At the gates of Blackrock City, Kai Mikoto, and Yang Xin bid farewell to Ye Mo and the men that came from the Snow Wind Family.
"Should we have split up like this?" Yang Xin asked.
"Of course. This place is a treasure trove. A place where we can temper ourselves without the moral handicap, Ye Mo." Kai replied. "This place uses Demon Crystal Rocks as currency. But first.."
Kai moved faster then Yang Xin could react. Before she realized it, Kai had slapped a suppression inscription on her chest. Her soul force was present but felt unreachable.
"What did you do to me?" She asked.
"Soul Force suppression. Train hard and your cultivation will rise by leaps and bounds. Take this," Kai handed her silver grade Jian Sword with a white and gold hilt and matching scabbard.
When Mikoto saw the sword a brief frown appeared her face. She then looked at Kai and took a deep breath.
"That Sword was found in the Ancient Orchid Ruins on the body of a noblewoman. " Kai explained.
Yang Xin drew the sword and the sharp metal ting rang like a divine bell, attracting the looks of envy from the people who passed them by. On the blade were inscriptions that made no sense to Yang Xin. However, at the base of the blade, she read its name aloud: Chaotic Lightning Sword.

"Lord Ye Mo. Do you really trust Ashikaga Kai?" Ye Zhu asked.
"He hasn't given me a reason not to." Ye Mo replied. "Just focus on the task at hand."

Kai, Mikoto, and Yang Xin spent a couple of days in an inn paid for by the money of people they robbed in the dead of night. While Kai was out getting a grasp of the city's inner workings. Mikoto was training Yang Xin in the art of the sword.
With her soul force sealed, it was the hardest training that Yang Xin had undergone in a very long time.
Kai was currently sitting in an auction taking note of the big families and what they considered to be valuable items.
Blackrock city had three top families. The Blood Demon Clan is number one followed by the Wugui Family and the Jade Seal Family. Kai took the most interest in the Blood Demon Clan. The shared a heavy resemblance to the Blood Fiends that once occupied his World Egg minus the crimson draconic wings.
"Uncle, who are those people in that both. They don't look ordinary, but I have to meet that woman." Kai spoke to the golem next to him.
"That is the young miss of the Blood Demon clan. The patriarch Wei Zhao dots on her. She is only 15 and is already a Black-Gold expert, many think the blood demon clan will reclaim the Law of the ancestor through the young Miss."
"Law of their ancestor?"
"The Law of Blood..." the uncle replied.
Kai pursed his lips and nods in interest. "Do you know they are here in this Divine Seal Auction house and not the Tan Ming Auction House. This place is only 3rd best."
"Ahh, Nephew, knows a little but not all. Rumors say that the Divine Seal Auction house has found something precious in the Nine-layer deathlands."
"Wow... what did they find?"
The Golem looked around and leaned closer to Kai. "Wu Lan's spear. Bloodcursed spear."
"Who is this Wu Lan?"
"A human lady who forged the laws of blood into her spear. The spear drinks the strength of its kills and strengthens itself through the blood laws. Only a blood law cultivator on the level Wu Lan can wield it... I heard 7 black- gold spiritualist died to bring it here. "
"7? Dead?"
"Hmm. the spear swallowed their blood and strength."
"Why would someone risk wielding such a weapon?"
"Because it's beyond gold rank. The rarest of ranked weapons and they only become mythical the higher the rank becomes."
"So silver ranked weapons must cost a fortune?"
"Hmm. Only the most powerful families and organizations wield them. Quite now, the auction is about to begin. The Wugui Family and Blood Demon Clan only allow the most refined people to attend the auction with them."
Kai looked around the Hall and noticed everyone was as silent as the dead.
When the auction host appeared on stage. Kai quietly stood up and left the hall. He then his void step technique to sneak past the guards and into the Wugui both.
The moment Kai entered he was seized by two demigods. Though Kai's face remained indifferent.
"You can kick me out or accept the trinkets of this lowly man in exchange for a favor."
A middle-aged turtle humanoid replied without even turning around. "Or we can take the trinkets of a lowly man, and his life."
Kai sigh and then pulled them into his world egg where he released the full might of his power as a spiritual god of war/slaughter. Kai suppressed four demigods and legend rank with ease.
"You will help me, or I will raze your Wugui Family and offer my trinkets to another family."
"Please Lord, we meant no offense. Spare my Wugui family and we will do anything you ask."
"You must be Wu Han. The Wugui patriarch. Good. This is what you will do."
Kai gave them one simple task. Buy nothing except for Wu Lan's spear.
