The night passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the morning of the next day. As soon as the sun rose, the entire Qingyang City was already bustling with noise and excitement. The streets and alleys were filled with people, and even outside the city gates, there were large waves of people gathering in the direction of Qingyang City. If one observed carefully, they would discover that although these people seemed to be rushing towards Qingyang City, they were actually gathering in the same direction. That was the most prosperous street in the entire Qingyang City and also the most central area of Qingyang City. There was an auction house called the Heavenly Cloud Auction House, which was controlled by the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the southwest region. It was a true giant, and its influence spread throughout the southwest region. Its strength was so terrifying that even the four major forces of the southwest region did not dare to provoke it. The wealth it possessed was unimaginable, and even the savings of any one of the four major forces over the years could not be compared to the wealth of the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce. If not for the fact that the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce had no intention of competing for the position of the overlord of the southwest region, the four major forces of the southwest region would have already become history in the Yuanwu Continent. From this, one could see the terrifying strength of the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce. It was no wonder that even a small auction would attract so many people's attention.
The Liu Residence. Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, disappeared in a flash. He stood in front of the wooden door of the room and reached out to open it. Outside the room, Liu Huabai was also standing in front of Xiao Yan's door. Just as he was about to knock on the door with his right hand, the wooden door in front of him suddenly opened. Liu Huabai was startled, and his body unconsciously jumped back half a step. When he saw Xiao Yan standing in front of the door, Liu Huabai reacted and hurriedly smiled at Xiao Yan.
"Haha, elder has already woken up? That's good. Junior will take you to see the annual auction of Qingyang City. Perhaps you won't be interested in many of the items, but as long as you go, it will be giving face to the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce. This will also be beneficial to my Liu Clan, so …"
"Alright, I said I'll be there. Let's go. Let me see if this Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce is really that big of a deal."
Liu Huabai wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xiao Yan. Liu Huabai walked out and headed out of the Liu Mansion. Liu Huabai hurriedly followed when he saw this. He walked together with Xiao Yan and explained some of the strength and background of the Heavenly Cloud Merchant Association. However, due to Qingyang City being located in a remote area, Liu Huabai did not know much about the Heavenly Cloud Merchant Association. He only knew that the Heavenly Cloud Merchant Association had arrived in the south-western region two hundred years ago. Although it had only been a short time, it had developed rapidly and had a deep foundation. It was not inferior to some of the older factions. This caused Xiao Yan to raise his eyebrows slightly. He quietly remembered this information in his heart. He had no choice but to pay attention to such a faction. It should be known that even someone as strong as Liu Feng had died under the combined efforts of those few older factions. Since this Heavenly Cloud Merchant Association was able to survive for two hundred years, it definitely had some extraordinary strength. Hence, it was not wrong for Xiao Yan to pay attention to it.
The horse pulling the carriage was a reddish-brown rank 7 Magical Beast, Fierce Sun Colt. This kind of Magical Beast was rare in the wild because most of them were tamed by humans and used as a means of transportation. Due to this horse's weak attacking strength, it was difficult for it to survive in the wild. Hence, any Fierce Sun Colt that possessed some intelligence would come to the human's textile market to seek a good master in order to survive. At this moment, the Fierce Sun Colt in front of Xiao Yan had been accepted by Liu Huabai when it was at the initial stage of rank 6. It could be said that it was extremely loyal to Liu Huabai and Liu Huabai also took great care of it. If it was not an important person, Liu Huabai would definitely not summon it. However, at this moment, this Fierce Sun Colt, which was usually arrogant and overbearing, was trembling all over at this moment. It was as though it had seen some wild beast. This also caused Liu Huabai's heart to be shocked. It should be known that this Fierce Sun Colt had glared at an elite Dou Zun a couple of years ago. However, it actually revealed such a terrified expression when it saw Xiao Yan. Could it be …
Thinking until this point, Liu Huabai's eyes suddenly shrunk. The gaze he used to look at Xiao Yan was filled with shock. If Xiao Yan really had that kind of strength, then his Liu clan would really have the hope of becoming one of the many factions in the south-western region.
Xiao Yan glanced at the Fierce Sun Colt in front of him, which was trembling non-stop. His eyelids twitched. He turned his head helplessly and said to Liu Huabai beside him.
"Looks like I won't be able to sit in this carriage of yours."
Liu Huabai's heart was greatly shocked when he heard this. He was just about to say something when he saw that Xiao Yan had already turned around and walked toward the auction house. All that was left was a somewhat frail back and the Fierce Sun Colt that was trembling non-stop.
— — —
After a short while, Xiao Yan and Liu Huabai brought the group of people from the Liu clan to the entrance of the auction house. The crowded flow of people did not disappoint this grand auction. Wave after wave of people continuously walked toward the entrance of the auction house. Although there were many strong men blocking the entrance of the auction house, they were still unable to completely block off the crowd. The entrance of the auction house was still extremely chaotic. When the crowd saw Liu Huabai and the others, their expressions simultaneously changed. In the past half a month, the people of the Qingyang City were rather surprised by the Liu clan's great defeat of the Wu clan. Although they heard that the Liu clan had the help of an Almighty this time and directly suppressed the Wu clan with tyrannical strength, causing everyone from the Wu clan to lose their imposing manner and be directly killed on the spot, no one had seen that Almighty. After all, in the situation of a life and death battle between the two clans, who would dare to show their faces? If they were mistaken as someone who wanted to benefit from the battle, they would even lose their lives. It was not worth it to lose one's life in order to watch a great battle. There were no people in the Qingyang City who were that stupid.
Currently, the people of the Qingyang City saw that the people from the Liu clan had mustered such a large force for the sake of this auction. Everyone naturally felt quite surprised in their hearts when they saw that the people from the Liu clan had mustered such a large force for the sake of this auction. Various conversations began to spread on both sides of the street. There were also some people who noticed Xiao Yan, who was standing side by side with the head of the Liu clan and the First Elder of the Liu clan. Immediately, a noise that soared to the sky appeared in front of the auction house. The head of the Liu clan, Liu Huabai, involuntarily frowned when he saw this. He exchanged glances with the First Elder, whose expression was the same as his. He was just about to open his mouth and reprimand them when another bear-like roar beat him to it.
"All of you shut up! Move aside! All of you are blocking the path of the head of the Liu clan and the First Elder. Those who do not wish to die, get lost! "
Xiao Yan looked toward the source of the voice when he heard this. The owner of the voice was a fierce-looking, bald man with a knife scar on his face. His body was tall and burly, appearing just like a wild bear. Under his perception, the strength of this middle-aged large man could be considered quite strong in this place. He possessed the strength of a nine star Dou Zong.
At this moment, the middle-aged large man was looking at the passersby by the side with a vicious expression. A cold snort was emitted from his nose and everyone shut their mouths. Only then did he look at Liu Huabai's group with a fierce-looking face. Adding the knife scar on his face, he appeared incomparably frightening. Liu Huabai and the others from the Liu clan felt comfortable when they saw this. However, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched intensely when he saw this smile. This smile was really unparalleled! Just by relying on this frightening smile of his, it was likely that even a person with the same strength as him would have his strength reduced by twenty percent.
The expression on Xiao Yan's face was naturally seen by the large man. He was just about to become angry when he was stopped by Liu Huabai.
Liu Huabai took a large step forward, cupped his hands toward the large middle-aged man and laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha! Brother Barbarian Xiong, it has really been a long time since we last met! Ha ha ha ha! "
Huh? The large middle-aged man called Barbarian Xiong by Liu Huabai wrinkled his brows, causing the knife scar on his face to wriggle like a maggot. It was a rather disgusting sight. Barbarian Xiong looked at Liu Huabai with an impatient expression. However, when he saw the deep wrinkles between Liu Huabai's brows and the slight shaking of his head, Barbarian Xiong's pupils slightly shrank. Since Liu Huabai was so sure that he wouldn't joke around with him for no reason, the young man beside him might not be ordinary. Could it be …
Barbarian Xiong seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened as he looked at Liu Huabai. However, when he saw Liu Huabai nodding his head slightly, Barbarian Xiong instantly came to a realization. In the next instant, Barbarian Xiong once again piled up his fierce-looking face and threw an extremely frightening smile at Liu Huabai's group. His smile was especially brilliant when he looked at Xiao Yan. However, when Xiao Yan saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched violently. He didn't say anything and forced a smile on his face as he replied to Barbarian Xiong.
Barbarian Xiong didn't mind. He laughed heartily as he strode forward and chatted with Liu Huabai for a while. After that, he looked at Xiao Yan and cupped his hands as he laughed heartily.
"I presume that your distinguished self is the senior who helped the Liu Clan defeat the Wu Clan and become the number one clan in the Azure Sun City, right?"
Xiao Yan faintly smiled as he glanced at Liu Huabai from the corner of his eyes. This caused Liu Huabai to awkwardly smile before he looked at Barbarian Xiong and said, "That's right.
I was entrusted by someone to help the Liu Clan gain a foothold in the southwest region. "
The moment these words were uttered, the bodies of everyone who heard these words suddenly shook. Their expressions instantly became interesting. Even the expressions of everyone from the Liu clan revealed a solemn expression at this moment. Even though Xiao Yan was a senior, he was really looking down on the people from the south-western region by being so brazen.
Only Liu Huabai ignored the expressions on the faces of the members of the Liu Clan as he calmly looked at Xiao Yan. Barbarian Xiong raised his eyebrows upon hearing those words. Although it was easy to say that one could gain a foothold in the southwest region, if one didn't have a certain amount of background, then one's life and death would be sealed by saying those words. However, since the person in front of him dared to say such exaggerated words in front of the members of the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce, he presumably wasn't some ordinary person. Barbarian Xiong's eyes turned as he cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan and laughed heartily.
"Senior is truly bold! I presume that with senior's help in the future, not to mention gaining a foothold in the southwest region, even becoming a peak power wouldn't be a problem for the Liu Clan! Then, I must congratulate Patriarch Liu! To be able to gain the help of such a senior, it looks like I'll need Patriarch Liu's help in the future! "
As Barbarian Xiong spoke, he turned his head towards Liu Huabai with a terrifying smile on his face. Liu Huabai wrinkled his brows upon seeing this. Just as he was about to reply, Xiao Yan beat him to it. Xiao Yan faintly smiled and replied without turning his head.
"Become a peak power in the southwest region? That will depend on the Liu Clan's luck. In short, as long as the Liu Clan isn't destroyed, the rest is up to you! If someone wants to destroy the Liu Clan, I don't mind letting them have a taste of having their clan destroyed. "
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a cold light shot out from his eyes and tore apart the space in front of Barbarian Xiong, causing him to disappear into the void. Barbarian Xiong's face instantly changed and he hastily cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan.
"Yes! Senior is an almighty expert. Who would be so blind as to offend the Liu Clan? Senior, please be at ease. Junior will live in Azure Sun City from now on and build the city together with Patriarch Liu. If anyone dares to offend the Liu Clan, I, Barbarian Xiong, will be the first to not let them off! "
As Barbarian Xiong finished speaking, he even fiercely patted Liu Huabai's shoulder, causing Liu Huabai to curse inwardly. However, he endured the pain and grinned along with Barbarian Xiong. Liu Huabai naturally understood that Xiao Yan was making preparations for his departure. After all, once Xiao Yan left, the Liu Clan's strength would be greatly reduced. Even with the golden plaque, it would be difficult for them to support the entire clan in a short period of time. If someone could take the initiative to help the Liu Clan, then the Liu Clan's troubles would be reduced by a lot. This would also be beneficial to the future development of the Liu Clan. Therefore, although his body was in pain, it was worth it for the future of the Liu Clan.
Everyone chatted in front of the auction house for a long time. Finally, a deafening bell rang in everyone's ears. Only then did Barbarian Xiong react. Everyone had clearly come to participate in the auction, but because of Xiao Yan, they had stayed outside the auction house. This caused Barbarian Xiong to feel slightly embarrassed. He scratched his head and laughed towards Xiao Yan and the others.
"Hahahaha! I was so engrossed in chatting with Senior Xiao Yan today that I forgot about the auction. I'm really sorry, everyone. Haha! Let's go! After today's auction ends, I'll treat Senior Xiao Yan and everyone to a meal to make up for today's mistake, okay? Hahahaha! Senior Xiao Yan, please! Hahahaha! "
After saying that, Barbarian Xiong led Xiao Yan and the Liu Clan into the auction house.
