Stealing the Day and Swapping the Sun

Days passed one by one. Unable to find the person in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, the major factions turned their attention to the Heavenly Capital Auction House.

After all, they might not show themselves, but they still had to come collect the auction money!

Soon, the auction was held as scheduled. Ye Han did not transform right away; instead, he entered the Auction House with Zhao Lei first. Every Titled Douluo who had come this time had a private room.

They were still in Private Room No. 5 from last time. After all, Zhao Lei's strength spoke for itself.

"That's him!" Zhao Lei said as he watched a figure cloaked entirely in black enter through the glass. Although the person was seated below, Zhao Lei was certain he was a Titled Douluo.

Ye Han also studied the figure. "A Titled Douluo, stronger than Uncle Zhao, and hiding his identity to buy potions... Could he be Tang Hao?"

The more Ye Han thought about it, the more the person downstairs resembled Tang Hao. If he were not Tang Hao, why would he need to conceal his identity?

"Is that the Clear Sky Douluo? No wonder I felt that man was so dangerous!" Zhao Lei nodded in agreement.

Ye Han smiled. "No matter who auctions off the potions today, they'll be in trouble in the end!"

Others might not know, but how could Ye Han not? Tang Hao didn't have a damn coin. Why else would he come to the Auction House without money? Obviously, he was waiting for someone to buy the potions before snatching them away!

Soon, it was the same supervisor from last time who slowly stepped forward. "I won't say much about why everyone has gathered here today. You all know perfectly well. There are no other auction items this time. At the owner's request, the items will be auctioned in two batches. We will now begin with the first batch! There is no starting bid!"

This auction proceeded quickly. After all, there were only two batches. In the end, Spirit Hall won one batch for fifteen million, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won the second for fourteen million.

Although the auction had ended, no one present showed any intention of leaving.

The atmosphere was strange. Meanwhile, while everyone had been focused on the auction, Ye Han had already gone to the restroom to change his appearance.

Everyone was watching the entrance of the Auction House. No one imagined that the person was still inside.

The supervisor, who had prepared a total of twenty-eight million Gold Soul Coins after deducting the commission, was sweating profusely as he stared nervously at the entrance.

If Ye Han did not appear today, the supervisor knew he would be in serious trouble.

After waiting and waiting, Ye Han emerged openly from the other side, patted the supervisor on the shoulder, and asked coldly, "Where's the money?"

Startled by the voice, the supervisor hurriedly looked toward the old man beside him. The old man nodded, and the supervisor immediately forced a smile.

"Here, here!"

Ye Han directly placed the Gold Soul Coins into the Guild Warehouse.

After collecting the money, Ye Han pushed open the door and walked into the main hall. In an instant, every faction locked onto him.

Though Ye Han's face remained expressionless, being targeted by so many Titled Douluo had him panicking inside.

The reason they had not attacked immediately was that they were waiting for Ye Han to leave the Auction House. After all, the Heaven Dou Auction House had the Heaven Dou Empire behind it, so they still had to show it some respect.

Unfortunately, Ye Han had long seen through their intentions. He revealed an eerie smile and casually tossed out a bottle of potion. Smoke immediately billowed through the area.

In an instant, every aura was obscured. All the Titled Douluo, including Zhao Lei, charged into the smoke, but the moment it appeared, Ye Han had already removed his Noble Phantasm and stepped closer to Zhao Lei.

Working together, Zhao Lei directly put away the Shadow Stone. Ye Han appeared behind him, and at that moment, the Titled Douluo's auras blew away the smoke.

Everyone stared at each other in disbelief. There was no one left in the middle.

This development truly caught everyone off guard. Was it really that easy to vanish before so many Titled Douluo?

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke first. "Spirit Hall personnel, seal off the Heavenly Capital Auction House! I refuse to believe that person can vanish into thin air. She must be hiding in the Heaven Dou Auction House, or she has transformed into someone present!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's words made the atmosphere even stranger. But thinking about it, the woman had walked out of the Auction House, and she had disappeared there as well.

For a moment, everyone looked at the people around them as if each of them might have transformed from the woman.

Then, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred. The place where the potions were stored was instantly smashed open, and a disheveled man slowly walked out with five bottles of potion in his hand.

The others present might not have recognized him, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo knew best. The man before them was Tang Hao, the one who had beaten the previous Pope to death.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, I'll be taking Spirit Hall's potions! Thanks!" Tang Hao sneered and blasted through the roof of the Heaven Dou Auction House.

At once, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo vanished. Carrying the potions they had purchased, they casually returned to the crowd.

This sudden twist caught everyone around them completely unprepared, especially Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo. They had spent the money, failed to find the person, and even had their potions stolen!

What was even more infuriating was that Tang Hao had only stolen Spirit Hall's potions. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's potions had been left untouched. This was an open provocation.

The truth was that Tang Hao had a good relationship with Sword Douluo. There was no need to fall out with an old friend over a few potions. As for Spirit Hall, that was a blood feud.

If Tang Hao's injuries had healed, he could probably have killed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo on the spot.

With the potions gone, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not dare pursue him. It was inevitable that they could not defeat Tang Hao, and their actions became somewhat extreme. After all, if they returned empty-handed, Bibi Dong would not let them off easily.

"Spirit Hall personnel, search them one by one! See who has twenty-eight million Gold Soul Coins on them, or any potions!" Chrysanthemum Douluo roared.

The smaller sects dared to be angry but not speak out in the face of Spirit Hall's search. Even the Spirit Hall members were uneasy about searching the larger sects.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not something you can search whenever you please," Sword Douluo said unhappily as he looked at the approaching Spirit Hall personnel.

At that, the Spirit Hall members hesitated. Ghost Douluo grabbed Chrysanthemum Douluo by the shoulder, and the latter slowly calmed down.

There were quite a few Titled Douluo here. If they truly offended them, wouldn't that cause trouble?

"Everyone! You all saw what happened earlier! That person must be among us! So I hope everyone will cooperate with the search. After all, don't you all want to know where that person is?" Ghost Douluo's voice was low, but his words struck home.

The person who made the potions was the most important thing. However, searching someone else's Soul Tool without cause was hard to justify. Everyone had secrets, after all.

Seeing that things seemed to have reached a stalemate, Ye Han's lips curled slightly. He tugged Zhao Lei and pointed toward the entrance. Although Zhao Lei did not know what Ye Han intended to do, he still followed along.

"What are you wasting time talking for? The person's already gone! Search if you want! I still have business at the academy, so I'm leaving first!" Zhao Lei said bluntly, pulling Ye Han toward the exit.

As a Titled Douluo, Zhao Lei was not someone others dared to stop. Yet Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood in his way, their expressions unfriendly. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Could the little girl behind you be the woman from before in disguise?"

Ye Han and Zhao Lei had discussed this beforehand, so neither panicked. Zhao Lei directly pulled Ye Han over. "See this? That's an Adam's apple! Xiao Han might look like a girl, but he's a boy! Understand?"

"Hmph! Who knows whether that's a disguise?" Chrysanthemum Douluo said disdainfully.

Zhao Lei laughed at that. Chrysanthemum Douluo was really determined to argue.

"A disguise? Xiao Han, take it out and show them your little treasure!" Ye Han's face darkened slightly at Zhao Lei's inappropriate words.

Hearing Zhao Lei's shameless remark, everyone else did not know how to respond. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo was left speechless for a moment.

"Your Excellencies, Uncle Zhao and I merely came to watch the excitement. And because I'm too young, I don't have a Soul Tool at all. This bracelet is only an ornament! If you want to search me, you can take a look!" Ye Han removed his Soul Ring Liberator and handed it to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Seeing how candid Ye Han was, Chrysanthemum Douluo took the bracelet and inspected it. It truly was not a Soul Tool, so he returned it to Ye Han.

"How do I know you haven't hidden anything?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.

This was exactly the effect Ye Han wanted. He openly stretched out his hand. "Why not let Chrysanthemum Douluo check?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo froze and looked at Zhao Lei beside him. Zhao Lei seemed to understand Ye Han's mischievous intentions as well. "My student is letting you inspect him, so go ahead! We don't have anything on us anyway!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo did not hesitate. He wrapped Ye Han in Soul Power, and there truly was no fluctuation from a Soul Tool. Moreover, Ye Han had removed his coat, leaving nowhere else to hide one.

"So we can leave now, right? You're not going to inspect my Soul Tool too, are you?" Zhao Lei said sarcastically.

Chrysanthemum Douluo took a deep breath. Knowing he was in the wrong, he said unhappily, "No need. Even if you changed your appearance, I would still recognize you, a Titled Douluo!"

Zhao Lei shrugged and left with Ye Han.

Seeing Ye Han leave, the others also wanted to depart. But with that precedent, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo became even more overbearing. "Even the Titled Douluo have done this! What about you? Aren't you going to show some cooperation?"

Watching the two leave, Ghost Douluo waved his hand, and two Spirit Hall members followed after them.

This was exactly the effect Ye Han wanted. Searching them one by one would waste the most time, and Ye Han naturally knew people were following them. He did not drive them away.

After coming out, Ye Han and Zhao Lei did not leave the Heaven Dou Imperial City directly. Instead, they wandered around, bought a few things, and soon found a tall building directly opposite the Auction House.

Ye Han took out the Shadow Stone and spoke to Zhao Lei for a few moments. Zhao Lei also revealed a sly smile. Taking the Shadow Stone, he placed it atop the building while the people following them were not paying attention.

Soon, the search ended, but nothing was found. This left Chrysanthemum Douluo extremely frustrated. The followers also returned and softly reported in Ghost Douluo's ear, "They've left the Heaven Dou Imperial City!"

"Was there anything suspicious?" Ghost Douluo always felt that the matter was connected to Ye Han and Zhao Lei, but he could not identify the link.

"They only bought some grain and daily necessities before leaving. And they noticed me," the Spirit Hall member reported.

Ghost Douluo did not care at all that they had been noticed. It would have been stranger if they had not noticed.
