The old voice that was filled with dignity reverberated endlessly within the Xiao clan. The expressions of everyone in the clan changed at this moment.
In the sky, Xiao Yuheng was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. He quickly regained his senses and scanned the sky. When he did not see any figure, he bowed respectfully and said in an especially respectful tone, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry, Senior Brother.
"Clan head, Xiao Yuheng accepts the order!"
"Even the ancestor has been alerted!"
The few people beside Xiao Yuheng naturally did not dare to slack off when Xiao Yuheng revealed such an attitude. Soft exclamations were emitted from their mouths as they bowed.
At this moment, Xiao Dingtian's heart trembled violently. His old face instantly turned deathly pale. His body twitched and swayed as though he had aged by a hundred years in the blink of an eye. The other two beside him, Xiao Jinghong and Xiao Gan, also had pale expressions at this moment. The ancestor had personally issued an order and it could be considered as a done deal. They should also understand that from now on, the Xiao Dingtian trio's faction was no longer in power.
… …
Lava Castle.
Due to the fact that there were still over ten days before the auction, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuheng unhurriedly stayed in the city. While they rested, they once again heard some news regarding the auction. However, most of it was the same as what Wan Xing had said. There were even quite a number of people who acted in the same manner as Wan Xing when they spoke of the news that they knew. It was likely that quite a number of people in the city had heard of this news from him.
Xiao Yan did not probe any further after cutting off the source of information. Since it was useless, it was better to spend his time on training. Using the remaining Scarlet Pearls in his hand, Xiao Yan completely refined and absorbed them in the days before the auction. However, he did not know if it was because he had just made a breakthrough or because he had absorbed too much lava energy, but the result when he tried to absorb the Scarlet Pearls in his current state was not very pleasant.
Dawn was about to break. A dark red glow spread over the sky of the city, causing it to appear as though it was dusk.
Streams of people flowed in all directions on the streets, and the shadows of many powers of the central territory had already appeared amongst them. There was no lack of hidden sects that usually kept a low profile but possessed deep resources and reserves. Of course, there were also some formidable experts of the senior generation.
An auction was able to draw out these experts that were usually unknown, and it was sufficient to show its success. Or perhaps, this was sufficient to prove the value of the map of the Fire Banyan Ruins.
The interior of the Lava Castle City was divided into three districts. The factions of the various sects were mainly located in the back of the city. The front half of the city was divided into two districts, the left and right. The location of the Lava Castle Auction this time around was located in the right district. That district had already been occupied by various factions half a month ago. Hence, when Xiao Yan and Xue Ying arrived, they could only see a river of densely packed human heads on the streets.
The bustling noise soared into the sky and finally turned into a terrifying sound wave that swept across. Xiao Yan and Li Wuyou flashed to a building one after another and looked up. At the end of their line of sight, there was a huge auction house that was crouching on the ground like a giant beast.
The two of them were about to fly forward, but in the next moment, a shadow flew over their heads. They looked over and saw a group of figures in luxurious clothes. It seemed to be a team of a certain force in the central territory.
"That's … Ouyang Miao? Even the Ouyang Clan's people have been attracted here. "
Xiao Yan was a little surprised when he saw the leader of the group. Qin Yan by the side also raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be surprised that Xiao Yan was actually related to the Ouyang clan in the Middle Region. He hesitated for a moment before inquiring.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Since you know him, why don't we go over and say hello?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
"No need. Since he's leading a team here, he must have a mission. It's not appropriate to greet him at this time."
Xiao Yan's voice had just sounded when his eyes, which were looking at Ouyang Miao's group, suddenly turned. A white-clothed young man flew over from the empty space beside him. After which, he stood a short distance away from Ouyang Miao's group. The expression in Xiao Yan's eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at the white-clothed young man who had suddenly appeared.
"Bai Zijing, you're here too!"
At this moment, the one who blocked Ouyang Miao's team was Bai Zijing from the Bai Clan, who Xiao Yan had a dangerous battle in the Fire Banyan Forest.
"In this case, two of the three major families in the central territory have already arrived at this auction. What about the Xiao Clan?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan could not help but ponder to himself. If the map at the auction could attract the attention of these two families, the Xiao Clan should have taken action. However, what Xiao Yan did not expect was that the Xiao Clan had indeed prepared to send people here. Moreover, it was Xiao Shaojun and Xiao Siyu. However, after Xiao Shaojun handed over the Fire Banyan token to Xiao Yan, they chose to give up. Now that Xiao Yan was here, it could be considered as representing the Xiao Clan.
After meeting the people from the two large clans, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan ceased procrastinating. They mingled with the many strong people in the sky and swarmed into the entrance of the auction house in front of the street. After following the path in the middle and passing through a couple of turns, they paid a large sum of Spirit Stones and finally entered the viewing gallery of the auction house.
Xiao Yan's gaze scanned his surroundings after entering the auction house. He could sense quite a number of deep Qis in the dark corners around the viewing gallery. Other than that, there were also guards wearing the uniform of the Lava Castle around the auction stage below. The sharp weapons in their hands contained a cold glint that forced back quite a number of people who were near the auction stage.
On the stage, a few elders from Lava Fort stood with their hands behind their backs. The powerful auras that emanated from their bodies caused many people in the auction house to feel a sense of oppression.
It was a long while later when everyone entered the auction stage. An old man wearing a purple robe had appeared on the auction stage at an unknown time. Soon after, a clear 'gong' sound reverberated throughout the entire auction ground, swiftly extinguishing the clamor in the auction ground.
When the sound of the bell slowly dissipated, the purple-robed old man on the stage waved his sleeve gently, and a disk array appeared in the air. After a series of complicated seals, the disk array flashed and a golden light spread until it covered the entire auction stage.
"Tsk tsk … They actually let an advanced array master hold the fort. The Lava Fort has really put in a lot of effort for this auction."
Xiao Yan involuntarily clicked his tongue and exclaimed as he looked at the situation in the arena. His gaze swept over the entire place and immediately let out a laugh. He turned his gaze around and his eyes carried a hopeful expression as he looked at the purple-robed, old man who was strolling to the front of the stage. After waiting for so many days, the curtain on the mysterious map that had caused many factions to become restless was finally about to be drawn.
