182: conflict

Senior Fox Meier paused, turned around, and looked at Lin Feng with her cunning eyes, saying, "Oh? Daoist Lin has an item he wishes to consign for auction? Of course, but our Demon Clan Auction House has strict requirements for consigned items. What kind of item does Daoist Lin wish to consign?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng took out a blood jade coral from his Storage Ring. This blood jade coral was vibrant in color, like fresh blood, and emitted a faint luminescence; it was clearly an extraordinary item.

When Senior Fox Meier saw the blood jade coral, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Feng to produce such a precious item for consignment. She reached out, took the blood jade coral, examined it carefully, then nodded and said, "Indeed, this blood jade coral is a rare treasure. Daoist Lin, rest assured, I will arrange for it to be included in the next auction."

Lin Feng was overjoyed to hear this. He hadn't expected Senior Fox Meier to agree to his request so readily. He quickly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Miss Meier, I am extremely grateful."

Senior Fox Meier chuckled and said, "Daoist Lin, you are too polite. Our Demon Clan Auction House thrives on trade. As long as you have good items, we naturally welcome them. Well, if Daoist Lin has no other matters, I shall take my leave. The auction will be held in seven days. At that time, Daoist Lin can come with this token." With that, Senior Fox Meier handed Lin Feng a token. The token was engraved with complex patterns, emitting a faint luminescence; it was clearly an extraordinary item.

Lin Feng took the token, examined it carefully, and then placed it into his Storage Ring. He cupped his hands to Senior Fox Meier and said, "Thank you, Miss Meier, I shall take my leave."

Senior Fox Meier smiled and nodded, saying, "Daoist Lin, take care. I look forward to seeing you again at the auction."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, then turned and left the Demon Clan Auction House. Lin Feng had taken out the blood jade coral because he wanted to see its price at the auction, and also to gauge the strength of the Ten Thousand Demons Auction House.

After leaving the auction, Lin Feng did not immediately return but chose to wander around Ten Thousand Demons Valley, wanting to better understand the customs and traditions of this Yao Race gathering place. He strolled along the streets of Ten Thousand Demons Valley, seeing various Yao Race powerhouses coming and going on both sides of the street. Some were trading items, others were exchanging cultivation insights, and the entire Ten Thousand Demons Valley was filled with clamor and excitement.

As Lin Feng walked, he saw many rare items and unique Yao Race powerhouses. His heart was filled with curiosity, and he occasionally stopped to observe everything around him. He found that although the Yao Race powerhouses here looked fierce, most were quite friendly; as long as you didn't provoke them, they wouldn't actively attack you.

Not all of the Yao Race here harbored ill will towards the Human Race; the Yao Race simply desired to transform. Generally, this occurs at the Fourth-stage Nascent Soul Realm, but most here, like Lin Feng, were at the Third-stage Golden Core Realm, and Third-stage Yao Beasts could partially transform.

However, their intelligence was not fully developed, making communication with Human Cultivators quite difficult. Nevertheless, there were some Yao Race powerhouses who, although only at the Golden Core Realm, possessed intelligence no less than Human Cultivators and could communicate smoothly with them.

As Lin Feng walked, he saw many such Yao Race powerhouses. They sat or stood, and some even conversed with Human Cultivators, their faces beaming with friendly smiles. Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel, indeed, Ten Thousand Demons Valley was a place where hidden talents and extraordinary individuals emerged endlessly.

He continued to stroll along the street when suddenly, a quarrel erupted. Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly stopped, looking in the direction of the sound. Not far away, a group of people were gathered, arguing about something. Curious, Lin Feng stepped forward, wanting to see what was happening.

He squeezed through the crowd and saw a Human Cultivator in a blue robe arguing with a Yao Race powerhouse. The Yao Race powerhouse was burly, with a ferocious face, looking quite formidable. The Blue-Robed Cultivator, however, appeared rather disheveled, his clothes messy, and several scratches on his face.

This Blue-Robed Cultivator was clearly no match for the Yao Race powerhouse. He retreated while shouting, "You, you Yao Race are going too far! I just wanted to buy an item, and you treat me like this!"

The Yao Race powerhouse laughed loudly upon hearing this, saying, "Hmph, Human Race Cultivator, do you think this is your Human Race's territory? Here, we, the Yao Race, are the Dominators! If you want to buy items, you must follow our Yao Race's rules!"

With that, the Yao Race powerhouse extended his large hand and grabbed at the Blue-Robed Cultivator. Seeing this, the Blue-Robed Cultivator's face changed drastically, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Lin Feng frowned at this scene. Considering that this was Yao Race territory, Lin Feng did not interfere but instead stepped aside and quietly watched as the Yao Race powerhouse seized the Blue-Robed Cultivator.

After grabbing the Blue-Robed Cultivator, the Yao Race powerhouse threw him roughly to the side, then loudly declared, "Hmph, Human Cultivator, be careful in the future. If you dare to cause trouble in our Yao Race territory again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Blue-Robed Cultivator was thrown aside, looking utterly disheveled. He struggled to his feet, looking at the Yao Race powerhouse, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that here, he was utterly unable to contend with the Yao Race powerhouse and could only swallow his anger.

Lin Feng watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh. In Ten Thousand Demons Valley, there were many Yao Race powerhouses, and it was indeed difficult for Human Cultivators to survive here. He secretly decided that in the future, when traveling through Ten Thousand Demons Valley, he must be even more careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He turned to leave when suddenly, a figure rushed out of the crowd and charged towards the Yao Race powerhouse. Lin Feng was startled and quickly stopped, looking in the direction of the sound. He saw a Red-Clad Woman, holding a long sword, its tip pointed directly at the Yao Race powerhouse.

"Hmph, in broad daylight, you dare to bully a Human Cultivator like this, it's absolutely outrageous!" the Red-Clad Woman exclaimed loudly, her tone filled with anger.

The Yao Race powerhouse's face slightly changed upon seeing this. He hadn't expected anyone to dare to stand up for that Human Cultivator. He sneered, "Hmph, you ignorant fool, daring to meddle in others' affairs! Take this!"

With that, the Yao Race powerhouse extended his large hand and grabbed at the Red-Clad Woman. Seeing this, the Red-Clad Woman's figure flickered, dodging the Yao Race powerhouse's attack. Then, holding her long sword, she engaged in battle with the Yao Race powerhouse.

Lin Feng watched this scene and couldn't help but secretly admire her. This Red-Clad Woman was quite powerful, able to fight the Yao Race powerhouse to a standstill. He secretly decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely befriend this Red-Clad Woman.

The battle continued for a while, and the Yao Race powerhouse gradually fell into a disadvantage. He was startled, knowing that if this continued, he would likely suffer a loss. So, he roared, summoning all his strength, and attacked the Red-Clad Woman.

Seeing this, the Red-Clad Woman did not dare to be careless. Her figure flickered, dodging the Yao Race powerhouse's attack, then she seized the opportunity to counterattack. A flash of sword light appeared, and a wound appeared on the Yao Race powerhouse's body.
