After sorting out the information he had gathered, and excluding the indiscriminate bidders among them, the old man in the robe found that the bidding opponents who were really noteworthy and could threaten him to obtain the lava spirit essence were actually only two demon clans.

The first thing to pay attention to is called Niu Youfu, who is a demon saint with a lot of money, he is good at opportunism, he relied on business and trade to get rich in his early years, and he has accumulated countless family fortunes in half his life, and many shops and industries in Shacheng are under his name.

Niu Youfu not only has a rich family background, but he is also a middle-level demon saint, a powerful elder of a third-rate race in an oasis, and the ancestor of the peak of the demon saint in the clan is in charge, and in the entire desert, the overall strength can also rank in the top five.

In addition, because of the industrial relationship in Shacheng, he has maintained good relations with the two races that control Shacheng, and there are demon saint friends in both races who have a close relationship with him, and some are even the heirs of the demon lord.

Niu Youfu has a lava bloodline, and the lava spirit essence is an excellent medicine for him to improve his qualifications, which can help him purify his bloodline, and it is related to his promotion to a high-level demon saint, and the effect is far beyond that of others, and he has also released words and vowed to take down the lava spirit essence.

The other person is called the Fire Walker, the specific name of the Fire Walker is not very clear, only that this person has a rare fire spirit body, it is a famous loose cultivation in the desert, two hundred years ago, it was already the existence of the peak of the Demon Saint.

About eighty years ago, the Fire Walker explored a certain ancient ruin, accidentally obtained the inheritance of a certain great power, and obtained a complete Holy Rank Extreme Fire Attribute Mental Method.

It wasn't until a few years ago that he successfully broke through the barrier and reappeared in front of people, although his cultivation did not break through to the level of the Venerable, he became more and more unfathomable, and the powerhouses of the same level as him would feel a faint oppression in front of him.

In private, there are even many cultivators who refer to the Fire Walker as the Hidden Venerable, as the name suggests, he is the strongest person under the two Venerables in Shacheng, and the two Venerables also have an equal attitude towards the Fire Walker on the bright side.

Originally, with the inheritance obtained, the Fire Walker should have cultivated to a higher realm, but somehow fell into a bottleneck and was unable to break through, and the news of this auction of the lava spirit essence came out, and he also faintly revealed his intention to participate in the auction.

Although the Fire Walker is a helpless casual cultivator, he can be so lucky to meet the powerful inheritance, his wealth is unimaginable, and his own strength cannot be underestimated, if he really wants to participate in the auction, he is definitely the most difficult opponent in this trip.

Secretly keeping the two of them in mind, and not finding another threat for the time being, the old man in the robe checked the place of residence of the two and their recent itinerary, preliminarily determined the distance of their own return and back, and made proper arrangements.

Immediately afterward, according to the information he obtained, he recorded all the animal skin coupons in his hand from several gangs of gangsters near Shacheng and the famous black forces in the desert area, and eliminated those stragglers who were not on a large scale.

In the desert area with a radius of 100,000 miles, there are a total of five bandit villages where the demon saint sits

, three are far away from Shacheng, two are just outside Shacheng, and among the three gangs of bandits far away from Shacheng, two of them are coming towards Shacheng, wanting to fish in troubled waters.

Two bandit cottages close to Shacheng, one is doing "trading" tens of thousands of miles away at this time, and the other is gathering strength, and is also preparing to take advantage of the time when Shacheng auctions off the lava spirit essence to catch cicadas and make a big fortune.

On the animal skin roll of the old man in the Taoist robe, only the names of the three bandits who wanted to do it in Shacheng were left, and a red cross was made behind the name, calling Chihu and the others to his side and handing them the animal skin roll.

If you can smoothly follow the auction process and get the lava essence in a normal way, it is naturally the best situation, but everything is not as simple as the plan, and all kinds of uncertain factors will affect the result, so you must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The various plans made by the old man in the robe were to prevent the lava spirit essence from falling into the hands of others after he succeeded, and also to ensure that the lava spirit essence changed hands several times and still fell into his hands.

The next day, Chihu and Liu Yi left the camp and each took away thirty peak demon kings, and the old man in the Taoist robe also left at noon, and also took away twenty peak demon kings, and only Nanshan and Yuwo were left in the camp, as well as nineteen high-level demon kings.

Soon after, a piece of news came to Shacheng, causing the whole city to shake and carnival day and night, the two largest bandits and horse thieves in the desert were ambushed on the way to Shacheng, and were destroyed by mysterious forces.

The team of 200 people was wiped out in half a day, and even the leader of the demon saint was not spared, and the tattered corpse fell on the Gobi Desert, which happened to be found by the passing demon clan, and only a small number of people who stayed in the base camp escaped the catastrophe.

At the same time, some people noticed that there was an abnormality, and the rogues entrenched outside the sand city did not have anyone in or out for several days, and they could only see scavenging vultures circling in the distance, passing through the sky above the cottage in groups.

It wasn't until someone ventured into the cottage that they saw that there was a mess all over the village, and nearly a thousand people in the village, regardless of men, women, and children, had become rotting corpses, pecked by vultures to the point that only white bones remained, and the head of the demon saint of the leader of the rogue was placed in front of the door of the main hall.

In a few days, the five gangs of bandits who dominated the desert, two of the main forces were exterminated, and the other gang was wiped out by the whole clan, and they were killed cleanly.

The disaster struck suddenly, and the two races that controlled Sand City were also restless, and sent teams to the scene of the tragedy one after another, hoping to find any clues, but they never found anything.

After a few more days of trembling and trembling, and never hearing the news of the destruction of any clan, the hearts of the people in Shacheng finally let go, and then they were filled with all kinds of excitement, because the day of auctioning the lava spirit essence was coming......

The old man in the Taoist robe left in the morning of the same day, and returned again at dusk, and only eighteen of the twenty demon kings he led, all of his injuries were brought with injuries, and he personally took action to solve them

The Demon Saint and the Demon King.

The accompanying twenty demon kings are only responsible for solving the big demons of the Yuan Dan Realm, and those unarmed ordinary people, but the other party is too numerous and powerful, and even rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention the wise demon clan.

Those who were not afraid of death rushed up, and even the demon king folded two, but it was also within the tolerance of the old man in the robe, five days before the auction opened, Liu Yi and Chihu also returned smoothly, and the sixty demon kings they brought with them were only forty-three when they returned.

Liu Yi and Chihu are not demon venerables after all, they are not as big as the old man in the Taoist robe, more than a dozen peak demon kings who are dying and struggling, and then teaming up with the demon saint who risked their lives, it is enough to make them anxious, and the remaining ordinary demon kings need to be handed over to others to deal with, and the casualties are naturally relatively large.

The hundred demon kings brought out broke off twenty without waiting for the auction to start, and the rest were all injured, but the old man in the Taoist robe felt that there was no problem, those demon kings died well, showing their value, which made him feel gratified.

Got rid of the three who wanted to fish in troubled waters in advance, and the danger of leaving was reduced by thirty percent, and the time for the auction was approaching, Venerable Mei also told a few people about the remaining plans, and made specific arrangements.

Everyone rested in the camp for another three days, and the old man in the Taoist robe did not hesitate to consume a large amount of elixir to restore all the demon kings to their peak state, and the night before the auction began, all left the temporary camp, and no one left.

Because he couldn't decide where he finally belonged, the old man in the robe decided to divide his troops into three ways, led by Liu Yi and Chihu respectively, twenty demon kings, guarding the only way for the fire walker and Niu Youfu to leave, if they were finally succeeded by those two, they would try their best to drag them and wait for the support of the old man in the robe.

Niu Youfu, a mere mid-level demon saint, said that even if he invited his demon saint friends to help, he would not be the opponent of the Red Tiger at the peak of the demon saint, and it was a little dangerous to deal with Liu Yi of the Fire Walker, but the purpose was only to delay time, there was no need to fight to the death, and it would be no big deal.

Nanshan Yuwo led the remaining forty demon kings, hiding at the gate of the sand city, always paying attention to the situation inside and outside the city, ready to support the other two teams at any time, if the lava spirit essence is obtained by any black horse, it will be handed over to them to deal with.

The terrifying old man in the Dao robe entered the sand city alone to participate in the auction, and if he could successfully obtain the lava spirit essence, he would send a signal to leave the sand city directly, and join the other three teams at the camp outside the city to leave together.

The stealth team was separated outside the sand city, the four demon saints left according to the instructions, and went to the designated place to set up an ambush, and the old man in the Taoist robe entered the city alone, found an ordinary inn, sat in the room, and quietly waited for tomorrow's auction.

It was night, in the dead of night, the moon and stars were scarce, the lights of the sand city were dim, and everything was silent, he wanted to rest well for half a night and adjust to the best state, but as long as he thought of the lava spirit essence and touched the animal skin bag in his arms, he couldn't calm down for a long time......

When the plan is in progress......
