263: Chapter 263 The Xiao Clan Master, Appraising Treasures at an Auction

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Now, let's head to the auction first..." The group slowly walked out of the Water Pavilion Courtyard.

Standing on the street crowded with people, Hun Tiandi gazed at the vast auction house appearing at the end of his vision; back in Tianbei City, he had also participated in the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion auction.

Naturally, there was no comparison between the two.

At the entrance of the Black Seal City auction, dozens of cold-faced men in armor, with weapons hanging from their waists, scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.

They constantly scanned the crowd; judging from the aura within their bodies, the faintly emanating presence indicated that six of them were at the Dou Wang level.

The rest were at the Dou Ling level.

To use Dou Ling level cultivators as mere gatekeepers—it seemed the strength of the Eight Gates behind the Black Seal City auction was truly formidable.

They were worth subduing.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd as a path was cleared. Hun Tiandi furrowed his brows slightly, catching a hint of restlessness.

"The Sect Leader of the Xiao Sect, he actually came too..."

A young man dressed in a brocade robe, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, had a temperament carrying a sense of ruthlessness and hostility, giving off a feeling of being decisive and vigorous.

The youth's name was Xiao Yujie. He governed the Xiao Sect in the Black-Corner Region and was a member of the Xiao Family. He was a man of the hour, with a straightforward personality and a tendency to seek revenge for even the smallest grievance.

He was a prominent figure in the Black-Corner Region.

Behind him followed four elders with profound auras.

During the Xiao Sect's outward expansion over these years, this Sect Leader had been at the forefront—fierce, battle-hardened, and actively expanding.

Coupled with the support of Jia Nan Academy behind the Xiao Sect, their momentum was currently unparalleled.

"Xiao Sect? Xiao Family?" Hun Tiandi murmured softly. He hadn't originally wanted to encounter the Xiao Family so soon, as his own foundation was still shallow.

Unfortunately, it seemed even the heavens wouldn't allow it. Since that was the case, he would simply take on whatever came his way.

Suddenly, Xiao Yujie stopped in his tracks and looked back with sharp eyes, gazing at Hun Tiandi's group of four in the crowd before leaving in a flash.

What powerful soul perception!

Hun Tiandi was somewhat surprised. As expected of a member of the Xiao Family, their attainments in soul power were incomparable to ordinary forces.

The crowd's gaze followed Xiao Yujie's, revealing the figures of the four.

"Hmm? Who is this youth? Why does his aura provoke a sense of disgust, almost like an urge to kill him..." Xiao Yujie frowned, killing intent surging in his heart.

Hun Tiandi, dressed in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were burning bright, and he showed no intention of backing down as he looked directly at Xiao Yujie.

Many people gathered in Black Seal City were shocked.

It seemed there were good items in this auction to have attracted the arrival of this Thunder King.

Afterward, with a contemptuous glance, Xiao Yujie walked into the Heiyin Auction House without looking back.

He had no intention of speaking with them or taking action.

"Mad Lion Gang, Tie Wu!"

A low shout came from the crowd. The source of the clamor was a power from the Black-Corner Region; armor hung from his right shoulder, and on the bronze plate of his left shoulder was carved a ferocious flaming mad lion.

A hot and violent aura permeated his body, like an enraged lion.

In the next instant, this Mad Lion Gang leader's cold gaze fell upon Hun Tiandi.

Xiao Yujie's earlier actions had already attracted Tie Wu's attention. One must know that the Xiao Sect, Mad Lion Gang, Rakshasa Sect, and Tianyin Sect were all in an alliance.

Boom!

As the two locked eyes, the air in front of them exploded, and ripples emerged, cracking and spreading in all directions.

Withdrawing his sharpness, Tie Wu revealed a ferocious smile and stepped into the auction hall.

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect, Su Mei, wore a revealing dress. A black, seductive poppy was tattooed on her cheek, and her figure was enchanting and curvaceous.

Her willow-like waist was as slender as the wind, and her entire being exuded charm.

She took a deep look at Hun Tiandi, revealing a seductive expression. Shaking the jade fan in her hand, she walked toward the auction. The men around her felt their throats go dry as they watched Su Mei.

The masculinity within their bodies was somewhat out of control.

Based on Hun Tiandi's intelligence, he hadn't expected so many prominent figures of the Black-Corner Region to be stirred.

It seemed some of the treasures had caught their interest.

Hun Tiandi wore a green robe, his handsome face bearing a maturity inconsistent with his age. Since leaving Qingyun Town, the twelve-year-old boy had stepped into the cruel Fighting Qi Continent, struggling, seizing opportunities, and escaping pursuit...

He had experienced countless life-and-death situations along the way. Now, four years later, Hun Tiandi was sixteen and had reached the level of a five-star Dou Ling, which was considered decent among the younger generation.

This time, he came to the Black-Corner Region prepared to add fuel to the fire of this chaotic land.

Therefore, he did not hide his figure and naturally exposed himself in Black Seal City, while Liu Ling behind him wore a cloak, completely covering his face.

Walking with the crowd, they slowly headed toward the auction house; the vast space was bustling with noise.

"Black Seal City auction?" Hun Tiandi said softly.

Behind him, Venerable Qing Feng and Venerable Qingyang looked indifferent; the brilliantly decorated hall could not attract their attention.

In the magnificent hall, the center was a green jade platform surrounded by five-story pavilions, thousands of chairs, and VIP rooms.

Large screens were hung around the auction house, scrolling through countless items participating in the auction. Hun Tiandi scanned them casually.

He didn't see anything unusual.

It seemed some precious items were being kept as finales to appear at the end.

However, some powerful forces had found out about the finale treasures through other channels.

His gaze swept the surroundings and stopped at a treasure appraisal hall. Hun Tiandi walked over without hesitation.

Stepping into the appraisal hall, there were hundreds of small rooms in the wide hall, an arrangement likely intended to avoid exposing one's identity while appraising items.

"Sir, are you here for treasure appraisal or for a valuation for auction?"

A maid in revealing clothes stepped forward with a bow and spoke in a delicate voice.

"Auction!" Hun Tiandi's voice was indifferent.

"Please follow me!" The maid revealed a smile, turned her exquisite curves, and walked forward; looking for too long could easily lead to one's self-control slipping.

These were maids trained by the auction house, professional attendants.

Hun Tiandi stepped forward. In a chaotic place like the Black-Corner Region, one must never underestimate even a defenseless-looking woman.

No one knew how terrifying the power behind them might be.

In short, when away from home, don't provoke what shouldn't be provoked!

"Sir, you only need to hand over the items for auction to the master inside for evaluation. You will be assigned different seats based on the value."

The maid bowed slightly and then withdrew.

A white-haired old man slowly spoke: "Take out all the items for auction!"

Hun Tiandi flipped his hand, and a bottle of yellow spirit crystal source landed on the table.

Looking at the jade bottle on the table, the white-haired old man raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise appearing in his aged eyes.

"This is..."

The old man grabbed the jade bottle and opened the cap. Immediately, a golden-yellow mist rose from the bottle's mouth, and the temperature gradually increased.

Feeling the hot air around him and staring at the mist that looked like threads of golden flame, a glint flashed in his eyes.

He placed the jade bottle near his nose and took a sniff. The rich golden gas made the fire-attribute Fighting Qi in his body become active.

"Tsk tsk, good stuff!"

Feeling the activity of the Fighting Qi in his body, the wrinkles on the old man's cheeks even seemed to lessen as he spoke excitedly.

He flipped his hand and took out a crystal jade dish and a hollow fine needle.

He inserted the fine needle into the jade bottle, squeezed it gently to fill it with golden liquid, and let it drip onto the crystal jade dish.
