Night gradually enveloped the entire city. In the distant sky, the bright moon hung high up in the sky like a silver plate, sprinkling down a thin layer of snow-white sand that covered the sky and covered the earth …
The city in the night gradually quietened down. The bustling and bustling of the day was pulled down by the arrival of night. Only when the sun rose tomorrow would this vast stage be pulled open once again.
The snow-white moonlight enveloped the entire city. From time to time, strange bird cries would resound between the heavens and the earth. They were heavy and urgent, as if they were telling an extremely terrifying story. Coupled with the night, it created an additional strange atmosphere between the heavens and the earth.
On the surface, the entire city looked especially quiet. There were no lights and no hustle and bustle. In the dark corners of the city, there were ghostly shadows flickering. It was unknown whether they were rats or poisonous snakes.
Lin Family Mansion.
In the guest room, Xu Songming's face was gloomy. Ever since he returned to the Lin Family Mansion this morning, he had been sitting here for an entire day. In his mind, he carefully recalled all the alchemists he had met in the past and even the entire Alchemist Alliance, hoping to find out the origin of this black-robed youth.
However, it was a pity that no matter how hard he racked his brains, he was still unable to obtain any useful information. Under the sleeves of his robe, the old man's withered hands were tightly clenched together. His old face was extremely gloomy. Today's matter not only did not allow him to vent his anger for his granddaughter, it also caused him to lose face once again. If this matter were to spread to the ears of the group of old fogeys in the Alchemist Alliance, it would really become a joke.
"Bang!"
A heavy palm landed and the table under the old man's hand instantly exploded, turning into fragments that shot in all directions.
Outside the door, the attendant could feel the biting cold killing intent from within the room. His face could not help but reveal a trace of fear as he hurriedly retreated.
"Damn it! Even if I found the information, what's the use? This brat already became a Tier 3 alchemist at such a young age. His accomplishments are even above mine. Even if I found his information … I'm still the same, unable to harm a single hair on his head! "
Standing up, Xu Songming lifted his head and stared at the beam of the room. Flames of anger rose in his gloomy old eyes. Immediately after, he could not help but cough violently. This was what Xiao Yan had given him today. Just one punch had caused him to suffer heavy injuries. Even with the help of pills, he was unable to recover to his peak in a short period of time.
Xiao Yan's strength had already far surpassed that of ordinary Half Martial Emperors. Even though he was an eight star Half Martial Emperor, in Xiao Yan's eyes, he was no different from a Dou Sheng, an ant.
Next door, the girl in the red dress had calmed down. She was sitting at the table in a daze. She wasn't like Xu Songming. She was weak like an ordinary girl who didn't have the strength to truss up a chicken. Of course, that was just how she looked. After all, in Xuan City, everyone knew that she was a half-step Great Emperor. Who would dare say that she was weak?
"Creak …"
The door was suddenly opened. An old man with a gloomy expression walked in with a walking stick in his hand.
"Wu wu wu … Grandfather!"
Seeing the person who had walked in, the young girl with a dull expression immediately recovered. Tears immediately flowed out from her red eyes. It was as if she had been wronged and also as if she had been humiliated. No one knew what kind of emotion was contained within those tears.
A poisonous snake had no tears. Everyone knew how vicious it was. Although humans had tears, no one knew if those tears were sincere or fake.
"Hmph, crying. All you know is to cry. If crying was useful, why did you ask me to attack!"
Seeing the young girl sobbing again, the old man was merciless. He coldly reprimanded. Immediately, the young girl appeared as if her throat was blocked. Soft sobbing noises were emitted from her nose and gradually disappeared.
On the other side, Lin Zehong and his son were seated within the large hall. The two of them had gloomy expressions on their faces. As expected of father and son, their sitting posture and expressions were exactly the same. Perhaps even their temperaments were the same.
It could be said that Lin Ran had inherited everything from his father. Of course, other than his strength.
"Father, what should we do now? Everyone knows that Xuan City is our Lin Family's territory. Now that someone from our Lin Family has been beaten up in our own territory, if we don't get back at him, I'm afraid our Lin Family will be ridiculed by others!"
Lin Ran's face was gloomy. His eyes revealed a sinister look. Towards the black-robed young man today, he was both frightened and resentful.
"Hmph, I will get back at him sooner or later. But now, let's get down to business first. That old man will definitely not let that brat go. Heh, his heart is narrower than ours. It is like the gap between our fingers. Other than time, nothing can pass through. Let him deal with that brat. What we should pay attention to now is the people from the two big families."
"They are here?"
Hearing Lin Zehong's words, Lin Ran immediately frowned. The black-robed young man was not easy to deal with. The people from the two big families were even more difficult to deal with. In order to curry favor with them, the Lin Family had spent a lot of money.
"Not yet, but this auction is going to attract a lot of attention, so they definitely won't miss it. As far as I know, the Bai Family's Patriarch will come personally, and he'll bring his son. The Huo Family will also send an elder with real power. It seems like they know some inside information about the auction, so we have to be careful."
"Oh? Bai Ying's son? It is said that he has been a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor for more than ten years. He is only a trash. His Bai Family will be kicked out of the Four Big Families sooner or later. "
Lin Ran sneered again. He had also heard about Bai Zhan. However, in his opinion, a mere Nine Star Half Martial Emperor would not be able to do anything.
"Hmph, you better be careful when you speak. Regardless of whether he is a trash or not, at the very least, his strength is stronger than the current you. Moreover, his Bai Family is currently one of the Four Big Families. Just based on this point, you must curry favor with him. Only by doing so will Bai Ying have a good impression of us. This is only beneficial to our Lin Family. You must not mess this up!"
Hearing Lin Ran's words, Lin Zehong reprimanded in a deep voice. The latter immediately smiled awkwardly and did not dare to say anything.
After giving a few more instructions, Lin Zehong finally slowly withdrew his gaze. His mind involuntarily recalled the battle this morning. He had never thought that a Half Martial Emperor would actually be able to beat him, a Dou Di, into such a miserable state.
"Brat … you better not fall into my hands!"
… …
The next day.
The moment the morning light scattered on the ground, the entire Xuan City had already completely awakened from the night. The enormous Xuan City was crowded with people and was unusually bustling.
On the bed, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and resting, slowly opened his eyes.
