During the conversation in the auction hall, events were also unfolding outside.
After successfully acquiring the amethyst jade marrow through unscrupulous means, the three alliance leaders of the iron blood alliance, Greedy Wolf Gu Xinwu, did not linger, but chose to leave immediately.
To obtain this piece of amethyst jade marrow, the iron blood alliance had become like a rat crossing the street, targeted by everyone. Although those superior sects had not yet made a move, it did not mean they wouldn’t once the auction ended! Once they did, there would be no turning back.
Thus, Gu Xinwu left the scene at the first opportunity.
At that moment, the remaining three auction items attracted everyone’s attention, providing Gu Xinwu with a chance to escape.
In fact, when Gu Xinwu first attacked Chu Yang, he initially planned to deal a heavy blow, intending to severely injure him if not kill him. However, at the moment he made his move, Gu Xinwu changed his mind. If anything were to happen to Chu Yang, or if he were to be seriously injured, the auction would have to be interrupted, and he might not be able to leave. Therefore, he held back at the last moment, causing Chu Yang only minor internal injuries.
No matter how well one plans, changes happen faster than expected. This piece of amethyst jade marrow needed to be returned immediately. If the alliance leader could break through the peak celestial level barrier using this amethyst jade marrow, then the overall strength of the iron blood alliance would rise to a new level. In other words, they would no longer have to fear anything in the future!
However, just as Gu Xinwu had thought, plans indeed change quickly!
He had just turned a corner, headed back to the Jin Family, when a figure clad in green suddenly appeared before him, arriving silently.
“Trying to leave so soon?” The person’s beard fluttered as he smiled at him, “What? Are you scared?”
On the roof, a creature resembling a small white cat had quietly crouched down.
Oh my, this person seems incredibly powerful. Tiger Lord’s cultivation level hasn’t fully recovered, and it seems he isn’t a match for this person!
“Who are you?” Gu Xinwu asked warily. Though he had extensive experience in battle, he couldn’t gauge his opponent's depth, but his instincts told him that the person before him was extraordinarily powerful.
“Hmm, you’re not even worthy to ask who I am. You only need to know that I find you quite displeasing. Also, I really like that amethyst jade marrow!” The Elder in Green Robes stood with flowing sleeves, speaking leisurely.
The person’s words were straightforward, and their opposing stances were clear, leaving no room for negotiation!
“You like it?” A cold light flickered in Gu Xinwu’s eyes, “There are many who like this jade marrow. Just because you like it, what does that matter? The amethyst jade marrow is right here; it’s just a matter of whether you have the ability to take it!”
Gu Xinwu instantly pushed his cultivation level to its peak. Since a peaceful resolution was out of the question, he had to settle everything with force!
The Elder in Green Robes nodded in agreement, sighing, “That’s a very reasonable statement…”
Suddenly, he moved, a hand reaching out decisively.
Given his posture, it seemed he was going to choke Gu Xinwu by the neck.
Gu Xinwu almost laughed: This guy can’t be looking for death, right? Such crude methods are not worthy of him. I’ve seriously overestimated the strength of this person, it’s just that!
Just as that thought flashed through his mind, an endless shock followed. Even the two companions beside him were utterly stunned!
Because all three of them realized: at the moment the old man made his move, the surrounding air and space transformed into a tightly knit and indivisible whole.
The three of them, surprisingly, couldn’t move at all.
They couldn’t even blink!
They could only watch helplessly as that large right hand slowly approached, at an incredibly slow pace, until it effortlessly gripped Gu Xinwu’s neck.
