Chapter 487: Decisive Battle at the Summit of the Purple Forbidden City

Zi Xiao wished he could immediately rush over and beat that native to death. How could he let his sister, a dignified saintess from a higher planet, sing "I Am a Little Bird"? It was utterly humiliating!

His face burned with shame. Their clan was descended from a divine bird, and now "I Am a Little Bird" was being sung so melodically, its ethereal voice echoing forth.

Around him, a group of people looked at Zi Xiao with strange expressions and immense sympathy, thinking that native was truly... adept at causing trouble; he could even pull this off.

"I'm going to kill him!" Zi Xia shrieked.

However, others on the Primeval Beast platform were hyped up, yelling and screaming as they frantically bid to acquire Saintess Zi Luan, who possessed such an excellent voice.

"I, an old man, am willing to offer four volumes of that theoretical classic, plus three sets of notes from ancient sages!"

"I have five volumes of out-of-print classics, and four sets of notes!" a powerful voice roared.

At the Hunyuan Palace, Zi Xiao's hair stood on end in shock. Who were these people? They were either old men or wild, burly fellows. If his sister fell into their hands, would she be alright?!

At that moment, his heart pounded with fear. He no longer dared to curse Chu Feng, nor to stubbornly declare he would kill him. Instead... he began to bid directly!

"I'll buy her! I have genuine secret scriptures, not common market items, incredibly rare!" Zi Xiao shouted.

The group of geniuses truly pitied him. Moments ago, he had been full of anger and murderous intent, but now he was forced to join the bidding war. It was so... pathetic.

"That damn Chu Feng is utterly despicable, forcing Senior Brother into such a predicament," a talented young woman said sympathetically.

"Sister Zi Luan is blessed by heaven; she'll be fine! I will rescue her!" Many male students were also indignant, wishing they could immediately act as heroes to save the beauty, unable to tolerate a saintess falling into such clutches.

However, reality was cruel. While people on the Primeval Beast platform were fiercely bidding, their empty threats in Hunyuan Palace were useless!

"Besides the secret scriptures, I, an old man, also have a volume of miscellaneous notes on energy bodies!"

"Hmph, I don't believe in evil. After escaping from the cosmic black prison, I just pulled off a few big scores. I have plenty of good stuff on hand. I won't lose to you old farts. I'll raise the price again!"

A new wave of bidding frenzy began.

Zi Xiao's face turned green. There were truly no good people here; they were either old men or escaped convicts. This... he shuddered, barely able to imagine what fate awaited his sister if she fell into the hands of this group.

Subsequently, he directly offered a high price, becoming the vanguard in driving up the bids!

In the end, Zi Xiao fought his way through, neck and neck with an old man, both leading the pack and looking down on everyone else!

However, he could never defeat this old man. By the end, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could physically break through and slap that old geezer to death.

In fact, on a planet called Zhimeng, an old man also had a gloomy expression, his eyes bloodshot, ready to kill.

Around him were other people, one middle-aged woman with tearful beautiful eyes said, "No matter what, we must save Luan'er. Spare no expense!"

The old man nodded, then fiercely declared to the Primeval Beast platform, "That boy is incredibly persistent; he's targeted my Luan'er. Damn him, he deserves to die!"

At Hunyuan Palace, Zi Xiao was also furious, saying, "Old scoundrel, you dare to target my sister? Don't let me get my hands on you! You're disrespectful to elders and should be killed!"

If he had known that the other bidder was his own father, he would have been struck by lightning.

Now, it was entirely a father-son battle!

"I have the notes of the founder of that theory, plus all the important classics of this school, and also the Energy Body Principle Analysis Tome!" Zi Xiao finally roared.

Then, the old man also became fierce, bidding even more aggressively, looking determined to win!

Zi Xiao couldn't hold on any longer. At this point, he finally calmed down a little, thought of asking for help from his family, and immediately contacted his clan members.

"Father, something terrible has happened! My sister has encountered a great calamity!" Zi Xiao gasped, reporting the bad news to his family.

"Son, weren't you in secluded cultivation? What startled you out?" his mother called from the other end, knowing he was in seclusion and not wanting to disturb him.

"Mother, Father, I'm currently bidding to save my sister, but I've run into an old scoundrel. We've been fighting 'to the point of blood flowing like rivers.' That bastard has gone mad and wants to fight me to the very end. I really can't take it anymore; please send financial support immediately!" Zi Xiao blurted out in one breath.

Then, he felt an immense strangeness, because the other end was too quiet, terrifyingly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Immediately afterward, he heard intense, heavy breathing, so powerful it gradually sounded like thunder, followed by a thunderous roar—it was his father's voice.

"You rebellious son, you beast! So it was you bidding against me!"

This was like a thunderclap that echoed in Zi Xiao's ears, nearly piercing his eardrums and making his head buzz.

Zi Xiao was dumbfounded, completely petrified where he stood, too shocked to utter a single word.

Around him, the group of geniuses at Hunyuan Palace, including highly prestigious Taoists and goddesses, were all dumbfounded. This was truly a case of "the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple"—a family dispute where no one recognized each other!

At this point, what could these people say? They silently sympathized, feeling Zi Xiao's situation was too tragic, battling against his own father.

The main reason was that in such matters, everyone bids anonymously, not daring to reveal their true identity due to the lack of glory. Moreover, his clan members knew Zi Xiao was in seclusion and didn't think much of it.

As for Zi Xiao, when he was called out of seclusion, he rushed out, his eyes instantly red, not caring about anything else.

"Rebellious son, you've really grown some nerve, haven't you?!" the old man roared from the other end, exasperated. After all that fuss, it turned out his own son was fighting him!

The old man almost vomited blood, feeling utterly choked with anger. For a moment, his vision blurred, and he nearly fainted. The father and son had been the vanguards of the bidding, fighting to the "Forbidden Summit"!

Now, looking back, it was a case of their own people sabotaging their own people, a story filled with bitter tears if told.

The Art of Combat, Energy Body Principle Analysis Tome, Founder's Notes, complete theoretical classics, and several secret techniques – which of these wasn't incredibly valuable?

Mount Tai, within the secret realm.

Chu Feng was very satisfied, grinning like a blooming flower, unable to close his mouth. He felt this deal was absolutely fantastic!

However, he suddenly noticed someone canceling their order and directly withdrawing. Then another person frantically tried to drive down the price, refusing to honor the previous terms.

Chu Feng was enraged and declared, "You dare to collude privately and try to gang up to lower the price? No way! I'm not selling Saintess Zi Luan; I'll keep her for my own bed-warming use!"

Zi Xiao and his father were dumbfounded, their faces turning green. This native was truly ruthless, threatening to harm Zi Luan over a slight price reduction? They were anxious, angry, and exasperated.

"Sing!" Chu Feng motioned for Zi Luan to continue singing.

"I am a little bird, wanting to fly and fly..." Zi Luan's voice was indeed very good, her singing melodious and pleasant to hear.

From afar, the father and son nearly vomited blood. Now... they both wanted to kill someone.

Finally, Zi Xiao accepted his father's instructions, gritting his teeth and raising the price to the original standard.

He and the old man at home certainly wanted to be tough, but that native was too ruthless, threatening to harm his sister. Zi Xiao had no choice but to grudgingly lower his head and grudgingly agree to that outrageously humiliating price.

Nothing could be more disheartening than this!

"Are you sure you can produce it?" Chu Feng asked.

"Confirmed!" Zi Xiao gnashed his teeth and nodded.

"Excellent, it's a deal!" Chu Feng was very satisfied, smiling even more like a blooming flower.

"I am a little bird..." Zi Luan continued to sing, not daring to stop.

Next, Chu Feng continued to sell the Saint Children, even selling Saint Child Yuan Kun, the Vajra Ape, who had broken bones and was critically wounded and dying. He simply sold him off quickly, in a hurry!

"Alright, the auction ends here!" Chu Feng announced, telling the successful bidders to prepare the secret manuals, as the transactions would be completed soon at Longhu Mountain.

"Hey, brother, you still have a Divine Son and a Saintess on your hands, why don't you keep selling them!"

Some people grew anxious, staring at Li Feng and Zhan He.

"You can't give me what I want, so naturally, I won't sell them. I'll keep them for myself: one to pull the carriage, and the other for 'red sleeves adding fragrance'!"

Chu Feng actually found a war chariot in that place, brought by one of these Divine Sons or Saintesses. Chu Feng urged Zhan He to pull the chariot, threatening to simply beat him to death if he refused.

Zhan He was filled with grief and indignation, but in the end, he deflated. To survive, he lowered his proud head.

And so, Chu Feng leisurely sat on the war chariot, with Li Feng and Zi Luan standing on either side like attendants.

At this moment, Saintess Zi Luan was still singing, her voice melodious and enchanting.

Chu Feng felt no psychological burden and no sympathy at all, because these people had originally come to kill him. If he had lost, his fate would have been far worse!

"Alright, change the song. Sing 'How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible'!" Chu Feng commanded.

"My goodness... this guy is truly..." On the Primeval Beast platform, a group of people stared with wide eyes.

"This kid is too arrogant! Doesn't he fear being struck by lightning?!" The Primeval Beast platform erupted in a clamor.

Because such a display was utterly outrageous: now, a Divine Son was pulling a chariot, two Saintesses stood beside him with lowered hands, and one was obediently singing.

Even the Taoists from the top ten star systems wouldn't dare to travel so ostentatiously, people seriously doubted!

Zi Luan, feeling wronged, sang "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible," on the verge of tears, managing to make this invincible song sound mournful and heartbroken.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng felt like he resembled a major villain. He was increasingly becoming like a great devil king.

"Masters sigh at their invincibility; who can contend with me? Life is truly as lonely as snow!" Chu Feng said, standing on the war chariot with his hands clasped behind his back.

At this moment, he had exited the secret realm with the war chariot and stood atop Mount Tai, looking down upon the world, truly an unparalleled view of all peaks beneath him!

Suddenly, a blazing light struck him, and the war chariot exploded instantly.

He had just left the secret realm, merely stepping outside, only to encounter such an earth-shattering turn of events!

Chu Feng was sent flying, his entire body in excruciating pain. "Damn it, I've been struck by lightning!" he cried.

Next, a cluster of lightning bolts, over a dozen of them, rained down, all striking him. He was sent flying, covered in blood, with disheveled hair, while the war chariot had already shattered into pieces.

"You bastard!" Chu Feng cursed.

Instantly, he understood the situation. When he had previously depicted his invincible image, thunder had roared, but it had eventually receded because even lightning could not approach the Heaven-Sacrificing Ground.

Now that Chu Feng was out, the lightning had immediately come for him!

"He's been struck by divine lightning!" someone on the Primeval Beast platform exclaimed, completely devoid of sympathy, everyone incredibly excited.
