The white-bearded old man looked at the sea of ​​black heads in the arena with a smile, then his gaze swept over the forces sitting in the front row, and finally looked at the room where Xiao Miao and his group were, giving them a somewhat ingratiating nod.

This scene caused the other powerful figures in the VIP room to squint and look at where the old man's gaze was focused. Many of them recognized the beautiful woman who had exuded a powerful aura a few days ago, and immediately looked away, afraid of being targeted.

However, what they didn't know was that Medusa had come out prepared to do free shopping, and anyone she set her sights on would probably not get any benefit.

In the early stages of the auction, their items, though rare, were not particularly valuable. The people below were fiercely competing for them, while those in the VIP room remained rather uninterested.

As time went by, the auction items became increasingly valuable, but most of them were of little use to Xiao Miao and Medusa.

Suddenly, a sixth-grade ice-type magic core box was brought up. Xiao Miao's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he looked at Medusa. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident. This magic core was compatible with his attributes, and he had his eye on it.

Medusa nodded to the latter, but did not participate in the bidding. Instead, she secretly noted down who won the auction.

This ice-type magic core was acquired by an elder of the Blood Sect, so it cannot be used on the spot for the time being.

The latter was also clever; seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he didn't run away immediately, but instead calmly stayed on the sidelines.

He knew perfectly well that he was safe here under the protection of the Eight Gates, but if he left the Eight Gates, he would die outside and no one would care.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. If the sect leader were here, he wouldn't have to do this. Yesterday, he suddenly received intelligence that there were some clues about the murderer who killed the young sect leader.

The sect leader then disregarded the auction house's invitation and sent their elders directly to track down the murderer himself.

Some people in the arena couldn't help but feel disappointed that the old man who had acquired the magic core hadn't left, marveling at his cautiousness.

This was just a minor incident at the auction, and everyone turned their attention back to the items on the auction stage.

But then, even more dazzling treasures appeared on the auction stage. Xiao Miao was even a little surprised to see the woman being pushed up. He couldn't help but sigh. The Black Corner Region was truly chaotic. He never expected that even a person could be put up for auction.

However, as Xiao Miao expected, this pitiful face aroused the desires of these brutal people who had lived in the Black Corner Region for many years, and they couldn't help but bid for it.

Even Medusa cast a cold glance at Xiao Miao, and sensing this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but speak:

"Stop looking, I don't need it, I have you."

Upon hearing this, Medusa blushed slightly, but turned her head away with a touch of arrogance.

"That would be best."

Seeing the two of them like this, Zi Yan's face fell. She couldn't stand the disgusting atmosphere.

Honestly, her sister hadn't said that to her yet. Zi Yan looked at her own figure, then at Medusa beside her, and her expression became even more unpleasant. At the same time, she secretly made a vow in her heart that when she transformed in the future, she would definitely become a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure.

Just as Zi Yan was making up her mind, the auction had already quietly ended.

The man who took the picture of the woman couldn't help but reveal a lewd smile on his ugly face. Instead of leaving, he hugged the woman in his arms and groped her all over, making the men around him feel aroused.

"Ding"

Another clear bell rang out from the crystal stand. The old man, with a smile on his face, took a beautifully decorated box from a maid and then carefully opened it.

What then appeared before everyone was an unremarkable wooden branch. Everyone present was taken aback and, just as they were about to say something, immediately shut their mouths.

The wooden branch quickly began to emit a faint chill, which continued to emanate without any sign of stopping. Only when the temperature in the arena dropped to the point that some of the weaker individuals had to use their battle qi to resist did the old man speak with satisfaction:

"Everyone, this is a branch of wood that our Eight Doors obtained by accident from an extremely cold place. Although we do not know its effects, just from the coldness it exudes, you can tell that it is extraordinary. If you keep it by your side, cultivators of Yin-Cold Battle Qi will probably achieve twice the results with half the effort."

Before the old man could even announce the auction price, people had already started bidding.

Xiao Miao looked up and saw that it was the Blood Sect elder who had just taken the picture of the demon core.

Xiao Miao squinted at that direction. Since they had been bidding on items with the Yin-cold attribute, they must need them. If that was the case, the sect behind them might also have quite a few Yin-cold treasures.

As Xiao Miao's thoughts drifted to this point, he couldn't help but have a fleeting thought of seizing the treasure.

Just as Xiao Miao thought the old man was about to take the cold, dark branch away again, another person in the VIP room spoke up.

Following the sound, the gaze finally settled on a middle-aged man dressed in a Skull and Bones uniform. Recalling the information in his mind, he realized that the man was from the Black Skull Tomb.

Looking at the black-robed figures below, Xiao Miao could tell from their sinister appearance that they were also cultivating the Yin-cold attribute, which was easy to spot at a glance, unlike himself, who, although he had the Ice attribute battle qi, acted with integrity and uprightness.

While Xiao Miao was constantly replaying the image of the people in the Black Skull Tomb in his mind, he completely forgot that he himself was also dressed in a black robe.

Chapter 109 Backer

As the bidding continued, the final winner was revealed: the Black Skull Tomb group that Xiao Miao had been constantly harassing.

The Blood Sect elder looked unwilling, but also helpless. He had already spent a lot of money to bid for the sixth-order magic box, and now he couldn't compete with the people from the Black Skull Tomb.

However, he didn't seem too unwilling. Since others wanted to take it from him, why couldn't he take it from them in return? He wanted the sixth-order magic core, and he also wanted the Yin-cold branch.

This old man practiced the escape techniques of the Blood Sect. Although his combat strength was not high among those of the same level, his means of escaping were first-rate.

After you seize the cold wood branch from the Black Skull Tomb, don't run away immediately. Once you return to your sect, who can do anything to him?

Amidst everyone's self-interested thoughts, the final round of auction began.

However, Xiao Miao was indeed somewhat disappointed, as this final round was a low-level earth-rank cultivation technique with fire attributes.

It was attractive to those fire-attribute cultivators, but it also fetched a considerable price, after all, it was an Earth-rank cultivation technique.

As the lavish auction came to an end, everyone prepared to leave, but the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense and acrimonious.

Everyone's thoughts were written all over their faces; they were ready to make their move once the various groups of people had left.

At this moment, Xiao Miao and the others in the VIP room also stepped forward, with slight smiles on their faces. Now that the auction was over, they could set off.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the door was suddenly smashed open, and a figure in black robes suddenly came into everyone's view.

The figure in black robes continued to curse and swear, clearly very angry.

This scene stunned everyone present, but then a powerful aura followed.

Everyone was taken aback when they sensed the chilling aura emanating from him. Wasn't this Fan Lao?

At this moment, Fan Lao stared coldly at the black-robed man who had barged into the auction house, his face filled with murderous intent.

He had received news that someone had seen a black-robed man using cyan and yellow flames, so he immediately ordered his men to hold him off and rushed over. But to his surprise, the black-robed man, who was fighting spirits, was incredibly fast. He circled around him, and after much effort, the man actually managed to run back into Black Seal City.

And who else could this black-robed man with cyan flames be but Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan looked at Fan Lao with a hint of smugness. He had barely managed to escape the pursuit and run into the city.

Within the territory of these eight gates, even Fan Lao would likely have some reservations, given that there is an auction taking place today.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was unaware that the Eight Doors' auction had just ended.

At this moment, a middle-aged man slowly appeared, his tone somewhat cold:

"Fan Lao, what are you up to?"

The middle-aged man who spoke at this moment was Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Doors.

"Hmph, this brat killed my son, I will make him suffer the pain of being torn to pieces."

Upon hearing Fan Lao's words, Yuan Yi frowned slightly, then glanced at Xiao Yan, who was wrapped in a black robe.

"Is he just a Dou Ling level cultivator?" After glancing at Fan Lao, who was now furious, she made a decision.

Since the previous auction was still ongoing, he would certainly want to maintain the dignity of the Eight Doors. However, now that the auction was over, it would be unwise to offend Fan Lao for the sake of a mere Battle Spirit.

Yuan Yi thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Yan and said:

"Young friend, our Eight Doors Auction House has already concluded the auction. If you have any grievances, please resolve them outside your own premises. Please do not make things difficult for us."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed. He hadn't expected to arrive at such an inopportune time. He had originally planned that once he entered the auction house, Fan Lao wouldn't be able to do anything to him, allowing him to conceal his presence and secretly find an opportunity to slip out from the other side.

Unexpectedly, it's over now, which puts Xiao Yan in a difficult position. He glances at the people around him, and they all have a mocking expression on their faces, as if they're watching a good show.

They wouldn't mind going out and robbing others, watching a good show before the items are auctioned off.

A woman with a seductive figure looked at Xiao Yan's handsome face and said provocatively:

"Little brother, you do have a handsome appearance. Why don't you come with me? I'll save your life, how about that?"

Those around couldn't help but laugh; Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect, was trying to stir up trouble again.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly spoke up:

"really?"

"You shameless woman, get lost. You really want to steal my man?"

At this moment, the alluring Su Mei narrowed her captivating eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. Fan Lao in front of her was truly ungrateful, daring to speak to him like that. However, after looking at the person in front of her, with his furious and murderous expression, she decided not to bother with him. She gave a light snort and then looked at Xiao Yan with some regret.

"I'd like to, but this jerk probably won't agree, so there's nothing I can do."

Those around couldn't help but show an expression of "I knew it." Although Su Mei liked to tease others, when it came to her own interests, she was ruthless in her methods of abandoning them.

At this moment, Xiao Yan looked terrible. If there was really no other way, he could only rely on Yao Lao. He stared intently at Fan Lao in front of him, planning to repay the debt in the future.

But just as he was about to flee, a voice that was all too familiar to him came.

"Third Brother, let's go out. I want to see who can touch you today."

Xiao Yan immediately recognized Xiao Miao's voice and was overjoyed. Xiao Miao was a Dou Huang expert. After so much time had passed, based on his understanding of Xiao Miao's terrifying talent, he must be at least a Dou Huang of level four or five. He was more than capable of dealing with this old man. With Xiao Miao interfering from the side, the two brothers would kill this old man today.

As the voice rang out, everyone present was shocked, wondering who dared to be so reckless.

Fan Lao, who was in the middle of the field, also narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone filled with suppressed anger. He glanced around and finally locked onto the source of the voice.

"Does Your Excellency intend to help this brat? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Hearing Fan Lao's words, Xiao Miao did not reply. Instead, he flashed to Xiao Yan's side.

Everyone was shocked; none of them had noticed how he had gotten to Xiao Yan's side.
