Chapter 231 Coming To This World (2/2)

The mirror was known as Zhaohai Mirror. It could show anything that was within a hundred mile radius. Unless the subject was the likes of holy deities, otherwise it would be hard to notice.

Jingting Tongzi stood guard outside of the curtain. ”Dear King, why are you peeping on them?” He asked hesitantly.

”Zhao Xiaoyu is the saintess of the Nine Lotus Secret Order, and she has quite a lot of secrets. Though, I did not expect her to know this person. She is good at scheming, so we must watch out. I don't want anything to go wrong during the Treasure Auction,” Xuantong Demon King spoke.

”This Mister Qingxia seemed to be a reasonable person. So long as we don't offend him, he probably would not get in our way. Moreover, you are only organizing this Treasure Auction to strengthen your reputation anyway,” Jingting Tongzi replied.

”I have a bad feeling lately, and it would seem that misfortune is about to befall me soon. The Treasure Auction was not just to strengthen my reputation, but I'm looking for a few treasures that could help me to overcome this misfortune as well. There are a lot of capable people in the Treasure Auction this time around. If anyone were to create trouble with their supernatural powers, it would be very troublesome indeed,” Xuantong whispered.

”Worse comes to worst, you can just use me as your sword again. It's about time that they see how powerful you are,” Jingting Tongzi laughed.

”Zhenren Xiangshan said that my murderous intent is too strong, and he told me to restrain it. Unless absolutely necessary, I would not engage in a battle,” Xuantong Demon King replied.

Jingting Tongzi stopped talking the moment he saw the Mister Qingxia in the mirror looked up and smiled. With a wave of his hand, a light flew out and the surface of Zhaohai Mirror was covered in frost. It was white, and nothing could be seen anymore. It fell from the sky.

Jingting Tongzi quickly walked towards the mirror and caught it. Even though he used to be the Jiejian Stone and should be cold and rock hard, he could not help but shiver after catching the Zhaohai Mirror.

”He even cultivated the Ice Light. Where did he find the extreme Yin Qi of Devilry?” Xuantong Demo King spoke.

Jingting Tongzi's hands were covered in frost and they were glued to the Zhaohai Mirror. They were inseparable. He tried to use his sword Qi to shatter the layer of ice. ”This is Ice Light? So he is from Qing Xuan?” He yelped in surprise after hearing what Xuantong Demon King had said.

”Forget about this,” Xuantong Demon King instructed.

Jingting Tongzi maintained his silence and engaged the sword Qi within him to dispel the cold aura. Moreover, he was trying to draw a connection between Shen Lian's appearance and his true identity. If he did not conceal it on purpose, judging from his background, he could only be either Chen Jianmei or the chief of Qing Xuan.

However, Chen Jianmei came and gone with his sword Qi and it was easy to recognize him. Hence, Mister Qingxia could only be the Zhenren Shen of Qing Xuan.

Even though Xuantong Demon King was renowned in Eastern Sea, but that was nothing as compared to the chief of Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan was a great sect that had ten thousand years of history. Despite that it was going downhill previously, it was still a reputable Celestial sect. Moreover, recently Qing Xuan seemed to be doing well, and Zhenren Shen's effort was particularly notable.

Jingting Tongzi did not expect someone as important as him would hide his identity and graced the celestial market with his presence.

Despite that Wu Qingzi had come from Taishang Daoist Sect, he was merely a true disciple. This was incomparable to Shen Zhenren's status.

Despite that cultivators prioritized cultivation, but it was not the sole decisive factor when it came to one's status. What was scarier was the rumor that Zhenren Shen had been cultivating for less than fifty years, and to think that he was so close to being the likes of holy deities.

Little did Jingting Tongzi know that Shen Lian had been cultivating for less than thirty years, and his actual age was merely around forty years old! Even amongst the mortals, he would be considered as being in his prime.

The cultivators in Qing Xuan were all aware of this. Their admiration for Shen Lian these few years were genuine. Regardless, Shen Lian would only face his death in at least seven or eight hundred years. Moreover, no one in Qing Xuan thought that Shen Lian could not break through the state of whim.

To them, it was only a matter of time before Shen Lian attained immortality.

Shen Lian put an end to the peeping of Zhaohai Mirror, and that had piqued Zhao Xiaoyu's curiosity. ”Who was peeping at us?” She queried.

Shen Lian gave it some thoughts and replied, ”It should be Xuantong Demon King, but there was no reason for her to do so.”

Shen Lian knew that Xuantong Demon King was aware of his true identity, but the Demon King would not be so impolite.

”Then it would be me then. After all, I'm a witch from a cult, and even the Demon King could not rest easy with me around,” Zhao Xiaoyu replied.

”This shows how powerful you are too, no?” Shen Lian walked forward slowly.

Zhao Xiaoyu trod with small steps, and she followed behind Shen Lian unhurriedly. ”Actually, there is something about her that made me jealous. She received pointers from Lu Jiuyuan and did not have to make unnecessary mistakes,” Zhao Xiaoyu spoke.

”To think that you would say something like that, you really are different as compared to before.”

Both of them chattered away as they disappeared into the sea of clouds.

Time flew, and the real Treasure Auction was around the corner.
