Chapter 259: Chapter 259
Although Elder Kong's auction house had seen countless treasures, never before had they encountered someone who could produce so many medicine pills in one breath, and even the least valuable of these were First Grade medicine pills.
This move by Ding Fan made Elder Kong even more certain that Ding Fan's background could not be simple, and he must definitely be a representative of the Great Gate Sect in the Secular World.
At that moment, Elder Kong felt even more certain that his earlier decision was very wise. With this treasure secured, if he maintained a good relationship with Ding Fan, he would then have a source for Upper Grade medicine pills in the future.
In Huaxia Country, there were quite a few auction houses one, but to be able to provide a massive supply of graded Pill Pills on a large scale, looking across the world, perhaps only their house could achieve that.
"Young Master Ding, I saw everything that happened at the venue just now from the shadows. You've disrupted Ghost Qianzi's plan, and given his temper, this matter will definitely not end here. I suggest you stay here for a while," Elder Kong said from the side. "Although Ghost Qianzi is rampant, he still wouldn't dare to disrespect my auction house."
The area around this auction house was protected by a defensive array and prohibitions. No to mention Ghost Qianzi, even if an Earth Level martial artist of third grade or higher came here, Elder Kong was confident that the person would not be able to leave once they arrived.
Having heard Elder Kong's words, Ding Fan just lightly smiled. He naturally knew Elder Kong's words were meant to protect him, yet if Ding Fan were the type to hide at the first sign of danger, he wouldn't be true to himself.
"A mere Ghost Qianzi, I am not concerned about him. I appreciate Elder Kong's kindness," Ding Fan said to Elder Kong.
Elder Kong nodded. He could sense a calm and composed demeanor from Ding Fan, and indeed, a representative of the Great Gate Sect in the Secular World should not be that simple.
"I have some important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Elder Kong any further! I shall take my leave..."
Mei Li was seriously injured and waiting for Ding Fan to treat her poison. He truly didn't have much time to delay here.
Elder Kong and Thirteen Maiden could see that Ding Fan indeed had matters to attend to, and they could hardly keep him any longer, so Thirteen Maiden immediately escorted Ding Fan out of the auction house.
Upon leaving the auction house, it was already deep into the night with few souls around. Checking the time, it was already past midnight.
This trip to the underground auction house turned out to be quite fruitful for Ding Fan. Not only did he acquire the Soul Gathering Herb, but his financial source was now secured. Moreover, this place could become an important source for his future cultivation resources.
"Kid, I thought you were afraid of death, hiding inside and not coming out!"
Just as they left the auction house, a voice came through.
Ding Fan looked up and saw the speaker was none other than the elder who had spent a large sum on the Gold Pendant earlier.
At that moment, the elder, besides the enchanting woman who clung to his arm, also had four burly bodyguards following him.
Ding Fan glanced at the individuals; they were all ordinary people, at most capable of some impressive martial moves.
However, Ding Fan frowned, his expression growing serious.
Under his Divine Sense, he could distinctly sense that at least three Human Pinnacle Warriors were spying on him stealthily. Besides those three Human Pinnacle Warriors, there was also one Earth Level Expert.
That spying Earth Level Expert was definitely none other than Ghost Qianzi.
Ding Fan understood these people were waiting for him. He had been too ostentatious in the auction house earlier, and now in their eyes, he had become their prey.
The main reason these people hadn't acted yet, Ding Fan guessed, was because they were still observing, surveilling each other while watching him, waiting, enduring.
"Kid, got scared speechless? Afraid to talk now? Let me tell you, leave all the treasures you have, and then we might let you live..."
At that moment, the speaker was that enchanting woman clinging to the elder's arm. She pressed her chest tightly against the elder and looked fiercely at Ding Fan.
"With just you guys..." Mu Zi started to say as he stepped forward.
Although Mu Zi had grown up in the military, his air of wastefulness was no less than others. He had always been the bully, not the bullied, so how could he possibly tolerate this enchanting woman now.
But before Mu Zi could finish his words, Ding Fan immediately pulled him aside.
Mu Zi was startled and looked back at Ding Fan. At that moment, Ding Fan had already stepped forward. "This place is too conspicuous; I think we should talk somewhere more secluded," he said.
The words Ding Fan said made the elder's eyebrows furrow deeply.
In the elder's view, the four bodyguards he brought with him were all hired from mercenaries at great cost. These were men who had truly killed before. In front of these men, Ding Fan had only the role of being toyed with.
The elder thought Ding Fan should show fear and panic, yet contrary to that, not only was Ding Fan not afraid or panicked, but he also suggested moving to a secluded place. What was this kid up to?
"Fine, that actually saves us some effort," the enchanting woman said, not thinking much of it. In her view, if Ding Fan went to a secluded place, they could easily deal with him there.
Although the old man vaguely felt that something was amiss, he didn't want to defy the bewitching woman's wishes, so they followed Ding Fan and the others to a park nearby.
This park was exceptionally secluded, surrounded by trees, and it was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers.
A truly dark night perfect for murder, with high winds conducive for arson!
"Kid," said the man, "don't say we didn't give you a way out, just hand over the treasures you have on you, and we'll only break your legs before giving you a chance to live!"
Upon getting here, the bewitching woman seemed even more excited as she spoke to Ding Fan standing beside her.
At that moment, Ding Fan didn't even glance at the bewitching woman; he looked up and addressed the surroundings, "Since everyone is already here, hiding doesn't seem fitting for masters."
The bewitching woman was taken aback and looked around.
Right then, the area was eerily empty, with not a single person in sight. "Kid, don't fucking pretend there's someone—"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Before the bewitching woman could finish her sentence, three figures suddenly sprang out, taking up positions at three different points and effectively surrounding everyone present in the middle.
At this, Mu Zi's expression grew solemn; she hadn't noticed the stalkers around them before, and she didn't understand why Ding Fan had brought them here. Now, it appeared he had already sensed someone tailing them.
Mu Zi knew Ding Fan was strong, but she hadn't realized just how formidable he was until now, from the fact that he had detected their followers in advance.
"Masters, please show yourselves…" After those three appeared, Ding Fan, completely unfazed by them, stood with his hands behind his back and called out to the bushes.
Then, as Ding Fan spoke toward that direction, a rustling sound of footsteps followed, and another figure appeared before everyone.
With this person's appearance, the previously arrived three figures couldn't help but look more solemn, clearly, none of these three had known about this later arrival.
This new arrival was none other than Ghost Qianzi.
"Kid, not bad at all for figuring out where I was hiding... Throw your storage ring down here, sever your own hands, and then get lost!" said Ghost Qianzi, who didn't pay any heed to the three Human Pinnacle Warriors beside him, and arrogantly demanded from Ding Fan.
"The items here don't seem like they're enough to be divided among so many of you," Ding Fan snorted coldly from the side.
At that moment, Ghost Qianzi gave a cold glance at the three Human Pinnacle Warriors, "Better scram before I lose my temper, or else you won't even know how you died once I really get angry."
The three Human Pinnacle Warriors looked at each other.
"This isn't a loot that any one of us can swallow alone, let's join forces and share the treasures evenly," said one chubby warrior among the three Human Pinnacle Warriors to the other two.
The other two had no objections. Given the situation, if they didn't join forces, any random individual coming at them wouldn't be a match for Ghost Qianzi.
"I agree, let's work together and share the treasures equally!"
"I agree, let's work together and share the treasures equally!"...
The other two echoed in agreement.
Ghost Qianzi glanced at the three and hmphed lightly. "You think the three of you teaming up can match me? What a joke…" Check latest chapters at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
But the three warriors didn't waste words with Ghost Qianzi and directly pulled out their protection talismans.
As Earth Level Experts, how formidable they were, and without Ling Fan having a Spiritual Artifact and likely many Medicine Pills, those three wouldn't dare to confront an Earth Level Expert.
Men die for wealth, as birds die for food!
"Don't forget, we're here too," shouted the bewitching woman at the group while they confronted each other.
"Did you think we were just decorations?"
Mu Zi looked pityingly at the bewitching woman; ignorance truly was frightening. Any of those people could easily wipe them out with just a finger, yet the bewitching woman foolishly provoked them!
At that moment, the three Human Level Warriors suddenly charged toward Ghost Qianzi…
