Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 101 Huo Yingran: I have nothing to repay you with, so I will only give you Sister Xuan.

Tongzhou.

The surface of the canal shimmered, and an inconspicuous black-sailed boat moved slowly forward.

Huo Yingran sat in the cabin, leaning against the window.

I felt the boat swaying slightly and making a slight creaking sound.

A light blue long skirt outlines the girl's slender waist, like a willow swaying in the wind.

At this time, there was movement in the communication jade slip.

Huo Yingran took a look and immediately saw the message Fang Heng left for her.

See you at the old place!
"It's Senior Hei Wuchang!"

Huo Yingran let out a soft sigh, and in that sigh, there was a kind of inexplicable surprise.

She stood up and was about to walk out of the cabin to find Pei Qingxuan and go to the City of Life and Death together.

But after a change of thought, he retracted his steps and set out alone on the Yellow Springs Road to the City of Life and Death.

A quarter of an hour later.

City of Life and Death, Inn.

Huo Yingran saw a familiar figure.

"Senior Hei Wuchang!" Huo Yingran's voice was sweet, and even through the ghost mask, one could seem to imagine her sweet face.

However, in sharp contrast to this sweet voice are the towering twin peaks.

She is more broad-minded and unfathomable than a woman who has given birth to a child.

"How far are you from Tongzhou?" Fang Heng asked directly.

"About three days."

"Three days?"

Fang Heng frowned, and there seemed to be a hint of worry in his tone.

"Senior Hei Wuchang, what's wrong?"

"According to the information I received, Xiao Juefeng has returned from Guide and is rushing to Tongzhou at full speed."

When Huo Yingran heard the three words "Xiao Juefeng", she subconsciously revealed a strong hatred.

She clenched her fists tightly, and her sharp nails pierced into her palms, causing severe pain.

Noticing Huo Yingran's loss of composure, Fang Heng poured her a cup of spiritual tea to help her calm down.

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea and suppressing the anger and hatred in her heart, Huo Yingran regained her composure.

"Thank you, senior, for the tip!"

"I have a humble request."

Huo Yingran stood up and bowed to Fang Hengfu.

The already tight cloth on the chest seemed to be about to burst, revealing blood.

"Say!"

"Please come to Tongzhou and take me and Sister Xuan with you."

Hearing Huo Yingran's request, Fang Heng chuckled.

"I thought it was something else? Turns out it's this."

"Even if you don't mention it, I will come to pick you up."

"Tongzhou is not an easy place to pass!"

Fang Heng took a sip of the spiritual tea and shook his head.

Although they used the Sixth Prince's power to temporarily confuse the Eastern Palace, they bought a lot of time for Huo Yingran and the others.

However, the battle of Tongzhou is most likely unavoidable.

Fang Heng came to the City of Life and Death this time to purchase mechanical beasts in preparation for the battle of Tongzhou.

Regarding the Battle of Tongzhou, Fang Heng would not fight an unprepared battle.

If everything goes well, it would be best if they could repel the Eastern Palace's troops and allow Huo Yingran to enter the capital calmly.

If things don't go smoothly, perhaps the only option is to expose the Yellow Springs Road and let Huo Yingran pass through the Yellow Springs Road and go to Yujing.

Tongzhou is now within the thousands of miles of Fang Heng's control.

With the help of Huangquan, he can travel back and forth between Yujing and Tongzhou at any time.

Hearing Fang Heng agree so easily, Huo Yingran's gratitude almost overflowed.

A pair of watery eyes looked at Fang Heng with gratitude.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and a faint scent of orchid was exhaled.

"Senior Hei Wuchang, I have no way of repaying your great kindness."

"I have no choice but to offer Sister Xuan's body to you!"

Hearing this, Fang Heng almost spit out the spiritual tea in his mouth.

Will you give me your sister Xuan's body?
Is this how you repay a favor?

Your sister Xuan, do you know?
"Ahem, I helped you enter the capital, but I just couldn't stand the prince killing loyal and good people."

"I'm definitely not attracted by your beauty..."

Without waiting for Fang Heng to finish his words, Huo Yingran nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Senior Hei Wuchang, I understand!"

"Actually, you don't need to feel inferior."

"Although there is a big age gap between you and Sister Xuan."

"But Sister Xuan is not that superficial."

"Ever since you treated Sister Xuan's injuries last time, Sister Xuan's attitude towards you has changed a lot."

"Not only do I talk about you, Senior, during my sword practice."

"Even when I was sleeping at night, the things I heard Sister Xuan talking in her dreams were all about you, Senior."

"Senior, please don't give up!"

"come on!"

"I will be your insider and will make sure that you get what you want, Senior."

Huo Yingran clenched her fists. Through the ghost mask, one could see the thick flames of Bagua in her watery autumn eyes.

Fang Heng: ...

Does the Sword Pavilion Saint think of herself when she practices sword?

Everyone knows that the Saint of Sword Pavilion is obsessed with swordsmanship. She is a sword fanatic who only has swordsmanship in her heart.

Fang Heng really couldn't imagine what it was like for this sword fanatic to think about himself all the time while practicing sword.

Thinking about how to cut yourself into pieces?

Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng said in a deep voice, changing the subject.

"Go back and prepare well."

"In three days, I will go to Tongzhou to pick you up."

"Thank you, senior!"

"On behalf of Sister Xuan, I would like to thank you, Senior."

Looking at Huo Yingran's departing back, Fang Heng curled his lips and sighed in his heart.

Pei Qingxuan, do you know that your best friend sold you to me behind my back?

After Huo Yingran left, Fang Heng also started his own business - purchasing mechanical beasts.

Fang Heng left the inn and went straight to Liangjie Tower.

Liangjielou is the largest shop in Life and Death City.

Since it is the property of the Lord of Life and Death City, the reputation of Liangjie Tower is second to none in Life and Death City.

Moreover, in addition to the guaranteed credibility, there is no need to worry about safety.

All in all, apart from the high price, there are no disadvantages.

When we arrived at Liangjie Tower, two beautiful maids were standing on both sides of the vermilion lacquered gate, welcoming guests.

Two young girls in their twenties, with pretty faces, wearing long white dresses.

The hem of her skirt fluttered in the breeze, revealing her ankles, which were as white as mutton-fat jade.

Seeing this scene, Fang Heng felt dazed.

It was as if he had left the City of Life and Death and arrived in the City of Jade Capital.

In the City of Life and Death, everyone wears a mask to prevent their identities from being exposed.

The only exception is Liangjie Tower.

The people inside do not wear masks, but show their true faces.

There is no difference between it and the shops in the Daqian Dynasty.

In a sense, this is the Lord of Life and Death City showing off his muscles to everyone.

"Welcome distinguished guest!"

"What would you like to buy?"

"Mechanical beast!"

Fang Heng said in a cold voice, with an expression that said, "Keep away from me."

When the welcoming girl heard that Fang Heng wanted to buy a mechanical beast, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

Mechanical beast, this is a big deal.

Even the cheapest mechanical beast is worth hundreds of thousands of taels.

As for the powerful mechanical beasts, they are in short supply and can basically only be seen in the Daqian army.

"Dear guest, please have some tea!"

"Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will go and ask my wife for instructions."

After the maid served Fang Heng the spiritual tea, she went to the backyard to look for the lady she mentioned.

Fang Heng took a look at the spiritual tea and had no intention of drinking it.

Life and Death City is a mixed crowd, and even though Liangjie Tower has a good reputation, Fang Heng does not intend to take the risk and drink the spiritual tea from Liangjie Tower.

After a while.

A charming young woman in a black long dress walked towards her.

The black long skirt clung to her skin like night mist, outlining her voluptuous bust, slender waist and round hips, making them particularly distinct.

As she walked, the curve of her waist swayed in an almost enchanting way, like a beautiful snake, captivating and charming.

Occasionally, a glimpse of jade-like calves flashed through the slit of the skirt, attracting the attention of others and making them unable to resist exploring deeper.

Leprechaun!

The moment he saw the young woman in front of him, these two words popped up in Fang Heng's mind.

Even the most charming courtesan in the Imperial Music Bureau would have to admit defeat to her.

Isn’t it said that the courtesan of the Music Bureau is not as beautiful as the charming young woman in front of him?

But... too feminine.

So awesome!
"Yu Luosha greets fellow Daoist."

"I heard that fellow Daoist needs a mechanical beast?"

Yu Luosha said this with a smile, and her smile gave people the feeling that she was interested in you.

"Exactly!"

"Can you satisfy my request?"

Fang Heng spoke in a cold, old voice, as if he had no interest in the beauty in front of him.

Seeing that Fang Heng was indifferent to her beauty, Yu Luosha was not angry and spoke calmly.

"Daoyou arrived at the right time."

"There will be an auction in this building tonight."

"Coincidentally, there are mechanical beasts at the auction, and they are actually active mechanical beasts of the Kuiniu Army."

After saying that, Yu Luosha smiled, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a seductive arc.

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows under the Black Impermanence mask.

The Kuiniu Army is one of Daqian's elite troops.

The active mechanical beasts were actually taken to the City of Life and Death for auction.

This... is really... a bit outrageous!
Fang Heng subconsciously thought that it was probably someone reselling military supplies.

Yuchi Dan, the great general of the Kuiniu Army, seems to be Fourth Brother's man.

All the mechanical beasts of the Kuiniu Army were resold.

If someone said that Yuchi Dan was unaware of the situation and beat Fang Heng to death, he wouldn't believe it.

Fang Heng took a deep breath, pretended to be indifferent, and said in a happy tone.

"The Kuiniu Army's mechanical beasts, really?"

"I really want to open my eyes."

"This is an invitation to the auction. The auction will officially begin at 3:45 PM tonight."

Fang Heng took the invitation to the auction and stood up to leave.

"I'm going to the market first."

Yu Luosha looked at Fang Heng's departing back, and there seemed to be a strange color flashing in her charming eyes.

……

Fang Heng walked around the market, wanting to buy ghost spirits with gold and wood attributes.

It’s a pity that he didn’t meet the right one, which made Fang Heng quite regretful.

Otherwise, the Fire Barbarian's status will be reduced by -2 again!
Three hours later!

The auction at Liangjielou was held as scheduled.

Fang Heng arrived at the Liangjie Building with an invitation letter in hand.

The Liangjie Building was crowded with people.

Monks and forces from all directions gathered here, with undercurrents surging among them.

There is expectation, but also temptation and caution.

Fang Heng entered the venue, looked around, chose a secluded box and sat down.

There is a formation in the box that can block the detection of divine thoughts.

Fang Heng sat down and took a short rest.

A beautiful young woman slowly walked onto the stage. This woman was the Jade Rakshasa whom Fang Heng had seen during the day.

Compared to the black long dress she wore during the day, Yu Luosha was now wearing a crimson long dress.

The skirt flows like clouds, outlining a graceful figure, and her eyes are full of charm.

It is more charming than during the day.

She waved her hand gently, and the noise in the audience gradually died down. Everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Such an attractive outfit naturally attracted many covetous eyes.

His eyes were so fiery that he seemed to want to swallow Yu Luosha in one gulp.

Yu Luosha has long been accustomed to these scorching gazes.

She smiled slightly, her voice clear as pearls falling on a jade plate:
"Dear guests, welcome to the City of Life and Death Auction! I am Hongluan, and I will be hosting this auction today..."

Before Yu Luosha could finish her words, a man wearing a Bull Demon mask suddenly interrupted and snorted coldly.

"Didn't they say that the Dark Moon Tribulation Master would personally preside over this auction?"

"What? Where are the others?"

The Lord of the Dark Moon Tribulation?

Many people were stunned when they heard this name.

Who is the Lord of the Dark Moon Tribulation?

It was not until someone explained it to me that I realized that the Lord of Dark Moon Tribulation was the lord of the City of Life and Death!

After hearing what the Bull Demon Mask said, Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and felt a little curious.

What auction?

The Lord of Life and Death City can personally preside over it.

seem--

There is another mystery in today's auction!

The smile on Yu Luosha's face remained unchanged, and her voice was gentle, yet mixed with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"The City Lord has something urgent to attend to. I will be in charge of this auction."

"Why? Your Excellency thinks I, Yu Luosha, am not qualified?"

After hearing what Yu Luosha said, the Bull Demon man immediately shut up and stopped complaining.

However, this conversation between the two of them still caused an uproar in the venue.

"Everyone, enough small talk, the auction is now officially beginning!"

Jade Rakshasa raised her slender finger, and the waiter brought a jade plate.

An ancient long sword was placed on the jade plate, and the sword body was faintly emitting a cold blue light.

"The first lot is the precious Cold Spring Sword!"

"The Cold Spring Sword is a relic of a senior sword cultivator from the Sword Pavilion."

"This sword is forged from cold spring iron. It possesses a fierce and powerful sword spirit, and can triple the power of water-based sword techniques."

"Starting price: one million taels!"

When Yu Luosha's voice fell, the monks in the audience were in an uproar.

Many sword cultivators had burning eyes, and it was obvious that they were determined to obtain this item.

"How dare you put Jiange's treasure up for auction?"

"Life and Death City is so arrogant!"

Fang Heng touched his chin and sighed.

He was not interested in the Hanquan Sword.

Not to mention that the attributes are incompatible with the sword technique he practiced.

However, as a prince, he could not use the things in Jiange openly.

"Six hundred thousand taels!"

"Seven hundred thousand taels!"

……

Not long after, this precious flying sword was bought by a sword cultivator for two million taels. It was not known whether the other party was a sword cultivator from the Sword Pavilion.

The auction pace became increasingly fast, Yu Luosha waved his hand again, and the second item was presented.

The waiter brought up a fist-sized dark round bead with a faint bloody glow on its surface.

Yu Luosha narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone became a little more mysterious:
"The second lot is the Blood Soul Orb. It is rumored to be formed from the blood of an ancient demon beast, and it contains tremendous vitality."

"If it is refined and absorbed into the body, it can help cultivators strengthen their physique and blood. Whether they are martial arts masters or Taoist body cultivators, it will be of great benefit."

……

Soon, the auction of the Blood Soul Orb ended.

In a secret private room, several figures with serious expressions were whispering.

"Do you think Zhou Jueyin has taken the bait?"

"The Blood Soul Pearl is a treasure for body refinement. Zhou Jueyin's body was used for body refinement, and his physical body was destroyed."

"Even if the possession is successful, the strength will be greatly reduced."

"If he gets the Blood Soul Orb, he can recover his strength as quickly as possible."

"Fifty-fifty!"

"Zhou Jueyin is a gloomy person. No one can guess what he is thinking."

"As long as the Blood Soul Orb is refined, we will be able to sense the other party's whereabouts."

"Whether it's Zhou Jueyin or not, we'll find out once we take a trip."

……

The auction is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Soon, Fang Heng saw his target.

Mechanical beast - Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger.

Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger, the main combat equipment of the Kuiniu Army.

Just like that, he appeared openly at the auction in Life and Death City.

More importantly, it’s brand new!
Seeing this, Fang Heng couldn't help but frown and took a breath.

The problems within the Kuiniu Army may be even bigger than he expected.

The Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger, a mechanical beast, is good at thunder magic and is divided into one yin and one yang.

The combination of yin and yang can cause thunder from the nine heavens to descend, with a power that is almost enough to destroy the world.

Although mechanical beasts have various drawbacks, black crystals will affect the mind of the person controlling them.

But for big forces, small-scale use is not a problem.

It's nothing more than letting the death squad take control.

Even if he is really possessed, I won’t feel sorry for him.

Just as Fang Heng was thinking, the fight for the Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger had already begun.

The price of Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger continued to rise, but fortunately Fang Heng was well prepared.

He spent six million taels to buy five Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger mechanical beasts.

After the auction of Yin Yang Thunder Tiger ended.

Yu Luosha smiled, and the waiter brought out another mechanical beast - the Thunder Crow.

The Thunder Crow is a flying mechanical beast that can travel tens of thousands of miles a day. Its price is even higher than that of the Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger.

In the end, Fang Heng spent two million taels to buy the Thunder Crow.

After it was over, Fang Heng was thinking in his mind.

How much benefit did the corrupt officials in the Kuiniu Army gain from this auction alone?

"Humph--"

"These are all my money, and sooner or later I will make you spit it all out."

……

Soon, the auction was coming to an end.

The finale was also served.

"The grand finale, the Lingbao Longyuan Sword, starts at 100 million taels of silver!"

When Yu Luosha said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. Many people breathed rapidly, attracted by the Longyuan Sword she mentioned.

Not only the others, but Fang Heng's face was also full of astonishment.

The surprise in his heart was like a raging wave, about to swallow him up.

Lingbao!

The finale of the auction was actually a spiritual treasure.

No wonder this auction was originally hosted by the Lord of the Dark Moon Tribulation himself.

The auction of a spiritual treasure is indeed enough to make the Lord of Life and Death City take personal action.

However, the other party didn't know what trouble he had encountered.

He couldn't even take care of the auction of spiritual treasures.

When the Longyuan Sword appeared at the auction.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

The Longyuan Sword is the most precious treasure of the Sword Casting Villa.

How could he appear at the auction in the City of Life and Death?
What exactly happened at Zhujian Villa?
Even the most precious treasure of the clan has fallen into the hands of outsiders?
The Sword-Forging Villa is a first-class strength second only to the Ten Great Dao Courts.

In terms of pure strength, it is even above Changqing Temple.

In particular, the Sword-Forging Villa is famous for its sword-forging and is extremely renowned.

The swords hidden in the villa are second only to those in Jiange in quality!

The leakage of the Longyuan Sword must be due to a major change in the Sword Casting Villa.

Perhaps, Zhujian Villa, a first-class sect, will be removed from the list soon.

This thought couldn't help but emerge in everyone's mind.

The brave monks are all ready to go to the vicinity of the Sword-Forging Villa to try their luck.

……

After the auction, Fang Heng handed the mechanical beast to Xie Qingming and asked him to train it as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the members of the Qilin Secret Guard are all experts in manipulating mechanical beasts.

Among them, there are even some who came from the Kuiniu Army and had previously controlled the Yin-Yang Thunder Tiger and the Thunder Crow.

Therefore, the Qilin Secret Guards quickly got the hang of these two mechanical beasts.

Three days later.

Outside Tongzhou, on the canal.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, Pei Qingxuan stood at the bow of the black-sailed boat, her black hair blown by the river breeze.

She squinted her eyes and looked ahead - the originally wide canal was now as crowded as a busy city.

Hundreds of merchant ships and cargo barges were crowded together, and the lanterns on their masts formed a blood-red galaxy in the fog.

She frowned, tapped the scabbard with her fingertips, and her voice, wrapped in her internal energy, was transmitted to the neighboring boat.

"What happened ahead?"

"The Eastern Palace Black Armor Guards have sealed the waterway and set up a checkpoint ahead!"

"I heard they're trying to capture the Shinto cultists. All ships entering the capital will be searched."

Hearing this, Pei Qingxuan's heart sank, and he returned to the black-sailed boat calmly.

Huo Yingran hurriedly walked out of the cabin and asked with concern.

"Sister Xuan, what happened?"

"People from the East Palace have set up a checkpoint ahead to inspect the passing ships."

"We have to get off the boat!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingran's eyes narrowed.

They had anticipated that people from the East Palace would block their way.

Next comes the most difficult part of the journey.

"Sister Xuan, what should we do?" Huo Yingran asked.

Pei Qingxuan had a plan in place, and spoke slowly in a cold voice.

"We are divided into two groups."

"I will use my treasure to transform into your appearance, walk along the mountain path, and attract the attention of the East Palace."

"You disguised yourself, took the official road, and passed through Tongzhou openly."

After hearing Pei Qingxuan's plan, Huo Yingran was stunned.

Divide the troops into two groups!

She was also required to take the official road and pass through Tongzhou openly.

"Sister Xuan, this... isn't it... too risky?"

Huo Yingran swallowed and marveled at the boldness of Pei Qingxuan's plan.

Pei Qingxuan disagreed, shook his head and explained.

"With so many people from the East Palace, it would be unwise for us to force our way in."

"Even if we take a land route, we will most likely not escape the eyes of the Eastern Palace."

"I'm walking along the mountain road, and my whereabouts are ghostly. I'm sure the people from the East Palace will follow me."

"On the contrary, you are taking the official route, hiding under the dark lights, and maybe you can fish in troubled waters."

"I'll help you distract the East Palace's men. Remember to relax and don't show your hand."

Seeing that Pei Qingxuan had made up her mind, Huo Yingran nodded solemnly.

"Sister Xuan, be careful on your journey."

Soon, the two left the peng boat.

Pei Qingxuan didn't know what treasure he used, but he actually created another Huo Yingran, who looked just like a real person, with no difference at all.

The figure flashed and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

On the other side, Huo Yingran disguised himself as a handsome young scholar and walked along the official road towards Tongzhou.
