Xiao Chen was slightly stunned and stopped what he was doing. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he said, "It has been almost two years since I last saw this girl after the Five Nation Youth Competition."
"Tsk tsk! Is this the little fox that I hugged back then? I did not dare to imagine that not only did she manage to take human form, but she even looks so alluring." Ao Jiao's eyes were filled with shock as well.
"Hey, who's that man beside her? His gaze seems to be very ambiguous."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and pulled down the hood of his cloak. He said calmly, "He is probably one of her pursuers. Let's go. It's time for us to go in."
"Wait, you are not going to meet this girl?"
"It is not time yet."
--- Mu Xinya's group of four chatted softly on the street in front of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion.
"I heard that aside from the broken Thunder King's Mulberry Sword, there will be several peak Superior Grade Secret Treasures. Even Sage Grade Secret Treasures, which are even more precious than Superior Grade Secret Treasures, will appear in this auction."
Jiang Zimo spoke calmly, just like when he was in the Sky Dome Realm.
"That's right. This auction is held by the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion only once a year. Although the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion in Hunluo City is not large, it will definitely have many good items. We will definitely be able to buy some of the Secret Treasures that we want in the Star Grave Palace. "
The person who took over the conversation was a rather pretty man beside Bai. His handsome appearance gave off a mesmerizing aura.
His exquisite facial features looked like they were carved. His eyebrows looked like they came from a painting, and his eyes were as black as the stars. It was a face that women would be jealous of.
The only flaw was that although he was handsome, he was slightly lacking in masculinity. His temperament was somewhat feminine. However, this was not a big deal. Some women might even be more attracted to him.
Mu Xinya smiled slightly and said, "Ha ha! Young Master Xuanyu is an outstanding genius of the Silver Moon Spirit Fox Race. It looks like he is confident of obtaining the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting fragment."
It turned out that this person was a Fiend Race cultivator of the Silver Moon Spirit Fox Race. No wonder he was so pretty. After the Spirit Fox Race took human form, they were all handsome men and pretty women; they were very charming.
Xuan Yu smiled faintly and glanced at Mu Xinya. An undetectable possessive look flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "That's easy. The two of you are Xiao Bai's friends. The benefits we obtain this time will definitely include the two of you."
Just at this moment, Xiao Bai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Her eyebrows, which were like willow leaves, were gently knitted together. Her expression was one of pleasant surprise and confusion.
"Bai, what's wrong?"
Xuan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Bai said somewhat uncertainly, "I seemed to have felt Elder Brother Xiao Chen's aura earlier. However, in the blink of an eye, that aura hid itself. I don't know if Elder Brother Xiao Chen is here."
When Mu Xinya and Jiang Zimo heard Xiao Chen's name, their faces lit up with joy. They said, "That can't be wrong, right? This is Hunluo City; it is very far from Haotian City."
Bai squinted slightly and smiled, "That should be wrong. If Elder Brother Xiao Chen was nearby, how could I not see Bai?"
When Xuanyu, who was at the side, heard Bai mention Xiao Chen's name, his expression turned unnatural. There was an expression of jealousy in his eyes.
Xuanyu recovered his composure and smiled warmly. He changed the topic and said, "Let's go, the auction is about to start. If we do not go in now, we will miss it."
The four of them did not notice a black-cloaked person standing below a pavilion not far away. That person was currently watching them enter the gates of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion.
"You are extraordinarily ruthless. Unexpectedly, you took the initiative to hide your aura," Ao Jiao said as she clicked her tongue.
Earlier, when Xiao Chen leaped off the pavilion, he immediately felt a strange connection. Although the blood contract between him and Bai had been erased by An Zixuan, the two of them had been together for a long time.
They had experienced many life and death situations. Some things could not be broken on a whim. It was hard to explain that strange feeling.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to hide his aura. Only then did he barely manage to fool Xiao Chen.
"We have not dealt with Wu Yuankai's problem yet. That Mo Lingtian is not a good person, either. If we meet her now, it will only put her in more danger. As long as I know that she is safe, it will be fine. There will be a chance for us to meet again in the future. "
After a while, Xiao Chen said softly.
"That Silver Moon Spirit Fox cultivator called Xuanyu is very strong, no weaker than Mo Lingtian. Furthermore, based on his appearance, he is not a good person."
Ao Jiao's eyes had always been sharp. The hidden message in Xuan Yu's eyes did not escape her eyes.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Chen not to see it. He said indifferently, "I hope he does not do anything stupid."
Xiao Chen walked forward and soon entered the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion's hall.
The hall on the first floor was completely different from the last time Xiao Chen had visited two days ago. The booths that were originally filled with items for auction had all been moved away and replaced with rows of seats.
It was noisy, and the hall was a boiling cauldron of voices. It seemed to be extraordinarily bustling, and all sorts of discussions could be heard without end.
Xiao Chen looked at his ticket and quickly found the spot that belonged to him. The auction platform was 500 meters in front of him. It was a pretty good seat, and there were no Star Coins to spend.
"This auction is really extraordinary. Not only are there many Martial Sages cultivating in seclusion, but there are also many Martial Sages. The top true inheritors of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School, the Bone Mausoleum Hall, the Blood Shadow Sect, the Magnificent Fiend Hall, the Heavenly Tiger Sect, and the Soaring Serpent Mansion are all here. "
"Most of those Martial Sages are here for the broken sword of the Thunder King, Sang Mu. I wonder, why are the top true inheritors of these large sects rushing over? "
"Indeed, this is really strange. There have been auctions in the past, but I have never heard of the top true inheritors of the six large sects rushing over."
"Never mind, this has nothing to do with us. I just want to see if there is a chance to win a weapon that I can use."
The moment Xiao Chen sat down, some of the discussions nearby entered his ears.
Unexpectedly, the top true inheritors of the six large sects all rushed over. Xiao Chen could not help feeling mildly astonished.
Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense into the hall. Soon, he picked up several strong auras that were no weaker than Wu Yuankai's. Furthermore, they were all young.
If Xiao Chen guessed right, they should be the top true inheritors of the six large sects.
There were several stronger auras in the VIP rooms on the second floor. The Heavenly Sage Laws around them were all as thick as a finger, numbering in the hundreds.
These auras were far from what a half-Sage could compare to. There were also many Martial Sages here.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and entered deep thought. For some reason, he felt that a storm was brewing. This auction was just a prelude to something that was about to happen.
The true inheritors of the six large sects and the hidden strong half-Sages might all be here for the same purpose.
"I wonder if Mo Lingtian calling me over has anything to do with this matter?"
Suddenly, the noisy hall turned quiet. Xiao Chen looked up and saw a white-haired old man wearing luxurious gold-lined clothes slowly walking over from the auction platform.
"Everyone, welcome to Hunluo City's Flourishing Heaven Pavilion's annual auction. I am Old Qin, the host of this auction. I will not speak any nonsense. I will directly reveal the first item. "
Old Qin appeared to be very capable. After a simple opening speech, he directly lifted the black cloth on the auction stage. An exquisite pagoda that looked like a cockroach appeared in front of everyone.
"Boom!"
Old Qin casually waved his hand and infused some Quintessence into the pagoda. The Spiritual Energy in the surroundings started fluctuating intensely. Ethereal sagely music came from the pagoda.
Xiao Chen's pupils constricted as he infused his Spiritual Sense into his eyes. When he looked carefully, he discovered strands of Heavenly Sage Laws around the pagoda.
This was actually a Sage Grade Secret Treasure that surpassed peak Superior Grade Secret Treasures. Several half-Sages would not be able to afford such an item even if they sold everything they had. Even if they bought it, they would not be able to sustain the consumption of such a Secret Treasure.
The cultivators here were at least Superior Grade Martial Monarchs. Their knowledge was not something ordinary people could compare to. Soon, they recognized the origins of this Secret Treasure.
"Unexpectedly, it is a Sage Grade Secret Treasure. This first item is really enviable."
"Pagoda-type Secret Treasures are usually defensive. If I can obtain it, I will be able to protect myself against a Martial Sage."
"Fool, not to mention whether you can afford it or not, you have not comprehended any Heavenly Sage Laws. It would be difficult for you to bring out the might of such a Secret Treasure. You would barely be able to activate it once."
"Hehe! I know, but I was just saying it casually. This Sage Grade Secret Treasure is definitely prepared for those major characters and the true inheritors of the six major factions. We can only look at it."
One Sage Grade Secret Treasure immediately stirred up the atmosphere of the entire auction hall. Old Qin smiled faintly; he was very satisfied with the effect.
"As you all expected, this is a defensive Inferior Grade Sage Grade Secret Treasure. It contains thirty-two Heavenly Sage Laws and can protect one's life at a crucial moment. The starting bid is fifty thousand Astral Coins."
Old Qin stroked his beard as he spoke in a calm voice.
Fifty thousand Astral Coins could be exchanged for at least fifty million Superior Grade Spirit Stones. This was a rather large sum and was suitable as the starting bid for a Sage Grade Secret Treasure.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Right after Old Qin spoke, someone immediately made a bid. Furthermore, the bid was raised to two hundred thousand Astral Coins in one go.
Xiao Chen looked over. The one who made the bid was a young man with sinister eyes, like a venomous snake. He was already a half-Sage.
This person had eleven needle-like black Heavenly Sage Laws around him. His strength was only slightly weaker than the evil man Wu Yuankai's.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and made a mental note of this person. Hunluo Province was not very large, but there were many demonic geniuses gathered here.
For this person to reach half-Sage at such a young age and even comprehend Heavenly Sage Laws, he was not much weaker than the seven giants of the Tianwu Domain.
Unfortunately, when Xiao Chen fought Bai Wuxue, he was only a Medial Grade Martial Monarch and did not have a clear sense of Heavenly Sage Laws.
If Xiao Chen had sensed them at that time and focused his Spiritual Sense on his eyes, he would have been able to see how many Heavenly Sage Laws Bai Wuxue had comprehended.
If Xiao Chen compared this person's strength to Bai Wuxue's, he would have been able to see the difference in strength.
Someone recognized this person and said, "It is the top true inheritor of the Soaring Serpent Mansion, Zuo Guangyuan. He is really rich, directly raising the bid to four times the Astral Coins."
