His opponent was alone, but his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage.
The Ning siblings were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it was no wonder they were so afraid. A Golden Core cultivator could kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the blink of an eye.
If the opponent went crazy, he could very well kill the siblings on the spot before the city guards arrived.
As for the consequences of fighting in太平 (Taiping) City, it would no longer matter.
Once people were dead, what good would it do even if the other party was punished in the end?
Therefore, no matter how good Chen Changsheng's words sounded, the siblings did not dare to be careless, constantly guarding against the enemy hiding in the dark.
If it were Chen Changsheng himself, he would not entrust his life to an unfamiliar city either.
"Come with me, the auction house is not far ahead."
Chen Changsheng immediately led the siblings away quickly.
The Golden Core cultivator followed quietly behind, thinking his movements were silent, but he had long been seen through by Chen Changsheng.
The closer they got to the auction house, the larger the crowd became, and the surrounding area was bustling with activity.
After the siblings followed Chen Changsheng into the magnificent auction venue, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially the aura of cultivation exuded by the experts in the venue, which was very reassuring.
The auction required an admission fee. A high admission fee allowed one to enjoy private room service, and the higher the price, the more luxurious the private room.
The Ning siblings honestly paid the fee and received the most ordinary auction seats in the hall, and they couldn't help but wonder why Chen Changsheng didn't have to pay the admission fee. Were residents of Taiping City exempt?
"Thank you very much for your guidance, may I ask for your name?" Ning Jing asked softly.
She noticed that the attitude of the people in the venue was extremely respectful, which must be related to Chen Changsheng. This person was not just a resident of Taiping City.
Combining the fact that Chen Changsheng was standing at the entrance of the Dao Treasure Pavilion at the beginning, could he be a disciple of the Dao Treasure Pavilion?
It is said that there are three departments in Taiping City: the Demon Suppression Division, which slays demons and eliminates evil; the Dao Treasure Pavilion, which refines the four treasures of auxiliary paths; and the City Lord's Mansion, which guards the safety of the city.
The disciples of the three departments are all extremely respected and warmly loved by the people and cultivators of the city.
"My name is Chen Changsheng. I have a little power in Taiping City and can provide you with some convenience."
Chen Changsheng looked at the siblings and smiled, "Now that we have arrived at the auction, can you tell me about your situation? Perhaps my Taiping City can easily resolve it. Of course, this is on the premise that you join Taiping City."
If the other party did not join Taiping City, he would not interfere.
Once they left Taiping City, their life and death would be none of his business.
"Jingmei, I feel that this person is not simple, and may be able to help us get rid of the Lan family's pursuit," Ning Zun transmitted his voice through true energy.
Ning Jing pondered slightly, and was about to speak when a commotion suddenly broke out in the venue.
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the venue, and exclamations followed.
"The people from Yunyue Academy in the Nine Dragon Domain are here."
"The Ma family, Su family, Lan family, Meng family and other families from Tianlan Domain have also arrived at the same time. It seems that the news of a treasure at the Taiping Auction is true."
"The Canglan Sect of the Holy Domain, the Nine Revolutions Gate of the Star Domain, the Godly Hidden Alliance of the Five Thunder Domain..."
"With so many sects and factions represented here, the auction is likely to fetch a sky-high price!"
"That's for sure. The auction in Chaos Demon City is a typical example. Just the demon and evil cultivators competing for it fetched an ancient inheritance worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones, not to mention the righteous auction with more people. The final auction price of the ancient inheritance will only be higher."
As countless cultivators spoke, a group of bright and beautiful figures walked into the venue entrance.
A dozen young and beautiful men and women, clustered around an old man, exuding an astonishing and terrifying aura of cultivation. The invisible aura made the cultivators in the entire venue feel suppressed.
Many cultivators' pupils shrank sharply, recognizing the identity of the visitors.
"It's the delegation from the Divine Envoy Kingdom! I saw the beautiful Sixth Princess and her several imperial brothers."
"There are also representatives from the Dark Star Tower and the Ruihai Chamber of Commerce!"
"That person is... the Holy Maiden of the Bixiao Sect in the Taihang Domain?"
"Oh my god, there's also Fairy Luo of the Myriad Hands Palace. She's so beautiful."
"Didn't you notice that they all seem to be centered around that old man? What is that person's identity?"
The cultivators were talking about it, but when it came to the old man surrounded by stars, everyone looked blank.
They could recognize the younger generation, but they didn't know the older generation of powerful cultivators.
Only some elderly powerful cultivators, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, instantly narrowed their pupils and hurriedly waved their sleeves, using true energy to block the mouths of their juniors from discussing.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, dozens of powerful cultivators with cultivation no lower than the Nascent Soul stage walked forward with horrified expressions and cupped their fists at the old man.
The old man was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a gentle smile, no wrinkles on his face, and exuding the unique handsomeness and charm of a middle-aged man, but his demeanor revealed the old age and simplicity of an elder.
This person is the strongest person in the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, the Integration Stage powerhouse, Zhuo Heng!
"Sitting in Taiping City!?"
Hearing this, the cultivators in the venue were all shocked and couldn't help but gasp.
Before the crowd of powerful cultivators could ask, Zhuo Heng had already passed them by, and Chen Qianqian and others followed closely behind.
A group of people marched forward mightily, becoming the focus of the audience.
When they passed Chen Changsheng, Luo Liuxi and others smiled and nodded at him, while Chen Qianqian asked in confusion, "Changsheng, why did you run into the venue too?"
Chen Changsheng had just chatted with her privately, saying that he was investigating demons and evil spirits outside the venue, but in the blink of an eye, he ran into the venue.
"Giving directions to people, and also seeing if any demons and evil spirits have mixed into the auction."
Chen Changsheng replied with a smile, his eyes turned to Zhuo Lao, who was in the lead, and he cupped his fists and said, "Senior Zhuo, nice to meet you."
Zhuo Heng's smile was like a spring breeze, and he nodded slightly: "Nice to meet you, little friend Changsheng, your foundation is good. The future power of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage may fall into your hands."
These words were somewhat meaningful.
Chen Changsheng instantly understood that Zhuo Lao must have seen something in him, otherwise, what qualifications would the power of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage have to fall into his hands?
Even if the members of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage take turns serving as the Dao Lord, it would not be the turn of a small Golden Core stage cultivator.
So the focus is actually on the word 'future'.
Chen Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't understand the hint in Zhuo Lao's words: "Thank you for Senior Zhuo's recognition. Room number one is on the third floor, let me take you there."
Chen Qianqian smiled and said: "Sister Luo will take us, no need to trouble you to lead the way. Instead, the safety of Taiping City needs to be entrusted to you."
Chen Changsheng nodded with a smile, sent away the members of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, and then turned to look at the Ning siblings behind him.
He saw that Ning Jing and Ning Zun were staring at him with their mouths wide open, stunned in place as if struck by lightning, their eyes full of shock and doubt.
