Xiao Yan's figure stood tall and straight on the high platform in the huge auction ground. Countless number of people shot their gazes over. Surprise surfaced in their eyes.
No one would have thought that this mysterious black-robed person would actually clash with the Huo clan after repeatedly provoking the Lin clan and Xu Songming. This was really a case of a newborn calf not being afraid of a tiger.
Did he not know that the Huo clan was one of the four great clans?
"This guy really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Does he think that he can do whatever he wants just because he's a rank three alchemist? Who is the Huo Clan? It's one of the four strongest clans under the Sky Sword Sect, and it's ranked second. Daring to go against them is simply courting death!"
"That's right. In the entire western region, other than the people from the four great sects, which faction can fight with them? He even dares to provoke the Huo clan. Is he not intentionally seeking death?"
"I think that he is about to suffer a calamity!"
In an instant, numerous pitiful or disdainful words were emitted from the crowd. Just from those words, one could hear a cold laughter. Even though this was the case, some fear involuntarily surged into these people's eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan. No matter how one put it, Xiao Yan's strength was still displayed. Even Lin Zehong, who was an elite Dou Di, was no match for him. In that case, how could they, who were mere Ban Di, be his opponents?
These people were all existences that were like vultures. They were extremely lively and did not dare to touch anyone. Normally, they would act like ducks that were passing by. However, when they saw someone who was about to die, they would immediately reveal their true colors. They were greedy and timid. Occasionally, they would grumble a little. It was as though they were excited after snatching a piece of meat. They were even scarier than scum.
"Ha ha, what a group of cowards. If you have the ability, why don't you discuss it face to face. Why do you need to exchange words here and there? After all, you are just a group of small fries. You are destined to stay in this small western region for the rest of your lives!"
When someone laughed coldly in disdain, there would naturally be people who felt admiration.
Everyone knew that the Four Great Clans were extremely arrogant and despotic. Naturally, there was no lack of people who hated them. The strong man who spoke just now was such a person.
"Hmph! We're just stating facts. The strength of the four great clans is tyrannical. In the entire western region, besides the four great sects, there's absolutely no other power that dares to rashly provoke them!"
Immediately, words that were filled with flattery swiftly spread across the tall platform. Among these people, there were naturally quite a number of people who hoped to be like the Lin family and be able to rely on the four great clans. In order to express their goodwill, every word that they spoke was naturally in favor of the four great clans.
"Haha, no one dares to challenge you? Truly a bunch of idiots. Have you all forgotten that not long ago, the Four Great Clans were almost completely wiped out in the Desolate Ancient Ruins? If it wasn't for their good luck, they would've already died in the Desolate Ancient Ruins. Furthermore, the person who caused all of this was merely a six star Half Martial Emperor. Now, you all are saying that no one provoked him? What an enormous joke! "
"Clamor!"
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples. In an instant, this person's words were like an invisible storm that swept through the entire auction house. In the auction house, these words reverberated in the ears of everyone present. Even if some of the people present inadvertently thought about it, the information about that person was like a drum that reverberated in their minds in an instant.
"Xiao Yan, it's Xiao Yan!"
"Xiao Yan!"
"Xiao Yan!"
… …
In an instant, Xiao Yan's battle achievements swiftly swept across the auction ground. Everyone's mind involuntarily recalled that legendary person. Until now, there was not a single person present who had truly seen him. However, these people were already familiar with the latter's battle achievements. It was not an exaggeration to say that they could recite them backwards.
He was currently the public enemy of the entire western region. Everyone wished that they could immediately capture him when they saw him. However, until now, even the elite Dou Di who had met him were unable to do anything to him.
As for an ordinary Ban Di, they would not even be able to last a single exchange in his hands. They would not even be able to block a single punch from him. This was especially the case during the battle at Cold Stream City back then. Xiao Yan had fought against a hundred people by himself. He had relied on his own strength to fight against an entire city of people. These various things were deeply imprinted in the minds of these people. Even though they had never seen it with their own eyes, it was something that they would never forget.
After the news regarding Xiao Yan spread throughout the auction ground, the expressions of some people in various parts of the auction ground involuntarily changed. A couple of suspicious gazes involuntarily landed on Xiao Yan, who was currently standing on the tall stage.
At this moment, the old man on the auction stage was frowning as he looked at Xiao Yan through the light wall in front of him. Other than the suspicion in his old eyes, there was also a surprise hidden within them.
"According to what these people have said, could he be …"
"Xiao Yan?"
On the other side, Huo Ting and Huo Yuning revealed solemn expressions as they stared at the black-robed human figure in the auction ground. Their hands slowly tightened under their sleeves.
If the person in front of them was really Xiao Yan, it was likely that they would not return empty-handed from this trip to Xuan City.
Huo Yuning's eyes stared intently at the black-robed human figure. A murderous intent gradually surged from deep within her eyes. Her younger brother had died because of this. Huo Yuning would definitely avenge her brother once this person landed in her hands!
"Young master …"
"Aye, I know. Let's not act recklessly first. I have already sent out the news. It is likely that the clan has already received it. Our people should be arriving soon after the auction is over."
Compared to before, Huo Yuning was much calmer when faced with this matter.
Huo Ting nodded slightly. Regardless of whether this person was really Xiao Yan or not, they had to give it a try. If it wasn't, then so be it, but if it really was Xiao Yan, then they could not let him go no matter what.
On the other side, the father and son from the Bai clan were staring at Xiao Yan with various expressions, especially Bai Ying. He had personally sensed the energy that Xiao Yan had emitted. Even a simple recollection of the trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains would cause his heart to involuntarily tremble.
That kind of power was simply too terrifying!
It was also because of this that the gaze she used to look at Xiao Yan did not contain the slightest trace of enmity. Of course, this was perhaps because the two of them had a secret cooperative relationship.
Beside Bai Ying, Bai Zhan immediately noticed the change in his father's expression. He did not need to think too much and immediately understood this.
"From the looks of it, the reason father revealed that kind of expression earlier was likely because he had sensed his Qi … Xiao Yan, who exactly are you …"
