Clone Demonic Shadow!

Within the Jia Ma Empire, when it came to wealth, the Mite'er Family was undoubtedly among the richest.

The Mite'er Family had a long history, having developed within the Jia Ma Empire for centuries, and its connections were exceptionally intricate.

According to some rumors, this fabulously wealthy family seemed to have certain ties to the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family.

Within the empire, the Mite'er Family, the Nalan family, and the Mu Family were collectively known as the Jia Ma Empire's Three Giants.

The three great families all had their hands in the empire's business, military, and many other sectors. Their influence was anything but small.

"Captain Iron Wolf, you jest. How could a mere Mittel Auction House represent the Mite'er Family?"

Ya Fei smiled lightly, offering no further explanation before getting straight to the point.

"Ya Fei came here for the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Magical Beast Core."

"Thirty thousand Gold Coins. What do you think of this price, Captain Iron Wolf?"

After saying that, Ya Fei fell silent and quietly waited for Iron Wolf's reply.

Hearing this, Captain Iron Wolf frowned and began to consider it.

"Miss Ya Fei, I am truly sorry, but I happen to be lacking a weapon that suits me."

"I have no intention of selling this Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Magical Beast Core. I plan to keep it and forge myself a fine blade."

After a moment of silence, Captain Iron Wolf spoke with a hint of apology in his voice.

"It seems Captain Iron Wolf thinks the offer is too low."

"Fair enough. Business naturally involves bargaining."

"Forty thousand Gold Coins. I hope Captain Iron Wolf can part with it. The Mittel Auction House is willing to make a friend of you."

A charming smile rested on Ya Fei's exquisite face as she stared intently at Iron Wolf.

Raising the price by ten thousand Gold Coins at once undoubtedly showed Ya Fei's determination to obtain the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Magical Beast Core.

"Deal!"

Hearing that price, Captain Iron Wolf could not help but reveal a rugged smile.

"Gold Coins are beside the point. What matters is that the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group is willing to become friends with the Mittel Auction House," Iron Wolf said with a chuckle.

"The Mittel Auction House is deeply honored to be able to become friends with the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group."

Hearing this, Ya Fei gave Iron Wolf a somewhat meaningful look.

"Heh heh, Miss Ya Fei is far too polite."

Iron Wolf casually replied, then turned to one of his men. "Bring the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Magical Beast Core to Miss Ya Fei..."

A short while later, money and goods changed hands, and the transaction was completed smoothly.

"Young Master, I have done all I can. The rest will depend on you."

After leaving the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, Ya Fei looked at the scarlet Magical Beast Core in her hand and murmured to herself.

Although Ya Fei controlled the Mittel Auction House, the amount of Gold Coins at her disposal was limited.

Forty thousand Gold Coins had nearly exhausted all of Ya Fei's available funds.

Mittel Auction House.

A rather secluded courtyard.

Swish, swish, swish!

At that moment, a figure flickered through the courtyard at high speed like a ghost. It was Flowing Cloud.

On the second day after Nameless left, Flowing Cloud moved into this secluded courtyard.

Given his status as the Young Master of the Mite'er Family, obtaining a private courtyard was naturally no problem.

By now, Flowing Cloud had spent three days in this courtyard.

He had deliberately moved here to make cultivating more convenient.

Flowing Cloud had too many secrets, so he needed a private space of his own.

"Clone Demonic Shadow!"

Just then, Flowing Cloud, who had been darting around the courtyard, suddenly shouted.

The next moment, three phantoms identical to Flowing Cloud abruptly appeared in the courtyard.

All three phantoms moved at extreme speed, flickering rapidly and making it impossible to distinguish truth from illusion.

For the past three days, Flowing Cloud had been cultivating Dou Techniques.

Now, his Demonic Shadow Tracing had finally entered the first level, the Clone Phantom Realm.

This Movement Technique, Demonic Shadow Tracing, was divided into three levels.

They were: Clone Demonic Shadow, Demonic Shadow Layers, and Demons Dancing Chaos.

At the peak of the Clone Demonic Shadow stage, each step could release ten phantoms, every one of which could pass for the real thing.

Flowing Cloud had only just entered the Clone Demonic Shadow stage and could merely release three phantoms.

As for the second stage, Demonic Shadow Layers, once he reached that realm, Flowing Cloud's speed would rise to another level, and each step could release as many as dozens of phantoms.

At the final stage, Demons Dancing Chaos, a single step from Flowing Cloud could split into over a hundred phantoms.

In battle, Flowing Cloud would only need a moment to trap his enemy amid Demons Dancing Chaos, leaving them utterly unable to tell real from fake.

In the courtyard, Flowing Cloud continued practicing the Clone Demonic Shadow footwork. With every step he took, three phantoms appeared.

Before the phantoms from one moment had vanished, three more appeared in the next.

"Mountain Splitting Palm!"

Suddenly, Flowing Cloud shouted, and a massive energy handprint burst forth from his hand.

Accompanied by a terrifying shriek of tearing wind, it shot forward like a cannonball and slammed viciously into a huge bluestone in the courtyard.

At once, amid a violent explosion, the entire bluestone shook fiercely.

The next moment, thick cracks spread across the bluestone like a spiderweb.

In only a short time, they covered the entire stone.

As the palm strike landed, the phantoms in the courtyard rapidly vanished, and Flowing Cloud's figure gradually emerged.

"As expected of an Earth Tier Dou Technique. Its power truly is extraordinary."

Looking at the damage he had caused, Flowing Cloud felt quite satisfied.

The handprint he had just used was the first form of the Sky Covering Palm, the Mountain Splitting Palm.

The Sky Covering Palm consisted of four forms: Mountain Splitting Palm, Earth Splitting Palm, Void Shattering Palm, and finally, the Sky Covering Palm.

At present, Flowing Cloud had only reached the beginner stage of the Mountain Splitting Palm.

Once his strength increased further and he cultivated the Mountain Splitting Palm to mastery,

splitting a mountain with one palm would no longer be difficult.

"With my current strength, even against a peak Dou Master, I would never be at a disadvantage," Flowing Cloud thought to himself.

He was only fifteen years old, yet he had already reached such a level.

Such an achievement was enough to surpass most people on the Dou Qi Continent.

"I wonder whether Nameless has safely reached the Black Corner Region yet?"

Thinking of Nameless, who had left three days ago, Flowing Cloud felt somewhat worried.

Although Nameless possessed the strength of a Six-star Dou Emperor, the Black Corner Region was, after all, the most chaotic place on the continent.

Even the strength of a Dou Emperor could not completely guarantee one's safety.

"Young Master, Ya Fei requests an audience."

Just as Flowing Cloud was worrying, Ya Fei's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Ya Fei?

Why was she here?

Hearing her voice, Flowing Cloud immediately snapped back to reality and called toward the entrance, "Sister Ya Fei, come in."

As it happened, Flowing Cloud also intended to ask Ya Fei how the preparations for the auction were going.
