Chapter 3795: 赤燕坊市(今天没了)

"Attend an auction on the Murong family's territory?" Wang Changsheng's eyebrows twitched. They didn't know True Immortal Feiyu's route, making it difficult to follow him. It would be better to wait for him on the Murong family's territory.

"Tell me your plan!" Wang Changsheng said.

"Let's 'wait for the rabbit by the stump'. We'll head to the Murong family's territory first. It would be better to act outside the market, and even if we fail, it's not a big deal. The Murong family doesn't harbor enmity towards the Nine Immortal Sect. If we disguise ourselves, they might not discover us," Wang Chuanming explained his plan.

"Then that's what we'll do. Chuanming, you'll come with me," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Ancestor, surely you don't need to personally handle this! Ancestor Qingfeng, Ancestor Yidao, and Ancestor Lihe can all go," Wang Chuanming suggested. The Wang family now had many talented individuals, so Wang Changsheng didn't need to do everything himself. Wang Qingfeng, Wang Lihe, and Wang Yidao were all mid-stage True Immortals, with Wang Yidao and Wang Qingfeng having opened four apertures.

"If he were a mid-stage True Immortal, I would let you handle it. It's better to be cautious. If we fail, it will cause significant trouble." Wang Changsheng's voice was grave. For matters like this, it was either not done, or it had to be done without fail. If True Immortal Feiyu escaped, it would lead to considerable trouble.

Hearing this, Wang Chuanming said nothing more. Wang Changsheng, accompanied by Wang Chan, Wang Mengli, Wang Huanyu, Wang Tunian, Wang Yang, and Wang Chuanming, left Green Lotus Island. Wang Yang and Wang Mengli were already mid-stage True Immortals, and both had opened three apertures.

Scarlet Swallow Market was a bustling market established by the Murong family, attracting merchants and travelers with its abundant cultivation resources. The Murong family held a significant territory on the Chaos Continent, from which they brought back numerous cultivation resources. A portion of these were sold at Scarlet Swallow Market, contributing to its prosperity.

In the center of the market stood a thirty-six-story red pagoda. The words "Scarlet Swallow Pagoda" were carved onto its body, glowing with spiritual light and making it highly conspicuous. Scarlet Swallow Pagoda was the largest shop in the market, offering a wide variety of goods, with many cultivators constantly coming and going.

On the thirty-fifth floor, a graceful young woman in a purple dress and a rosy-faced old man in a golden robe were conversing. The old man in the golden robe held a golden jade box containing a small black flower.

"A Sky Soul Flower over 500,000 years old. If refined into a pill and consumed, the divine soul can be greatly strengthened. Where did this person obtain it?" the old man in the golden robe asked. This was Murong Youguang, a late-stage True Immortal and a first-rank Immortal Alchemist.

"A few rogue cultivators in the True Immortal stage found it in the Soulfall Sea, discovering it by chance. To obtain this Sky Soul Flower, two True Immortal cultivators died beneath the Soulfall Wind," the young woman in the purple dress explained. This was Murong Yuyun, an early-stage True Immortal.

The Soulfall Sea was a dangerous area within the Heaven's Dawn Sea. Soulfall Ethereal Wind frequently swept through it; True Immortal cultivators struck by this wind would suffer soul damage at best, or have their souls extinguished at worst. Besides the Soulfall Ethereal Wind, there were also natural spatial restrictions, making it possible for True Immortal cultivators to perish there. Cultivators generally avoided seeking resources in that area unless absolutely necessary. A few True Immortal cultivators, fleeing their pursuers, escaped into the Soulfall Sea and unexpectedly discovered the 500,000-year-old Sky Soul Flower, which they sold to the Murong family in exchange for cultivation resources.

"The Soulfall Sea is indeed dangerous; they were truly lucky. I'll head back to refine pills now. I hope the auction will yield the core materials needed to refine a mid-grade Immortal Exterminator Cannon," Murong Youguang said, then stood up and left. After exiting the Scarlet Swallow Pagoda, he quickened his pace.

About a quarter of an hour later, he appeared on a sparsely populated street, a residential area. A tall young man in a blue shirt walked towards him. Murong Youguang glanced at the young man, then dismissed him as they passed each other. The young man in the blue shirt turned his head to look at Murong Youguang, a thoughtful expression on his face. This was Wang Changsheng, disguised. They had rushed to Scarlet Swallow Market as quickly as possible but had not yet found True Immortal Feiyu. With a few days remaining until the auction, Wang Tunian and others were searching for True Immortal Feiyu throughout the market.

Shortly after, Wang Changsheng stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard with green tiles. He took out a green token, deactivated the restriction, pushed open the gate, and entered. Inside the courtyard were a two-story green pavilion and a green stone pavilion. Wang Changsheng walked into the stone pavilion and sat down.

He took out a blue communication disk, infused it with a spell, and Wang Chuanming's voice rang out: "Ancestor, I suspect True Immortal Feiyu has arrived disguised. That fellow knows Yang Hai hired assassins to kill him, so he's definitely on guard." They had been in the market for over half a month, searching everywhere for True Immortal Feiyu, but had found no trace of him. This was strange; if True Immortal Feiyu truly intended to attend the auction at Scarlet Swallow Market, he should have arrived much earlier. Either he was delayed, or he had changed his appearance.

"You should get to know a few more True Immortal cultivators and attend some gatherings to see if you can find any of True Immortal Feiyu's friends or acquaintances," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Chuanming replied.

Putting away the communication disk, Wang Changsheng flipped his right hand, and with a flash of golden light, a dazzling golden orb appeared in his palm. It was the mid-grade immortal artifact, the Golden Hao Orb, obtained from the Sky Beast Sect. The Golden Hao Orb could see through illusions and transformation techniques, meaning that if True Immortal Feiyu had indeed changed his appearance, he would have nowhere to hide before it.

Three days quickly passed. Early on this day, a long line formed at the entrance of Scarlet Swallow Palace. It was the day of the auction, and cultivators were lining up to enter the venue. On the adjacent street, a nine-story golden pavilion bore a plaque with the characters "Immortal's Welcome Pavilion," indicating it was a teahouse. On the ninth floor, in a private room, Wang Changsheng stood by the open window. Following his gaze, one could clearly see the cultivators lining up to enter Scarlet Swallow Palace. He held the Golden Hao Orb in his palm, and it shimmered brightly. "As expected, he changed his appearance. He's a cautious one," Wang Changsheng scoffed, then took out a blue magical disk, infused it with a spell, and made some gestures.

About a quarter of an hour later, the cultivators entered Scarlet Swallow Palace to participate in the auction. Wang Changsheng did not go inside; he sent Wang Chuanming, Wang Tunian, and Wang Chan instead.

Over half a day later, the auction concluded, and cultivators gradually emerged from Scarlet Swallow Palace. Wang Changsheng held the Golden Hao Orb in one hand, searching for True Immortal Feiyu. "He changed his appearance again. How cunning," Wang Changsheng sneered, then took out a blue-glowing magical disk, infused it with a spell, made some gestures, and walked out.

He arrived at the market exit, just as he saw a blue-robed old man of medium build walking towards it. Wang Changsheng showed no unusual reactions and remained at the market entrance.

After exiting the market, the blue-robed old man transformed into a streak of blue light and soared away. Not long after, Wang Changsheng and his group also left the market. Wang Changsheng summoned his Jade Bi Skiff and stepped onto it, with Wang Chuanming and the others following closely behind.
