Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Moyanâs Fury Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Moyanâs Fury âA palm strike killing a Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm?â
Mu Caiyiâs stunningly beautiful face showed a look of shock, her beautiful eyes incredulously staring at Feng Wuchen, who was examining treasures.
âIs his strength really that formidable? A single palm strike can kill a Second Layer Tianyuan Realm expert.â Mu Caiyi simply couldnât believe it.
Feng Wuchen was only eighteen, no matter how terrifying his talent might be, it couldnât possibly be at such a frightening level, could it?
âItâs absolutely true. This personâs strength is truly terrifying. Otherwise, he wouldnât have been able to kill Beiming Kong,â the black-clothed guard said respectfully.
âDoes the Shen Dan Master know about this?â Mu Caiyi asked.
âHe should already know. Since Feng Wuchen killed He Mo, the Shen Dan Master certainly wonât let Feng Wuchen off. Should we make a move to keep Feng Wuchen here?â the black-clothed man asked.
Mu Caiyi said gravely, âIf he truly possesses such terrifying strength, no one at the auction will be able to keep him here, unless the Chairman himself acts. But the Chairman hasnât left seclusion, and moreover, this is the Shen Dan Masterâs affair. We should meddle less. Feng Wuchen is not to be trifled with.â
âYes!â the black-clothed man said respectfully.
Mu Caiyiâs pretty face slightly upturned, she then left.
âHave you taken a fancy to any treasures?â
On the second floor of the auction, the maid showed Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao many treasures and then asked with a smile.
âAre there better treasures?â Feng Wuchen asked indifferently.
Feng Wuchen essentially had no interest in the treasures on the second floor. Moreover, he needed treasures that could enhance his cultivation levelâthe likes of Elixirs, magical treasures, and so forth, Feng Wuchen had no shortage of.
Just because Feng Wuchen showed no interest, it didnât mean the treasures on the second floor were not in demand.
The second floor was full of valuable treasures, Third Rank and Fourth Rank Elixirs, mid-grade and high-grade artifacts, various magical weapons and tools, and many heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as medicinal ingredients and Artifact Refining materials, and so on.
âThere are, but this servant girl doesnât know what kind of treasure the two of you are looking for,â the maid said with a wry smile, looking somewhat troubled.
âTreasures that aid the cultivation of Tianyuan Realm,â Feng Wuchen said directly.
âTreasures that enhance the Tianyuan Realmâs cultivation?â The maid was slightly shocked, her expression somewhat dazed.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Feng Wuchen in astonishment. Not to mention whether Feng Wuchen could afford them, could he even use them? The maid didnât believe that someone as young as Feng Wuchen had already stepped into the ranks of the Tianyuan Realm.
After a moment of shock, the maid quickly said, âThere are, but it would have to go through the auctionâs Honored Elder Delegates. I canât decide on my own.â
She was just a mere servant girl, after all, with no authority to determine the disposition of the auctionâs precious treasures.
The maid then said, âIn three days there will be an auction. Among the treasures being auctioned, there is one called the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus that helps enhance the Tianyuan Realmâs cultivation. Jiuzhouâs major forces all wish to obtain it. If the two of you are interested, come to the auction in three days.â
âEarth Heart Sacred Lotus?â Feng Wuchenâs eyes revealed a tinge of fervor, utterly thrilled.
The maid nodded and smiled, âYes, there will also be many other extremely precious treasures appearing at the auction in three days.â
âBrother Feng, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus is enough to help you break through one layer of cultivation. Coming here today was the right choice,â Ling Xiaoxiao said with a joyful smile.
âSeeing as the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, such a treasure, can be put up for auction, Jiuzhouâs auction house is deserving of its reputation. Such a treasure is even more precious than Fifth Grade Elixirs,â Feng Wuchen said with a smile, equally resolved on obtaining the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus.
The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus was a rare treasure nurtured by the heavens and earth, containing vast and pure energy, capable of helping Tianyuan Realm experts greatly enhance their cultivation. It was highly coveted by Tianyuan Realm powerhouses.
The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus was definitely in demand.
With the vast energy contained within the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, it could indeed help Feng Wuchen break through one layer of cultivation at the fastest speed possible.
âForget about the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, itâs not your turn to think about it. Jiuzhouâs treasures at the auction house are too numerous for you to count. Why donât you take a look at other things? Jiuzhouâs five major forces are all eyeing the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus. Do you think you have the capability to compete with them for it?â At this moment, an indifferent, cold sneer sounded.
The person who arrived was a young man with a handsome face, dressed in white brocade and carrying the air of a noble.
âYoung Master Jiang,â the maid greeted with respect.
The white-clothed man waved his hand, signaling for the maid to step back.
The young man in white was none other than Jiang Kui of Divine Pill Cityâs Jiang family. His cultivation was not weak, at the Eightfold of the Yuan Dan Realm.
This demonstrated the strong power of the Jiang family and its standing within Divine Pill City.
Jiang Kui was the white-clothed man who had been eyeing Ling Xiaoxiao before, slowly approaching with the demeanor of a gentleman.
Jiang Kui merely gave Feng Wuchen a cursory glance, his eyes filled with disdain, mostly focusing on Ling Xiaoxiao.
Sensing Jiang Kuiâs gaze, Ling Xiaoxiaoâs eyebrows furrowed slightly, seeing a hint of ill intent in Jiang Kuiâs eyes.
âI am Jiang Kui. May I inquire the name of the fairy?â Jiang Kui asked with a polite smile.
âBrother Feng, letâs go,â Ling Xiaoxiao said, not paying Jiang Kui any heed, not even sparing him a second glance.
How could Feng Wuchen fail to see Jiang Kuiâs intentions? Without even a glance, he turned and left with Ling Xiaoxiao, leaving a very embarrassed Jiang Kui behind.
Jiang Kuiâs brow furrowed slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes. As the young master of the Jiang family, when had he ever been so blatantly ignored? He considered himself handsome, and among the women he had met, none had ever disregarded him like this.
Ling Xiaoxiao was the first one.
âYoung Master, they didnât take you seriously at all. Can you really tolerate this?â the nearby guard whispered angrily.
âShut up!â Jiang Kui scolded in a low voice, his fierce glare at the guard made him hastily cover his mouth.
âYou wretched girl, once I get my hands on you, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!â Jiang Kui thought viciously, imagining various scenarios of âdecisive battlesâ with Ling Xiaoxiao in his mind.
With that thought, Jiang Kui, suppressing the anger in his heart, quickly said, âPlease wait a moment, both of you.â
âWhat is it?â Feng Wuchen asked indifferently, without a hint of emotion.
âThe auction will be crowded with people since all the seats have been reserved. If you donât mind, you can join me,â Jiang Kui hurriedly said with a smile.
Although the Jiuzhou auction event was massive, there were many powerhouses in Jiuzhou, and the auction was sure to attract numerous cultivators. The vast hall would definitely be packed with people.
All the seats and private rooms had been booked. If there were no seats available, Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao would have had to squeeze together with everyone else in the hall.
In such a crowded hall, how could Feng Wuchen bear to let Ling Xiaoxiao be in close contact with all sorts of burly men?
âThen thank you very much,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently.
âThree days from now, I will await your arrival,â Jiang Kui said with a smile, his heart filling with joy. Watching Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao turn to leave, a sinister smirk appeared on Jiang Kuiâs face.
âHmph! Iâll see how much longer you can be arrogant! You wretched girl, donât even think about escaping from the palm of my hand!â Jiang Kui thought coldly, his open hand slowly clenched into a fist.
âHmm? Why does that guy look so similar to the one in the portrait?â Not long after Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao had left, Jiang Kuiâs guard suddenly frowned, noticing Feng Wuchen bore a resemblance to the man in the portrait, although he wasnât sure.
After thinking for a moment, the guard shook his head and thought to himself, âIt canât be him. No matter how I look at him, he doesnât seem like someone capable of killing Beiming Kong. Besides, I canât discern his cultivation level. He probably isnât that skilled.â
âLetâs go, we need to prepare well,â Jiang Kui said with a cruelly mocking laugh.
After Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao had left, Jiang Kui also departed.
While people were still praising Ling Xiaoxiaoâs beauty and envying Feng Wuchen, several new messages suddenly stirred the crowd in the auction hall into a commotion.
âThe man from the portrait has killed again, over thirty-six of He Moâs strong following were slain!â
âHe Mo was seriously injured, and the man from the portrait killed someone in the Second Layer of the Tianyuan Realm with a single palm strike!â
As the news spread throughout the auction, the entire hall erupted into a state of terrified panic, leaving everyone shaking with fear.
âWasnât that young man who just left the one from the portrait?â
âYes, thatâs right, it was him! He looks very much like itâit must be him!â
âThinking about it, he really does resemble him! Has that kid gone mad? After killing so many of Shen Dan Masterâs men, he still dares to come to the auction? Doesnât he know that Shen Dan Master is an Honored Elder Delegate of the auction?â
âWe must hurry! Divine Pill City is about to face a huge crisis!â
The more they talked, the more panicked everyone became, each person hastily leaving the place in alarm.
If Jiang Kui had not left by then, he probably would have been scared to death by his own audacious thoughts.
Dare to covet Feng Wuchenâs woman? Jiang Kui was clearly courting death.
Meanwhile, the news had also reached Moyanâs ears in the main city.
The severely wounded He Tianxiong was carried back to the main city, barely clinging to life.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Dan Master Lei Ting was furious.
âThis is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!â Moyan roared with extreme fury, âHow dare Feng Wuchen be so audacious to murder our Divine Pill Cityâs people!â
Seeing his favored disciple barely alive, Moyanâs rage grew even more terrifying.
âShen Dan Master, Feng Wuchen is far too audacious! We must eliminate him!â a high-ranking official said angrily.
âFeng Wuchen doesnât take Shen Dan Master into account at all! To have killed so many of our men and hurt Tianxiong, we absolutely cannot spare him!â another person exclaimed in anger.
Moyan said bitterly, âImmediately blockade Divine Pill City and launch a citywide manhunt for Feng Wuchen! Spare no expense to kill him!â
âReporting to Shen Dan Master, Feng⊠Feng Wuchen has just gone to the auction house!â At that moment, a guard rushed into the grand hall with the update.
âDamn it! He has the audacity to attend the auction after committing a murder! This little beast is too pretentious!â One of the elders exploded in rage, slamming the table so hard with his terrifying strength that it turned to dust.
Moyanâs old face became utterly contorted, his skin twitching violently. Feng Wuchenâs actions not only ignored him, but they outright denied his existence as a Shen Dan Master.
By killing many of Divine Pill Cityâs powerhouses and casually heading to an auction afterward, Feng Wuchenâs boldness was tantamount to blatant provocation in Moyanâs view, stirring the Tigerâs fur.
âWhat are you all standing around for? Go after Feng Wuchen now! Do you want to let him get away?â The Shen Dan Master roared furiously, bellowing at everyone in the grand hall.
A fearsome murderous aura enveloped the grand hall, and the overwhelming rage from the Shen Dan Master sent everyone scurrying out of the hall.
No one could withstand the towering fury of the Shen Dan Master.
