Led by An Nan Xiao Yan and his group successfully entered the auction house. After passing through a softly lit passage for a few minutes, their view suddenly opened up, and a gigantic auction house came into view.
The enormous auction hall was fan-shaped, descending in height, and the crowd was currently standing at the higher level.
"Tsk tsk... This auction house is actually set up underground."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling astonished by the design of the auction house. Even Fan Jian and Ouyang Miao beside him were looking at the huge auction house with great interest.
As everyone looked around, the venue was filled with countless seats, far exceeding what they had expected compared to what they had seen outside.
The huge auction hall was already packed with people. Before the official auction, all sorts of noises rang out, creating a rather noisy atmosphere.
"Hehe, what you see at this moment is only a quarter of this auction house. This auction house is divided into four sections: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The space within each auction house is the same, the difference lies in the level and price of the items being auctioned. We are currently in the Heaven section of the auction house."
Seeing the expressions on their faces, An Nan smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to a pretty maidservant dressed unusually revealingly who quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying respectfully:
"Gentlemen, do you have any reserved seats available?"
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the maid, then glanced at the vivid erotic scene in some of the more spacious audience seats not far away. He then shook his head in disinterest. Such vulgar methods are indeed something that people will do at any time, regardless of the strength of the era, and even a powerful clan like the Xiao Clan is no exception.
Seeing the scene unfolding before him, Bai Hua's expression changed slightly. He quickly covered the beautiful eyes of the girl beside him with one hand, blocking her curious gaze. The others understood each other perfectly. Not to mention the Xiao Clan, most forces in the Central Region would do such things. As for the reasons behind it, there was no need to elaborate.
An Nan, however, was unsurprised by this. He casually handed over a jade token, and after the maidservant saw it, the expression on her delicate face immediately became even more respectful and humble. She bowed respectfully to the group and said:
"Please follow me, sirs."
After speaking, the maid turned around and led the way, swaying her slender waist like a snake. The others followed closely behind without looking at her.
Led by a maid, the group walked through several corridors and, after a while, finally stopped outside a private box near the front of the auction hall. They then bowed and withdrew.
Everyone seemed quite adept at this. After entering the private room and taking their seats, the noise from behind was immediately shut out, which greatly improved their mood.
Looking through the light screen, the auction stage seemed to be right in front of them, and everything on the scene was clearly visible. Looking up, Xiao Yan and the others immediately saw Zhao Jin and his group standing in the same private box opposite the auction stage.
Upon meeting, neither side was in a pleasant mood. Cold gazes met each other, and the atmosphere in the two private rooms became tense. An Nan, quite perceptively, waved his hand, and the light screen in front of everyone immediately became much blurrier. Zhao Jin and the others on the other side were also obscured. At this moment, the only thing they could see was still the scene in the auction.
She shook her head slightly, suppressing the emotions in her heart, then looked at Ouyang Miao beside her, staring at the latter with curiosity, and pursed her lips, saying:
"By the way, is there something you need from me?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Miao turned his gaze away from the arena, then smiled knowingly, nodded, and with a flash of light, a jade slip appeared in his palm, which he then handed over.
"This is something my second uncle asked me to give you."
" The Orchid Sword Saint..."
With a flash of surprise, Xiao Yan looked at the jade slip that was handed to him, hesitated for a moment, then took it. At the former's prompting, he slowly closed his eyes and injected a Soul Power into it to examine it.
"Whoosh!"
After only a dozen or so breaths, Xiao Yan, who was intently examining the jade slip, suddenly snapped back to reality. He stood up abruptly, his hand gripping the jade slip tightened instantly, and his dark eyes snapped open, filled with barely concealed excitement.
"This... this is..."
A twitch appeared in the corner of Xiao Yan's eye. He slowly lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the jade slip he was clutching tightly in his hand. He spoke with difficulty, his face filled with disbelief.
Inside this jade slip was none other than the Emperor Seal Art that Xiao Yan had witnessed being used by the Gu Clan!
Moreover, compared to the previous version, the Emperor Seal Art recorded in the jade slip in his hand was more complete and refined. It not only incorporated the first five seals he had practiced, but also condensed and sublimated them, making them even more powerful. What caught Xiao Yan's attention the most was naturally the last three seals in this Emperor Seal Art!
According to the jade slip, this Emperor Seal Art, also known as the Eight Emperor Seal Techniques, consists of the Mountain Splitting Seal, Sea Overturning Seal Earth Covering Seal Heaven Annihilating Seal Ancient Emperor Seal, Mountain and River Seal, Heaven and Firmament Seal Heaven Flipping Seal, and Azure Sky Seal. When the first five seals are combined, their power is comparable to Human Class Dou Technique, even surpassing the technique cultivated by Xiao Yan. If all eight seals are connected and combined, they are enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, with power comparable to Saint Class Dou Technique!
Regardless of anything else, the mere mention of these four seemingly simple words, "Saint Class Dou Technique," is enough to make Xiao Yan take notice.
Since he began cultivating the Emperor Seal Art, he has defeated countless opponents with it. However, as his strength has grown, Heaven Class Dou Technique have long been unable to limit him. Now, when Emperor Seal Art again, its power is undoubtedly weakened. If he wants to increase its power, then the Eight Emperor Seal Techniques in his hand at this moment are undoubtedly the best choice.
"Hehe, my second uncle knows you have a special connection with this Emperor Seal Art, so he sent me to deliver it to you."
Ouyang Miao smiled faintly, but the words he uttered caused the expressions of everyone present to change instantly. Even Fan Jian couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan slightly, clearly showing that he did not dare to underestimate the Emperor Seal Art.
"But this..."
"Take it. I can tell this will be of great help to you. Consider it a favor you owe me, and you can repay it later."
As soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Ouyang Miao interrupted him. He naturally understood Xiao Yan's concerns, but judging from his meeting with Zhao Jin today, the latter was clearly not popular in the Xiao Clan. In a sense, the arrival of the Emperor Seal Art at this time was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
"Clang..."
As Xiao Yan frowned and pondered, a clear chime suddenly rang out from the center of the auction house, then swayed and echoed throughout the entire auction house. The buzzing chime gradually suppressed the noisy commotion in the hall.
As the chimes slowly faded, countless gazes converged on the center of the auction stage. Everyone knew then that the real show was about to begin...
