For the auction house owners, this was not the end of it.
The Taoist Master Wuwei leisurely walked to the two piles of spirit stones beside him and said to them:
"These most numerous and most precious treasures were all found by Ninghua Sect. I made the right bet. I'll take the spirit stones back ahead of schedule. Do you all have any objections?"
Although the treasure hunt is not over yet, who else can surpass Shen Sangri and find these treasures?
The single Living Tea Tree is something that all other treasures combined cannot surpass.
The auction house owners twitched their lips, but they couldn't say anything. They could only force a smile and say to Wuwei Daoist, "Sect Master Wuwei, please go ahead."
Who would have thought that the old man would win the whole pile of spirit stones with just one spirit stone? It was truly heartbreaking to see.
There's nothing we can do; the disciples of that sect are just as capable.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Daoist Wuwei chuckled and put all the spirit stones into his storage bag, feeling extremely pleased.
Immortal Lord Changli strode toward Pavilion Master Ziwei. "Pavilion Master Ziwei, do you have a way to send messages? I wish to have my little disciple and the disciples of Ninghua Sect return ahead of schedule."
Ye Huai and the other three: Master, aren't we your disciples?
"They have found enough treasures, and after so many days, they are tired. It's time for them to come back and rest."
The Pavilion Master of Ziwei Pavilion forced a smile, "Of course."
He raised his hand and injected a special spiritual power into the crystal connecting to the teleportation artifact. The threads meandered out, but their color was different from before.
"Once the silk thread connects to the teleportation artifact, the words 'Return Trip' will appear on it. Once the disciples of Ninghua Sect see this, they will set off."
Immortal Lord Changli nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you."
His gaze fell on the extending silk threads, and he felt particularly pleased at the thought that his little apprentice and several other apprentices would be returning soon.
However, the thread connecting Chen Sangruo's magical artifact, which he was following, suddenly broke in the next moment, as if it had lost its connection with the teleportation artifact and stopped extending forward.
And it disappears rapidly from the end until it is completely gone, leaving no trace!
No one expected this sudden turn of events.
Immortal Lord Changli's pupils contracted, and his smile froze on his lips.
A broken thread signifies that something has happened to Shen Sangruo.
Given her strength, the fact that even a late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast couldn't harm her meant that she was facing an even more terrifying crisis.
The Taoist Wuwei over there also had the same expression after thinking about the possible accident that might happen to Shen Sangruo.
The two of them looked at the Pavilion Master of Ziwei Pavilion with cold and terrifying eyes.
Both Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren looked at the Ziwei Pavilion Master.
Their daughter/apprentice must not be harmed!
"What's going on? Didn't you say there was no danger in the Starry Plains?!" Immortal Lord Changli lowered his voice and clenched his fists to suppress the anger in his heart.
The Master of Ziwei Pavilion was also taken aback by this incident and stood there stunned, unsure of how to explain it.
Shen Sangruo's importance to these two sects is self-evident. If something were to really happen to him, these people in front of him would probably tear him apart alive!
"Sect Master Ziwei, you had better give me an explanation for this matter." Lingxiao Zhenren's tone was chillingly cold. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Shen Daochen remained indifferent, not denying Lingxiao Zhenren's words.
Even though the Ziwei Pavilion Master is a partner of the Feiyun Sect, he will not let Shen Sang off easily if something happens to him!
Faced with their questions, the Pavilion Master of Ziwei Pavilion panicked and stammered, "This... I... I don't know what happened."
“Our people have explored Star Plains, and there is indeed no danger…” His voice trailed off, his guilt visibly evident. “If you don’t believe me, ask the other pavilion masters.”
His sharp gaze swept over the other pavilion masters, who all felt a chill run down their spines.
Yes, yes.
"I'll ask one last time, is there any danger in the Starry Plains? Don't force me to take action against you." Immortal Lord Changli's eyes hardened, and his voice was threatening.
This time, the leaders finally told the truth: "No, we don't know."
People from other sects realized the seriousness of the situation and also gathered around.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Daoist Wuwei's face was serious, and his tone was angry. "Several sects and dozens of disciples, we believed you and thought there was no danger in the Starry Plains, so we let them in without worry. And now you say you don't know?"
Mingxi also stepped forward and said coldly, "Sect Master Ziwei, I remember you were very certain that there was no danger in Xingchen Plain, right?"
Even Shen Sangruo, the strongest disciple, was in danger. For the others, it was like a knife hanging over their heads, with danger looming at any moment.
"We found that part of the area was indeed safe, but we didn't know about the rest... We never expected such an accident to happen..." The Ziwei Pavilion Master's voice was now barely audible, a far cry from his previous certainty.
"How big is a part of the area?" Immortal Lord Changli pressed.
"About twenty miles ahead..."
"How vast is the Star Plain? You've only explored twenty miles, yet you've concluded that the entire Star Plain is safe?" Immortal Lord Changli's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"The most urgent task is to rescue Fellow Daoist Sang Ruo," Li Qingwen quickly interrupted.
Only one person from Linglong Pavilion entered Xingchen Plain, and the area they searched was limited. They assumed that the people from other auction houses had actually searched all the other areas.
He should have realized this sooner; Linglong Pavilion also bears a significant responsibility for this matter.
"You'd better pray that my disciple comes out safely, otherwise..." Immortal Lord Changli glanced at the several pavilion masters one by one, then turned and walked towards the barrier.
People from several sects also walked towards the barrier.
A member of the treasure-hunting team who was able to pass through the barrier has already tried, but even he can't pass through it.
The fact that the barrier was completely sealed off further suggests that something very likely happened to Shen Sangruo.
The Taoist Master Wuwei asked anxiously, "Changli, what should we do about this?"
"If the barrier is blocking my way, then I will break it!" Immortal Lord Changli's tone was fierce, but a trace of worry was hidden in his eyes.
"Immortal Lord Changli, we are here to help you." Mingxi, Jiang Wensheng, and others, along with the sect elders, stepped forward. "Our disciples are still inside the barrier; this barrier must be broken!"
Even Lingxiao Zhenren stood beside Changli Xianjun, preparing to join forces with him.
At this moment, rescuing Shen Sangruo and the other disciples in Xingchenyuan is the most important thing.
The barrier was strange; joining forces was their best option.
The group quickly rallied together, preparing to break the barrier.
Meanwhile, at this very moment, within the Starry Plains.
Shen Sangruo and the snake woman were in a dark, empty space, filled with vigilance.
A quarter of an hour ago, she was riding a snail cart, heading out of the barrier.
Suddenly, a black mist appeared before her eyes, and she immediately realized that it was demonic energy.
Before she could react, the dense demonic energy had already enveloped and shrouded her.
