Chapter 282: Bodhi Body Incarnation
If there was only one Po Zong Dan, Mo Tianxing might choose the safer seventh-grade Restoring Life Pill because the risk was too great.
But with the Lingxi Baoyuan Pill as a guarantee, he was willing to take the risk. After all, such a combination provided him with a certain degree of protection.
Seeing that Mo Tianxing had made the decision, Qi Shan didn't say anything more. He just nodded slightly and silently took a few steps back to show that he respected the sect leader's decision.
Xiao Ling walked out of the beam of light slowly, his face was not concealed at all, and was directly exposed to everyone's eyes. However, his face was as calm as water, and no matter how the onlookers looked at him, they could not read any information from his expression.
As Xiao Ling appeared, the people around him began to whisper, but Xiao Ling seemed unaffected. He walked calmly, as if the discussions around him had nothing to do with him.
After Xiao Ling left, some people still stepped into the light column with hope, but most people eventually left with disappointed expressions, lowering their heads and looking a little depressed. Obviously, the Black Emperor Sect's pickyness about the exchange items exceeded their expectations.
……
"What's the situation?" When Xiao Yixian saw Xiao Ling returning, she casually glanced at the people who were still going in and out of the light column, and then asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, the Bodhi Body Saliva will be ours soon." Xiao Ling answered easily, with a hint of smile in his tone, "We just need to wait for the Black Emperor Sect to complete the transaction and hand the things over to us. Besides, who can snatch things from us?"
Xiao Ling smiled faintly, he remembered the unconcealable joy on Mo Tianxing's face. As long as Mo Tianxing was not a fool, he would know how to choose the best option for him.
Hearing Xiao Ling say this, Xiao Yixian, although she already knew what was going on, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She believed that as long as Xiao Ling took action, things would always be solved smoothly.
……
Although the main part of the auction was coming to an end, almost no one chose to leave.
Just like you can't give up halfway when doing something, you have to watch the excitement to the end. Even those who didn't participate in the auction were very interested and wanted to see who would end up with this treasure.
Not long after Xiao Ling returned to the box, about fifteen minutes later, the light beams around the auction table began to gradually fade until they disappeared completely, exposing the situation inside the table to everyone's eyes once again.
"Everyone, after careful selection, our Black Emperor Sect has made the final decision." Mo Tianxing's voice was filled with a hint of smile. His eyes swept around the venue, and his tone was a bit mysterious.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall immediately became tense and quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Tianxing, with curiosity and expectation flashing in their eyes, waiting for him to announce the final result.
With everyone's attention focused on him, Mo Tianxing smiled and announced in a loud voice: "After in-depth discussions with the elders of the sect, our Black Emperor Sect has decided on the final winner of this auction, and that is..."
He paused deliberately, as if enjoying the suspense of the moment. Until the audience's expectations reached their peak, he suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed directly at the box where Xiao Ling was.
"Mr. Tang San!"
As soon as this name came out, the atmosphere in the auction hall froze instantly. Some people in the VIP seats sneered, and several sharp eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling, the greed in their eyes almost turned into tangible flames.
Mo Tianxing, who was standing on the auction table, naturally felt the subtle changes in the atmosphere.
"Everyone, don't forget, this is Black Emperor City!" His voice suddenly became stern, with unquestionable majesty, "I don't care what you are thinking, I only have one principle: whoever dares to cause trouble in the city, don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, Mo Tianxing's smile disappeared, replaced by a chill. His Dou Zong aura quietly released, like an invisible pressure, covering the entire auction venue.
Under the pressure of Mo Tianxing's powerful aura, some of the strong men in the field restrained their edge on the surface, but the murderous intent in their hearts did not diminish.
Especially several Dou Zong masters like Old Man Yingshan, they didn’t say much, but just stood up silently and left the auction house quietly.
There was an unspoken message in their eyes: although they could not act rashly within the Black Emperor City, it would be a different matter once they left the city.
Everyone present understood the warning in Mo Tianxing's words. They knew that although they needed to abide by the rules within the Black Emperor City, once they stepped out of the city gate, those unresolved grudges and greedy desires might erupt at any time. At that time, only their own strength would have the final say.
In the box, Xiao Ling naturally felt those malicious gazes, but he and his companions did not feel uneasy. Instead, everyone had a smug smile on their face because their goal had been achieved.
Although there were powerful auras and soul imprints locking onto them, Xiao Ling didn't care at all, and even allowed them to fall on him somewhat provocatively.
In his opinion, the more these gazes and imprints he gets, the better, because it means that the subsequent harvest will be richer.
For Xiao Ling, he never refuses such challenges and opportunities.
He knew in his heart that these troubles were unavoidable. The entire Black Emperor City must be under tight surveillance, but Xiao Ling was not worried because he was ready to deal with everything. Everything was going according to his plan.
At the auction table, Mo Tianxing still had a smile on his face, seemingly unaware of the subtle and tense atmosphere in the VIP seats.
He announced in a relaxed tone: "Now, the Bodhi Body Saliva has found its new owner, and our Black Emperor Sect's auction has come to a successful conclusion. In the next few days, the Black Emperor Sect will hold a grand banquet. If you are interested, you may wish to stay and participate and share the joy."
"As for those distinguished guests who have successfully bid for items, you are welcome to visit the Black Emperor Sect in the next two days. We will hand over your auction items to you intact there."
Although Mo Tianxing's words sounded very enthusiastic, the experts in the field did not really intend to stay. They knew that it was just a polite remark.
The powerful men from various forces in the box walked out one after another. Most of them just nodded slightly, then turned around and left without hesitation, each busy with their next plans.
In another box.
Feeling the atmosphere in the auction hall, Xiao Yan was able to see the clues. He knew in his heart that after Xiao Ling obtained the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, he would definitely become the focus of attention of many forces.
He turned to Elder Huo and asked, "Teacher, what should we do next? Should we go back to Canaan College with cousin Xiao Ling and the others?"
Elder Huo smiled faintly, stroked his beard, and said calmly: "No need. With the strength of Xiao Ling and his men, those people can't even think of taking anything from them. Let's deal with the auction first, and then wait outside the city. When we are really needed, we will act."
"The fun has just begun. The next period of time may be even more thrilling. The competition between Dou Zongs is a rare learning opportunity for you."
Elder Huo has full confidence in the strength of Xiao Ling and his team, and he does not think that Xiao Ling will need his help.
After hearing Elder Huo's words, Xiao Yan also glanced at the box where Xiao Ling was, then followed Elder Huo's steps and left the auction site.
The auction house that was bustling not long ago suddenly became empty, with only echoes echoing in the air. At this time, Xiao Ling and his companions stepped onto the auction stage together, preparing to hand over the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
As Xiao Ling and his team approached, Mo Tianxing calmly checked the cultivation levels of the four female companions behind Xiao Ling and found that they were all powerful warriors at the peak of the Douhuang level. He then withdrew his perception without revealing much emotion on his face.
When Xiao Ling came in front of Mo Tianxing, the smile on Mo Tianxing's face became slightly serious, and he pretended to be worried about Xiao Ling.
"Sir, I'm afraid the outside of the city is now full of dangers," Mo Tianxing said with a heavy tone, "However, our Black Emperor Sect still has some prestige in the Black Horn Region. If you are willing, you can stay in our territory for a few more days. As long as you are in Black Emperor City, I can guarantee that no one will dare to harm you."
His expression was full of worry, and if you didn't know his past and development history, you might really think he was a kind-hearted elder.
Xiao Ling was not to be outdone, and immediately showed his acting skills, with a grateful expression on his face, but his tone was firm: "I appreciate Master Mo's kindness, but we have urgent matters to deal with, so we must leave as soon as possible. As for safety issues, Master, please don't worry about it. We are willing to fight for survival, and I believe we will always find a glimmer of hope."
His words reveal a kind of perseverance, as if he would not give up easily even in the face of great difficulties. This attitude can't help but remind people of those warriors who pursue their goals at all costs.
Mo Tianxing looked at Xiao Ling's determined look and sneered in his heart. He wondered if this person really understood the dangers of the Black Horn Region. But he pretended to be helpless on his face, with a hint of regret in his tone: "Since you have made up your mind, I can only wish you a safe journey."
He knew that it was futile to continue talking, so he stopped talking, sighed softly, and began to handle the handover procedures. Although the two of them were polite on the surface, they both understood each other and were calculating slowly in their hearts.
Xiao Ling took out two exquisite porcelain bottles from his sleeves, which contained the Po Zong Dan and Ling Xi Bao Yuan Dan, and handed them to Mo Tianxing. Mo Tianxing also carefully took out a box from his arms, which contained the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, and handed it to Xiao Ling.
Although the atmosphere between the two men was slightly tense and they were both wary of each other, the transaction went extremely smoothly.
Xiao Ling put the box into his ring, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Mo Tianxing in a calm tone: "Master Mo, the transaction has been successfully completed. We will say goodbye now."
Mo Tianxing also responded politely: "Mr. Tang San, I hope we can have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
After watching Xiao Ling and his group disappear completely from his sight, Mo Tianxing waved his hand and summoned Mo Ya. "Go and notify all the Dou Wang and above people in the Black Emperor Sect to prepare to follow me out of the city. We are going to watch a good show." There was a hint of command in Mo Tianxing's voice that could not be questioned.
Mo Ya nodded respectfully and responded firmly, "Father, I understand. I will arrange it myself and ensure that everything goes according to your wishes."
Mo Tianxing nodded with satisfaction, and then added: "After gathering the people, don't rush to act. Let them wait until they hear movement outside the city before setting off. Also, let them change into black robes to hide their identities. In the Black Horn Region, although everyone knows it, it is still necessary to cover up on the surface."
There was a hint of cunning in his tone as he continued, "Just like the old saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Today is the perfect time, it's time for the orioles to spread their wings and fly high. We either don't act, or once we act, we must become the most eye-catching one!"
……
On the outskirts of Black Emperor City, a solitary peak stood tall on the vast land, its outline standing out in the night. There was no light in the sky, and the dark clouds covered the sky, obscuring the brilliance of the moon and stars, immersing the entire mountain in a deep darkness.
On the top of the mountain, the wind howled, rolling up the sand and dust, forming whirlwinds that swirled and danced around the mountain. The sand grains rubbed against each other in the wind, making a rustling sound, like countless whispers echoing in the ears, or like the whispers of some unknown creature.
This sound is particularly clear in the silent night, adding a sense of mystery and uneasiness.
The vegetation around is sparse, with a few twisted tree trunks swaying in the wind occasionally. Their shadows are stretched out long on the ground, changing with the wind, as if they are dancing a strange dance.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
Just at this moment, a breeze blew by, and four figures suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, three women and one man, they were Xiao Ling and his group.
Just as they gained their footing, several powerful auras surged over like a tide, bringing with them a terrifying pressure that caused some people who were just there to watch to involuntarily lower their heads.
Under the current circumstances, watching the game also requires strength. Without sufficient strength, you are not even qualified to watch.
However, when this powerful aura approached Xiao Ling, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier a few feet in front of him and was easily dissolved, just like snow melting quickly when encountering flames.
Xiao Ling stood at the front of the team, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his eyes fixed firmly on the front. His face was calm, like a bottomless well, with a calm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zi Yan and Medusa stood on either side of him, their bodies surrounded by purple and colorful fighting spirit and energy fluctuations, and it was obvious that they were ready to fight at any time.
A little further behind them, the Little Medical Fairy stood quietly, with wisps of gray gas lingering around her, adding a bit of mystery to her.
Xiao Ling's voice rang out on the top of the mountain, clear and firm, penetrating the whistling wind and sand and spreading across the entire mountain. "Everyone, I believe you all know that the Bodhi Transformation Saliva is now in my hands."
He paused, looked around, and continued, "Whoever wants it, feel free to come and grab it. But I want to remind you, once you make a move, you must be prepared to lose your life."
Xiao Ling's words echoed on the mountain, but surprisingly did not cause any action. Although the powerful men around were lurking in the dark, each of them had ulterior motives, they did not act rashly, and no one wanted to be the first target.
According to the information they already knew, Xiao Ling himself was a Dou Zong-level warrior, and the three female companions behind him were equally powerful. In this case, if they were not sure enough, acting rashly would be tantamount to seeking their own death.
As for the several Dou Zong masters present, they were all watching each other, with their own calculations in mind. They were worried that even if they successfully snatched the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, they might become the target of sneak attacks by other masters due to their fatigue after the battle.
Facing the powerful people lurking around who were reluctant to take action, Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "It seems that none of you have the courage to take the lead. In this case, I will not accompany you." There was a hint of provocation in his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling took a step forward without hesitation, ready to lead his companions away from here.
Just as Xiao Ling and the others were about to leave, the powerful men in the dark began to communicate frantically through voice transmission. After some intense discussions, several Dou Zong masters, including Fang Yan and Old Man Yingshan, temporarily formed an alliance, which almost included the power of all the masters present.
Suddenly, with a loud "boom", a fiery red streak shot out from the darkness and headed straight towards Xiao Ling and the others, like a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky, not only dispelling the darkness around them, but also cutting off their way.
"Haha, Mr. Tang San, we meet again. It has been more than a year since we last met. Thanks to your Po Zong Dan, I was able to break through to the Dou Zong realm. How could I forget this kindness?" A voice sounded with a bit of joking, "I wonder if you can honor me by visiting the Devil Flame Valley, so that I can show my hospitality and express my gratitude for helping me break through?"
As the voice echoed, Fang Yan's figure gradually appeared under the dim sky. He exuded the powerful aura unique to a Dou Zong powerhouse, as if even the air around him was trembling because of his existence.
On both sides of him, the second elder and the third elder of the Demon Flame Valley followed closely behind him like shadows, their eyes were as sharp as knives and their aura was intimidating.
Behind them, five elders from the Demon Flame Valley lined up one after another, each of them exuding a powerful Douhuang-level aura. Their presence made the night sky seem even more depressing.
