Chapter 1803: 1803




"Trust and rules are of the utmost importance on the Master Teacher Continent, so the principles imposed on the appraisers are much higher . On the other hand, the Spirit Tribe is a largely lawless area, so appraisers here tend to lie and exaggerate . As a result, the prices that they come up with are unreliable . How distasteful!" The elderly Ancient Sage shook his head, seemingly displeased with such circumstances .

The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe lived in an environment that could be described as 'survival of the fittest' . Most appraisers had devoted their lives to the pursuit of knowledge in order to refine their craft, and they were highly dependent on their eye of discernment and reputation for a living . In terms of strength, they could only be said to be subpar at best .

If their client was an ordinary cultivator, they could still speak the truth . However, if they were standing before powerful experts, speaking the truth could very well cost them their life .

After all, who knew when an expert would fly into a rage and slay them in the fit of their anger?

There were plenty of cases where powerful cultivators suffered a lapse in judgement while purchasing an expensive artifact, only to have their foolishness pointed out while consulting an appraiser . Often, the honest words of the appraiser would incur the wrath of the powerful cultivator, thus inducing the powerful cultivator to vent their anger on the appraiser .

As such, it had become a custom for appraisers to mince their words when making an evaluation .

Despite that, there were still many appraisers around due to market demand . Without appraisers to value artifacts, the market would swiftly descend into chaos .

"Did you inform them that we are interested in finding out the real value of those artifacts instead of inflated numbers?" the elderly Ancient Sage asked .

"I have made sure to relay those words to every single one of the appraisers, but there are still a handful who jotted down ridiculously inflated figures in their valuation!" the middle-aged man reported .

"Drag those people out and execute them . I trust that the other appraisers will know what's best for them once we make an example out of them!" The elderly Ancient Sage harrumphed as his killing intent burst forth .

In an instant, it felt as if the area had been plunged into the midst of a snowy mountain . Even the massive tree that Zhang Xuan was hiding on swiftly withered as a result of the overwhelming aura .

The might of Ancient Sage experts was not just for show . Even a mere sliver of their strength was enough to place one in great discomfort .

This aura… Zhang Xuan's heart jolted .

There was indeed a wintry edge to the aura emanated by the Ancient Sage's aura, but it was not due to coldness . Rather, there was an eerie undertone to the aura, reminiscent of the netherworld .

Such an aura was not foreign to Zhang Xuan, and he only knew of one occupation that was capable of exerting such an aura .


The soul oracles!

Could the elderly Ancient Sage possibly be a soul oracle?

"Hmm?"

As Zhang Xuan noticed the anomaly, the elderly Ancient Sage seemed to have noticed something amiss in his surroundings as well, and a momentary frown crept onto his forehead .

Noticing the anomaly on the elderly Ancient Sage's expression, the middle-aged man asked, "Ancient Sage Mo Ling, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing much . " Ancient Sage Mo Ling waved his hand . "You can return for the time being . Do what I have just said . Kill a couple of appraisers and make an example of them to the others . The others should fall in line fast enough!"

"I understand!" The middle-aged man nodded .

He quickly turned around and left the area .

After the middle-aged man left, the elderly Ancient Sage remained on the spot for quite a while, not moving at all .

Hiding in the tree, Zhang Xuan's lips could not help but twitch in worry . Have I been noticed?Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

He did not dare claim that his ability to conceal himself was unparalleled, but with his Soul Depth exceeding 30 . 0, even Ancient Sages would have trouble sensing his presence .

A brief moment of bewilderment earlier had caused a slight fluctuation in his soul energy, but he had suppressed it quick enough . Under normal circumstances, not even Sovereign Chen Ling would have noticed his presence through something as subtle as that . Was it really possible for this elderly Ancient Sage to have noticed his presence?

Time ticked by slowly, but the elderly Ancient Sage remained rooted to the spot . It might just have been Zhang Xuan's imagination, but it felt like the spirit of the elderly Ancient Sage was locked upon him . He realized that if he did not flee, he might not have the chance to do so in the future .

Flee!

Without any hesitation, he immediately dived right into the ground .



"Lost patience, eh?"

Seeing that Zhang Xuan had finally moved, the elderly Ancient Sage, Mo Ling, suddenly opened his eyes, and a brilliant light shone forth from them, almost as if a crack of dawn illuminating the dark sky . Following which, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground .

Boom!

The earth immediately began shuddering as ripples of energy diffused beneath his feet like water undulations .

At that moment, Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit came into contact with the ground . He should have been able to dive underground with absolute ease, but he felt as if he had crashed into a metal board . The energy ripples were warding him away, causing him to fall weakly to the ground instead .

Seeing that a casual stomp from the other party was more than enough to block his passageway, Zhang Xuan's face warped awfully . "This is really bad…"

He was a simple soul . In order to hide his presence, he had not brought the Infernal Blacksaber, Vicious, the Dragonbone Divine Spear, and the rest with him . If the elderly Ancient Sage cornered him, he would no doubt die .

Hu!

Knowing that the surface had been sealed and that it was nigh impossible for him to escape underground, Zhang Xuan immediately shot into the air instead .

"If I allow you to escape, I will really be a failure of an Ancient Sage!" the elderly Ancient Sage scoffed as he raised his hand .

Hula!

A chilling aura swiftly shrouded the massive tree . Before Zhang Xuan could soar into the air, his Primordial Spirit froze once more . It was as if he had fallen into a bog and was unable to move .

"Break!" Zhang Xuan raised his finger and tapped it lightly .

Hula!

The surrounding space rippled, and cracks started to form on it .

Previously, he had still needed the power of the Dragonbone Divine Spear in order to break space and form a spatial passageway . However, with his cultivation reaching Sempiternal realm consummation, he could do it easily even with just a tap of his finger .



"Humph!"

Ancient Sage Mo Ling's lips curved upward, almost as if he had expected Zhang Xuan to make such a move . He raised his palms together and clapped them together midair .

The cracks in space swiftly mended back together . At the same time, the surrounding space swiftly fortified itself to the point that it was as tough as steel . Despite being able to tear open the space easily a moment ago, Zhang Xuan found that he was unable to even faze it anymore .

The strength of an Ancient Sage was simply too great . Without Vicious and the Infernal Blacksaber, Zhang Xuan really did not stand a chance .

Flaws!

Knowing that he could really lose his life if this continued, Zhang Xuan did not dare hold back .

Huala!

The Library of Heaven's Path jolted a little, and an additional book materialized in it .

With a hurried tap, the wisdom contained within the book flowed into Zhang Xuan's mind .

In the blink of an eye, the flaws of the sealed space appeared in his mind .

I see… Zhang Xuan nodded in realization .

The other party was using soul oracle arts to seal the surrounding space . Even though it seemed tough and impenetrable, the truth was that there were many openings .

Thus, he retreated slightly from the air before tapping his feet lightly on the space beneath him .

Huala!

The space that he had just tapped on lightly was where one of the flaws of the soul oracle art was located . Cracks began spreading throughout the surrounding space once again .

"Hmm?"

Not expecting a Sempiternal realm soul to be able to overcome his seal so easily, a slight frown formed between Ancient Sage Mo Ling's brows . He raised his hand and grasped at Zhang Xuan .

Zhang Xuan could tell with a single glance that there were eight flaws in this strike, so he continued charging forward without bothering to dodge the other party's attack at all .

Hula!

His silhouette entered the dimension rift, and it seemed like he would tread through space and disappear at any moment .

"Don't you dare!"

Seeing how the other party dared to ignore his attack and continue with escaping, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's face darkened further . He raised his hands and clapped them together forcefully .

The dimension rift began closing at a rapid pace once more . If Zhang Xuan failed to stand his ground, he could very well be crushed into bits .

Without the slightest hint of panic, Zhang Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air before stretching his arm thirty meters away to tap at a certain point in space .

Deng deng deng deng!

Ancient Sage Mo Ling immediately felt his flow of energy being abruptly severed, and he retreated two steps in a fluster .

Hu!

Unable to take it any longer, he drew his soul out from his glabella .

In an instant, a furious gale blew across the entire area, and a sinister aura descended upon the land .

"Farewell!"

Hula!

Barely after Ancient Sage Mo Ling drew out his soul, a calm voice sounded in his ears . Following which, the dimension rift vanished, and the soul that had been present in the area just a moment ago vanished without a trace .
