Chapter 986: Immortal Confinement Cage
Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing this, Leng Yan immediately stood in front of them and prepared to fight the Unicorn to the death. However, miraculously, the Unicorn did not seem to sense their existence and did not run towards them at all.
After the chaos, there was a cry outside the hall. The unicorns seemed to have been summoned and ran outside, leaving the people in the hall wailing. Most of them were injured.
Seeing this, Yu Su immediately took out a talisman and changed the look of the five of them. Soon, their bodies became tattered.
Wails sounded in the hall.
“d.a.m.n it, where did these beasts come from?”
“Ouch, my waist is about to break from the impact. Someone help me up.”
“What the h.e.l.l is going on!”
“Where are the people from Mount Zhongnan?”
“I want to go down the mountain. The beast broke my leg just now. Ouch…”
“Someone fainted. Someone come quickly!”
Shortly thereafter, Mo Ting entered the hall in a fl.u.s.ter. “Distinguished guests, we at Zhongnan Mountain offer our sincerest apologies. Those unicorns, for some unknown reason, rushed in and injured some of you.”
After saying that, someone immediately scolded angrily, “Just because you don’t know, you don’t have to be responsible?”
Clap! Clap! Mo Ting clapped his hands and a team of strong Daoist priests walked out from behind him. “Our auction is about to begin. If anyone wants to go down the mountain for treatment, Mount Zhongnan will send you down immediately.”
As soon as he finished speaking, discussions began in the hall again. Their goal this time was these heavenly treasures. If they left just like that, wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage? Other than those with very serious injuries, the other merchants gritted their teeth and stayed.
When Mo Wen heard that many people insisted on staying, a mocking smile flashed across his lips. “Since everyone has already decided, follow me!” He turned around and walked towards the east.
The merchants also followed him out of the hall. Yu Su and the others also walked out and followed Mo Ting’s footsteps out of the hall. They continued to walk east along the limestone path.
After walking for about ten minutes, Mo Ting finally stopped. In front of him was a small square for gatherings. There were some tables, chairs, and benches in the square. In front of him was a small stage. There were some wooden boxes on the stage. The wooden boxes had gorgeous patterns and looked ancient.
After everyone sat down, someone couldn’t help but ask, “Steward Mo, the auction is going to begin right? Can we put the bill on the account first if we didn’t bring enough money?”
“That’s right. What treasures will be auctioned this time?”
Facing the interest in everyone’s eyes, Mo Ting’s lips curled up. With a cold expression, he walked onto the stage and said, “Formation, activate!”
As soon as he finished speaking, energy fluctuations came from all eight directions of the square. An energy s.h.i.+eld rose in the air and enveloped everyone.
“Isn’t this the Immortal Confinement Cage?” A knowledgeable businessman in the crowd opened his mouth wide and pointed at the energy s.h.i.+eld in the air in shock.
Someone beside him asked him, “What’s an Immortal Confinement Cage?”
“This is a formation that imprisons Daoists. Even if a Zenith Heaven Immortal comes, he won’t be able to escape from this square.”
“Formation? Why are you imprisoning us?”
“Steward Mo, what exactly do you mean?”
“I want to go down the mountain.”
After hearing the explanation of the Immortal Confinement Cage, a middle-aged man behind Yu Su stood up and ran out of the energy s.h.i.+eld. When he took a step out of the array, he was rebounded.
“Everyone… everyone, please calm down. We at Zhongnan Mountain were forced into this situation. Ever since you arrived, our people have developed a strange illness. They’ve grown tumors all over their bodies. One of you must have poisoned them. Once I’ve investigated this matter, I’ll naturally let you leave.” Mo Ting’s eyes swept across the crowd, cold and venomous.
The Daoists behind him glared angrily at the merchants too.
The merchants immediately wilted and glanced suspiciously at the people around them, but they couldn’t see anyone suspicious.
One of them was unhappy. “Maybe you’ve offended someone. What does it have to do with us merchants?” If they couldn’t find the culprit, were they going to be confined here forever? That would be illegal imprisonment.
Mo Ting glanced at him coldly. “This strange illness only started to spread after all of you came up the mountain. Could it be that you can escape responsibility? Or could it be that you were the one who poisoned him?” He looked at the person who spoke.
That person shrunk his neck and muttered softly, “It’s not me. My family sells jade. It has nothing to do with me.”
Everyone fell silent.
Xiao Han took out a fan and fanned it in his hand before looking at Mo Ting. “I’m the only child of the Xiao family. You can investigate the people, but you have to send me down the mountain before tomorrow. Otherwise, my family is not to be trifled with.” He looked impatient.
