Ye Xiao arrived in front of his goal, Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass.

As the name says itself, the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass was a Divine Spirit Herb. As for its usage, Ye Xiao thought that he'll soon unlock the rest of Ancient Pill God's memories and get to know about it.

For now, he could plant it on the Second Floor of Nine Story Pagoda and wait for it to keep multiplying.

Without wasting any more time, Ye Xiao immediately planted the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass on the Second Floor of Nine Story Pagoda.

Then he looked around him for a short moment. Seeing that there was nothing worth his time here, Ye Xiao decided to go out of this small island and hunt some Ancient Immortal Realm Origin Beasts.

But at this time, he suddenly felt great danger coming from behind him.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao was still Dragonified. He immediately flapped his wings with all his strength and shot forward before dodging to the side, avoiding the fatal attack.

The moment Ye Xiao dodged to the side, a sharp sword light slashed past his arm, causing a light cut to appear on dragon scales as blood started coming out from the wound.

But this was nothing compared to the place where Ye Xiao was standing just a few seconds ago. That place, that ground was slashed into two parts. The slash was extremely long and seemed to have slashed the entire island into two parts.

Well, this was a kind of illusion that people would get upon seeing the extremely long but smooth crack that was made from the sword attack just now. In reality, the island was not slashed into parts.

Ye Xiao turned back and saw a figure slowly walking out from dust and smoke.

Who could be if not Lei Tianjiang?

Lei Tianjiang was still alive. It was just that his body was covered with wounds and there were also many burning marks on his body. At the same time, many parts of Lei Tianjiang's body were covered with blood.

It was clear that Lei Tianjiang was in this situation because of Ye Xiao's previous full-strength attack.

"You are still alive?"

Ye Xiao was not much surprised to see Lei Tianjiang walking out alive. No matter how powerful Ye Xiao was, he was still two major realms and a minor stage below Lei Tianjiang.

Lei Tianjiang was not someone whom Ye Xiao could face head-on. Although Lei Tianjiang was injured, he was not in the condition where he could not fight Ye Xiao.

Bastard, you dare to injure me, you dare to do this to me. I will kill you!"

Lei Tianjiang shouted and his entire body was covered with yellow lightning. At the same time, the sword in his hand also flickered with yellow lightning.

"One Sword Kill!"

Lei Tianjiang slashed with his sword and a yellow lightning arc shot toward Ye Xiao with fierce destructive force.

"Blood Slaughter Hand!"

Ye Xiao extended his hand as blood energy gushed out. At the same time, the aura to slaughter burst out.

With his bare hand filled with dragon scales and blood energy, Ye Xiao caught the sword arc and munched it forcefully, causing it to shatter into many pieces of light before disappearing into the thin air.

But at the same time, Lei Tianjiang appeared in front of Ye Xiao and kicked him in the chest.

"Puff!"

Ye Xiao spurted out a mouthful of blood as he was shot back with extreme speed. A foot's imprint appeared on Ye Xiao's chest but since his chest was covered with dragon scales, it was difficult to see this imprint.

Ye Xiao flapped his wings before stabilizing himself in the air and landing on the ground. The Wood Blossom Bloodline started working and healing the injuries he had suffered from Lei Tianjiang's attack.

Ye Xiao looked at Lei Tianjiang seriously. He understood that dealing with Lei Tianjiang was not as easy as he thought at the start. It could also be said that it was impossible for Ye Xiao to deal with Lei Tianjiang with his current strength.

But... killing Lei Tianjiang and dealing some wounds and serious injuries were two different matters.

Although Ye Xiao could not kill Lei Tianjiang, he believed that he could still deal a serious injury to Lei Tianjiang and escape from this island.

He swung the Sea Dragon Spear and pointed took a stance. Heavenly Lightning once again covered the Sea Dragon Spear but this time, Ye Xiao was not going to use the skill, Dragon Shattering The Heavens.

"Sea Dragon Spear, Fourth Style, Return To The Sea!"

The entire island transformed into an endless sea. The clear blue sky was suddenly enveloped by dark clouds that were rumbling with silver lightning. A frightening aura spread far.

At the same time, a dragon's roar came from behind the dark clouds.Lei Tianjiang's face turned serious. He was ready to counterattack at any time. He could feel that this attack of Ye Xiao was in no way inferior to his previous attack. It also meant that if this attack landed on his body, he will once again suffer some injuries.

This was exactly what Lei Tianjiang did not want. How could he, a Middle Body Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist, suffer injuries from the hand of an Early Stage Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist?

Lei Tianjiang roared furiously and pounced towards Ye Xiao to attack him. He wanted to attack Ye Xiao before Ye Xiao could complete his attack.

But exactly at this time, another dragon's roar echoed out from behind the clouds, causing many waves of shockwave to spread out.

Lei Tianjiang who was in the middle of pouncing at Ye Xiao could balance his body was flung away before landing in the sea.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying aura descended from the sky, enveloping the endless sea.

At this time, Lei Tianjiang felt as if an extremely terrifying existence was about to descend from behind the dark clouds.

The dark cloud distorted and a huge dragon revealed its figure. It was a blue-sea-like dragon. It was standing in the void while looking down at Lei Tianjiang as if it had already locked on him.

Suddenly, the sea started surging and many waves with a height of more than 100 meters swept towards Lei Tianjiang from the four directions at the same time. Moreover, it was not the end of this attack.

The dragon in the sky opened its spread its wings wide as the wings flashed with shining blue light. At the same time, countless arrows manifested in the air in front of the dragon.

These arrows were exuding a terrifying aura. It was as if even a High Grade Immortal Weapon could be pierced by these arrows in an instant.

"Roar!"

With the roar of the dragon, all those arrows shot at Lei Tianjiang and along with the arrows, the dragon also flew at him with extreme speed and directed landed on the place where Lei Tianjiang was facing the violent waves of the sea and the arrows.

"Roar!"

"BOOM!"

"Splash!

With the dragon's roar, the water of the sea flung high in the sky and splashed in every direction. Lei Tianjiang seemed to have been drowned deep inside the Endless Sea and what was happening with him could not be seen by anyone.

But Ye Xiao could feel what was happening.

Lei Tianjiang was really not someone Ye Xiao could compete against with his current strength.

This terrifying attack of Ye Xiao was actually successfully being countered by Lei Tianjiang with his sword.

Not a single arrow pierced into his body and he was facing the dragon with the sword filled with a yellow lightning in his hand.

It was Ye Xiao's luck that Lei Tianjiang was drowned deep inside the Endless Sea otherwise the dragon could not have faced Lei Tianjiang till now.

Finding the perfect opportunity, Ye Xiao left the island and flew in a random direction. Although Ye Xiao escaped from the island, he still chose to stay at the border between the Low Grade Sea Region and the Blood Sea.

On the other hand, on the small island, Ye Xiao's attack was successfully countered by Lei Tianjiang. Everything returned to normal. Lei Tianjiang spent some effort to counter this attack of Ye Xiao.

He didn't suffer any serious injury this time. One of the reasons why he didn't suffer any serious injury was because this time, he was ready to face Ye Xiao's attack.

Previously, he was not ready and had underestimated Ye Xiao greatly, causing him to suffer so many injuries. If he had taken Ye Xiao seriously from the start, he could not have been injured at all.

Lei Tianjiang looked around him with furious eyes. He was so angry that his eyes had turned red like a devil. Not seeing Ye Xiao, he shouted loudly, "Brat, do you think you can escape after taking my Soaring Star Sect's things away.. You have to pay for what you did. My Soaring Star Sect will definitely hunt you down no matter

Xiao kept hunting and in the next few days, he had hunted down many Ancient Immortal Realm Origin Beasts. There was also one Early Body Stage Dao Manifestation Realm Origin Beast in the list of his hunt.

On the other hand, many disciples and some elders of the Soaring Star Sect were also searching for Ye Xiao with all their might. But... Since Ye Xiao never stayed at a single place and kept moving to hunt down the Origin beasts, he never came across these people.

On this particular day, Ye Xiao once again entered the Fifth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and return back to the Green Blood Demon World.

He had spent a total of twenty days on the Ancient Divine World but here, in the Upper Realm, only two days passed.

As long as Ye Xiao was still in the Upper Realm, he can only go to the Ancient Divine World one more time. It was because the Gate on the Fifth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda could only allow Ye Xiao to go to any world of Divine Realm for only two times at most, as long as he was still at the Upper Realm and had yet to ascend.

He could go to any world of the Upper Realm through the Gate on the Fifth Floor for as many times as he wants. It was also because Ye Xiao's current affiliation was on the Upper Realm.

Yes, after ascending to the Divine Realm, Ye Xiao could once again go to the Ancient Divine World or any other world there through the Gate on the Fifth Floor of Nine Story Pagoda. At that time, there would be no limit to how many times he could travel back and forth.

Of course, at that time, the limitation will be applied on going back to the worlds of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm.

.....

_Hidden Demon Auction House_

Ye Xiao arrived in front of the Hidden Demon Auction House. Today was the day of the auction and he needed to participate in it. Only then can he get Zhao Qing'er back.

But...

Ye Xiao didn't enter the auction house after arriving here. Instead, he started looking around for someone. The crowd in front of the Auction House was no joke. There were just too many demons and demonic cultivators gathered here.

Even those demons and demonic cultivators had come who could not enter the auction house because they did not have invitation cards. Maybe, they were just too excited about the auction, after all, this auction was the biggest auction of the entire Green Blood Demon World.

Ye Xiao had promised Yi Meng that he'll meet her at the auction house. So, right now, he was looking for her. He guessed that Yi Meng must have also been looking for him at this time.

As expected, after about five minutes, Ye Xiao saw Yi Meng who was waving her hands at him. Ye Xiao smiled and moved toward her. She also walked to him and said, "I thought something happened to you and you were not going to come."

Her voice was filled with some guilt and also a relief. She was feeling guilty for leaving Ye Xiao behind at the Black Desert... though Ye Xiao was the one who told her to leave.

She knew how dangerous it was in the Black Desert. Ye Xiao was on his own, facing the life-threatening danger. Seeing him in front of her safe and sound made Yi Meng relieved. Only now did her guilt lessened a little.

"Haha, what can happen to me? I already told you that I will definitely come here. If I was not confident, why would I tell you this?" Ye Xiao laughed, making Yi Meng feel more comfortable.

Then, both of them entered the auction house by showing the invitation to the guards guarding the gate.

Yi Meng didn't have the invitation but Ye Xiao did. Because of him, she was also able to enter.

.....

"Do you want to buy something here?" Yi Meng asked.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "You'll know when the times come. Let's go first."

Very soon, both of them were led by an assistant demon to a gate. Opening the gate, both of them entered the room. But, instead of appearing in a room, Ye Xiao and Yi Meng appeared in a large field.

This was another dimension where all the auction items were placed.

Both of them saw many rows of items in their left and right. Many demons were looking at those items and were placing their bids.

There were many eye-catching items placed. Just looking at those items made Ye Xiao and Yi Meng's eyes shine brightly. But the majority of items were for demons to use.

"Violent Wind Immortal Fruit, Black-Striped Golden Thread Python Egg, Scarlet Blood Soul Refining Stone, Blood Evil Demon Spirit Technique, Blood Demon Sun Fist, Dark Blood Shadow Essence, Evil Demon Blade, Nether Crystal Crimson Fire Stone, Heaven Rank Fire Soul..."

"Oh my god, there are so many treasures here. Who would have thought that such high-ranking treasures were all gathered at a single place? No wonder... it is no wonder that this auction is called the Biggest Auction of the entire Green Blood Demon World. Just the fact that this auction is being held inside a separate dimensional space is already enough to prove how majestic this auction is. Moreover, the land here is so big. We can not even see the end. As far as my eyes could see, there are only treasures. This is just...magnificent!"

Yi Meng was really shocked. She had never seen a scene like this. This scene was widening Yi Meng and Ye Xiao's horizons.

Ye Xiao was also attracted by many items. He had the impulse to bid for some of them but controlled himself. He started looking for Zhao Qing'er.

Looking around, Ye Xiao said, "Miss Yi, can you do me a favour?"

"Yeah, sure! What?"

"Let's separate and search for a girl. She was caught by the demons along with you. You were sold to the Blood Demon Sect and on the other hand, that girl was brought here and was placed for auction as a slave. I'm looking for her. Help me look for her!"

Yi Meng was surprised when she heard what Ye Xiao said. She remembered that girl who was caught along with her.

At that time, she was escaping from a Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demonic beast. While she was still running for her life, she came across a beautiful girl whose face was covered with a veil. She didn't know who this girl was but when she asked for her help, that girl didn't refuse her. Both of them worked together to distract the demonic beast and escaped successfully.

But, they had just escaped from the demonic beast and were caught by a bald demon who had four hands.

They were already very tired and out of spirit energy. On top of that, this was a demon world where demonic energy floats in the air. The spirit energy was very thin, so... quickly recovering the lost spirit energy was impossible in the situation they were in. They had no strength to retaliate or fight that bald demon.

It was also because of this that both girls were caught by the bald demons so easily.

After catching both of them, that demon sealed their cultivation base so that they could not retaliate. After that, he sold Yi Meng to the Blood Demon Sect while bringing Zhao Qing'er here to auction her off as a slave.

Only now did she understand why Ye Xiao wanted to search for the biggest auction of the entire Green Blood Demon World.

That girl who helped her must have some sort of relationship with Ye Xiao. Only this could explain why Ye Xiao took such a great risk to come to the Eastern Wasteland and participate in this auction.

It has to know that this was a once-in-1000-year held auction, the biggest auction of the entire world. It also meant that almost all the big shots of the Green Blood Demon World might have come here. There was an extremely large possibility for Demon Master of Blood Demon Sect to come and participate.

If she or Ye Xiao were to come face to face to the Demon Master, no one knew what would happen.

"Can I ask, who she is to you?" Yi Meng looked at Ye Xiao deeply and asked.

Ye Xiao answered in a deep voice, "She... she is my woman!"

Yi Meng had already expected this answer. She nodded and separated from Ye Xiao. Both of them started searching for Zhao Qing'er.

He came across many slaves in his way searching for Zhao Qing'er. Some of them were other humans who were caught, some of them were demoness, and some of them were demi-humans.

But Zhao Qing'er was nowhere to be found.
