Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 399: Black Robe Deep Underground

At noon the next day, in the big dining hall on the second floor of Wanxiang Building.

"Brother, did you feel anything unusual last night?" A girl in a white dress sitting by the attic window said with some fear.

"Well, you mean the sudden exposure of vital energy. Humph, although it may be scary to others, I don't take it seriously!" The young man in white sitting opposite the table said disdainfully, but a barely perceptible look of shock flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The girl in the white dress patted her chest and sighed, "It was really scary last night. Fortunately, my brother is strong and was not affected."

The young man in white smiled proudly, took a sip of tea, and then looked out the window toward the street below with an unnatural gaze.

At this time, in the restaurant, many customers were talking about the shocking incident of the leakage of vital energy last night.

"Damn it, I don't know what happened, but it almost made me go crazy!"

"You are better off, you live on the third floor. I live on the fourth floor. I felt it very obviously last night, and my cultivation level almost dropped by a level."

"Hehe, I heard that two people's cultivation dropped a level last night, but they were all in the True Spirit Realm. With our cultivation in the Martial King Realm, it doesn't have a big impact. We just lost more than ten days of hard training."

"Wanxianglou did not respond to this."

"What's there to respond to? If there's such a big commotion, it's very likely that some Martial Emperor senior who has hidden his cultivation is practicing some terrifying technique. For Martial Emperors, Wanxianglou can only turn a blind eye."

……

There were frequent discussions in the restaurant, and at this moment, a young man in black clothes was sitting by the window, drinking tea by himself.

He is Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was also a little relieved at this time. He had been planning to run away last night because the noise made by the "devouring seed" was too loud. But what surprised Ye Xuan was that Wanxianglou did not respond at all and did not conduct a thorough investigation at all.

In Ye Xuan's opinion, there are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that Wan Xianglou doesn't care about what happened last night at all and doesn't take it to heart. This is what Ye Xuan hopes to see.

But there is another possibility, that is, Wanxianglou is secretly investigating the matter!
Therefore, for safety reasons, Ye Xuan did not rush to leave Wanxiang Building, otherwise, he would lose his composure!
"Have you heard that the legendary Heavenly Spirit Jade Bone Body may appear at this Flower Girl Auction?"

Suddenly, the sound of conversation caught Ye Xuan's attention.

They were the three male warriors at the next table.

"Humph, she's just a female cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage. Otherwise, why would she be auctioned? Think about it, she's a peerless body!"

“Haha, even if it’s the Qi Condensation Stage, I’m afraid there will be many people fighting for it tonight. Moreover, I heard that the young master of Xuanyin Sect and the young masters of several other sects are now in Jiuyuan City. It is very likely that they came here for the Heavenly Spirit Jade Bone Body.”

"Tsk tsk, we don't stand a chance. Tonight's auction is just for fun."

There was more and more talk about the auction in the restaurant. Ye Xuan frowned and thought to himself: So the auction is going to be held tonight?

Ye Xuan was not interested in this kind of auction for prostitutes, so he knew very little about it. He only heard the excited voice of a young man at another table:
"I think this time will be the same as in previous years, and there will be a Martial Emperor Realm finale food."

Ye Xuan took a quick glance and saw that the person who was speaking was a little fat man holding a dessert in his hand.

"It's him?" Ye Xuan's mouth curled up, recognizing the other person. He was the one who hid under the mountain when he broke through the Martial King realm.

Although the opponent was hiding at that time, Ye Xuan still noticed him with his powerful mental power, but he did not point it out.

"Little Fatty, you want to die! We are here to rescue Senior Sister Wang's younger sister, and you are thinking about other things!" There were two girls sitting at the same table with the fat boy. One of them, the girl in green clothes with a melon-seed face, said with her eyes wide open.

The fat young man in brocade clothes froze in his expression, and hurriedly patted his chest, and promised a woman in a purple skirt and a veil sitting across the table, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Wang, I, Wang Xiaobao, will definitely redeem your junior sister this time. Hehe, I'm bringing out the family's Black Dragon Pearl this time!"

Wang Xiaobao said this and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The purple-dressed woman called Senior Sister Wang's bright eyes flashed with a strange color, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you very much, Junior Brother Wang."

They were actually auctioning off a Martial Emperor Realm expert? Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This auction was really crazy!
Without listening any further, Ye Xuan got up and left, returning to his room.

"Huh? Where did you go before?" Ye Xuan opened the door and found Xiao Hei, who had gone somewhere unknown in the past few days, lying on the table, lowering his head and looking at a thick book on the table.

"Quack, quack, I went out for a trip and brought back two books on historical records to read. I have been asleep for such a long time, so of course I have to learn about modern history." Xiao Hei said without looking up.

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "You didn't steal it, did you? By the way, can you also help me get two high-level martial arts books or something?"

"Quack, you are humiliating me. I am only borrowing it. If you want martial arts, go grab it yourself. It's not like you don't have hands."

This dead duck.

Ye Xuan sat on the chair, thought for a while, and decided to take advantage of the auction tonight to leave Wanxiang Building. He could not stay there any longer.

The noise made by the 'Devourer' when it exploded and devoured was too loud, but the people in Wanxiang Tower didn't react at all. This was too abnormal.

Ye Xuan felt a sense of foreboding in his heart and wanted to leave immediately, but in the wine hall, he already had a vague feeling that someone was secretly observing him.

This was a kind of anti-perception of his powerful mental power. The feeling of being spied on was extremely subtle. If he was not the king of mental power, he would never have been able to detect it.

"I must remain calm. There will definitely be many residents of Wanxiang Building attending the auction. That will be the best time to escape." Ye Xuan thought to himself, and returned to the bed to meditate.

……

at the same time.

Ten miles deep underground in Wanxiang Tower, there is an unknown secret room.

At this moment, a man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged in the secret room.

There was only a head-sized crystal ball floating in the middle of the dim secret room, emitting a faint light that flickered with the breathing of the man in black robe, making the entire secret room look eerie and terrifying, like a ghost town.

In the dim light, the face of the man in black robe could be vaguely seen, shrouded in thick black fog. His facial features could not be seen, and only the heavy breathing echoed in the secret room.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door. The man in black robe paused for a moment, but did not utter a word. Two ghost-like eyes lit up in the black fog.

"Master, it's me, Zhang Zhi." A man's respectful voice came from outside the door.

The black-robed man's ghostly eyes flashed, and the heavy stone door opened silently.

Then, a man walked in respectfully.

If Ye Xuan were here, he would find that this man was none other than the middle-aged male owner of Wanxianglou.

"What's the matter?" the man in black robe asked. His voice was that of an extremely old and hoarse old man, and it sounded extremely cold and unpleasant.

Although Zhang Zhi has reached the seventh level of martial king realm, there is obvious awe in his eyes when he is in front of this black man.

"Master, something strange happened last night..." Zhang Zhi stood aside respectfully and talked about the strange devouring power that suddenly appeared last night.

"Oh? All the energy within three miles was drained away in an instant. Those below the fourth level of the Martial King Realm had their energy and blood drained away to varying degrees!" The black-robed man said in a hoarse and sinister voice, with a hint of doubt. "Are you sure it was done by a junior at the first level of the Martial King Realm? What kind of powerful magic did he practice? "
