The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1493

Chapter 1493: Chapter 1489: Greed Chapter 1493: Chapter 1489: Greed Wanshui Zhenren saw the situation at the scene and couldn't help but lament in his heart, regretting his greediness for taking back this hot potato, becoming the target of public criticism.

However, since things had come to this point, there was nothing to regret; he sat there, feigning composure.

The Trading Conference continued, but it was clear everyone's thoughts were on the Bi Hai Yao fish eggs; the trades were lackluster.

When it was Shen Luo's turn, he proposed to use the materials on the table in exchange for clues about the Nine Heavens Gold Essence, Blood Soul Elemental Jade, Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood, and Spirit Fire of Heavenly Fire level, but unfortunately, no one knew.

As he stated his request, he discreetly watched Wanshui Zhenren. Upon hearing Nine Heavens Gold Essence, that man's eyes imperceptibly flickered, but his mouth remained shut, and he said nothing.

Seeing this made Shen Luo even more certain that Zhou Ming's information was correct; Wanshui Zhenren indeed had a clue about the Nine Heavens Gold Essence.

The Trading Conference soon came to an end. As soon as Gu Cangfeng announced the conclusion, several people in the stone chamber quickly left, while Wanshui Zhenren remained calm, only leisurely leaving after most had departed.

Shen Luo left the Underground Trading Hall of Lianxiang Assembly and went to a nearby restaurant, ordering a few dishes and a pot of wine to drink by himself.

Night fell quickly, and he did not return to Fallen Flower Villa. Instead, he concealed his tracks with his Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing and silently left the city.

Flying south for nearly ten thousand li, Shen Luo stopped near an abandoned ruin in the Boundless Sand Sea and looked toward the depths of the ruin.

There, several figures stood, none other than Wanshui Zhenren, the Bearded Giant from Black Flame Gate, Tian Sanqi from Baijian Gate, and Ghost Teng Master.

Wanshui Zhenren stood in the center, with the Bearded Giant, Tian Sanqi, and Ghost Teng Master surrounding him.

Next to Shen Luo, the Void fluctuated, and a silver mouse popped out and darted into his embrace–it was that Divine Rat.

After the Trading Conference ended, he quietly released the Divine Rat, which followed Wanshui Zhenren all the way here.

Shen Luo wasn't the only one who followed. In the ruins not far away lurked two groups of monks; one group had three people, and the other only one.

However, these two groups weren't as adept at concealing their presence as the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, and they gave away some traces of their whereabouts.

“Brother Wan Shui, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Bi Hai Yao fish eggs. My terms remain the same: I'll give you 50,000 Immortal Jade plus that Dragon Tendon,” the Bearded Giant said.

“Brother Wan Shui, seeing as the three of you value the Bi Hai Yao fish eggs so highly, I'm curious what's so special about it that you're willing to spend such Heavy Gold to purchase it?” Wanshui Zhenren, surrounded in the middle, showed no fear, smiling and asking with a nonchalant expression.

“It seems you want to resist to the very end. Daoist friend Tian, Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, as we discussed earlier, let's take down this brat first, then decide the ownership of the Bi Hai Yao fish eggs,” the Bearded Giant said viciously.

“Alright.” Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master both nodded, their bodies glowing, ready to act.

“Hold on, since you three want this Bi Hai Yao fish egg, I'll give it to you; there's no need for violence,” Wanshui Zhenren suddenly raised his hand and said. Then, he took out the Bi Hai Yao fish egg and tossed it to the Bearded Giant.

The Bearded Giant was taken aback, sending out a red light to wrap around the Bi Hai Yao fish egg.

He found it hard to believe that Wanshui Zhenren would hand over the fish eggs so readily, but what was wrapped in the red light was indeed the Bi Hai Yao fish egg.

With the Bi Hai Yao fish eggs in the hands of the Bearded Giant, the attention of Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master was immediately diverted from Wanshui Zhenren.

“The caviar has already been given to the three of you, I will take my leave,” Wanshui Zhenren said to them before transforming into a blue light and shooting off into the distance.

Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master hesitated for a moment. Wanshui Zhenren's speed was ordinarily fast, and he had already flown out of the encirclement, escaping a hundred feet away.

At this moment, the caviar in the hands of the Bearded Giant suddenly flashed blue, changing its form dramatically into a fist-sized round pearl, with dazzling water-thunder radiance flickering inside.

“Sunflower Water Extinguish Immortal Bead!” The Bearded Giant's face drastically changed, and he hurriedly tossed away the blue round pearl.

Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master also hastily retreated, but it was already too late.

With a thunderous boom, a huge blue light sphere appeared out of nowhere, completely engulfing the figures of the three men. Numerous thick blue bolts of lightning darted within dozens of feet, buzzing with a frighteningly formidable presence.

Wanshui Zhenren laughed heartily, exceedingly proud, as he soared into the distance. His boots emitted purple thunder and white clouds, interweaving spectacularly together.

“Eh, that's the Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots, rumored to be refined by the Ancient Thunder God. Wearing them allows one to chase light and pursue lightning, traversing tens of thousands of miles in an instant. I did not expect them to still exist in this world,” exclaimed Fire Spirit Child in surprise.

Before Fire Spirit Child's words could finish, Wanshui Zhenren had already turned into a purple thunder shadow, swiftly becoming a pinpoint of purple light, moving so fast it was unbelievable, and looking as though he would soon vanish without a trace.

However, at this very moment, a huge white net suddenly appeared ahead, instantly expanding a hundredfold, nearly obscuring half of the sky, and swooping down right on top of Wanshui Zhenren.

Wanshui Zhenren was both shocked and furious. With a wave of his hands, two golden sword lights shot out, instantly becoming two Golden Dragons with heads like swords, and tails intertwined like ropes, roaring and twisting in mid air.

With a “sizzle,” the white net was cut in half, but Wanshui Zhenren's escape was also intercepted.

The sound of whooshing came from behind, as three escape lights shot out from the blue light sphere, revealing Tian Sanqi, the Bearded Giant, and Ghost Teng Master.

Their clothes were ragged and half of their bodies were bathed in blood, looking extremely bedraggled, but they were not fundamentally injured.

“Reckless fools! Die!” The beard on one side of the Bearded Giant's face was burned off, and with a furious roar, he spat out an attack.

A red light streaked across, revealing a red wide back battle saber, within its light a red flying python with wings on its back – it was another magical treasure with a tool spirit, appearing above Wanshui Zhenren's head and slicing down with a whoosh.

Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master also made their moves at the same time – the former released a flying sword with a dragon-like sinuous shape and a body covered in golden scales, emitting a dragon-like chant.

“Blood Thorn Vine, go!”

The latter threw out his withered vine walking stick, which suddenly flashed with blood light, transforming into a thick blood-red Ghost Vine covered with blood-red barbs, pouncing toward Wanshui Zhenren like a huge python.

Wanshui Zhenren was shocked and pale, hastily urging the two golden sword lights beside him to revolve rapidly around his body, colliding hard with the three magical treasures.

Boom, boom, boom! Three thunderous sounds erupted!

The red battle saber, the Traveling Dragon Sword, and the Blood Thorn Vine were all repelled, but the two golden sword lights were also nearly dispersed, revealing their true forms – two crossed dragon-shaped flying swords that resembled a pair of golden scissors.

“Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots! Golden Dragon Scissors! It seems that Brother Wan Shui has had quite a rich harvest from the Donghua Freelance Immortal's cave mansion,” the Bearded Giant laughed and then manipulated the red battle saber again to chop towards Wanshui Zhenren.

Tian Sanqi and Ghost Teng Master likewise did the same.

The three of them, working together against one, exhibited an encircling strategy, clearly confident in their absolute ability to capture the opponent.
