Just as the black figure entered the room, Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Is there any problem?"
"No, but there are quite a few people following me in secret. Although I can easily shake them off, they always find me not long after. I think they should be the local forces of Phoenix City. They have a lot of spies in Phoenix City. Unless I can change my appearance, there's no way I can shake them off." The black figure spoke in a very calm tone. This person was Dugu Feng.
"Yes, this kind of situation is within my expectations. After all, Class 5 Monster Cores are too rare in a place like Phoenix City. It's hard not to attract their attention." Jianchen pondered for a moment and said, "Dugu Feng, hide well during this time. Don't let them find you. Also, don't expose your strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect my plan."
"I understand." Dugu Feng replied expressionlessly. Although he was very puzzled as to why Jianchen wanted him to do this, he didn't ask.
"Go. We'll meet up after the auction is over." Jianchen said.
Dugu Feng nodded slightly. Without saying anything, he turned into a black figure and disappeared outside the window. He didn't make a single sound.
Jianchen waved his hand lightly and the wide open window automatically closed …
The news that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House was going to auction off two Class 5 Monster Cores spread like wildfire in all directions. The speed was so fast that it was shocking. Just as the news of the Class 5 Monster Cores spread out from the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, someone used a specialized flying Monster Beast to spread the news in all directions. In just a short four hours, all the major forces within a radius of a thousand miles knew about it, causing a huge commotion.
Class 5 Monster Cores usually only appeared in first-rate cities. Moreover, they were extremely rare items. This time, however, they actually appeared in a second-rate city. Moreover, two of them appeared at once. This caused everyone who heard the news to feel extremely shocked and incredulous.
However, the leaders of all the forces immediately made emergency arrangements and brought the experts of their families to Phoenix City. Even though there were still a few days before the auction of the Class 5 Monster Core, they still looked impatient.
On the second day after the news spread, some of the powers near Fengyang City rushed over on their magical beast mounts. Almost all of them brought over a hundred people.
As these people settled in Fengyang City, the local powers of Fengyang City also felt the pressure increase. The three great clans and the City Lord's Manor also joined forces, forming a deterrent force in an attempt to intimidate these powers. Although it was impossible for the two sides to engage in a fierce battle, at the very least, they had to let these foreign powers know who Fengyang City belonged to, so that they wouldn't dare to act too presumptuously in Fengyang City.
With the arrival of these people, the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House also became lively. Almost every day, people from various powers would come to inquire about the Class 5 Monster Core. On one hand, they wanted to confirm whether the auction of the Class 5 Monster Core was true. On the other hand, they wanted to find out the exact origins of the Class 5 Monster Core.
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House did an extremely good job of keeping secrets, these foreign powers weren't simple. After spending some time, they roughly understood some information about the Class 5 Monster Core. As for Dugu Feng, who had come to sell the Class 5 Monster Core, the various powers slowly came to know about him.
At this time, Dugu Feng was also targeted by these powers. Because Dugu Feng didn't know how to change his appearance like Jianchen, even though he was an Earth Saint Master, it was difficult for him to find a place to hide in Fengyang City with so many people searching for him in every corner of the city. Even if he found a remote place to hide, he would be discovered again very quickly. And with Dugu Feng's innately arrogant nature, when faced with people of this level searching for him, he was extremely disdainful and carefully hid. Furthermore, Jianchen also told him not to reveal his strength. This caused him to be tied up, and he couldn't use his strength to intimidate people. In the end, he was forced to temporarily leave Fengyang City.
The news of Dugu Feng leaving Fengyang City was naturally known by many powers, but the area outside Fengyang City was incomparably vast. With Dugu Feng's strength as an Earth Saint Master, how could he be caught by these people who were at most Great Saint Masters? Therefore, after Dugu Feng left Fengyang City, the various powers lost track of him. This caused the leaders of the various powers to feel incomparably vexed.
In Sunphoenix City, in an extremely luxurious room, several people with high authority in the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion were gathered here. And on the bed, a white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged. He was the Pavilion Master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion. After he found out that the item being auctioned in Sunphoenix City was a Class 5 Demonic Beast Core and not a Class 5 Demonic Beast's corpse, he immediately rushed over personally.
"Zhou Tong, it's said that two years ago, there was an auction for two Class 5 Magical Beast corpses in Fengyang City, and this time, two Class 5 Monster Cores have appeared. Do you think that the person auctioning off the corpses and the person auctioning off the Monster Cores is the same person?" The pavilion master looked at a middle-aged man standing beside him.
Zhou Tong was the vice pavilion master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion. Although he had the appearance of a middle-aged man, his actual age was not much younger than the pavilion master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion.
Zhou Tong pondered for a while, then said, "Although the person who appeared this time is very different from the Wu Yun from two years ago, Wu Yun possesses a strange ability to change one's appearance. Two years ago, if it wasn't for someone drugging him, I'm afraid that all of us would have been fooled by him. Therefore, I think that the person who sold the Class 5 Monster Cores is very likely the Wu Yun from two years ago."
"I've also heard of the matter from two years ago, but this Wu Yun isn't simple. Facing the encirclement of so many experts, he was still able to escape unscathed and even killed quite a number of people. This kind of strength, even I would find it difficult to achieve." The pavilion master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion exclaimed.
Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but recall the soul-stirring scene from two years ago, and said, "This Wu Yun is indeed very strong, but in these two years, his improvement is definitely not small. Otherwise, he wouldn't have auctioned off two Class 5 Monster Cores in Fengyang City."
The pavilion master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion went silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Zhou Tong, it's best that we, the Flowing Cloud Sword Pavilion, don't offend this Wu Yun. If possible, try our best to rope him in. I feel that this person isn't simple."
"Yes, pavilion master!"
… …
In another inn, inside a luxurious room, several middle-aged men were gathered together.
"The one selling the Class 5 Monster Cores this time must be the Wu Yun from two years ago. Hmph, two years ago, Wu Yun killed so many experts of my Youlan Family, causing our strength to decrease greatly. This time, my Youlan Family has practically turned out in full force. We must not forgive him. Not only must we obtain all the Class 5 Monster Cores, we must also make him pay with blood." A middle-aged man gnashed his teeth and said, his eyes flashing with hatred.
… …
Not far from the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, an old man in a black robe stood on the roof of an inn with a sneer on his face. He looked down from high above and muttered, "Wu Yun, Wu Yun, you're really lucky. Two years ago, you fell into a bottomless abyss and actually survived. However, since you've appeared again this time, don't even think of escaping from my hands. Even if your strength has increased a lot in these two years, you're definitely not a match for me and Enske. This time, I've specially invited Enske over to deal with you. My Harido Family is determined to obtain your combat skills."
… …
In these few days, more and more forces came from all over Phoenix City. The news of the Class 5 Monster Cores had spread far and wide. Not only did all the forces with a certain level of strength within a thousand li rushed over, there were also many people who came from far away. There were even some famous families from first-rate cities.
At this moment, Fengyang City was a gathering of dragons. However, the entire city did not become lively with the arrival of these people. Under the calm exterior, there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Even the mercenaries and young masters of the various clans who were walking on the streets had restrained their temper. They no longer dared to be as unbridled as before. This was because they understood in their hearts that if they were to casually offend an ordinary person on the streets, they might have an extremely powerful background. They were not people they could afford to offend.
After all, there was no lack of people who kept a low profile among the various forces.
Seven days passed very quickly. On the day of the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House's official auction, all the forces hidden in various parts of Phoenix City emerged and gathered at the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, their appearance had ushered in a prehistoric peak.
During these seven days, Jianchen and the others passed by very peacefully. The Heiming Clan was busy dealing with the situation in Phoenix City, so they did not have the heart to pay attention to them. Therefore, when Jianchen and the others went out on the streets, they were not followed by anyone.
Outside the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House's main entrance, many influential figures had gathered. They walked in through the auction house's main entrance. However, Jianchen and the others did not enter through the main entrance. Instead, they went through a VIP passageway and directly entered a VIP private room. This VIP private room was something that Jianchen had bought from the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House a few days ago at an exorbitant price.
Jianchen and the others were bored as they sat in the VIP private room and chatted. After waiting for a full two hours, the auction officially began. This auction was highly valued by the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, so the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House's supervisor, Miss Yurian, personally presided over it.
