Chapter 1077

(Unedited)



Dawn, the sky is still a bit dark, but on the horizon, one could already see the light coming from the sun as it chases away the darkness that covered the whole sky.

Last night, the two silver moons were not able to show themselves as the sky is covered with thick dark clouds which gives out an ominous feeling to those under them. Flashes of lightning could be seen from afar and the sound of rumbling thunder reverberates through the air.

It is said that lightning and thunder are caused by those Ki practitioners trying to break through to another level.

It is said that once a person reaches the threshold of a particular Ki realm, he would be experiencing tribulation from the heavens, and this is the cause of lightning and thunder.

But of course, this is only in the stories.

At this time, two figures are currently walking on the main path connecting the town of Ogden to the Ogden Southern Gate village. One is a man with a strange face and a long scar on his face, while the other is a long-faced woman.

With one look, one could tell that the two have experienced something horrible on the road and that the faces have been somewhat disfigured by their encounter with the beasts in the forest. But even though that is the case, with the strange aura around their body, one would not dare mess with the two.

"Hey, Big Sister Ya… I mean, Flower… Are you sure that this is going to work?" the man said while shifting his gaze at the woman beside him.

"Just act naturally, okay? With the rune spell, I created using what you've taught me, I am able to do this… Plus, this is my artistry, so do not complain… Just go with the flow and trust me, okay?" she said with a proud gait.

"Sigh… Are you really still the same cry baby last night?" the man said with a smirk?

"Ugh… Come on… Ma… Master. I promise to be of help, so this is my way of helping…" she said with a pitiful gaze.

"Agh… This change in your attitude is making me dizzy… Anyway, whatever…" The man said while waving one of his hands.

The woman happily skipped beside him like a little girl.

"Hey…"

"Aw… Sorry, I forgot…" she said as she sheepishly smile and return to her previous action of looking like an expert.

Soon, the two saw the village.

But the expression of the man turned a bit dumbfounded.

"This… is this still a village? How could this be a village? This should be called a town…" He said with his jaw rolling on the ground.

"Yeah, I agree… This is the first time that I truly admire the magnificence of this place…" she muttered.

In front of them is a village-sized area surrounded by tall walls. But the only difference between a village and this place is not the area, but the buildings inside those walls. The buildings look tall and it seems that most of them are 3 to 5 stories in height.

Plus the design of the buildings is a bit unique. It's like concrete tree trunks without the leaves and branches. The brown color of the buildings could make one think that they are about to enter a sea of sliced trees made of brown concrete. It is a weird but at the same time a novel feeling.

The two soon reached the checkpoint where there are guards checking every people coming inside and out of the village.

When the two were seen by the guard, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of his saliva. He did not know why, but the two in front of him are giving off an expression of a poisonous viper. If he is not careful, then he would die just like that.

"Hell… Hello! Wel… Welcome to Ogden Southern Gate village!" the guard greeted.

"Ummm... We are here to trade." The man replied.

The guard dares not hold the two back.

When they were a bit of a distance from the gate, the two suddenly turn into an alley, and then after looking around, they heave a sigh of relief.

"That… that was new…" the man said while scratching his head.

The woman, on the other hand, patted her ċhėst as if she was really nervous.

"Whew… It's was scary… I thought my knees are going to buckle…" she said while leaning on the wall.

Suddenly, the expression of the man turned solemn as he waves his hand to catch something flying towards them.

"This is troublesome…" he whispered after catching the palm-size daggers.

The woman, on the other hand, was a bit surprised. But one of her hands is now holding a rune-filled bone array as if by reflex.

The two people are Xin Ja and Yao Xue who has changed their faces. Yao Xue seems to have a knack for changing appearances. When she first saw and heard the rune array combination, she was immediately elated.

That's why when the family knew that someone wanted her to be his fiancée, they were all elated.

Of course, as this is a family venture, hence they all agreed to it without a second thought. At least in this way she could be useful.

But she truly likes to care for herself. And the rune array combination is truly something that she is really interested in.

For the two to be able to blend in and at the same time intimidate others so as not to cause them trouble, Yao Xue decided on their look.

But instead, on their first day in the village, they have already encountered something really troublesome.

"Hehe… Two ugly freaks… If you do not want to be hurt… give me all your valuables." A lanky-looking fellow said while waving another palm-sized throwing knife in his right hand.

"Hmm… This might not be bad. Maybe they know where the hidden auction house is. The last time, I visited this place, I have only heard of the auction house, but had not really gone there. Maybe this time, I could find what I am looking for…" Xin Ja muttered.

"Stupid, ugly, mother…"

Pa!

"Damn it! You've got guts, ugly man! Let's see if you can handle us!" One of the two companions of the lanky-looking fellow shouted while brandishing their swords.

All of the thugs in the alleyway are just 1st level Ki fighters, so how could fight against someone who is able to defeat someone above him?

In another word, the thugs were beaten easily by Xin Ja.

He then grabs the leather armor of the lanky-looking guy and asked.

"Would you mind telling me where the auction house is?"

When the lanky-looking fellow heard this, he suddenly sneered. Then, he clenches his fist and suddenly punches towards Xin Ja guy in front of him.

But how could not Xin Ja see that punch coming?

He did not punch back, but instead, a needle appears on his finger and suddenly pricks towards one of the armpit acupoints of the guy.

When the needle was inserted, the man was frozen in place.

"Alright, who's next?" Xin Ja said with an evil grin on his face.

After getting what he wanted from the thugs, he left them in the alley while squirming in pain. He did not kill them as he did not want to be troubled while in the village. However, since they wanted his life, he is also not a saint to spare them the punishment… his way of punishment.

After the two left the alleyway, they are already headed towards a particular building in the village.

Not long later, someone found the thugs in the alleyway and quickly helped them to the village's infirmary.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and Yao Xue have already arrived in the auction plaza. In this place, there are no bidding wars, once could buy anything they like as long as they are able to pay the right price. Auctions only happen when there are Shen realm artifacts or items.

So today, the auction plaza is only selling some stuff, they have in the stalls everywhere.

While looking around, Xin Ja suddenly discovered something. But before he could approach that item, Yao Xue suddenly grabs his hand.

"I think we are in trouble…" she said while pointing at the entrance of the auction plaza where there are several village guards asking some people.

When she noticed that the person the guards are asking pointed in their direction.. Her expression turned pale in fright.
