Chapter 279: Escaping
"Do these people think I am dead?" Jiang Yue grumbled angrily.
He couldn’t stand that the two masters were ignoring him and acting as if they already owned the mutated void stone.
’In that case...’
With a devilish look on his face, he pressed the bid button and called out.
"Five billion spirit stones."
"Insolent." Someone shouted and a bang was heard from a fourth-floor private box.
"Young man, I advise you to know when to stop." Another shout came.
However, Jiang Yue was severely annoyed.
XiaoLan wanted the mutated void stone and Jiang Yue wasn’t willing to back down.
If he didn’t have a way out, he would have probably been less reckless.
Fortunately, he did have a way out and he could be as unscrupulous as he wanted.
"Yue’er..." Bing Lan called and then sighed.
At this point, they were all riding on a tiger and there was no chance to get off.
Since Jiang Yue was determined not to be polite to the old monsters, there was no use in saying anything.
"Five billion spirit stones going once." Old man Jun started and waited for a counter.
However, when there was no counter, he continued the call and the stone was soon sold to Jiang Yue.
"Are you happy?" Yu Nianzhen asked and rubbed his husband’s hair.
"Happy." Jiang Yue said and chucked a little mischievously.
"We should get out of here as soon as the auction ends." Yang Xu said and looked at his disciple meaningfully.
"Master doesn’t need to worry about it." Yu Nianzhen assured.
When he and Jiang Yue decided to take part in the auction, they already knew things wouldn’t end well.
After all, the things they wanted to buy and sell weren’t ordinary.
If they weren’t careful, they would not only lose their treasures but also their lives.
Fortunately, they had the ancient palace and the golden teleportation talisman.
When the time came, they would stash Yang Xu and Bing Lan in the ancient palace and then teleport back to the Fair Plum inn.
"Master, mistress, is there something you want? The disciple still hasn’t shown filial piety." Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Don’t care about filial piety. It will be good if we can keep our lives after being dragged by two provocative brats." Yang Xu complained but smiled behind his wine gourd.
In cultivation, the most important thing was forging forward even in the face of danger.
Although the auction house was not an actual battlefield, it was one in some ways.
He appreciated that Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen didn’t allow themselves to be pushed around by the old monsters.
Most importantly, he appreciated that their actions were not mindlessly reckless.
Since his disciple said he had a way out, then there was nothing to worry about.
As a master who shamelessly relied on his disciple, Yang Xu’s role was to watch a good show.
After the void stone, several other items went on auction.
Although the items were valuable, those in box two hundred and seventy-seven didn’t care about them and they did not bid.
Soon after the auction entered the finale stage.
This stage consisted of ten items and each was more valuable that the other.
However, Yu Nianzhen and his group were not interested in these things so they didn’t pay too much attention.
"There shouldn’t be any surprises in the last ten items. If there is nothing we want, we should think about leaving." Bing Lan suddenly said.
Behind her veil, her lips curled in a frown and her heart was strangely excited.
She felt like she was about to fall into danger but couldn’t pinpoint the source of danger.
However, she didn’t dare to ignore this omen.
As a cultivator in the origin tempering realm, her intuition was extremely sharp.
Most importantly, she was an ice marrow physique which was both loved and envied by the heavens.
When it came down to it, the heavens still favoured her and her intuition was better than ordinary origin-tempering realm cultivators.
"LanLan." Yang Xu called and looked at his wife in his concern.
"Do you also feel it?" She asked.
"I do." Yang Xu said and his voice was a little solemn.
For some reason, he felt like they were all being watched by a poisonous creature.
If they didn’t leave right away, they would definitely have a bad ending.
"We should leave now." He said to Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue.
"Master, mistress, please enter the ancient palace. XiaoYue and I will take you away."
When they heard that, Yang Xu and Bing Lan were taken aback.
They didn’t expect that the escape plan involved them hiding in the ancient palace while the young men took risks.
"Master, XiaoYue and I are confident about escaping. Don’t worry about us." Yu Nianzhen assured.
Although he had used teleportation to take Bing Lan from the Ice Palace sect, he hadn’t said anything about the golden teleportation talisman.
It’s not that he didn’t trust his master and mistress. It was just that the talisman was his and Jiang Yue’s last resort.
No matter what, they didn’t want a third person to know the specific details of the talisman.
As such, he could only be vague when he explained his escape plan.
"Nianzhen, are you sure about this?" Yang Xu asked with a serious look on his face.
"I am sure."
"Alright."
After saying that, Yang Xu grabbed Bing Lan and both disappeared from the box.
At the same time, a small palace fell onto the floor and Jiang Yue picked it up.
"Master’s ancient palace is indeed bigger and grander than ours." He admired as he looked at the mini-palace.
"If you want, we can refine a better palace in the future."
"Let’s worry about that in the future." Jiang Yue said and smiled at Yu Nianzhen.
He was about to say something when he felt a chill on his spine and his body shivered a little.
"People are approaching our box." He said.
"I know." Yu Nianzhen said and clenched his hands.
He could feel the malicious intent of those approaching the box but he could do nothing but escape.
’It won’t always be like this.’ He promised himself.
He didn’t like escaping but that was all they seemed to always be doing.
At this time, he could tell that those approaching their box were above the origin tempering realm.
Even more unfortunate, there was one at the nascent soul realm and his qi presence had already begun to invade their box.
[We should leave right away.] Yu Nianzhen transmitted and took his husband’s hand.
Although the enemies would not dare to start something in the BlueStar Treasure pavilion, there were many ways to deal with them.
Yu Nianzhen was especially worried that a nascent soul realm cultivator would pin them down using his qi presence.
If that happened, they would have a hard time activating the teleportation talisman which would trap them in the BlueStar Treasure Pavillion.
[You are right, let’s go.]
The two looked at each other and sent their soul power into golden talismans in their sea of consciousness.
A moment later, the talisman shone with a golden light and two people disappeared from box two hundred and seventy-seven of the BlueStar treasure Pavilion.
.....
In a box on the third floor, Zhu Bing narrowed his eyes and his fists clenched.
"Interesting." He suddenly said.
"What is?" Someone from the Great Zhu empire asked.
However, Zhu Bing did not answer.
At the moment, he was trying to analyse everything he observed with his divine sense.
Although he couldn’t see the identities of those in box two hundred and seventy-seven, he could make out their actions.
He was initially surprised when two people suddenly disappeared, leaving behind two.
Before he could make anything of that, the remaining two also disappeared and Zhu Bing couldn’t help but be curious.
The reason he was curious was because the auction house of the BlueStar treasure pavilion was surrounded by several formations.
One of the formations especially prevented teleportation.
However, the four cultivators in the box had undoubtedly teleported out of the auction house.
’I heard that no one could track Yu Nianzhen when he took Bing Lan from the Ice Palace sect. Could this be...’ He wondered but he was not alone.
More than half the cultivators in the auction house had been keeping an eye on box two hundred and seventy-seven.
When the first two people disappeared, the observers noticed and some hastened to take action before the other two also disappeared.
Unfortunately, everyone was too late.
When they arrived outside the box, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue had long left the auction house with their gains.
"They dare make a fool of me." A man muttered and his eyes turned red.
He looked like he was covered in evil spirits and his aura made those around him tremble in terror.
"Yang Xu, I will never spare you." He said and decisively walked out of the auction house.
