Before the entrance to the auction house, Song Gang and his companions were looking solemnly at the approaching, blurry figures on the northern horizon.

"What's going on? How come that old bastard Mo Zhai is with him..."

"The most important thing is, how did he end up here? In the past, he was always someone who never left his home. People always came to him; when had he ever shown up in person..."

Elder Xuan and Song Gang, standing to the side, both wore grave expressions. One stared intently at Mo Zhai, while the other cast all his questions upon the leading elder.

"Could this... be the work of Mo Zhai?"

"It's highly likely. I sensed two Spiritual Strength colliding in the void just now, and then Yan Xiao was injured. That must have been his attack on Yan Xiao. It's just hard to understand why he would attack Yan Xiao?"

" Mo Zhai can't give him anything."

The two men stared intently at Mo Zhai and his entourage, who were drawing ever closer, and spoke in hushed tones. Meanwhile, Luo Jin, who was supporting Xiao Yan, frowned upon hearing this and spoke up:

"Don't overthink it. As long as we know they're after Yan Xiao, that's enough. Mo Zhai has really blown things up this time. They'll inevitably pull some tricks at the auction, so be careful. If necessary... we won't hold back!"

"Clear!"

Luo Jin's indifferent words immediately changed the expressions on Song Gang and the other man's faces. Although this person was a Nine-Star Half-Emperor, with their knowledge, they were not afraid of him. Now that Luo Jin had spoken, they naturally had no fear.

"Heh, who is it? It's Master Mu. What, after all these years of detachment from worldly affairs, you've suddenly become interested in this Void Lightning Pool Invitation Scroll again?"

Seeing that the four people in the sky were about to descend, the crowd quickly moved, leaving a large open space below them.

No way! These four people in front of them are all prominent figures in the Ancient Wilderness City. Yan Bing and Old Monster Hu are both Eight-Star Half-Emperor. How could they dare to refuse?

But when everyone heard Song Gang's indifferent words, their questioning gazes towards the elder leading the group of four suddenly changed, and a deep sense of fear quickly welled up in their eyes.

In this Ancient Wilderness City, how many people wouldn't know the name " Master Mu "!

He was one of the Twin Hegemons of the Wilderness!

Instantly, the already crowded people stirred, and their gazes toward Mo Zhai and his companions were filled with astonishment. In particular, when everyone's eyes fell on Mu Han, their hearts became extremely solemn.

Upon hearing Song Gang's words, Mu Han slightly raised his eyes, his deep gaze shooting straight at the man like a sharp sword.

But Song Gang remained unmoved by the sharp gaze and completely ignored it.

Back then, Song Gang was someone even Elder Luo had defied. Although there was some exaggeration in his reputation, Mu Han in front of him could at most only make him feel some pressure. He was far from being able to suppress Mu Han with his aura.

Upon seeing this, Mu Han's old eyes narrowed. He had heard about Song Gang's temper; he was extremely hot-tempered and few could suppress him. But seeing was believing, and today he saw that Song Gang was indeed as fearless as the rumors suggested.

"What I'm interested in is not for you to decide. Now, I only ask, when does the auction begin?"

Mu Han sneered and asked Song Gang in a cold voice, while his gaze fell on Xiao Yan, whose face was pale. A cold smile flashed across his lips, but a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan, who was already seriously injured, was completely unaware of what had happened.

But Luo Jin, noticing this, squinted at Song Gang, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

Song Gang, who had been watching Luo Jin closely, immediately understood, then snorted coldly and spoke to Mu Han again:

" Master Mu, I don't really need to ask you any questions about your participation in the auction, but... you injured the organizer of this auction, and that's something I have to get involved in!"

"Heh... I've always disliked being spied on. My actions just now were entirely his own fault."

Faced with Song Gang's chilling words, Mu Han sneered, seemingly unconcerned. But then, Mu Han turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, his tone slightly surprised as he smiled:

"However, he also surprised me. A Three-Star Half-Emperor was actually able to raise his Spiritual Strength to the Late Emperor Realm. Among ordinary Half-Emperor, this is indeed an asset, but in front of me, he should keep it to himself."

As Nine-Star Half-Emperor, Mu Han has absolute power here. Although Song Gang has a fiery temper, it is not enough for him to fight Mu Han. At this moment, Mu Han has absolute authority in the arena!

That's why he showed such disdain for Xiao Yan and his companions; his strength was enough to crush anyone.

Upon Luo Jin felt a surge of anger. He loosened his grip on Xiao Yan's hand slightly and was about to step forward.

He and Xiao Yan were already kindred spirits. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, their friendship was very deep. Now that Xiao Yan was in trouble, how could he sit idly by?

Song Gang and Elder Xuan, who were standing to the side, had been keeping a close eye on Luo Jin. When they saw him about to step forward, their expressions changed slightly. They looked at each other, but ultimately fell silent.

Just as Luo Jin was about to make a move, Xiao Yan, who had just swallowed a pill and whose complexion had recovered somewhat, grabbed the former's arm, shook his head slightly, and blocked Luo Jin's path.

"Let him be. I never expected his Spiritual Strength to be so terrifying. This outcome... was indeed due to my recklessness. As for him hurting me..."

Xiao Yan secretly transmitted his voice to Luo Jin, who gradually calmed down as a result. However, the coldness in his eyes when he looked at Mu Han was still indelible.

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Yan paused slightly, took a deep breath, and stared at Mu Han with narrowed eyes before coldly thinking to himself:

"You will be made to repay it in full in the future!"

A cold sneer ran through Xiao Yan's mind, but a helpless smile appeared on his face. He glanced around before speaking weakly:

"Hehe... I was indeed rash, but since everyone is here, I think we should go into the auction house first, cough cough..."

At this point, Xiao Yan coughed violently for a while, then, with a weak expression, he smiled again and said:

"After all, everyone here today is here for the auction. We can't let these little incidents disrupt the entire auction process, right?"

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Mo Zhai. His slightly blurry eyes were calm, as if nothing had happened.

Upon seeing this scene, even Song Gang and Elder Xuan on the other side couldn't help but show a hint of suspicion on their faces. Judging from Xiao Yan's appearance, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Meanwhile, Luo Jin, standing beside him, was secretly changing his expression, feeling even more shocked by Xiao Yan's presence.

Indeed, at this moment, Xiao Yan looked severely injured no matter how you looked at him, and even the energy within his body was in a state of chaos.

But who could know that at this moment, Xiao Yan's hand, gripping Luo Jin's arm beneath his sleeve, was trembling slightly and violently...
