Chapter 359: A Chance Encounter

She touched the missing part of her body and gritting her teeth in hatred as she muttered to herself, "Why? Why won’t anyone give me a chance to restore my body? Everyone keeps bullying me... The heavens are unjust. The heavens are unjust... Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You brought this upon yourselves..."

As she muttered under her breath, she took out a flying treasure shaped like a chair.

Without waiting for the auction to finish, she put on a cloak that concealed her divine sense, cultivation, appearance, and aura, then unsteadily flew away.

At this moment, no one noticed that the woman who would later bring immense disaster to the Heaven Origin Realm had quietly left.

Everyone was simply waiting expectantly for the next auction item.

Inside Private Room Ninety Nine, Xiao Shou looked at the Crimson Earth that had been teleported into the room. He then pushed it toward Fu Young and suppressed the urge to laugh at his disciple. "Alright! Young’er, hurry up and put it away. Don’t dislike it anymore. It’s so pitiful being disliked like this!"

At such close range, Fu Young had to exert all his strength to suppress the urge to immediately absorb the Crimson Earth.

At this moment, even though he had no prior experience with such a situation, he could already guess that the moment he touched this thing, it would probably merge into his true body, the Supreme Lord.

He had no idea what kind of phenomenon would appear afterward. So he endure it. However, the Crimson Earth itself had no intention of waiting.

After emitting red light several times without receiving any response, the Crimson Earth suddenly burst into brilliant crimson light and shot directly toward Fu Young.

At the same time, Fu Young’s Heavenly Eye opened involuntarily.

Fu Young was worried that his Master would see his ominous eye. He was just about to turn his head away when the auctioneer outside announced the second to last auction item. So, Xiao Shou’s attention had already shifted toward the auction.

Seeing this, Fu Young breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly began refining the newly acquired power inside his body.

What he did not know was that the moment the Crimson Earth flew into his Heavenly Eye, the sky outside suddenly turned completely black.

A blood red crescent moon appeared in the sky.

Not long afterward, the three elders of the Celestial Truth Sect vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, suffering severe damage to their vitality.

Within this seemingly peaceful and lively Holy City, a storm was already brewing.

...

"I can’t believe the final two treasures were an Immortal Beast egg and a low grade Immortal Artifact. What a disappointment."

After the auction ended, everyone in the private rooms was automatically and randomly teleported away by their tokens.

As a result, Xiao Shou and Fu Young were directly transported to an unfamiliar street in the Holy City.

Having finished absorbing the power of the Crimson Earth, Fu Young followed Xiao Shou as he wandered around aimlessly.

As they walked, he said, "Those are things many cultivators would love to have. It’s just that Master doesn’t think much of them."

"Hmph! Are you saying my standards are too high? That’s not it! I’m simply not interested in things I have no use for. Sigh! I guess I’ll just have to look forward to the Nine Treasures Pavilion auction two days from now. I wonder what good things we’ll be able to obtain there." Xiao Shou sighed helplessly.

Fu Young nodded and was just about to speak when a young woman suddenly ran around the corner. She collided directly with a passing cultivator who is walking in front of Xiao Shou.

Xiao Shou instinctively reached out and caught the cultivator was knocked backward by the impact.

At the same time, the stack of talismans the young woman had been holding scattered all over the ground.

"Ah! My talismans!"

The young woman cried out in alarm as she helplessly looked at the talismans scattered all around her.

Seeing this, Xiao Shou did not think much about it. He released the passing cultivator he had been supporting and casually used his spiritual energy to gather the scattered talismans, returning them to the young woman.

"Be more careful next time."

"This junior is Yu Saixi. Thank you, Senior, for helping me." The young woman then looked at Xiao Shou with gratitude.

Yu Saixi? Is this the person from An Yu’s prophetic dream who betrayed his Master and forced his Master to relocate the former Snow Cave Mountain?

When Fu Young remember this, his already poor mood became even worse and a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Meanwhile, the passing cultivator whom Xiao Shou had casually saved also respectfully bowed to him. He was a handsome young male cultivator in his early twenties with delicate features and he stood about a head taller than Xiao Shou.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving me."

"You’re both too polite." Xiao Shou responded casually and glanced at the young man and woman.

The young woman was pretty and delicate, with a gentle temperament. She looked around sixteen or seventeen. If she had not taken a Youth Preserving Pill, she probably was not very old. Overall, she was the kind of girl who was pleasing to look at. Then Xiao Shou looked at the male cultivator. The moment he saw his face, he froze and an expression of disbelief flashed through his eyes.

"Meng Huo?"

"Eh? Senior knows this junior?" The young man named Meng Huo awkwardly scratched his cheek and looked at Xiao Shou in surprise.

After hearing him confirm that his name really was Meng Huo, Xiao Shou became completely confused.

Why is Meng Huo here? Did he transmigrate here too? What about Meng Jie?

For a moment, memories from before his transmigration flashed through Xiao Shou’s mind.

Before transmigrating, Xiao Shou had already graduated from university and had only recently entered the workforce.
