As the fairy of wondrous flowers on the stage spoke one after another, more than a hundred auction items had been successfully sold.
However, Gu Changqing, inside the side room, did not find anything suitable for herself.
Meanwhile, the sky gradually darkened.
Is it already night?
Gu Changqing stopped cultivating, raised his head slightly, and murmured to himself.
Hearing Gu Changqing's words, Xu Sheng asked in confusion:
"What's wrong, Holy Son? Is there something you need to do tonight? This auction will last for several more days."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changting shook his head slightly, then turned to Gu Nan beside him and smiled slightly:
"Sister Gu Nan, may we go outside the tower for a chat?"
Gu Nan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and replied with a slightly flushed face:
"His Highness the Holy Son has the final say."
Gu Changqing stood up and led Gu Nan towards the door. Just as Xu Sheng was wondering why Gu Changqing did this, Gu Changqing's voice reached his ears.
"Xu Sheng, you come over here too, and while you're at it, take care of the unrelated people."
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng looked at the two maids, who had also heard Gu Changqing say to deal with unrelated people.
Although both of them possessed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, the auction house had placed a contract on them from birth, rendering them unable to resist any of the auction house's guests.
Xu Sheng ended their lives painlessly with just two simple sword strikes.
He then quickly walked towards Gu Changqing and the other person who were on the stairs, and slowly followed behind them.
"Holy Son, have you remembered who I am?"
Gu Nan looked at Gu Changqing, who was walking beside her, and asked.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said, "Just call me Changqing. You'll know when we get outside the tower."
After saying that, he stopped talking, while Xu Sheng listened to these inexplicable words from behind, but dared not question the Holy Son.
Once they reached the first floor, ignoring the envious and jealous looks from the rogue cultivators, Gu Changqing and his companions headed straight for the outside of the tower.
The Fairy of Wonderful Flowers glanced at Gu Changqing, but since the auction was still ongoing, she stopped looking.
Once outside the tower, Gu Changqing looked at the Nascent Soul Guards waiting nearby and gave them orders.
"Xu Sheng has betrayed his sect and joined the enemy sect. I, the Holy Son Wuxin, have ordered you to eliminate this traitor. Afterwards, go to the mansion to collect your reward."
One of the guards was puzzled when he heard Gu Changqing's order, wondering why the Holy Son would kill his own disciple.
"But Your Highness, Lord Xu Sheng is..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, the captain of the guard had already killed him with a single sword stroke, and then said:
"Xu Sheng, a direct disciple of the Luoxia Sect, has betrayed the sect. Now, in the name of the Holy Son, Xu Sheng will be beheaded at the Wenxin Mountain auction."
He then led a group of guards to attack Xu Sheng, who was both puzzled and furious at the sight of Gu Changqing's actions.
"Gu Changqing! Why are you like this? I tried so hard to please you... Ah!"
However, before he could finish speaking, the guards cut him down with their swords. Even though he was a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, he was no match for the attacks of more than a dozen Nascent Soul guards.
Gu Nan, standing to the side, simply stood there, speechless for a moment.
Just then, a team of law enforcement officers from Wenxin Mountain, led by an elder who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, arrived at the scene.
The leading Nascent Soul elder looked at Gu Changqing and, noticing he was wearing the robes of a Holy Son of the Falling Clouds Sect, respectfully asked:
"Are you the Heartless Holy Son of the Falling Clouds Sect? I sensed the battle fluctuations between cultivators here, so I rushed over. Holy Son, are you injured?"
After saying that, he casually glanced at Xu Sheng, who was lying in a pool of blood.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Gu Changting casually replied:
“Indeed, I was Wuxin. This man betrayed the sect and dared to plot against me. I have already killed him on the spot.”
Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul elder smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, since the Holy Son is unharmed, we will take our leave now."
After saying this, he led the enforcement team away in a hurry, as they did not want to, or rather dared not, get involved in anything related to the holy sons of the ten major sects.
As for why Wenxin Mountain cannot intervene? That was decided by the ten major sects.
As Gu Changqing watched the departing enforcement team, he casually tossed out a spell, turning Xu Sheng's corpse into dust.
He then looked at the guards and said, "You did a good job. Go back to the mansion and wait for your reward."
With the departure of the guards, only Gu Changqing and Gu Nan remained at the scene.
Gu Nan simply spoke silently:
"Changqing, has Senior Brother Xu Sheng really betrayed the sect?"
Gu Changqing, however, let out a cold laugh:
"Of course, this person is extremely wicked and should be executed on the spot."
Gu Nan, however, seemed not to believe it and asked Gu Changqing with a sad expression, "Brother Changqing, I know Senior Brother Xu. He may be a little unorthodox, but he would never abandon the sect and join the enemy."
Gu Changqing shook her head slightly, offering no reply.
Domain Expansion
In an instant, Gu Changqing and Gu Nan entered this space.
Looking at the dazzling stream of light flowing around him, Gu Nan understood everything.
“Brother Changqing, your target is me, isn’t it? As for Senior Brother Xu Sheng, he just happened to be on the same path as me. I’m the one who killed him.”
Gu Nan looked at Gu Changqing with a dejected expression.
Gu Changqing merely sneered as he looked at Gu Nan's sorrowful expression.
"Yes, killing him was just because he was unlucky. I wonder if you, sister, would like to give up resisting?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan could only manage a bitter smile.
“Brother Changqing, kill me if you want. If it helps your cultivation, then I will have no regrets.”
