Solving Trouble

"Hand over the item obediently, and I can grant you a quick death!" Fan Ling said as he and the Blood Sect group surrounded the four of them.

These four were none other than Huo Xuan's group. The moment they left the auction house, they were blocked by this bunch of fools.

"Little girl, it would be such a pity for someone as pretty as you to die. I'm sure you don't want to die either, so why not follow me? I won't treat you badly," Fan Ling said as he stared at Huo Zhi before him.

What an idiot, Huo Zhi cursed inwardly. She would not need to act now. She knew that since he had dared say such things, Huo Xuan, Brother would definitely not spare him.

"Kill all three men. Leave that woman alive," Fan Ling ordered his subordinates.

Just as Huo Xuan was about to make a move and kill Fan Ling, two weak auras suddenly approached from their direction. They belonged to people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Black Skull Tomb!

Another bunch of fools courting death!

"Hand over the item, and my Heavenly Serpent Mansion may consider sparing your lives!" Green Elder, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's representative, said.

"Hmph! Heavenly Serpent Mansion? Are you really this arrogant? You're nothing more than a minor, insignificant sect. Had I known, I would have wiped out your Heavenly Serpent Mansion back then!" Yan Ya, wrapped entirely in a black robe, spoke up.

"Do you know just how powerful my Heavenly Serpent Mansion is?" Green Elder demanded furiously.

"Powerful? Then take a look at who I am!" Yan Ya said as he tore away the black robe concealing his face.

"Y-You... you're that Venerable from back then!" Green Elder cried out.

The moment Green Elder spoke those words, everyone present turned deathly pale. They understood perfectly well what the title of Venerable represented. This black-robed man before them was actually a Dou Zun expert!

And they had actually come to rob a Dou Zun. Everyone present now wished they could slap themselves several times. Why had they allowed this little bit of profit to blind them? Combined, they probably could not even withstand a single slap from him.

"Cough, cough. Sir, this was all a misunderstanding," Green Elder said, fear evident in her voice.

She knew very well what had happened back then. Two years ago, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had been robbed by this Venerable. He had wounded the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's master and stolen their cultivation technique concerning the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Though the people of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had been furious, there had been nothing they could do.

Green Elder hurriedly took out the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill obtained from the auction. "This is the Seventh Grade Pill, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill. Our Heavenly Serpent Mansion is willing to offer it to you as an apology. Please spare us, sir."

Seeing this, Huo Xuan made a grasping motion with his hand, and the pill immediately flew into his palm. After all, there was no reason to refuse something offered for free.

Green Elder sighed in relief at the sight. Since the other party had accepted the pill, he should let them go now, right?

"Thank you, sir, for your magnanimity." Green Elder's group turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Huo Xuan called out.

"Is there anything else, sir?" Green Elder turned back and asked.

"Weren't you acting very arrogantly just now? Did I agree to let you leave? You must pay the price for what you said earlier!"

"What price?"

"The price of your lives!"

The instant Huo Xuan finished speaking, the pressure of a Dou Zun erupted from Yan Ya's body.

It pressed down on them like a massive mountain. Before they could react, the terrifying pressure directly claimed the lives of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's people.

Before a Dou Zun, people like them, who had not even reached the Dou Emperor level, were simply too weak to withstand a single blow.

As the people of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were slaughtered, everyone present turned utterly pale with fright.

"Sir, this is the Flight Fighting Skill, Thunder Bat Sky Wings. I am willing to offer it to you as an apology. Please, sir, be merciful and forgive us," Fan Ling pleaded as he took out the Flight Fighting Skill and knelt before Huo Xuan.

Seeing this, the people from the Black Skull Tomb also took out the Earth-class movement Fighting Skill, Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement, and knelt before Huo Xuan in pleading.

Huo Xuan accepted the two items, then looked at Fan Ling, who was kneeling on the ground. "If I remember correctly, you said just now that you wanted to take my wife!"

"My lord, I failed to recognize greatness and spoke disrespectfully. Please be merciful and spare this insignificant one." As he spoke, Fan Ling heavily kowtowed to Huo Xuan several times.

"Go die!" The moment he finished speaking, Huo Xuan kicked Fan Ling.

"Pfft..."

Fan Ling was sent flying several meters away. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he immediately stopped breathing.

"Kill them all!" After dealing with Fan Ling, Huo Xuan's single sentence decided the fate of everyone present.

The moment Huo Xuan finished speaking, everyone around them lost their lives.
