A Classic Face-Slapping Plot
A child carries gold through a bustling market.
Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan are in this situation.
With his cultivation levels of both Dou Ling and Dou Wang, he was indeed considered a powerful figure in the outside world.
But in Yan City today, that would be perfectly ordinary.
With the Vientiane Auction about to begin, there are countless powerful figures like Dou Wang Dou Emperor in Yan City now, and even many Dou Zong are at an even higher level.
And without exception, they were all there for the Black Card and for the Vientiane Auction.
Only one hundred of these Black Card were released to the public by Vientiane Auction House.
The Northwest Continent is home to many powerful forces, and even for Dou Zong- level force, obtaining a single card is already quite difficult.
Therefore, it is easy to imagine the value of the two Black Card in the hands of Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan.
To put it bluntly, in everyone's eyes, that Black Card was more precious than their lives.
Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan exchanged a glance, clearly sensing that a large number of eyes on them were focused on them.
Knowing that their cultivation level was not considered strong in Yan City at present, the two silently moved closer to Jia Xingtian and the other two.
Most people on the street frowned and looked away when they saw Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan getting closer to Jia Xingtian and the other two.
Jia Xingtian, Fama, Yun Shan, three Dou Zong, are all at the level of just entering Dou Zong, which is enough to make most people hesitate.
While the two Black Card are certainly valuable, the presence of three Dou Zong is equally intimidating.
However, the Dou Qi Continent has never lacked those who have an inflated sense of self-importance.
Facing the three Dou Zong — Jia Xingtian, Fama, Yun Shan —a middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd on the street.
He casually nodded to Jia Xingtian and the other two, then looked at Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan and said, "Gentlemen, I am an elder of the Lion Underworld Sect, Shi Jing."
With your combined strength, using this Black Card Black Card to participate in the auction would be a waste of its value. Why not part with it and give it to me? I'm willing to pay two Black Card Tier 5 Medicinal Pill."
As he spoke, the Shi Jing released his aura, which was much stronger than that of Jia Xingtian and the others, roughly equivalent to a fourth- Four-Star Dou Zong.
Immediately, the expressions of Jia Xingtian, Fama, and Yun Shan changed.
At the Dou Zong stage, One-Star represents a world. The gap between Four-Star Dou Zong and One-Star Dou Zong is enormous. If it's a two-star Dou Zong, they can barely put up a fight; Three-Star Zong can hold out for a while; but a four-star Dou Zong will only be instantly killed.
As for agreeing to the Shi Jing's deal?
Trying to exchange two Tier 5 Medicinal Pill for Black Card? That's clearly bullying!
Although they weren't in the Black-Corner Region before, they knew how much Xiao Yan had speculated on the Black Card. People would even trade it for the Imperial Extreme Pill, let alone Tier 5 Medicinal Pill. The implication couldn't be clearer.
Knowing that they were no match for the Shi Jing, Jia Xingtian stepped forward and faced the Shi Jing directly, saying, "Fellow Shi Jing Demon, those two, one Dou Ling and the other a Dou Wang, with such cultivation, yet they managed to obtain two Black Card. I don't need to explain the intricacies involved; I believe you understand."
Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, the Shi Jing revealed a knowing expression.
Just when Jia Xingtian thought the Shi Jing would back down,
The Shi Jing's expression changed, and he said with a "so what?" look, "It seems they have powerful connections?"
"No matter how powerful they are, can they rival my Lion Underworld Sect?!"
His expression turned impatient. "Hand over your Black Card immediately. While I'm in a good mood, I might give you two Tier 5 Medicinal Pill. Otherwise, forget about the Tier 5 Medicinal Pill, you three will have to hand over your Black Card too!"
Hearing the Shi Jing's domineering and arrogant words, neither Jia Xingtian and his companions, nor anyone else on the street, uttered a sound.
The Lion Underworld Sect is one of the top ten forces in the Northwest Continent, a truly top-tier power, and would be considered first-rate even in the Central Plains.
Within the sect, there is Dou Venerate with a cultivation level of Six-Star who is in charge.
If we were to discuss which force could unify the Northwest Continent, the Lion Underworld Sect would be one of the most promising.
The people on the street never expected that an auction in the Black-Corner Region would even attract the elders of the Lion Underworld Sect.
However, considering that the Shi Jing Elder in front of him has the cultivation of Four-Star Dou Zong, he is most likely after the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, which can enhance the cultivation of One-Star Dou Zong.
"These people are really unlucky. With the power of the Lion Underworld Sect, even the Tian Shu Alliance has to avoid them. No one will stand up for them." Someone shook their head and said.
Behind Jia Xingtian, Xiao Zhan and Mittel Teng Shan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"It seems I'll have to hand over this Black Card. I'll ask Yan'er for another one later." Xiao Zhan thought to himself. Suddenly, he felt that exchanging a Black Card for Tier 5 Medicinal Pill wasn't a bad idea. Anyway, he could have as many as he wanted, as long as he didn't get too many and devalue the Black Card.
Xiao Zhan reached out and tugged at Jia Xingtian, hoping that Jia Xingtian would give in and exchange the Black Card.
Just then, a refined yet dignified voice accompanied a figure approaching from afar.
"Shi Jing Dou Zong, isn't it inappropriate for you to threaten our guests in our Tian Shu Tian Shu?" Xiao Ding, dressed in a white robe with Black Crystal Token engraved with the words "Tian Shu" hanging at his waist, flashed and stood in front of Jia Xingtian, facing the Shi Jing directly.
The Shi Jing scanned Xiao Ding from head to toe, and upon seeing the Token at his waist, it softened its imposing manner. "Elder Xiao Ding of the Tian Shu Alliance? That's quite a sight."
Xiao Ding didn't respond, but calmly said, "Shi Jing Dou Zong, fighting and looting are not allowed in Yan City. You have violated our rules, so please leave Yan City now."
The Shi Jing was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xiao Ding to say such a thing, and a look of surprise appeared on its face. "Let me leave?"
"Don't you Tian Shu take yourselves way too seriously?"
"Although my presence here does not represent the Lion Underworld Sect, your Tian Shu's attempt to expel us over such a trivial matter is something the Lion Underworld Sect will definitely pursue!"
"Furthermore, your Tian Shu's ice-attribute Dou Zong is no match for our sect!"
Hearing the Shi Jing's threat, Xiao Ding remained unfazed, simply asking, "Shi Jing Dou Zong, are you finished?"
The Shi Jing's face turned cold. "How dare you show disrespect to this sect! You're courting death!"
He stretched out his palm and slapped Xiao Ding across the cheek.
Snap!
The slap missed Xiao Ding's face; it was blocked by the back of a suddenly appearing figure.
The figure wearing the Flame Mask stood tall and imposing, his aura concealed, casually brushing aside the Shi Jing's hand.
"Flame Mask... you are the Alchemist Yan Xiao?" The Shi Jing looked at my figure before him, secretly alarmed.
He didn't hold back his strength with this palm strike, aiming to smash Xiao Ding's head, but he didn't expect it to be neutralized so easily. He didn't even feel the opponent using his fighting Dou Qi.
"The Shi Jing Dou Zong can still recognize people. It seems he's either mentally underdeveloped, or he's intentionally violating the rules of Yan City?" Xiao Yan said calmly, thinking to himself:
"A classic face-slapping plot."
