Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

The items displayed earlier held no interest for him whatsoever; he sat there indifferently, his gaze barely lingering. Just then, Lu Keke suddenly became excited and announced loudly, "Next up is the grand finale of this auction—the Fire Demon Lizard Beast Core! The starting bid for this core is 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, and each bid must increase by at least 1,000!" As her words fell, a Fire Demon Lizard Beast Core, gleaming with a dazzling red light, was carefully presented to the crowd. The light was so intense that even from dozens of meters away, people could clearly feel a strong, scorching heat emanating from it.

The atmosphere instantly became heated, with someone eagerly bidding first: "I bid 51,000!" Immediately followed by another voice: "52,000!" "53,000!"... The bidding rose and fell, constantly climbing. Before long, the price soared to 100,000 top-grade spirit stones. At this point, very few people continued to bid, as those who could readily offer so many top-grade spirit stones were extremely rare.

However, just when everyone thought the price was about to be finalized, a deep and powerful voice called out the astonishingly high price of "150,000." For a moment, the entire hall fell into a brief silence. All eyes involuntarily turned to the bidder.

A moment later, another voice broke the silence. It was Wu Feilong shouting, "151,000!" Faced with such an outrageously high price, everyone else hesitated and no one dared to bid again. Seeing this, Lu Ke smiled with satisfaction and shouted, "Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on this incomparably precious Fire Demon Lizard Beast Core!"

At the same time, the Nascent Soul stage expert in the VIP room on the second floor turned to the young prince beside him and asked softly, "Young prince, do you think we should take this opportunity to capture this person on the spot?"

Qin Liang waved his hand lightly and said in a low voice, "There are too many people here, and he is only at the Golden Core stage. Besides, we have already successfully left a unique mark on that flame, so there is no need to rush. It is not too late to capture and interrogate him in a secluded place. You should know that they used the token of the Wu Ping Prince's Mansion when they entered this place. In my opinion, Wu Feilong may be not far from here."

Recalling the previous theft of the Yuan Stone, the Wuping Prince's Mansion had to compensate the Qin Prince's Mansion with a considerable amount of property to appease the situation, finally calming the storm. This time, as soon as the transaction ended, Wu Feilong, as usual, carefully disguised himself and left the Jinghua Auction House. However, he was unaware that a group of mysterious people were secretly following him.

Wu Feilong, being exceptionally astute and intelligent, quickly realized he was being followed. However, instead of heading to secluded spots, he headed straight for the city's brothels. It turned out that he had recently figured out the habits of the young prince of Wuping's mansion—whenever he had free time, the prince would visit this brothel to gather intelligence and enjoy the graceful dances of the courtesans. As expected, the young prince had indeed appeared there again today.

Wu Feilong blended seamlessly into the bustling crowd, then quickly entered a guest room, closed the doors and windows, and skillfully cast a spell, instantly changing his original appearance.

A peerless expert at the Nascent Soul stage led a group of subordinates and arrived at this renowned brothel with great momentum. It should be noted that this place belonged to the Wuping Prince's Mansion, and even with their superior strength, they dared not act rashly here, and could only cautiously search for their target.

Just then, Wu Feilong brushed past the group of uninvited guests, but surprisingly, neither side noticed the other's presence. Wu Feilong swaggered out of the brothel, a smug smile on his face.

However, just as Wu Feilong was basking in self-satisfaction, he suddenly felt a chill rise up his spine, as if a pair of sharp eyes were staring intently at him. He subconsciously turned around and, sure enough, saw a Taoist priest in a yellow robe, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, staring intently at him.

Wu Feilong's heart tightened, and he knew something was wrong, but on the surface, he remained calm and continued walking towards the outskirts as if nothing had happened. The mysterious yellow-robed Taoist followed closely behind like a ghost, always maintaining a certain distance.

As the sun gradually set, a magnificent sunset painted the sky. Wu Feilong, sensing the danger, decided to no longer conceal his strength. He abruptly drew his sword, stepped onto its blade, and soared into the sky like lightning, disappearing into the distance. The Taoist priest, seeing this, curled his lip in a disdainful smile and, similarly, used his sword-wielding technique to give chase.

Before long, the two flew one after the other to a secluded grove of trees. Seeing that he couldn't shake off the pursuer, Wu Feilong stopped and landed steadily on a branch of a large tree. The Taoist priest followed suit, landing only a few feet away from Wu Feilong.

Wu Feilong stared at the Taoist priest of unknown origin before him and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Why have you been following me?"

The Taoist priest sneered and said, "I am the Thunder and Lightning King. You, at such a young age, dare to covet the Qin Prince's mansion. You truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feilong's expression changed, and he roared, "Aren't you afraid of Prince Wu Ping behind me?"

"What is there to fear from a dying man!" With these contemptuous words, the Thunder King launched his attack. He swung his arm sharply, and dozens of talismans shimmering with yellow light shot out like arrows. Faced with such a fierce onslaught, Wu Feilong remained unfazed. His body instantly ignited with raging phoenix flames, forming a scorching shield that tightly enveloped him. The moment the yellow talismans touched his body, they turned to ash in the blink of an eye, dissipating into the air.

At this moment, the Thunder King gripped the Soul-Capturing Bell tightly, chanting incantations. As the bell rang, one after another, grotesque zombies, reeking of a nauseating stench, burst forth from the ground. Wielding hands like steel claws, they leaped with astonishing speed, charging straight at Wu Feilong. However, Wu Feilong remained calm. He swiftly unleashed his unique skill—Starfire Finger. He brought two fingers together, a dazzling beam of light condensing at the tip, shooting straight at the onrushing zombies like a laser. With a deafening roar, the first few zombies were instantly blasted to pieces, their limbs flying everywhere.

Seeing this, the Thunder King was not to be outdone. He quickly clenched his fingers and chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation. Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a powerful bolt of lightning crashed down with immense force. At this critical moment, Wu Feilong displayed his extraordinary agility. He swiftly used the Thunder Light Step, his figure moving like lightning in an instant, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. The terrifying lightning struck the ground beside him heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust.
