Standing in this huge square, Xiao Yan stared at the black stone pillar, lost in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan snapped back to his senses, his eyes quickly scanning the passersby around him with extreme caution.
Looking at the stone pillar again, Xiao Yan slowly scanned it and then realized that within a ten-zhang radius around the stone pillar, no one approached, or rather, no one dared to approach.
The area around that stone pillar was like a forbidden zone, a place where no one was allowed to enter.
What's going on?
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan's face showed surprise. Just as Xiao Yan was beginning to have doubts, he saw that several array masters in the arena were actually looking at him, and there was even a hint of hostility in their gazes.
"Kindness?!"
Startled, Xiao Yan took a step forward and headed towards a more crowded area, thus avoiding the gazes of those people.
Those people who were staring at him just now, could they be Third-Tier Formation Master?
Although he successfully avoided those people, the black stone pillar made Xiao Yan even more curious. It seemed that the stone pillar had something extraordinary about it.
Using his powerful Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan made his way through the crowd towards the auction house.
Along the way, several array masters, whether intentionally or unintentionally, gathered together towards Xiao Yan's location.
As Xiao Yan walked towards the auction house, he listened to the messages coming from the crowd and realized that almost everyone in the city already knew that Fusang Flower would be featured at the auction.
In this light, it seems Xiao Yan was somewhat slow to realize things. After anticipating it for so long, he arrived here to find that everything was already common knowledge. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
In that case, the ring is probably not anything special at all, but rather a publicity stunt by the auction house to maximize its profits.
Although this promotional tactic caught Xiao Yan somewhat off guard, it must be said that precisely because of this, the results were so remarkable.
Putting everything else aside, the mere name of the Fusang Flower is enough to attract the attention of most people. There are still two and a half months until the start of the auction, but in Golden Radiance City alone, there are no fewer than ten Dou Di level experts, all of whom are here for the Fusang Flower.
Whenever someone mentions the Fusang Flower, most people's faces light up with fervor. The hibiscus is renowned even in the most barren lands of this continent.
This auction in Golden Radiance City will likely attract the attention of many powerful figures from the Western Region. After all, the Fusang Flower can increase the Spiritual Strength of a Devourer by an extremely large amount, an effect that cannot be obtained simply through cultivation.
A short while later, Xiao Yan arrived in front of the auction house.
The enormous auction house is located in the northeast corner of the square. It occupies a huge area and its buildings are magnificent and grand. Even compared with the Heavenly Cloud Auction House in Yan City, it is not inferior.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the auction house, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan glanced at the two armored soldiers standing there. Just as he was about to approach, several figures dressed in golden robes suddenly appeared around him and surrounded him in the blink of an eye.
The sudden events in front of the auction house drew the attention of many people. Xiao Yan, who was surrounded, couldn't help but frown slightly. He had been so focused on the auction house that he hadn't noticed the approach of these people.
His gaze swept quickly over the people around him, and then settled on a Xiao Yan -looking man in golden robes. This man was one of the five Second-Tier Formation Master he had blasted away at the city gate earlier.
Upon seeing this person, Xiao Yan immediately understood the whole story. It seemed that this guy had sent people to avenge what had just happened.
"Looks like there's a little trouble."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, and the step he had taken forward landed again. He stood still, his gaze sweeping over the group of people once more.
There were seven people in total: three Third-Tier Formation Master and four Second-Tier Formation Master, including the young man. As for their cultivation levels, apart from the two Three-Star Dou Di, the rest were all at the Nine-Star Half-Emperor level.
Looking at the four people around him, Xiao Yan chuckled and nodded. It was true that Star Radiance City was the territory of array masters, and he didn't want to cause trouble. But since they insisted on coming to his door, Xiao Yan might as well take this opportunity to make an example of them and prevent further trouble.
The seven men, who had come on so aggressively, attracted the attention of passersby, and immediately, a gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"Hey, isn't this Liu Meng? This guy is Three-Star Dou Di! I heard he recently became Third-Tier Formation Master, and he's been acting really domineering in this city lately!"
"Yes, quite a few people have suffered at this guy's hands lately. What can they do when he's Third-Tier Formation Master? They can only be angry but dare not speak out!"
"But what are they doing? Are they going to cause trouble for others again?"
"Tch, didn't you guys hear? Liu Quan got beaten up at the city gate just now. It seems the one who did the beating was a young man in black robes. Judging from his appearance, it should be him. He's in big trouble now."
"Tsk tsk, Golden Radiance City is the territory of array masters. This kid is in for a world of trouble for daring to injure an array master here!"
Amidst the pitying gazes of the surrounding crowd, the seven finally arrived before Xiao Yan, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at Xiao Yan, each with a ruthless expression on their face.
"Kid, you're the one who hurt him just now?!"
The burly man in golden robes who was leading the group shouted at Xiao Yan in a deep voice. Standing next to him was the Second-Tier Formation Master who was called Liu Quan by the passersby. This man was also the one who had been injured by Xiao Yan earlier.
"It's me."
Xiao Yan didn't even look up, and said calmly.
"You brat, you dare to rob a formation mage in Golden Radiance City? You're asking for trouble!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan remained unmoved, the burly man's face immediately turned fierce.
With a thought, terrifying Spiritual Strength surged outwards and quickly condensed into an invisible giant hand, grabbing towards Xiao Yan.
