Chapter 1117 Worry
"After all, it's a technique for the Combined Core realm. It's understandable that the Demon Capital Prefecture would act in secret, but what they did was too low-class."
"Kidnapping people? Is there anything their Demon Capital Prefecture wouldn't do?"
Elder Hei Qing's tone was somewhat agitated. He was the one who had been competing with Chen Yang for spirit stones until the end.
If it had been a normal bidding war, there would have been nothing to say.
But thinking about it now, he had been completely played by Chen Yang. Elder Hei Qing naturally felt displeased.
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite a good thing that it was snatched away by such a young fellow."
As soon as he said this, Elder Hei Qing's brows furrowed.
As for Elder Wang You, who was beside him, he looked at Ye Hua in surprise.
"If I'm not mistaken, the human woman that Elder Wang You captured is named Qin Yunlan, right?"
Facing Ye Hua's inquiry, Elder Wang You slowly nodded, "It is she."
Elder Hei Qing looked at the two of them strangely. He had never even heard of this Qin Yunlan they were talking about!
Under Elder Hei Qing's repeated questioning, Ye Hua finally said, "The bloodline of the human race is becoming increasingly scarce, and among the younger generation, it is rumored that a genius has appeared."
"Not only did she create her own techniques, but after entering the Foundation Establishment realm, she is preparing to break through to the Combined Core realm within a few years. I always thought there was some exaggeration in this, but now it seems that Qin Yunlan might truly possess extraordinary talent as rumored!"
"Just now, in the auction hall, I sensed someone outside."
"More importantly, Elder Wang You gathered all the Elders from other black markets in the sea area to the auction site before this auction, didn't you?"
Elder Wang You glanced at Ye Hua expressionlessly. Although he hadn't been secretive when doing these things, to understand all the inside information in such a short time.
This Ye Hua must have planted his own spies in the black market!
"Damn it, Ye Hua, how do you know so much?"
After a complaint, Elder Hei Qing looked at Elder Wang You and asked strangely, "Since you arranged so many people, you still let those guys from the Demon Patrol Division get away with it?"
Elder Wang You's lips finally moved. He was furious!
If this matter got out, who knew how long he would be laughed at by others.
A mere fellow in the Foundation Establishment realm, snatching spirit stones and a person right under his nose!
It was humiliating to even think about it.
"There weren't that many people."
"The humans who came to rescue Qin Yunlan were two individuals in the Combined Core realm, and their strength was not weak. Although the other fellows in the black market have also reached the Combined Core realm, to capture those two human Combined Core realm cultivators, they would have to deploy everyone."
Just as Elder Wang You finished explaining, Elder Ye Hua suddenly asked, "I've always been curious, for someone like Qin Yunlan, there must have been others protecting her during her breakthrough."
"How did you in the Wang You Sea Area get her location, and how did you capture her?"
"Without planting spies, this matter would have been very difficult to accomplish, wouldn't it?"
Facing Ye Hua's relentless questioning, Elder Wang You stopped talking and instead said to the captain of the warship, "Have the other ships pursue from the left, forcing them to go right."
Mi Chuanwei, who was at full speed, saw the warship on the left and immediately reported the situation.
Chen Yang had already noticed the ship on the left and, without hesitation, ordered two spirit energy cannon shots.
However, the other side was only blocking their path and not approaching.
Mi Chuanwei, who had sailed the seas for many years, immediately realized the intention behind the black market warship's actions: "They are forcing us to go right!"
Mi Chuanwei took out a sea chart, searched for a long time, and pointed to a dark spot, "It's a spatial rift in the Wang You Sea Area!"
A'anda hurriedly explained, "We can't go there. Spatial rifts, although they have stabilized over the years, if we accidentally touch one, we'll all die there!"
Their eyes simultaneously fell on Chen Yang.
"If we don't go right, we have to fight the black market warships now. The defensive formation was previously cracked by a full-power blow from a Combined Core realm cultivator. Even if they don't deploy Combined Core realm cultivators, they can shatter the defensive formation with ordinary spirit energy cannons!"
Mi Chuanwei knew his ship very well. Although it could withstand a few full-power blows from a Combined Core realm cultivator, Mi Chuanwei dared not gamble on a second time.
Chen Yang swept his spiritual power over the several black market ships, his expression darkening. "At least three Combined Core realm cultivators. A head-on confrontation is not opportune now."
"Head for the spatial rift!"
No one questioned Chen Yang's choice. At this moment, they had to trust Chen Yang.
Driven by the black market warships, Chen Yang and his group headed right. The black market warships did not pursue further but slowly followed behind.
This also gave Chen Yang an opportunity to recover.
Chen Yang used his spiritual power to communicate with Qin Yunlan, "I still don't know your name. I'm Chen Yang."
Qin Yunlan stared blankly at Chen Yang, not knowing her name?
What did that mean?
He came to save her without even knowing her name? And he risked so many lives?
Qin Yunlan looked at Chen Yang with a strange expression, "Qin Yunlan."
As for the name Chen Yang, she had never heard it before.
"Then may I call you Yunlan? So, are you really in the Combined Core realm?"
As Chen Yang pressed, a hint of bitterness appeared on Qin Yunlan's face, "Not exactly. To be a true Combined Core realm cultivator, one must condense their spiritual energy into a core."
"During my breakthrough, I was attacked by Elder Wang You, and the condensed core shattered."
"In terms of my realm, I am a bit stronger than an ordinary Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."
After explaining her situation, Qin Yunlan also retorted, "You, a mere second-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, bringing two Foundation Establishment realm cultivators and a group of people who haven't even reached Foundation Establishment to the black market to save me, and saying no one forced you to do this..."
"And you have a human aura, but you are different from the descendants of humans I encountered. Who exactly are you?"
Since boarding this ship, Qin Yunlan had heard at least three titles: Qi Fang of the Demon Patrol Division, Young Master, and Chen Yang.
Chen Yang quickly told Qin Yunlan his origin and how he got the news.
After speaking, Chen Yang worried that Qin Yunlan would not trust the others on the ship, so he explained, "A'anda has been helping me during this time, you can ask him."
"Mi Chuanwei is on the same boat as us now and won't cause any trouble. As for the others, you shouldn't worry, right?"
After all, the gap in cultivation and strength was too large.
Qin Yunlan immediately understood the implication of Chen Yang's words: "You're worried I'll kill them? Just because they're not of human bloodline?"
