"Xiong Yan!"
Xu Hei stared at Xiong Yan, suppressing the anger in his heart, and appeared very calm.
"Hehe! It's quite unexpected that the two of you from the Divine Continent Star are here, but all guests are welco at our Blood Refining Sect. Please, this way!"
Xiong Yan bead with a smile as he personally led the way, walking ahead while the others followed in silence.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, was my flesh and blood avatar satisfactory last ti?" Xiong Yan asked with a half-smile.
"Not worth ntioning," Xu Hei responded bluntly.
This exchange surprised everyone. Had these two fought before? And judging by Xu Hei's tone, did he win easily?
"Hehe, just a re avatar, naturally not worthy of Fellow Daoist Xu's attention. But next ti, I assure you, you won't be disappointed."
Xiong Yan didn't mind Xu Hei's sarcasm at all, his smile remained bright. "By the way, I'll introduce you to an old acquaintance later."
Before long, the group entered the palace. After so inspection, they found only a basic soundproof formation, with no danger present.
Inside the palace, there were already quite a few figures. The Blood Refining Sect had five people, all at the Divine Transformation Stage.
Among them, the most daunting was the Fla Demon Ancestor, who was at the late Divine Transformation Stage, sitting motionless with his eyes closed.
The Yan Dao Sect also had three Divine Transformation cultivators, who nodded in acknowledgnt as they looked over.
Suddenly, Xu Hei's gaze focused on a blood-red figure among the Blood Refining Sect crowd.
This blood-red figure stood motionless at the back of the group.
He wasn't a normal cultivator, but a... blood corpse!
The blood corpse looked like a skinned human, with exposed flesh, terrifying in appearance, exuding a monstrous aura, and the ground around it was blood-red.
Xu Hei felt a sense of familiarity with this blood corpse, as if he had seen it sowhere before.
Night Owl transmitted, "If I'm not mistaken, this is that Bai-nad cultivator."
"Bai Qiushui..." Xu Hei's heart sank.
Bai Qiushui, a hundred years ago on the outer battlefield, was forced to join the Blood Refining Sect, and now he had fallen to this state.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai, your old friends from the Divine Continent Star are here. Aren't you going to greet them?" Xiong Yan teased the blood corpse.
Upon hearing this, the blood corpse actually lifted its head, glanced at Xu Hei, and cracked an exaggerated smile.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, Xu Hei's aura erupted, creating a fierce storm, the ground cracking inch by inch, the entire hall creaking, drawing everyone's attention.
He looked at Xiong Yan, his eyes extrely cold, and said, "Do you have a death wish?"
"Hmph!"
The Fla Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure swept over, not only stabilizing the palace but also suppressing Xu Hei's aura completely.
In just a face-off, Xu Hei was forced to retreat. Night Owl's gaze turned cold, shadows spreading to form a circular black ring, expelling all spiritual power pressure outside, not yielding an inch.
"Stop, what are you doing? Why do you start fighting as soon as I arrive?"
At this mont, an annoyed voice ca from outside the palace, and a giant sword shot in from the entrance, landing in the center.
Three people stood on the giant sword, the tardy cultivators of the Tianhen Sword Sect.
The leading white-bearded elder was also at the late Divine Transformation Stage.
As soon as he appeared, the Fla Demon Ancestor's pressure receded.
Xiong Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just that my Junior Brother Bai went mad during cultivation, lost his senses, and sohow provoked soone, causing so misunderstanding."
The white-bearded elder glanced at Bai Qiushui, vaguely understanding, and said, "As the host, don't play these tricks, it only causes displeasure."
"Senior Li's lesson is well taken!" Xiong Yan nodded quickly.
Xu Hei also withdrew his aura. He knew it was impossible to actually fight here, but he couldn't remain indifferent to provocation.
If he kept tolerating, the other side would only beco more reckless. He had to make Xiong Yan understand that he was not soone to be trifled with, he had a temper too.
If worst ca to worst, he'd flip the table, and no one would have a good ti.
"Is there any hope for Bai Qiushui?" Xu Hei transmitted.
Night Owl shook his head and said, "I don't know much about blood corpses, but judging by this one's ntal state, there might be a trace of consciousness left."
A flash of killing intent passed through Xu Hei's eyes. Bai Qiushui was his forr companion, and he must avenge this corpse refining hatred with blood.
At this mont, Xiong Yan also put away the blood corpse, no longer provoking Xu Hei and the others.
He was truly afraid that Xu Hei might do sothing irrational in anger, which would affect the subsequent grand plan.
"This Xu Hei is so impulsive, I wonder if he's putting on a show or genuinely angry," Xiong Yan speculated secretly.
The three from the Tianhen Sword Sect dismounted the flying sword.
Among them, a silver-haired girl glanced at Xu Hei and transmitted, "Brother Xu, long ti no see."
"Ah Yin?"
Xu Hei was taken aback, eting Ah Yin's gaze.
A hundred years had passed, yet she remained the sa as before, petite and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over, without any signs of aging.
However, she now carried a sword at her waist, having beco a sword cultivator, and spoke fluently.
The white-bearded elder said calmly, "Since you've t an old friend, why hide? We are not a demonic sect."
"Thank you, Master."
Ah Yin was delighted and quickly walked over to Xu Hei, exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two began to reminisce.
The Tianhen Sword Sect's attitude was noted by everyone, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.
From the conversation with Ah Yin, it was learned that upon entering the sect, she was favored by the strongest Elder Li, who took her as a personal disciple.
This Elder Li was none other than the renowned first sword cultivator of the Seven Stars, Li Changge.
He was the white-bearded elder.
This surprised Xu Hei, it seed Ah Yin had her own great fortune.
With the arrival of the Tianhen Sword Sect, the trade fair was about to begin.
But just then, three more figures ca whistling in, landing at the entrance of the hall.
They were Gong Jiang and Hai Teng from Sea Star, and the remnant from Heavenly Sand Star, Gongsun Bo.
Everyone's eyes focused on them, revealing a strange gleam.
"What, not welcoming us?"
Gong Jiang swaggered into the hall, a slight sneer on his face.
"Hehe, I'm more than happy to have you all here, how could I not welco you?" Xiong Yan laughed.
These three were not polite, finding a spot near the center and sitting down.
Sea Star was understandable, but Heavenly Sand Star had a blood feud with the Blood Refining Sect, yet soone still ca to the trade fair, which was truly surprising.
With this, except for the most mysterious Dark Star, six of the Seven Stars had representatives present, making it a rare grand event.
Xiong Yan stood up and said, "Since our Blood Refining Sect is the host, I'll start the trading."
With a wave of his hand, he brought out nurous treasures, suspended in mid-air, each protected by a light shield, clearly displayed for all to see.
A dazzling array, over a hundred items!
Most were local specialties of Fla Star, and so were spoils from Heavenly Sand Star.
Everything present was beneficial to those at the Divine Transformation Stage, at least fifth grade, or so extrely rare special materials. The fact that he could casually produce over a hundred items showed the deep foundation of the Blood Refining Sect.
"If any of you fancy these treasures, feel free to trade with your own treasures, or Supre Spirit Stones."
"Additionally, our Blood Refining Sect is also seeking to purchase Blood Essence Stones, Blood Soul Pills, Divine Transformation Stage exotic beast corpses, exotic beast blood, and fire-type spiritual plants like the Heavenly Fla Red Lotus at high prices."
After speaking, Xiong Yan deliberately glanced at Xu Hei, knowing that soone present could perfectly et the demand for exotic beast corpses and blood.
