Right at the instant the old man that was slashed into two fell to the ground, the pupils of the middle aged man and the other grey clothed old man constricted and their faces flushed red, as if their necks were choked by someone, and they were completely unable to catch their breath!
And right at the instant their eyes were about to split apart, they only saw an extremely swift figure arrive before them in the blink of an eye.
Their heartbeats seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.
Whoosh!
Xiong Quan raised his hand and an azure sword light flashed by, and traces of an unfathomable aura were coiled around it.
Advanced Sword Force!
Two lines of blood shot out violently from where the sword light pointed.
The middle aged man and the grey clothed old man maintained astonished expressions as their bodies trembled before crashing onto the ground without making a sound.
Their pupils stared wide open, and they died with everlasting regret.
Perhaps, even in their dreams, they'd never imagined that the violet-clothed young man they looked down upon would have such a terrifying existence by his side …
"Void … Second level of the Void Prying Stage!"
Ma Qin, who was concealed in the distance, looked at the 3,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes in the sky, and his face instantly went pale. His body started shivering, and his eyes emitted panic and terror.
He never imagined that three Half-step Void Stage experts would all die in the blink of an eye.
What he never imagined even more was that the violet-clothed young man actually had a Void Prying Stage expert by his side, and it was even a second level Void Prying Stage expert!
At this moment, his heart was completely filled with regret.
He shouldn't have been greedy!
Now, not only was the 10 million plus gold that he took to be in his bag gone, he'd even offended this violet-clothed young man that had a Void Prying Stage expert by his side.
"I hope he won't pursue the matter …"
Although this possibility was extremely slim, but Ma Qin still couldn't help but have this thought arise within his heart.
Ma Qin took a deep breath and had a perturbed expression as he lightly prepared to leave.
However.
Whoosh!
Ma Qin's face went completely pale when he saw the person that appeared before him and stopped him, and his voice slightly trembled. "My … My Lord …"
Xiong Quan stared coldly and indifferently at Ma Qin, and didn't pay any attention to him.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a sneer as he walked out in large strides to arrive before Ma Qin, and looked calmly at Ma Qin. "Manager Ma Qin, how have you been …"
Thump!
When Ma Qin saw Duan Lingtian, it was as if he had seen the devil. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling. "Milord, spare me! I shouldn't have been greedy. I shouldn't have told them about Milord's whereabouts … Milord, I was wrong. Please forgive me. "
"Humph!"
Duan Lingtian coldly glanced at Ma Qin. He called out to the two girls and walked back in the direction of the Ma Clan's auction house.
"Xiong Quan, bring him along … Ma Clan, I want them to give me an explanation today!"
Duan Lingtian's voice sounded, causing Ma Qin's face to turn deathly pale.
If this matter alarmed the clan, his fate could be imagined …
The most important thing in an auction house was credibility.
But now, for his own selfish desires, he acted on his own initiative and single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the Ma Family Auction House!
In the Ma Family Auction House, all the guests had already left, leaving only a few Ma Family members.
Backstage of the auction house, four old men gathered together.
"Old man Hu, when you saw that Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% today, you were surely scared silly, right?"
A robust old man in red clothes looked at Hu Jun and laughed heartily.
"Is there even a need to ask? An Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% … However, that young man's luck isn't bad. He was actually able to obtain an Origin Strengthening Pill like that and earned 8,000,000 gold."
Another blue clothed old man nodded, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.
"Unfortunately, we didn't collect the handling fee from that young man … That was 800,000 gold."
The yellow clothed old man sighed with a face full of regret.
"Humph! Short-sighted! Once that Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91% was sold, the reputation of our Ma Clan Auction House would rise along with it. Are you still worried that we won't be able to earn back a mere 800,000 gold in the future? "
Hu Jun glanced at the yellow clothed old man with disdain.
"Does your Ma Clan Auction House still have any reputation to speak of?"
Right at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice sounded out, causing the faces of the four old men, including Hu Jun, to go pale.
Duan Lingtian walked into the backstage in large strides.
"It's you!"
Hu Jun recognized Duan Lingtian, and his eyes squinted. "What did you mean by what you said earlier?"
"Old man Hu, who's he?"
The other three old men looked at Duan Lingtian and frowned, as they were extremely dissatisfied with what Duan Lingtian had said earlier.
"He's the guest that auctioned off that Origin Strengthening Pill with a purity of 91%."
Hu Jun took a deep breath as he spoke.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, the three old men looked at Duan Lingtian in surprise.
"You're asking me what I meant by what I said earlier?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Hu Jun and said indifferently, "Then I want to know even more what your Ma Clan Auction House means … Xiong Quan, bring him in."
Xiong Quan walked in large strides, and in his hand was a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face was ghastly pale, and when he saw Hu Jun and the others, his gaze was slightly evasive, and traces of terror faintly appeared on his face …
"Manager Qin?"
Hu Jun frowned when he saw Ma Qin in Duan Lingtian's hand, then he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Guest, aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Let him go!"
The red-clothed old man had a fiery temper, and he glared fiercely as he took a step forward, wanting to seize Ma Qin from Xiong Quan's hand.
Above him, 150 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form!
Obviously, he was an existence at the Half-step Void Stage.
"Hmph!"
Xiong Quan's gaze went cold, and with a raise of his hand, the strength of over 2,000 ancient mammoths exploded out, and his Origin Energy condensed into a palm print that blasted onto the red-clothed old man, blasting him flying.
Bang!
The red-clothed old man's body transformed into an arrow that left the bowstring and fiercely collided with the wall. Instantly, the entire wall split into pieces, and numerous hideous cracks appeared on it.
Pu!
The red-clothed old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face went ghastly pale as he looked at the over 2,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes that flashed above Xiong Quan. "Void … Void Prying Stage!"
It wasn't only the red-clothed old man who was astonished, the expressions of the three old men including Hu Jun went ghastly pale as well.
"Three Half-step Void Stage martial artists … Not bad."
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed past the three old men besides Hu Jun, and he sized them up before slowly nodding.
When they heard Duan Lingtian and saw Duan Lingtian's attitude, the three old men were angered to the point their faces went livid.
However, when their gazes descended onto Xiong Quan, they suppressed the flames of rage in their hearts.
Endure!
They could only endure.
Not to mention the three of them, even the entire Ma Clan would find it difficult to match an existence at the Void Prying Stage.
"Didn't you go a bit too far when you asked me earlier?"
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised when facing the three silent old men, as Xiong Quan was sufficient to deter them. Duan Lingtian's gaze quickly descended onto Hu Jun as he asked indifferently.
Hu Jun's expression was unsightly, but he still took a deep breath and asked. "Guest, I want to know why you did this?"
"Why did I do this?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted, and the killing intent on his body was awe-inspiring as he looked at Ma Qin who was in Xiong Quan's hand. "You can let him speak."
Instantly, Hu Jun looked at Ma Qin. "Manager Qin, what exactly is going on?"
Ma Qin's face was ghastly pale. What should he say?
Could it be that he coveted the wealth in the possession of this violet-clothed young man, and joined forces with others to kill the violet-clothed young man and seize everything of the violet-clothed young man?
"Ma Qin!"
The other three old men were all existences at the Half-step Void Stage, and they were Supreme Elders of the Ma Clan. Presently, their gazes descended onto Ma Qin as well.
Ma Qin took a deep breath, as he knew that he had to speak, and he hurriedly said, "Supreme Elders, Lord Hu Jun, the matter is like this … In tonight's auction, the Magnolia Trading Company's Xia Guang was in room number 7, and he took a fancy to the Goldfur Mouse that this guest obtained."
"When the auction was about to end, he came looking for me and made a promise that so long as I told him the whereabouts of this guest, then after he killed this guest, he only wanted the infant Goldfur Mouse … All the wealth in this guest's possession would belong to me."
When he spoke up to here, Ma Qin's face revealed a bitter smile.
Hu Jun and the other three old men's faces went ghastly pale when Ma Qin spoke halfway.
When they heard Ma Qin finish speaking, the expressions of the four old men were exceedingly gloomy, and they glared angrily at Ma Qin. "Ma Qin, as the manager of the Ma Clan Auction House, not only did you not lead by example, you even colluded with others to make a move against a guest … What position do you place our Ma Clan Auction House in? What position do you place our Ma Clan Auction House in?"
Although Ma Qin didn't finish speaking of what happened after that, they were able to roughly guess that the Magnolia Trading Company's Xia Guang was probably doomed.
Ma Qin hung his head dejectedly, as if he'd lost all the strength in his body.
He knew that even if the violet-clothed young man didn't kill him today, even if he was able to escape death, he wouldn't be able to escape the heavy punishment of the clan.
His life could be considered to be completely ruined.
Ruined by the word 'greed.'
If the heavens gave him a chance to start all over again, he wouldn't dare arouse greed even if he was beaten to death.
But unfortunately, all of this was only an extravagant wish, and there was no medicine for regret in this world.
"Do you understand now?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed past the four old men, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. "Now, do all of you still think I'm going too far?"
The corners of the four old men's mouths curled into bitter smiles. Hu Jun took a deep breath. "Guest, this matter is the fault of our Ma Clan Auction House. So long as guest is willing to turn this matter into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing, we're willing to compensate you."
"Yes."
The other three old men hurriedly nodded as well.
It was fine if the young man was only an ordinary young man, but the young man just happened to have a formidable Void Prying Stage expert by his side.
If they were to really infuriate the young man, then not to mention they would die without a doubt, even the Ma Clan would be unable to escape calamity.
"Compensation?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter was extremely brilliant. "If there's compensation … Then everything is easy to discuss. However, I'll say this first, all of you can turn this matter into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing, but … He must die! "
As he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto Ma Qin.
