Chapter 1575: Chapter 583: Fierce Battle at the Dock, Primordial Chaos Tripod Shows Its Power

Cold Palace!

The auction continued in an orderly manner.

An auction of such magnitude, involving the manifold resources and complex negotiations of various interests, simply could not be concluded within two or three days.

Of course, the number of Cultivators present at the venue had already diminished by nearly half.

This was related to Feileng City’s prohibition of fighting, as well as the current chaotic situation caused by the frequent appearance of Calamity Cultivators.

Some Rogue Cultivators without significant backing or whose own strength was not formidable would choose to leave early after acquiring the resources they wanted to avoid being tracked and ambushed by those who failed to secure their bids.

In a spacious and luxurious private room on the fourth floor.

A Golden Core Cultivator hurried in from outside.

“True Master, there has been an incident!”

Fu Chaosheng’s brow furrowed, “What happened?”

Dan Shubao approached and spoke in a quiet yet rapid tone: “That Independent Cultivator Luo Hai has provoked the Qian Family, and they sent several Golden Core Cultivators to surround and kill him. This person is indeed fierce, managing to forcefully break out of the encirclement. However, the Qian Family, having operated in Coldlight Island for years with intricate relations with the major powers of the island, has begun convening them for a pursuit and blockade. According to the latest intelligence I’ve received, Refining Sharpedge, Hundred Craft Mountain, and the Wu Family have all dispatched a significant number of Golden Core Cultivators from various directions to intercept Luo Hai.”

After hearing this news, Fu Chaosheng’s brows relaxed.

“I thought it was something serious. Such trivial matters need not be reported to me.”

Dan Shubao was taken aback.

He said subconsciously, “True Master, didn’t you regard that Rogue Cultivator quite highly?”

“What makes you say that?” Fu Chaosheng asked with a chuckle.

Dan Shubao seemed to have realized something, but he still continued along the topic, “Well, you offered him pills, bestowed treasures, and even recommended him to the Mo Luo Sect, Penglai Immortal Sect, and Golden Core Cultivators close to our Tianyuan Commercial Alliance, this…”

Fu Chaosheng shook his head, “Hasn’t he chosen not to align himself with any of these three parties? Besides, I gave him pills and treasures, and in return, he gifted a piece of Thousand Years Thunder Jade. The debts of gratitude between us are not significant. If anything, he owes me a favor, and it’s his turn to repay me. Now that he’s in trouble, should I really go to his rescue?”

Dan Shubao was astonished.

Fu Chaosheng, however, asked another question.

“Among those chasing him, how many Great Cultivators are there?”

After pondering for a moment, Dan Shubao replied, “Qian Family Patriarch Qian Ting is at the Golden Core Seventh Level, the Master of Hundred Craft Mountain is at the Golden Core Eighth Layer. Refining Sharpedge did not deploy any Great Cultivators, but sent the Xiang Family Brothers who are adept at combined attack techniques, each wielding a flying chain that strikes from the sky, hard to defend against. Together, they are a match even for average Great Cultivators. As for the Wu Family, their whereabouts are somewhat mysterious; they were not in the city from the start, and I have no knowledge of their movements.”

“Oh, and the Han Li Sect, which left the venue early, is also heading in that direction under the leadership of Sect Master Luo Yuqing, presumably wanting to reap the benefits of a fisherman.”

At this point, Dan Shubao’s expression showed a hint of regret.

“With such a pursuit force, even we who are Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators would have difficulty escaping harm, and Luo Hai is only at the Fourth layer of Golden Core, I’m afraid his chances of survival are slim.”

After hearing the list of pursuers, Fu Chaosheng weighed the situation in his mind.

In the end, he put away his smile.

“I am quite favorably disposed towards that junior. After all, he comprehended the Nascent Soul Formation Technique at the Middle Stage Golden Core. Even in our Tianyuan Daoist Sect, he would be considered a genius.”

“But no matter how outstanding a talent is, should they perish midway, they are still but a clump of yellow soil in the end.”

“Let’s see what fate has in store for that junior!”

After speaking, he moved his lips again, this time without sound emanating.

Dan Shubao clearly received a transmission and showed a look of shock upon hearing it.

“True Master! This is against the rules laid out by our Daoist Sect for the Commercial Alliance.”

Fu Chaosheng gave him a cold glance, “The Yuan Mo Sect has been annihilated, North Sea hangs in the balance, some dead rules need to be changed when it’s time to change. If this matter succeeds, both you and I can return to Zhongzhou and cultivate in the holy land of the Daoist Sect.”

In conclusion, he added,

“Uncle Bao, you don’t want to stay overseas for a lifetime either, do you!”

Dan Shubao opened his mouth, his expression changing.

After a long pause, he finally made up his mind.

“I shall obey the True Master’s command! I will sabotage the Teleportation Formation.”

Fu Chaosheng nodded in satisfaction, “Do it discreetly. After all, we are just using others to do our dirty work. We don’t need to act personally in this matter, and even if the Sect holds us accountable, it has nothing to do with us.”

Dan Shubao, having received the order, quietly exited the palace.

As for Independent Cultivator Luo Hai?

He had long since put that to the back of his mind, no longer paying any attention to it.

…

At the North City Dock of Feileng City, a thousand sails unfurled, a hundred ships moored steadfastly.

The bustle was as usual, the sea calm and tranquil.

Bai Xiang stood on the Bai family’s merchant ship, a look of melancholia on his face.

“As wonderful as the bustling Feileng City is, it ultimately is not a place where we can stay for long!”

“Better to return to White Sand Island, to watch the seabirds circling and the winds caressing the waves every day!”

After a moment of sentiment, he asked without looking back, “How is the inventory going?”

The Bai family’s Qi Refinement Cultivators were used to their Elder’s prescient demeanour.

It’s just the Spirit Consciousness of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, after all!

The Bai family’s Cultivator immediately reported, “Everything has been checked. It’s just that we’re carrying a bit more this time around, and I estimate it will take twice as long to sail back.”

Bai Xiang smacked his lips, “A little more is fine. We didn’t make any business on the way here, if we don’t earn more on the way back, it won’t be easy to explain to the clan.”

After saying this, he raised his hand, prepared to signal departure.

However.

Before his hand lowered, he abruptly turned around.

Behind him, a Bai family Cultivator pointed and said, “Elder, look at those two Glints, they’re moving so fast!”

“I know!”
