The Duan Family hadn't sent many people, only a dozen or so. It was even fewer than the various superpowers' representatives. However, when the spectators saw the pale-faced, middle-aged man at the head of the group, they were surprised to see him radiating a dense, chilling aura.
"The Ice Demon, Duan Hanshan! He's actually here? "
"We're in for a good show. The Ice Demon's combat standards aren't any lower than Hermit's. In fact, he's even stronger than Hermit in a direct confrontation. Hermit has maintained a neutral stance, refusing to interfere with either side's affairs. However, Duan Hanshan is a different story. He's famous for shielding his own."
When the various superpowers' representatives saw the middle-aged man leading the group, they watched with anticipation.
Duan Hanshan was the strongest member of the Duan Family's second generation. His position in the Azure Chamber of Commerce was no less than that of the Assassin Hermit. Duan Hanshan had been fighting on the western continent all this time, and he was even more famous than Hermit. Although he was known as the Ice Demon, his fiery temper was well known throughout the Azure Chamber of Commerce.
However, after Duan Hanshan appeared, he didn't head straight for the VIP seats. Instead, he walked up to Shifeng, his icy aura causing the various superpowers' Refinement Realm experts to shudder.
"You're the Hei Yan who killed Prideful Brute at the entrance?" Duan Hanshan asked coldly as he looked at Shifeng.
Everyone in the room revealed knowing expressions at Duan Hanshan's question.
Although they were inside the Azure Chamber of Commerce's Auction House, Duan Hanshan wasn't the type to care about such matters. If Shifeng didn't respond well, he wouldn't let him off so easily.
"That's right. Do you need something from me?" Shifeng nodded, not bothering to hide his question. He acted as if he hadn't sensed Duan Hanshan's killing intent at all.
Everyone in the room gasped when they heard Shifeng's question. They all stared at Shifeng in astonishment.
"Is he insane? He's still trying to act tough at a time like this?" The blue-clad Assassin youth, who had arrived on the second floor, stared at Shifeng with wide eyes.
Who was Duan Hanshan?
Shifeng was the western continent's God of Slaughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been known as the Ice Demon. Even the various superpowers' Guild Leaders had to treat him with respect, yet the Shifeng acted as if nothing had happened. Shi Feng couldn't help but admire the Shifeng.
"He probably doesn't know about the Ice Demon. After all, Ling Yi is just a Guild in a kingdom. He probably doesn't know much about the western continent." The corner of Jade Bamboo's mouth twitched when she saw this. "However, since he dares to speak to the Ice Demon in such a manner, he's definitely finished this time."
Hermit had always maintained a neutral stance in the Azure Chamber of Commerce, so it was normal that he did not wish to meddle in the affairs of the two Guilds. However, Duan Hanshan was different.
Just as Shifeng finished speaking, Duan Hanshan's killing intent suddenly soared, causing everyone present to feel immense pressure.
"Very good! Young man, you've got guts. It seems that if I don't make a move on the eastern continent, no one will take the Azure Chamber of Commerce seriously in the future. "Duan Hanshan was furious, and the surrounding Mana began to gather around him. It caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"With this, Hei Yan is finished."
Everyone understood that Duan Hanshan was truly furious. Now, even Silent Wonder and Cloud Hunter were powerless against him. After all, many of Duan Hanshan's trusted aides were peak experts. They should have no problems holding off Cloud Hunter for a short time.
However, just as the battle was about to break out, a deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall.
"Old Ice Demon, are you trying to break the Chamber's rules?"
As the voice rang out, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the source of the voice.
A middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, who looked to be in his fifties, stepped out of the staircase. This man's aura was not much weaker than Hermit's. Just by standing there, he was like a sharp sword, and none of the Refinement Realm experts dared to approach him.
"Third Uncle, why are you here?" Silent Wonder was surprised to see this middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was none other than Long Xianglong, one of the Long Family's second-generation leaders. He was also one of the Guild's Grand Elders and Silent Wonder's third uncle. However, as he had been obsessed with improving his combat standards, he had not been managing the Chamber's affairs for many years.
"Your father has other matters to attend to, so he can't come in person," Long Xianglong said, smiling. A rare smile appeared on Long Xianglong's face as he looked at Silent Wonder. He then shifted his gaze to Duan Hanshan and said, "Old Ice Demon, today is Azure's competition. Do you intend to take action here? Or do you no longer care about the Chamber's rules? "
Duan Hanshan's expression froze at Long Xianglong's words.
"Lunatic Long, I'll give you face this time. However, your people won't be so lucky next time," Duan Hanshan said as he glanced at the Shifeng. He then turned and left.
Cloud Hunter, who stood beside Duan Hanshan, breathed out a sigh of relief. He was speechless at the Shifeng's careless attitude.
Fortunately, Long Xianglong had arrived. Attacking a guest in Azure's territory was indeed a violation of the Chamber's rules. However, if the Ice Demon insisted on taking action, no one would be able to do anything about it.
Both Long Xianglong and the Ice Demon were equally strong. However, Long Xianglong had reason. The Ice Demon would be punished by his superiors.
After seeing the Ice Demon leave, Long Xianglong approached the Shifeng.
"Young man, don't be so impulsive next time. That Old Ice Demon is capable of doing anything," Long Xianglong warned the Shifeng. He then shifted his gaze to Silent Wonder and said, "Wonder, your grandfather misses you dearly. If not for this competition, he would've sent you home long ago. Once the competition is over, you can return with me."
Based on the previous scene, he understood that the Shifeng was too impulsive. If he allowed Silent Wonder to stay in Ling Yi, it was only a matter of time before something happened.
"Return? No, I still want to develop here. In any case, Burning Owl and Big Sis Silk can handle the Chamber's matters. It doesn't matter if I return or not, "Silent Wonder said, shaking her head." Moreover, I'm doing quite well in Ling Yi. "
"Nonsense! Your talent is only second to Silk Moon's. Once the competition is over, everything will be over. Regardless of the competition's outcome, the Chamber will fully support you. You'll improve much faster than you do now, "Long Xianglong said, glaring at Silent Wonder.
What was the Azure Chamber of Commerce?
It spanned across two continents. The resources it possessed were unimaginable to ordinary superpowers. Silent Wonder's future in the Azure Chamber of Commerce wasn't something she could achieve in Ling Yi.
Letting Silent Wonder stay in Ling Yi would be a waste of her talent. Moreover, the Long Family's third generation needed more pillars of support. Burning Owl and Silk Moon wouldn't be enough.
"Third Uncle, I've made up my mind. Moreover, I think I'll be fine in Ling Yi. You don't have to try to persuade me otherwise," Silent Wonder said, shaking her head.
Just as Long Xianglong was about to try to persuade Silent Wonder again, a group of people entered the hall, attracting the attention of the crowd.
The superpower that had just arrived was none other than Giant's Heart, a Guild that could rival the Super Guild Pride Empire. In fact, Giant's Heart was even stronger than Pride Empire's naval forces.
Developing at sea was a top priority for the various superpowers, and Giant's Heart was incredibly powerful at sea. It was only natural that the various superpowers wanted to ally with the Guild.
Meanwhile, Giant's Heart's representative was none other than White Autumn, one of Giant's Heart's Vice Guild Leaders. White Autumn was a character that the various superpowers feared because he had the Sea God's blessing. He was practically invincible at sea, and he had been the reason why Pride Empire had suffered a major setback a few days ago.
When White Autumn entered the hall, the various superpowers' upper echelons immediately stepped forward to greet him. Even Duan Hanshan and Long Xianglong, Azure's Ice Demon, took the initiative to speak to White Autumn in an attempt to improve their relationship.
However, shortly after White Autumn finished exchanging pleasantries with the crowd, he walked up to Shi Feng and stood before him.
"Greetings, President Hei Yan. I am White Autumn, Giant's Heart's Vice Guild Leader. I've heard a lot about you, and today, I finally get to meet you," White Autumn greeted the Shifeng enthusiastically.
