From the outside, there was nothing special to see about this Broken Sword.
But, since the Bloodthirsty Witch Han You had come all the way to bid on it, there must be something mysterious inside.
On the auction stage, the auction was being conducted by a young and beautiful woman, who looked at the crowd with a smiling face and asked loudly, "Twenty million top-grade Spirit Stones, is there a higher offer?"
"Twenty-five million."
Lin Yi didn’t even think twice before he called out a price directly.
Seeing someone competing with her, Han You’s gaze suddenly landed on Lin Yi, and then a cold gleam flashed through her eyes.
Han You stated coldly.
Lin Yi remained expressionless.
The voice of Han You was somber.
Lin Yi’s tone was still steady.
The entire auction hall was now in an uproar, with many surprised by Lin Yi’s substantial financial resources.
Spending eighty million top-grade Spirit Stones on a sword that seemed to be broken beyond repair, no matter its history, seemed utterly impossible to be worth that price in everyone’s eyes.
And Han You, she did not continue competing with Lin Yi, but a murderous intent suddenly flashed in her eyes as she looked at him.
This brat, actually coming here to compete with her for the item, was simply courting death!
Likewise, let him have the Broken Sword for now; as soon as they left the auction, she decided she would slaughter this brat and take the sword back!
After paying eighty million top-grade Spirit Stones, the Broken Sword finally ended up in Lin Yi’s hands.
Lin Yi studied the Broken Sword for a moment but couldn’t find anything special about it.
The sword’s spiritual nature seemed to have been completely lost, thoroughly becoming a piece of useless scrap metal.
"This Bloodthirsty Witch, to go to such lengths just for a piece of scrap metal?"
Lin Yi frowned, no matter the sensational history behind the sword, it had now become nothing but a piece of useless iron.
The Bloodthirsty Witch was no fool.
There certainly had to be a use for the sword that he was unaware of.
After the auction of the Broken Sword ended.
Han You stood up and left the auction house directly.
Lin Yi was about to follow when he was stopped by Old Demon Yun Long, who frowned and said, "Be careful, the Bloodthirsty Witch might be prepared for you."
However, Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Missing this opportunity, who knows when we will get another."
Moreover, the Eastern Domain was currently the realm of the Human Clan. The Undying Blood Clan dared not be too presumptuous on this land, or they would attract the attention of the major forces of the Eastern Domain. Now was the perfect time to deal with the Bloodthirsty Witch.
However, as Lin Yi left Wanxiang City.
He did not notice that several unwelcome guests were also following him out of Wanxiang City.
Three hundred miles east of Wanxiang City.
This place was known as Heavenly Demon Ridge.
For ordinary Martial Artists, this was a land fraught with Demon Path evil-doers, but to Lin Yi, who was himself a Demon Path evil-doer, the Heavenly Demon Ridge posed no threat whatsoever.
After splitting up with Old Demon Yun Long, Lin Yi finally intercepted the Bloodthirsty Witch Han You outside of Heavenly Demon Ridge.
"Saint Heir, what do you mean by this?"
Han You’s cold eyes stared directly at Lin Yi, "The Blood Empress has decreed that we turn hostility into alliance and serve the Blood God Sect well from now on. You and I both promised the Blood Empress. By acting now, could it be that you intend to defy the Empress’s decree?"
Lin Yi snorted with disdain and said dismissively, "Let’s not beat around the bush, Bloodthirsty Witch. There’s no need for pretense; I certainly do not believe you would obediently follow the Empress’s orders."
"The Saint Heir is absolutely right, I indeed have no intention of obeying the Blood Empress."
Han You revealed a smile, but it appeared rather sinister, "How could I feel at ease without taking your life first?"
After saying that, the Bloodthirsty Witch clapped her hands, and suddenly, a figure emerged from behind her.
Lin Yi, recognizing the figure who stepped out from behind the Bloodthirsty Witch, his pupils suddenly constricted because that figure was none other than the Earth Nether King, one of the Five Great Guardian Dharma Kings of the Blood God Sect.
Seeing the emergence of the Earth Nether King, Lin Yi’s gaze swiftly turned colder, "It turns out, you are the deepest hidden Lurker of the Undying Blood Clan."
The Earth Nether King eyed Lin Yi with his grim gaze and said, "You brat, should have died in the Water Spirit Secret Realm, but unexpectedly, not only did you survive, but you also received the Demon Dragon’s fortune."
Lin Yi’s face showed a sudden realization, "Pei Hong and the others, was it your arrangement?"
Back then, he had already hypothesized that there must be a mastermind behind the scenes in the Blood God Sect.
He just never expected that it was the Earth Nether King.
With the Earth Nether King’s appearance, a mocking expression appeared in Han You’s eyes as she looked at Lin Yi, saying with a semi-smile, "Lin Yi, I know your biggest reliance is on that Cloud Demon King by your side, unfortunately for you, with the Earth Nether King here, your biggest reliance won’t be of much use today."
"In this situation, do you still have the confidence that you can kill me?"
