Chapter 3776: Appraisal Fair

The sword intent that surged out of the tip of the broken sword immediately alarmed all of the immortals attending the appraisal fair. In fact, even many immortals beyond the appraisal fair were alerted as the sword intent spread out.

“That seems to be in the direction of the appraisal fair…”

“This sword intent is clearly from some kind of treasure. Don’t tell me another impressive treasure has appeared in the appraisal fair?”

“C’mon, let’s go and take a look at exactly what’s happened…”

……

…

Immediately, the crowd surged through the regions near the appraisal fair. Many cultivators rushed over out of curiosity. Even some of the patrolling guards nearby were alerted.

At this moment, a group of several dozen guards changed direction as well. They accelerated towards the appraisal fair.

The captain of this squad of guards was called Xue Feng. He was only a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, but he possessed quite some status among the guards.

His master was the head commander of the city guards, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.

In the hierarchy of the Immortal Rising City, the status of the head commander of the guards was only second to the eight clans. They were responsible for maintaining peace and order throughout the entire city. They possessed extremely great authority.

As the disciple of the head commander of the city guards, Xue Feng’s status was very self-evident.

“There has probably been a scuffle at the appraisal fair. Our Immortal Rising City strictly forbids such acts. If discovered, they’ll have to hand over their immortal artifacts immediately and be sent to prison!” The captain of the squadron, Xue Feng, sneered. His eyes shone with a strange light as he rushed over with several dozen guards under his command.

Apart from Xue Feng who was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, everyone else in the squad were Daluo Golden Immortals and Xuan Immortals.

“It probably isn’t some conflict. After all, that’s in the rules of our Immortal Rising City. Who has the courage to defy them? Captain, I think someone has gotten lucky and found something good.” A Xuan Immortal soldier behind the captain snickered.

“Who said it’s impossible? There are plenty of audacious people in the world. Otherwise, why would we exist?” Xue Feng snorted coldly.

The Xuan Immortal soldier understood what he was saying and snickered. “You’re right, captain. In my opinion, it’s probably a scuffle at the appraisal fair. They need us to maintain order.”

“Oh right, I’ll contact Shi Zhongxian right now and get him to rush over. Who knows, we might even need his cooperation.”

“There’s no rush. Let’s go over and see who it is. Recently, due to the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s disappearance, the Immortal Rising City has been filled with a mixture of different characters.”

……

…

The tip of the broken sword in Jing Mumu’s hand shone with blinding light at the appraisal fair like a lantern in the dark. It seemed particularly eye-catching.

More and more people gathered around her. Basically all of the immortals had stopped browsing and set aside everything that they were doing to gather over.

As the reason for this uproar, Jing Mumu had completely blanked out. She held the tip of the broken sword and seemed rather bewildered.

Jing Feng was stern. His presence as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal radiated out slightly, standing by Jing Mumu’s side like he was confronting powerful enemies.

By their side, the stall owner who had just sold the tip of the broken sword had a sobbing expression. He was filled with regret.

“I’ve studied the tip of the broken sword for so long. I even asked an Immortal Monarch to appraise it for me. The conclusion he reached was it was just the fragment of a low quality god artifact. B-b-but as it seems now, this is no fragment of a low quality god artifact at all. With how powerful the sword intent is, with how strong it shines, this is clearly a treasure of immeasurable value…”

“Dammit, I actually sold such a precious treasure for a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals.”

The stall owner felt like he was bleeding inside. He did not know exactly how great the treasure was, but it was clearly worth more than ten million supreme grade immortal crystals from the disturbance it created.

Even in the eyes of some Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals, ten million supreme grade immortal crystals was a tempting sum, let alone the fact that the stall owner was not even a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, only at the peak of Xuan Immortal.

At this moment, determination appeared in the stall owner’s eyes. He gritted his teeth. “I’m not selling the tip of this sword. Here is your hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals back.” As he said that, he directly tossed the Space Ring with a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals back to Jing Mumu before reaching towards the tip of the broken sword in her hands.

Ten million supreme grade immortal crystals was basically an astronomical sum to him, not to mention that this was only his current estimate. It was possible for the tip of the broken sword to be worth even more than he imagined.

Faced with such a huge temptation, he no longer cared about the so-called rules of the appraisal fair.

“Since you’ve already handed this item over, it now belongs to us. How can you just go back on your decision whenever you want to?” Jing Feng’s face sank. His presence as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal erupted, weighing down on the stall owner like a mountain and immediately making his face change drastically.

But shortly afterwards, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes as he said hoarsely, “I don’t care. I’ve already returned the immortal crystals to you anyway.” As he said that, he gritted his teeth and reached towards the tip of the sword in Jing Mumu’s hand against the pressure from Jing Feng.

“The appraisal fair has its rules. How can you blatantly ignore them?” Jing Feng bellowed out. With a flash, he appeared before Jing Mumu and raised his hand, stopping the stall owner.

The stall owner was only a peak Xuan Immortal, so he stood absolutely no chance against Jing Feng who was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.

“Where are the enforcers of the appraisal fair? Someone has blatantly broken the rules, trying to commit theft. His actions have already infringed upon the rules set down for the appraisal fair,” Jing Feng called out. He had come to the Immortal Rising City before. He was obviously familiar with the rules of the appraisal fair.

Very soon, several enforcers in black clothing walked over. Apart from a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, the rest were all Xuan Immortals.

When he saw the enforcers of the appraisal fair, the stall owner finally seemed to calm down. He immediately paled.

“We’re already familiar with everything that unfolded here!” the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal enforcer said emotionlessly. He led a few of his subordinates over to the stall owner, about to judge his crimes.

“What has happened here? Who has been fighting? Don’t you know the rules of our Immortal Rising City?” At this moment, a great yell ran out from the distance. A squad of several dozen city guards entered the appraisal fair.

Seeing the captain at the very front, Xue Feng, the enforcers of the appraisal fair immediately became stern. The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal enforcer no longer bothered with the stall owner either. A slight smile appeared on his impartial face. He hurried over and clasped his fist. “So it’s captain Feng. I never thought the matter here would even alarm you.”

As he faced captain Xue Feng, even the enforcer who possessed the same cultivation as him greeted him with smiles, showing him great courtesy. As for the Xuan Immortal enforcers, they all clasped their fists and bowed in respect.
