Chapter 247: I Know What to Do
"Brother Jin, please… do as you wish."
These seven words were not spoken loudly.
But they carried the stance of the Yin-Yang Holy Land, making everyone present tighten up inside.
The Yin-Yang Holy Land had chosen to stand by and watch.
The only one left who could possibly intervene in this conflict was the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. But the issue was, while the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's overall power was indeed terrifying, that didn't mean the branch in Yuyang City was the same.
This was merely a sub-pavilion.
Its Pavilion Master was only at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm. Relying on him alone, he would never dare provoke the Golden Crow Clan.
"You think just because you're within human territory, your life can be spared? Ridiculous!"
The Golden Crow Clan's prince strode forward, golden divine light surging all over him. His overwhelming aura drowned the entire auction hall, causing everyone to instantly change expression.
What was supposed to be an auction had suddenly turned into such a chaotic storm.
"I remember now—this girl seems to possess the Ancient Immortal Sacred Physique. She only recently rose to fame, but I didn't expect to see her here today."
"The Ancient Immortal Sacred Physique? Wasn't that proven by countless sages to be crippled? Supposedly unable to cultivate, no different from an ant—a useless body. How could this girl have reached the Divine Power Realm?"
"No one knows for sure. But one thing is certain—this girl's strength is extraordinary. She once, with only Divine Power Realm cultivation, killed several Golden Crow princes!"
"Hiss—!"
Many people sucked in a cold breath.
The Golden Crow princes were all famed far and wide. Even the youngest of them, the Tenth Prince, possessed strength at the Life and Death Realm.
As for the eldest prince, he was already close to becoming a Saint.
No one could say for sure which prince she killed.
But one thing was undeniable—her victim had certainly been a Life and Death Realm powerhouse.
That meant, this girl had slain several Life and Death Realm experts while still only in the Divine Power Realm. And not just ordinary cultivators, but young prodigies of the Golden Crow Clan.
"No wonder this Golden Crow prince lost all composure the moment he laid eyes on her, intent on killing her here and now."
"With such blood-deep enmity, I'm afraid no one could save her life, no matter who comes."
Someone shook their head.
Even as they spoke, they quickly retreated from the auction hall, intending to leave the place altogether.
At the same time, a formation quickly rose within the auction hall—a defensive formation capable of withstanding the might of Divine Palace Realm experts.
After all, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had seen such scenes countless times.
Everyone here was a cultivator. Disputes escalating into sudden combat was nothing unusual. Even the Pavilion's reputation couldn't suppress every conflict.
To prevent chaos from spreading, the Pavilion had long prepared such formations to keep battles within controlled bounds.
"Die!"
The Golden Crow prince let out a cold shout.
Golden blood energy surged across the skies, then a colossal golden hand stretched forth, crashing down like a world-destroying millstone.
Buzz!
The surrounding formation rang with a resonant hum.
The aura of a Life and Death Realm peak expert swept out, suppressing all directions, suffocating countless onlookers who paled in shock.
"Peak Life and Death Realm cultivation—is this the Fifth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan? Or the Fourth?"
The girl frowned.
She swept her gaze around. Those youths who had spoken so righteously moments ago were now trembling like leaves in a storm, their feet carrying them backward against their will.
Once they had withdrawn from the battlefield, every single one wore an expression of indifference, as though it no longer concerned them.
If the Yin-Yang Holy Land had stood in front to shield her, they wouldn't have minded speaking up to add a little support.
But now that both the Yin-Yang Holy Land and Myriad Treasures Pavilion had chosen not to intervene, if they continued to speak up or step forward to help the girl, then it would be nothing short of courting death.
After all, they were merely at the Divine Power Realm, whereas the Golden Crow Clan's prince stood at the very peak of the Life and Death Realm. Behind him, several Golden Crow experts lingered, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Any one of them was at the Divine Palace Realm.
If they all attacked together, everyone present would die!
"Peak of the Life and Death Realm? So what?"
The girl raised her slender hand, and from her palm flew a small, exquisite pagoda, no more than an inch tall. Its body was shrouded in immortal aura, as if forged from some primordial celestial metal. As it expanded in the wind, it transformed into a colossal tower hundreds of feet high, descending to suppress her foe.
"Dao Source Immortal Metal—it really is in your hands. Then my brothers' deaths were not in vain!"
Divine light erupted in the Golden Crow prince's eyes. His massive golden hand grew even heavier, reaching out to seize the pagoda.
"Stop!"
A calm yet commanding voice rang out.
An invisible might descended, like an ancient divine mountain crashing from the heavens. With a thunderous impact, it erased both combatants' techniques, dissolving them into nothing.
Then, an old man with white hair and beard stepped out of the void, walking down as though treading solid ground. Upon appearing, he first cast a solemn glance at the pagoda hovering above the girl's head, then shifted his gaze toward the Golden Crow prince.
"A distinguished guest has spoken. The Seven-Colored Divine Metal just auctioned is his. As for the ten million peak-grade spirit stones, Your Highness the Prince may keep them."
"Hm?"
The Golden Crow prince's eyes narrowed. His voice sank as he asked, "Distinguished guest? What guest?"
His attack had two reasons—first, because he had seen Lu Qingxian, and second, because he had been schemed against, forced to spend ten million peak-grade spirit stones on a piece of Seven-Colored Divine Metal useless to him.
Now that someone was willing to take it off his hands, this was no small relief.
At least, he wouldn't have wasted ten million spirit stones in vain.
"Profound Sun Holy Son."
The old man did not conceal it. He slowly spoke the four characters.
"Li Xun?"
The Golden Crow Clan prince froze slightly, then a faint smile appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Please, Daoist friend, convey my greetings to Brother Li Xun."
In his eyes, Li Xun's actions today were nothing less than an expression of goodwill.
After all, Li Xun was only at the Divine Palace Realm. He had little real need for Holy level materials, yet he was willing to spend such an enormous price to stop his losses.
If that wasn't goodwill, what was?
"Once I deal with this girl, I'll immediately pay a visit to Brother Li Xun."
The Golden Crow Fourth Prince declared.
"That won't be necessary."
The old man waved his hand casually and said, "The Profound Sun Holy Son made himself clear. He does not wish to see any fighting here. Anyone who continues will be standing against him!"
"You—"
The prince's face darkened instantly. The smile that had just formed vanished without a trace.
He glanced at Lu Qingxian not far away, and deep within his eyes flickered a trace of fierce struggle.
His main purpose in venturing into the mortal world was to kill Lu Qingxian, to avenge his fallen brothers. And now, his mortal enemy stood before him.
Yet Li Xun's words demanded he give up his vengeance.
This was more agonizing than being killed outright.
But then he remembered Li Xun's strength, who's already a Divine Palace Realm cultivator, after over a year of cultivation, his foundation would certainly be solid.
And coupled with his feats in the small world of the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect—even Saints had to think twice before facing him.
After a long moment of brooding, the Golden Crow Clan Prince clenched his teeth and said, "Please tell Brother Li Xun that I know what I must do."
