In the following days, Xunuo and Ji Zenghui simply shut themselves in. Luo Xuefeng and Dongfang Yunqing occasionally wandered around the Trade Fair, while the Black Wind Old Monster busied himself at the Trade Fair every day.
The Dome Mountain Trade Fair lasted for thirty days. When half of the event had passed, Xunuo finally emerged from his room and began to roam around the Trade Fair again. This was because Xunuo had discovered that Wu Jiadi had left the Trade Fair and was not returning.
Having survived several life-and-death encounters, Xunuo had relied heavily on the power of Talismans. Therefore, he lingered at the Talisman market for a few days, opening his eyes to the fact that Talismans were not limited to just attack, defense, and flight; there were all sorts of strange Talismans available. Based on his needs, Xunuo purchased a batch of Sound Transmission Talismans, Invisibility Talismans, Concealment Talismans, and more.
Afterward, he went to Magic Array City to have repaired the wood-element array he obtained from defeating the Goat Elder. This array, when used in conjunction with the one given by Zuo Qiu Jian Ying, would greatly enhance its cloaking effect.
A few days later, as the Trade Fair entered its final phase, a large magic array appeared in the center of the venue, pushing various stalls aside. This was where the highlight of the Dome Mountain Trade Fair would take place: an auction.
At this auction, the Ancestor of the Jin Family in Foundation Establishment Stage would personally attend to lend support. Upon hearing that a Foundation Establishment Ancestor would be present, Xunuo decisively abandoned any thoughts of joining in on the excitement and decided to wait until the auction ended before leaving.
Dongfang Yunqing invited Xunuo to stay at his mountain residence. With no suitable place to stay at the moment, Xunuo agreed, which inadvertently tied him closer to Dongfang Yunqing.
However, Dongfang Yunqing and others entered the auction. Each participant was given a hat that shielded their Divine Sense upon entry. This prevented others from recognizing who they were trading with and served as a protective measure for bidders, ensuring they wouldn’t be targeted for robbery after leaving Jin Family.
Yet, Dongfang Yunqing and Ji Zenghui only participated for one day before withdrawing. Each entry into the auction required a fee of one spirit stone. On the first day alone, five Unity Pills were auctioned off at an astonishing price of one hundred fifty spirit stones each. This blow was devastating for Ji Zenghui and Luo Xuefeng. In fact, it prompted Luo Xuefeng to resolve to venture into Chaotic Valley.
Even Dongfang Yunqing felt that a trip to Chaotic Valley a year later was inevitable since it would no longer be possible to purchase Unity Pills with spirit stones. The Qi Guoren organization’s current activity might be one of their most promising endeavors in recent years. Dongfang Yunqing still held considerable confidence in Qi Guoren.
Before long, as the auction concluded, cultivators began packing their belongings and returning home. Those who attended the Dome Mountain Golden Family Trading Conference left in waves like birds taking flight from a forest—an impressive sight indeed. Xunuo and his four companions hurriedly followed the crowd in one direction.
Half a day later, at the foot of a mountain, Black Wind Old Monster suddenly halted his steps and activated his Protective Shield spell. In an instant, seven figures appeared around them, surrounding Xunuo and his companions. Almost immediately, Xunuo flipped his hands and unleashed defensive spells along with Attack Talismans simultaneously. Two Attack Talismans struck two cultivators, creating an opening through which they escaped. Just as Dongfang Yunqing managed to activate his flight and defense Talismans, he saw that Xunuo had already flown several feet ahead and hurriedly followed after him.
The two cultivators targeted by Xunuo were at levels eight and nine; they dodged his attacks while cursing loudly as they pursued him closely behind.
Luo Xuefeng and Ji Zenghui moved slowly, but they managed to create a gap and swiftly flew away. However, before Luo Xuefeng could escape, he performed a shocking act. He launched a Groundquake Talisman at Black Wind Old Monster, causing the latter to be struck down just as he was about to flee.
Two experts at the Eleventh Layer closely followed Luo and Ji, urgently pursuing them.
Black Wind Old Monster did not expect that this time the group would escape even more smoothly. He was also taken aback by Luo Xuefeng's sudden attack, clearly indicating that they were well-prepared.
Meanwhile, the remaining three experts at the Eleventh Layer had surrounded him completely. In particular, the leader, Shadowless Crane of Death, had an astonishingly fast spirit beast that outpaced the Intermediate Flight Talisman. Black Wind Old Monster abandoned any thoughts of escape, summoning three defensive light circles around himself as he faced the three with a cold demeanor.
Reaper Cui cackled mockingly, "Black Wind Old Monster, I didn’t expect your hired help to not only flee quickly but also excel at kicking someone when they’re down. It seems you’re destined to meet your end here today."
Black Wind Old Monster was infuriated by Luo Xuefeng's actions and even more so by Reaper Cui's taunts. His face darkened as he replied, "Reaper Cui, you’ve gone to great lengths to invite Meng's Twin Killers from Great Wilderness Mountain. However, thinking you can keep me here is a grave miscalculation."
Finished Speaking revealed a Golden Remnant Blade over a foot long in his hand. With a surge of mana, Black Wind Old Monster sent the Golden Remnant Blade soaring into the air, transforming it into a Golden Giant Blade over ten feet long in an instant.
The three encircling Black Wind Old Monster gasped in unison, "A magical artifact!" They frantically slapped various defensive talismans onto themselves.
With a ferocious expression, Black Wind Old Monster pointed at Reaper Cui and commanded, "Cut."
Fear flashed across Reaper Cui's face as he leaped off his mount. He slapped his Shadowless Crane beneath him and shouted, "Go." The Shadowless Crane spread its wings and charged toward the Golden Giant Blade. At the same time, its long feathers transformed into countless arrows that collided with the Golden Giant Blade. After a cacophony of sounds, the Golden Giant Blade merely paused slightly before slicing through the arrows and descending upon Shadowless Crane.
The two cultivators flanking Black Wind Old Monster saw that he had not attacked them first. They took a deep breath and unleashed their Attack Talismans and Spells simultaneously. They aimed for a decisive strike, unwilling to give Black Wind Old Monster another chance to retaliate. They understood well that while their defensive talismans were sturdy, they were no match for magical artifacts.
Before their various Attack Talismans and Spells could reach Black Wind Old Monster, the Golden Giant Blade had already struck Shadowless Crane. The crane’s greatest strength lay in its ability to conceal itself; flying was not its forte, and its offensive and defensive capabilities were even weaker.
However, the beast’s formidable physique allowed it to extend its massive claws and fiercely grasp at the incoming Golden Giant Blade. A loud crack echoed as one of its claws was severed in half. The other claw desperately clawed at the blade, managing to deflect it away. With a piercing cry, Shadowless Crane plummeted sideways and crashed to the ground, motionless thereafter.
The Shadowless Crane of Death, named after the Shadowless Crane, was cherished as if it were life itself. Now, seeing the Shadowless Crane in such a dire state, uncertainty clouded its fate, and grief surged within, causing blood to well up in the eyes.
At that moment, two Cultivators unleashed their Attack Talismans and Spells upon the Black Wind Old Monster. In an instant, the three defensive Talismans forming a protective shield around the Black Wind Old Monster were shattered. However, when the residual force of the attacking Spells and Talismans struck the Black Wind Old Monster's magical barrier, it merely caused the barrier to shake violently without breaking through.
The Black Wind Old Monster let out a sinister laugh, reaching for several defensive Talismans with one hand and slapping them onto himself. With a finger pointed at Reaper Cui, he bellowed, "Slash."
Upon hearing this command, Reaper Cui was terrified to the core. Ignoring the pain for his spirit beast, he frantically pulled out numerous defensive Talismans and slapped them onto himself without pause.
The Golden Giant Blade emitted a piercing shriek as it sliced through the air. In the next moment, under the protection of layers of defensive Talismans, Reaper Cui remained unscathed. However, on the other side, an Eleven Layers expert Cultivator let out a horrific scream as his body was cleaved in half, his Vitality extinguished.
This series of attacks transpired in an instant, yet one expert had already perished in the Underworld.
Seeing his brother fall dead on the spot, one of Meng's Twin Killers felt no desire for revenge. The power of the magical artifact was beyond his ability to withstand, filling him with dread and thoughts of retreat.
Meanwhile, Reaper Cui noticed that the Black Wind Old Monster was not targeting him and breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing that his companion might flee in fear, he quickly said, "Meng Dao You, do not be afraid. The old thief Black Wind's magical artifact has consumed a great deal of his power; he can only strike once more at most. We must join forces to kill him this time. Otherwise, given his nature, if we let him escape today, there will be no way for us to survive tomorrow."
The Meng Clan Cultivator's eyes turned red with determination. Gritting his teeth, he replied, "What you say is true, Reaper Cui. Let us fight to the death today."
As he spoke, the Meng Clan Cultivator radiated Yellow Light and Azure Radiance as he prepared for their final struggle.
