Heavenly Pavilion!
Outside Purple Cloud City.
Chu Yang and Tie Butian were embraced together on the ground, their blood merging into a pool that flowed in meandering rivulets.
Seeing this scene, everyone around sighed in relief. Finally, that terrifying and oppressive aura had completely vanished...
This dreadful person was finally dead.
Fortunately, he was dead; otherwise, this world would likely descend into chaos.
Yun Zhongtian, Mo Lu, Purple Sovereign, and others looked on with more complicated expressions. Watching a lifelong rival die before them, and in such a heroic and domineering manner, each felt a myriad of emotions swirling within, difficult to articulate.
Yet there was one point of consolation—they no longer had to confront this terrifying individual.
But there was also a hint of loss in their hearts...
“Let’s clean up,” Yun Zhongtian sighed deeply. “Although Chu Yang is dead... he was a man deserving of our respect. Let’s give him a proper burial.”
Suddenly, a voice filled with gentle laughter rang out, “Who says he’s dead?”
Everyone was stunned.
It was then they noticed a white-clothed person had appeared in their midst, completely unnoticed. He seemed to have been there the whole time!
This white-clothed man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, blocking everyone’s gaze from Chu Yang and Tie Butian.
The experts in attendance, including the ones facing this white-clothed man, could only see his back. A faint white light surrounded him, and through this light, they could only make out a figure, but not discern his build or face.
This was a situation that should not have occurred, yet it happened, and inexplicably, everyone felt it was only natural.
As if it was the way things ought to be.
Many present were formidable figures in the world; with their resolute minds, they quickly sensed the abnormality and instinctively activated their spiritual perception to probe the white-clothed man.
To their astonishment, they found an extremely tight defense around him, blocking any attempt at spiritual probing.
Anyone who dared to look felt their spiritual perception burn with agonizing pain, as if engulfed in flames.
A wave of intense fear instantly swept over everyone.
A monstrous being had just died, and now another one had appeared.
Equally powerful to an indescribable degree!
No, while Chu Yang was indeed powerful, he still had limits; he likely had not surpassed the limits of the sage realm. However, this white-clothed man was unfathomable, far beyond the understanding of everyone present!
They watched as the white-clothed man lifted the intertwined bodies of Chu Yang and Tie Butian with one hand, and with the other, he grasped Tie Butian, saying softly, “Everyone should head back early. Ah, please help notify that tonight’s auction will be postponed to tomorrow night, with all rules remaining unchanged!”
With that, he leaped upward and vanished without a trace.
Just like that, he casually jumped into the air and disappeared.
On the ground, only a scene of chaos and lifeless bodies remained.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances; they clearly saw everything, yet all were left utterly puzzled.
Chu Yang and Tie Butian were undeniably dead, and in a completely disintegrated manner.
The auction obviously required Chu Yang to host; with his death, what auction could there be?
Moreover, that white-clothed man had clearly stated that Chu Yang was not dead, yet thousands of eyes present were watching; the man was lifeless, how could he not be dead? Were everyone’s eyes deceived?
For a moment, everyone felt dizzy.
Of course, the most bewildered was: who was this white-clothed man?!
Why did he suddenly appear here?
And why was he so extraordinarily powerful, so unfathomable!
On Vast Mountain!
A white shadow flew rapidly, and not a single person on the mountain noticed; the individual's speed was so fast it transcended human perception. In the blink of an eye, the white-clothed man reached the mountain summit, blocking the Soul Suppressing Stone. The longsword, gleaming coldly, automatically pulled itself up without any warning, as that white shadow took hold of Chu Yang and Tie Butian’s flying bodies and swiftly entered!
