Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

Immediately afterwards, the powerful figure who had been following them also stepped forward slightly, walking through the void towards the depths of the desert, but his speed was not fast, obviously out of consideration for them.

Seeing this, Gu Xun'er followed closely with Xiao Miao. The howling sandstorm along the way automatically dissipated when it was within a hundred meters of the two of them. The sandstorm, which was extremely terrifying to ordinary people, did not pose any obstacle to them. Xiao Miao couldn't help but look back. The other members of the ancient clan were also following behind. It seemed that no one wanted to fall behind. However, Gu Xun'er and he were still at the forefront.

Although his fighting spirit was sealed, he was being guided by Gu Xun'er. Seeing this, Xiao Miao could tell that Gu Xun'er was far superior to them in terms of speed. However, the arrogant group from before was keeping up quite closely and occasionally glared at him. He just made a face and mocked them back, which made the group following behind angry and they subtly increased their speed.

Gu Xun'er naturally knew what the boy on her back had done. A faint, beautiful smile appeared on her lips, and she suddenly increased her speed again, leaving everyone with her receding figure.

With the powerful figures leading the way, Gu Xun'er quickly led Xiao Miao into the depths of the desert. Finally, they followed the others to the top of an extremely steep sand dune. Xiao Miao looked outwards, and a look of surprise once again appeared on her beautiful face.

In the heart of the desert, in the depression of a towering sand dune, a massive black hole, hundreds of feet in size, was slowly rotating, with strong gravitational pull emanating from it.

Meanwhile, on the surrounding sand dunes, several figures with extremely powerful auras would occasionally flash past and rush into the spatial wormhole.

Seeing this, Xiao Miao understood that the real location of this Space Trade Fair was probably a space constructed by someone, just like the ancient world.

Seeing the figures flashing by all around, Gu Xun'er no longer hesitated, and pulled the boy beside her away in a flash.

As Gu Xun'er led Xiao Miao into the space, Xiao Miao clearly felt a strange power sweep over him. However, this power did not seem to be malicious; rather, it was more like a probe.

Upon entering the black hole, Xiao Miao's vision went black for a moment, followed by a burst of light and noisy sounds. He squinted and saw that the world in front of him had transformed into the shape of a small town. The town was not large, but when Xiao Miao looked up at the sky, it was a hazy gray color, and faintly, there seemed to be a violent spatial fluctuation emanating from it.

Chapter 132 Conception

Although the space before us is not as vast and expansive as the ancient realm, it is still quite ample for use as a trading location.

Just as Xiao Miao was observing the surrounding scene, a few ancient clan members who had lagged behind earlier also followed in.

However, no one spoke to each other; they all dispersed.

As for Xiao Miao, even if he wanted to leave, Gu Xun'er wouldn't let him go alone, so they could only stay together.

Both sides of the street were lined with bluestone platforms, on which floated scrolls, jade bottles, and even weapons and magic cores. A faint light emanated from these objects, indicating that they were not ordinary items. Behind the platforms, several figures sat cross-legged.

In Xiao Miao's perception, each of these people possessed a powerful aura and was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"Transformation Pill, a high-grade seventh-rank pill."

"Earth Demon Fist, a high-level Earth-rank combat skill."

"Xuanqing Technique, a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation method."

Gu Xun'er and Xiao Miao kept walking around, their eyes constantly scanning the objects around them.

As his gaze darted around, a dazzling array of items flashed into Xiao Miao's eyes, each one a rare treasure rarely seen in the outside world.

Suddenly, Xiao Miao's eyes widened slightly, clearly shocked once again. He had actually seen a low-level Heaven-rank combat skill here, and there were already quite a few people standing around. However, none of them dared to step forward and cause trouble. In this place, if you want to get your hands on the treasure you want, you must offer something that satisfies the other party. Don't think about forcibly taking it in this place. If you do, you will not only be besieged by the three major sects that are organizing the event, but you will also attract the hostility of other powerful people. This is because everyone who participates in the Space Trade Fair must swear that any troublemaker in the trade fair will be attacked by the masses.

The truly strong are mostly those who keep their oaths. Therefore, although there have been cases of robbery over the years, those people generally do not fare well.

Xiao Miao looked at the crowd of people surrounding him, but no one stepped forward. He guessed that they didn't have anything of equal value to exchange for it. But that made sense, since it was a Heaven-rank fighting skill, its value was naturally immeasurable.

Seeing Xiao Miao's interested expression, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but look at where his gaze was focused. After discovering that it was a low-level Heaven-rank fighting skill, she only raised her eyebrows slightly.

While Heavenly Rank combat techniques might cause countless people to fight in the outside world, they are not some extremely rare treasures for Gu poison. Her ancient clan does possess Heavenly Rank combat techniques.

But seeing that Xiao Miao seemed somewhat interested, he still pulled her into the crowd.

"Do you want it? Xiao Miao, if you behave, I'll get it for you, how about it?"

At this moment, Gu Xun'er extended an alluring invitation to Xiao Miao. Unfortunately, this fighting technique was not very attractive to him, and the price to be paid would be enormous. Gu Xun'er would definitely demand it back from him.

After Xiao Miao shook his head and refused, he let her continue to lead him. He was also very curious whether Gu Xun'er had any interest in anything, but he was somewhat disappointed. The rare treasures they encountered along the way were only glanced at by her, and she did not show any interest.

This made Gu Xun'er feel a little regretful. After all, if he had agreed, she would have had a reason to demand it every night. Wasn't that the price of the deal?

At the same time, he was also secretly looking for the cold treasures he needed. He did find one or two high-level ice-attribute cultivation techniques, but the rest disappointed him.

However, he hadn't used the Yin Cold Wood Branch that he had obtained in the Black Corner Region. He had snatched it from those people and kept it in his storage ring, but before he could use it, Gu Xun'er had tied him up and brought him to the Ancient Realm.

Thinking of this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. However, he also took away his storage ring. Despite his repeated pleas, Gu Xun'er ignored him completely, claiming that she would return it to him when she dispelled his fighting spirit.

Gu Xun'er pulled Xiao Miao around and headed towards the other end of the street. The Space Town had several ancient streets that crisscrossed each other. Xiao Miao followed the girl through several ancient streets, not stopping to admire the dazzling array of goods on both sides, heading straight for their destination. Finally, they stopped at the end of a street.

This should clearly be the end of Space Town, and the surroundings are now empty and deserted, no longer as noisy as before. Here, an ancient pavilion stands, and a sense of vicissitude permeates the air, as if it has existed since time immemorial, making people dare not underestimate it in the slightest.

Xiao Miao followed Gu Xun'er to this place, which seemed to be their destination.

Outside this ancient pavilion, two elderly men dressed in gray robes stood expressionless. They were like statues, their bodies motionless, yet they still exuded a powerful aura that subtly emanated from their bodies, making people feel awe.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Miao was shocked. Although his senses could not clearly perceive the exact strength of the expert before him, he was indeed no less powerful than those outside, and perhaps even slightly stronger. However, this was merely a gatekeeper. If such a powerful expert were placed outside, he would be considered a formidable opponent.

Just as Xiao Miao was thinking about how to get in, Gu Xun'er stretched out her jade finger and flicked it forward. Instantly, a red light shot out from her straight sleeve and flew towards the two old men, who then caught it steadily, transforming it into a red jade body.

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Miao realized that something was required to enter, which explained why there was a gatekeeper standing in front of the pavilion.

"please."

After receiving the red light, the two expressionless old men's faces showed a slight ripple. Their cloudy eyes looked at the two men, then they bent down slightly, flicked their sleeves, and two black lights swept towards the two men, then hovered in front of them, revealing a pitch-black cloak.

Gu Xun'er took the cloak first, facing Xiao Miao with tender eyes, then draped it over Xiao Miao's shoulders. She then took another cloak and draped it over herself before explaining:

"Most of the people who go inside conceal their identities, after all, it's best not to flaunt your wealth. This thing is specially made by the organizers and can defend against other people's detection."

Listening to Gu Xun'er's words, Xiao Miao probed Gu Xun'er's body with his soul. Sure enough, he couldn't sense her. Then he touched the black robe covering his body. This thing was interesting. Unfortunately, he had his own bloodline secret technique. As long as he didn't make a move, no one else could sense him. However, for others, it might be a good thing to kill and steal. For some reason, Xiao Miao heard Xiao Yan's voice in his mind. He felt that this thing was very suitable for him.

Chapter 133 The Incredibly Valuable Wooden Vine Spirit (Shamelessly asking for support)

The two stepped into the ancient pavilion. Xiao Miao's eyes swept around. The pavilion was dimly lit and looked quite ordinary. There was nothing special about it, nor did it have any sense of preciousness.

"You two, please follow me."

Suddenly, as Xiao Miao looked around, an old man in gray robes walked quickly from the side, whispered something to the two of them, and then walked into the dimly lit depths of the pavilion.

Gu Xun'er didn't say anything, and pulled Xiao Miao along as they went out.

The two walked along the corridor inside the attic for a few minutes before finally stopping in front of a large bronze door. The old man also stopped there, cupped his hands in greeting to the two, and left quietly without saying a word.

Gu Xun'er stepped forward and slowly pushed open the ancient bronze door. A faint light shone out from it, and then the two of them stepped inside.

After entering the bronze gate, Xiao Miao narrowed his eyes slightly. As the faint light faded, an ancient hall about half the size of a square came into view.

Inside this ancient hall, there are many stone chairs, and at this moment, many people are sitting on these chairs. However, like the two of them, these people are covered by black cloaks, and no one knows their identities.

Their entry attracted some glances, but those glances quickly shifted away. However, Xiao Miao could still sense that some eyes were secretly scanning them back and forth, as if trying to find out their identities from some clues.

Gu Xun'er led Xiao Miao to a relatively secluded spot, then sat down and whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Miao, wait a little longer, the trading here will begin soon."

Xiao Miao felt the girl beside him holding his hand tightly and nodded slightly. This was the first time he had come to such a grand occasion. He would just follow the girl beside him. However, he felt a little guilty. Although Gu Xun'er had not mistreated him after bringing him to the Ancient Realm, he still longed for the freedom to go out. He could only apologize in his heart and make it up to her in the future.

The two did not exchange many words afterward, as the room was generally quiet and continuing to talk would likely attract the attention of others.

Two hours passed quietly in the stillness of the place. As more and more figures dressed in black cloaks entered, there were eventually no fewer than a hundred people there.

Xiao Miao looked at these people, wondering if any of the other members of the ancient clan were among them. Since these black robes and cloaks could block detection, he had no way of knowing.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a melodious and clear bell rang out in the quiet ancient hall. Then, in the center of the hall, an old man with white hair and beard, who looked like he was about to die, slowly appeared in everyone's sight in the distorted space.

The old man wasn't wearing a black robe, but in Xiao Miao's soul perception, this seemingly half-dead old man was quite terrifying, at least in his perception, he was more unfathomable than the two old men guarding the outer gate.

"Hehe, it's another space trade fair. Hope you're all doing well."

The white-haired, white-browed old man swept his gaze around the hall, and his aged but powerful voice rang in everyone's ears. However, no one responded to his greeting, and the atmosphere remained strangely quiet.

The old man, however, seemed unconcerned. It appeared that this was not his first time experiencing something like this; on the contrary, he was quite familiar with it. With a wave of his sleeve, the space around him slowly distorted, then formed a spatial prison that surrounded him.

"These are all old rules, I hope you don't mind."

The white-haired old man smiled suddenly, appearing somewhat serene. However, those who knew him well knew that this old man was not as benevolent as he seemed. He then stood on the auction platform in front of him, coughed, and spoke softly once more:

"Now that most people have arrived, let's skip the pleasantries and begin this year's Space Trade Fair."

As the white-haired old man finished speaking, almost all eyes in the hall instantly focused on him. There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in the shadows. Even Xiao Miao's eyes were filled with anticipation. After all, he knew from Gu Xun'er that the items that could be traded here were treasures that were even rarer than those outside.

"The first item at this space trade fair."

"Wood Vine Spirit".

The old man swept his palm across the void in front of him, and a green vine the size of a wrist appeared in everyone's sight within the distorted spatial wall. Even from a distance, the vitality emanating from it could be felt.

Upon hearing this name, everyone present was somewhat taken aback. As its name suggested, this vine was indeed extraordinary. It was said to be a treasure from a mysterious realm at the extreme edge of the Eastern Continent, brimming with vitality. If a wood-attribute cultivator were to absorb it, the boost to their battle qi would be immense. Moreover, the vitality within could heal the wounded and even advance their cultivation further. Therefore, even those who were not wood-attribute cultivators would have an extra chance to survive if they brought it back. It was unknown who would be willing to put it up for auction.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed intently on the vines in front of them.

"The owner of this Wood Vine Spirit wants to exchange it for an eighth-grade pill that has undergone four-colored pill lightning. After evaluation, the Wood Vine Spirit is worth this price, so if you are interested, please make an offer."

After the old man finished speaking, the hall fell silent once again.

Upon hearing the words, Xiao Miao was mainly shocked by the value of the exchange. Although he knew nothing about the Wood Vine Spirit, he knew it was no ordinary Wood Vine Spirit just from the fact that it required an eighth-grade pill to exchange for it.

What puzzled Xiao Miao was that such a treasure couldn't possibly be unwanted, yet the main hall was completely silent. However, the old man showed no concern about this phenomenon and continued to smile.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long. Two or three minutes later, a chilling, hoarse voice rang out.

"I want it"

Xiao Miao followed the source of the unsettling sound and saw a figure completely shrouded in a cloak casually tossing out a jade bottle, which then landed steadily in the old man's hand.
