Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World
Chapter 55: The Fake Person in the Photo
The auction officially opened. The host in an evening gown gave a loud speech on the stage to create an exciting atmosphere. The backstage staff lined up the booths of all sizes in front of the entrance.
Ying Li glanced from the stands and saw that the appetizer was actually a group of demon slaves. They were collared, shackled on their hands and feet, and locked together in a huge iron cage.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Ying Li stop, Galantina also came forward curiously, and her face turned pale when she saw him.
Among these slaves, there are many snake demons like her, and the rest are weak beast-type demons among the demons. They have low magical talent and can only use the physique of beasts.
Now that the demons are in decline, Ying Li decides to save anyone he sees.
The host said a lot of fancy words, all of which were used to decorate his products, but Ying Li didn't listen and only cared about the final price.
"...Then, the starting price is: 10 million magic coins for one slave, 100 million magic coins for ten slaves!"
So expensive? Ying Li's first reaction was surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, it was a living thing, so it was natural that it was a little expensive.
"Twelve million!"
"One thousand two hundred and five!"
"Sixteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
……
The price kept getting higher and higher. Ying Li sighed. It was impossible to redeem them through formal channels. He had just made 200 million, but in an industry as lucrative as an auction, it was no different from 200.
He glanced at Galantina and saw that her eyes were burning, with the words "rob" and "kill" written on her face.
"When the auction is over, we'll go talk to the buyers. Let's go and take a look at those boxes."
Ying Li patted her shoulder and walked to the upper level first.
Arriving at the more luxuriously decorated area, there was a red carpet on the floor. At the door of each independent room stood two bodyguards in black suits and black sunglasses. They were all demon controllers, but their cultivation level was only at the Lingzi realm.
Galantina was rubbing her hands, eager to fight: "Let's beat them up and then go in!"
"No, let's talk it over first." Ying Li was still used to using courtesy before force.
The first pair of bodyguards who were visited by the two evil stars subconsciously felt that they were not friendly when they saw them, so they took out their guns and said bluntly:
"Show me the invitation or die!"
"Forehead……"
Ying Li frowned, while Galantina looked at him with an evil smile.
He didn't want to cause too much trouble, but he was prepared to give the other party a chance to live, but these guys were willing to throw themselves into the fire.
"It seems there is no way to say it nicely, so I can only say it badly."
The "Sea of Sparks" was spread to the box area along with the Nether Flame. All movement here was blocked by Ying Li. Of course, some of the demon riders naturally knew what was happening here.
"Oh? Someone wants to take action here."
In a private room, a fat monk was playing with the beauty beside him like a monk, while looking out the window with a pout.
"That guy...why does he look familiar?"
Elsewhere, there was a room full of Taoist priests in white robes. When the old man in the lead saw Ying Li, he felt that he looked familiar, but at the same time, he was secretly afraid.
The guests in the other rooms all had similar emotions towards Ying Li and Galantina, mainly fear and disgust, and were very suspicious of the official security of the auction. Several powerful people among them had already called to mobilize people.
The massacre took place in the dark corridor. Galantina killed every bodyguard without mercy. Ying Li had ordered that those who surrendered should be spared, but these people seemed to be brainwashed. Even though they knew they could not win, they were determined to stop the two men from entering the room.
After killing all the bodyguards and entering the first room, the wealthy businessman inside looked terrified, but still mustered up the courage to say:
"I, I am an important figure in the empire and the president of the Aiyue Association. You can't touch me!"
The two looked at each other, and Ying Li instructed Galantina, "Catch the people from the other rooms, and try not to kill them."
"Okay~"
After Galantina jumped away, Ying Li squatted down and stared at the other person's brow with his cold eyes that were as cold as ice for thousands of years.
Boundless fear surged into the rich businessman's heart. He broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over. He accidentally wet his pants without realizing it.
"I ask, you answer, and whether I kill you or not will depend on your performance." Ying Li said in a cold voice.
“I…you…you, you dare…you dare…dare to bluff me, I, I won’t…” The rich businessman’s voice became more and more trembling, and soon he became unable to speak straight.
"You're not afraid? Then I..."
"Don't! Don't do it. I, I... you, you ask first. If you have something to say... just say it nicely!"
Seeing Ying Li take out the Ghost Eclipse Sword and just about to pierce his thigh, he knelt down and kowtowed several times. People are still afraid of death, Ying Li smiled helplessly:
"Why bother?"
Ying Li asked the first question: "Who can enter this area?"
The wealthy businessman swallowed his saliva, and said as calmly as possible: "This... This is called the Special VIP Area. Only those who have received an invitation from the city lord can enter."
"City Lord? Isn't this the property of the Dream-Eating Sect? And what kind of people are eligible to send out invitations?" Ying Li asked.
"Um... the Dream Devouring Sect holds 31% of the shares, and the city lord is also a partner of the Dream Devouring Sect. As for the requirements... it's hard to say. For example, for me, it's because I hold 9% of the auction shares, and I also provided a lot of goods. As for the rest... I don't know."
Ying Li asked again: "Who is the city lord? Tell me all his information."
"Forehead…"
The rich businessman organized his words and said:
"His name is Xiao Bo. He is a daylight elf, a magician by profession, and a lieutenant general in the imperial army. His cultivation level is the eighth level of the demon general realm."
In order to save his life, the rich businessman told everything he knew and showed Ying Li a photo on his cell phone.
In addition to himself, there were also a number of sect leaders including Ban Yue from the Iron Blood Alliance and Xing Chu from the Hundred Beasts Sect. They were wearing formal attire, as if they were holding some kind of trade meeting.
The other unfamiliar faces should be the leaders or agents of the major sects. Among them, there were a few very unnatural faces that made Ying Li take a second look.
Those people were scattered in various corners of the photo and were not concentrated in one place.
What they have in common is that they have human faces, but extremely unnatural and uncomfortable expressions and facial features. They are not simply ugly, but distorted and deformed.
"Velanti..."
Ying Li remembered that this strange group of people was just Weilanti in disguise.
Since the Weilanti came from another world, their aesthetics are completely different from those of the demon world. They don’t have the concepts of symmetry and neatness in their understanding of appearance, and they don’t understand the meaning of each expression.
The disguised appearance is naturally very different from that of ordinary people. They are clearly human, but they do not look like humans, let alone gods. They have a nickname, "pseudo-humans".
"boom!"
At this moment, the door was rudely pushed open, and a fat ball with disheveled clothes appeared, crawling and falling in front of Ying Li.
Then a group of women who were also scantily clad and looked sad were pushed in, and the last one was Galantina, who looked triumphant and happy.
Behind her, followed a group of wealthy businessmen and politicians who looked desperate and dusty. Having just seen the photos, Ying Li recognized them at once.
"Ah! It's Lao Zhang? What are you doing?"
A wealthy businessman outside the door saw Ying Li and the people around him. He saw them looking at a group photo and suddenly became panicked.
We seldom take group photos, and the few times we did were all at important gatherings and were highly confidential. How could we show them to unidentified people?
Lao Zhang beside Ying Li sighed and said, "Alas! The situation is stronger than people, Lao Wang. Can you beat this master, or can you make Ban Yue appear here immediately?"
"Hmph! You coward! I, Old Li, look down on you!" Another wealthy businessman sneered at Old Zhang's betrayal.
The fat man rolled over and got up with an angry look on his face. He had a hooked nose, pointed ears, and rough gray-green skin. He was a troll.
The fat troll stared at Ying Li with a threatening look and said in a vicious tone:
"Little donor, are you the master of this female donor? I advise you to take care of yourself and release me quickly. If you do something stupid, the Dream Devouring Sect will not let you off."
"Dream-Eating Sect? Humph, you are the leader of Buddha Heart, right?" Ying Li gave him a kind smile.
"You...you know me? Who are you?"
Ying Li had just heard about this fat man who called himself a monk from Lao Zhang. The top management of the first demon sect in the northern continent was divided into eight groups, and their leaders were responsible to the sect master.
This Buddha Heart is one of the eight leaders, with the same cultivation as Galantina, and is also the first level of the Ghost King Realm. However, in this level, Galantina is already the first in the Demon Realm.
"This fat guy resisted the most fiercely. I had to beat him down." Galanthe clapped her hands and reported to Ying Li.
"Well, good job."
Ying Li gave a thumbs up, then dialed Jack's cell phone number, and soon the people from the Seven Deadly Sins arrived.
"No, no! Please don't hand me over to them, please!"
Lao Zhang panicked, and other wealthy businessmen also came to Ying Li and begged for his forgiveness.
"Hmph~ I seem to have only promised that I can let you go, but you corrupt officials have been the cancer of the country since ancient times. Save these words for when you are in jail!" Ying Li said coldly.
The next moment, he had removed the obstacles from the outside world and left with Galantina.
The desperate crowd was subdued one by one by the agents of the Seven Deadly Sins. In addition to Foxin, he was also taken away by Yingli. As for what...
“Ouch! It hurts—”
Fuxin was thrown to the ground fiercely. Yingli and Galantina sat safely in the two empty seats in the VIP area. Fuxin was asked to kneel there and not sit down.
"You...why are you again?"
When Tang Lan saw Ying Li, she subconsciously stood up from her seat and moved closer to Last.
When he saw the embarrassed Foxin, he was dumbfounded. Is this man really fearless?
Ying Li glanced at Tang Lan, and then noticed Last who was nodding at him with a smile. He hadn't noticed before that this person was also a Ghost King.
"Buying things? What? Are you going to treat me?" Ying Li said casually.
"you……"
Tang Lan was so angry that he stamped his feet but couldn't do anything to Ying Li. Not only did Rast beside him not help him out, he also took the initiative to greet Ying Li:
"Hello, Mr. Ying Li. I am Red Palace Rast Dracula. I wonder if you are interested in the treasure I'm auctioning now?"
"Oh?"
Ying Li took a closer look at him. This man was not in the group photo, but there were people from the Red Palace in it. He wondered what this Rast’s status in the Red Palace was. Did he know that there were traitors from Weilanti in his own sect?
"Hey! You want to give a gift too?"
Galantina asked loudly, intending to tease the other party, but unexpectedly the Lord of the Red Palace was serious.
"Of course, whichever one this beautiful lady likes, I'll treat you two."
"Hey you……"
Tang Lan looked at him in disbelief, but the other party gave him a cold look and said:
"I, Rast, love making friends. What's wrong with giving a friend a gift for meeting him?"
This person...
Ying Li did not sense any hostility from Rast, so after thinking about it, he decided to go along with the other party's wishes.
"We haven't been watching the auctions. Is there anything good to recommend? We need a medicine..."
He told Last about Binghe's symptoms. He had raided the Beast Gate before but had not found a suitable antidote. He only knew that a high-purity fire-attribute potion was needed.
Last: "Yes, there is. I just sold one. Do you know about the Fire Demon Crystal produced in Sandros Island? Various sects have gone there to mine it. Although the current production is insufficient, some people have used samples to make a potion called "Magic Crystal Solution."
"Where is it now? How do I get it?"
Ying Li asked immediately. Now the task entrusted by Lin Yuan had been settled.
Luster thought for a moment and replied:
"Behind the scenes of the auction, according to the rules, the items that were sold at auction cannot be sold privately. If you want to buy them, you have to wait until next month. Unless you have connections, you can only snatch them up."
"understood."
Ying Li responded simply, but he and Galantina smiled at each other, thinking: How did you know I wanted to rob?
"…Magic Weapon Seal, starting price: 300 million magic coins!"
"Ok?"
Ying Li looked at the store. What good thing could be so expensive? He found that the money he earned from running around was not worth spending in this place.
Last and Tang Lan also stared at the stage intently, and saw that the thing was in a crystal cube, a glittering purple mark floating in the air.
Ying Li carefully examined it through the dark visual world and found that this thing was just a spell, preserved by a specially processed crystal display stand.
But the content contained in it is not simple. The so-called magic weapon mark is equivalent to a high-tech magic weapon storage device, which can compress a magic weapon into a rune state and store it on the body.
For example, a magic sword can become a mark engraved on your hand, so you don't need to carry a scabbard. It can not only reduce the weight, but also achieve the effect of surprise in battle.
However, high-level magic weapons such as the Phantom Sword can be completely integrated with the owner's magic power and can be contained in the body.
However, I still have a magic weapon that has not been forged yet, and maybe I can use it.
Seeing Ying Li's thoughts, Rast immediately stood up and said loudly: "Six hundred million!"
As soon as this number came out, the whole place fell silent. Some people who were about to bid also sat back silently. Tang Lan looked at him as if he were a fool. Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this, right?
"Six hundred million once, six hundred million twice..."
As the host began to confirm the session, Rast turned his head and looked at Ying Li and said:
"Mr. Ying Li, if you want this thing, I'll give it to you. Let's be friends."
Ying Li was slightly surprised, but soon said seriously: "Okay. In this case, I will also give you a chance. You are from the royal family of the blood clan, right?"
He never likes to owe favors to others, and will never take advantage of others for nothing. Seeing Ying Li's determined eyes, Rast knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he said naturally:
"Yes, indeed. Lord Ying Li has good eyesight!"
I once had a subordinate named Cain. He was the patriarch of the blood clan at the time and a man who had practiced blood magic to perfection.
I don't know if he is still safe now. I can go to the current blood clan territory to find him for you and give you some special training. I will definitely be able to help you break through to the second level of the Ghost King Realm.
"what?!"
Ying Li's words made Last feel like he was struck by lightning. He was so surprised that even the gentle and polite him showed a dumbfounded and funny expression. Was the man in front of him really not joking with him?
Oh! He still didn't know what his status was in the vampire race, nor did he know the significance of the Red Palace.
"Well... Lord Yingli, you are truly a god. How true are what you said just now?" Last swallowed and asked seriously.
"100%. I never boast. I always do what I say."
Ying Li answered without hesitation, and in the eyes of others, he was just bragging seriously.
"Then... Your Excellency, you know that the current Red Palace is the main gathering place of the vampires. I, the Lord of the Red Palace, am the young patriarch of the vampires. The patriarch, Laertesius Dracula, is my father and the Marshal of the Eternal Night Empire Air Force."
Ying Li shook his head: "I don't know, and it has nothing to do with me. Hmm? I want that thing, Buddha's heart, buy it for me."
"You're dreaming!" Foxin, who was forced to kneel down, shouted angrily.
"Hey? Is this the Buddha's heart?"
Rast looked over and saw that this guy was captured to be used as a wallet? The main reason was that Foxin was fat to begin with, and now he was beaten so badly that he was disfigured that even the two demons didn't recognize him.
"Ha! Looks like your skin is itchy again!"
Galantina stepped forward and kicked, almost kicking Foxin off the platform. Fortunately, Yingli's "Shadow Lock" arrived in time.
A key was being auctioned off in the audience. Ying Li recognized it. Wasn't it the "Key to the Secret Chamber of the Hefu Pyramid"? It was the reward mentioned in the previous commission to kill the Scorpion King Nakas.
The commission was indeed not completed, but I haven't given up yet. The publisher actually took the initiative to breach the contract and sell the things that belonged to me? No, I have to snatch them away!
"It doesn't matter, I will take action."
Fuxin didn't expect that Yingli would let him go. But the murderous look on his face didn't seem like he was going to have a good end.
