Guiding Light? No, a Guiding Disaster Star!

The auction proceeded as scheduled. Naturally, Li Wuyang wasn't qualified to enter the main venue and could only watch from afar among the crowd outside the Myriad Treasures Tower, listening to the sounds of bidding from within, his heart itching with desire.

He

Just then, a side door of the Myriad Treasures Tower opened, and a group of people walked out. Leading them was Young Master Jinpeng, whom he had met at the Pure Tranquility Pavilion. He had a grim expression, seemingly having lost the bid and in a terrible mood. The attendants following him were carrying a heavy chest, likely containing other items he had purchased.

Young Master Jinpeng walked towards his carriage, muttering curses.

Li Wuyang's heart stirred. Perhaps he could try to connect with this "tycoon"? Maybe he could gain some benefits?

As he was about to step forward, Jinbao on his shoulder began to stir again, this time pointing at the chest carried by Young Master Jinpeng's attendants!

"Squeak! Squeak! (The chest! Boss! The stuff in the chest! It smells even better than the sachet!)"

Li Wuyang was startled! This Jinbao was too bold! It dared to covet even Young Master Jinpeng's belongings? That was the son of a major figure in the Demon Race, with guards like clouds surrounding him!

He quickly pressed Jinbao down, "Stop messing around! You can't touch that!"

However, Jinbao was unusually persistent, even agitated, as if the contents of the chest held a fatal attraction for it.

At that moment, something unexpected happened!

From the other end of the street, a commotion suddenly erupted! Several dark figures darted out from the shadows like ghosts, lunging straight for Young Master Jinpeng and his entourage! Their target was clearly the chest!

"Ambush! Protect the Young Master!" Young Master Jinpeng's guards reacted swiftly, immediately forming a defensive formation!

In an instant, demonic energy surged, spells clashed, and dazzling lights flashed! The street descended into chaos!

The onlookers cried out in alarm and scattered.

Li Wuyang was also stunned by the sudden attack and quickly pulled Huaihuai back, retreating to a safe corner.

The attackers were extremely powerful and coordinated, clearly having planned this in advance. Although Young Master Jinpeng's guards fought desperately, they were gradually losing ground.

The chest was about to be snatched away!

Young Master Jinpeng roared in fury, revealing part of his true form. His wings unfurled, emitting golden light, and he personally joined the fray!

The battle intensified, its scope widened, and even the surrounding buildings sustained damage.

Li Wuyang watched with a pounding heart, thinking thankfully he hadn't gone closer.

However, Jinbao on his shoulder, taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to the fierce battle, had actually transformed into a golden light again and silently slipped to the edge of the battlefield!

"Jinbao! Come back!" Li Wuyang cried out in alarm. This was practically courting death!

Jinbao skillfully dodged various energy currents, its target clearly the chest that had been knocked over and lay on the ground amidst the chaos!

The lid of the chest flew open, spilling out several items. Among them was an ancient bronze compass, emitting faint spatial fluctuations.

Jinbao's target was that compass! It hugged the compass, which was larger than its body, and turned to flee!

But this time, it wasn't so lucky.

A chaotic gust of demonic wind swept by, hitting Jinbao directly!

"Squeak--!" Jinbao cried out in pain, clutching the compass as it was sent flying, landing not far from Li Wuyang. Its small paws still held the compass tightly, but it was injured, with blood seeping from its mouth, unable to move.

The compass, meanwhile, rolled to Li Wuyang's feet.

Li Wuyang was both anxious and angry. He rushed over to pick up Jinbao and check its injuries. Fortunately, it was only shaken by the residual energy, not too serious.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt several cold gazes lock onto him.

It was the attackers! They saw the compass had fallen into Li Wuyang's hands!

Two of the dark figures abandoned Young Master Jinpeng and lunged directly at Li Wuyang! Their killing intent was palpable!

"Damn it!" Li Wuyang's scalp tingled. This was truly misfortune befalling him out of nowhere! He quickly stuffed Jinbao and the compass into his embrace, flipped onto Huaihuai, and shouted, "Huaihuai! Run!"

Huaihuai let out a neigh and galloped through the clouds! Little Fire also roared, spewing flames to block the pursuers.

Li Wuyang fled for his life, the attackers close behind. He felt like crying, but had no tears. This Jinbao wasn't a guiding light, but clearly a harbinger of disaster! This time, he had gotten into even bigger trouble!
