The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3480 Sanctuary
"Someone is following us..."

Ning Hesheng didn't turn his head, but smiled and said, "If they want to follow, let them follow. There are always some delusional guys who dream of getting rich overnight."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Are they planning to keep an eye on us and then make their move once we leave the city?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "Yuntian City has a rule that prohibits private fights within the city. Violators will be executed. This is no joke. There are guards everywhere in the city, and there is a formation barrier above the entire city. Anyone who dares to disobey the ban would be courting death."

"If it were an ordinary person, they might have a chance if they followed them, but you can jump between stars, so aren't they destined to have their plans thwarted?"

The two chatted openly and returned to the hotel, completely ignoring the people behind them.

The next day, the two went out to Shenwu Auction House, paid the registration fee, obtained the qualification to participate, and received a set of auction item information forms.

The information sheet listed in detail the items that the auction house would be auctioning, but the last three items were not listed. Instead, they were marked with gold question marks on black boxes, with the starting price written below.

Five million divine crystals.

The spirit of a sub-saint level demon beast is worth only a little over one million to two million, but the starting price of this mysterious auction item is five million divine crystals. One can imagine that its true value is definitely more than just the starting price.

Although it wasn't listed on the information sheet, Lin Chen believed that truly interested buyers had already found out the details of these three Asian auction items.

If even a single staff member at the Celestial Alliance counter knows about this, how well can you expect it to be kept secret?

Soon, the day of the auction arrived.

The two entered the auction house, received their bidding paddles, and followed the wide passageway into the enormous auction hall.

The auction hall was semi-circular, with the auction stage at the front. Inside, there were rows of chairs upholstered in soft fur, making it look very comfortable.

Ning Hesheng found his seat and sat down in the chair, while Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back next to Ning Hesheng's chair.

One by one, the attendees entered the venue, and the huge auction hall was filled with people. Many of these people knew each other and greeted one another, making the entire auction hall lively and bustling.

The auction began quickly afterward.

One item after another was placed on the auction display stand, and the auctioneer first introduced it before the bidding began.

Lin Chen and Ning Hesheng had studied the auction catalog. Although there were many good items in it, they were not of much use to them, given that their strength had already reached its peak.

For Lin Chen at present, only extremely powerful magic weapons or supernatural abilities and some special items can attract him; everything else is dispensable.

The auction house was bustling with activity, with bids rising in waves.

As time passed, all the previous auction items had been auctioned off.

Finally, it was time for the final three items to be auctioned.

All the wealthy buyers stared intently at the auctioneer in the sky. The auctioneer's gaze swept across the room, and he announced excitedly, "Now, the bidding will begin for the first of our three most anticipated items..."

As the auctioneer announced the auction, the auction assistant placed the items on the high platform.

A complete rubbing.

Instead of introducing the rubbing, the auctioneer began to tell the story: "As we all know, in the ancient times, before the gods had taken their seats, the peak experts of the Saint Realm engaged in a battle that lasted for tens of thousands of years in order to compete for godhood. Countless powerful Saints perished in this battle, and the final result of this battle was that the entire God Realm was almost destroyed. This period is known as the Age of Saint Fall."

"In the later stages of the Saint's Fall, many divine essences were seized and absorbed one by one. Then, one celestial god descended upon the Celestial God Realm. With the return of many celestial gods to their positions, the order of the Celestial God Realm finally stabilized."

"During the period of the fall of saints, those who could participate in the struggle for the position of gods were all the strongest among the saints. Each of them had extraordinary strength, and their names were deeply revered by people. However, one by one they fell in this war, becoming the background of this tragic history."

"Although these saints have fallen, based on their own power, unique sacred domains will be formed at the places where they fall. Different saints have different sacred domains. Saints usually leave behind their unique skills and magical treasures in their sacred domains, waiting for the destined ones."

"As time goes by, these sacred realms absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming increasingly powerful, increasingly difficult to enter, and even increasingly difficult to find."

The auctioneer's voice suddenly rose several octaves as he pointed to the rubbing that was floating in mid-air, emitting a faint glow.

"Among those fallen peak saints, there was a saint named Chen Zu. During the era of saints falling, Chen Zu was very famous and was once a strong contender for the Dao of Water. However, the struggle was full of ups and downs and unexpected events. This peak saint, who was regarded by many as a powerful opponent, suddenly fell in a battle and has been missing ever since."

"This rubbing comes from an adventure team. They got lost and accidentally entered the outer perimeter of a sacred domain. There they found a towering stele covered with dense inscriptions. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the inscriptions on the stele were all about the life of Ancestor Chen, and that this sacred domain should have been formed after Ancestor Chen's fall."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction house erupted in a cacophony of noise, like a bustling marketplace. Many people stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with excitement.

Not every saint who falls will form a saintly domain. Only saints who have reached a certain level will form a saintly domain after their fall. Conversely, this means that saints who can form a saintly domain are definitely extremely powerful.

They are certainly not as good as gods, but at the level of saints, they are absolutely the pinnacle figures.

During the Age of Saints' Fall, countless saints perished, leaving behind numerous sacred realms. In the subsequent eras, many of these sacred realms were gradually discovered by people.

The opening of each sacred realm signifies the reappearance of a supreme saint from the ancient times, along with his unique skills, magical treasures, and so on.

For this reason, exploring the sacred realm has always been the most fervent adventure activity in the realm of gods.

Saints who can form a sacred domain are all top experts who were qualified to participate in the competition for the divine status of gods. How could their unique skills and magical treasures be inferior?

Would someone with such strength be penniless?
Could the items he carries be ordinary?
If someone can find a sacred site and successfully excavate it, the excavator is destined to become rich.

Whether you use the acquired items yourself or sell them, it's a sure way to make a fortune and achieve instant success.

Ning Hesheng opened his eyes wide, his gaze intense.

Sanctuary!
