Chapter 232 - Hiding

Chapter 232 – Hiding

In the cultivation world of the entire Yuzhou, Liu Zhifei thought that as a disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, he didn’t need to care about anyone’s expressions or actions, and the truth was that it was indeed so. When they saw Liu Zhifei’s group of four push everyone else forward, the expressions of the few cultivators in embroidered clothes immediately changed.

Yang Junshan explained what had happened to Liu Zhifei and the others in a simple manner. Liu Zhifei raised his chin and said: “Look at how you all look like, you guys also seem like people from the Yuxian.

The expression of the silk-robed cultivator in the lead changed again. He didn’t dare to say anything more. It was obvious that he knew who the people in front of him were, yet he still stood there without retreating.

Liu Zhifei frowned slightly, and said coldly: “What’s wrong, where are all of you acting so arrogantly? You guys don’t even know your own surname, do you?”

He raised his head, and although he still did not dare meet Liu Zhifei’s gaze, the tone in his mouth suddenly became firm, and said: “I gave them one thousand Jade Coins, and they only gave them three hundred, so this thing should be given to us.”

Liu Zhifei clearly sensed that there was something wrong with these few people, he immediately looked past the few people in front of him to look at the surrounding people, in that moment when they saw him, they became flustered, as though they knew who he was, but they instantly became confident, and obviously had someone backing them up.

He originally thought that it was just an ordinary auction, but now it seemed that it was not so simple. This was clearly an incident targeting Yang Junshan and the rest, but he himself had barged into it head on, causing Liu Zhifei to feel a little regretful. He should have been waiting in the crowd earlier, and only entered after seeing what had happened.

After all, this was the territory of the Heaven-Shaken Sect and half of it was the territory of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Liu Zhifei did not think that he should be afraid of anyone, but a sense of vigilance had already risen in his heart.

At this time, Yang Junshan had already noticed that something was amiss, there were obviously people plotting against them from behind the scenes. Although this matter was extremely infuriating, but they did not have any reason to do it, after all, they had sent out Jade Coinhat far surpassed them.

The other party obviously did not know that the jar was filled with baleful milk. A thousand Jade Coins was indeed not many, so Yang Junshan was naturally able to afford it.

However, the crux of the issue was that the other party’s initial bid was only to make him feel disgusted. If he really wanted to compete with the person in front of him, then he would be informing everyone that the contents of the jar were treasures. At that time, the secret of the baleful liquid would be lost.

But until now, other than Yang Junshan and the other two, everyone present thought that the jar was some kind of treasure. Dozens of telepathic thoughts were wandering around the jar, but no one found the Demon Essence.

This made Yang Junshan feel strange once again, it couldn’t be that everyone didn’t recognize what the Evil Essence was, right?

Yang Junshan was suspicious, because previously, he had held the jar in his hand and checked it, but he did not use his spirit sense to check, and at this time, his heart was suspicious, and he used his spirit sense to check the jar.

The result of his investigations was that there was actually half a jar of mud inside the terrine. Combined with the mottled marks on the terrine, it looked extremely similar to an antique that had just been dug out from the ground.

How was this possible? The content inside should have been filled with at least half a can of Baleful Codex. With everyone watching, there was no way that that merchant would use a deceptive trick on him.

Could it be that this jar was alsreasure?

This time, he once again placed his Spiritual Sense on the jar itself, and only then did he realize that almost everyone was observing the jar with their divine senses. It was obvious that everyone thought that Yang Junshan was fighting with the few silk-clothes cultivators for the jar itself, and thus, everyone understood what exactly the “treasure” this jar was.

Was this really a treasure?

At least in Yang Junshan’s Spiritual Sense, although the surface of the jar was old and mottled, the patterns engraved on it were extremely exquisite. What surprised her was that the patterns were not only for decoration, but also to form a simple array formation, and the jar itself was an array disc.

It was not that Yang Junshan had never seen a Spirit Convergence Array before, it was just that he had mastered two forms of Spirit Convergence Array that were not of high quality. However, if he were to reduce the size of the formation and carve it ontalf foot tall clay pot, Yang Junshan believed that he would not be able to do it even now.

Actually, the moment he sensed all these, Yang Junshan already knew that this broken and tattered jar in front of him looked like an antique. Merely the exquisite array carved on the surface was worth thousands of Jade Coins already.

Furthermore, the array patterns on the surface of the terrine were hidden secrets. Ordinary cultivators would never be able to detect the existence of the Spirit Convergence Array from the patterns carved on the surface of the terrine; while those Martial Realm Cultivator s, who had exhausted their Spiritual Sense and could only finally discover the existence of the Spirit Convergence Array, thought that they had discovered the secret of the terrine.

The Spirit Convergence Array that was initially concealed under the decorative patterns had even been fused with an even more exquisite formation, but Yang Junshan could not be more familiar with this method. The Concealment Formation and the Jade Fragment Formation that was used to hide some precious treasures that he found in the treasury of the Changsun Family had used almost the same method to perfectly fuse together.

However, the two arrays embedded on this jar were even more exquisite, and could be used for concealment, as well as for fusion. The grade of the formations was even higher than the concealment formation and the jade fragment formation that Yang Junshan had seen before.

It was precisely because of that small and exquisite array hidden inside the Spirit Gathering Array that the real treasures inside the jar were covered up or magically transformed, giving everyone who used their spiritual sense to check the inside of the jar an illusion, as if what was inside really was half a jar of dried up mud.

Yang Junshan thought quickly, and then maintained his composure.

Although the surrounding people were all focused on the jar in front of them, Yang Junshan was confident that other than himself and Jiu Li who had the secret technique of the Witch Clan, no one else present would be able to find out what was inside without personally touching the jar, unless there was a second formation master present!

At this time, Liu Zhifei was standing up for Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan himself was still in a daze.

Liu Zhifei laughed coldly: “You are just a coward, call out the person who supports you from the back, don’t forcefully hang on here!”

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye could see that after Liu Zhifei and a few other inner sect disciples from the Heaven-Shaken Sect appeared, these few previously arrogant cultivators in embroidered clothes were already fighting with cold sweat trickling down their backs. They were actually forcing themselves not to leave, it was obvious that someone was supporting them from behind.

At this time, a sneer came from the crowd, and said: “Trading requires both your feelings and wishes, the highest bidder gets it, although both sides have agreed on the price, they did not engage in any kind of trade, and since there is someone witigher bid, the business will naturally have to be done again, as you are a disciple of the inner sect of Heaven-Shaken Sect, is asking this considered bullying?”

Liu Zhifei coldly snorted, and said: “That thing that hides the head and shows the tail, do you have the guts to stand out?”

The crowd immediately parted and a few other arrogant cultivators in embroidered clothes walked in. The leader was a burly man with a sharp gaze that revealed a hint of cunning as he sneered: “Sixth Junior Brother, if I were to hide my head and show my tail, then what are you?”

Not only Liu Zhifei, even Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Xue and Zhang Yueming’s expression changed drastically when they saw this person. They respectfully saluted the person who was walking over and said: “Greetings Senior Brother Xiong!”

After standing up, Liu Zhifei then pulled Yang Junshan who was beside him and introduced him to the person in front of him: “This is Xiao Yang, he is a Frontier Cultivator and is usually assigned to me as his subordinate.”

When Yang Junshan heard the two of them bowing respectfully to the young man, his heart suddenly sank. The person’s surname was “Xiong”, and if Liu Zhifei and the other inner sect disciples had to address him as senior respectfully, then the identity of the person would be made clear!

Xiong Xiying waved her hand, glanced at Yang Junshan and the other two, and casually said: “Junior Zhang, Junior Brothers, there is no need to be courteous, I am just not used to seeing the actions of the three, that’s all. There is an extremely exquisite array formation engraved on the pot, and the entire pot itself is an array disc, if it fell into the hands of an array master, even if it was just a complete array formation that was focused on studying the pot, the pot itself would be worthousand Jade Coins, while the three hundred Jade Coins had thought of swindling this jar away, and only called a few people, so as to prevent them from being fooled.”

Liu Zhifei said carefully: “Senior Brother Xiong, this is not a big deal. This Xiao Yang is my subordinate after all, I think we should forget about him!”

He could not wait to grow a pair of wings and leave this perilous place. At this time, he suddenly heard what Xiong Xiying had said, that the young man who wanted to buy first, was lying to him, and was actually able to earn more Jade Coins, he immediately changed his position, first by thanking Xiong Xiying loudly, then by denouncing Yang Junshan and the others for being a traitor.
