In Xuan City, countless people were shocked by the exorbitant entrance fee of 500,000 Spirit Coin, enough to exclude most of the people in Xuan City from this auction.
Faced with such an exorbitant entrance fee, even those who were unwilling could only leave dejectedly. After all, they had witnessed the strength of this group of black-robed men. Judging from the enormous Spiritual Strength that had surged from them earlier, the power they possessed was definitely no less than that of Dou Di. Even if all the Half-Emperor in the city attacked together, they would probably not be a match for them. The people in the city were well aware of this.
Although most people missed out on the auction, the remaining group certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
A moment later, figures from the city soared into the sky and arrived before the black-robed man standing in front of the spatial passage. A small number of them seemed indifferent to the 500,000 Spirit Coin, but most of them unconsciously showed expressions of extreme pain when they took out the Spirit Coin. Clearly, although the remaining group had the means to enter this Spatial Auction, that means did not necessarily mean they were absolutely wealthy.
In a short time, a crowd had already gathered in front of the spatial passage. In order to maintain order, the man in black robes had to subtly display his power to calm the chaotic crowd and get them into three lines. Even so, the lines stretched far to the horizon, demonstrating just how immense the influence of this Spatial Auction was.
Whenever a force enters the spatial passage, 500,000 Spirit Coin will fall into the sleeve of the black-robed man, or an item of equivalent value. No one is exempt from this, not even the two great families, who must also hand over 500,000 Spirit Coin.
Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe that completely concealed his body, watched the long queue in front of him gradually move forward. He felt somewhat helpless, not expecting that entering the auction house would be so troublesome. He had only been a little slow earlier, and now he was at the very back of the queue. He wondered how long he would have to wait once he entered the auction house.
"Well..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh softly in helplessness. But then, when Xiao Yan casually glanced at the crowd in front of him, his expression suddenly froze. In his line of sight, several figures were standing in the ranks. Looking at those familiar faces, they were people from the two major families.
"They actually..."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise, not expecting that people from these two great families would also be among them.
I thought that with the power of these two families, they should have received special treatment and would have already entered the auction house. However, judging from their current appearance, they seemed to have a helpless look on their faces, and their faces were slightly ashen. Obviously, they were also very unwilling. They did not expect that with their own power, they would have to wait in line.
However, Xiao Yan thought about it again and felt relieved. This group of black-robed men were exceptionally strong. Even the Four Great Sects had to be wary of them. Their two families alone would naturally not dare to provoke them. As for their rules, even if the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect itself came, they would probably have to behave themselves.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the two members of the Huo Clan, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Then, his gaze fell on the Bai Clan father and son. He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the two of them. Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of solemnity.
This father and son were both incredibly cunning and cautious in everything they did. Everything they did seemed to have a purpose, especially Bai Zhan, who deliberately concealed his strength. Even the other three major families were completely unaware of this. Although they had their suspicions, they could never find any evidence to prove Bai Zhan's strength. Even when they tried to test him or threatened him with their lives, he completely ignored them. This alone was enough to make him terrifying.
With this father and son in the Bai Clan, their future is unlikely to be ordinary!
While a powerful tiger can certainly take a person's life, it will also suffer the pain of a counterattack. But a venomous snake lurking in the shadows is different. Once it strikes, a single bite not only leaves the victim with no chance to retaliate, but also kills them instantly, leaving no possibility of survival.
The Heavenly Sword Sect is like a fierce tiger, while the Bai Clan is like a venomous snake coiled beneath it. Once they bare their fangs, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Sword Sect is, they will still be doomed.
"We must be careful with the Bai Clan!"
Even though Xiao Yan had a secret agreement with the Bai Clan, Xiao Yan still had to be wary. This group had worked for the Heavenly Sword Sect for many years, all in preparation for the perfect opportunity to completely destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect. Their cunning was chilling. I believe that whether it was Xiao Yan or any other force cooperating with them, they would probably be terrified!
"Um?"
Suddenly, Bai Ying, Three-Star Dou Di, frowned in the line ahead. His gaze shifted, and his sharp eyes quickly swept over the group behind him. Just now, he had clearly sensed a meaningful look, a look that was clearly directed at them. Moreover, that feeling made Bai Ying's heart tremble slightly, and his inner turmoil wavered—it was fear.
"How could this be... Who is that person? What does he want to do? Why does it scare me?"
Bai Ying's rosy complexion turned pale without him realizing it, his eyes looked particularly solemn, beads of cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead, and even his breathing became slightly unsteady.
That look he just saw made him feel a sense of danger, as if... as if that look could take his life, like a scythe of a demon, making him tremble with fear.
He had felt this feeling not long ago, in the Ancient Ruins a few months ago, with that young man, that young man who was so young yet so incredibly strong.
Could it be him?
Bai Ying couldn't help but think of someone. Although he didn't expect it, once he thought of that person, it lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Noticing the change in Bai Ying's expression, Bai Zhan shifted slightly. He knew his father very well; his father's mindset had never changed over the years. He could remain calm no matter who or what he faced. However, the sudden change in his father's expression made him feel uneasy.
"It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination. When we enter the auction hall, we need to be careful, not just of these wolves, but also of others..."
Bai Ying spoke vaguely, then slowly turned around, took a deep breath, and after a long while, gradually calmed down.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhan frowned, his suspicions deepening, and he was also shocked. He could sense that his father's state of mind had changed, something that had never happened before in all these years.
