"Whoosh, whoosh~"

More than a score of warriors of the Eternal Realm and 60 or 70 of the Fate Wheel Realm flew towards Lu Li. Fate Wheels were released and smashed at the Iron-armored Ship Lu Li was on.

More released their Xuan Energy and shot out rays of sword in an endeavor to bomb Lu Li’s Iron-armored Ship into dust.

"Get out! Sparks Profound Meaning!"

Yu Huashen yelled as the flame mark on his neck and his Bead of Life emerged. He shot out a blue dragon of fire. Instead of making a Shield of Sparks, he controlled the dragons of flames to dance around in the sky. In the meantime, he grabbed Lu Li with one hand and flew up.

"Boom, boom!"

Castle-in-air-like Iron-armored Ships were hit by Fate Wheels and blasted off. Wood dust danced around in the sky and then fell to the ground. Smoke and snoots covered up the space, rising high to the sky.

Lu Li was enraged. One Iron-armored Ship would be worth of millions of Xuan Crystals and those ships were his. He felt upset that they were destroyed. He ordered in a deep voice, "Yu Huashen, finish them off."

"Swish, swish~

One blue dragon of flame after another whooshed on and they tangled one warrior after another. The flames were horrifying as they were formed with the combination of the Sparks Profound Meaning and Bloodline Skill.

A single spark could start a prairie fire.

Warriors that were tangled in the dragons of flames were caught in the fire. They rolled over and howled in midair. Then, in a speed visible to the naked eye, they were burnt to death. Burnt bodies fell, a scene too shocking for people to behold.

Yu Huashen was at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm so, for him, to kill warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm and Eternal Realm would be awfully easy. In the time for just a few breaths, he had killed more than a dozen of Fate Wheel Realm warriors and three of the Eternal Realm. Yu Huashen was fast. He protected Lu Li and none of the warriors attacking them could get close.

The Eternal Realm and Fate Wheel Realm warriors finally grew fearful. None of them wanted to die and die for nothing no less. Soon, many of them started to flying towards the distance. To injure Lu Li would be hard enough, let alone to kill him.

"Bang!"

Half of Qi Tianhe’s leg was torn up by Ye Xiao. Qi Tianhe was smashed away. He was so afraid that he took control of his Bead of Life and fled like a shooting star. He would definitely die if he stayed on.

Ming Yu and the others didn’t chase after him. They were here to rescue, not to kill. Ye Li of the Heaven Cold Kingdom was left alone instead of being killed. Ming Yu and the others were afraid that things would turn out worse which would antagonize Du Zheng completely.

Looking at Ming Yu and Ye Xiao fly towards him, Du Heng was getting anxious. He had worked so hard on this and now he was going to fall short? Would it be like the last time they invaded the Thousand-island Lake? Were they going to lose warriors and generals in frustration?

He looked to the Heaven Prison City. Du Ziling was already there so why was Du Zheng not here yet?

"Du Zheng should be here soon."

In the outdoor pavilion, Madam Yan murmured. If Du Zheng didn’t come, then Lu Li would win for sure.

However, that was nearly impossible. Since Du Zheng had already helped the three Royal Kingdoms in the Haunted Hollow, he would go through with his efforts. Otherwise, what he had done would be meaningless.

Zi Huanyu, Zi Lian and Ye Yuhan were also looking towards the Heaven Prison City. There was no need to focus on the fight any more. It was all about whether Du Zheng would show up or not.

Likewise, many warriors of the Eternal Realm, Fate Wheel Realm and those families on the Bai Emperor Mountain were waiting for the appearance of Du Zheng.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, two figures flew out from the Heaven Prison City. One warrior of the Eternal Realm took Du Ziling on his Fate Wheel.

They flew over quickly. Du Ziling’s eyes were filled with smugness. He looked at Lu Li in the distance and said with a cold smile, "Lu Li, your end is coming."

Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue and others were trembling. Du Zheng would come. Bai Xiashuang turned pale on the news.

"Whoosh!"

Right when Du Ziling finished his words, a Golden Chariot flew to the sky from the Heaven Prison City and was heading its way over.

There seemed to be two men on the chariot, a middle-aged warrior in black robes standing in the front and a man like a steward behind him.

The Golden Chariot was so fast that it arrived soon. Now, people could see clearly who the two people were.

However…

They were all shocked when they saw the two. Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, Lu Li and warriors of the Thousand-island Lake were taken by surprise. They all knew the cultured middle-aged man.

Chief Steward Du of the Heaven Punishing Auction House!

Lu Li also knew the man at the back, Zhang Yan, a Steward of the auction house. Lu Li remembered them very well. When he bid for the Origin Essential Blood, this Chief Steward Bai helped him to get some Xuan Crystals using his Heaven Serpent Fruit as collateral to get the Origin Essential Blood.

Chief Steward Du of the Heaven Punishing Auction House was known to many. Many patriarchs and stewards of families at the Thousand-island Lake had gone to the auction house to sell or bid for treasures. They were all received by Chief Steward Du in person.

To many people, he was just a steward of a low realm, the Eternal Realm.

The chariot flew over and stopped next to the Bai Emperor Mountain. Chief Steward Du looked over, smiled and said, "I am Du Zheng. Hi, everyone. It is quite a scene here. King Du Heng, what are you sending Young Master Du Ziling to me for?"

"What!"

This man really was the second most powerful man of the Northern Desert, Du Zheng.

Du Zheng was famous but he never made a public appearance. This was the first time he revealed his identity. People never thought this smiling and kind Chief Steward Du was the man controlling the Heaven Punishing Auction House and the second most powerful man of the Northern Desert.

"Eh…"

Du Heng and Du Ziling were surprised as well. Of course, Du Heng knew he was Du Zheng. What Du Heng couldn’t figure out was why Du Zheng didn’t do anything now that he was here. Why was he pretending that he was not familiar with people here?

After a pause, Du Heng said in a deep voice, "Lord Du Zheng, please help us kill the enemies. I will be greatly indebted to you. If you need anything in the future, I promise that I will do everything."

Silence fell. Ye Cha and Ming Yu were afraid to take any actions. They all looked at Du Zheng, waiting for his decision.

"Ha, ha!"

Du Zheng lightly smiled, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "King Du, what are you saying? Heaven Punishing Auction House is only here to do business and we cannot interfere in any conflicts here. This is the rule of our family. Also, the families of the Central Plains cannot get involved in businesses of other plains. Haven’t you heard? Therefore… King Du, sorry, I cannot help you."

"…"

People rolled their eyes. Even though Du Zheng didn’t reveal his identity at the Haunted Hollow, they were sure that Du Zheng must have helped.

Du Heng was 100% sure. It was Zhan Yang that came to contact him. He touched his nose, wondering what Du Zheng was up to.

It was not only Du Heng. Zi Huanyu, Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Madam Yan were all confused. What was Du Zheng doing? If he didn’t want to interfere with the matters of the Northern Desert, then why did he make a plan to trap and kill the Old Man of Heaven Prison and Bai Xi for the benefit of the three Royal Families?

After a moment of silence, Du Heng cupped his fists and said, "Lord Du, you are making jokes. You are here already… aren’t you going to do anything?"

What Du Heng was implying was quite clear. Since Du Zheng already made an appearance, then there was no need to pretend that he was a saint or it would be better for him to hide away in the auction house.

"I am here for a reason, of course!"

Du Zheng nodded lightly. Then he looked at Lu Li, cupped his fists and said to him with a smile, "I am here for Young Master Lu. Young Master Lu, you once used a Heaven Serpent Fruit as collateral at our auction house. How come you didn’t come back for it? Now that you are here, how about going to my place to have a chat? Let us see if we can cooperate in the future. Young Master Lu, can you please grant me this favor?"

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Du Heng, Du Ziling and Ye Yuhan changed their expressions. Du Zheng’s implication was obvious enough.

He had come here, to show his support for Lu Li…

"Whew~"

Zi Huanyu sighed. He felt lucky that he didn’t do anything before.

He thought of a bold idea. Du Zheng had gone through so much trouble and laid out such a grand plan. Was he just… trying to befriend Lu Li?
