Chapter 0806 Flying Phoenix Tower

Chapter 0806: Phoenix Soaring Tower

Duan Jingqin had just wanted to kill Qin Yun earlier, but now he wanted to kill Di Mingchun instead.

"You bastard!"

Duan Jingqin was well aware of Qin Yun's status within the Immortal Armament Palace. Blinded by rage, he backhanded Di Mingchun across the face and cursed.

"Don’t beat him to death!" Granny Ma said.

Di Mingchun was also scared stiff. He naturally knew Qin Yun’s clout—even if Qin Yun had chopped off his master Duan Jingqin's arms, Bao Changshou would’ve let it slide, let alone his own.

"What happened here?" Bao Changshou asked coldly, staring at Di Mingchun.

"It... it was all my fault!" Di Mingchun quickly cried out.

Qin Yun walked over, seized Di Mingchun by the scruff, and yanked him into a side room.

Bao Changshou said nothing, just eyeing Duan Jingqin and Long Shanwei, still sprawled on the floor.

"Sect Leader, I lost my temper and lost my senses. I beg for punishment—I willingly accept ten years of imprisonment!" Duan Jingqin hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

"Very well. You shall be locked up in the pits for ten years!" Bao Changshou nodded.

Granny Ma then led Duan Jingqin away.

...

After being dragged into the side room by Qin Yun, Di Mingchun shrieked, "What are you going to do?!"

"What made Qiaofeng take off from the Immortal Armament Palace?" Qin Yun asked coldly.

"I... the Long family asked me to relay a message to Long Qiaofeng. I don’t know why she left!" Di Mingchun suddenly realized that Long Qiaofeng and Qin Yun were clearly tight.

"How did the Long family know Qiaofeng was in the Immortal Armament Palace?" Qin Yun frowned, murder in his eyes.

"My father spotted Long Qiaofeng in the Guardian Hall by chance and told me, so I informed Long Shanwei!" Di Mingchun, terrified for his life, spilled his guts to save his skin.

Qin Yun left the chamber and dragged Long Shanwei inside.

Long Shanwei was shaking like a leaf.

Bao Changshou had also learned from Granny Ma that Qin Yun was furious about Long Qiaofeng's departure.

"What message did you give Qiaofeng?" Qin Yun cut to the chase with Long Shanwei.

"I... it was a letter written by Long Qiaofeng's nanny. The nanny is at death’s door and wanted to see her!" Long Shanwei, sensing Qin Yun's overwhelming killing intent, was frozen in terror.

"Did Qiaofeng return to the Long family? Where is she now?" Qin Yun demanded.

"She didn’t return to the Long family—she only went to see her nanny!" Long Shanwei sobbed. "But afterward, she must’ve been snatched by our Long family. I don’t know the details—I was just delivering the message!"

Obviously, the whole thing was a setup by the Long family to lure Long Qiaofeng back.

"Do you really not know where Qiaofeng ended up?" Qin Yun squeezed harder on Long Shanwei's neck.

"She must be with the Long family!" Long Shanwei shrieked in terror.

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Yun cut him down with a single stroke, extracting his Dao Dan and Martial Soul.

Di Mingchun was terrified by the sight, crying and screaming, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

"If it weren't for you and your father, why would Qiaofeng leave the Divine Arms Palace?" Qin Yun said coldly, then walked over.

Qin Yun's Soul Sacred Blade struck like lightning, piercing through and killing Di Mingchun!

Before his death, Di Mingchun's face was filled with terror.

After Qin Yun took his martial soul and dao core, Bao Changshou said, "Are you going to the Long family? Can you handle it alone? We can help!"

"I'll go check first. If Qiaofeng is still alive, I can save her. If... she's dead, then I'll return and ask for your help to raze the Long family to the ground!" Qin Yun said before immediately leaving the Protector Hall.

...

The headquarters of the Long family in Pride Star Province was located in the Mighty Dragon Villa within the Weilong Mountain Range.

Outside the Weilong Mountain Range stood Weilong City, a colossal city constructed by the Long family.

Qin Yun arrived in Weilong City and spent many purple crystal coins to seek intel, quickly obtaining useful leads.

In the Soaring Phoenix Tower of Weilong City, a beauty was set to be auctioned, rumored to be one of the Four Peerless Beauties of Pride Star Province.

Many speculated it was Long Qiaofeng, whom the Long family had been pursuing recently.

Long Qiaofeng possessed the rare twin martial souls: dragon and phoenix. After the Long family's dragon disappeared some time ago, Long Qiaofeng also vanished.

At the time, the Long family suspected she was involved.

Now, Soaring Phoenix Tower—a high-class brothel—was suddenly auctioning such a beauty, one of the Four Peerless Beauties of Pride Star Province. Clearly, it had to be Long Qiaofeng.

Many attended the auction, all powerhouses from Weilong City, including youths, middle-aged men, and elders.

"The auction starts tonight—good thing I arrived early!" Qin Yun hurried to Soaring Phoenix Tower.

The auction was held right in front of Soaring Phoenix Tower's entrance, open to anyone. Those who placed fake bids wouldn’t make it out of the city.

After all, Soaring Phoenix Tower was also a Long family business, so no one dared to cause trouble.

Qin Yun’s gut twisted with worry. The Long family auctioning Long Qiaofeng suggested she no longer held value.

Previously, Long Qiaofeng had mentioned the Long family wanted to take her martial souls—dragon-phoenix souls were a rarity.

This thought only deepened Qin Yun's concern.

Below Soaring Phoenix Tower, a large crowd had already gathered.

On the second-floor balcony stood a portly madam who shouted, "Got your purple crystals ready? The girl we're auctioning tonight is a famed beauty of Pride Star Province!"

"Fat Madam, what’s her condition? If she’s used goods, she's worthless!"

"Yeah! Spit it out!"

"Relax, the girls we sell at Soaring Phoenix Tower are all untouched, all virginal!" the Fat Madam laughed.

Night fell, and more people arrived.

Qin Yun had initially planned to enter Soaring Phoenix Tower but sensed at least five Martial Kings inside.

"Are they auctioning Qiaofeng to flush out her accomplices?" Qin Yun suspected there must be an ambush waiting nearby.

At night, the second-floor balcony of Feifeng Tower lit up.

A beautiful but haggard woman in a red dress, bound all over, was escorted out under guard.

It was indeed Long Qiaofeng!

Below Feifeng Tower, thousands had gathered!

Upon seeing Long Qiaofeng, they burst into loud shouts.

The Long family was actually selling Long Qiaofeng! Though many had guessed it beforehand, they were still shocked to see it.

Qin Yun remembered how Long Qiaofeng had been terrified of death and pain in the Immortal Arms Illusionary Realm.

Yet now, her weary but beautiful face was strangely calm, as if she feared nothing anymore.

Looking at her, Qin Yun couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Little Yun, don’t blame yourself! Qiaofeng’s conflict with the Long family was already deep. When she returned last time, wasn’t she almost stripped of her martial spirit? This has nothing to do with you!" Ling Yuner said. "Watch out for the ambushes here!"

Gazing at Long Qiaofeng’s exhausted face, Qin Yun thought, "Yuner, Qiaofeng looks so weak. Could her martial spirit have been taken?"

"Hard to say. Let's watch first!" Ling Yuner replied. "You’ll definitely save her!"

Just then, someone below shouted, "Fat Madam, if you want us to pay a fortune for Long Qiaofeng, just being untouched isn’t enough. She must still have her cultivation—she’d make a perfect dual-cultivation vessel!"

"Her Dao Pill is intact, rest assured!" Fat Madam laughed.

This instantly drew more interest, especially among the wealthy elders, who leered knowingly.

Seeing the crowd, Fat Madam wasted no time. "Make your bids now—going to the highest bidder! But beware, fake bidders will pay dearly!"

"One billion Purple Crystal Coins!" called a middle-aged man in blue.

"Two billion!"

"Three billion!"

"Three and a half!"

"..."

After a fierce round of bidding, the pace slowed when it reached fifteen billion.

Only three bidders remained: an elder, a middle-aged man, and a youth.

The youth, dressed in luxurious purple and fanning himself with an ornate folding fan, bid calmly.

The blue-clad middle-aged man could still bid but seemed pressured.

The elderly man, likely the wealthiest, added the smallest increments, also showing signs of strain.

Qin Yun didn’t bid but got ready to make his move.

Finally, the purple-clad youth secured Long Qiaofeng for eighteen billion Purple Crystal Coins!

"Is that guy from the Yang family?"

"Yang Fangheng, said to be an outstanding disciple of the Yang family, is at the peak of the Black Tortoise Realm and will soon become a Martial King!"

"Could it be that he also practices dual cultivation?"

"It certainly seems so!"

Yang Fangheng landed lightly on the balcony, handed 1.8 billion purple crystal coins to Fat Madam, then gazed at Long Qiaofeng with a predatory smile.

"Aoxingzhou's beauty, I've missed you so much..." Yang Fangheng devoured Long Qiaofeng with his gaze, licking his lips before reaching out to touch her face.

Long Qiaofeng immediately bit down on Yang Fangheng's hand.

"Ah—!" Yang Fangheng screamed in pain from the bite.

This drew a burst of jeering laughter from the crowd below.

The sound of a sharp slap rang out!

Fat Madam, seeing this, struck Long Qiaofeng hard across the face.

"You little bitch! How dare you bite your master? Clean the blood from this young master's hand right now!" Fat Madam yanked Long Qiaofeng's hair.

Yang Fangheng extended his hand toward Long Qiaofeng and said coldly, "You belong to me now. If you don't lick the blood clean, I'll strip you naked right here!"

"Ptooey!" Long Qiaofeng spat a mouthful of blood at Yang Fangheng.

Fat Madam raised her hand to strike again, but suddenly found her entire body paralyzed.

"Bitch!" Yang Fangheng roared in fury, about to hit Long Qiaofeng, when a sudden explosion of blood surged toward him.

Fat Madam's head suddenly exploded, spraying blood everywhere!

Witnessing this, Yang Fangheng was frozen with terror!

After all, he was at the peak of the Black Tortoise Realm, yet someone had killed Fat Madam without him even sensing it.

Just as Yang Fangheng tried to move, he realized his legs were entangled by numerous vines.

Whoosh!

A blade's whistle cut through the air—Yang Fangheng's outstretched hand was suddenly cleanly severed, falling to the ground with a sickening thud!
