Chapter 979: Encountering the You Mau Great Saint Again

The Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, masters the Li Fire of the Southern Brightness, possesses a formidable power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and is a Divine Beast.

At this moment, the egg taken out by the Sage of the Gentle Wind is reflecting a Vermilion Bird’s image upon its shell, along with various phenomena, making it remarkably similar to the legendary Vermilion Bird Egg.

“This is not a Vermilion Bird Egg, but it is related to the Vermilion Bird. This is a Flame Sparrow Egg. The Flame Sparrow is a descendant of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast and holds a trace of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline within, being an extremely powerful Demon Beast.”

“This Flame Sparrow Egg is well-preserved and is about to hatch. If nurtured properly, it might reach Great Accomplishment within a hundred years, and then it could become a Demon Saint!”

The Sage of the Gentle Wind introduced it, despite it not being a Vermilion Bird Egg, it was still extraordinary and exceptionally rare.

Even though Su Han had slain many sages, it was because he was operating on a higher level. To most people, sages were aloof, unreachable entities.

If this Flame Sparrow Egg could successfully hatch, with the bloodline talent of a Flame Sparrow, reaching sainthood within a hundred years isn’t just empty talk. It’s a considerable temptation for many.

Whether for personal cultivation or as infallible support for a force, it’s an excellent choice, making everyone eager to obtain this Flame Sparrow Egg immediately.

“Starting price, three billion!”

The Sage of the Gentle Wind announced the starting price, and no sooner had the words left his lips than a tumult of bidding erupted.

“I’ll bid four billion. This Flame Sparrow Egg is a fine thing, and I must have it.”

“Heh, I’m the one befitting of it. This Flame Sparrow Egg can only reach its potential in my hands. I’ll offer five billion.”

“Say no more, six billion, it’s mine!”

…

The price soared, rapidly surpassing ten billion, yet the bidding voices remained numerous, showing no signs of cessation.

“Twenty billion!”

Just then, a voice emerged from the core area, instantly raising the bid to a staggering twenty billion.

This voice seized everyone’s attention. They looked up to see the bidder was a robust werewolf, its fur dark as night, except for a blood-red crescent on its forehead.

“Night Wolf Demon Saint!”

Upon recognizing the werewolf, many gasped, eyes filled with shock.

This werewolf was none other than the city lord of Red Moon City, the Night Wolf Demon Saint, seated at the core, emanating terrifying Holy Might. Its sharp teeth stained crimson, suggesting it feasts upon man, evoking fear.

Although Hell was at odds with the black market, the Night Wolf Demon Saint wouldn’t miss such an auction, especially since the Flame Sparrow Egg held great significance for him as a beast Saint. Hence, he immediately offered twenty billion.

The frightful price of twenty billion, combined with the fearsome reputation of the Night Wolf Demon Saint, significantly reduced the number of bids. Even those with enough Spirit Stones wouldn’t dare cross the Night Wolf Demon Saint, notorious for his bloodletting criminality.

“Twenty-five billion!”

At this moment, a languid voice suddenly echoed, astonishing everyone instantly.

Who dares defy the Night Wolf Demon Saint? Are they unafraid of purchasing life only to lose it after?

People turned promptly towards the source, seeing that the languid voice also came from the core, not far from the Night Wolf Demon Saint.

A massive black cat, entirely pitch-black with emerald green pupils, was sprawled lazily on a chair. At the sight of everyone looking, its eyes glimmered, sending a shockwave that left everyone coughing blood and retreating.

“You Mau Great Saint!”

In the corner, Su Han’s eyes narrowed with surprise. He hadn’t expected the You Mau Great Saint to appear in Prison State, let alone participate in this auction.

“One of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals of King Yama’s Palace, the You Mau Great Saint!”

Others recognized the You Mau Great Saint too, exclaiming in astonishment, causing an uproar.

King Yama’s Palace was infamous as the foremost dark force in Central Plains, superior to Hell. Its Ten Shadow Marshals were all Great Saint experts, with numerous quasi-emperors and Great Emperor Realm experts among them.

Even though King Yama’s Palace had suffered heavy losses recently, it remained unprovokable by typical Immortal Forces, not to mention the You Mau Great Saint was a Great Saint expert, his power unparalleled across Red Moon City.

Neither the Night Wolf Demon Saint nor the Sage of the Gentle Wind was a match for the You Mau Great Saint.

The You Mau Great Saint’s identity and strength surpassed that of the Night Wolf Demon Saint, and with his bid of twenty-five billion, no one dared to compete further.

Though reluctant, the Night Wolf Demon Saint dared not contend with the You Mau Great Saint, ultimately gritting his teeth in resignation.

“Congratulations to the You Mau Great Saint on successfully winning the Flame Sparrow Egg!”

The Sage of the Gentle Wind cupped his hands and announced the final result.

Although the price was somewhat under his expectations, he dared not show disrespect in front of the You Mau Great Saint, instead relenting.

The You Mau Great Saint waved his hand, tossing a Storage Ring containing twenty-five billion Spirit Stones, then collected the Flame Sparrow Egg and resumed his repose.

“Next, the auction for the second item!”

The Sage of the Gentle Wind quickly spoke, redirecting everyone’s attention, before presenting the second item. Soon, fresh bidding echoes filled the air once more.

Su Han paid no mind to others and instead observed the You Mau Great Saint, furrowing his brows slightly.

Why was the You Mau Great Saint here? To track him? Unlikely, given his movements were kept secret, even from Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue. Besides, the You Mau Great Saint didn’t seem here to track him, or he wouldn’t be so blatantly present.

If he wasn’t here for Su Han, why was the You Mau Great Saint here? Was he seeking King Yama?

Yet, if seeking King Yama, he should head directly to Hell’s headquarters, so why linger in Red Moon City?

Or perhaps the You Mau Great Saint was carrying out a special mission, possibly not alone here from King Yama’s Palace.

Su Han’s eyes narrowed slightly, contemplating more from the presence of the You Mau Great Saint. After all, Prison State’s secrets are vast, quietly drawing attention from various forces. Perhaps King Yama’s Palace discovered something, prompting action.

Of course, this might be Su Han’s miscalculation, but better to err in caution than not at all, especially considering his unending enmity with King Yama’s Palace.

It seems he must pay closer attention to King Yama’s Palace’s movements later; unexpected discoveries might emerge!

While Su Han pondered, the auction continued, with treasures being sold at high prices as foretold by Old Huang, each item rare and exorbitantly priced.

Yet, the You Mau Great Saint made no further bids, while the Night Wolf Demon Saint succeeded in acquiring several treasures.

Su Han didn’t hasten to bid, for his targets were the Sun Holy Stone and the Eternal Blue Gold; the other treasures held no current interest.

At last, the awaited item for Su Han arrived.

“Now for the thirty-ninth item, the Sun Holy Stone!”

The Sage of the Gentle Wind reached out, retrieving a Sun Holy Stone the size of a head, instantly brightening the entire black market.
