章 226: Ascension to Immortality Auction

A month or so later…

It was noontime. The scorching sun was shining high up in the sky. The sky was clean, and it seemed as if it had been bathed in blue color. There was no cloud in the sky as far as the eye could see.

An area of dozens of acres of woods was scattered on either side of the ten-feet-wide road. The luxuriant growth of branches and foliage were adequate-enough to render a cool and refreshing feeling.

A luxurious horse-drawn carriage was parked on the left side of the woods. It was drawn by two pure-white and graceful horses. And, a grey-robed stableman was feeding water and fodder to these horses.

Twenty or more people could also be seen around the horse-cart. They were either in a standing or a sitting position. They seemed to be guarding the carriage. Their eyes were smeared with a touch of vigilance.
