Yao Wangui and his group took the lead, glanced at the black robes that were handed to the guests of the Space Trading Fair, which could block detection, and walked in without making a move.

The other top experts behind him did the same thing, showing little interest in the black-robed figure.

There's no other reason than their sheer strength. Isolating detection is only possible within a certain range of power. Clearly, with the financial resources of the three sects hosting the Space Trading Fair, it's impossible for them to research a black robe capable of isolating Dou Sheng Expert from detection. Even if they could, they couldn't distribute and use it on a large scale.

Furthermore, Xiao Han and his group showed up here with no intention of avoiding anyone. Who would dare to make a move against them? That would be like an old man drinking poison – they'd rather die than live!

And so, under the watchful eyes of the old gatekeeper and the other powerful figures, the group of powerful individuals from various factions filed in.

Xiao Han was taken aback by the scene before him as soon as he entered.

He did sense the aura of some Dou Sheng Expert outside, but he never expected that Central Plains was truly a place where hidden talents resided!

Besides Xiao Han and his group, there were other figures in the Space Trading Fair who were not wearing black robes. Without exception, they were all Dou Sheng. More than ten Dou Sheng were a force to be reckoned with wherever they went.

The others narrowed their eyes slightly and were secretly alarmed when they saw the newly arrived group of powerful figures. Xiao Han casually found a place to sit down and then quietly waited for the Space Trading Fair to begin.

Before long, several more figures shrouded in black robes entered, looked around, and walked straight toward Xiao Han.

"Take off your black robes, and I can still protect you all," Xiao Han said calmly.

"Yes!" As the black robe was removed, the face revealed was naturally that of Elder from the Langya Pavilion who had come to participate in the Space Trading Fair.

For them, Space Trading Fair would be a great opportunity to broaden their horizons and acquire treasures.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, an elderly man in a silver robe and with blue hair appeared in the host's seat at the trade fair.

Kong Yi, the Supreme Elder Kongxuan Sect, possesses the strength of Early-Stage Two-Star Dou Sheng and is also the strongest among the three hidden sects.

"I am Kong Yi, and I thank all of you powerful figures for attending the Space Trading Fair." Kong Yi said with a smile, cupping his hands towards the group of powerful figures.

Originally, given Kong Yi's strength and status, there was no need for him to act in this way, but unfortunately, the powerful figures attracted to this Space Trading Fair were quite formidable.

If they become unhappy, not only will the Space Trading Fair not be able to continue, but the three sects will most likely have to replace their leaders.

The three families of the Kongxuan Sect posed by the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame.

However, they still chose to take this gamble. The auction of the top ten Exotic Fire was unprecedented. If this trade fair was successfully held, their already high reputation among the strong in the Central Plains would rise even higher.

The benefits gained from this were almost irresistible to the three sects. Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens, so how could one not take some risks?

Moreover, they have a trump card up their sleeve, so this auction is sure to be a great success!

However, even though he had prepared himself mentally, Kong Yi was still somewhat alarmed by the number of powerful individuals this time. But, he reassured himself that it was all for the Kong Yi.

At least this way, no one will be able to forcibly steal things by relying on their cultivation level. If someone dares to snatch something from these big shots, it won't just be a matter of losing their own life at the Space Trading Fair; they might even lose the sect behind them.

Almost everyone greeted Kong Yi, except for a few who ignored him. Xiao Han was no exception; this was a sign of respect for a Dou Sheng Expert.

Kong Yi didn't care about the different attitudes of the crowd and continued to speak with a warm smile:

"Then I shall make the announcement."

"This Space Trading Fair..."

"Let's begin!"

Xiao Han and everyone present unconsciously focused their energy, wanting to see what treasure was being auctioned at the Space Trading Fair alongside the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame.

Thinking of the auction items for this Space Trading Fair, Kong Yi's face showed strong confidence. For this auction, they not only received auction items from many powerful people, but also almost emptied the treasuries of the three sects.

Kong Yi waved his hand, and Scroll with a faint blue glow appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques, Star Rain Descent Heaven, transforms Dou Qi into clouds, which then turn into highly penetrating raindrops at a designated location. When mastered, it can easily destroy mountains; within a radius of ten thousand feet, no life remains!"

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. His opponent had started with a Heaven Tier Dou Technique, showing they were well-prepared!

Kong Yi then went on to explain the exchange conditions.

"The owner of this Dou Techniques scroll wishes to exchange it for a fire-type Dou Techniques of the same level. Of course, other items such as pills of equivalent value are also acceptable."

Xiao Han relaxed. He didn't actually have any Heaven-Rank Fire-type Dou Techniques, but he was quite interested in the Water-type Dou Techniques. From the description, Xiao Han guessed that it was probably a large-scale area-of-effect turret skill.

As a mage, Xiao Han felt he could definitely research it and, with a few modifications, it could become a pretty good Dou Techniques.

Just as Xiao Han put his mind at ease, the Elder of the Langya Pavilion behind him became excited. Xiao Han was taken aback; it was none other than Elder Cang Yu, who wasn't very bright.

With a flick of his finger, a red Scroll flew directly toward Kong Yi, while five other streaks of Flowing Light shot toward him at the same time.

Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Space Trading Fair, everyone qualified to participate is wealthy."

Kong Yi continued with the process, closing his eyes to communicate with the auctioneer of the Dou Techniques. A quarter of an hour later, he opened his slightly closed eyes.

He smiled and said, "The master of the Dou Techniques has made his choice."

He then flicked the scroll of Dou Techniques toward Cang Yu, while returning the rest to their respective owners. This surprised Xiao Han, who thought that Elder Cang Yu was quite powerful.

"Next, let's take a look at the next item..."

The following auction gave Xiao Han a real eye-opening experience; these three businesses indeed had quite a few treasures.

During this time, even those Dou Sheng Experts who came for the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame couldn't help but bid on a few treasures.

The most precious item among them should be the recipe for a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill Yao Wangui obtained in exchange. Although its effects are limited, its grade is not low.

Xiao Han also managed to buy a few of the top-quality medicinal herbs, managing to make some progress.

However, as the auction progressed, the atmosphere gradually became tense, especially as the auction drew to a close.

Kong Yi's expression immediately turned serious. "I am well aware of the purpose of your presence here today. The upcoming auction requires you to make a choice."

"Do you intend to participate in the auction of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame? If not, please leave immediately."

Many powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had ever seen someone actively trying to drive people away halfway through an auction!

However, many people are also aware that this auction is not so simple, and the subsequent auctions will require the support of strength and background.

A powerful individual with strong capabilities or a powerful background can easily acquire the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame without any problems. However, if someone lacks strength and has no backing, daring to interfere could lead to dire consequences.

Many people wisely left, realizing it's best to avoid getting involved in some of the excitement.

Xiao Han felt a chill run down his spine and said to the Elder of the Langya Pavilion behind him, "You should leave first, as I may not be able to look after you later."

Xiao Han was prepared to take on multiple opponents. He couldn't guarantee that a fight wouldn't break out, as Dou Techniques were unpredictable and could easily be fatal!

"Yes!" The Elder did not hesitate to accept Xiao Han's decision and immediately turned and left the auction hall.

After everyone else had left, Kong Yi smiled again.

"I'm sure you're all getting impatient, so what's next..."

Amidst the somewhat eager gazes of everyone, Kong Yi took out a Cold Qi jade Jade Box, then formed a hand seal, and the Jade Box slowly opened, revealing the true appearance of the items inside.

Black flames burned within, accompanied by howling winds that seemed capable of stirring emotions; however, they had no effect whatsoever on the powerful figures present.

Everyone was focused on the flames that seemed to entice the darkness within people's hearts.

He only showed it to others briefly Kong Yi immediately closing it up.

"I believe you are all ready." A determined look flashed in everyone's eyes, clearly showing their determination to obtain the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame.

"Nine Netherworld Wind Flame Auction: No reserve price, no requirements, highest bidder wins."

"Please name your price."
