A few days later, Martial Gathering Island.
The news of the Gu Family marrying off two daughters at the same time caused quite a stir throughout the Sky Wind Sea Region. Especially after the Gu Family forcefully eliminated the Wei Family and subdued the other three major families in one fell swoop, becoming one of the three major forces in the Sky Wind Sea Region, it attracted the attention of the entire Sky Wind Sea Region.
On the wedding day, the Lords of the Qiankun Cave Heaven and the Evil Wind Cave Heaven both arrived in person and presented a large gift. At the same time, they carved out a large area of sea into the Gu Family's sphere of influence.
In fact, the re-division of the sea area was proposed by Wu Xuan, the Lord of the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. After all, he had offended Little Marten before, and Wu Xuan was worried about retaliation, so the apology was very sincere.
However, the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven had never agreed before, even when Wu Xuan used the name of the Sky Demon Marten Tribe to threaten the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven, the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven still refused to budge.
Of course, although he refused to budge, the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven did not refuse the Gu Family's wedding invitation, which was considered giving face to the young Space Ancestor Symbol controller.
However, after arriving at Martial Gathering Island, the array that the Gu Family had invited directly startled the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven.
Bo Xuan, the Lord of the Darkness Hall, and the Sword Saint, who had recently become famous in the Eastern Xuan Region, were present. Most importantly, Lin Dong, the current head of the Gu Family, was the eldest brother of Bo Xuan's direct disciple, and, judging from the situation, they were definitely family, and also related to the Sword Saint clan.
With such a big backer, the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven immediately changed his mind and agreed on the spot. Not only did he agree to the previous proposal of Wu Xuan, but he even took the initiative to add more, directly carving out half of the Sky Wind Sea Region into the Gu Family's territory, and even that half was equally divided between his Qiankun Cave Heaven and the Evil Wind Cave Heaven.
Wu Xuan dared not object to the sudden change of the Lord of the Qiankun Cave Heaven, because just two days ago, he had also received intelligence from the Eastern Xuan Region.
That white-haired youth who seemed to have no reputation, was a ruthless person who could carry a Sword in the Death Profound Realm and chase after Reincarnation Realm experts to chop them down. Now that he had stepped into the Revolving Wheel Realm, a Revolving Wheel Realm cultivator like him was estimated to be killed with one Sword by that Sword Saint!
Most importantly, according to rumors, that Sword Saint was a very indifferent person, and his heart was as cold as his Sword. If he caused the Sword Saint even a trace of dissatisfaction, Wu Xuan would die in vain.
Fortunately, throughout the night, the Sword Saint seemed to be in a good mood and did not care about those trivial matters, and even drank a cup with him, which relieved Wu Xuan's hanging heart.
Without staying on Martial Gathering Island for long, Lin Dong, Little Marten and the others set off again and headed towards the sea area where the Flame God Hall was located. As for the Gu Family, after Lin Xuan and Bo Xuan showed up, no one in the entire Sky Wind Sea Region dared to provoke the Gu Family.
As for the Primordial Tower, it was arranged extremely well, and it was directly set as a forbidden area of the Gu Family, guarded by the four major family heads at the same time, and there was also a formation to protect it. As for the quota, from now on, there would be three places every year, one for the Gu Family's main line, and the remaining two would be jointly competed for by all the young geniuses under the Gu Family, and those who had entered would not be allowed to enter again.
After Lin Dong and others left, Lin Xuan and Bo Xuan joined forces to set up the guarding formation of the Primordial Tower, and then left Martial Gathering Island.
However, this time, they did not take Lin Qingtan with them, because Lin Qingtan was on the Gu Family's ship with Gu Yan and Gu Mengqi, experiencing training with Lin Dong and Little Marten.
A few days later, Lin Xuan and Bo Xuan arrived at the Flame God Hall and met the long-famous Lord of the Flame God Hall, who was also the Flame Ancestor Symbol controller.
However, just as the three of them met, they received news that the Thunder Ancestor Symbol was about to be born. Immediately, Lin Xuan had to set off again and rush over with Mo Luo and Bo Xuan.
Sky Merchant City!
The Sky Merchant Sea Region is definitely a very unique sea region in the Chaotic Demon Sea. This uniqueness is not only reflected in the terrain of the Sky Merchant Sea Region, but also in the unique industry of the Sky Merchant Sea Region - commerce!
The Sky Merchant Sea Region has a complex terrain, and is connected by several smaller sea regions. Hundreds of islands are connected to form the most important area on the Sky Merchant Sea Region - the Sky Merchant Region.
And the famous Sky Merchant City is the main city of the Sky Merchant Region. Here, it is rumored that as long as you have enough Profound Essence Pills, you can buy the treasures you want.
When Lin Xuan and his group arrived at Sky Merchant City, Lin Dong and his group also happened to arrive here.
Of course, Lin Dong did not come to Sky Merchant City by chance, but because the Gu Family received news that there were clues about the cave of a Reincarnation Realm expert here, so Lin Dong rushed all the way here.
On the way here, Lin Dong also met a little girl named Mu Lingshan.
At that time, Mu Lingshan was being chased by the Blood Shark Tribe of the Sea Beast clan. Originally, Lin Dong did not intend to care about these things, after all, he hated trouble.
But the Blood Shark Tribe actually arrogantly threatened them, which directly angered Little Marten, who took action to clean up all those people. After rescuing Mu Lingshan, Lin Dong realized that this Mu Lingshan was not simple. The wooden board in her hand was actually the coffin lid of the Lord of Life and Death's Life and Death Coffin.
A little girl whose origin even Yan could not see through, in the end, Lin Dong still left her on the ship.
A few days later, on the north side of Sky Merchant City, there was an extremely huge suspended square, which was where Sky Merchant City held auctions.
This suspended plaza, though not small, and sufficient to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was still somewhat insignificant in the face of the Sky Merchant Auction, a grand event that was renowned even in the entire Chaotic Demon Sea.
Therefore, not everyone could enter that suspended plaza. One needed an invitation from the Sky Merchant Pavilion, the ruler of Sky Merchant City, to participate.
Such invitations were naturally not difficult for forces like the Gu Family to obtain. Moreover, the current Gu Family was a major power in the entire Chaotic Demon Sea. A few invitations were merely a matter of asking.
Even Lin Dong could easily acquire them. For Mo Luo, it was even simpler. He didn't even need an invitation; people from the Sky Merchant Pavilion directly escorted him into the suspended plaza.
Dressed in a red dress, the charming and alluring Tang Dongling walked cautiously in front, her eyes occasionally glancing at the three strange people in hooded robes behind her.
As for what was strange, it was naturally their attire. Usually, people wore hooded robes to conceal their identities, so they were loose robes, and mostly black.
But the three people behind her, one wore a black robe so dark it was eerie, like a shadow. Another wore a crimson red robe, like a flame. The last one was even more peculiar, wearing a snow-white robe.
Moreover, through the hood, Tang Dongling could vaguely glimpse a few strands of silver hair, but looking from under the hood, the man appeared very young. According to Tang Dongling's guess, this should be a young man.
Yet, this exceptionally young man was able to have the other two defer to him, indicating that his background must be extraordinary.
"Esteemed guests, this way please!"
Tang Dongling extended her hand and directly tore a nearly ten-foot-wide gap in the barrier formed by the Sky Merchant City's protective formation. Then, she respectfully bowed to the three people behind her.
Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and stepped into it with Mo Luo and Bo Xuan. After the three entered, Tang Dongling followed.
As soon as they entered the plaza behind the light curtain, a deafening roar of noise surged towards Lin Xuan and the others. Looking at the dense crowd below, Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and jokingly said to Mo Luo, who was wearing a crimson red robe.
"This is much more lively than your place!"
"It's fine if it's quieter. Too many people are just noisy," Mo Luo said indifferently. Bo Xuan, hearing this, teased.
"What, are you afraid of noise? I heard that you never manage anything anyway?"
"It's not like you're managing anything now," Mo Luo immediately retorted upon hearing Bo Xuan's teasing. If it were before, he couldn't have said that, after all, Bo Xuan had truly managed the vast Darkness Hall.
But now, hehe, after finding a disciple, this old thing had also started being a hands-off manager, leaving the affairs of the Darkness Hall to others. Therefore, Mo Luo's response was completely justified.
"Hey, don't accuse me of being as irresponsible as you. I've directly retired now, and even the position of Hall Master, hehe, has been passed on to my disciple."
Bo Xuan didn't acknowledge it. This was pure slander, slander. He wasn't starting to be a hands-off manager, but rather retreating to the second line, giving the younger generation more opportunities to train.
Tang Dongling, who was behind them, felt her heart tremble. If others heard it, they would only think that these two were boasting to each other, talking about Hall Masters.
But Tang Dongling knew that these three were all big shots, with extremely unusual identities and statuses. Her father had personally asked her to accompany the three, and even her original job of hosting the auction had been taken over by her father.
And the title of Hall Master, in today's world, only two were the most resounding: one was the Hall Master of the Flame God Hall, and the other was the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall.
Coincidentally, both were Ancestor Symbol controllers, and their own strengths had long since broken through to the Revolving Wheel Realm. Ordinary Revolving Wheel Realm experts were not even in their eyes.
"Oh? I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Your precious disciple is actually here too."
Mo Luo suddenly sensed something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile. However, Bo Xuan suddenly didn't reply, leaving Mo Luo puzzled. Lin Xuan, seeing this, quickly explained with a smile.
"Don't rub salt in the wound, you. Not long ago, his precious disciple was abducted by someone. They are the real family, haha!"
Lin Xuan's laughter carried a hint of schadenfreude. However, the people around didn't hear anything at all, which made Tang Dongling behind him feel a burst of shock. This person's strength was even above her father's.
"Oh, that little girl seems quite extraordinary!"
Bo Xuan, who initially didn't want to speak, suddenly focused his gaze on Mu Lingshan, who was smiling and looking around, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh, that one is a junior of an old friend of mine."
Mo Luo said with a smile, without explaining further. Lin Xuan also looked over, and in the next moment, his gaze slightly condensed. With his strength, he couldn't see through Mu Lingshan's details at a glance, but he could sense a strong Qi of Death.
However, although he didn't see through her immediately, Lin Xuan still guessed Mu Lingshan's true identity. She should be the spirit of the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol.
The power of life and death is the most mysterious, especially since the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol was ultimately stored with the corpse of the Lord of Life and Death.
Although the Lord of Life and Death entered Reincarnation Realm, his physical body still contained vast power of life and death. After all, reaching the realm of the Lord of Life and Death, their physical bodies were already equivalent to another Ancestor Symbol, only lacking the Ancestor Symbol spirit.
This vast power of life and death, in the brewing of time, miraculously helped the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol spirit reshape a physical body.
Or rather, it should be said that it created another Lord of Life and Death!
Mu Lingshan's appearance may also be related to the Lord of Life and Death, not necessarily a method used by the Lord of Life and Death before death, but more likely influenced by the will of the Lord of Life and Death.
For people like the Lord of Life and Death, they don't care whether they are forever trapped in Reincarnation Realm and unable to awaken, but they absolutely do not want this world to be completely eroded by Otherworldly Demons.
Therefore, under the influence of this remnant will left in the body, the body of the Lord of Life and Death, combined with the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol spirit, gave birth to Mu Lingshan.
If the Lord of Life and Death can never return, then Mu Lingshan can also, with the help of the other Ancient Eight Rulers, devour the spirit of the Lord of Life and Death that is trapped in Reincarnation Realm, and once again reach the former realm of the Lord of Life and Death. However, the price is that the spirit of the Lord of Life and Death will forever disappear from this world.
Which also means that the Lord of Life and Death will truly fall.
Do not doubt Mu Lingshan's potential, she is the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol spirit, combined with the body of the Lord of Life and Death, and inherently controls the power of the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol.
Currently, Mu Lingshan's strength is weak, but only because she has just awakened, and the Ancestor Symbol spirit and the power of the body of the Lord of Life and Death have not been fully controlled by her.
Of course, the above are all Lin Xuan's guesses, and in fact, they are not much different from Lin Xuan's speculation, roughly like this.
The three were talking and laughing, and were preparing to walk towards the last and highest VIP seats in the square. After all, with their strength, such a short distance would not have much impact.
But Lin Xuan and the others, led by Tang Dongling, were stopped after walking a few steps.
"Dongling, you've become even more beautiful since I last saw you."
A black-clothed man suddenly appeared, blocking Tang Dongling, who was leading the way. His rather handsome face was now carrying a hint of frivolousness, and his slightly sinister eyes were scanning Tang Dongling up and down.
Tang Dongling, who was suddenly blocked, frowned slightly, and said with a rather unsightly expression.
"Young Master Xie, today is the auction held by my Sky Merchant Pavilion, please don't cause trouble, Young Master Xie!"
With Lin Xuan and the others standing behind her, Tang Dongling spoke quite impolitely, making Xie Yan, who wanted to show off in front of the beauty, look a little unsightly.
