As if the Bodhisattva of Great Wish had spoken his mind, Li Wufeng's face shone with a bloody light, and a strange phenomenon of a sea of blood suddenly appeared behind him, with the smell of blood instantly filling the high platform.
Just then, a voice that sounded both reproachful and delightful suddenly rang out from the high platform:
"It stinks! Brother Li, please stop your supernatural powers! Otherwise, I'll get angry."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they all looked toward the source of the voice. There before them came a captivatingly beautiful face.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, reclining languidly in a jade chair, her delicate face incomparably stunning, her peach blossom eyes brimming with charm. A captivating smile gradually curved her lips.
Li Wanru, the "Heavenly Maiden" of the Chayin Sect, is also an old monster at the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Alright! Everyone, please take your seats! He's just a Foundation Establishment junior; let's not spoil the atmosphere. The important matter is what matters."
The speaker was a skeleton over ten feet tall, its entire body crystal clear and gleaming with dazzling golden light, like a perfect work of art.
It sat beside the Heavenly Maiden, with Li Wufeng of the Blood Demon Sect on its right.
"The Skeleton Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect!" Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat as he quickly recalled a very troublesome figure from the Shattered Star Sea.
Zhao Sheng secretly observed and discovered that there were six large jade chairs on the main seat of the high platform. The three Nascent Soul masters from the Blood Demon Sect, the Yin Sect, and the Corpse Sect were already seated, along with the Bodhisattva Hongyuan. There were still two empty seats.
Needless to say, those who will be sitting there will definitely be big shots of the same rank.
"What happened? It's just a trade fair, yet it attracted so many important figures? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here, no matter how eloquently they described it."
It's too late to say all this now. Zhao Sheng secretly decided to take it one step at a time for now.
On the other side, the Bodhisattva of Great Vow withdrew her gaze and waved her jade hand with a slight smile.
In an instant, the monks and nuns, the jeweled banners and canopies, the bells and chimes, the string and wind instruments, and the lotus throne suddenly dissipated into a cloud of mist and merged into the heaven and earth.
The next moment, the Bodhisattva of Great Vows was already seated on the jade chair, reclining languidly like a celestial maiden, revealing a pair of flawless jade legs and feet.
If it weren't for the fact that its true form was a thousand-year-old carnivorous vulture, at least half of the people present, regardless of gender or demonic nature, would have fallen at its feet.
"Hehe! Little one, why aren't you taking your seat? What are you standing there for?"
At this moment, the celestial maiden Li Wanru spoke again.
The sound emanating from her red lips was an indescribable, alluring ecstasy that could evoke fantasies.
But the group of evil spirits and heretics turned pale with fright upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng, who was being targeted, felt his blood surge and a nameless fire rise in his heart.
However, the next moment, his eyes flashed, his expression became calm, and his body had returned to normal.
Later, he found a secluded place to sit down, closed his eyes to rest, and remained silent, trying to minimize his presence.
However, after what just happened, he has attracted a lot of attention.
They all sat down only after going through a series of tests; it's only you who alarmed several big shots.
"A mere sea demon brat abandons the many divine skills and treasures of his own race to learn the Blood Soul Scripture, which will bring endless trouble."
"Wait until it's the right time, then we'll see how you die!"
Some narrow-minded evil spirits secretly complained to themselves.
From a broader perspective, the Sea Demons and the Humans are sworn enemies, irreconcilable.
But for the group of seasoned demons present, none of them were ruthless killers, their hands stained with the blood of their own kind. All talk of feuds between the two races was utter nonsense; only a struggle for profit could drive them to attack a clearly formidable sea demon.
Besides, Dragon Head Island is now the domain of the Sea Demons. To attack them here would be foolish.
Yes, there really is a "fool".
Diagonally opposite Zhao Sheng, across thirteen or fourteen tables, the Skull Child would occasionally raise his eyelids to glance at Zhao Sheng, his eyes filled with deep malice.
The talisman in his sleeve became extremely hot after Zhao Sheng sat down.
"The target actually appeared here, it's truly fate!" he thought with intense excitement.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng, who had sat down, appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but he had already sensed danger.
Through his slits, he saw clusters of red, yellow, white, and most dangerously black clouds suddenly rising from the high platform.
Despite having prepared beforehand, Zhao Sheng was still taken aback when he actually saw what was happening.
There were about twenty people present, more than half of whom were of black aura, eight of whom were red (five blood and three red), three of whom were yellow (one dark and two light), and only five of whom were white.
Red already signifies that the other party is extremely dangerous and can threaten his life, so the black aura representing death goes without saying.
Zhao Sheng believed that his strength was among the top-tier in the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, more than half of those present were stronger than him, which was quite unexpected.
Soon, a violently pulsating cloud of crimson mist caught Zhao Sheng's attention.
His gaze shifted subtly, and he discovered that its owner was a gaunt young man dressed in a robe adorned with hundreds of skulls.
Although the other party concealed it very well, their murderous intent had already been exposed.
For a moment, Zhao Sheng secretly increased his vigilance.
Time flowed by, and two more guests joined the platform.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, no one else came.
The banquet on the high platform had long been cleared away, and groups of beautiful women danced to the music, their graceful and alluring movements captivating.
But by this time, the demonic cultivators and alien races had grown impatient, and no matter how beautiful the dance was, it could no longer attract their interest.
If it weren't for the four Nascent Soul level experts suppressing them, the group of old demons and monsters would have overturned the table long ago.
At this moment, Li Wufeng could no longer contain his temper and roared, "Hongyuan, when is the old monk Tianlang coming?"
The celestial maiden Li Wanru chimed in, "It seems the Heavenly Wolf Arhat has been delayed by important matters. How about we start the trade fair first?"
"Yes, this old ancestor agrees to this proposal!" The Skeleton Ancestor's jaw opened and closed, his voice cold and hard.
The Bodhisattva Hongyuan did not want to offend three people of the same rank at the same time, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's do as you all say."
"Hehe! My little minions, show me what treasures you have. If they catch my eye, I'll make sure you don't suffer any losses!"
Despite being reduced to an indestructible skeleton, the Skeleton Ancestor was the most unruly of the four Nascent Soul level monsters.
At its command, the atmosphere on the high platform immediately became lively, and the demons and alien races took out their prepared treasures and placed them on the jade table in front of them.
Zhao Sheng looked around and saw a dazzling array of treasures on the table. Among them were talismans and high-grade spiritual artifacts, while the rest were dazzling magical treasures, spiritual pills and talismans of the third rank and above, magical treasure-level refining materials such as Linlin Iron, and even rare and precious treasures such as the inner cores and spiritual bones of great demons.
Occasionally, rare and exotic herbs and fruits appear, but none of them are more than a thousand years old. There is even a nine-leaf ginseng that is as thick as a child's arm that has already developed a spirit. The shadow of a chubby, fair-skinned baby faintly appears above the ginseng leaves.
When Zhao Sheng saw a certain table, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. Three golden Golden Elixir pills were neatly arranged in an open jade box.
The owner of the jade box was none other than that holy and enchanting Golden Core Gu cultivator.
Zhao Sheng glanced at the other person, then secretly searched through the contents of his storage bag. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he quietly took out the incomplete formula for the Enlightenment Pill and a bottle containing two Foundation Establishment Pills, placing them on the table.
At the same time, he suddenly had a sealed talisman box in his hand. The box was carved from a single piece of pure Yin spirit stone and contained strange nematodes found in the underwater cave in the mist.
