The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Fire Phoenix Essence Blood?

It has to be at the Qiankun Realm...

As soon as Ye Wujiang stated his conditions, everyone present knew his intentions.

Ye Wuyou, who was sitting in the second-tier audience seats, was so excited that he almost stood up.

"Father……"

"You really haven't forgotten your mother..."

Seeing Ye Wuyou's tearful face, Long Ao, who was standing next to Ye Wuyou, sighed helplessly.

Chu Xiu was the only one in the room who seemed a little lost. He turned his head with a question in his eyes and looked at Bai Yao, who had returned from behind the scenes.

Bai Yao, her eyes filled with sorrow, explained to him:

"The sect leader's wife, who is also Miss Wuyou's mother, was teleported to the depths of the Misty Sea when she was exploring a secret realm a hundred years ago..."

"When the sect leader found the lady on the coastal border of Dongzhou, her physical body had already lost all vitality, and her soul had been sealed in her sea of ​​consciousness."

"Legend has it that the essence blood within the Fire Phoenix, which possesses the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix, has miraculous effects such as reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones..."

"And the sect leader's wife is a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm..."

Chu Xiu suddenly realized: "That's why the sect leader needs the essence blood of the Qiankun Realm Fire Phoenix to activate the vitality of the sect leader's wife's body, so that it is possible to penetrate into her sea of ​​consciousness and remove the seal on the sect leader's wife's soul."

Is this the reason why Nightless Blade and the Misty Sea made a deal?

Chu Xiu pondered, and in his storage space, the Fire Phoenix Feather given to him by the Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor emitted a faint golden light.

Upon closer inspection, one can see the essence blood of the fire phoenix flowing within the feathered branches.

He possesses the essence blood of a Fire Phoenix at the Qiankun Realm level.

Moreover, it was created by a Fire Phoenix Demon Emperor.

However, the essence blood of the Fire Phoenix is ​​extremely expensive, and he only has a single drop contained within the Fire Phoenix feather.

This item is indeed of little use to him now, merely a means of survival. However, with the protection of the Ancient God's Reversal of Stars technique, he has no need for it.

Well then, if no one makes a bid, and it is found that Ye Wujiang's dealings with Misty Sea do not pose a threat to Tianlu, I will find a suitable opportunity to do Ye Wujiang a favor.

"Fire Phoenix Essence Blood?"

"Since the great war between demons and monsters, no powerful demons have come to our demon realm for tens of thousands of years. Who has the essence blood of the Fire Phoenix?"

"Old Monster Ye's hopes will likely be dashed again, just like always..."

Sighs echoed from the third floor.

As expected of these Qiankun Realm experts, although everyone present coveted the so-called ancient god's relic, none of them possessed a rare item like the Fire Phoenix Essence Blood, and therefore they were unable to bid.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu had no choice but to announce that the item would not be auctioned.

"Now, we come to the last item in this auction—"

"The Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth!"

"The owner of this auctioned item does not need money or treasures."

"It's a promise from the person who gets to photograph this item!"

"A promise sworn by the will of Heaven!"

"promise?"

"interesting."

Chu Xiu turned around, making way for the center of the display stand.

Bai Yao and Bai Tiao turned and went backstage. A short while later, they helped an elderly and frail woman to the center of the display stand.

The old woman glanced at the third floor and said tremblingly, "If anyone here can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and grant me one request—to kill someone for me—then I can take this Qiankun Dao Fruit."

Several late-stage and even Great Perfection experts of the Qiankun Realm who were interested in this Qiankun Dao Fruit came to the platform.

"Who should we kill?" asked Xue Manlou, the master of Bixuelou.

The old woman coughed several times and said, slowly and deliberately, "The Northern Continent, the Human Emperor—Mo Yang!"

"Human Emperor Mo Yang?"

Upon hearing this, several experts at the Qiankun Realm frowned.

Given their knowledge, it was impossible for them not to recognize the Human Emperor Mo Yang mentioned by the old woman.

Chu Xiu then looked at Bai Yao. Although Bai Yao was puzzled that Chu Xiu, as a human, did not know about this famous human emperor, she still informed him through telepathy.

"Human Emperor Mo Yang is the vice leader of the Human Alliance and one of the four great Human Emperors of the Northern Continent. Before he was assassinated a thousand years ago, his cultivation had already reached the Qiankun Realm or higher."

"However, after that assassination, his cultivation level dropped to the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm, and even now, a thousand years later, he is still stuck."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, "To be able to assassinate someone above the Qiankun Realm, the assassin's cultivation must also be above the Qiankun Realm, right?"

Bai Yao shook her head: "The assassin's cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm..."

"And this Qiankun Dao Fruit came from the hands of this assassin who was at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm."

Chu Xiu was stunned. A human at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm was able to seriously injure a human queen above the Qiankun Realm during the assassination attempt, escape to the Demon Realm before passing away, and even leave behind a Qiankun Dao Fruit for future generations.

Simply unbelievable.

As someone who had faced off against a powerful expert above the Qiankun Realm, Chu Xiu clearly remembered the intense feeling of powerlessness he felt when facing Ling Guang.

Although he still doesn't understand what "above the Qiankun Realm" means, he knows that the gap between "above the Qiankun Realm" and the Qiankun Realm is like the distance between heaven and earth.

"Old man, even though Emperor Mo Yang's cultivation is currently stagnant at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm, he was once a master of the Qiankun Realm and above. How could we, who don't even know what the realms above the Qiankun Realm are called, dare to oppose him?"

Xue Manlou shook his head and returned to his private room.

The requirements of the owner of this Qiankun Dao Fruit were far too demanding for any Qiankun Realm expert present. Even if the nine Qiankun Realm experts present joined forces, they might not be able to escape unscathed from that Human Emperor.

If I die at the hands of the Human Emperor, what use is refining this Dao Fruit?

Several experts at the Qiankun Realm sighed and returned to their seats.

Instead, Ye Wujiang suddenly asked a question:

"Old man, do you know how much longer you have to live?"

Chu Xiu understood that what Ye Wujiang really wanted to ask was the old woman's time limit for killing the Human Emperor Mo Yang.

The old woman glanced at Ye Wujiang: "At most, he only has a hundred years left..."

"A hundred years?" Ye Wujiang shook his head as well. "A hundred years is too short for us, but..."

He suddenly looked at Chu Xiu with amusement:

"For him, that should be enough for him to grow to that point..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Xiu.

"he?"

For the first time, the old woman turned her gaze to the young man beside her, who was also human.

"Young man, what's your name? Where are you from? The Northern Continent? The Southern Continent?"

The old woman took two steps forward and extended a trembling hand.

Chu Xiu quickly stepped forward, supported the arm that looked like a withered bone, and sent a telepathic message to her.

"My name is Chu Xiu, and I was not born in Tianlu."

"Not a member of the Sky Continent race?"

The old woman was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized something and became agitated, but she didn't forget to reply in kind:

"Could it be... that you also come from the ancient realm?"

Chu Xiu was taken aback.

and also?

What do you mean?

The old woman noticed the astonishment in Chu Xiu's eyes. She patted Chu Xiu's hand and transmitted her voice:

"Do you know... Murong Si?"

Murong Si!

It's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Chu Xiu smiled and nodded, transmitting his voice: "Of course I know her. A-Si came to Tianlu with me. Are you perhaps A-Si's family, Grandma?"

A light suddenly shone in the old woman's eyes: "So, the benefactor Xiao Si was talking about is you!"

She patted Chu Xiu's hand, indicating that they would talk later, then turned around and took back the Qiankun Dao Fruit from the display stand.

"Since no one is willing to accept my request, then let this Qiankun Dao Fruit go unsold!"

After speaking, she lightly stomped her foot, and an aura of the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm spread out, pressing several Qiankun Realm experts who intended to exchange for the Qiankun Dao Fruit with other conditions back to their original positions.

Only then did everyone present realize that this seemingly frail old woman was actually a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm.

Moreover, judging from his aura, he actually overshadowed all the Qiankun Realm experts present. Only Ye Wujiang remained standing there with an elegant demeanor, unaffected.

"Chu Xiu, come with me, let's talk." The old woman smiled kindly at Chu Xiu, took his hand, and flew out of the Wutong Pavilion.

Seeing this, Xue Li, who was standing next to Ye Wujiang, nodded to Ye Wujiang and then took A Nu and chased after them.

Ye Wujiang did not intervene, but instead flashed to the exhibition platform to take control and announce the end of this trade fair.

After seeing off his old friends who had returned empty-handed, he then investigated Chu Xiu's location. He then handed over the aftermath to Bai Yao and Bai Tiao before disappearing in a flash, following the scent left behind by Chu Xiu.
