• Zi Yan noticed a rotting-corpse stench, and the white-haired old man unveiled a colossal Magical Beast corpse that had been near the peak of the seventh tier.

At the Black Emperor Sect auction, Zi Yan recognized her instinctive hatred of a seventh-tier Magical Beast corpse as the ancient feud between the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. After the crowd hesitated to barter for the uncertain corpse, Xiao Kun bid three Dou Spirit Pills and two Emperor Extreme Pills, rescuing the auction from a standstill.

• Zi Yan felt uncomfortable when the Magical Beast corpse appeared, and Xiao Kun explained that it belonged to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s sworn enemy.
• Xiao Yi Xian, Hai Bodong, and the others realized that Zi Yan was an Ancient Void Dragon and reflected on her unusual strength and appetite.
• The white-haired elder announced that the intact seventh-tier corpse would be sold through barter, but the crowd hesitated because its Magic Core and inner condition were uncertain.
• The elder privately knew that the Black Emperor Sect’s Secret Art had detected little blood and no trace of a Magic Core, but he feared Mo Tianxing would blame him if the corpse went unsold.
• Xiao Kun, who knew the corpse contained a Magic Core, offered three Dou Spirit Pills and two Emperor Extreme Pills, and the elder immediately called for higher bids.
