Chapter 293: Wu Laoda’s Speculation
Soon, Ji Yang returned to the inn.
Ren Yuning, on the other hand, was staying somewhere else.
After getting back to the inn, Ji Yang reflected on the scenes witnessed by the primordial spirit phantom earlier.
First of all, he could confirm that Wu Laoda was quite honest and had no ulterior motives.
However, while the primordial spirit phantom roamed through Heaven Demon City, Ji Yang noticed that the number of high-level cultivators in the city had been increasing over the past couple of days, including some who made Ji Yang feel threatened.
It seemed that this auction was indeed significant, which made Ji Yang feel more cautious. The levels of the outside cultivators were not low, so it was easy to imagine that the cultivators stationed by the Heaven Demon Sect wouldn’t be too weak either.
If he were to be exposed, those powerful cultivators could very likely take action themselves because of their close proximity.
But regardless, Ji Yang could only wait until after the auction to act.
Currently, everyone was heading into the city, and if he went against that trend, he would certainly face questioning, which would increase his risk.
According to the information Ji Yang gathered, the auction would take place the day after tomorrow, in the most bustling area of Heaven Demon City, where the Heaven Demon Pavilion was located.
As the biggest auction in the city, gaining entry would not be easy—not only would one need identification, but sufficient assets as well.
However, Ji Yang didn’t plan to participate in the auction since Wu Laoda would likely take action. Perhaps he could find a way to leave the city when the auction began.
After clarifying his plan, Ji Yang opened the storage ring he had just obtained and examined its contents, clicking his tongue as he said,
"Not a bad deal!"
……
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Early the next morning, a knocking sound came from outside the inn.
Ji Yang opened his eyes, spread his primordial spirit, and his gaze grew focused.
Clearly, the visitor was none other than Ren Yuning.
This disrupted Ji Yang’s original plans; he had intended to check the situation at each city gate in Heaven Demon City today to prepare for his plans.
But now that Ren Yuning had arrived, things clearly wouldn’t go as he wanted.
"Feng Yu, let’s go! We’re going to explore other places today."
"Senior Sister Ning, please wait! I’ll be right there!"
Ji Yang got up, tidied his appearance, checked to ensure he looked fine, and then opened the door.
He was greeted by a smiling Ren Yuning.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, Ji Yang could only accompany her for the sake of the storage ring in his hand.
However, Ji Yang did not plan to come out empty-handed; today he could be a bit bolder. After all, he hadn’t noticed any resistance from Ren Yuning yesterday, and she possessed a lot of valuable items he could still take advantage of.
He thought of it as collecting interest.
"Senior Sister Ning, let’s go!"
……
On the other side, Wu Laoda returned to his residence and checked the items he had purchased over the past couple of days, then shook his head.
Although he had already visited many shops, he didn’t have much luck finding spiritual grains and high-level spiritual plant seeds, so his gains were limited.
It seemed he would have to wait for the upcoming auction to acquire what he needed.
He had already converted all the top-quality spiritual grains in his storage bag into spiritual stones.
Spiritual stones acted as hard currency in the Cultivation World and could be used anywhere, and spiritual grains were no exception. After all, there would always be low-level cultivators in need of these items.
Moreover, high-level spiritual grains were in even greater demand, so the amount of spiritual stones he converted reached an astonishing number—wealth he could never hope to attain in his lifetime!
At this moment, Wu Laoda felt a strong urge but quickly calmed down when he thought of Ji Yang.
Soon, Wu Laoda planned to change his appearance and identity to sneak into the auction.
After all, this auction would be attended by many dubious characters, and the factions involved were complex, with cultivators from different sects present. It would be wise to stay cautious.
The main concern was that the person he was currently helping wasn’t a normal cultivator but rather a wanted criminal from the Heaven Demon Sect. Wu Laoda didn’t want to appear connected to Ji Yang in public.
Just as Wu Laoda was about to change his look, he suddenly recalled the female cultivator he had seen beside Ji Yang on the street yesterday.
Initially, he only found her somewhat familiar, but after a night of thought, it seemed he had pieced things together.
Wu Laoda quickly pulled out a handwritten book from his storage bag.
This book didn’t contain any techniques or secret arts but rather pages with images and character introductions.
He had gathered this information from various sources, which included many Demonic Sect cultivators and recent events that occurred near Heaven Demon City, and even some related to righteous sects.
Flipping through the book, he soon came across a familiar face.
Though it was just a simple sketch, it depicted her vividly.
Seeing that the woman in the image matched the one he had encountered yesterday, Wu Laoda’s eyes lit up with excitement.
He had found her!
Wu Laoda quickly looked at the introduction behind the image.
Although he had compiled this book himself, it contained so much information that he couldn’t recall everything all at once.
As he read word by word, the calmness in his eyes began to ripple with surprise.
Ren Yuning, now the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Sect, daughter of Ren Ziran!
Incredibly gifted, strength unknown!
Hiss!
After discovering the identity of the female cultivator who had been beside Ji Yang yesterday, Wu Laoda gasped in shock.
He had never expected that the person next to Ji Yang was the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Sect! And the daughter of the Sect Master!
What had seemed like a straightforward wanted notice became exceptionally unusual upon learning her identity.
How could Ren Yuning, as the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Sect, be seen laughing and talking with a wanted criminal?
This defied logic!
The story behind this couldn’t help but make one ponder.
At that moment, Wu Laoda couldn’t help but imagine a love story between a talented young man and the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.
One day, Ji Yang inadvertently fell in love with the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Sect, and the two eventually became inseparable?
But when their identities were revealed, due to the opposing forces of righteous and demonic, they had to part ways!
Both being favored children of heaven, how could they submit? Instead, they secretly communicated and agreed to leave their sects together, forever entwined!
When the Sect Master of the Heaven Demon Sect learned of this situation, he naturally would not allow it, especially since Ji Yang belonged to the He Dao Sect. So he sent people to apprehend Ji Yang and retrieve Ren Yuning.
Thinking back on what he saw yesterday, everything seemed to align perfectly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Wu Laoda exclaimed in amazement but quickly recalled the flaw in his earlier idea.
If that were truly the case, how could they both strut around Heaven Demon City so openly? How could they dare to stroll in broad daylight?
However, the clever Wu Laoda quickly considered other reasons.
As the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Sect, having been in the sect for many years, she surely had close allies or caring elders who would support this union.
Thinking along these lines, it no longer seemed surprising that they could move freely in Heaven Demon City.
It was no wonder Ji Yang asked for his help in purchasing these items; it appeared he was planning to find a place with Ren Yuning to leave this place behind and live a quiet rural life. Otherwise, why would he need so many spiritual grains and seeds?
The more Wu Laoda thought, the more he felt his speculation was correct!
