"Xu Yang!? You are Xu Yang!" The Golden Core elder finally recognized the familiar face.
Isn't this the Xu Yang on the wanted posters? It's exactly the same!
"You..." The Golden Core elder looked at Xu Yang in horror. Wasn't Deng Xuan, who had come from the headquarters, supposed to be going to Tianlan Sect?
Deng Xuan hadn't returned from Tianlan Sect, and now Xu Yang had come here. Does this mean Deng Xuan has already been killed?
But Deng Xuan was a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Could it be that a real Nascent Soul cultivator is no match for Xu Yang?
The Golden Core elder quickly retreated, wanting to escape.
"Run? Do you think you can escape?" Xu Yang said indifferently, and his large hand suddenly reached toward the Golden Core elder.
Boom...
A powerful pulling force erupted from Xu Yang's hand, and even the air around them began to ripple with shockwaves.
A Golden Core, with a soft "puff," broke through the elder's flesh and was grabbed by Xu Yang.
Xu Yang placed the Golden Core into the alchemy furnace.
The cloud beasts that loved Golden Cores were staying at Tianlan Sect, so it would be kept there for them.
Boom...
The VIP box exploded, consumed by a blinding red fireball, turning to ash.
Xu Yang slowly walked out of the box, still holding the now lifeless elder in his hand.
Everyone looked at him and realized that the person was the Golden Core elder who had just entered the box.
He walked in upright a minute ago, and now he was being carried out lying down?
"I am Xu Yang. I heard that the Lingbao Auction House wants to kill me?"
Everyone stood up and looked at Xu Yang. Some pulled out the bounty notices in their hands, and indeed, the person on the notice looked exactly the same as him.
The next moment, they threw the bounty notices aside like they were death warrants.
Well... The Lingbao Auction House had just issued the bounty, and Xu Yang had already destroyed their place.
What was going on here? Everyone's faces now carried an expression of amusement.
The Lingbao Auction House hadn't faced such a situation in years.
This time, someone had actually blocked their door!
Of course, there were also many who thought Xu Yang was foolish!
"This is just a branch of the Lingbao Auction House. Its strength is less than one percent of the main headquarters."
"Even if the Lingbao Auction House branch can't deal with Xu Yang, the main headquarters is still there."
"If Xu Yang really angers the main headquarters of Lingbao Auction House, even the entire Tianlan Sect might be wiped out without a trace."
Some cultivators shook their heads and whispered to each other.
...
"Are you the Xu Yang who killed my younger brother?"
At this moment, a calm voice came from the box where the bid of 20,000 had been made.
The door to the box opened, and a figure stepped out slowly. He was dressed in a pale ink-colored robe, wearing a purple-gold crown. His black hair, like ink, was casually draped over his shoulders.
On his snow-white face, there was a faint smile. Though the smile seemed gentle, it added a sinister edge to his expression.
"He is! Zhao Bai, the genius disciple of the Elder of Moyi Sect!" Suddenly, someone recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Is this the Zhao Bai who went to Qi State and joined the Moyi Sect a few years ago?!"
"Looks like things are getting interesting. Did you see the bounty notice? Xu Yang killed Zhao Bai's younger brother, Zhao Long. Now, Zhao Bai is seeking revenge for his brother."
"I heard that Zhao Bai's cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago. After this retreat, I wonder what his cultivation is now."
...
Surrounded by three Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhao Bai walked up to Xu Yang, his gaze scanning him from head to toe.
"Are you the one who killed my brother Zhao Long?" A tremendous pressure emanated from him, bearing down on Xu Yang.
Even the onlookers were pressured by the overwhelming aura, freezing in place, unable to move.
Xu Yang looked up and observed the three figures before him, quickly assessing their cultivation levels.
Zhao Bai was a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator, while the other two elders were at the fourth level of Nascent Soul.
Such power would be enough to sweep through a small place like Qi State.
However, for Xu Yang, whether they were at the third or fourth level of Nascent Soul, it didn't matter much.
It was nothing more than a matter of a single finger.
"You're talking about Zhao Long? Yes, I killed him. What do you want to do about it?" Xu Yang asked with a smile.
Zhao Bai stepped closer to Xu Yang, his fair face still smiling, but his slanted phoenix eyes gleamed with coldness.
"What do I want to do? I want to kill you!" Zhao Bai said, suddenly noticing that Xu Yang's cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage. His anger flared up even more. "Are you sure you're not going to show your full strength and continue hiding your cultivation?"
Xu Yang's cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage, and Zhao Bai could feel the contempt rising within him.
Which fool would believe Xu Yang was just at the Qi Refining stage? Xu Yang was clearly still pretending.
"My full cultivation? My full cultivation is the Qi Refining stage," Xu Yang replied innocently.
He had never been pretending. His cultivation truly was at the Qi Refining stage.
It was just that his Qi Refining was at the 10,000th level.
"Really? Well then, today I'll see just how much you can pretend," Zhao Bai said with a mocking smile, raising his hand to strike.
At that moment, a loud and hearty laugh rang out.
"Xu Yang, there's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there's no door to hell, but you've barged in! Today, you will stay here!"
Everyone looked up, and saw a figure swiftly dart across the room, landing with a loud crash.
Only then did they realize that the person was the president of the Lingbao Auction House's branch.
"My God, it's Zhang Shuangtian!" The crowd exclaimed in shock upon seeing the newcomer.
"Looks like things are getting interesting."
"Four Nascent Soul elders have arrived! Xu Yang is dead for sure."
Xu Yang looked at the newcomer and suddenly flashed a bright smile. "You must be the president of Lingbao Auction House."
The newcomer's eyes flickered with coldness, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Hmph, Lingbao Auction House issued the bounty, and yet you dared to come here. You're brave, but foolish."
"If I were you, I'd stay low-key and slowly build up the Tianlan Sect. But instead, you've chosen to flaunt yourself and go against my Lingbao Auction House. Truly foolish!"
"Once you're dead, the Tianlan Sect will be wiped out immediately!"
Xu Yang looked around at the four Nascent Soul cultivators and smiled brightly, his smile pure and radiant.
"Why do you all keep thinking you can kill me?" Xu Yang said. As soon as his words left his mouth, a massive surge of spiritual energy rushed out toward the four Nascent Soul cultivators.
At first glance, Xu Yang's spiritual energy appeared weak, as if he truly was a Qi Refining cultivator.
But the next second, countless amounts of vital energy poured out from Xu Yang's body.
When the quantity reached a certain threshold, it caused a qualitative change.
The faces of the four Nascent Soul cultivators changed instantly. Too powerful!
