"Yawn, this auction is really boring." Ling Yun yawned as he stretched his arms, for the auction had been going on for quite a while, but the course of the auction was nothing special. Even those strong cultivators still haven't made any bids, and only people from the lower and middle class have bid on a few items.
Feng Ruxue deliberately arranged the auction in such a way and placed other items that were not very attractive to those strong cultivators at the front. Even though those items were only common to people from the Sects, Upper Clans, and Ancient Clans, they were still precious to people from the Lower and Middle Clans.
As for Ling Yun's items, Feng Ruxue deliberately placed them in the middle, and the beauty returning pills would be the last items in the auction.
Feng Qingge smiled, seeing Ling Yun like that. "Master, Madam Feng did this on purpose; if she takes out your items first, the other people won't be interested in other items anymore."
"Uh, I know." After all, Feng Ruxue also had to think about the Feng Clan and her clan also needed a lot of lower profound stones to support the Phoenix Sect, so Ling Yun could understand her intentions.
Ling Yun then stood up and used his Heavenly Transformation, making the women wonder about his purpose. "Hmm? I've forgotten someone, and she's still in the Yin-Yang Chamber."
After that, Ling Yun opened a portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber and asked Philia to come out, startling Su Fei, Feng Xing, and Feng Qingge.
"Come and sit with me, Philia!" Ling Xiya said to her and then explained to them. "She is a Gryphon, my brother tamed her, and she is now my beast contract."
"Huh?" The three of them looked at Philia in surprise, especially Feng Xing and Feng Qingge. As experienced cultivators, they knew that gryphon always moved in groups, and they never left their herds, but now there was a griffin among them.
Ling Yu'er laughed at their reactions. "You guys don't need to be shocked like this; Yun'er has dragon bloodline, so she can tame Philia easily."
"I see." They nodded in understanding. After all, the status of a dragon was much higher than that of a gryphon, let alone Ling Yun's bloodline was the Primordial Chaos Dragon, the ancestor of beasts.
"What do you intend to do, Yun'er? Why are you using your transformation technique?" Su Fei curiously asked him.
"Haha." Ling Yun only laughed at her question and immediately left their room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Fei frowned as she watched Ling Yun just leave. "Do you guys know what he's going to do?"
"What else?" Ling Yu'er shrugged her shoulders. "He definitely wants to do something to Chen Hong or those women from the Hundred Flower Sect."
Ling Xiya then asked her. "Do you think they won't know if my brother uses the transformation technique?"
"You guys don't have to worry about that." Ling Xi said to calm them down. "Ling Yun's transformation technique is no ordinary; even a woman as powerful as Xuanyuan Xue'er would not be able to figure it out."
However, they suddenly saw Ling Yun about to enter the people's room from Demon Gate, and he was carrying a tray with several bottles of wine on it.
Seeing that, Ling Xi instantly disappeared from the sights of the women and reappeared by Ling Yun's side. "What do you want to do here?"
'Hmm? I wonder what Lucifer has planned for the humans.' Ling Yun replied as he walked into the room and placed the wine on the table in front of the two people. 'Hey, Ling Xi, please cover me so they won't be able to see me.'
"All right." Ling Xi instantly enveloped Ling Yun with her aura, and they listened to the two demons talk.
"Hey, Golda! Don't you think these people will suspect us?" The female demon asked her partner.
Golda continued to observe the cultivator and answered her. "I don't know, Yaffa. However, we must do it carefully, or else Feng Ruxue will suspect us."
"That woman sure is terrible; if she suspects us, then we won't be able to escape from this place," Yaffa replied as she took out a bottle filled with black liquid. "Are we going to do it right now? That way, we can get out of here soon; I can't stand to stay in this place for long."
Golda didn't immediately answer his partner's question and watched the situation first, especially since so many strong cultivators could easily kill them.
'Hey, can you read their memories?' Ling Yun asked Ling Xi, and his eyes fell on the black bottle.
Ling Xi nodded at him and instantly read the memories of the two demons, and her expression turned ugly after learning of their plan. "Hey, Ling Yun, the contents of that bottle is a demon miasma from a swamp in the demon realm; any human who gets hit by it will gradually turn into a demon."
'Hmm?' Ling Yun was shocked to hear that. 'So Lucifer is planning to turn humans into demons?'
"Yes!" Ling Xi nodded to him. "Lucifer needs more pawns to fight the angels, so he wants to turn humans into demons, especially these cultivators."
Ling Yun's expression became ugly upon hearing that, and he thought of what he should do with them, significantly since that demon miasma would also affect his women if they released it on the spot. 'Should I kill them right now?'
"Hmm?" Ling Xi thought for a moment before answering him. "These two demons are just Lucifer's pawns, so I think it's fine if you kill them here."
'All right, help me to seal this room; I don't want those strong cultivators to know about me.'
After Ling Xi sealed the room, Ling Yun immediately used the technique he got from the Chaos Dragon, Dragon Manifestation â€" Half Dragon!
Soon, Ling Yun's face and body began to be covered in black scales, and two small dragon horns appeared above his head. Next, two dragon wings came out on his back, and a dragon tail appeared on his back hip; even his hands and feet also turned into dragon claws.
Ling Xi was stunned to see Ling Yun's transformation; she did not expect his technique to turning him into a human-dragon hybrid. Moreover, his current cultivation has also increased considerably, and his strength is on par with cultivators in the Lower King Realm. 'Unbelievable! He's only half-dragon, but he's two times stronger than before, and I can't imagine turning into a full dragon!'
"I thought- Guah!" Before Golda could finish his words, Ling Yun's dragon claw had already pierced his chest, and black blood flowed from his mouth.
Yaffa was shocked to see that and looked back, but she immediately stiffened when she saw Ling Yun's blood-red eyes, and her body trembled violently. 'Shit! Who is this person? Why didn't we notice his presence earlier?'
"Heh." Ling Yun snorted softly as he pulled his dragon claw out of Golda's body.
Yaffa decided to quickly open the bottle, but before she could do so, Ling Yun was already standing right in front of her and gripped her hand tightly, causing her to wince in pain. "Ugh! Let go of my hand!"
"You demons really sicken me." Ling Yun coldly spoke, and his blood-red eyes shone brightly. "Do you think I'll let Lucifer have his way?"
Ling Yun then took the bottle from Yaffa's hands and put it into his item box, he thought it might be useful to him later, so he decided not to destroy it. He then strangled her neck, raised her body high, and said to Ling Xi. "Help me to absorb her demon qi; I want to use her demon qi to strengthen my devil core."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'What? He... he's a devil?' Yaffa was utterly shocked by his words, and she struggled to get away from him, but Ling Yun, in his half-dragon form, was much stronger than her.
After Ling Xi got behind Yaffa, Ling Yun immediately kissed her lips, shocking her.
However, Yaffa suddenly felt her demon qi being pushed into Ling Yun's body. 'Ugh! At this rate, I will die in his hands!'
But alas, since she has fallen into their hands, only death awaits her. Ling Yun then channeled Yaffa's demon qi into his devil core, and it absorbed her demon qi very quickly.
Unlike when Ling Xi helped Ling Yun absorb Mo Hongling's devil qi, she pushed Yaffa's demon qi into her body without stopping, causing her body to dry up rapidly.
After a while, Yaffa's body had completely dried up as Ling Yun absorbed her demon qi dry, and he threw her corpse's remains onto the floor.
"Cultivate first and stabilize your devil core." Ling Xi ordered him.
Ling Yun nodded to her, canceled the technique, and instantly returned to normal. After that, he sat cross-legged on the floor and started stabilizing his devil core which was still excited after sucking in enough demon qi.
