Luo Xiao did not know that the assassin was suffering behind them. Due to Jiang Yao activating a protective array around his lover, the sounds behind them were all hidden from him.

Even when the assassin had fallen to the ground and tried to make a lot of noise, the sounds were blocked, and Jiang Yao showed no intention of caring.

The assassin began to feel cold at heart. He realized that this Seventh Demon Prince did not plan on keeping him alive. Even the possibility of gaining information was not as important as clearing away all dangers.

Unfortunately, since he had initially expected that his life would not be at risk, he had not used a lot of power to escape right away. He wanted to save his strength, and then attack when he got an opening.

However, history seemed to repeat itself. His actions were delayed, and he once more lost the bet. As he took his final breath, the eyes were red and full of unwillingness. He was not ready to die, nor was he willing to accept this failure.

But life was not fair, and no matter how unwilling he was, it could not help him retain his life. The last breath was slowly exhaled, and the heart stopped beating. A few tears of blood slipped from his eyes, and the menacing expression in his eyes was making it easy to guess that he died with grievances.

As soon as he died, the shadows that had wrapped around him slowly retracted themselves, revealing a body where every single bone had been crushed by the strength used when tightening itself around him. The body was grotesque and most would get nightmares upon witnessing the ruthless way he died.

But Jiang Yao was not going to let Luo Xiao witness this gruesome sight, and the moment the shadows had vanished, the door opened, and a group of guards dressed in black entered. They grabbed the corpse and quickly removed all traces of blood and battle on the ground, before vanishing out the door once more.

Jiang Yao did not remove the noise-cancelling array before he was certain that they were far gone. A smile spread on his lips as he looked at the young man who was still resting on his lap. It was clear that Luo Xiao had not noticed anything amiss, and the auction had managed to grasp his full attention.

Many treasures had already been used for exchange, and the amount of spirit crystals they had earned was also overwhelming. Although the majority of these spirit crystals were Moon Graded, there were a few Heaven Graded ones as well, and they were so rare that even the majority of the wealthy families could not afford to use them randomly.

An auction would usually last a few hours, but due to the special circumstances here, the auction would also go on longer than normal, and even after five hours, they were only just reaching the last few items on the list.

Although the auction was longer than usual, the visitors were all focused throughout, and the further they got, the more excited the audience became.

Although they had been eager for every treasure, the ones that were coming now would be so rare that even in ancient times, they would have been considered scarce.

To get such treasures was important, and they had heard that a few plants would be auctioned off as well. If these plants were able to be rejuvenated and grow roots, they might be able to reintroduce them into this world, and earn a great amount of wealth.

These treasures were able to provide a boost to their cultivators, but they still hoped that they could make them even more beneficial by starting to farm them.

Luo Xiao was not worried about this. Although it might be possible to make a few of them take root, they would not be able to create fields of these herbs.

The herbs had no seeds, as Luo Xiao had already taken those before handing over the plants to the auction house, and even if they managed to make them grow roots and look after them well, the environment was no longer able to provide enough energy to keep them alive.

If they decided to create a formation around it and feed it with energy from spirit crystals, it might survive, but due to the lack of other plants to share the pollen with, they would never be able to create new seeds.

As such, they should be grateful for the one plant they got. However, even if they decided to toss around and try to gain further benefits, then he had no intention to stop them. It was, after all, not in his interest to warn them ahead of time.

Jiang Yao could see Luo Xiao's interest as the many herbs were introduced and sold one after another. Time passed quickly, but the bidding on each item took much longer than the previous, as more people wished to participate in the bidding.

After another few hours, it was time for the final item to be put up for auction.

This item was known as Crystallized Moonlight. It resembled a mixture between a jewel and a spirit crystal, but it was much more powerful than these things.

It needed hundreds of thousands of years to be created, and when it finally came into being, it would cause chaos in the entire world. This Crystallized Moonlight was different from other plants, and even after creation, it continued to be nourished in that hidden cave, resulting in the purity being much more overwhelming than others of the same kind.

The Crystallized Moonlight could be consumed directly. One did not have to extract the energy as one had to do with the Spirit Crystals, it was enough to place it in one's mouth, and it would not only purify all the energy one already had, but it would also increase their cultivation base over time.
