The third broken sword is obtained

Murong Ce, he's nothing… Xiao Ming’s voice was slow, yet it resounded through the entire venue like a clap of thunder.

Everyone stared at Xiao Ming in disbelief, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

“This fellow actually doesn’t even put Murong Ce in his eyes?!”

The people from Golden Jade Tower were stunned.

The Grey-robed Old Man stared at Xiao Ming in shock.

Murong Chong was also dumbfounded.

Murong Ce, with his formidable strength and dominance over the region, was a Divine Sea Realm Perfected expert!

What capabilities did this young man in front of him possess to disregard a prominent figure like Murong Ce?

Could it be that this fellow was feigning weakness to ambush the strong, and his Cultivation Level was also Divine Sea Realm Perfected?

No... Although Xiao Ming's aura was strong enough, he was clearly not in the Divine Sea Realm; at most, he was merely in the Danhu Realm.

Then, only one last possibility remained.

That was, Xiao Ming’s background was equally powerful; only then could his unruly arrogance be explained.

The Grey-robed Old Man was the first to react, saying in a deep voice, “How dare you show such disrespect to our City Lord! Who are you? What is your background?!”

All eyes once again converged on Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming let out a scoff and proudly declared, “My name is Xiao Ming, and I am a true disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect! Li Changfeng, the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect, is my master!”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly showed expressions of understanding.

So that’s it!

That explained it.

This young man named Xiao Ming was from the Spirit Sword Sect, and he was Li Changfeng’s disciple, a true disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.

No wonder he dared to be so disrespectful to Murong Chong.

It made sense.

With such status, he indeed didn't need to care about the Murong Family's threats.

“I knew it, how could an ordinary martial artist dare to provoke the Murong Family? It turns out this young genius also has a significant background,” someone couldn't help but exclaim.

“Yes, only the strong can contend with the strong. Murong Chong’s status is formidable, but in front of a true disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, it seems less noble.”

“Heh heh, the Spirit Sword Sect and the City Lord’s Mansion have always been at odds. With something like this happening today, I wonder how it will end.”

Many people showed interested expressions.

They were all eager to watch the drama unfold.

And as Xiao Ming announced his name, the pressure immediately shifted to Murong Chong.

Murong Chong gritted his teeth in anger, seemingly still unconvinced.

After all, this was Qingfeng City, their Murong Family’s territory. Although Xiao Ming was a true disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect and Li Changfeng’s apprentice, he was, in the end, an outsider.

Murong Chong still wanted to regain face.

At this moment, the Grey-robed Old Man stepped forward and whispered a few words into Murong Chong's ear.

After listening, Murong Chong took several deep breaths, glared fiercely at Xiao Ming, and then sat down directly.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

However.

Although Murong Chong didn't continue to cause trouble, his sinister eyes occasionally drifted towards Xiao Ming, with a strong desire for revenge clearly evident.

Everyone was not foolish and now understood.

Murong Chong must have been giving face to Golden Jade Tower by not acting out on the spot. But, as soon as the auction ended and everyone left Golden Jade Tower, he would definitely seek trouble with Xiao Ming!

If he didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be Murong Chong!

Xiao Ming naturally knew what would happen next, but he scoffed, not caring.

As long as a Divine Sea Realm expert didn't personally intervene, he could walk freely in Qingfeng City!

A profligate young master like Murong Chong could be easily crushed with a mere flick of his finger!

After the scene returned to calm, the Auctioneer on the high platform called out loudly, “The friction has subsided. Now, let’s continue the auction.”

“The price of the broken sword fragment has reached twelve thousand mid-grade Origin Stones. Is there anyone still willing to bid higher?”

Murong Chong and the Grey-robed Old Man beside him remained expressionless, saying nothing.

The other martial artists also had their own thoughts and paid no attention.

Who cared about some broken sword fragment now!

Everyone was anticipating the great battle that was about to unfold!

Seeing no one respond, the Auctioneer's hammer fell heavily, and he announced loudly, “Congratulations to Young Master Xiao from the Spirit Sword Sect for successfully bidding on the broken sword fragment!”

“Young Master Xiao, please proceed to the backstage for settlement.”

Xiao Ming stood up and walked towards the backstage.

After a few steps, Xiao Ming coldly looked towards Murong Chong, just in time to catch Murong Chong's sinister gaze directed at him.

“I'll be waiting for you at the entrance,” Murong Chong said with a face full of murderous intent and a cold voice, “If you can leave Qingfeng City alive, then I'm not Murong Chong!”

“Then change your surname!” Xiao Ming grinned and immediately said, “From now on, you’ll be called Xiao Chong, my dear son!”

“You scoundrel, how dare you insult me again!”

Murong Chong was furious, trembling all over with anger.

He then decided not to argue with Xiao Ming anymore, because he found that he couldn't out-talk the sharp-tongued Xiao Ming.

After glaring fiercely at Xiao Ming again, Murong Chong left the venue with the Grey-robed Old Man, heading straight for the entrance.

The other martial artists also excitedly rushed towards the entrance, each rubbing their fists, ready to watch the show.

Watching the retreating figures of Murong Chong and the Grey-robed Old Man, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, then activated the viewing function.

As a flash of light passed, the life information of Murong Chong and the other person immediately appeared before Xiao Ming’s eyes:

Name: Murong Chong

Cultivation Level: Yuangang Realm Middle Stage

Fate: Bursting Luck (Green)

Life Script: As Murong Ce's favorite son, the City Lord of Qingfeng City, Murong Chong has always had a smooth life since childhood, with countless resources. Under the blessing of his bursting green luck, Murong Chong's cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, and his future is promising.

Thirty years later, he will become the new City Lord of Qingfeng City, dominating one side.

Recent Opportunity One: Three days later, he will have a heavenly revelation and advance to the Yuangang Realm Late Stage.

Recent Opportunity Two: Five days later, his thoughts will become clear, and he will cultivate the family's cultivation method to a profound level.

Recent Opportunity Three: Ten days later... Murong Chong's information appeared one by one before Xiao Ming's eyes.

Then, looking at the Grey-robed Old Man:

Name: Wu Feiying

Cultivation Level: Danhu Realm Early Stage

Fate: Extraordinary Luck (Yellow)

Life Script: Not as good as the best, but better than the worst. His life is relatively smooth, without much excitement, with occasional achievements.

Recent Opportunity: None.

After reading the life scripts of these two, Xiao Ming couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

To him, these two were not worth worrying about. Although the Grey-robed Old Man was also in the Danhu Realm Early Stage, he was no match for Xiao Ming.

As for Murong Chong, there was even less to say.

Xiao Ming could crush him with a flick of his finger.

However, it must be said that Murong Chong's luck was quite good; it was actually a bursting green luck!

And such good luck is rare and hard to come by!

In fact, the entire community of martial artists in the cultivation world is like a huge pyramid. At the bottom are ordinary martial artists, with either very poor or very common luck.

The higher up one goes, the richer the martial artist's luck becomes, but similarly, the fewer such martial artists there are.

Someone like Murong Chong, who possesses green luck, if no accidents occur, will grow up to become a powerful expert dominating a region.

Unfortunately, Murong Chong met Xiao Ming.

“Green luck, it’s really not bad…” Xiao Ming murmured at the corner of his mouth.

A hint of imperceptible killing intent emerged from the depths of his eyes.

He was preparing to strike a fatal blow, kill Murong Chong, and snatch his green luck!
