Ning Fengzhi analyzed the situation.
"Damn Spirit Hall! Honestly, Fengzhi, you really did think everything through!"
Sword Douluo let out a long sigh. Though he was a Super Douluo at level 96, he knew all too well how terrifying Spirit Hall was.
"Uncle Jian, let's go. Though we didn't get the hairpin or the pouch, we didn't come away empty-handed, either. Let's head back to the sect!"
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the two of them climbed into a luxurious carriage and set off for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Guest Number One, congratulations on winning the final treasure of this auction, the Good Fortune Pouch!"
The host handed Li Jiutian the Good Fortune Pouch and the Crystal Hairpin, speaking respectfully.
"Mm!"
"There are 5.5 million Gold Soul Coins in this Soul Tool. Keep the change!"
Li Jiutian took the pouch and hairpin, then handed the host a Soul Tool filled with Gold Soul Coins.
"Thank you so much! We welcome you to visit our auction house again!"
As the two of them walked away, the host cursed inwardly:
"Damn it, it was exactly 5.5 million Gold Soul Coins! 'Keep the change,' my ass. You want me to give you a million Gold Soul Coins back, is that it?"
"Brother, does this hairpin look pretty on me?"
After they left the auction house, Luo Zixuan pinned the hairpin in her hair and asked happily.
"It looks beautiful. This Crystal Hairpin is a perfect match for you!"
Li Jiutian gazed at her fondly, thinking, This trip really paid off. The Good Fortune Pouch is a treasure money can't measure!
"That's the kid. He was so cocky at the auction. He's bound to have plenty of money on him!"
Not far away, a man in a suit spoke to the burly man beside him.
"We've caught a big fish this time. And that little beauty with him is really something. I'll make her my happy little plaything!"
The burly man chuckled lewdly.
"Today's auction was well worth it. Let's go back!"
Li Jiutian smiled faintly, took Luo Zixuan by the hand, and headed toward the center of Spirit City.
"Brother, I want to eat lobster tonight!"
Luo Zixuan said blissfully.
"Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you!"
After speaking, Li Jiutian glanced to his left, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile.
There was no way those scum could escape his notice. He simply didn't care about them.
The center of Spirit City.
Inside a luxurious villa.
The villa covered six hundred square meters and was surrounded by hills, water, and woods. The scenery was idyllic.
Li Jiutian had privately bullied Qian Daoliu into spending a fortune to buy it for him.
"The lobster's here!"
Li Jiutian came out of the kitchen and set a platter on the dining table.
A gigantic one-meter-long lobster lay on the platter, its aroma irresistible!
To make it easier to eat, Li Jiutian had already cut open the shell, exposing the mouthwatering meat and making anyone who saw it drool.
"It smells so good!"
Luo Zixuan sniffed, then was just about to pick up a piece of lobster and put it in her mouth when a hurried knock sounded from outside.
"Strange. No one should know where our villa is!"
Luo Zixuan set the lobster down and watched the front door warily.
"Xiao Xuan, eat your lobster in peace. There's a bunch of scum outside. I'll take care of them in two minutes."
After speaking, Li Jiutian went to the door and called out cautiously, "Who is it?"
"Open up, brat, or I'll burn your villa down!"
A rough voice came from outside.
Li Jiutian gently turned the doorknob and opened the door. Nearly fifty people stood outside, every one of them a Soul Master.
The man at their head looked to be in his fifties and had reached the Soul Emperor rank.
"This is the center of Spirit City. What do you want?"
Li Jiutian feigned alarm.
"What do you think? We're robbing you! Hand over everything valuable you've got!"
"And I'm taking that little girl inside, too!"
After speaking, the man at their head grinned lewdly.
"Spirit Hall is just nearby. What gave you the guts to rob me?"
Li Jiutian stepped outside and closed the door, a sinister smile curling across his lips.
"Hmph, you're going to die anyway, so there's no harm in telling you."
"I'm actually with Spirit Hall. I've got a Platinum Bishop backing me, so I can do whatever I want!"
"To tell you the truth, we've already killed more than ten rich kids in Spirit City. We split the money fifty-fifty with the Platinum Bishop, heh!"
"You think you can stand up to us?"
The man at their head spoke viciously.
"Then do you know who I am?"
After speaking, Li Jiutian thought, This Platinum Bishop really is a blight. He's done every wicked thing under the sun!
Chapter 20: Supreme Yang Flame Group Control Skill: Blazing Sun Dragon-Locking Array!
"I don't give a damn who you are! I was going to let you off easy, but now there's no point!"
The man at their head finished speaking and swung a fist at Li Jiutian's face!
"Looking to die!"
Li Jiutian caught his wrist with ease, his grip like an iron pincers. The man strained with all his might, but couldn't break free.
"Captain Huang, are you all right?"
One of his lackeys asked anxiously, then charged at Li Jiutian!
"Hmph!"
"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"
Li Jiutian kicked Captain Huang flying. A blade of light appeared before him and sliced the charging lackey in half!
Hearing the commotion outside, Luo Zixuan took a bite of lobster and grumbled:
"This bunch of bandits are pretty stupid. They could rob anyone, but they just had to rob my brother."
"Besides, how many people who live in a mansion like this are easy targets?"
Li Jiutian wiped the blood splattered across his face and looked at the crowd before him as if they were a pack of stray dogs.
"Who the hell are you?"
Captain Huang asked nervously, looking at the murderous young man before him.
"Come at me together. Don't disappoint me!"
"You're a mangy mutt. You think you deserve to know my name?"
Li Jiutian rolled his neck, his words dripping with scorn.
"Captain Huang, hurry up and use your Martial Soul!"
A Soul Master behind him said shakily.
They had never encountered a vicious killer like Li Jiutian before, and the other Soul Masters were terrified as well.
"Brat, it's your good fortune to die at the hands of my Nightmare!"
Captain Huang roared. A cloud of black mist appeared behind him and slowly took human form, though it had no features.
"Interesting!"
Li Jiutian watched Captain Huang with keen interest.
"This is my Martial Soul, Black Nightmare. Once you enter my dream, you'll never wake up!"
Captain Huang burst into laughter, then Black Nightmare charged at Li Jiutian!
"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"
Li Jiutian gave a cold snort, and a blade of light appeared in the air before it shot toward Black Nightmare!
The blade of light didn't hit Black Nightmare. It passed straight through its body!
Just then, Black Nightmare swung a claw at Li Jiutian!
Li Jiutian raised both arms to shield his head, but was still knocked half a meter away!
"Tch! Does his Martial Soul have no physical form?"
"No! I almost fell for it. I must already be trapped in his illusion!"
At that moment, the space around Li Jiutian began to twist, and he found himself plunged into endless darkness.
Seeing Li Jiutian trapped in the illusion, the Soul Masters started singing Captain Huang's praises:
"I thought that kid was so powerful. Turns out he still lost to Captain Huang's illusion!"
"Of course. That kid's barely old enough to have hair on his chin, and he still dared to oppose us!"
"What kind of background does that brat have, living in such a huge villa in the center of Spirit City?"
Golden light flickered in Li Jiutian's eyes. He had already escaped the illusion. But he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he waited for Captain Huang to let down his guard before delivering a fatal blow!
Captain Huang was, after all, a Soul Emperor from Spirit Hall. He was no pushover like the Sleazy Trio, and taking him on would be a bit of a challenge.
Li Jiutian stood motionless, deliberately putting on a pained expression to lure Captain Huang closer.
"Go kick that kid!"
Captain Huang ordered a Soul Master beside him.
The Soul Master nodded, then kicked Li Jiutian to the ground.
As he fell, Li Jiutian slapped his own chest, forcing himself to cough up a large mouthful of blood.
"Wait!"
The Soul Master was about to kick him again when Captain Huang stopped him.
"That brat was so cocky. I'll finish him off myself!"
Seeing that Li Jiutian really had fallen into the illusion, Captain Huang grew smug. He then pulled out a Venomous Dagger and stabbed it toward him!
"You fell for it!"
Li Jiutian's figure flickered, narrowly dodging the dagger coming straight at him. Then his right hand clamped tightly around Captain Huang's throat.
"H-How is this possible? You actually escaped my illusion!"
