Chapter 417: Lure
Whoosh!
Water waves thundered along the four walls.
Golden light radiated in every direction—like surging torrents of a vast river—directly assaulting the black‐robed man and encircling him on all sides.
His attack had not even extended toward the silver‐gowned man before the mighty array forcefully pushed it back.
The black‐robed man’s figure wavered for a moment as the brilliant golden beams held him in place.
Yet, he showed no trace of fear. He attempted to muster his spiritual power and break through the array.
Meanwhile, the hall’s occupants, sensing imminent trouble, scattered in a chaotic frenzy, while the VIPs in the private rooms on the second and third levels remained as unmoving as mountains. Still, no one dared step forward to aid Mr. Kan in quelling the crisis.
Suppressing his anger, Mr. Kan suddenly bellowed, "Senior, I respect your formidable cultivation, but the rules of this auction are inviolable! If you insist on this course, I will risk my life to shatter this array and deliver an unforgettable lesson—one whose cost, should you kill me, would be more than you could ever bear!"
At his words, the black‐robed man paused and, glancing at the surging golden light, slowly withdrew the spiritual power he had been gathering.
Mr. Kan’s anxious heart finally eased. His tone softened as he bowed slightly toward the black‐robed man and said, "I understand your desire to safeguard your treasure, Senior, but know this: the world is replete with spiritual medicines—there is far more than just the Bloody Primordial Essence. Nowadays, as the Ancient Immortal Battlefield grows ever more perilous and cultivators beyond the passes begin to withdraw from the city, they may return with spiritual medicines even more precious than the Bloody Primordial Essence. Please, remain calm and search patiently; you are sure to obtain what you seek."
The black‐robed man snorted coldly and turned to leave.
