The South Underworld City is a city of cultivation, and although it has a city lord, it does not have its own army like other secular cities. The people who usually manage the affairs of the South Underworld are all the children of the three major families in the South Underworld City. For example, in the four gates of the South Underworld City now, there are several cultivators of the Primordial Realm who are maintaining order.

There is no need to pay crystal coins to enter and exit the Southern Underworld City, and these low-level cultivators are guarding the city gate, and many times they are just pretending. The masters of the convergence period of the three major families in the South Underworld City will take turns in the South Underworld City from time to time, and in fact, no one dares to cause trouble in the South Underworld City.

The walls of the South Underworld City are as high as ten zhang, and there is a watchtower about a height above the city gates on all sides. At this moment, on top of one of the watchtowers, two long-bearded old men were talking casually.

An old man said with a smile: "Brother Li, I heard that Nangong Min Daoyou of the Nangong family came out of retreat a few days ago, and it is said that he is practicing a certain advanced technique, and he said that within ten years, the technique will not be successful, and he will never leave the customs." Min Daoyou is already a master of the Triple Heaven of Crystal, with his cultivation, I don't know what kind of profound technique it is, and he actually wants him to retreat for ten years!"

The old man's face sank slightly, and he said unhappily: "Brother Song, you and I have been friends for many years, and we are like brothers and sisters.

"Where, where, Brother Li is serious. The old man surnamed Song arched his hand to the old man surnamed Li, put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Since Brother Li is so straightforward, then Song will make it clear." It is said that Nangong Min chased and killed several monks who came to Fang Market to trade in Fang City a few days ago, but was ambushed outside the city and has been killed, I don't know if this news is accurate?"

The Taoist surnamed Li sighed, lowered his voice, and said: "Nangong Min didn't see anyone in his life, he didn't see a corpse in his death, in my opinion, ten of them have already fallen." ”

Nangong Min was ambushed and killed a few days ago, although he claimed to be in retreat. But the three major families are in close harmony, such a major event can be hidden from outsiders, where can it be hidden from the three major families? This old man surnamed Song is named Song Xiaogeng, and he is an elder of the Song family, one of the three major families in the Southern Underworld City, and his cultivation realm has reached the realm of the third heaven of Jujing. The old man he called Brother Li was the elder of the Li family, one of the three major families, named Li Cunyong, who was also a cultivator of the Triple Heaven of Jujing.

The interests of the three major families are related, but there are also fights in secret, but this Song Xiaogeng and Li Cunyong are two outliers in the three families, the two have known each other for decades, but they treat each other with sincerity, and they are a pair of friends who know each other irreversibly.

Song Xiaogeng frowned and said, "Actually, our Song family also received a message early, saying that the few monks chased and killed by Nangong Min were only cultivators in the marrow washing period. It's just a master of the marrow washing period, how can he let him fall? It's because I feel that this matter is strange, and I'm afraid it may not be true. ”

"There is indeed something strange in this matter, but there is no doubt that Nangong Min was ambushed and fell. Li Cunyong shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with my Li family, and the dispute between those two cultivators and the deacon of Fang City is largely due to the fact that an unsuccessful disciple of our Li family is Li Xin, who is known as the 'Third Prince'. ”

Li Cunyong shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "Our three major families rose in the Southern Underworld City hundreds of years ago, and their original intention was to ensure the peace of one party. It's just that hundreds of years later, everyone has forgotten this purpose, and they just regard this land within a radius of thousands of miles as their own forbidden luan. I also asked Li Xin why the incident started, although he spoke in a rambling and untruthful manner, but I also heard that he was bullying the other party with his own identity, which caused this incident. Those two cultivators were indeed only cultivators in the marrow washing period, and Li Xin also had a relationship with them in the spiritual realm, and I heard that they came from a small sect called 'Qingxu Sect'. ”

Song Xiaogeng frowned and said: "Two cultivators in the marrow washing period, where can they kill Nangong Min? But whether they killed it or not, Nangong Min disappeared because of chasing these two people, it seems that this 'Qingxu Sect' is afraid that it will be destroyed by Nangong." ”

Li Cunyong said: "After the incident, the Nangong family tried their best to investigate the origin of this small sect, and with their strength, I am afraid that this Qingxu Sect has been found out by them. If it weren't for the opening of this auction conference, they wouldn't be able to pull away, I think they would have poured out of the nest and destroyed that small sect. ”

Li Cunyong shook his head as he spoke, as if he was disapproving of the Nangong family's behavior of angering others. Because in the eyes of the two, the fall of Nangong Min could not have been done by those two disciples of the Qingxu Sect.

At this moment, a low-level cultivator dressed in deacon clothes flashed into the door, and saluted the two of them: "Two elders, there is someone making trouble at the west gate, and the juniors have been ordered to come and report to the two elders. ”

"Oh?"

Song Xiaogeng and Li Cunyong's brows furrowed slightly at the same time, now it is the auction conference of the Southern Underworld City that is about to be held, not only the masters of the three major families, but also the four major sects are gathered here, who dares to make trouble here?

The two of them were surprised, but their figures were not slow, and they spread their bodies almost at the same time and disappeared in place.

At the west gate of the South Underworld, Li Xiao was holding his arms and said coldly: "I'm here to participate in the auction of the South Underworld, which of you dares to stop me?"

Four cultivators surrounded Li Xiao in the middle from the four corners, these four cultivators were all in the intermediate realm of washing the marrow, and the four people looked at Li Xiao, their eyes were full of anger, but they didn't dare to move. In addition to the four of them, there were seven or eight low-level primordial realm cultivators. Li Xiao is no longer a rookie now, and looking at the logo on the chest of their clothes, he already knows that these are all members of the Nangong family.

There were also quite a few cultivators on the side, pointing at the two sides of the confrontation from afar.

"What a bold man! Could it be that the South Underworld is from your home, you can come and go if you want, and you can leave if you want. A cold snort suddenly came from mid-air, and then a figure roared, but it was a white-bearded old man with a gloomy face.

A powerful spiritual power fluctuation surged, and the cultivators in the distance retreated one after another, and even Li Xiao felt a very strong pressure. His heart jumped slightly, he couldn't see the cultivation of the old man in front of him, and he was obviously already in the crystallization stage.

Li Xiao was not afraid, Xiaoshan squatted on his shoulder, and his two eyes were also looking at this old man without fear.

Xiaoshan is armed with the blood of the demon spirit, and it is far stronger than the demon clan of the same level, and now its cultivation has reached the peak of quenching the body, although the old man in front of him is the cultivation of the concentrating stage, although it and Li Xiao may not be the opponent of the other party, but it is impossible for the other party to kill them here. With Li Xiao's speed, once he got his mind, this old man couldn't catch up at all. Moreover, the old ghost is still hidden in Li Xiao's body, once the old ghost sneaks up with a bloody ghost, it will not be difficult to kill this old man.

"Isn't the biennial auction in the South Underworld City all welcome everyone to participate? In this case, I naturally come and leave whenever I want, do I still need to inform the people of the Nangong family when I come to participate in this auction, is this auction in the South Underworld City held by your Nangong family?"

Long before coming to this auction, Li Xiao and the old ghost had already inquired about the situation of this auction from the mouths of Gu Yinan and Tu Wan Beast. The auction of this Southern Underworld City is jointly held by the four major sects, once every two years, and it is basically a grand gathering of cultivators and supernatural beings within a radius of thousands of miles.

The four major sects do not participate in the secular affairs of the South Underworld, but it does not mean that the four major sects have no interests in the South Underworld. The biennial auction is where the greatest interests of the four major sects lie, and it is precisely because of this that during the auction, it is forbidden to fight between the South Underworld City and the land within a radius of dozens of miles around the South Underworld City. Whether there is a personal enmity or not, it is not allowed to provoke during this period.

This rule has been enforced for hundreds of years since the auction was founded, and it is precisely because of this strict enforcement that the auction in the South of the City is as popular as it is today. In previous auctions, even many cultivators who had formed a deep enmity with the four major sects also came here to participate in the auction, and the four major sects also treated each other with the same courtesy. Of course, after the auction is over, it is unknown whether the four major sects will chase other people's butts and cut them.

"Boy, don't be temporary. Where did you lead Elder Nangong Min of our family? Tell me that if you come out with the ins and outs, the old man can consider giving you a good time, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the old man, don't blame the old man for cramping and skinning you, and burning your soul and refining your soul. The white-bearded old man said viciously with a gloomy face.

Since Nangong Min was killed outside the city, in the Nangong family, the image of Li Xiao and the old ghost has been remembered by the entire Nangong family. The image of a little monkey demon squatting on his shoulder is too distinctive, and Li Xiao did not deliberately hide his tracks. As soon as he saw Li Xiao, the disciples of the Nangong family who were guarding the door immediately notified the family.

Li Cunyong didn't guess right, after Nangong Min was killed, the Nangong family did their best to find out the strength of the Qingxu Sect, but unfortunately they tried their best but didn't care, as if this sect didn't exist at all. It is precisely because of this that the clansmen of the Nangong clan guarding the city gate are engrossed in paying attention to the flow of people entering and leaving, hoping to find clues.

This white-bearded old man's name is Nangong Rhetoric, and he is the brother of the killed Nangong Min, who has reached the realm of the fourth heaven of the Crystallization Period, and is also another elder in the Nangong family. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xiao, although he couldn't see Li Xiao's cultivation, but it was not uncommon for the Strange Continent to conceal his cultivation, and Li Xin had also seen Li Xiao in the spirit realm, so he knew that Li Xiao was only a cultivation in the marrow washing period at most, and he did not associate Nangong Min's death with him.

Li Xiao said coldly: "What if I don't say it?"

Nangong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious! The momentum around him also soared, he didn't think that Li Xiao had anything to do with Nangong Min's death, but he didn't expect that this little ant would dare to be disrespectful to himself.
