"No way. Looking at his posture, do you really think that he can beat the strong men in the foundation building stage?"
"Why are you pretending to settle the accounts together? Boy, please don't kneel down crying and begging for mercy!"
"Little casual cultivator, you are quite capable of provoking so many strong men in the foundation building stage at once!"
Amid the jeers from all directions, a cry of exclamation resounded.
"No, didn't he get an ancient sword through bidding? But not only did he not have the ancient sword, he didn't bring anything with him."
Following the exclamation, everyone looked in Su Li's direction.
I saw Su Li standing in front of everyone in plain clothes. Not to mention the auction item he got at the Eternal Immortal Palace that day, he didn't even bring any luggage!
Some people even walked around Su Li but found no clue.
"Could he have stored the things in the inn?"
"It's impossible. Our informant has already asked the inn. Su Li has taken all the luggage away."
"Then will he give the things to the Yu family?"
Doubts arose everywhere, and everyone started talking around the lonely Su Li.
Guo Wei looked Su Li up and down, and finally fixed his gaze on the ring worn on Su Li's left hand. The dark green gemstone inlaid on the ring made him feel like he had seen it before.
After a moment, Guo Wei's pupils shrank, his eyes widened, and he looked at Su Li in disbelief.
As a casual cultivator, he has been wandering around for more than decades, and he has seen similar looking rings on the black market.
"That's...a storage ring!"
As soon as they heard the word "storage ring", everyone shifted their gazes, their eyes wandered, and they found the gemstone ring worn on Su Li's left hand.
Following Guo Wei's reaction, Jiang Ruifeng also widened his eyes and fixed his gaze on Su Li's gemstone ring.
"A storage ring is really a storage ring!"
"How could he have such a treasure as a storage ring!"
The whole place was in an uproar, and there were exclamations everywhere.
The storage ring is a rare treasure that exists in the world. It contains the power of space and time beyond the scope of the earth. The price on the black market can even reach hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones!
With the passage of time, storage rings have become a valuable and intangible existence, and are only owned by a few top mysterious bosses in the world.
Such a priceless treasure is actually in the hands of this ordinary-looking young man!
A greedy look reflected from the eyes of several foundation-building powerhouses. In addition to the preciousness of their own value, the storage items can also show their distinguished status.
"Dad, it seems that he has stored all his belongings in this storage ring."
After hearing Gu Qing's words, Gu Yue's face darkened, and she looked at Su Li in front of her, with the fire of desire burning in her heart.
The fists in the robe were clenched tightly, thinking to himself.
Once the Gu family can possess such a treasure, their status in the hidden family of cultivators can be raised to a higher level in the future.
The appearance of the storage ring puts a huge temptation in front of everyone.
With interests now at hand, all the masters who had shared the same enemy before now have their own hidden agendas.
Su Li looked around, looking at the group of so-called strong men who were obsessed with profit, and twitched the corners of his mouth into a sneer.
Jiang Taigong, the head of the Jiang family who had always kept silent, after the storage ring appeared.
With eyes wide open, he raised his right hand and waved it towards the sky, shouting with high morale.
"Everyone, this kid doesn't take us seriously, we must not let him go!"
"Today, we want to take back what is rightfully ours!"
Under the leadership of Jiang Taigong, various aristocratic families and sects began to echo and appeal.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
...
The crowd shouted deafening slogans, and the whole forest was shocked.
Birds of prey flew out from the lush trees and emitted several impassioned chirps, as if to give vocal support to the imminent battlefield.
All the sects of the various aristocratic families reached a unified offensive and surrounded Su Li in an encirclement pattern.
Under the slogans, footsteps moved forward in unison, and the encirclement gradually narrowed.
Everyone looked at Su Li, who was alone and frail in the encirclement, like a turtle in a urn or a fish in a pond!
Death is a foregone conclusion!
Just when the tension was at stake, a crisp voice sounded from one side, interrupting everyone's forward movement.
"stop!"
"Who dares to touch him!"
Qingyun was wearing a silk gauze skirt, with her flowing hair flying behind her.
With a light leap, he leaped into the encirclement, stood in front of Su Li, and faced a murderous group of people head on.
"Everyone, Su Li has joined the Eternal Immortal Palace and has become a guest of the sect. He has been protected by our Eternal Immortal Palace!"
"In addition, he is now the first disciple of the Great Elder of the Immortal Palace."
"Are you sure you want to be the enemy of the Eternal Immortal Palace?"
Qingyun's sudden appearance shocked everyone.
Once the identity of the first disciple of the Great Elder of the Eternal Immortal Palace was revealed, the few people who had just taken out their weapons and prepared to strike, all retreated.
"What?"
Gu Qing widened his eyes in confusion, looked at Qingyun and said loudly.
"Qingyun, I advise you not to tell lies. How could the great elder of the Eternal Immortal Palace accept him as his disciple? Who is he?"
"Here are strong men from all the major families. Don't tell such a big lie just to protect him!"
Facing Gu Qing's doubts, Qingyun shook her head firmly, looked at Gu Qing with her beautiful eyes, and repeated it again.
"Long after the auction ended, the Eternal Immortal Palace gave the Amethyst Card to Su Li!"
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at Su Li, there was a bit of fear on their faces.
Guo Wei stood on the outside of the encirclement, his doubts about Su Li deepening in his heart.
Is it possible that this person really has some identity, or does he have an ulterior and mysterious talent?
Otherwise, how could he be favored by the Eternal Immortal Palace?
You must know that the Eternal Immortal Palace is the most authoritative palace among cultivators.
From the beginning of its establishment, it has not been attached to any aristocratic sect, and has relied on its tyrannical strength to reach the heights of the strongest cultivators in the mainland.
In recent years, many families of practitioners have tried their best to send their children to the Eternal Immortal Palace for further training.
Even when he was young, he tried three times to enter the palace, but was rejected many times.
The major aristocratic families were whispering to each other. While watching the developments, they did not forget to whisper with their own family members.
"This is a bit too outrageous, isn't it? When did he turn from a young casual cultivator into a disciple of the great elder of the Eternal Immortal Palace?"
"I heard that the great elder of the Eternal Immortal Palace is extremely defensive. With such a background, why don't we think about it and think twice before we act?"
Qingyun turned around and met Su Li's eyes with her beautiful eyes.
As soon as he got the news that Su Li was besieged outside the ancient town, he rushed over non-stop. Fortunately, he arrived in time!
