Chapter 688: Auction Success

As this voice fell, the Grand Elder's brow furrowed noticeably. The auction rules did not allow revealing guests' information; otherwise, what face would their alliance have?

Moreover, this woman was a Sovereign-level expert, no weaker than himself, which put him in a difficult position.

"Senior, do you know this woman's identity?" Seeing his troubled expression, Yang Tian's respect for the Grand Elder's character rose a notch, and he suddenly smiled.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder stroked his beard and said, "I do not know. Her identity is very mysterious; she suddenly appeared in Alchemy City."

"As expected!" A glint of sharpness appeared in his eyes. It seemed that when she took out the divine stone earlier, the Grand Elder had investigated her identity.

"This woman is a member of the Demon Clan!" At this moment, Yang Tian lowered his voice and said.

"What?!" The Grand Elder instantly stood up, his eyes nearly popping out, his face full of disbelief.

"Young friend, you cannot speak carelessly!" The Grand Elder, still not recovered from the shock, said hastily.

Matters of the Demon Clan were too sensitive. In the past, at the Alchemy Valley, a Demon Clan powerhouse had come, and only the White-Robed Sovereign intervened to suppress the demon lair, averting a great calamity!

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Seeing their strange expressions, Little Tingting asked in surprise.

"Tingting, go out first. I have matters to discuss with this senior." At this moment, Yang Tian rubbed Little Tingting's head and smiled.

"Yes, Tingting, go play outside." The Grand Elder also nodded and said.

"Oh..." Seeing their solemn expressions, Tingting obediently nodded her little head and hopped out.

Sitting down, Yang Tian said, "The Demon Clan caused chaos on the continent since ancient times, and they have been searching the continent for divine blood and divine bodies. I feel more at ease with Little Tingting here with you."

Frowning, the Grand Elder also knew these matters. At this moment, he spoke, "Young friend, speak frankly. If she is truly a member of the Demon Clan, regardless of the transaction, I must help!"

A surge of respect rose in Yang Tian's heart. He slowly said, "Do you know why the Demon Clan seeks these divine bloods and divine bodies?"

"I do not know. I am willing to hear the details." Stroking his beard, the Grand Elder sighed, "But recently, our alliance lost a genius disciple. He had divine blood flowing in him and was a half-divine body!"

"Have you heard of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art?" Clenching his fist, Yang Tian said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder rubbed his chin. He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed, "What did you say... the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art..."

This was a divine art even more terrifying than the Reincarnation Divine Art, capable of devouring a person's origin and cultivating supreme divine powers.

It was an extremely evil technique, but highly efficient. A person's Wheel Sea involved the most important secret realm below the divine position, and it was said to be related to the divine!

"To be honest, my loved one had her origin dug out by this woman!" At this moment, the scene from that day vividly appeared before him, and he exuded a terrifying killing light.

As this wisp of killing light seeped out, a hint of surprise appeared in the Grand Elder's eyes. He murmured, "This child's killing intent is immense."

"The Wheel Sea Divine Art within the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art can devour a person's origin, even transplant the origin of a divine body into oneself."

Sighing, Yang Tian's hand appeared a light mass crackling with countless thunderbolts, flowing with terrifying divine radiance.

"This..." The Grand Elder's gaze was instantly drawn. He looked at the light mass in Yang Tian's hand, within which divine brilliance flowed.

"This is the origin of a Thunder God Body. I once killed the Ninth Divine Son of the Demon Clan!" Clenching his fist, Yang Tian said calmly.

"The person is dead, but the origin is not extinguished!" The Grand Elder was astonished. He looked at Yang Tian with a shocked gaze and said, "Young friend, your boldness is astounding. I admit inferiority. I have also heard of the Demon Clan's divine sons; each one can rival the prodigies of the human race!"

He was now mostly convinced. If not for the marvelous use of the Wheel Sea Divine Art, this origin would have dissipated long ago.

"This Heavenly Dao Alliance is just a den of the Demon Clan!" At this moment, Yang Tian dropped another bombshell.

The Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Alchemy Dao Alliance were at odds; Yang Tian had long heard of this. Moreover, Yang Tian had once sworn to exterminate the Demon Clan!

Bang! The Grand Elder, unusually, did not question it. The table under his hand was smashed to pieces. He roared angrily, "I long suspected these people were sneaky, cultivating as easily as drinking water. They are indeed members of the Demon Clan!"

"The disciple from your alliance might have been captured by the Heavenly Dao Alliance." Yang Tian clenched his fist and said, "Senior, I entrust Little Tingting to you. Please ensure nothing happens to her..."

"Rest assured, young friend. I will send Tingting to the clan immediately." Nodding, the Grand Elder said.

"Now, senior, can you tell me where she is staying?" At this moment, Yang Tian smiled.

"Heh, coincidentally, she is cultivating on the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower..." Stroking his beard, the Grand Elder said.

"The seventh floor." Hearing this, Yang Tian frowned. "Xiao Xiao and her brother are both divine bodies. Could this woman be after them?"

The Grand Elder's face changed instantly, his beard standing on end. If that were true, and the Alchemy Valley lost two divine bodies, their Alchemy Dao Alliance would lose immense face.

"It seems this old man is quite upright." Yang Tian had been observing the Grand Elder's changes and laughed inwardly.

Adjusting his sleeves, the Grand Elder said, "Let's set this matter aside for now. There's a crowd outside waiting. Young friend, what else do you need?"

"What I need, you should have: three Soul-Merging Flowers, each over ten thousand years old. Also, tell me the location of the scripture. That's all."

The price Yang Tian named surprised the Grand Elder. He had thought this young man would ask for a lot, but he only needed this much.

"To be honest, the Reincarnation Divine Art lacks the final secret realm, which concerns the divine position, so I didn't dare ask for more." Seeing the Grand Elder's thoughts, Yang Tian smiled.

"Young friend is a true gentleman." The Grand Elder didn't mind. The continent had not seen a divine-position powerhouse for eons. Obtaining the Reincarnation Divine Art was already a great fortune.

At this moment, a jade slip appeared in Yang Tian's hand. He smiled, "The techniques within contain limited origin divine power. Do not forcefully comprehend them, or you will suffer backlash."

The Grand Elder quickly took the jade slip. His divine sense scanned it for a moment, and he was filled with excitement. He said, "This iron block was obtained from the Great Wasteland. I don't know the exact location."

"The Great Wasteland." A glint of gold flashed in his eyes. Yang Tian nodded.

"As for the Soul-Merging Flowers, I'm not sure if I can gather three. There is one in this auction. I will have it sent over immediately." The Grand Elder stood up.

"Senior, do not let anyone know that I told you this today, and do not reveal too much. Do not alert that mysterious woman."

"Alright, I understand." Nodding, the Grand Elder smiled, but his smile was somewhat cold.

If the Demon Clan could establish forces on the continent, then their Alchemy Dao Alliance likely had hidden Demon Clan members. If they couldn't even catch the hidden Demon Clan members in their own alliance, they might as well go and die.

"Then you'll know the truth when the time comes." Slowly closing his eyes, Yang Tian said calmly, "I wonder how many Demon Clan members are hidden within your alliance."

Outside, a full half hour passed, and many grew impatient. No matter how beautiful a woman was, could she compare to treasures? Of course, that was for most people.

In a certain private room on the fourth floor, the atmosphere was terrifying, with surging anger. As the supreme woman of the Demon Clan, being left aside was unacceptable to her pride.

"This auction goes to the young master just now." At this moment, Dan Li walked up and said calmly.

"Bastard!" A furious roar echoed through the hall, causing the entire space and treasures to tremble, and many were shaken until their ears rang.

"Friend, your temper is too great." At this moment, a deep voice came from the void. Regardless of whether she was a Demon Clan member, few dared to cause trouble at the auction.

"Alchemy Dao Alliance, very good!" An icy voice, with undisguised threat, echoed repeatedly throughout the auction hall.
