the world.

One hundred and eight large flags scattered in the air, floating and flashing with light. This lasted for half a month. During this time, miserable screams and cries for help rang out continuously.

Half a month later, the formation became quiet. Ao Baichuan put away the large flags. There were no survivors in the formation. It was a tragic scene of hell on earth.

The corpses piled up into a small mountain, and the blood turned into an ocean. It was a miserable scene. None of the experts in the formation survived.

On the day the large flags were put away, a wave of resentment surged out from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. It was like an angry dragon that soared into the sky. A sinister wind blew in the surroundings, and it was incomparably dark. This lasted for a few days before all the resentment dissipated.

Ao Baichuan's move also intimidated all the external forces.

However, there were also experts who appeared to challenge Ao Baichuan. After that, a fierce battle broke out. That battle had almost destroyed a part of the world. One expert after another fell. Ao Baichuan's attainments in formations were very deep, and he was even stronger. During the chaos nine thousand years ago, he had practically single-handedly protected all the major powers.

The southern region was protected.

That was how the name of the butcher came about.

At that time, Ao Baichuan was invincible in the southern region. He was also worthy of being called the number one person in the southern region. However, after the turmoil, Ao Baichuan disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of him since then.

However, during the Age of Turmoil, there was also an external force that had successfully integrated into the southern region. That was the current Assassin Pavilion.

These were all secrets. Only the major forces that had experienced that battle would have records of them.

Today, when he said it out loud, it caused an uproar.

"Even such an expert has fallen." Everyone sighed.

The number one person in the southern region at that time, with strong battle strength and profound attainments in formations, had actually fallen.

"The butcher's battle strength was very strong. It was said that in that battle, there were even Heaven realm experts who died. However, he himself was not a Heaven realm expert." Liu Chen revealed another shocking secret.

Wang Qiong nodded. He recalled carefully and seemed to have seen such records in ancient books.

"Not a Heaven realm expert, but he had the strength to kill a Heaven realm expert." Everyone was dumbfounded. Weren't Heaven realm experts known as the strongest in the world with unparalleled battle strength?

The butcher was too terrifying. Everyone had not experienced that era, but they could imagine that many experts had appeared, but they were all killed by the butcher alone. Their corpses were everywhere.

His heroic bearing and breadth of mind were admirable.

"Only a butcher's burial ground would have such a terrifying formation. Even after so many years, its power is still the same. Even if we fly in, we have to be careful." After sighing, everyone returned to reality.

"This time, our Liu family has also investigated several times before finally confirming that that is the burial ground of the butcher," Liu Chen said.

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

If it was really the burial ground of the butcher, then what would be inside?

Clearly, the inheritance of the butcher not only contained the battle skills to kill Heaven realm experts, but also the inheritance of formations.

In the southern region, the few major factions did not comprehend formations. It was not that they did not want to comprehend formations, but that they did not have any. As for formations, there were very few of them.

The Everlasting Sect was the root cause of the Age of Chaos. Such a large sect had suddenly disappeared. Many of its treasures and inheritances had become the target of jealousy. Many ancient books and secret manuals on formations had disappeared during the Age of Chaos.

Although the local factions of the southern region survived, many of their resources were plundered by external factions.

This time, the appearance of the butcher's burial ground would definitely cause a huge commotion. Liu Chen was clearly informing them now.

"Everything else about the remnant is top secret. I don't know much about it. After the auction, the elders of the family will tell us," Liu Chen said.

"When will the auction begin?" Everyone asked.

"In three days," Liu Chen said.

"In addition to the matter of the butcher, there is also the matter of the remnant. We have prepared many clues and are preparing to share them with the major factions."

With that, Liu Chen did not say anything else.

As for the other demonic geniuses, they could no longer sit still. They all took their leave.

"Humph! Be careful," Geng Le threatened as he left.

A cold light flashed in Chu Lie's eyes as well.

"You all have to be careful as well. Obediently follow behind your elders. Otherwise, when one of you runs out, you will get killed," Zi Chen said with a cold snort.

This was a major matter. The major factions needed to return and report it. Furthermore, some of the true experts would definitely attend the auction three days later.

Zi Chen had no confidence in his heart. This auction was organized by the Liu Clan, and it was targeted at the major forces. After the auction, there was also a big piece of news about the ruins. As such, he could imagine that the major forces would definitely give face to the Liu Clan and give a satisfactory price for these items.

When Zi Chen returned to the inn, Ah Tian was still cultivating diligently. Zi Chen told him everything.

"The butcher, Ao Baichuan." Ah Tian frowned. He had never heard of this expert before.

"He is an expert from nine thousand years ago," Zi Chen explained.

The two discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. Helpless, they could only cultivate first and wait until the auction.

On the second day, the news of the butcher spread. Furthermore, the legend of the butcher spread throughout Yongqi City, letting more people know about it.

As a result, the number of experts attracted was even more.

The butcher was very famous nine thousand years ago. He was fully deserving of being the strongest person. At that time, all the major factions had not matured yet. He alone suppressed all of them.

His strong combat prowess caused a commotion nine thousand years later.

The three major factions of the seven major cities were practically clueless about Primal Formations. The appearance of the butcher's burial ground meant that there might be an inheritance there. This was an opportunity.

Aside from the inheritance of formations, the butcher's combat prowess was strong. Naturally, he also had many strong Combat Techniques, attracting the attention of countless people.

In just a few days, Cangli City was packed with people. All the inns, big and small, were full. All the shops made a lot of money.

Just as the enormous Yongqi City was unable to hold any more people, the auction finally began.

This was a four-story auction house that belonged to the Liu family. Usually, it would only open once every few months. Sometimes, it would open once a year. However, when it opened today, it was packed with people. There were no empty seats.

Almost all the experts of the seven major cities and three major factions had come. There was no lack of powerful old monsters.

Furthermore, it was said that the finale of this auction was a Pill Weapon. This was something that even the major factions were jealous of. It was almost priceless. Many people had come for it.

The Liu family of Yongqi City specialized in refining weapons. The Pill Weapon that they brought out this time was naturally extraordinary.

The people of the major factions all had their own private seats. Various monstrous geniuses walked in one after another.

Zi Chen came alone as usual. Ah Tian also left Yongqi City early in the morning.

Today, no matter what, Zi Chen had to obtain a soul recovery herb or Pill Weapon.

The entire auction hall was very noisy. Quite a few people were excitedly discussing the auction. They had come to participate in the auction for false news. Most of them had come for the news of the historical remnant.

Because of the appearance of the auctioneer, the noisy hall became silent.

"I'm very happy that everyone can participate in this auction. I am today's auctioneer."

Following the start of the auction, the first item was brought out.

"This is a Spirit Weapon that came from the historical remnant. Through my Liu family's verification, this Spirit Weapon's quality has already reached middle grade. The starting price is twenty thousand yuan stones. Each bid cannot be less than a thousand yuan stones."

A beautiful maid came forward with a tray. As the red cloth was removed, a somber killing intent filled the air. This was a Spirit Weapon, and its quality was very high. Coming from the historical remnant added a mysterious aura to it.

"The first auction item is actually a Spirit Weapon." Quite a few people were shocked. They were filled with anticipation for this auction.

"Twenty thousand."

As soon as the Spirit Weapon appeared, someone bid. It was someone from a major power.

"Twenty thousand."

The bidding began. This was an auction that was intentionally targeted at the major powers. Naturally, they had to give them face. Everyone bid.

"Forty thousand."

After a single round, forty thousand yuan stones were sold. This price was already considered high for a Spirit Weapon.

"The second auction item is a Spirit Beast Scarlet Tiger. It's at the True Element realm and has already been tamed. It's a rare mount."

Several bare-chested large men with True Essence surging around their bodies carried a huge iron cage forward. As soon as it landed on the ground, it let out a peng sound.

Even the auction stage trembled.

"The starting price is ten thousand yuan stones."

"Eleven thousand."

"Thirteen thousand."

"Fifteen thousand."

"Twenty thousand."

The bidding began. This was a Scarlet Tiger Spirit Beast. In the past, Cangli City had auctioned one. Although it was at the Xiantian realm, it had only been sold for ten thousand yuan stones. But here, the starting price was ten thousand yuan stones.

This was a relatively unfair auction because the Liu family had deliberately raised the base price.

"Thirty five thousand."

Many major powers had come for the historical remnant. At this moment, they could only stretch out their heads and allow themselves to be slaughtered. In the end, it was sold for thirty five thousand yuan.

"Alright, it's a deal."

The auctioneer was a bit excited. This seemed to be the most successful auction she had ever completed.

"Next up is a Blue Spirit Grass. Its effect is to recover damaged Spiritual Sense. It can also strengthen it."
