However, in the eyes of the beautiful woman in the green gauze, Su Hong's trembling body was due to her being ashamed and angry at her words. In the past few days, her belief that she could take down Su Hong in one blow had been shaken several times. Each time, she had failed. Seeing that Su Hong was about to commit suicide, she hurriedly tried to stabilize the other party with her words. Because she wasn't sure what method Su Hong intended to use to kill herself. If she just died, although it would be a bit of a pity, she would just feel that it was a great pity. In the end, she could still get the items. But if the other party made the white light circling her wrist self-destruct, her Storage Pouch would probably also be reduced to ashes.
Su Hong truly had many magical treasures. Each time, she could give her some surprises. Take the white light that had been circling her right wrist. The beautiful woman in the green gauze knew it was a flying dagger, and its power was so great that even she felt envious. Two of her later attacks were blocked by this treasure. Although the last time she had sent the flying dagger flying more than ten zhang away, it had still bought Su Hong an opportunity. She had consecutively sacrificed other magical treasures to block her attacks, and then that flying dagger had flown back again to protect Su Hong.
What the beautiful woman in the green gauze didn't know was that after she had sent the flying dagger flying the last time, Su Hong was already at the end of her tether. In the previous attacks, although the flying dagger had been sent flying, it had only been a few zhang away from her body. But the last attack had made Su Hong's flying dagger almost fall out of control.
"I say, you are really thin-skinned. You're getting shy over this? It's not like everything is in your Storage Pouch, right? As you said, the power of 'Gui Qu Lai Xi' is very mysterious. Do you only have a Storage Pouch for such storage-type treasures? Hee hee hee, don't say I don't know. You were the one in the Red Rose Moon box at the Chant-Garment Assembly, weren't you? What treasure did you get? Do I need to say it out loud?" The beautiful woman in the green gauze's tone changed, and she said with a charming laugh.
"I... I think you've made a mistake, Senior. I really just came to Yuguan City to check on the branch shop." Su Hong, whose aura had been chaotic, trembled slightly. This time, her suicide attempt had failed, so she could only give up for the time being. She then said with a look of doubt, but how could this escape the eyes of the beautiful woman in the green gauze?
And the beautiful woman in the green gauze's last words made Li Yan, who had originally planned to retract his Divine Sense and continue to close his eyes and recover, suddenly open his eyes. 'She said the Red Rose Moon box? That was Su Hong's box?' Li Yan's heart suddenly pounded with excitement.
If he remembered correctly, besides the Crystal Bone Water being bought by the person in the Red Rose Moon box for the sky-high price of one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones, even the Heaven's Gate Sand and the Level 2 Golden Flood Dragon Python had fallen into the hands of the person in the Red Rose Moon box. At that time, he was surprised by the person in the box, as if they had no concept of the value of Spirit Stones.
Li Yan's Divine Sense immediately swept towards Su Hong again. He saw her asking the beautiful woman in the green gauze in return with a look of incomprehension, but Li Yan was sure he hadn't seen wrong. Su Hong had a moment of astonishment. It seemed that the beautiful woman in the green gauze was most likely right.
As expected, when the beautiful woman in the green gauze saw Su Hong's denial, she just smiled lightly. "Little Sister Su, do you think I would ambush you outside Yuguan City at all costs just by randomly picking someone? You have ruined my good deed. If I remember correctly, the famous beauty Su is particularly fond of the rose moon, especially the vibrant, dripping red rose moon. And at the Chant-Garment Assembly, unless there were few boxes left, you could choose one you liked in the early stages. Am I right? Hee hee hee..."
"You are the person in the hall with the white narcissus on your cuff?" Su Hong's face had returned to calm as she looked at the beautiful woman in the green gauze and suddenly said, as if she had tacitly admitted it. In fact, she couldn't argue. At this point, denial was meaningless. The other party was so certain in ambushing her; they must have had a definite target.
"Oh, little sister, you are truly clever. Why couldn't I be someone from one of the other boxes?"
"Although the exact identities of the people in all the boxes are unknown, we can roughly guess each other's identities. And the one there who was most hostile to me was the person in the hall with the white narcissus embroidered on their cuff."
"What you guessed, little sister... how should I put it? You're right, but also not right. I did want to go to the Chant-Garment Assembly, but those two bald donkeys in the city were chasing me too closely... Hmm, actually, I want all the treasures on you, hee hee hee..." The beautiful woman in the green gauze seemed to admit it, but also not, as she covered her mouth and laughed lightly at the end.
In the cave, Li Yan's expression was somewhat stunned as he listened. He hadn't expected to run into the bidders from that day here, even after leaving Yuguan City for several days. From this, it seemed Su Hong must be the person from the Red Rose Moon box. But as for who this beautiful woman in the green gauze was, he didn't know. But if Su Hong's guess was correct, then the black-robed person in the hall with the white narcissus on their cuff should be someone sent by the beautiful woman in the green gauze's side. Their goal was also the Crystal Bone Water. In the end, although Su Hong got the Crystal Bone Water, she was ambushed by the other party outside the city. This was probably the general situation.
'But maybe this woman was after the other two treasures Su Hong won. She could also be someone else from the hall. Right now, she's neither confirming nor denying, leaving one in a fog,' Li Yan thought quickly. He couldn't obtain the Crystal Bone Water through legitimate means, but now there was such an opportunity. No matter what, he had to take a gamble. It was just that snatching something from Su Hong now made Li Yan feel like he was the same kind of person as the beautiful woman in the green gauze. The only difference was that the beautiful woman would take Su Hong's life, while he couldn't possibly kill her for her treasures.
Li Yan's personality had quietly undergone a great change over the past few years, though he himself hadn't realized it. He was no longer the simple youth of the past. Most of the time, he would consider things from a self-centered perspective. But to really kill Su Hong, he hesitated. He was by no means a kind person, but he was not a bloodthirsty demon either. If Su Hong were a stranger to him, or if the other party were an evil person, Li Yan wouldn't have any qualms.
But in a moment, Li Yan had made a decision.
Just at this moment, the beautiful woman in the green gauze's tone suddenly changed. "Little sister, you're not being honest. So this is your situation. I was wondering how a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be so powerful, being able to fight me for two days with just magical treasures, and I still can't seem to capture you. So you were stalling for time, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. But there are no reinforcements. I won't give you time to recover. I'm coming now, hee hee..." The beautiful woman in the green gauze was using words to stabilize Su Hong while looking for an opportunity. But suddenly, she discovered a problem, which made her beautiful face blossom into a smile.
When Su Hong heard the beautiful woman in the green gauze's words and saw the other party staring at her left hand with captivating, soul-snatching charming eyes, she cried out in her heart, "Not good." At this point, she knew the other party had seen through her. She had been in a standoff with the beautiful woman in the green gauze for some time, stalling for time by talking left and right, all the while holding a Spirit Stone in her left hand to recover. But there was one point she had overlooked: she simply couldn't absorb much of the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone. She could only absorb it wisp by wisp. The meridians in her body were sore and felt like they were about to burst. So, in the long time they had been talking, the Spirit Stone in her left hand had barely changed, showing no sign of spiritual energy loss. Otherwise, it would have long since turned gray and crumbled into a pile of ash.
The beautiful woman in the green gauze was also an old hand in the martial world. After carefully observing Su Hong, she immediately noticed something was wrong. How could she not understand that the other's internal organs had been severely damaged and that she was barely holding on? Now, she probably couldn't even draw out much Spirit Power.
Seeing the other party flying towards her with a charming laugh, Su Hong's heart plunged into an endless abyss. She had been slowly refining the impurities left in her body from absorbing too many Spirit Stones over the past two days. If she had just half a cup of tea's time more, even if she couldn't refine much, she could at least circulate her Spirit Power to make her magical treasure self-destruct. But now, she only had a little Spirit Power left to keep her from falling off the Blue Lightning Hairpin. It was impossible to spare any more Spirit Power to sever her own heart meridian.
A cultivator's body was strong, and their internal organs were tough. Even to commit suicide, one needed a heavy impact on the internal organs. A single light blow could not kill a cultivator. Otherwise, if they could be killed so easily, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
And now, this situation appearing on Su Hong made her feel a sense of self-mockery. It turned out that having too much vitality was not necessarily a good thing. Thinking about what was about to happen, she was so ashamed and angry that she was about to faint. She knew very well what the "Seven Mysteries Yin Sha Art" was.
It was a long-lost Harmonious Union Evil Art. Those who cultivated this technique were all women. They used the method of absorbing yang and plucking yin to increase their own cultivation. Their targets were both men and women. The more vigorous the yang qi or yin qi, the better. And once a person was plundered by this method, they would be lost in it, knowing no shame, until finally, all the yin and yang in their body was empty. Only then would they have a moment of clarity before death. This art was extremely vicious. The creator of this art back then, "Daoist Yue Emei," was a female evil cultivator. She was wild and enchanting. In the end, she actually cultivated this art to the Great Ascension of Nascent Soul. For a time, the cultivation world paled at the mention of her name. It was unknown how many young men and women had died under her art. The "Emei Moon" daoist tradition she founded eventually became the public enemy of the cultivation world. Later, "Daoist Yue Emei" could not be captured even by the joint efforts of several Nascent Soul cultivators. Instead, in the several years of pursuit, two Nascent Soul cultivators fell into her hands, causing her power to soar, breaking through to the late-stage Nascent Soul in one fell swoop. This threw the entire cultivation world into chaos for a time. In the end, a Spirit Transformation cultivator had to intervene. But after being struck by this Spirit Transformation cultivator, "Daoist Yue Emei" actually managed to escape with her life and disappeared without a trace. The "Emei Moon" sect she had established also collapsed, and its disciples scattered and fled, disappearing without a trace.
Just as Su Hong's heart was filled with despair, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear. "Fall down immediately. Do you see a protruding rock on the mountainside that extends out from the cliff? Right there."
This Divine Sense transmission suddenly sounded in Su Hong's mind, making her jolt. But her reaction was also decisive. Her heart was filled with a mixture of surprise and joy. But she had no idea who was hiding nearby, and at a distance of only a few hundred zhang. Seeing that the beautiful woman in the green gauze was also about to arrive in a flash, out of instinct, Su Hong mustered her last bit of strength and quickly fell downwards.
It was already a struggle for her to maintain her body in the air. But if she were to fall, it would naturally be a simple matter. At most, she would just use her residual Spirit Power to make her descent faster. Even in the short process of falling, Su Hong's mind had already thought clearly, 'I don't know if this person is a friend or foe. This person has been silent all this time. He must have heard the conversation between me and the beautiful woman in the green gauze clearly. This person must be interested in the item in my hands. There is another possibility...' Thinking of this, her face was already flushed, and she bit her lower lip, because the person who had just transmitted the message was clearly a man.
But no matter what, one thing was certain. The hidden person's magical power was high, no less than that of the beautiful woman in the green gauze. Otherwise, a Golden Core cultivator would not have failed to discover this person's tracks until now.
When the beautiful woman in the green gauze saw Su Hong fall without any warning, the corners of her mouth curled into a sneer. 'Trying to fall to your death? Dream on!'
She lightly waved her lotus-root-like arm, and a streak of green light shot towards Su Hong's rapidly falling body. The green light was like lightning. In just a flash, it reached below Su Hong's body and was about to wrap her up and pull her back into the sky. But just at this moment, Su Hong's body was suddenly pulled sideways, as if by an invisible suction force, causing the green light to miss completely, only scooping up the wind and snow and sending it soaring upwards.
