Serpent Ancestor

The Flame Demon Ancestor immediately took action, offering a fifth-tier flying sword for exchange, but Li Changge flatly refused.

However, when Gong Jiang presented a similar flying sword, Li Changge gladly accepted it and handed over the Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow.

”Anyone else want to trade? I have plenty of this Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow.”

Li Changge took out another piece of the Cold Marrow, smiling as he looked around.

Wei Wudao brought out a set of ghostly talismans and successfully exchanged them for the Cold Marrow as well.

”Damn it, this is clearly targeting us!” Xiong Yan gritted his teeth.

The Flame Demon Ancestor appeared furious, but in reality, he sneered inwardly, ”Hmph, do they really think this mere Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow can target me? My Furious Flame True Scripture has long been perfected; the Cold Marrow will only be countered by me. To deal with me, it would take at least a hundred-thousand-year version.”

”Although I’ve only sparred with Old Li once, and it was just a test, he wouldn’t overlook this point. Haha, what an old fox.”

The Flame Demon Ancestor remained as calm as a mountain inside.

In no time, five pieces of the Cold Marrow were traded away, with three pieces going to Heavenly Sand Star and Sea Star.Xu Hei was tempted, but he didn’t have many treasures to offer in exchange.

Moreover, he felt that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

After a brief contemplation, Xu Hei transmitted a message to Ah Yin, who quickly relayed Xu Hei’s words to Li Changge.

”Is this true?”

Li Changge’s eyes flashed, but he said nothing, only nodding slightly.

After that, no one else traded for the Cold Marrow. The Sea Star Demon Clan had planned to scrape together enough to exchange for a fifty-thousand-year Cold Marrow, but their offered treasures weren’t valuable enough, and Li Changge refused.

Finally, it was Sea Star and Heavenly Sand Star’s turn. They didn’t have many treasures, only some remnants of ancient beasts, which were bought at a high price by the Yan Dao Sect.

The trade meeting officially concluded.

Xiong Yan stood up and said, ”Well, I believe everyone has gained what they needed from this trade meeting. Now, let’s get to the main topic!”

The main topic? Wasn’t the trade meeting the main topic?

Everyone was puzzled but remained, waiting quietly without leaving.

”The last time the Seven Stars Alignment occurred, those five ascended Superior Immortals, there should be records in your ancient texts,” Xiong Yan said.

Everyone exchanged glances, looking in the direction of the Divine Continent Star. Those five Superior Immortals were renowned back then, all from the Divine Continent Star, a remarkable spectacle.

”I invited you all here precisely for this matter! I suspect those five Superior Immortals left behind an ancient relic, located on Moon Star!” Xiong Yan declared firmly.

This statement was like a bombshell, immediately causing an uproar.

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward Night Owl and Xu Hei, their expressions filled with uncertainty.

An ancient relic left by five ascended cultivators—what a monumental endeavor! If true, they would go to see it at any cost.

Xiong Yan also looked at the two, smiling, ”What do you two think?”

Xu Hei said nothing, merely looking at Night Owl beside him.

Night Owl knew that today’s matter wouldn’t end peacefully. From the moment Xiong Yan spoke, the Divine Continent Star was thrust into the spotlight.

Guanghan Palace might very well be detected.

Night Owl took a deep breath and slowly said, ”Moon Star is the companion star of our Divine Continent Star. Our sect has explored it for 350,000 years. While we don’t claim to know it inside out, we’ve grasped the basics. If you truly believe there’s an ancient relic, feel free to take a look.”

”But let me be clear: on the territory of the Divine Continent Star, you must act according to the rules and cannot linger. Otherwise, if you encounter any danger and fall here, I won’t be responsible!”

Night Owl neither confirmed nor denied.

If they wanted to search for a relic, they could go ahead; he wouldn’t stop them. But he wouldn’t hand over Moon Star’s territory either. Coming and going as they pleased, investigating at will—how could that be reasonable? Consider it a warning.

”Hahaha!” Xiong Yan laughed heartily, saying, ”Since you two won’t tell the truth, that’s fine.”

”This meteorite of mine may seem still, but in reality, it’s moving steadily in one direction. You can guess where we’re headed.” Xiong Yan’s eyes were playful, seemingly mocking.

Upon hearing this, Night Owl released a crow from his sleeve, which flew out of the hall to observe the distant stars.

They discovered that the meteorite was moving steadily toward Moon Star, its target being the far north.

If it collided, the destruction aside, the matters of Guanghan Palace would likely be completely exposed!

Night Owl’s silhouette was pitch black, his eyes flashing with a fierce killing intent.

”Don’t misunderstand, Night Daoist. This meteorite’s trajectory is naturally formed; I’m not secretly controlling anything. If it wants to crash, there’s nothing I can do!” Xiong Yan quickly raised his hands, feigning innocence.

Night Owl took a deep breath and transmitted to Xu Hei, ”Xu Hei, I understand you now.”

”Understand what?” Xu Hei looked at him.

”I also want to kill this guy!” Night Owl said.

”...” Xu Hei remained silent.

At this moment, the hall was unusually quiet.

No one spoke; they simply stayed on the meteorite, watching as Moon Star drew closer.

They were also curious about what the Blood Refining Sect was up to. It couldn’t be a pointless commotion; they might have truly discovered something.

Under these circumstances, the more the Divine Continent Star tried to conceal, the more it might backfire.

Facing everyone’s scrutiny, Night Owl pondered for a long time and said, ”Change the meteorite’s direction. Our sect indeed discovered something on Moon Star.”

Hearing this, Xiong Yan’s eyes lit up, and everyone was taken aback, their gazes fixed on him.

The Flame Demon Ancestor performed a hand seal.

At this moment, everyone could clearly feel the meteorite’s trajectory changing, no longer heading for Moon Star but drifting into the vast cosmos.

The Flame Demon Ancestor stood up and said, ”In that case, we need not linger. Let’s follow this Daoist friend from the Divine Continent Star for a look. I believe it will provide a satisfactory answer.”

Night Owl said, ”I’ll lead the way!”

He exited the hall, took out a Void Boat, and headed swiftly toward Moon Star.

Everyone else also brought out their flying magical artifacts, following behind.

Xu Hei seized an opportunity to move to a secluded area, where Li Changge arrived as promised. The old man took out formation flags, setting them up in the void to isolate the area from the outside world.

Then he looked at Xu Hei and said, ”Young friend Xu, do you really have that treasure?”

”Indeed!” Xu Hei nodded and said, ”However, if we’re trading with this item, I’m afraid Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow won’t suffice!”

”Yes, naturally. If you truly have this treasure, I’m willing to offer fifty-thousand-year Cold Marrow in exchange!” Li Changge said solemnly.

”Fifty-thousand years?” Xu Hei chuckled and said, ”If that’s all the sincerity you have, then there’s no need for a trade.”
