Xiao Yan's words left both Ya Fei and Gu Ni somewhat astonished.
They wondered whether they were imagining things. Why did this black-robed man before them seem so dismissive of a mighty Dou Wang expert?
Could he be a Dou Wang himself?
At that thought, the fear in their eyes grew even more pronounced.
If he really was a Dou Wang expert, that would change everything.
Ya Fei even wondered whether she should notify the patriarch, Mittel Tengshan, and ask him to come to Wutan City to meet this black-robed man in person.
"Master Gu Ni, Miss Ya Fei, everything is ready."
Just then, the man who had left earlier hurried back in and presented a Storage Ring.
"My lord, please check whether these supplies are sufficient."
After taking the Storage Ring, Gu Ni hurriedly handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Mm!"
Xiao Yan nodded lightly and inspected the items inside the Storage Ring.
There were crimson flame grass, fire phoenix fruit, and blazing sun flower, with no fewer than thirty of each.
Only the Tier Three Fire-Attribute Magic Cores were lacking, with a mere four of them.
Still, Xiao Yan had expected as much. After all, a Tier Three Magical Beast was comparable to a Da Dou Shi.
They were difficult to hunt, and more importantly, not every Tier Three Magical Beast had a magic core inside it.
Thus, the higher a magic core's tier, the rarer it was.
"There are a little too few magic cores, but they'll barely suffice."
"Thank you for your help this time. If fate allows, we'll meet again!"
Xiao Yan put away the Storage Ring, said a few words to Ya Fei and Gu Ni, and prepared to leave.
"My lord, I can request more Tier Three Fire-Attribute Magic Cores from the auction houses in other cities, or even from the family."
"Perhaps you could leave your name or address, and I could deliver them to you personally when they arrive."
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to leave, Ya Fei finally summoned her courage and spoke.
Her actions sent a shiver of dread through Gu Ni.
My dear young lady!
Since he's concealed his true appearance beneath a black robe...
He clearly doesn't want anyone to know who he is.
And you still dare ask him that? Are you afraid you aren't dying fast enough?
If you anger him, won't we die without even knowing what hit us?
"Since you're willing to go to the trouble, I'll return in a month."
"Remember, I am Lin Dong of the Dao Sect!"
With that, Xiao Yan lingered no longer and headed straight outside.
"Dao Sect... Lin Dong?"
"Uncle Gu Ni, have you ever heard of a faction called the Dao Sect?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei gave Gu Ni a puzzled look and asked.
"There shouldn't be any such faction in the Jia Ma Empire. He's most likely an expert from another empire."
Gu Ni shook his head. Apart from the Misty Cloud Sect, the Jia Ma Empire had no powerful sects at all.
Below the Misty Cloud Sect, the strongest powers were the Three Great Families of the imperial capital.
But this man clearly thought little of the Three Great Families, so he could only be an expert from outside the Jia Ma Empire.
Outside the Mittel Auction House!
At that moment, the experts of Wutan City's Three Great Families had already gathered there.
Upon hearing that the Mittel Auction House had been attacked by an unknown expert, they had all rushed over immediately.
The backing behind the Mittel Auction House was far beyond anything their Three Great Families could match.
Thus, they all wanted to cultivate good relations with the Mittel Auction House.
Now that an opportunity to show their worth had arrived, each was more eager than the last.
When Xiao Yan emerged and saw all this, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
The others were one thing, but even his own father, Xiao Zhan, had come to join the commotion.
"What gutter rat dares run wild in our Wutan City!"
"You forced your way into the Mittel Auction House and injured so many people. Do you think you can simply leave?"
"Who exactly are you, sir? And what is your purpose in coming to Wutan City?"
Seeing Xiao Yan emerge, the patriarchs of the Three Great Families began questioning him.
"I hadn't intended to attack you, but since you're courting death, you can't blame me!"
Looking at the members of the Three Great Families, Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
To hell with the original plot!
Xiao Yan was the one who had to keep the plot unchanged!
Not him, Lin Dong of the Dao Sect!
Today, he would unleash a slaughter!
With that thought, Xiao Yan took a light step forward, and a hurricane-like surge of Dou Qi instantly swept outward.
Everyone within a hundred meters was sent flying.
Through the pressure of his Dou Qi alone, everyone from the Three Great Families, including Xiao Zhan, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Those below Dou Shi were even more grievously injured and near death, clinging to life by their last breath.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to strike again and kill everyone outside the Xiao Clan, a voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Little fellow, hurry back!"
"The Dou Emperor beside your little girlfriend is about to return to Wutan City!"
"If he runs into you, a fierce battle will be unavoidable. As you are now, you're no match for him."
The speaker was none other than the Medicine Emperor. Though he was still in Xiao Yan's room, that meant little.
His soul power was so immense that it could instantly cover more than ten cities the size of Wutan City.
And that was with less than one hundredth of his soul power remaining.
"Consider yourselves lucky!"
Beneath his black robe, Xiao Yan sneered. A pair of crimson wings then appeared on his back, and with a gentle beat, he flew into the distance.
Gasp!
"Dou Qi Transformation into Wings?"
"He's actually a Dou Wang expert!"
"Heavens, what did we just do? We actually offended a Dou Wang expert!"
At this sight, the members of the Three Great Families all sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces filled with the terror of having narrowly escaped death.
Ya Fei and Gu Ni, who had just hurried out of the auction house, also wore looks of disbelief.
A Dou Wang!
He really was a Dou Wang!
No wonder he had dismissed the Mittel Family's offer to recruit him.
With a Dou Wang expert so young, breaking through to Dou Emperor in the future surely wouldn't be difficult, would it?
With that conjecture in mind, Ya Fei hurriedly ordered someone to send word of what had happened back to the imperial capital and inform her grandfather, Mittel Tengshan!
"Lin Dong of the Dao Sect?"
"What kind of faction could nurture such a young Dou Wang?"
Ya Fei gazed in the direction Xiao Yan had flown and murmured to herself.
In her eyes, a Dou Wang was already an existence far beyond her reach.
Thus, she had never considered that Xiao Yan might be a Dou Huang expert.
After all, Xiao Yan's voice clearly still carried a trace of youthful immaturity, leading Ya Fei to judge that he was under twenty.
A Dou Wang under twenty-in the entire Jia Ma Empire, perhaps only Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, could barely compare.
"Miss Ya Fei, Master Gu Ni, just who... was that man?"
By then, the patriarchs of the Three Great Families had finally recovered somewhat. They struggled over to Ya Fei and Gu Ni and asked.
