Following the appearance of the middle-aged man and Xiao Tian behind him, the noise in the area where the crowd was located immediately became much softer. Some of the stronger people had unnatural expressions.
At this moment, Annan, who was standing in front of Xiao Yan, was slightly startled when he saw the middle-aged man. He could not help but become a little gloomy as he said in a serious voice,
"Zhao Jin, you have indeed come."
Although Annan had already expected Zhao Jin's appearance, he did not expect to meet him here.
"Humph, even your An clan has received the news. How can I, Zhao Jin, not know? There are not many times that an Yi class Dou Technique is auctioned in Shu Yang City. In the past, my Zhao clan had obtained it three times. I wonder how confident Clan Head An is this time?"
Zhao Jin coldly smiled. His words did not leave any face. Annan's expression involuntarily became a little ugly after these words were spoken. Even his face could not help but tremble slightly.
Xiao Yan, who was by the side, also frowned slightly. The way this father and son of the Zhao clan acted was exactly the same. It was no wonder that they were disliked. At the same time, he also noticed the matter of the Yi class Dou Technique in his heart.
The Xiao clan had strict control over high class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques. These things would not easily be leaked out. It was unexpected that an Yi class Dou Technique would be auctioned in this city. This caused Xiao Yan to be a little surprised.
"There is no need for Clan Head Zhao to worry. The outcome of the auction will naturally be revealed when the time comes."
Annan clenched his teeth and spoke in a deep voice.
"Humph humph, alright. However, Clan Head An better not disappoint me when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be very boring."
Zhao Jin coldly smiled with disdain. He had long since stopped caring about the An clan. With his Origin Venerate cultivation, the current Zhao clan could be said to be changing rapidly. His Zhao clan was the strongest among the subordinates of the Xiao clan. Although the An clan controlled Tian Yang City alone, they were merely struggling at death's door.
"As for you, Xiao Yan … I didn't want to pursue the matter of you injuring my son a month ago because you're a junior. However, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and mischievous, committing the same crime again and again. A mere outsider dares to rebel against your superiors. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Mingjie and the other members of the Zhao Family behind him immediately revealed expressions of disdain. Gazes filled with ridicule and disdain were also cast over. Resentment surged in Zhao Mingjie's eyes.
On the other hand, Xiao Tian frowned slightly after hearing these words. He glanced at Zhao Jin and a glint flashed across his eyes. A chill rose in his heart.
In recent years, as the Zhao clan grew stronger with the support of Xiao Jinghong and the others, the morale of the members of the Zhao clan also soared. Some ordinary members of the Xiao clan even looked down on them. Although the higher-ups of the Xiao clan were aware of this, they usually turned a blind eye to it. However, Zhao Jin's words had touched a taboo in Xiao Tian's heart.
"Firstly, Zhao Mingjie was injured because his skills were inferior and he is a piece of trash. Secondly, in the entire Xiao clan, the Zhao clan doesn't even have the qualifications to appear on the stage. How can you rebel against your superiors? Thirdly, it's not up to you to decide whether I am an outsider or not in the Xiao clan. Clan Head Zhao thinks too highly of himself."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His mocking words didn't contain the slightest trace of politeness. As a result, Zhao Jin couldn't help but pull a long face when he heard these words. Xiao Tian, who was behind him, curled his lips and smiled faintly.
"Sharp-tongued brat!"
Zhao Jin's expression was dark and solemn as he cursed in a low voice. Immediately, a frightening aura and pressure abruptly spread from his body. The powerful pressure immediately caused the expressions of quite a number of people present to change. Even the expression on Xiao Yan's face had become grave. The Genesis Qi in his body was swiftly maneuvered. While resisting the pressure, he was also preparing to face Zhao Jin's next move.
"Xiao Yan, I originally did not intend to pursue the matter of you injuring my son a month ago on account of you being a junior. However, I never expected you to be so stubborn and mischievous. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to teach you a lesson on behalf of your ancestor!"
Zhao Jin's eyes were dense as he stared at Xiao Yan. A ferocious smile surfaced on his face. Being the clan head of the Zhao clan, he was naturally aware that Shu Yang City was a territory that the Xiao clan was in charge of. Even if the members of the Xiao clan did not have a good impression of Xiao Yan, they would definitely not allow him to attack. However, it was not difficult to teach Xiao Yan a lesson before the experts from the Xiao clan arrived. As for the outcome, it was likely that the Xiao clan would not be overly entangled as long as Xiao Yan did not die.
A cold glint surged within Zhao Jin's eyes as he let out a cold laugh. His body suddenly flashed forward and rushed toward Xiao Yan in a lightning-like manner. At the same time, a frightening wind that contained a powerful pressure swept forward with him.
Xiao Yan's expression changed rapidly. Genesis Qi gushed out from his body without reservation, and the Heavy Xuan Ruler reflexively appeared in his hand as he prepared to meet Zhao Jin's attack.
Buzz!
Immediately after, another powerful wave of energy soared into the sky. The powerful pressure formed an invisible barrier in front of Xiao Yan and the others. Annan, who had been enduring silently, finally took a heavy step forward. He looked up at Zhao Jin with a grave expression, gritted his teeth, and threw out a palm strike.
"Boom!"
A muffled collision suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of many people in the surrounding area. Astonished gazes quickly converged on the scene. Zhao Jin stood still while Annan took a few steps back with a heavy expression. A muffled groan escaped his throat before he looked back at the other side.
"You dare to stop me?"
Zhao Jin glared at Annan with a dark expression and said in a chilling voice.
"I just want to advise patriarch Zhao to respect himself. You and I are both subordinates of the Xiao clan. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the higher-ups for attacking a member of the Xiao clan in public?
"He's just a trifling outsider. With my status, even if I killed him, so what? Get the hell out of my way!"
With a furious roar, Zhao Jin waved his sleeve and shot out a powerful stream of energy towards Annan. The latter's expression changed rapidly. As he retreated, Genesis Qi gushed out from his body. Just as he was about to attack, everyone suddenly heard the ear-piercing cry of a sword. Then, the stream of energy was cut in half by a scarlet-red sword. At the same time, a disdainful and mocking laughter rang out.
"Patriarch Zhao is truly awe-inspiring. You're a mighty Origin Venerate, yet you've personally taken action to deal with a Origin Sect junior. Once news of this spreads, I'm afraid that not only will you be branded as someone who bullies the weak, but you'll also be accused of overstepping your authority."
A middle-aged man wearing a crimson long robe slowly appeared in front of everyone's sight after the laughter sounded. His body blocked the front of Xiao Yan's group. He curled his mouth and his face carried ridicule as he looked at Zhao Jin.
"Fan Jian, you're here?"
Seeing this person, Zhao Jin's expression instantly changed. He couldn't help but exclaim as he stared at the red-robed middle-aged man in front of him in surprise.
On the other side, while Xiao Yan was staring at the figure in front of him in bewilderment, a fair hand gently landed on his shoulder.
Buzz!
Xiao Yan's heart was greatly alarmed in an instant. He subconsciously raised the giant ruler in his hand as the Genesis Qi in his body immediately erupted. When he turned his head, the first thing that entered his eyes was a familiar handsome face. All the movements of his hands came to a sudden halt at this moment.
