Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 445 - 393: Reckless Master Huo Xu, Demon Sect Ambush
Elder Jin Han remained calm and collected, instructing the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance cultivators who came to support, to activate the defense array of the Five Elements Mountain Market at the first instance.
To prevent Master Huo Xu from escaping.
Then he raised his hand and slashed, instantly dispersing the attacking Fire Cloud with golden light.
In the auction house’s private room.
Hua Tianxiong, noticing the situation, realized that the plan to acquire the Star Sea Divine Vine was hopeless for today.
"Damn it, that Master Huo Xu is a madman!"
He cursed under his breath and without thinking twice, he prepared to leave the place of trouble immediately.
If things continued this way, these two old monsters would definitely engage in a fierce battle.
And by then, even he, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, might not be able to withstand it.
He was not adept at fighting others, and with the difference in cultivation levels standing clear, there were still two vast chasms between mid-stage Golden Core and perfection.
If he wasn’t careful, he’d become cannon fodder.
Just as Hua Tianxiong was about to make his escape.
In an instant!
His whole body felt a chill, as a strong sense of crisis surged in him.
It was Master Huo Xu, who had shattered the window of the private room and reached out a huge hand towards him.
Master Huo Xu was also precise in his target, knowing that after his success it would be hard to escape unscathed, he had long devised a plan.
He knew Hua Tianxiong was not only the trusted aide of Lihuo Palace’s Elder Qian but also the president of the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance’s top ten trade associations, holding a significant position within the alliance.
He had prepared to take Hua Tianxiong hostage as a means to leave the Five Elements Mountain Market.
Master Huo Xu had also gathered information on various rumors about Hua Tianxiong in recent years before coming.
Although the deaths of Yin Demon Sect’s Tian the Demon and Divine Dao Mountain’s Nascent Soul Seed, Wen Yuliang, were greatly related to him.
Relying on his crafty experience of roaming the cultivation realm for many years, he judged these to be external speculations.
Perhaps Hua Tianxiong had some merits in business, but in terms of cultivation and fighting, to Master Huo Xu, he was no better than an empty vessel.
Therefore, at this moment, when he struck, he was almost certain of success.
Whoosh!
But the next moment was greatly astonishing to Master Huo Xu.
He saw Hua Tianxiong, in a fluster, take out a purple-gold talisman and without thinking, crushed it directly.
Instantly, he was enveloped in a purple light and disappeared without a trace!
"Damn it! A Tier Three Top-Grade Void Teleportation Talisman!"
Master Huo Xu jumped and cursed in anger, never expecting that Hua Tianxiong possessed such a precious talisman.
Even as a Golden Core Perfection cultivator, he didn’t have such a rare life-saving talisman...
The value of that one talisman alone could have robbed an auction house twice over...
A thousand miles away from the Five Elements Mountain Market.
Hua Tianxiong was still frightened, having narrowly escaped Master Huo Xu who clearly wanted to take him hostage.
He exclaimed his bad luck.
"Scared me half to death!"
"If it weren’t for the top-grade talisman gifted by the master, this time would’ve been truly perilous."
Boom!
Just then.
An intense battle erupted at the Five Elements Mountain Market, with two well-known Golden Core Great Cultivators, their every move carrying a destructive power.
The brilliance from the magic cast dyed half the sky red.
Merchant shops and loose cultivators below were all in terror, none daring to show themselves for fear of getting caught in it.
At the outskirts of the Five Elements Mountain Range.
The demonic cultivators lying in ambush awaiting the opportunity to strike were all astonished upon learning of the events inside.
"Junior Sister Lan, what do we do?"
"Never thought a speck of rat dung would ruin our plans."
"Cold Crow Old Monster is probably alarmed and won’t show up again."
"If we miss this rare opportunity, it might be difficult to lure him out in the future."
Jiang Yuan, the Saint Child of the Blood Refining Demon Gate, asked the Lan Bing Saintess beside him.
His tone carried a certain coldness, clearly even he was angry.
"What’s left, Brother Jiangg, it’s up to you to decide."
"I’ll return to the Great Li Yin Demon Sect first."
With that, her figure gradually blurred and instantly vanished from sight.
Jiang Yuan’s pale face revealed a sinister smile.
"Then I must thank Junior Sister Lan for yielding this time, I’ll gladly accept this Star Sea Divine Vine..."
...
...
After Hua Tianxiong escaped, he immediately reported the situation here to Qin Ming through a black talisman.
"What?"
"A major chaos erupted at the Five Elements Mountain Market? Elder Jin Han and Master Huo Xu clashed within the market?"
Qin Ming was on his way to the Five Elements Mountain Market, not expecting such a significant upheaval to occur right after he left.
The joy from just acquiring a treasure vanished instantly.
Qin Ming wasn’t afraid himself.
But the destructive power of late-stage and perfection level Golden Core cultivators was astonishing, even with strong defenses within the Five Elements Mountain Market.
It couldn’t withstand the destruction by Elder Jin Han and Master Huo Xu, these two Golden Core Great Cultivators.
He was also slightly concerned since Old Jia and others from the Mirror Snow Pavilion were still inside the Five Elements Mountain Market.
"Alas! Master Huo Xu is truly a fearless bandit!"
"Is it worth it for just a piece of Divine Wood..."
"Hopefully, the gods will protect the virtuous."
Going to the Five Elements Mountain Market now would be unwise for Qin Ming. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
He immediately sent a Communication Talisman to Old Jia and was relieved to learn they were not affected.
At the same time, from the messages Old Jia sent back.
"Shopkeeper, you must be extremely cautious!"
"Just now, Master Huo Xu was being chased by the Guardian Dao Alliance, having broken through the defense array of the Five Elements Mountain Market, he’s escaped outside."
