The Highway Robbers Had Arrived

This trade fair was of the highest quality ever held. The Nine Netherworld Wind Flame was already a huge gimmick, but the final Dou Sheng inheritance pushed it to a new peak.

Many powerful individuals go to great lengths, even at the cost of their entire fortunes. Resources lost can be earned back, but Dou Sheng Puppet is something that can only be obtained by chance!

Faced with the temptation of Dou Sheng power, no one can remain unmoved.

Even those who were initially calm, and many representatives of other factions who were just watching the show, generously donated money.

Fortunately, none of them were weak; otherwise, the sheer force generated by their bidding alone would have been enough to tear apart a Dou Zun Peak.

Finally...

Xiao Han obtained the Dou Sheng inheritance of the Ten Thousand Puppets Sect with four Ninth Grade Treasure Pills, two Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques, and a Gathering Yuan Array Disc that could double the cultivation speed.

This completely convinced many people. Many knew that Langya Pavilion was wealthy, but they didn't expect the Ice Saint to be so rich.

One is a force, the other is a person!

Who else can produce two mid-level or higher Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques and four Ninth Grade Pills at once?

The strange Array Disc was something that many people had never heard of before, yet no one doubted its authenticity.

Such an easily exposed lie has reached this point, yet no one will say it to add to the amusement.

However, everyone knew that this wasn't over yet! Some people started to get creative.

If it were someone from Ancient Races who obtained this Dou Sheng Puppet, it would be fine, as few people would dare to offend them due to their background.

However, the Ice Saint is a different story. Even though the opponent is Five-Star Dou Sheng with the strongest cultivation in the entire arena, it doesn't mean he can't fight back.

Don't bring up the issue of unequal distribution of spoils afterward. People who have cultivated to this level aren't stupid. The inheritance can be shared, and the puppets can be discounted.

As for the Ice Saint's retaliation, their forces are not weaklings, and they would not be afraid of the Langya Pavilion if they joined forces. Moreover, the Ice Saint has an old rival Soul Hall, watching them covetously from the side, so it's not their turn yet.

Didn't you see the murderous intent practically overflowing from Hun Miesheng's eyes? Let that one go first, and we'll see if there's an opportunity.

However, only a minority of them held this view; most people were quite clear-headed. The Ice Saint hadn't suffered any losses over the years...

Many people had no intention of helping, but also didn't want to get involved, so they were prepared to just stand by and watch the show.

Xiao Han was fully aware of the subtle, prying gazes around him, but he didn't care at all. He calmly accepted the Dou Sheng Puppet that everyone considered important.

Xiao Han's life wasn't just about cultivation; he also enjoyed researching strange and unusual things. For example, the Soul Skill and techniques of ancient Alchemist, some lost formations, and this puppet just happened to be a new source of material.

As long as the puppet isn't destroyed, his life is still safe. He believes Huang'er won't pursue the matter. The puppet's solidity gives Xiao Han great confidence.

If we take a step back and can't figure it out, wouldn't it be better to just put him in the cabinet as a bodyguard to watch over the house?

After packing his things, Xiao Han casually stood up and walked outside, seemingly oblivious to the hostile stares he was receiving.

Meanwhile, Kong Yi, the host of the trade fair, watched Xiao Han's departing figure with concern, though he still had a good impression of Xiao Han's straightforwardness.

After leaving Space Town, Xiao Han walked for nearly two hours. Looking at the ceaseless sandstorm around him, Xiao Han closed his eyes slightly.

He parted his lips slightly and said, "We've come this far, are you all still going to follow?"

There were probably four of them, and they carried a somewhat hostile aura, less than Xiao Han had expected. The others probably wanted to continue observing the situation.

"As expected of the Ice Saint, your senses are indeed sharp." A slightly sinister voice rang out as soon as the words were spoken.

Xiao Han didn't need to consciously perceive it to know who the voice belonged to.

"Hun Miesheng, did the Soul Clan only send you this time?" Xiao Han asked with an amused expression.

A few years ago, he could take on two opponents at once, and now Hun Miesheng actually dares to challenge him to a one-on-one fight? He's insane!

Hun Miesheng was quite unhappy about Xiao Han's contempt, but the situation was beyond his control; Xiao Han was stronger than him, and he had to admit it.

But...

Hun Miesheng revealed a sinister smile, "Palace Hall Master Pavilion Master Su, I never said that this was a one-on-one duel with you."

With a smile, Hun Miesheng called out, "Gentlemen, please show yourselves. We are no match for Pavilion Master Su in a one-on-one fight!"

"Hmph, Hun Miesheng, you're quite shrewd!" A haughty voice rang out, and then, Yao Wangui was extremely displeased in Xiao Han's sight, appeared in mid-air.

Two other figures appeared around Xiao Han, but both were shrouded in mysterious smoke.

It seems they are still somewhat wary of the Langya Pavilion and Xiao Han.

Xiao Han said disdainfully, "You two would be better off showing your true forms. That way, I might look at you with more respect."

In Xiao Han's view, the two men's actions were a complete cover-up. There were only a handful of well-known Dou Sheng Expert in Central Plains, and everyone in the circle was clearly aware of some basic information.

Even though they've concealed their identities, their Dou Techniques are almost all unique and impossible to hide once they start fighting. Xiao Han just wants to know if these people have gone mad from their cultivation.

"The Ice Saint?" Yao Wangui looked at Xiao Han arrogantly. "Hand over that Dou Sheng inheritance, and this Elder might spare your life!"

He and Hun Miesheng had already discussed it: they would first join forces with the two to keep the Ice Saint here. Then, the Dou Sheng Puppet would be handed over to him to take away, and the inheritance would be divided among the others.

This shows just how much Hun Miesheng wanted to kill this Ice Saint, even abandoning the Dou Sheng Puppet.

Yao Wangui's words were brimming with confidence, leaving the onlookers speechless.

Has the Yao Clan gone mad with the power of punishment? Do they really think the outside world is a place where Yao Wangui can command the wind and rain?

How could a four-star early-stage Dou Sheng dare to threaten a five-star Dou Sheng whose combat power is close to that of Six Star Five-Star Dou Sheng? What kind of genius idea is that?

Xiao Han glanced at Yao Wangui and sighed silently. The Yao Clan deserved to get worse and worse. With Elder like this, they're doomed!

It's probably only because of the Yao Clan behind him that he dares to act so recklessly.

Xiao Han then turned his gaze to Hun Miesheng, wanting to see what tricks this guy could pull.

However...

"Make your move!" Hun Miesheng said coldly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

A huge, jet-black palm print slammed towards Xiao Han, creating a deep crater dozens of feet deep in the desert along its path.

The conflict between him and Xiao Han was completely irreconcilable. If it weren't for the greater good, he would have already requested the clan to send a powerful expert to kill this man.

Now that we have such a good opportunity, even if we can't kill the opponent, it would be good to make him spit out the Dou Sheng inheritance and the puppet.

This time, we managed to recruit two four-star and two three-star late-game Dou Sheng. One of them even had a surprise gift in store. If we don't take it, we'll suffer the consequences!

"Hun Miesheng, you've improved quite a bit!" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, and without making a move, directly launched a Light Seal of the same size to meet the attack...

The two attacks, seemingly slow yet seemingly fast, collided, and the world was initially silent before the surrounding land was blasted into a crater thousands of feet in diameter.

This seemed to be a signal, as the others also made their moves, attacking Xiao Han, who was in the center.
