Just as the atmosphere in the auction hall was becoming increasingly lively due to the various items brought out by the auctioneer, Mu Han, on the other hand, remained gloomy in the VIP room where Mo Zhai and the others were.
As a dignified Nine-Star Half-Emperor, how could he possibly be at peace with being treated like a prisoner by an Eight-Star Half-Emperor?
Mu Han was furious. Even though he had used every means at his disposal, he still couldn't break through the array that enveloped the entire VIP room. The array was definitely at least Third-Tier Formation!
Unable to shatter the formation, Mu Han became even more furious. With a flick of his sleeve, a terrifying beam of Dou Qi shot out and slammed into the stone gate.
An explosion rang out immediately, shattering the heavy stone door into a pile of rubble. The servant standing outside the door was also startled by this sudden turn of events.
"Hmph! Where are the people from the auction house? Get your ass in here!"
With a furious shout, the waiter outside the VIP room snapped back to his senses. Not daring to be negligent, he hurriedly entered the VIP room, bowed respectfully to Mu Han, and said in a trembling voice:
"I didn't know you called me, sir. What can I do for you?"
Upon first seeing the waiter, Mu Han was about to shout angrily again, but his gaze suddenly tightened as he looked at the waiter, his brows furrowing slightly, and a hint of surprise rising in his heart.
But then, Mu Han suddenly realized what was happening, and the anger on his face intensified. He suddenly stretched out his hand, his palm facing the respectful waiter in front of him, and a violent suction force surged out, grabbing the waiter's head in his palm.
"Hmph! You're not that kid, the one who brought us here! Tell me!"
With a quick glance, Mu Han immediately recognized that the waiter in front of him was not the one who had brought them to the VIP room earlier. Mu Han immediately understood that the formation must have been set up by that kid earlier!
The waiter was terrified when Mu Han grabbed his head. His mind went completely blank, and he was completely unable to answer Mu Han.
"Hmph! You piece of trash!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Han was instantly enraged. He flipped the hand that was gripping the waiter's head and slammed the waiter against the wall of the VIP room with a backhand slap. The force spread and the hard wall quickly shattered.
Such a commotion naturally disturbed the many Half-Emperor present at the auction, including Xiao Yan and Luo Jin.
"Hmm? What's wrong? That guy's still restless, insisting on causing some trouble."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, feeling a bit troubled. Only Mu Han and his group would dare to cause such a commotion at the Heavenly Cloud Auction House.
"Tsk tsk... That guy, it seems he knew things wouldn't work secretly, so he's bringing it out into the open. He really is a stubborn guy."
Luo Jin chuckled softly.
"Isn't he afraid that the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce will cause him trouble?"
Xiao Yan frowned.
Although he knew that Song Gang and Luo Jin had a close relationship, Xiao Yan did not connect the two behemoths Cloud-Hidden Pavilion and Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce, together.
As the owner of Heavenly Cloud Auction House, Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce would naturally not allow any loss to its forces.
"Heh, looking for trouble? Of course he knows how terrifying the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce is. That kind of power is definitely not something a Nine-Star Half-Emperor like him can easily provoke. Even though he is a Third-Tier Formation Master, in the eyes of the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce, he is nothing special."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Luo Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, chuckled with a hint of disdain, and then, after a pause, continued:
"He dared to take direct action because he was confident. The emperor is far away... Even the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce wouldn't go to such lengths for an auction house so far away. It's enough that the Chamber of Commerce sent Song Gang, an Eight-Star Half-Emperor. As for what happens, he'll have to handle it himself."
"And Mu Han, he is fearless precisely because he knows this."
Luo Jin's long-winded explanation left Xiao Yan somewhat confused. He knew almost nothing about management and such, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.
However, Xiao Yan was somewhat curious as to why Luo Jin knew so much about the management methods of the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
"Uh... Brother Luo Jin, how do you know so much about the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"Uh... well, that's just my rough guess. As for power management, it's all pretty much the same..."
Luo Jin looked at Xiao Yan with a flicker in his eyes, his words somewhat muffled, but after a moment of eye contact, the two chuckled in unison, as if they were on the same wavelength.
On Mu Han's side, Song Gang also rushed over in a hurry. The auction in the auction hall had been suspended. If Mu Han's troubles could not be resolved, it would be difficult to get the auction to proceed normally.
" Master Mu, I respect you as a grandmaster and Nine-Star Half-Emperor, which is why I addressed you as Master Mu. This was to save face for you. But what you did today has utterly disgraced my auction house!"
Upon seeing Mu Han, Song Gang didn't bother with any more pleasantries and immediately spoke coldly. Their relationship was already strained, and now that things had come to a head, there was no need for any more politeness.
Upon hearing this, Mu Han also snorted coldly, and with an equally indifferent expression, he coldly shouted at Song Gang:
"Hmph! Song Gang, even at a time like this, you still want to argue with me? You keep saying you respect me, but you're just paying lip service! Since you look down on my strength, then today I'll show you whether you, Song Gang, are truly as fearless as the rumors say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Han didn't hesitate and reached out with his claws to grab Song Gang.
He wanted to use violence to warn everyone present that the authority of the strong cannot be violated!
"Hmph! Mu Han, these are the rules of the auction house. No one is allowed to use Spiritual Strength within the Heavenly Cloud Auction House, not even if you are Nine-Star Half-Emperor. But since you insist on making a move, then let this old man see what's so special about Nine-Star Half-Emperor!"
With a loud shout, Song Gang, his momentum no less than the former, moved swiftly, his palm seals changing as he met Mu Han's powerful attack head-on with a palm strike.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the entire auction hall trembled violently. The combined power of the two High-Level Half-Emperor caused everyone present to change color.
"Bang!"
As expected of Nine-Star Half-Emperor, Mu Han's palms had only touched for a few breaths when Mu Han suddenly lashed out with his arm. With a surge of immense force, Song Gang's body was blasted away and crashed heavily into the wall of the VIP room.
Mu Han, but then moved swiftly, pressing his advantage. With a flick of his wrist, he slammed his palm down hard into Song Gang's chest once more.
"Boom!"
But in the next moment, a figure flashed in front of Song Gang, and Elder Xuan appeared in front of Song Gang, simultaneously striking out with a palm, forcefully blocking Mu Han's imposing palm strike.
Although he managed to withstand the blow, Elder Xuan was severely blasted back, his gaunt body crashing against the wall with a thud, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of Elder Xuan mouth.
"Ahem... Master Mu, it's best to be merciful. After all, you are Nine-Star Half-Emperor, and a renowned Master Mu in this Ancient Wilderness City. He is already injured, and you have vented your anger. The auction must continue, so I hope you will stop here, Master Mu, as a way of giving..."
"Hmph! Enough, you meddlesome fool. What's your pride worth? I'll let this matter go for now. I believe he'll understand the difference between Eight-Star Half-Emperor and Nine-Star Half-Emperor!"
Before Elder Xuan could finish speaking, Mu Han snorted coldly. Because of the array, Elder Xuan's timely arrival went unnoticed by him; otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to attack.
No matter what, Elder Xuan is still an elder of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion. Even if we don't respect him, we should respect the Buddha. Just because of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, as long as he intervenes, Mu Han will naturally not make a move.
"Hehe, that's good then. However, Master Mu, there's something else I need to correct. You certainly don't need to give me any face, but what I was going to say was... for the sake of my master, let's leave it at that."
Upon hearing this, not only Mu Han, but also Yan Bing and the other two behind him, showed a look of shock on their faces. The thought of the master of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion filled them with fear.
Just as the group was pondering the truth of Elder Xuan's words, Elder Xuan reached into his sleeve and took out a lustrous jade fan, which was none other than Luo Jin's Brushing Jade Fan.
