--- Chapter 125 ---
Everyone in the Central Plains could feel the brewing storm in the atmosphere. It all started with the sudden appearance of a miraculous alchemy pill that could completely heal one's soul.
They aren't dumb. Such a powerful pill could only be peak 8 Tier Pill or even Tier 9 Pill, but who was foolish enough to auction peak Tier 9 Pill to the public?
If powerful factions have it, they will keep such treasure under a heavily protected area. Heck, they might even keep it safe as a family heirloom.
And since the Heavenly Gathering Clan didn't know the origin of the Soul-Recovering Medicine Pill, people believed someone wanted to stir problems in the Central Plains.
The problem is they didn't know who that person was.
At Heavenly Gathering Clan, the Clan Master entered a quick meeting with several elders. They sat down around an oval wood table and looked at each other bitterly.
Even though all of them were Dou Venerate Experts, someone actually pulled strings from the shadow and used them. A bitter smile endorsed their wrinkled faces.
The Clan's Master, Qin Wuxe, looked at his fellow clanmates and calmly said, "We got played by this person."
The elders sighed when hearing this statement.
"Even if we relocate the medicine to Heavenly Slaying Sect, our situation won't be that different." Someone blurted sarcastically. "In this situation, the auction is our only way to survive."
"We are the host. The Eight Ancient Clans and other Factions won't be quiet, but they wouldn't be unreasonable, right?" Another elder added.
Qin Wuke nodded and returned, "Yeah... Even though the Hall of Souls and Hun Clan were pressuring us, other Factions wouldn't let them mess this event around."
"Hall of Souls pretty much hated among the Human, Beast Tribes, and Demonic Factions."
"This auction also could be a chance for us. Heavenly Gathering Clan has been under the control of the Heaven Slaying Sect for five hundred years, and with the result of this action, we can increase our strength."
The elders caught what their Clan Master meant.
Rewards lie behind danger.
There is no such thing as smooth sailing in cultivation.
They might not be able to enter the top ten, but the top twenty should be possible if the Heavenly Gathering Clan survives this auction. That is their hope.
Powerhouses started to appear in the territory of the Heavenly Gathering Clan. They are well-received and escorted to the glamorous pavilion, an inn, and an auction house.
At first, the Eight Ancient Clans appeared. Then One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions. They are the main power of the Central Plains.

The people from Demonic Factions also appeared, mainly from three Great Demonic Sects.
"OCEAN DESTRUCTION FORMATION!" Gu Mian activated his bloodline power and unleashed a powerful formation, shaking the sky and ground.
SWOOOOOOOOSH!
"This is bad! How could he possess such a power?"
"He's insane... To sacrifice one's bloodline like this."
"Everyone, retreat!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
An explosion swept the seaside, and a massive shockwave followed shortly after.
As the dust and smoke cleared, they could see a youth in a black robe suddenly appear and steal the medicine from Gu Mian's spatial ring.
They are infuriated.
"CATCH THAT BRAT!"
"KILL HIM!!"
The youth in the black robe panicked, but a mysterious female ghost abruptly manifested from thin air, creating a powerful barrier. The barrier is strong enough to deflect any incoming attacks.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Everyone was shocked.
Such a powerful barrier.
"T-That woman is DOU SAINT!"
Winds blew over the seaside and pulled the robe away from the youth's head, revealing his face. No one recognized him besides Gu Clan's representatives and Baek Ain's Fire Shadow Envoys.
"X-Xiao Yan?!" A confused shout came from an elder from Gu Clan as he knew the youth. After all, he was one of the people who agreed on the plan of sending Gu Xun'er to the barren Jia Ma Empire.
"What are you doing here?"
"That medicine, hand it over here."
Xiao Yan maintained a calm expression and smiled, "Sorry, Seniors. I need this medicine to heal someone."
"Thanks for purchasing it for me."
Cough!
"Y-You-!" The elder coughed a mouthful of blood. He was angry beyond belief.
Xiao Yan looked at other people in the area and continued, "Then, Seniors. See you guys later."
The mysterious female ghost flicked her fingers and created a Wormhole, letting Xiao Yan run. But how could they allow these two to run away?
"CHASE HIM! EVERYONE, ATTACK!"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Another chain of attacks fell onto Xiao Yan and Gu Clan's representatives, drowning them in countless Dou Techniques.
The Gu Clan's representatives are miserable.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan successfully ran away with the help of his mysterious female ghost.
"DAMN IT! THAT DAMNED BRAT!"
"PUT BRAT'S BOUNTY ALL OVER THE DOU QI CONTINENT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!"
"BRING ME THAT BRAT NAME XIAO YAN!!!"
"I DON'T CARE IF HE WAS ALIVE OR NOT!!!"
Baek Ain's Fire Shadow Envoys slowly dispersed and threw some parasite spawns on Gu Clan's representatives. They are injured but haven't died yet. Baek Ain could use them later.
After that, all the Fire Shadow Envoys silently burst into white smoke.
Sitting on the back of Beast Tribe's Elder Xue Rongrong, Baek Ain smirked and commented, "The fish has taken the bait. The mission has succeeded."
"Dou Saint, huh?" Baek Ain tilted his head, recalling the power of Xiao Yan's helper. "Well, everything is still going according to my plan."
"One year should be enough."
"Enough for what?" A voice comes from behind. It was Lan Rou.
Lan Rou sat beside Baek Ain, brushing Cai Lin's hair, who was napping on her lap pillows.
Baek Ain smiled and answered, "To become a Dou Saint."
