In Shuyang City, there was a huge plaza outside the auction house. Two figures were standing tall in the air. The two people who were fighting fiercely a moment ago had stopped because of the sound of an old voice.
"How can it be him …"
Fan Jian could not help but breathe as he softly muttered with a trembling voice. His eyes could not help but flicker. Soon after, he glanced at Zhao Jin, who was in the air opposite him. At this moment, the fierceness on the latter's face had long disappeared and was replaced by a submissive expression. His eyes were also filled with astonishment. Compared to before, the current him was like a completely different person.
Fan Jian trembled as he exhaled. His gaze slowly swept across the messy ground below, and then looked at the square, where the atmosphere was a little tense. His gaze turned, and he did not hesitate to bow in the direction of the stone tower. He respectfully bowed, and then retracted the astonishing aura that he had released.
Fan Jian withdrew his gaze and quickly locked onto Ou Yangmiao, who was standing together with Xiao Yan. He gently nodded, raised his eyes, and revealed a row of white teeth at Zhao Jin. With a cold smile, his body moved, and in a flash, he landed on the ground.
After feeling the pressure above his head disappear, Fan Jian once again deeply exhaled. He calmed himself down and walked towards Xiao Yan and Ou Yangmiao. Zhao Jin, on the other hand, was a little unwilling as he clenched his teeth. He quickly glanced at the huge stone tower with fear in his heart. As his body descended, his cold gaze swept across Xiao Yan and Ou Yangmiao. Immediately, he frowned, took a deep breath, and stared at Xiao Yan below. At a certain moment, he strangely sneered and muttered.
"This time, I want to see how you will stay in the Xiao clan."
.....
"Junior Xiao Yan thanks senior for your help!"
Seeing Fan Jian walk forward in a majestic manner, Xiao Yan did not dare to be negligent as he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed.
"Hehe, it's fine. Given Zhao Jin's character, I have long wanted to meet him. Today was just an opportunity. If it weren't for that person stopping me, I would have already skinned him alive."
Fan Jian gently waved his hand when he saw this. His gaze involuntarily glanced at the enormous black tower standing behind Xiao Yan. An expression of fear flashed across his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan could not help but frown. Who exactly was inside the stone tower that could make a Source Venerable reveal such an expression?
"Hehe, Mister Xiao Yan, you have just returned to the clan and must not be familiar with many of the clan's elders. The owner of the voice from before was the clan's second elder."
Appearing to have seen the doubt in Xiao Yan's heart, An Nan by the side hurriedly smiled and stepped forward. After his voice sounded, he did not dare to slight Ouyang Miao and Fan Jian as he cupped his hands together. Although Xiao Yan was able to face them indifferently, he did not dare to be careless. Forget about anything else, just Ouyang Miao's status as the heir was not something that he could easily touch.
"Second elder?"
Xiao Yan's brows twitched when he heard An Nan's words. His eyes immediately looked to the enormous stone tower behind him. It was unexpected that such a person was hidden within this strange stone tower. The second Elder of the Xiao clan. This status was second only to the First Elder and the clan head in the clan. Even the latter had to be a little more courteous when meeting him. It was really a strange thing that such a person had appeared outside of the clan.
"Hehe, it is said that the second elder has a somewhat strange temperament and does not like to stay in the clan. In order to cultivate, he often resides in this stone tower and has not shown himself for many years. I did not expect him to speak today."
Annan slowly spoke as he looked curiously at the huge black stone tower. Fan Jian's expression could not help but turn sluggish when he heard this. He stared blankly at Annan and was speechless in his heart. This was the clan's second elder. With such a status, his location had been revealed so easily. Was he not afraid of being attacked by enemy forces?
"Hehe, don't worry, brat. The fact that the Second Elder of the Xiao clan is cultivating here is not a secret. In the entire Middle Region, there are many people who know about this. In terms of strength, there are countless people who want to kill him. However, in comparison, the name Xiao Yitian is even more terrifying."
Fan Jian chuckled when he saw Xiao Yan's manner. He lifted his head and looked at the small mountain-like stone tower in front of him. His eyes involuntarily flickered with an unusual glint.
Xiao Yan's heart was slightly startled when he heard this. Although the former's words were said in a simple manner, Xiao Yan also understood that when one's cultivation reached Fan Jian's level, every word he said was not baseless. Just imagine how powerful this Xiao clan's second elder was to be able to intimidate so many people with just a name!
"Xiao Yitian. Is this the second elder's name? He is indeed extremely heroic."
"Not only heroic. According to what I know, ever since the second elder's name was established, he has experienced countless battles, both big and small, and has never been defeated in his life. The only time …"
At the mention of Xiao Yitian, even with Annan's current cultivation, a hint of reverence couldn't help but surface on his face. Even Fan Jian, who was at the side, took a deep breath and nodded heavily. However, at the end of their words, the two of them fell silent. After pausing for a moment, their gazes involuntarily landed on Ouyang Miao.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression was startled at first, then his eyes flashed as if he had thought of something. After that, he looked deeply at the huge black stone tower that stood quietly and sighed softly.
"Hehe, if we continue to talk, the auction will probably end soon."
Just as Xiao Yan was lost in thought, Ou Yangmiao's words suddenly broke the strange atmosphere between the few people present. Everyone immediately came back to their senses. Only then did they notice that Zhao Jin's group had already disappeared. They must have entered the auction house.
Looking at the long queue in front of him, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Seeing this, Annan immediately stepped forward and chuckled.
"Hehe, everyone, don't be anxious. Please follow me."
Compared to the former few people, Annan was naturally very familiar with this place. With him in front, everyone could save a lot of trouble.
Following Annan, everyone bypassed many people along the way and walked toward a certain location in the auction house.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, this is the first time you have come to Shuyang City, so you don't know the rules here. I won't say anything else, but there is one thing. As long as you are a member of Xiao Clan, you will get as much convenience as possible here if you take out your identity jade token."
Seeing the vision in front gradually emptying out, and a stone door that no one could pass through stood at the foot of the high wall. While Xiao Yan was surprised, Annan's words immediately came into his ears.
When he heard this, the jade token that Xiao Linger held in her hand the other day immediately appeared in the latter's mind, and he instantly understood in his heart. He never imagined that a small jade token would actually have such an effect. But unfortunately, he didn't have it.
