Chapter 1871 Roundup and Auction
"Shoot!"
Luo Hong pinched the spell and uttered a shooting order.
Suddenly, circles of black thunder symbols appeared above the thirteen caves he had passed by before. After they were connected, thirteen huge black thunder arrays were formed in an instant.
The next moment, the thirteen cave masters, including the blood-haired monk, sensed extremely strong spatial fluctuations at the same time.
"Not good!"
Just when they reacted, the thirteen black thunder arrays were activated at the same time.
The lightning flashed and directly moved the thirteen caves away from the Floating Cloud Mountains, leaving deep pits in the original place.
The next moment, the thirteen caves appeared at the same time on an unnamed plain far away from the Floating Cloud Mountains, and thirteen escape lights immediately soared into the sky.
Many of the owners of the escape lights knew each other, but after meeting each other, they did not feel the sense of security of finding their companions, but felt even colder.
Without any communication, the thirteen escape lights immediately fled in all directions, abandoning the caves they had managed for many years.
However, at this time, the cloud curtain in the sky suddenly fell down, surrounding this large area into the shape of a sea bowl.
On the cloud ladder, Song Yaoguang led hundreds of true immortals of the Pursuit Division to push away the clouds and mist, revealing their figures.
"Form a formation!"
With Song Yaoguang's order, hundreds of true immortals under his command immediately waved the formation flags in their hands, causing the surrounding clouds to surge, and transformed into lions or tigers. The beasts pounced on the thirteen fleeing lights.
At this time, a flash of lightning flashed beside her, and Luo Hong's figure immediately emerged.
"What's the situation?"
"Brother Luo, don't worry, I guarantee that no one will escape.
This is a rare opportunity. I want to let the true immortals under my command exercise. Please join me in supporting them."
Song Yaoguang immediately smiled and bowed to Luo Hong.
She is in a very good mood now. After all, the Pursuit Division has not achieved much since she took office.
The main reason is that there is a place in the Black Mountain Fairyland called the Floating Cloud Mountains where they cannot do anything.
Now, Luo Hong has teleported thirteen criminals from the Floating Cloud Mountains in one go, which is undoubtedly a big deal!
Although the rewards for the good deeds of these thirteen people are not high, if they are added together, it is still a large sum.
Even if some of them have to be distributed, Luo Hong can make up for most of the good deeds he spent before.
More importantly, after doing this, Luo Hong can continue to fish with peace of mind!
"But Brother Luo, why is there no target suspected of being a member of the Samsara Hall among these people? Aren't there several on the list?"
As long as the three words "Samsara Hall" are touched, the good deeds can basically double, so Song Yaoguang is very puzzled why Luo Hong deliberately skipped them.
"Those guys have no bad deeds. If we arrest them just because we suspect they are related to the Samsara Palace, it is easy to alert the enemy.
After all, this Floating Cloud Mountain Range is a bait planted by the higher-ups. We must know how to clean it up, otherwise it will be a mistake."
Luo Hong certainly knew that those people had high rewards, but there were many reasons why the Floating Cloud Mountain Range could exist. If he messed around with it casually, it would be easy for him to get into trouble.
"For a bait that we don't know when it will be used, the Black Mountain Fairyland has been troubled by evil cultivators for many years, and we don't know whether it is a loss or a profit in the end!"
Song Yaoguang could understand what Luo Hong meant, but she was still a little dissatisfied with it.
Of course, this dissatisfaction was not directed at Luo Hong, but at the person who made this plan.
"Yaoguang, you'd better say less."
Luo Hong glanced at Song Yaoguang and reminded him.
The strategy of the Heavenly Court to wipe out the Samsara Palace with all its strength was set by Gu Huojin himself. Anyone who tried to disobey it would not have a good end.
Luo Hong didn't want Song Yaoguang, who he supported to take the position, to be removed from the position of deputy palace master in just a few years.
"I will only say these complaints to Brother Luo, so let's not talk about it.
Brother Luo, how do you think these true immortals under my command cooperate?"
Song Yaoguang had no dignity as a deputy palace master at this moment, and smiled gently at Luo Hong.
"They are very skilled in using various formations, but it can be seen that they don't have much practical experience, which makes them look a little flustered even though they have the ability to deal with those emergencies."
Luo Hong said directly without looking away.
"The Pursuit Division rarely has such a big operation. Many of them were only responsible for collecting intelligence in various places before, and they lack experience in forming formations to fight against strong enemies.
But if we want them to be able to help us in the future, we must make up for this gap."
Song Yaoguang nodded when he heard this, and then said ambitiously.
Luo Hong didn't comment on this, but just watched the battle in the formation quietly.
So far, eight of the thirteen criminals have been trapped by the cloud, and they have been captured alive.
Although the remaining five are all Golden Immortals, they can only hold on with all their strength and have no chance to escape.
If nothing unexpected happens, when their immortal energy is almost consumed, they will also be captured by the True Immortals of the Pursuit Division.
This is the power generated by the number of people plus the high-level formation!
The two sides are still fighting loudly, but Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang both look relaxed.
After all, with the combat power shown by these five Golden Immortals, Luo Hong doesn't even need to take action, Song Yaoguang alone can easily suppress them with the help of the formation.
Just as Song Yaoguang said, this arrest operation is more of a training exercise.
This went on for ten days. As a ball of blood was shattered, the last blood-haired monk who resisted was immediately suppressed by more than ten flying cloud locks.
After tying him up like a zongzi, Sheng Tianya and the other four threw him in front of Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang. They looked tired but excited and said:
"We have fulfilled our mission and have arrested all the criminals!"
"Very good! These criminals are all guilty of blood debts. You will arrest them today and protect the peace of the fairyland. The palace will reward you with corresponding good deeds!"
Song Yaoguang immediately put on the posture of the deputy palace master, praised everyone's achievements, and promised rewards for good deeds.
"Reward the good and punish the evil, the way of heaven is clear!"
All the true immortals shouted with joy on their faces.
"Bah! What a bullshit good deed! You want to use me to reward me but you dare not say it directly! You lackeys of the Heavenly Court are really disgusting!"
As if he knew what would happen to him, the blood-haired monk actually spoke nonsense and insulted everyone at this time.
"Hmph, Yingying barking is ridiculous, take him away!"
Song Yaoguang snorted coldly and ordered Sheng Tianya and the other four to take the blood-haired monk away.
Then, she looked at Luo Hong and asked in a gentle voice:
"Brother Luo, I plan to take them to the Immortal Execution Platform during the Four Alliances Conference and execute them according to the canon. Do you want to come and watch the ceremony?"
"No, Luo has gained a lot of experience in refining this time, and I need to retreat to digest it. I will leave it all to you, Yaoguang."
The Four Alliances Conference is an exchange conference held by the immortal palaces of the four major immortal realms every thousand years. It is not a big deal, and Luo Hong is too lazy to get involved.
"Well, let's say goodbye for now."
Disappointment flashed in Song Yaoguang's eyes, and he bowed and said goodbye.
Luo Hong nodded when he heard it, and with a slight step, he turned into a black lightning again and moved away.
He went directly back to the cave where the Floating Cloud Mountains were located. Luo Hong looked around the cave and saw that the four ninth-grade immortal weapons were all there.
But this was normal. After all, after so many days, Song Yaoguang and his team did not conceal their actions, and the cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountains had already received the news.
"Good fellow, it turns out that the master is from the Pursuit Division. No wonder he was so confident in leaving the four first-grade immortal artifacts outside the cave!"
"I'm afraid this is not a trick. Fortunately, I have kept my mind steady!"
"He chose the Floating Cloud Mountains as the place for refining the artifacts. He probably wanted to use the seventh-grade heavenly tribulation to test the reaction of the Floating Cloud Patriarch."
"It's strange. There was such a big commotion in the mountains. Why didn't the Floating Cloud Patriarch show up? Could it be..."
"Hey, don't dare to say anything!"
With the return of Luo Hong, the crowd couldn't help but start a new round of discussions.
But the focus of their discussion soon shifted from Luo Hong to the Floating Cloud Patriarch.
The Floating Cloud Patriarch they were talking about was the one who established the rules of the Floating Cloud Mountains. He was a cultivator in the late Taiyi period. He was extremely powerful. He challenged all the major sects in the Black Mountain Immortal Domain with his own strength. He was extremely powerful.
Therefore, although this person had not shown up for a long time, no one dared to violate the rules of the Floating Cloud Mountains.
However, Luo Hong was not interested in their discussion, and immediately used his magic power to transmit his voice to the surrounding areas:
"I have kept you waiting here for a long time. I will continue my retreat to digest the results of refining the tools, but I cannot let you come here in vain.
So today, Luo Hong will auction the two ninth-grade immortal tools for sale. The reserve price of both is 30,000 immortal stones. Those who are interested can bid now."
The four ninth-grade immortal tools are the Nine-aperture Yuanjin Sword, the Bichao Wanlin Armor, the Qinglei Tianyuyi and the Five Elements Qiankun Ring.
The first two were made by Luo Hong for Elder Sun and Xing Wanhai, and are not for sale; the latter two were made by him using part of the thunder beast feathers and the magic materials bought from the Wanbao Pavilion, and Luo Hong is ready to exchange them all for immortal stones.
"Forty thousand immortal stones! I'll pay forty thousand immortal stones for the Qinglei Tianyuyi!"
"Forty thousand is enough to buy the Jiujiu Immortal Artifact. The spirit of the artifact, Tianyu, must be mine. I'll pay fifty thousand!"
The person who bid immediately after seemed to be determined to win, and even named the spirit of the artifact that would be born in the future.
"Thirty-five thousand, the Five Elements Universe Ring!"
Listening to the bidding sounds around him, Luo Hong didn't guide the atmosphere like a normal auctioneer, but just flew quietly in the air.
For these two immortal artifacts, Luo Hong already had a psychological price.
The lightning-avoiding magic of the Qinglei Tianyuyi is more popular, and the price can probably reach 100,000 immortal stones, which is equivalent to an ordinary eighth-grade immortal artifact.
Although the Five Elements Universe Ring is the last ninth-grade immortal artifact refined by Luo Hong, it is more important and its value is slightly lower than that of the Qinglei Tianyuyi, but based on its quality, it can also be sold for 80,000 immortal stones.
Most of the cultivators present were representatives of major sects. Their financial resources were beyond doubt. Moreover, they not only knew the value of the goods, but also wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with Luo Hong.
Therefore, the prices of the two immortal artifacts quickly approached Luo Hong's psychological price.
"150,000! I'll pay 150,000 for both!"
At this moment, an old voice sounded, and it instantly overwhelmed everyone.
150,000 for both, that's 300,000 immortal stones!
Who is so generous!
Including Luo Hong, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but saw that the one who made the bid was an old man in brown clothes who was very unfamiliar to everyone.
"Are you the deputy mountain master of the Black Soil Branch of Baizao Mountain - Fellow Daoist Jingyang?"
But some people quickly recognized Master Jingyang and asked tentatively.
"It is me. Please give me some money today."
Master Jingyang bowed politely to the people around him.
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. You have offered such a high price. What else can we do except give up!
However, after knowing Master Jingyang's identity, everyone was not surprised that his price was so high.
Because Baizaoshan is the most famous refining sect in the fairy world, after they get these two fairy weapons, they can let the Taoist weapon masters in the sect comprehend, so the value of these two fairy weapons is not limited to themselves.
"You old man, you are so generous, and you keep drinking my fairy tea!
No, you must pay in the future!"
After staring at Master Jingyang beside him for a while, the hot fire fairy stared at him with a smile and scolded.
"Three hundred thousand fairy yuan stones, I really want to see what they will look like when they are piled together."
Mo Wuxue couldn't help but fantasize.
"Don't get me wrong, this is the sect's immortal stone, not mine. I'll explain it to you later!"
Master Jingyang quickly explained, and then turned to Luo Hong and bowed:
"Master Luo, can you announce the result?"
"Haha, Daoyou has paid such a high price, naturally there is no suspense, please follow me into the mansion to hand over."
After saying that, Luo Hong waved his sleeves and collected all four immortal tools.
"Thank you."
Master Jingyang's face flashed with joy, and he flew away.
Seeing that the two had entered the cave, everyone did not stay here, and each dispersed and passed the news back to the sect.
In the cave, as soon as Master Jingyang sat down, he took out a storage bag and threw it to Luo Hong.
"Master Luo, there are 300,000 immortal stones here, please count them."
Luo Hong finished counting with a sweep of his spiritual sense, 300,000 pieces, not a single piece less.
So, he immediately took out the Qinglei Tianyuyi and the Five Elements Qiankun Ring, and pushed them in front of Master Jingyang.
"Fellow Daoist Jingyang, you don't have to be so polite. I have just started in the art of refining, and I am not worthy of the title of a master."
Although Luo Hong's words sounded a bit overly modest, they were what he really thought.
"Fellow Daoist Luo is so modest, he will definitely be able to refine a sixth-grade immortal weapon in the future!"
Master Jingyang immediately complimented him again, and put away the two immortal weapons.
"Haha, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. After all, it cost 300,000 immortal stones."
Seeing him like this, Luo Hong knew that the old guy's purpose was definitely not the two ninth-grade immortal weapons.
However, he had expected it, so he chuckled and took the initiative to point out the other party. (End of this chapter)
