Chapter 359 - 359 359 Panic

Chapter 359: Chapter 359 Panic Chapter 359: Chapter 359 Panic With Nie Fengyun’s arrival, the powerhouses at the auction all promptly emerged, their formidable and fearsome auras filling the entire hall.

Tens of Tianyuan Realm guards and more than a dozen Heavenly Human Realm experts made a formidable lineup.

Nie Fengyun carefully examined Feng Wuchen and was surprised to find that he couldn’t see through the depths of Feng Wuchen’s cultivation.

Feng Wuchen’s expression was too calm, always giving off a feeling of absolute supremacy.

An overbearing aura exuded from Feng Wuchen, which made Nie Fengyun feel that Feng Wuchen came from no ordinary background.

“This brat is deeply hidden; even with my cultivation, I can’t see through him,” Nie Fengyun thought to himself, his age-worn face becoming even more solemn.

“You just need to answer whether you’ll sell to me or to Young Master Yun,” Feng Wuchen responded coldly.

Nie Fengyun’s aged face sank once again, his anger intensifying. As the Second Elder of the auction, when had he ever been subjected to such humiliation?

Moreover, his opponent was a brat not yet twenty, arrogant enough to disregard the auction. As the Second Elder, how could Nie Fengyun tolerate this?

However, Nie Fengyun was also able to control his rage.

“Since you were here first, the Blood Jade Bodhi naturally goes to you. Pay 700 billion Gold Coins, and you can take the Blood Jade Bodhi away anytime,” Nie Fengyun said gravely.

Wu Yu Mountain’s face changed, wanting to say something, but he swallowed his words back down his throat.

Knowing his own status, and seeing as Nie Fengyun had definitely decided to sell the Blood Jade Bodhi to Feng Wuchen, Wu Yu Mountain dared not voice any objections.

Nie Fengyun glanced at the ground and then said, “However, you smashed up the auction and destroyed many treasures; you’ll have to buy them all!”

“Brat, you’ll have to pay for everything you smashed! These treasures that you’ve ruined will cost at least 1,000 billion Gold Coins! That’s only a preliminary estimate,” Wu Yu Mountain sneered with mockery.

“1,000 billion?” Liu Qingyang’s face turned pale. With the Blood Jade Bodhi’s 700 billion, wouldn’t that be 1,700 billion Gold Coins?

The astronomical sum frightened everyone.

“Paying for it is not an issue! But I came here to buy, not to be provoked. My rage hasn’t been vented yet! The things I smashed, I’ll pay for,” Feng Wuchen said icily.

“Qingyang! Continue smashing for me! Smash as much as you owe! Even if we tear down the whole auction, I will compensate,” Feng Wuchen ordered coldly.

Domineering! Domineering to the skies!

Pay for as much as you smash! How domineering these words were!

“I’m starting to admire this kid! 1,700 billion Gold Coins, and he doesn’t blink an eye!”

“He’s still smashing! If this kid can’t pay up, who knows how many times he’d die.”

The cultivators in the auction hall were all stiff, their eyes unblinkingly watching the domineering Feng Wuchen.

“You!” Hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, Nie Fengyun first paused, then his aged face contorted, his wrinkled skin twitching.

Liu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, “Alright! Qingqing! Continue smashing!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing resumed their frenzied destruction, palm after palm striking out, destroying swathes of shelves in the vast auction hall once more.

As he watched precious treasures being destroyed one after another, Nie Fengyun felt as if his heart was bleeding!

“Too arrogant! Second Elder! Kill them!” Wu Yu Mountain was furious.

“Ignorant of death!” Nie Fengyun was enraged. It was bad enough that Feng Wuchen disregarded the auction, but now he was continuing to wreak havoc, a blatant insult to the auction itself!

Does having money make you extraordinary?

Does having money allow you to do as you please?

Does having money let you disdain everything?

Young man, don’t be too arrogant. Let me tell you, having money does indeed allow you to do as you please, to disdain everything—if you don’t believe me, give me a million, and I’ll run with it on my shoulders!

A terrifying power burst forth from within Nie Fengyun, the air waves horrifying, his presence overwhelming!

“Peng!”

Sensing that Nie Fengyun was about to make his move, Feng Wuchen’s thoughts shifted, and a wisp of azure flame ignited in the palm of his hand. He then made a grabbing motion at Nie Fengyun from across the air, and with another thought, he instantly controlled the fire poison within Nie Fengyun’s body.

In an instant, just as Nie Fengyun was about to strike, he felt the fire poison within his body violently erupting. The next second, thick black smoke began pouring from his body.

“Aah!”

As the black smoke appeared, Nie Fengyun’s body was engulfed in raging flames, his fire poison outbreak causing him to scream in agony.

The sudden turn of events scared Wu Yu Mountain into retreating in horror, along with everyone else.

“The Second Elder’s fire poison has flared up!” Wu Yu Mountain paled with shock, not daring to approach.

The strong ones at the auction all retreated in fright, no one having expected Nie Fengyun’s fire poison to suddenly erupt.

Fearsome flames enveloped the entire hall, the temperature soaring rapidly as smoke blanketed the hall.

Those unaware thought a fire had broken out at the auction.

“Qingyang! Keep smashing for me!” Feng Wuchen shouted fiercely.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Liu Qingyang continued his rampage, destroying every treasure indiscriminately, showing a genuine intention of tearing down the auction house.

“Swoosh!”

Just then, a figure appeared with a burst of incredibly powerful energy, forcibly suppressing Nie Fengyun’s horrific fire poison and a gust of wind instantly swept away the thick smoke from the hall.

“Family Head!” Wu Yu Mountain rejoiced in his heart.

The enormous commotion, along with the terrifying fire poison, had alarmed the auction’s Family Head!

The auction’s Family Head, Bai Lihen, wore a gray robe, his hair and beard all white, and his face covered with wrinkles.

From the dreadful aura he emitted, it was obvious that the auction’s Family Head had reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Human Realm, with half a step already into the Tianji Realm.

“The Second Elder’s fire poison is completely different from before; what’s going on?” The Family Head frowned deeply, evidently unable to suppress the horrific fire poison with his power.

“Give me your power!” The Family Head immediately bellowed.

Several Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses from the auction swiftly channeled their True Yuan into the Family Head’s body.

After nearly ten minutes, they finally managed to forcibly suppress Nie Fengyun’s fire poison back into his body.

Suffering for ten minutes, Nie Fengyun was utterly exhausted, his old face pale and his appearance extremely wretched.

However, even in his depleted state, Nie Fengyun’s rage persisted, as he glared fiercely at Feng Wuchen and said with great difficulty, “We absolutely cannot let that bastard go!”

“May I know who this young brother might be?” Bai Lihen asked indifferently, his aged eyes sizing up Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen glanced at Bai Lihen and said indifferently, “Wait until the auction’s rules are restored to normal, then you can ask where I come from! The current state of the auction is too disappointing!”

“Family Head, they have smashed so many treasures; they must compensate us! We cannot let them off!” Wu Yu Mountain exclaimed, both shocked and enraged.

Feng Wuchen took out a red Jade Pendant and immediately tossed it to Bai Lihen, saying coldly, “I don’t know if this thing can be of any use at the auction!”

“Zhang Family Jade Token!” Upon catching the Jade Pendant, Bai Lihen’s face instantly transformed, his eyes filled with terror as he looked towards Feng Wuchen, his hand holding the token trembling.

Feng Wuchen actually possessed the Zhang Family Jade Token!

“Who in the world is he? The Zhang Family Jade Token represents the Zhang Family Head! How could the token be with him?” Bai Lihen’s mind was engulfed by a tumultuous wave.

The exhausted Nie Fengyun had also seen the red token in Bai Lihen’s hand, and his pale old face instantly filled with terror, his body shaking all over.

The depleted Nie Fengyun, drawing strength from an unknown source, scrambled up in utter panic.

“Family Head, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing the terror on Bai Lihen’s aged face, Wu Yu Mountain asked in a fluster.

“Slap!”

Before Wu Yu Mountain had finished speaking, Nie Fengyun slapped him fiercely, sending Wu Yu Mountain flying several meters, vomiting blood, with two of his front teeth knocked out.

“Second…Second Elder, what…what are you doing?” Wu Yu Mountain asked, his face filled with fear and innocence, at a loss.

“You worthless scoundrel!” Nie Fengyun raged, his pale old face twisting fiercely, as if he would tear Wu Yu Mountain apart out of sheer hatred.

In the auction hall, the many spectators were utterly confused.

No one knew what was going on.

What exactly had Feng Wuchen given to Bai Lihen that caused Nie Fengyun such anger and to suddenly slap Wu Yu Mountain?

“What is that red Jade Pendant?”

“What in the world is happening? The Family Head seems very frightened.”

“Could it be that this young man has a terrifying background?”

The spectators whispered among themselves, curious and puzzled, yet astonished.

It took a long while for Bai Lihen and Nie Fengyun to recover from their shock. Bai Lihen respectfully returned the red Jade Token to Feng Wuchen, and said with a cupped fist, “This incident is the fault of our auction. I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation.”

“The Zhang Family’s Jade Token is truly dreadful!” Liu Qingyang was extremely shocked. It was merely a Jade Pendant, but it instantly turned the situation on its head.

Miao Qingqing was also stunned, finding it almost unbelievable.

The Zhang Family’s fearsome status in the Wuji Domain far exceeded Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing’s imaginations.

Once Bai Lihen had spoken, he cast his gaze towards the frightened and innocent Wu Yu Mountain, and with a withered palm, he gathered a terrifying power in the center of his hand.

“Family Head! I admit my mistake! Please don’t kill me, Family Head!” Wu Yu Mountain saw that something was terribly wrong and pleaded for mercy on his knees, terrified.

Bai Lihen was ruthless. With terrifying power, he crushed Wu Yu Mountain to death from a distance.

“Hiss…”

The onlookers gasped in fright, a chill going down their spines.

What exactly was Feng Wuchen’s background? A red Jade Pendant made Bai Lihen so frightened that he did not hesitate to kill Wu Yu Mountain!

“The auction did not intend to offend. I hope you will not take offense, young master. Please accept the Blood Jade Bodhi as an apology,” Bai Lihen said respectfully, handing over the treasured box to Feng Wuchen.

“I was blind to your greatness, I beg for the young master’s forgiveness!” Nie Fengyun spoke out in alarm.

“Then I won’t be polite!” Feng Wuchen said in an indifferent tone, and then accepted the Blood Jade Bodhi.

Feng Wuchen said no more, and turned to leave, with Ling Xiaoxiao and her two companions following behind.

It was only after Feng Wuchen and his companions had left that the terror on Bai Lihen’s aged face gradually disappeared, but his face was still beaded with sweat.

Nie Fengyun, likewise, let out a breath of relief as if he had been bearing an enormous burden, the Zhang Family’s Jade Token having nearly scared him to death.

The auction was dead silent, with everyone’s minds filled with questions, yet also too afraid to ask.

What kind of background did Feng Wuchen have that could instill such fear in two titans of the auction?

No one dared to imagine.
