Chapter 1326: Chapter 1327: In Charge of the Inner Field

Ye Mo’s Soul Cultivation was only at Soul Skill Second Level. Even if he unleashed the Soul Devil Thunder, he still wouldn’t be able to withstand the opponent’s spiritual attacks. The only advantage of Ye Mo’s Perfect Soul Body was its toughness, allowing him to unleash Soul Techniques multiple times without causing his Soul Sea to dry up.

For ordinary Martial Artists, being able to unleash one or two Soul Techniques in a short period was already good enough. Once they unleashed them and their Soul Sea was exhausted, even if someone whose Soul Cultivation was lower than theirs released a Soul Technique and hit their Soul Sea, they could still be killed.

This was one of the reasons Martial Artists would not lightly use Soul Techniques.

Of course, there were also two special situations.

First, the opponent’s Soul Body might be extremely strong—such as an Intermediate Soul Body, Advanced Soul Body, or Perfect Soul Body. Unleashing one or two Soul Techniques wouldn’t affect their Soul Sea at all.

Second, was possessing a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact, which could basically ignore spiritual attacks. Even if the Soul Sea was completely exhausted, they didn’t have to worry about others using Soul Techniques to kill them. Of course, once the Soul Sea was exhausted, it was like a Martial Artist falling ill—no matter how strong their peak strength, it would be hard to fully bring it out.

Facing the two illusory Longswords that were striking toward him, Ye Mo didn’t have the slightest intention of dodging. They directly sank into his mind and blasted onto his Soul Sea, but were immediately blocked by a purple membrane and simply could not harm Ye Mo’s Soul Sea at all.

"What’s going on?"

Zhan Jun stared at this scene. His own attack had clearly hit Ye Mo, yet it didn’t have any effect on him. Could it be that his Soul Cultivation had also reached Soul Realm Third Layer?

To defeat him—a Divine Venerable Three Souls powerhouse—with a Divine Venerable One Soul martial arts cultivation, and his Soul Cultivation had also reached Soul Realm Third Layer. What kind of concept was that? With this kind of strength, even in the Wraith Clan he would probably be considered a genius.

"I don’t believe you can keep blocking!"

Zhan Jun once again released the Twin Life Sword, but his attack was still like a clay ox entering the sea, without stirring up the slightest ripple.

"Since you like playing with spiritual attacks so much, I’ll fulfill your wish."

Ye Mo let out a cold laugh, his eyes flashing with light. He released repeatedly, actually unleashing three Soul Devil Thunders in one breath, all of them striking Zhan Jun’s Soul Sea.

Zhan Jun’s Soul Sea had already begun to dry up from continuously unleashing two Soul Techniques; its defensive level had already fallen to Soul Realm Second Layer. Now he had to take Ye Mo’s three Soul Devil Thunders head-on.

"Ahhh!"

Zhan Jun immediately let out a painful roar, his face contorting viciously, twisted with agony. Clearly, Ye Mo’s three spiritual attacks had completely and heavily wounded his spirit.

His body finally could no longer hold on and directly collapsed to his knees on the ground.

"Hiss!"

Even the twenty guards Zhu Jiu had invited all sucked in a breath of cold air. Competing in physical attacks, Zhan Jun was no match. Competing in spiritual attacks, Zhan Jun was still no match.

Even that inconspicuous Ghost Eye Mad Blade revealed a trace of strange light in his eyes, then showed an unnoticeable hint of mockery.

"How is this possible?"

The elites of the Wraith Clan also stared at Ye Mo in shock. Zhan Jun was the strongest among them: Divine Venerable Three Souls, Soul Realm Third Layer, yet he was still defeated by Ye Mo.

Moreover, the other party hadn’t even used all his methods.

Wangchen likewise looked at Ye Mo with a face full of shock. This arrogant young man indeed had the capital to be arrogant. But why was he only a Loose Cultivator? A genius like this should be joining one of the great clans under their moon this month.

Zhu Jiu’s eyes were also flickering nonstop. Looking at Ye Mo’s figure, a smile appeared on her cheeks.

"Very good, truly a hero in his youth. You’ve proved yourself well with your strength, so this time, you’ll be responsible for the inner field. The payment is twenty million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills."

Wangchen spoke, then left the main hall.

"Ye Mo, thank you."

Zhu Jiu’s face was full of gratitude.

If Ye Mo hadn’t acted, Ye Mo and his group would have been in charge of the outer field—easy and relaxed—but with this one fight for it, they recovered ten million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills in commission.

"Miss Zhu Jiu, just saying thank you isn’t enough."

Ye Mo said with a smile.

"Then what else do you want me to do?"

Zhu Jiu’s cheeks flushed red; she couldn’t help letting her thoughts run wild, secretly cursing herself in her heart: "He already has a wife, and she’s so beautiful. What am I imagining?"

"Later during the auction, I hope you can help me keep an eye out for a few things."

Ye Mo said lightly, "If a Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill appears, no matter the price, you must help me bid for it. And if Silver Frost Grass, Soul Spirit Grass, or Verdant Ink Grass used to refine Ascending Soul Pills appear, help me bid for those as well. As for money, you don’t need to worry—just bid as you please."

"What? Bid as I please?"

Zhu Jiu looked at Ye Mo in surprise. Auctions of this level would gather all the clan powers around the Great Wilderness; even some surrounding forces would come to participate. Even for the Zhu Family, they might not have the strength to successfully bid on certain items.

"That’s right, we can temporarily skip the Verdant Ink Grass, but if a Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill appears, you must help me bid it down, at any cost."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"But—"

Zhu Jiu wanted to say something but stopped.

"Don’t worry, I still have a few Immortal Artifacts on me. If we sell them, they should fetch quite a bit."

Ye Mo said flatly.

In the Vanquishing Martial Realm, Ye Mo had collected quite a lot of Immortal Artifacts. He also carried some with him specifically for emergencies.

Immortal Artifacts were extremely rare existences on every Lingwu Continent, yet in the Vanquishing Martial Realm they were very common. Ye Mo bringing out so many Immortal Artifacts was practically like a nouveau riche.

Any single Immortal Artifact could be valued at tens of millions of Wheel of Reincarnation Pills.

"Alright then!"

Zhu Jiu nodded, then said, "I’ll take you all into the inner field of the auction now."

A short while later, Zhu Jiu led Ye Mo and the others into the auction venue. The space inside was enormous, almost taking up half the volume of Dahuang Hall, yet looking at the densely packed seats still gave Ye Mo a slight feeling of congestion.

Ye Mo led his group and had them stand guard in various corners, with two more guarding the entrance.

After a full half hour passed, admission began. Many people streamed in one after another, entering and finding suitable seats to sit down.

Moreover, anyone who wanted to enter this auction venue had to pay ten thousand Wheel of Reincarnation Pills, but this fee belonged entirely to the Great Desolation Tower.

"Anyone daring to attend this auction is at least at Wheel of Reincarnation Peak."

Ye Mo stood guard at the very back of the venue. By just looking straight ahead, he could see the high auction platform; every move made there was clearly within his sight.

As the flow of people grew greater and greater, Ye Mo also knew the auction was about to begin.

When the venue was completely packed with people, Ye Mo even felt a sense of pressure. There were at least ten thousand people, and on top of that, the auction venue had a second and third floor—both were VIP seats that only members of great clans were qualified to enter.

After that, an old woman walked onto the auction platform, and accompanying her, naturally, was Wangchen of the Wraith Clan.

This old woman’s face was gaunt, her whole body seeming like just a skeleton. She looked extremely terrifying, and her appearance caused the originally noisy venue to instantly quiet down.

"Isn’t that Ghost Granny? The organizers actually invited Ghost Granny to host this auction. Looks like there will be some truly remarkable items appearing this time."

"Yeah, even for an Immortal Artifact auction, they might not be able to invite Ghost Granny. Seems today’s auction is going to be interesting."
