High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 677: Chapter 450: Celestial Cross City Lord’s Mansion—Some Will Never See Tomorrow’s Sun

At this moment, Pier subconsciously glanced at Su Mu. Su Mu remained calm and unmoved, and seeing this, Pier felt reassured and murmured softly.

"What nonsense, Celestial Cross Province City Lord’s Mansion..."

Pier originally belonged to the Ray Family but was expelled from the main line. He held a grudge against the Ray Family and its affiliated forces, so he offered a peculiar price.

"One hundred fifty-one thousand Red Marrow per pound."

Hearing this mocking and somewhat humiliating bid, many from the Alien Race looked shocked that someone would be so arrogant, and many started to look towards box number three.

"Ignorant fool."

In box number three, a woman dressed in luxurious attire had a sinister look, directing her fierce gaze toward box thirty.

"Miss, should we continue to raise the bid?"

"No need, since he seeks death, let’s grant his wish. Inform Uncle Li that someone publicly humiliated the Celestial Cross City Lord’s Mansion."

"Yes, Miss."

As box number nine fell silent, Frey quickly announced, "Congratulations to the esteemed guest in box thirty for winning this batch of live creatures."

"This concludes the auction. Thank you to all esteemed guests for your support. We have also prepared a banquet for everyone in the hall."

The auction quickly ended, and Frey on the stage issued a banquet invitation.

Some chose to stay, but most decided to leave after watching the commotion. Those affiliated with the Celestial Cross City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t let their pride be trampled.

Staying might lead to unintended consequences.

Many harboring ill intentions also eyed certain individuals, like those who claimed the Blood Soldiers, followed by several opportunists.

Su Mu observed these alien movements, focusing on those who acquired the Blood Soldiers, though he wouldn’t resort to such low-level tactics.

Su Mu didn’t believe they would succeed against him. He only needed to move his mind to leave a Spirit mark unbeknownst to them.

He first had to address another matter.

"Master, our people have arrived."

"Good."

Su Mu went alone to the auction’s backstage, opened an iron cage, yet no one approached the open gate, each with a pale face, trembling in terror.

Seeing this, a flicker of murderous intent passed through Su Mu’s deep eyes, then he gently called out.

"Xiaoluo."

A little girl trembling in the corner heard her name called and showed a hint of surprise before falling back into endless despair.

"They’re dead, everyone from the chamber is dead, and my father too... That was probably an illusion. Am I going to die?"

"Daddy, Xiaoluo is so scared. Please come and take Xiaoluo away..."

Xiaoluo curled up tighter.

Su Mu took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice gentle, "Xiaoluo, I’ve come to take you. No one will hurt you anymore..."

"No matter who it is..."

Hearing the call again, Xiaoluo trembled and slowly lifted her head. She saw a silhouette that seemed familiar but couldn’t quite recall.

But it wasn’t the delusion before dying.

The silhouette walked closer, reaching toward her.

Xiaoluo reached out, but the next moment she let out a weak gasp, her just raised hand fell, and she fainted.

Seeing this, murderous intent flickered in Su Mu’s eyes. He gently picked up the unconscious Xiaoluo and carried her out of the backstage.

"Pier, take them out of the city and give each a sum of money."

"Yes, Master."

A silhouette silently observed everything inside the iron cage and deeply etched Su Mu’s image into memory.

Su Mu’s convoy quickly left the city, followed by another convoy departing Loris City. The City Guard received Frey’s order to let them pass directly.

The guards on the city walls watched the convoys move away, knowing that some wouldn’t survive the night nor see tomorrow’s sun.

In the convoy leaving the city, a thin Alien Race member with a fierce Barbaric Beast tattoo on his face inquired.

"Miss, how do you want to handle those people?"

"Kill them all."

...

Deep in the Southern War Zone lies a heavily guarded villa district.

These are large estates, more like manors, serving as homes for the Southern War Zone’s highest Commander-in-Chief and family members.

In the backyard of a certain manor, an enormous outdoor Martial Arts Arena is surrounded by burly soldiers.

Inside the arena, motion and stillness coexist.

Stillness comes from an elder clad in a special Physical Training Suit, standing in the center unmoved.

The next moment.

Whew------

A Long Saber swiftly pierced the air, relentlessly attacking around the elder, with flashing saber light forming an airtight saber net.

No matter how fierce the saber net, it couldn’t penetrate closer to the elder, seemingly blocked by an invisible force, only showing vibrant glimmers in his clouded eyes.

Soon the saber light dissipated, and the moon-black Long Saber hovered in the air, revealing a girl around eight or nine, with a ponytail and delicate face.

"Grandpa Zhao, stop, stop, I’m no match for you..." Su Xiaoyue showed helplessness, slightly discouraged.
