102: I am a gentleman!
Not long after, Nie Wuwei arrived in front of the Demon Clan First Auction House.
Just as he was about to enter the Demon Clan First Auction House, a black-clothed figure appeared before him.
“Ninth Prince, Your Majesty requests your presence at the palace!”
Looking at Nie Wuwei, the black-clothed figure said.
Nie Wuwei’s expression turned very ugly as he looked at the black-clothed figure.
Especially the other party’s words, which made him even more displeased.
However, he still nodded.
There was nothing he could do; he dared not disobey the order.
At this moment, he was secretly filled with regret.
If only he had known, he would have acted first!
It was a pity, he was still a bit too slow.
In fact, he had long guessed that his Imperial Brother might obstruct his actions.
He just didn't expect it to actually be true.
Subsequently, the two flew towards the Imperial Palace.
By the time Nie Wuwei arrived at the Imperial Palace, Nie Feng had already been waiting for a long time.
“Ninth Brother, I know you really want to get rid of that kid.”
“However, now is not the time.”
“I promise you, as soon as the time is right, I will definitely eliminate that kid.”
Seeing Nie Wuwei arrive, Nie Feng immediately spoke directly.
“I understand!”
Nie Wuwei nodded, his face full of bitterness, as he spoke.
Even if he was extremely unwilling in his heart, what else could he do?
He was also very desperate!
“Imperial Brother, when will we make our move?”
After a moment of silence, Nie Wuwei asked.
“I don’t know for now.”
Nie Feng sighed, a wry smile on his face.
There was a reason why he said that.
Because he hadn’t yet prepared to completely fall out with Lord Xiaoyao.
He was waiting for an opportunity!
An opportunity to completely eliminate Lord Xiaoyao!
Because, in his heart, Lord Xiaoyao was a huge threat.
Or rather, the biggest threat.
Nie Feng’s words made Nie Wuwei feel very speechless.
“Imperial Brother, what is that kid’s background?”
Looking at Nie Feng, Nie Wuwei asked again.
“We can’t find out. He’s probably from some reclusive power!”
Nie Feng shook his head, frowning as he spoke.
“Reclusive power?”
Nie Wuwei was slightly startled, a bewildered expression appearing on his face.
If that were truly the case, why would that kid be willing to stay by Nie Keke’s side?
How strange!
Wait!
Unless… Thinking of a possibility, Nie Wuwei's eyes revealed a look of shock.
“Imperial Brother, do you think there’s a possibility?”
“That kid’s backing, has it colluded with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?”
Staring at Nie Feng’s face, Nie Wuwei asked.
“What I worry about most, is actually this very issue.”
Nie Feng frowned and said.
“This time, before the selection of the new Emperor, we must eliminate Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate.”
Nie Feng then added.
“...”
...What Nie Feng and the other didn't know was that at the same time, Lord Xiaoyao had already arrived near the Demon Clan First Auction House.
Seeing Nie Wuwei leave, Lord Xiaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he also didn't want to fall out with the The Royal Family right now.
He also felt that the time was not yet ripe.
Similarly, he also wanted to eliminate the The Royal Family.
Now, he could basically confirm one thing.
The disappearance of his son and daughter-in-law was definitely related to the The Royal Family.
Or rather, it was Nie Feng’s doing.
“It seems that this kid Tang Tian is a variable!”
Shaking his head with a light laugh, Lord Xiaoyao said with a myriad of emotions.
Afterward, he flew and concealed himself in the Void Realm.
On the other side, Tang Tian and Nie Keke had already entered the Demon Clan First Auction House.
Immediately, a white-haired, smiling Demon Race old man in a golden robe appeared before them.
“Two distinguished guests, how may this old man assist you?”
Looking at Tang Tian and Nie Keke, the Demon Race old man asked directly.
Seeing this, Tang Tian felt very puzzled in his heart.
Didn’t this person need to bow to Ke Ke?
That shouldn't be!
No matter what, Ke Ke was a Princess.
Soon, Tang Tian understood what was going on.
Because Nie Keke immediately transmitted a message to him, explaining it.
So, the reason the other party acted this way was all because of the Demon Race The Royal Family?
In recent years, the Demon Race The Royal Family had not refrained from openly and secretly suppressing Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate.
Over time, no one took Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate seriously anymore.
Of course!
Except when facing Lord Xiaoyao himself!
After all, no matter what, Lord Xiaoyao was a top-tier Great Emperor.
Offend him?
Not everyone had that courage!
“We are here to auction weapons.”
Nie Keke said calmly, glancing at the Demon Race old man.
“As far as I know, Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate is as poor as a church mouse, isn’t it?”
“What kind of weapons could you possibly have to auction?”
The Demon Race old man looked Nie Keke up and down, and said mockingly.
A hint of disdain also flashed in his eyes.
If Lord Xiaoyao were here, he would treat him with utmost respect.
But this little girl in front of him?
Heh heh!
If not for not wanting to offend Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate too much, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.
“What? Your Demon Clan First Auction House is so meddlesome?”
“Even those in the Imperial Palace aren’t as arrogant as you, are they?”
Just then, Tang Tian said indifferently.
Seeing Nie Keke’s slightly displeased expression, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In recent years, this girl Ke Ke must have suffered a lot, right?
No wonder she said everyone treated her like a little Devil Girl!
If she didn't have any edges, wouldn't she just let others bully her?
“Brat, who are you?”
“Is it your turn to speak?”
The Demon Race old man snorted coldly, his eyes filled with Killing Intent, as he spoke.
Clearly, he had mistaken Tang Tian for Nie Keke’s attendant.
Without any superfluous words, Tang Tian swiftly drew the sword from Nie Keke’s waist.
One sword!
With just one sword, this Little Old Man, a Saint Realm Triple Heaven expert, was instantly decapitated.
He was as dead as could be!
His Storage Ring also immediately fell into Tang Tian’s hand.
Seeing this scene, Nie Keke showed no surprise.
Tang Tian’s combat power had always been astonishing, so what was there to be surprised about?
Moreover, that old fellow earlier shouldn't have directed Killing Intent towards Tang Tian.
He was courting death!
The Cultivators around were completely petrified on the spot.
They all looked at Tang Tian with wide, bewildered eyes!
Killing someone from the Demon Clan First Auction House right in front of it?
What was this kid thinking?
And also!
This kid, wasn't he a little too powerful?
He could even easily kill a Saint?
How was that possible?
It must be because this kid used some unknown trump card!
Also, it was because the Saint from the Demon Clan First Auction House was careless.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to explain.
They didn’t believe that a young man under twenty could kill a Saint?
How could that be?
No matter how much of a Prodigy, there was a limit, wasn't there?
Not long after Tang Tian killed the Demon Race old man, powerful figures immediately appeared from all directions.
Their strengths, without exception, were all above the Saint Realm.
The strongest one was a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert.
This was a thin-faced, sinister-looking Black-robed Old Man.
“Young man, who gave you the courage to kill someone from our Demon Clan First Auction House?”
Staring at Tang Tian’s face, the Black-robed Old Man asked, his Killing Intent surging.
Immediately, Tang Tian was amused.
Seeing Tang Tian able to laugh, everyone around was stunned.
What was this kid thinking?
Didn’t he fear death?
The next moment, everyone understood why.
“Then who gave you the courage to provoke Ke Ke?”
“What? You don’t put Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate in your eyes?”
“Or are you saying that your Demon Clan First Auction House wants to go to war with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?”
Tang Tian glanced at the Black-robed Old Man and said indifferently.
“You…”
Hearing Tang Tian’s words, the Black-robed Old Man’s expression changed dramatically.
Provoke Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?
Go to war with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?
He wouldn’t dare say such words!
Because the strongest expert in their Demon Clan First Auction House was slightly inferior to Lord Xiaoyao.
“You what you?”
“Now, you answer me, what did that idiot mean just now?”
“Coming up and making sarcastic remarks to Ke Ke?”
“Do you have an issue with Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate? Do you have an issue with Grandpa Nie?”
Looking at the Black-robed Old Man, Tang Tian pressed on relentlessly.
“We didn’t mean that, it’s just…”
Tang Tian’s words made the Black-robed Old Man a little flustered.
He really couldn't cope!
These thoughts, he could have them in his mind.
But to admit them… He had reason to believe that he would definitely become a scapegoat.
Being thrown out by the Demon Clan First Auction House to appease Lord Xiaoyao’s wrath was not impossible.
In the Void Realm, seeing Tang Tian’s performance, Lord Xiaoyao couldn't help but marvel repeatedly.
He was also filled with admiration.
This kid Tang Tian was truly a talent!
He could even do this?
Tsk tsk tsk!
At this moment, he also felt a mix of emotions.
In recent years, because of his foolish loyalty, his precious granddaughter and the people of Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate had indeed suffered grievances.
The attitude of these guys from the Demon Clan First Auction House alone was enough to get a glimpse of the bigger picture.
“Just what?”
Staring at the Black-robed Old Man’s face, Tang Tian pressed for an answer.
“Just…”
The Black-robed Old Man stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
What he originally wanted to say was, who didn’t know that Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate was as poor as a church mouse?
But saying that, wouldn't it be openly offending Lord Xiaoyao’s Estate?
After a moment of thought, he decided against it.
The Cultivators around were now a bit at a loss for words.
Tang Tian’s performance was truly beyond their expectations.
The current situation was even more unforeseen for them.
This could actually happen?
Are you serious?
So, the Saint from the Demon Clan First Auction House died for nothing?
Moreover, this Quasi-Emperor in front of them seemed to have no way to deal with this kid either?
It was truly unbelievable!
“This old man is Jian Shisan!”
“I am the person in charge of the Demon Clan First Auction House. May I ask, what do this young friend and Your Highness the Princess wish to auction?”
After taking a deep breath and calming his mind, the Black-robed Old Man slowly said.
“That’s more like it!”
“If you had been like this earlier, would there be so much trouble?”
“I am a cultured person, why force me to act?”
Tang Tian nodded contentedly, pouted his lips, and said in a bold manner.
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Jian Shisan's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
He truly wished he could just kill Tang Tian!
If he hadn't received that message from that Lord, this brat would definitely die.
Jian Shisan sneered inwardly.
Seeing Jian Shisan's aggrieved expression, Tang Tian secretly found it amusing.
Truth be told, there was a reason Tang Tian dared to act this way.
He had long since discovered Lord Xiaoyao hidden in the Void Realm.
Similarly, he had also discovered another individual not much weaker than Lord Xiaoyao.
With Lord Xiaoyao present, what did he have to worry about?
Furthermore, even if Lord Xiaoyao wasn't there, he wouldn't let himself be wronged.
At worst, he would just take Ke Ke and run away.
Beside Tang Tian, Nie Keke's peerless face was adorned with a happy smile.
Tang Tian's performance made her feel very happy and relieved.
So, this was also possible?
If she had been like Tang Tian before, perhaps some existences on the same level as Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, or even stronger, wouldn't have dared to provoke her?
Grandpa Nie's strength was very powerful!
"Ke Ke, show them our spoils of war."
Tang Tian turned his head to look at Nie Keke and smiled.
Slightly startled, Nie Keke nodded obediently.
Spoils of war?
In an instant, her intelligent mind understood Tang Tian's intention.
She understood that Tang Tian didn't want to expose her ability to Artifact Refining and even forge Heaven-Grade weapons.
Otherwise, it would likely attract a lot of trouble.
The Demon Race didn't have many Emperor Realm weapons!
Divine-Grade, Saint-Grade, and Spirit Rank weapons were also pitifully few.
Even Heaven-Grade weapons were very rare.
There was no other way, the Demon Race's resources were too scarce, and powerful Alchemists and Artifact Refiners were also extremely rare.
If people knew she could easily forge Heaven-Grade weapons and even stronger weapons?
What would others think?
They would probably immediately suspect the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy, right?
In that case, some extremely powerful existences would probably go crazy for it!
Under the gaze of countless people, Nie Keke took out more than ten Heaven-Grade weapons and poured them onto the ground.
Seeing the ground covered with High Grade Heaven-Grade weapons, everyone around was stunned.
Many people's eyes were even filled with fervent light.
This?
Seeing the reactions of the Cultivators around, Tang Tian felt a wave of speechlessness in his heart.
Why did these guys all look like they had never seen the world before?
Weren't they just some Heaven-Grade weapons?
Was it necessary to act like this?
Tang Tian couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"I'll leave these things to you. After the auction, sending the demon crystals to Lord Xiaoyaos Estate shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Before Jian Shisan could recover, Tang Tian broke the silence and said.
"No problem!"
Jian Shisan nodded and replied.
His eyes were also full of fervent desire.
Speaking of which, his weapon was only a High Grade Heaven-Grade weapon!
Now, he could change his weapon?
Not bad!
Really not bad!
"That's good."
After speaking, Tang Tian took Nie Keke's hand and left.
"Tang Tian, won't there be any problems with this?"
Walking out of the Demon Clan First Auction House, Nie Keke blinked and asked worriedly.
"What problems could there be?"
"Do you think they have the courage to play tricks?"
"Grandpa Nie is not to be trifled with."
Tang Tian shook his head and laughed wryly.
"Uh..."
Tang Tian's words left Nie Keke unable to refute.
"Isn't this just me being overly concerned?"
"After all, Lord Xiaoyaos Estate is truly short on resources right now."
Nie Keke pouted and whispered.
"I know."
"Let's go!"
"Okay!"
"..."
...Before long, the news of the Demon Clan First Auction House spread throughout the entire Demon Race Imperial City.
Suddenly, Tang Tian became a famous figure in the Demon Race Imperial City.
He was under twenty years old, yet he easily killed a Saint?
And he calmly left under the encirclement of many powerhouses from the Demon Clan First Auction House?
This means, this courage, was truly something else.
Now, countless Cultivators in the Demon Race Imperial City were discussing this matter.
"What do you think, who exactly is this young man? How could he be so aggressive?"
"Who knows? I guess his background is definitely not simple, right?"
"Isn't that obvious? If he were an ordinary person, could he live in Lord Xiaoyaos Estate? Would he have the courage to offend the Demon Clan First Auction House like that?"
"Did you clearly see what trump card that brat used? How could he be so fierce? He could even kill a Saint?"
"It seems the rumors are true! The Little Princess of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate has secretly fallen for this brat?"
"So what?"
"..."
Above the firmament, in the Void Realm.
At this moment, Lord Xiaoyao and an individual wearing a blood-colored robe and a blood-colored mask were chatting about something.
"Lord Xiaoyao, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Isn't that brat in your residence a bit too arrogant and overbearing?"
"He even kills people from our Demon Clan First Auction House as he pleases?"
The blood-robed man looked at Lord Xiaoyao and said with a fake smile.
This was a very cold, aged voice.
"An explanation, what kind of explanation do you want?"
"How about? This old man simply goes to war with your Demon Clan First Auction House?"
Lord Xiaoyao sized up the blood-robed man and said with a half-smile.
"You..."
Hearing Lord Xiaoyao's words, the blood-robed man was furious!
Originally, he just wanted to extort him a little.
But he didn't expect Lord Xiaoyao to be so strong now.
He was careless!
If he had known this, he would have let Jian Shisan extort that brat earlier.
The blood-robed man cursed inwardly.
Go to war with Lord Xiaoyaos Estate?
He wasn't that foolish!
One must know that even the The Royal Family was full of apprehension towards this individual.
Hadn't the The Royal Family's desperate suppression of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate in recent years not been enough to explain the problem?
To put it bluntly, wasn't it because the Little Princess of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate had too strong a talent?
They worried that she would become the new Emperor, the first female Emperor in the history of the Demon Race?
But they didn't expect that this little girl still stood out.
Could it be that she, who rarely showed her face these past few years, had been cultivating diligently?
Was Lord Xiaoyao, this old fellow, always wholeheartedly nurturing her?
The more he thought about it, the more the blood-robed man felt this was possible.
However, upon careful thought, he also found it very puzzling.
According to investigations, the resources of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate were basically subsidized to those soldiers.
Where did they still have resources?
Wait!
Could it be because of the power behind that sharp-tongued brat?
Hiss!
Lord Xiaoyao, couldn't he have long harbored thoughts of rebellion?
Thinking of this possibility, the blood-robed man immediately became uneasy.
"Lord Xiaoyao is really joking!"
With great difficulty, the blood-robed man squeezed out these words.
"Joking? Who's joking with you?"
Lord Xiaoyao pouted and said with a fake smile.
Suddenly, the blood-robed man was a bit at a loss for words.
Then, he found an excuse and flew away.
If he continued to talk to Lord Xiaoyao, he worried he wouldn't be able to control his anger.
At that time, the fun would be immense.
Lord Xiaoyao glanced at the retreating figure of the blood-robed man and also flew away.
On the other side, deep within the imperial palace.
Upon learning of the Demon Clan First Auction House incident, Nie Feng and Nie Wuwei, the two brothers, couldn't help but look at each other.
They became increasingly curious about Tang Tian's origins.
What was this brat's background?
How could he be so powerful?
Could it be that he truly came from some top hidden power?
Had Lord Xiaoyaos Estate colluded with them?
"Imperial Brother, you say, could that brat really have the strength to kill a Saint?"
Nie Wuwei looked at Nie Feng and suddenly asked.
"How is that possible?"
"Even the most Prodigy, reaching Yin Yang Realm Nine Heavens before the age of twenty would be very Heaven-Defying, right?"
"Having the strength to kill a Saint, do you think that's possible?"
Nie Feng waved his hand and said irritably.
"It seems so."
Nie Wuwei paused, then nodded in agreement.
"However, this incident, I think it's a good opportunity."
"Perhaps, we can make use of that old fox from the Demon Clan First Auction House."
"If they are willing to form a united front with us, our chances of getting rid of Lord Xiaoyao will be even greater."
Changing the subject, Nie Feng narrowed his eyes and slowly said.
"Imperial Brother, but will that old fox be willing?"
After a moment of hesitation, Nie Wuwei couldn't help but ask.
Nie Feng immediately fell silent.
He also understood that it wouldn't be easy to move that old fox from the Demon Clan First Auction House!
Speaking of which, he had also coveted the Demon Clan First Auction House for a long time.
Their The Royal Family was also the same.
But why had they never made a move against them?
To put it bluntly, wasn't it because the Demon Clan First Auction House was very wealthy and had an astonishing foundation?
Making a move against them could easily result in both sides suffering heavy losses.
Furthermore, they had always shown no interest in imperial power.
So, everyone had been able to coexist peacefully.
"You go and talk to him!"
After a long while of contemplation, Nie Feng ordered.
"Yes!"
Nie Wuwei nodded and readily agreed.
A hint of madness also flashed in his eyes.
He could be said to harbor monstrous hatred for Lord Xiaoyaos Estate and Tang Tian.
As long as there was the slightest chance to eliminate them, he didn't want to let it go.
His son, Nie Kun, couldn't have died in vain.
After a few more words, Nie Wuwei bid farewell and left.
"I hope I can persuade them!"
Nie Feng shook his head as he watched Nie Wuwei's departing figure.
However, he didn't hold much hope in his heart.
Would that old fox from the Demon Clan First Auction House be so easy to talk to?
Without even thinking, he knew it was impossible.
It seems I need to think of some other way.
Lord Xiaoyao, this old fellow, is a huge threat!
I must get rid of him as soon as possible!
