Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Lu Yuan and True Lord Po Tian arrived at the secret auction venue. Along the way, they carefully observed their surroundings, fearing that they would be ambushed by the Ghost Sect again.

After all, their relationship with Hong Lietian has become a hot topic, and the hostility of the Ghost Sect towards them is obvious.

Finally, they arrived at the auction venue.

This is a place hidden in the valley, it looks calm and peaceful.

But Lu Yuan and True Lord Potian both knew in their hearts that the dangers hidden here were far greater than what appeared on the surface.

"Master, we have to be careful."

Lu Yuan reminded.

"Don't worry, I have set up a detection spell. If there is any danger, I will detect it immediately."

Master Potian said confidently.

The two entered the auction venue, which was crowded with people, and all kinds of rare fairy materials and treasures were displayed there.

Lu Yuan looked at the scene around him excitedly, with desire flashing in his eyes.

“There are so many items to be auctioned here!”

Lu Yuan said excitedly, "I heard that there is a water-attributed immortal material that will be auctioned, I must get it."

Master Potian nodded with a smile, "Ever since I met you, I knew you have a special liking for water-attributed immortal materials."

"However, you have to be careful of Hong Lietian. He may also be interested in this immortal material."

Lu Yuan frowned. He understood that Master Potian’s reminder was not redundant.

As the leader of the Ghost Sect, Hong Lietian has a great interest in any rare immortal materials.

"No matter what, I must strive to obtain this immortal material."

Lu Yuan said firmly.

Just as they were communicating, a middle-aged monk came over.

He was wearing gorgeous immortal robes, with sharp eyes, revealing a majestic aura.

"Are you here to attend the auction?" asked the middle-aged monk.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, we are very interested in the items in the auction."

The middle-aged monk smiled slightly, "Then you better be careful, this auction is not just for buying and selling treasures, it also involves some competition for interests."

Master Potian was slightly stunned, and asked curiously, "You mean, there is something else behind this auction?"

The middle-aged monk nodded and said, "Yes, the organizer of this auction is the Ziyun Family, and you seem to have some relationship with them."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly. He did not intend to hide his cooperative relationship with the Ziyun Family. "Yes, I have some relationship with the Ziyun Family."

“I helped them solve some problems before, so I got special treatment.”

The middle-aged monk raised his eyebrows slightly, "Special treatment?"

“This kind of treatment is not simple. I suspect that the interests of the auction as a whole may be involved.”

True Lord Potian immediately defended himself, "You misunderstood. Lu Yuan did help the Ziyun Family expose the Blood Moon Sect's conspiracy, and for that he received corresponding rewards and was treated like a member of an upper-class sect."

The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment, and seemed to agree with Master Po Tian’s explanation. “If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to worry about.”

"However, you still have to be careful of Hong Lietian. He is not an easy person to deal with."

Master Potian and Lu Yuan nodded to show their understanding.

Just as they were talking, a clear female voice suddenly sounded, "You are here."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a beautiful woman walking towards them.

She was wearing a purple dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and there was a smart gleam in her eyes.

"Zi Xier!" Lu Yuan shouted with a smile.

Zi Xier walked up to them, smiling, "I heard that you were coming to the auction, so I came to take a look."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, we are indeed here to attend the auction." "But why are you here too?"

Zi Xier pointed to the crowd behind her and said, "I came here with my sister Zi Cuiling."

Lu Yuan looked at Zi Cuiling in surprise.

Zi Cuiling smiled and nodded, "Lu Yuan, you helped my family, of course I have to come and participate in your activities."

"Besides, this auction is also very important to my family."

Lu Yuan was grateful. He didn't expect Zi Cuiling to come and support him in person.

While they were talking, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of Hong Lietian. The appearance of this leader of the Ghost Sect might bring a lot of twists and turns to the auction.

He frowned, secretly alert.

Seeing Lu Yuan's serious expression, Su Liyan patted his shoulder gently, signaling him not to worry too much.

Lu Yuan looked up at Su Liyan, feeling her warmth and support, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided.

"Don't worry too much. We will definitely get through this auction."

Su Liyan said gently.

Lu Yuan nodded and gave a confident smile.

He knew that he had such a group of reliable partners around him, and even if faced with difficulties, they could overcome them together.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the crowd on the street gradually dispersed, as if to leave an open space.

A middle-aged monk in a black robe walked slowly towards them, his eyes sharp, giving off an air of majesty.

"Who is this guy?"

Su Liyan asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuan frowned and stared at the middle-aged monk.

He said with some caution: "This person looks a little strange, we have to be careful."

The middle-aged monk walked up to them and said with a smile: "Are you here to participate in the auction?"

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, we were introduced, but we don't know the details yet."

The middle-aged monk raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and talked about the competition for interests behind the auction and the relationship between the Ziyun family.

"You guys have to be careful, this auction is not simple and may involve some conflicts of interest."

The middle-aged monk warned.

Zi Cuiling smiled faintly to show her understanding.

She knew that such large-scale events were often accompanied by various conflicts of interest, but she believed that Lu Yuan and his team could handle these issues.

Zi Xier's expression suddenly changed, as if she had noticed something. She looked around vigilantly and frowned tightly.

"Someone is watching us." Zi Xier said softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert.

Their eyes scanned the crowd, trying to identify potential observers.

Just then, a noisy sound came from a distance, attracting everyone's attention.

A group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes were walking towards this side, led by a middle-aged monk with elegant temperament. His eyes revealed a majestic aura.

"Who is that person?" Su Liyan asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuan stared ahead with a serious look.

He had an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if this middle-aged monk had brought some ominous news. (End of this chapter)
