The sun shone brightly in the distant sky. Today was the day that the auction in Xuan City officially opened. The liveliness and prosperity in the city naturally could not be compared to the past. The sun had only just peeked over the horizon, but the atmosphere in the entire Xuan City had already been swiftly ignited as if it was on fire. The entire city was bustling with noise and excitement. Countless experts had gathered here, their eyes filled with anticipation as they waited for the auction to begin.
The Lin family mansion.
High up in the sky, Lin Zehong and his son, Lin Ran, stood upright and unafraid. Their faces were as warm as the spring breeze, as if they had already forgotten what had happened yesterday.
Just as the two of them were in the air, two figures suddenly rose into the air from the large manor below. In the blink of an eye, they had already appeared beside the Lin father and son.
"Clan leader Lin has woken up early. You actually did not inform me and my grandson. Hahahaha …"
The two people who had come up were Xu Songming and Xu Yao, the grandfather and granddaughter pair. Just like the former, the two of them had also withdrawn their gloomy expressions from the previous day, as though nothing had happened. Before the two of them even came close, Xu Songming had already laughed out loud and joked with Lin Zehong.
"Haha, grandmaster has misunderstood. The two of us just did not want to disturb grandmaster's rest. Moreover, we have woken up so early because we are waiting for someone."
A glint flashed across Lin Zehong's eyes. His eyes stared at Xu Songming in front of him as he spoke meaningfully.
Hearing this, a glint flashed across Xu Songming's sinister old eyes. He rolled his eyes and asked despite knowing the answer.
"May I know who clan leader Lin is waiting for …"
"Haha, yes … oh, they're here!"
Lin Zehong forced a smile. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, two figures covered in white robes suddenly appeared in the sight of the father and son duo. Immediately, Lin Zehong's mouth turned into a soft laugh. At the same time, Xu Songming and Xu Yao by the side also subconsciously looked over.
"Clan leader Bai, I have been waiting here for a long time!"
Before Xu Songming could recover, Lin Zehong had already cupped his hands together and laughed loudly as he spoke to the two white robed figures.
Soon after, Xu Songming and his grandson finally saw the two people. The expression in the old man's eyes immediately hardened. These people were members of the Bai clan, one of the four great clans. One was a middle-aged man while the other was a young man. The middle-aged man was the current clan leader of the Bai clan, Bai Ying. Beside him was Bai Ying's son, Bai Zhan.
Seeing Lin Zehong's gaze shoot over, Bai Ying smiled slightly. Disdain flashed across the depths of his eyes. Even though the Lin clan had done a lot for the Bai and Huo clans over the years, how could the Bai and Huo clans not know their thoughts? Although they were polite on the surface, they were secretly afraid of each other. Of course, the Lin clan was naturally more afraid of the two great clans. After all, with the strength of the Lin clan, there was only one Dou Di, Lin Zehong, in the entire clan.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Zehong and his son had already flown forward. They once again cupped their hands respectfully to Bai Ying and his son. Regardless of their secret relationship, half of the control of Xuan City was currently in the hands of the Bai clan. Without sufficient strength, the Lin clan would ultimately be inferior to the Bai clan.
"Haha, clan leader Lin, it has been a few years since we last met. Your strength has become much stronger!"
Bai Ying casually cupped his hands together. His gaze met Bai Zhan's for a moment before he laughed.
"You flatter me. It is only a small improvement. How can it be compared to clan leader Bai's strength? The current me is likely unable to see through clan leader Bai's strength!"
Lin Zehong parted his mouth and smiled. He did not dare to be careless in his heart. By the side, Lin Ran's gaze had already landed on Bai Zhan. The person in front of him had already stepped into the nine star half Martial Emperor realm for many years. Until now, he still had not advanced to the Dou Di level. This caused him to feel disdain in his heart. He believed that if it was him, with such a family background, his strength would have already stepped into the Dou Di level.
The Bai Zhan in front of him was like a piece of trash in his eyes.
It was unknown how he would feel if he knew Bai Zhan's true strength.
"Haha, I think that this must be young master Bai. I have long heard that young master is a young hero who has already stepped into the nine star half Martial Emperor realm at such a young age. However, it seems that you are about to step into the Dou Di level!"
Lin Zehong's gaze ruthlessly cut at Lin Ran by the side. After the latter withdrew his gaze with an embarrassed expression, Lin Zehong faced Bai Zhan and spoke in a flattering tone.
"Eh, a young hero? He has stayed at the same level for ten years. Can he be considered a young hero? From the way I see it, his strength will stop at this level for the rest of his life! "
However, just as Lin Zehong's words left his mouth, a disdainful sneer suddenly sounded from the sky. At this moment, the gazes of the few people instantly turned around and looked toward the source of the sound. They saw two figures in black robes flying toward them from a short distance away.
One of them was old while the other was young. The old man had a long beard and a shriveled face. At a glance, he appeared to be just skin and bones. The other person was a young man. From his appearance, his age should be about the same as Bai Zhan and Lin Ran.
"Huo Yuning!"
"Huo Ting!"
The instant the Bai father and son saw the two people who had arrived, the expressions in their eyes suddenly became serious. They could not help but cry out in surprise. In their hearts, they were shocked by the appearance of these two people.
"Huo Ting. It is unexpected that the Huo clan has actually sent him to protect Huo Yuning this time around."
Bai Ying knit his brows tightly. His heart involuntarily felt a solemness. This Huo Ting was the long-bearded old man standing behind the black-robed man at this moment. The young man standing in front of him was the current young master of the Huo clan, Huo Tianyi's elder brother, Huo Ting.
Among the two of them, Huo Ting's strength had already reached the initial two star Dou Di class. This point was something that everyone present, other than Lin Ran and Xu Yao, could see. As for Huo Yuning, other than Bai Ying, only Xu Songming could see the strength of this old man. This Huo Yuning was an expert who had reached the advanced three star Dou Di class. Her strength was even a little stronger than Bai Ying.
While this group of people appeared in the sky above Xuan City, Xiao Yan had already spread his Spiritual Strength over the entire Xuan City within a certain remote inn within the city. The scene that was currently occurring in the sky above Xuan City was naturally clearly reflected in Xiao Yan's mind.
Only at a certain moment did Xiao Yan, who had his eyes tightly shut, slowly open them. He frowned slightly and a solemn expression involuntarily flashed across his eyes. It was unexpected that two three star Dou Di had appeared. It was fine if it was Bai Ying, but the old man called Huo Yuning was actually an advanced three star Dou Di class expert. This was much more dangerous!
