"The great formation... is destroyed..."
At the entrance of the auction house, a group of figures dressed in gold cannons were all staring intently at the young man in black robes in mid-air above the square.
Among the crowd, especially an elderly man in a brocade robe, his face was filled with shock and anger, his whole body trembling violently.
The aura within his body overflowed outwards almost uncontrollably, and the void around him distorted violently before exploding into an endless, pitch-black Endless Void.
Just moments before, under the watchful eyes of everyone, as Xiao Yan approached the pitch-black stone pillar, the pillar shattered.
They witnessed firsthand how their most powerful array, which the Formation Master Association had always relied on, was ruthlessly destroyed right before their eyes.
The person who destroyed the great formation, needless to say, was the black-robed youth they were seeing before them.
"President, it's him. The guy who refined the fourth-tier pills before, that's the kid. Qin Yun stepped in to protect him last time, and I even saw him walking side by side with Qin Yun."
Beside the old man in the brocade robe, Cheng Zhihui stepped forward with a gloomy expression and whispered in the old man's ear.
Upon hearing Cheng Zhihui's words, the already gloomy face of the old man in the brocade robe turned even colder.
" Qin Yun..."
The old man in the brocade robe clenched his fists tightly beneath his sleeves, and looked up to see Qin Yun standing high in the sky, his eyes also gleaming with icy coldness as he stared at Xiao Yan below. Around Xiao Yan, the three Nine-Star Dou Di were not to be outdone.
Although the stone pillar was destroyed, the three of them were focused on Xiao Yan. They were completely indifferent to him, or rather, they were not worried about him at all.
"Come with me!"
The old man in the brocade robe waved his hand fiercely, and a group of people behind him immediately followed, rushing towards Xiao Yan and the others with menacing momentum.
Meanwhile, outside the auction house, Han Dong had just left the auction hall, but he never expected that what happened next would be so shocking.
In particular, when he saw Xiao Yan standing right next to the stone pillar, his heart sank even further, and he immediately understood Qin Yun's purpose in approaching Xiao Yan.
Frame-up, malicious intent.
Although he understood this, Han Dong did not choose to step forward immediately. Instead, he observed from the sidelines to see if the people from the Formation Master Association would be foolish enough to be deceived. If Xiao Yan was unharmed, that would be fine, but if things changed, he would take action immediately!
With his Spiritual Strength, he was confident he could stop these people. Moreover, given the reputation of their Alchemist Alliance, these people would likely not dare to act rashly.
" Qin Yun, our two families have always kept to themselves. What is your purpose in doing this today?"
As soon as he arrived, the old man in the brocade robe glared angrily at Qin Yun and coldly rebuked him. At the same time, an extremely powerful aura rushed towards Qin Yun.
Qin Yun was shocked to see that the old man attacked him without hesitation. This was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that the old man would make a move before he even heard him speak.
"Hmph, President Fan, don't you want to hear the truth of this matter? My young master cannot bear this injustice. If you harm him today for no reason, you should know what the consequences will be!"
Just as that oppressive aura reached Qin Yun, a Nine-Star Dou Di who had been standing beside Xiao Yan suddenly appeared. His powerful aura spread out like an impenetrable wall, blocking the oppressive aura of the old man surnamed Fan.
The old man's already gloomy face darkened even more after hearing the threatening words uttered by the man in black robes.
The destruction of the grand formation is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to their Formation Master Association. If this guy hadn't been able to push that person out, Qin Yun would probably have made him pay the price for this even if he had the most compelling reason!
"Hmph, Yan Hua, are you deliberately threatening me!"
"You can certainly think that way, if you're really not afraid."
The black-robed elder, known as Yan Hua, coldly stared at the brocade-robed elder opposite him, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips. It seemed that his words had achieved their intended effect.
" President Fan, regarding this matter, I wonder if you would be so kind as to listen to my opinion?"
"You told me to listen to you, and all of this started because of you, you orchestrated it all, right? And now you want me to listen to you?"
The old man in the brocade robe was instantly enraged. His usual composure was nowhere to be seen. His anger almost made him roar, but for the sake of the reputation of their Formation Master Association, he ultimately held back. Of course, there was also some fear of that person involved.
"Does the president really think this was caused by me? You say I orchestrated everything, then may I ask the president, can you give a reason why I would do this, and what benefit would I gain from doing so?"
Upon hearing the old man in brocade robes' words, Qin Yun smiled coldly to himself; this was exactly the result he wanted.
Upon hearing this, the latter's old face showed a slight pause, then he couldn't help but laugh in extreme anger, scoffing:
" Qin Yun, Qin Yun Qin Yun, you really are something else! What, you dare to do it but not admit it? Wasn't that kid brought in by you? You protected him from the very beginning, your purpose being to create an opportunity for him to destroy the great formation. I saw all of this with my own eyes, and now you dare to spout nonsense here, using clever words and high-sounding words to talk about the truth? What, do you really think I'm senile?!"
" President Fan, as you can see, my relationship with Xiao Yan was indeed close before. I saw his talent and potential. It's something everyone would like to associate with heroes of the world, isn't it? It was precisely because I valued him that I stood up for him during the last alchemy session and even took action against you on his behalf. But now you see, the great formation has indeed been destroyed, but the three guardians beside me are now attacking Xiao Yan. They are my guards; they would never attack anyone without my orders. I only came here at Xiao Yan's invitation, but I never expected him to try to destroy the formation and then pin the blame on me. If Yan Hua hadn't intervened, I would probably be the scapegoat now!"
Qin Yun stared angrily at President Fan opposite him, a hint of fear showing on his handsome face, as if the terrifying aura from just now still left him in a fog, unable to escape.
