Heaven Slaying Blade

Miao Yi Niang looked at Chu Mo with disbelief, "My word... Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused? A Fourth-Order Elemental Beast! Do you think it's just an ordinary lion or tiger?"

"So what if it's a Fourth-Order Elemental Beast?" Chu Mo curled his lips, displaying a disdainful face. In his mind, he insisted: A Fourth-Order Elemental Beast is still something that your young master, me, can kill...

"Oh heavens..." Miao Yi Niang placed a hand on her forehead, speechlessly looking at Chu Mo, "Young master, I really don't know how to explain it to you. A Fourth-Order Elemental Beast, theoretically speaking, could be considered equivalent to a human at the fourth level of the Yellow Rank... or in other words, a warrior in the Iron Bone Realm. However, its real power surpasses that of warriors at the Iron Bone Realm! Without exaggeration, a Fourth-Order Elemental Beast could easily kill three or four warriors of the same rank in the Iron Bone Realm!"

Miao Yi Niang sighed, "An ordinary Fourth-Order Elemental Beast is already this formidable, but the Red Eyed Cold Ice Python... is far superior to regular Fourth-Order Elemental Beasts! Its power is unspeakably terrifying, if it enters a human town, it could even cause a massacre!"

Chu Yan also whispered from the side, "I heard that the military paid a hefty price just to hunt down that Red Eyed Cold Ice Python years ago."

Miao Yi Niang glanced at Chu Mo and said indifferently, "Yes, you should ask your young master about that, he's the most informed."

Chu Mo smiled and said to Chu Yan, who was full of curiosity, "I'll tell you about it later."

Miao Yi Niang knew that Chu Mo was currently in disguise and should avoid revealing too much. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to the three of them in the corner; everyone was solely focused on the Red Eyed Cold Ice Python on the auction stage.

Chu Mo murmured, "Even if it's difficult to hunt, what's the issue?"

Miao Yi Niang sighed speechlessly, "First of all, this thing is extremely rare. Even large sects would find it difficult to capture a Red Eyed Cold Ice Python. And even if they do manage to catch one, they would not allow a single scale to leave their possession."

"Moreover, any material from the body of a Red Eyed Cold Ice Python is incredibly valuable. Do you think Fatty Brother is bluffing? You're wrong! He didn't exaggerate at all when describing the effects of the Python's materials." Miao Yi Niang sighed, "I really don't know who could be so incredibly skilled to hunt such a powerful Elemental Beast, and even more unbelievably... to bring it for auction... Such a wasteful person!"

Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had told Miao Yi Niang before that he hunted some Elemental Beasts and gave them to One-Armed Uncle to sell. Chu Mo is not the type who likes to show off, so he didn't go into detail.

Miao Yi Niang would never guess that the wasteful person she was talking about was sitting right next to her.

At this moment, Fatty Brother on stage had already started the auction for the Red Eyed Cold Ice Python, excitedly announcing, "Now, we're starting the auction for a tendon of the Red Eyed Cold Ice Python! That's right, a whole tendon! Its benefits are already well known, I believe. If you use it as a bowstring... it would be a divine bow, if you soaked it in wine, then it would be a great tonic... The starting bid is... five thousand gold taels!"

"This guy's trying to slaughter everyone..." Chu Mo muttered.

At the same time as he was talking, dozens of people in the auction hall simultaneously raised their bidding cards.

"Six thousand gold taels!"

"Seven thousand taels!"

"I am Han Xiaoshan. I bid ten thousand gold taels! This tendon of the Red Eyed Cold Ice Python, I, Han Xiaoshan, have laid claim to it! Remember, my name is Han Xiaoshan! As long as you know what's good for you, and don't vie against me, in the future, I will surely repay this favor!"

"Pah, who's Han Xiaoshan? Never heard of him, I bid ten thousand two hundred gold taels!"

"I bid thirteen thousand gold taels!"

"Thirteen thousand five hundred!"

Chu Mo watched this scene with wide eyes and an agape mouth, twitching at the corner of his lips, disbelief filling his eyes, "Have these people... gone insane?"

Getting no response from his side, Chu Mo turned his head to look, and even through their veils, he could feel the two women's excitement.

Feeling Chu Mo's gaze, Miao Yi Niang said regretfully, "It's too expensive... otherwise, I really would want to buy it."

"What do you want it for?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes, thinking: To cure illness and strengthen the body? You're a cultivation practitioner, you don't need that! To improve your beauty? You're already so beautiful and attractive, seemingly... you don't need it. To extend your lifespan? As long as Miao Yi Niang continues her cultivation, her life expectancy will surely be far longer than ordinary people's, where would you have need for this to extend your life?

Surprisingly, without hesitation, Miao Yi Niang replied directly, "It's for you!"

"For... for me?" Chu Mo was somewhat taken aback for the moment, however, he felt moved. He transmitted his voice to Miao Yi Niang with a smile and said, "No need, this item was meant to be auctioned away. As for the rest, we can discuss later. There's nothing much left to see here, let's go."

Miao Yi Niang stared blankly at Chu Mo, as if trying to ascertain that he wasn't joking around.

Not long after, Miao Yi Niang promptly stood up with an astonished expression, shaking her head. She was seemingly scolding Chu Mo as a spendthrift in her mind.

Seeing them both stand up, Chu Yan stood up as well, her eyes fascinated by the items on the stage.

At this point, the tendon of the Cold Ice Snake had been bid to twenty-two thousand gold coins!

Madness!

Everyone's gone mad!

Chu Mo shook his head in disbelief. He collected the hefty bronze cauldron and quietly left the auction blocks with the two women.

As they disappeared, two more figures rose from their seats in the auction and quickly slipped away, heads lowered, attempting to remain low-profile.

Outside, Chu Mo swiftly led Miao Yi Niang and Chu Yan down an alleyway, completely ignoring the carriage that was waiting for them.

Having grown up in Yanhuang City, Chu Mo was extremely familiar with the city layout.

He led the two women through quick shortcuts and alleyways, but his bronze cauldron was always in hand. Not because he feared the women would uncover his spatial treasure, but because he didn't want those tracking them to find out!

Chu Mo had a gut feeling - their abrupt departure would catch the individuals who were focusing on Miao Yi Niang off guard. But they... or he... would definitely catch up.

Chu Mo didn't want to be at a disadvantage. Being led around by the enemy was intolerable. He wanted to take the initiative. If there was to be a fight, it would be on his terms!

At this moment, the two women understood that something must have happened. Otherwise, Chu Mo wouldn't have responded this way. Hence, without questioning further, they silently followed Chu Mo, moving at a rapid pace.

Eventually, they arrived at an abandoned area in Yanhuang City. This area was originally a slum area, but the officials wanted to build a massive garden here. Therefore, the poor inhabitants were all relocated to a region with much better housing facilities. With such alluring establishments waiting, it was relatively easy for the poor individuals to leave their old lives behind.

Forsaken for over six months, this region was hardly populated, aside from the occasional homeless people.

Hardly had Chu Mo and the others arrived when two figures swiftly approached them.

They instantly blocked the trio's path.

Both of them were clad in black cloaks, their faces completely covered with the hood extending from their robes.

One of them sternly addressed Miao Yi Niang, "Remnants of the Piaomiao Palace, hand over the secret inheritance methods and you shall be spared!"
