Following the end of the auction, numerous human figures swarmed out of the spatial tunnel in the sky above Xuan City. Soon, human figures filled the sky above Xuan City. They were just like a black mass of dark clouds, causing the city to be enveloped in an unusual atmosphere.
When all these people appeared in the sky, the strange atmosphere that enveloped Xuan City also disappeared. As the crowd surged out, the noise gradually spread. The entire Xuan City became even more lively. Everyone in the city could not help but raise their heads to look at the sky. Everyone's eyes contained a tinge of surprise.
The spatial auction was a grand auction that countless people in the western region hoped to participate in. Unfortunately, expectations were just expectations. Very few people actually had the opportunity to participate in each auction. When they saw the people who had participated in the auction walk out with satisfied and excited smiles on their faces, the people in the city could not help but feel a little jealous. Some people even began to have other thoughts at this moment.
Robbing those who had participated in the auction in order to profit from it was not uncommon on the continent. This was basically a common problem, and it was also like an unwritten rule. Of course, whether this rule was valid or not was up to the strong to decide.
The group of people who had just walked out of the spatial tunnel seemed to know what was going to happen next. Those who were strong were naturally not afraid at all. They held their heads high and left with their chests puffed out. It was as if they were prepared to deal with whatever came their way. As for those who were not strong enough and had gained something from the auction this time, they appeared cautious and vigilant. Their shifty eyes looked around in a slight panic. Soon after, their figures hurriedly flashed and flew out of Xuan City. Usually, only these people would be followed by groups of two or three like hyenas.
In a short period of time, the people who had just emerged from the spatial tunnel had either scattered or left. Once everyone had left, the people from the Huo Clan, the Bai Clan, and the Lin Clan, as well as Xu Songming and his granddaughter, were still waiting in the sky.
The Huo Clan and Bai Clan had a clear goal. Naturally, they were here for Xiao Yan. Due to their relationship with the Huo Clan and Bai Clan, the Lin Clan did not dare to act carelessly. Since they did not leave, the Lin Clan's father and son naturally did not dare to act rashly.
As for Xu Songming, other than being suspicious of the situation in the arena, there was also the hatred in his heart toward Xiao Yan which caused him to remain at this place. Of course, an even greater reason was that Xiao Yan had offended the people from the Huo clan. He only wanted to stay and watch the show. Even if he could not personally vent his anger, his mood would more or less be a little happier if he could see the black-robed person being beaten by the people from the Huo clan.
"Oh? What's going on? Where are the people from my Huo Clan? Why aren't they here yet? Judging by the time, they should be here by now! "
In the sky, Huo Ting's gaze slowly swept across the horizon before he frowned and looked down at Xuan City below. After a simple investigation, he was shocked to discover that he could not detect any aura from the Huo Clan.
"How can this be? We have been delayed for an hour. Logically speaking, even if they are not here yet, they should be close to our aura detection range. What is going on?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuning could not help but frown slightly. Based on the time, the people from the Huo Clan should have arrived at Xuan City less than an hour ago. From the time the auction ended until they came out, the people from the Huo Clan should have arrived. Even if they were not here yet, they should be within their aura detection range. However, the current situation was that not only was there no sign of them, but they also could not detect any aura at all. It was as if they were not here at all.
"Could it be that … the Huo Clan did not receive the message from our jade strip?"
Huo Yuning frowned and guessed.
"That shouldn't be the case. As long as they are not too far away, the Huo Clan should be able to receive the message. However, from the looks of it, either there is a problem with the jade strip, or the energy from the jade strip has been blocked by someone."
Huo Ting shook his head and denied it.
"Hmm?!"
Huo Yu Ning's body suddenly shook when these words were uttered. The expression on her face also changed. Other than Xiao Yan, it was likely that only the Bai clan would dare to stop their actions within the spatial auction ground.
"Could it be them?!"
As if he suddenly thought of something, Huo Ting's eyes narrowed and his gloomy expression changed abruptly. If it was them, then there should be no problem. With their strength, even if the two great clans joined forces, they might not be a match for them.
"Could it be those fellows from the space auction?!"
"What?! It can't be. Haven't those fellows always been neutral? Why would they … "
Huo Yusing was taken aback, and she looked a little surprised.
"No, nothing is absolute. Do you think they will really be neutral just because they say so? Hmph, in the face of absolute benefits, no one will maintain their so-called neutrality. Those words are just lies. "
Huo Ting shook his head and said solemnly.
"Benefits?"
"Yes, Xiao Yan. His cultivation talent is too terrifying and his combat strength far surpasses experts of the same level. In addition, he is a rank 3 alchemist. With such strength, if the four great sects are not enemies with him, they will definitely not be willing to provoke him. However, the problem now is that once the people from the space auction intervene, this matter will be troublesome."
As expected of a wise old man, Huo Ting had lived for so many years. After all, Huo Yuning, a greenhorn, could not compare with him.
"What should we do now? Are we just going to leave them alone? "
"Leave them alone? How can we leave them alone? Although their auction house is quite powerful, don't forget that this is the Western Region, the territory of our four great sects. Immediately use another jade strip. I don't believe that the person my Sky Rapier Sect wants can be easily stopped by them! "
Huo Ting's expression was cold as he stared at the space tunnel in front of him. He did not say anything else and waited for Xiao Yan to appear. Huo Yuning, who was beside him, flipped her hand and another jade strip appeared in her palm. Without any hesitation, she crushed it.
Almost at the same time, the same thing happened between the father and son of the Bai Clan on the other side.
Soon after, the four great sects in the square quietened down. Each of them had different thoughts as they waited for a certain person to appear.
Under the waiting of the four great sects, Xiao Yan, who was dressed in a black robe, finally walked out of the space tunnel in front of everyone.
Feeling the dazzling sunlight in front of him, Xiao Yan could not help but let out a long breath. The scene in front of him made Xiao Yan feel as if he had just been released from a cave. Although he would only be participating in the auction for seven days, during these seven days, the loud noise in the auction house made Xiao Yan feel quite uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long and could not get used to such a noisy atmosphere.
His gaze slowly shifted downwards. Immediately, what entered his eyes was the people from the three clans who had surrounded him in front of the spatial passageway. As for Xu Songming, he stood to the side and watched coldly.
