Countless Experts Gather
Before long, Lu Qing'an and his group arrived in a high-level star field and appeared before a Nine Heavens Continent.
When Lu Qing'an first arrived before the Nine Heavens Continent, looking at the extremely vast and prosperous continent that contained a large amount of Power of the Dao Source, he seemed to see the future of his own Eternal Night Continent, and a look of anticipation appeared on his lips.
The prosperity of the Nine Heavens Continent is indeed unmatched by any other continent.
As soon as Lu Qing'an arrived, he saw many powerful Eternal Realm coming and going on this continent.
Just as they arrived, suddenly, the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens Continent appeared before them without warning, blocking Lu Qing'an and the others.
When Li Muchen and the others saw the Heavenly Dao of this continent, they all wore faint smiles and greeted him with cupped hands.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Within the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, the Heavenly Dao of each Nine Heavens Continent is comprised of extremely powerful figures, whose strength is comparable to that of Li Muchen.
This continent in the Nine Heavens Continent is called the Hongwu Continent.
Hong Wu: "Fellow Daoists, are you here to attend the Nine Directions Pavilion's auction?"
Li Muchen smiled and said, "Exactly."
"Hmm. Welcome. But what is your relationship with this fellow Daoist?" Hong Wu asked Lu Qing'an.
When Lu Qing'an saw Hong Wu looking at him, he immediately frowned, and an idea popped into his mind.
If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that Hong Wu has realized he has made contracts with many continents and that he shares a common idea with all of them.
I utterly despise those who have made contracts with the mainland.
"They are all my good friends," Lu Qing'an said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't have a good impression of you. I don't want you to enter our continent. Please leave." Hong Wu controlled her emotions, trying not to appear too emotional, as if she were driving away a stranger who might be dangerous.
Seeing this, Li Muchen quickly said, "Fellow Hong Wu, please pretend you didn't see anything for our sake and leave. We will leave on our own after the auction."
Zhang Shundao also said, "That's right, give us some face."
Chu Xuantie and Dao Lord Xuexiao, among others, also spoke up.
Hong Wu was somewhat surprised to see Li Muchen and the others arrive together. She hadn't expected these old guys to come as a group. Now, seeing them all speaking up for Lu Qing'an, she couldn't help but scrutinize Lu Qing'an more closely.
"Fellow Daoist, we don't want to cause any trouble, but we don't mind causing a little trouble either." Lu Qing'an spoke up at this moment, and his words instantly caused the surrounding void to tremble.
Upon hearing Lu Qing'an's words, Li Muchen and the others instantly understood Lu Qing'an's thoughts. Their previous relationship with Hong Wu was just a normal nodding acquaintance, because Hong Wu was the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens Continent, and they would not offend Hong Wu without reason. But now, if Hong Wu remained obstinate, they would definitely stand firmly on Lu Qing'an's side.
Even if Lu Qing'an ordered them to attack Hong Wu, they would obey!
Hong Wu instantly sensed the threat emanating from Lu Qing'an and the others, and was momentarily stunned.
Does this mean that if I continue to block your way, you might attack me?!
This surprised her greatly.
Hong Wu glanced at Li Muchen and the others, and finally looked at Lu Qing'an.
She held back.
There was no other way; offending so many of Li Muchen's people would come at a high price!
Thinking of this, she snorted coldly and then disappeared from the spot.
And so, Lu Qing'an and the others successfully entered the Hongwu Continent.
Together they arrived at the headquarters of the Nine Directions Pavilion Chamber of Commerce on the Hongwu Continent.
The place was already packed with people and bustling with activity.
Many powerful forces from the Nine Directions and Ten Domains have already arrived here.
Coincidentally, as soon as Lu Qing'an and his group arrived, they saw the Qilin Chamber of Commerce members that Xue Tianfei and the others had met not long ago.
The Qilin Saint stood at the very front.
When Lu Qing'an and his group appeared, many powerful figures who were waiting there quickly shifted their gazes and stared intently at Lu Qing'an.
There was no way around it; with Lu Qing'an and his group's lineup, they didn't even need to do anything. The moment they arrived, they were enough to become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Goodness, why are they all together?"
"Haven't you heard? Li Muchen and the others have joined the Eternal Night Sect!"
"I've heard about it! But why are Chu Xuantie and Leng Xinghe together? Aren't they sworn enemies? It seems they've reconciled and are even standing together! Is this scene real?!"
"Is that Lu Qing'an, the sect leader of the Eternal Night Sect? I've heard he's extremely powerful, perhaps even stronger than Li Muchen and the others, but no one knows exactly how powerful he is!"
"What I've heard is that the Eternal Night Sect possesses terrifying wealth and unimaginable resources! With the Nine Directions Pavilion holding such a grand auction, the Eternal Night Sect is likely to steal the spotlight!"
"Hmph, the Eternal Night Sect is newly established and in dire need of development. How many resources can it possibly contribute to the auction? Even if Li Muchen join, they still can't compare to the top ten major powers!"
"..."
While everyone was discussing this, the Qilin Saint gritted his teeth and decisively led a group of people to fly in front of Lu Qing'an and the others.
"Fellow Daoists, we meet again!" The Qilin Saint's face was full of flattery, a stark contrast to his attitude when he first met Xue Tianfei.
Li Muchen and the others remained silent.
Xue Tianfei said, "It seems you have made your choice, fellow Daoist."
The Qilin Saint said, "Yes, yes, after discussion, our Qilin Chamber of Commerce has decided to cooperate well with your esteemed guild in the future. If there are any collaborations, we hope you will extend your support and guidance!"
Xue Tianfei said, "Alright, you're a smart person too. Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."
The Qilin Saint nodded hastily, then looked at Lu Qing'an with a fawning expression. "This fellow Daoist must be the Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect?"
Lu Qing'an nodded calmly.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed as rumored, handsome and unpredictable! I hope your sect will give our Qilin Chamber of Commerce more support in the future!" Qilin Saint said with a smile.
Lu Qing'an didn't speak, but simply nodded.
The Qilin Saint nodded, smiled, then bowed respectfully for a moment before leading his group back to their original positions.
Seeing the Qilin Saint's actions, the others began to whisper and discuss the matter even more intensely.
"Sis! Look! It's that guy!" Lu Zhengran suddenly pointed in a direction.
Lu Zixuan looked in that direction and immediately frowned.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an looked in the direction the children were looking.
Li Muchen said, "Huh? They actually came too?!"
At this moment, a group of people arrived, instantly drawing everyone's attention away from Lu Qing'an and his companions.
The newcomers were none other than the number one ranked force among all the powers in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains!
Chaos Saint Sect!
The person Lu Zhengran was referring to was a young man from the Chaos Saint Sect.
(My family was bullied during the New Year's Eve celebrations, and the conflict escalated, resulting in Xiliu breaking her hand. The other party also suffered, but at least she didn't lose face. Recovery may take a long time. During this time, I've been trying to type via voice, but I'm not very skilled, so updates may be inconsistent. Please forgive me.)
