An hour later, the auction ended, and everyone dispersed.

Ling Xumei whispered, "Be careful of that old monster Wei; he might be looking for trouble."

This was no longer just about Wei Tianci offending Wei Laoguai by fighting over the Reverse Scale; it was because Wei Laoguai knew that in addition to the Reverse Scale, Wei Tianci also possessed various other elixirs, such as the King-grade Rejuvenation Pill.

Given his greed, he will definitely make a move!

Wei Tianci smiled faintly: "Old Wei is our touchstone. We'll use him to test what Helena and the others think of us."

"Are they treating us as dispensable pawns, or as true treasure-hunting partners?"

Ling Xumei nodded slightly as he listened.

Afterwards, Wei Tianci and Ling Xumei left the auction venue as if nothing had happened, and strolled leisurely towards the inn, seemingly not taking the auction incident to heart at all.

"You two seem to be truly fearless of death?"

As the sound rang out, Wei Laoguai and two other female cultivators descended in front of Wei Tianci and Ling Xumei.

Old Wei was a tall, thin man with a sinister face and a very cold and ruthless demeanor. He was clearly a vicious person.

On his left and right were two young women, both with excellent looks and figures, and both with strength within the Golden Core stage.

"You don't actually think that our relationship is over and done with, do you?"

Old Wei squinted at Wei Tianci.

"What, you want me to kill you before you're satisfied?"

Wei Tianci smiled slightly.

"Good lad, you're arrogant enough! Too bad, all you have is a temper and no skills, it's utterly useless."

"Boy, hand over your Achilles' heel and all the pills you have, and I'll give you a chance to live a barely surviving life!"

Old Wei looked at Wei Tianci with gleaming eyes, like a greedy viper eyeing its prey.

Wei Tianci said calmly, "Even if I agree, I'm afraid my friends won't. What do you suggest we do then?"

"Oh? You have friends? Then call them out. I want to see who's willing to die with you!"

Old Wei looked at Wei Tianci with disdain.

The two young women beside him also looked at Wei Tianci and Ling Xumei with disdain. They were ignorant of their own limitations and offended Wei Tianci in Africa. They were simply courting death!

"Yeah."

A clear, cool female voice rang out softly, its tone carrying a sense of superiority, as if an emperor were addressing a mortal.

Old Monster Wei's expression changed drastically, and he stared wide-eyed at the void.

Four figures descended from the sky, each possessing an aura superior to that of Old Monster Wei, with the auras of two of them even being unfathomable!

Old Monster Wei stared in disbelief at Helena, who was wearing a yellow robe, a look of fear flashing in his eyes. He recognized her identity!

Even though Wei Laoguai was already a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, this goddess-like woman could still exert immense pressure on him.

It's obvious that this is the legendary woman, the Temple Master, Helena!

When Helena and the others landed, Old Monster Wei stood frozen, staring at them dumbfounded.

When Helena's captivating gaze fell upon Old Monster Wei, he lowered his head in fear and said in trepidation, "Greetings, Palace Master Helena."

He then looked at Wei Tianci and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace: "Young friend, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I was blind, I didn't recognize you in person."

"Young friend, please give me a chance, I was really wrong."

He immediately raised his hand and slapped himself across the face. The sound of the slap echoed, and his cheek instantly became red and swollen.

Under Wei Tianci's stunned gaze, Old Monster Wei struck himself with both hands, slapping his own head until it looked like a pig's head.

Wei Tianci was speechless. This guy was a typical bully who preyed on the weak. Even at such a high level, he was still so shameless.

Wei Tianci waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost!"

Old Wei immediately said, "Thank you, thank you, I'll leave, I'll leave, I'll leave right now."

"Thank you, young friend. Thank you, Palace Master Helen."

He fell to the ground in full view of everyone, then rolled away on the spot, disappearing into the distance amidst everyone's astonished gazes.
