The Furious Feng Xiang
"Oh?
So you're Zi Xia, little girl!
I owe you a favor this time. Next time, if you need anything, feel free to come to the Arcane Guild to find me. I will do my best to help you. "
In the opposite room, Grandmaster Yanhuo's tone became much gentler after he heard Huangfu Zixia's words. After all, Huangfu Zixia was a member of the imperial family, and she was also the disciple of Elder Qin Yu, one of the nine great elders of the Arcane Guild's headquarters. Her status was extremely noble.
Grandmaster Yan Huo wasn't a blindly arrogant person. Since Huangfu Zi Xia was giving him face, he naturally wouldn't neglect it.
A smile immediately appeared on Huangfu Zixia's pretty face. She knew very well that although Grandmaster Yan Huo's Spiritual Energy wasn't very strong, his father's position in the Arcane Guild was extremely high. He was the son of Elder Liu Li, who was ranked second among the Nine Great Elders in the guild.
Although Huangfu Zi Xia's teacher, Grandmaster Qin Yu, was one of the nine elders, he was only ranked eighth. His status and strength were much lower than Elder Liu Li's. This was also the reason why Huangfu Zi Xia was afraid of Grandmaster Yan Huo.
After all, although the Imperial Capital's Arcane Guild couldn't compare to the Imperial Family and the Blue Dragon Hall, its influence was extremely great. Moreover, Arcanists were able to refine Origin Crystals and Origin Formations that some cultivators liked, so Arcanists had many powerful friends behind them.
If the Arcane Guild were to gather those experts and friends, it would be enough to shake the power of the Imperial Family in the Imperial Capital. This was also why the Arcane Guild's status in the Imperial Capital was so high that even the Imperial Family did not dare to offend the Arcane Guild.
From the whispers around him, Zhuowen naturally knew about Master Yanhuo's background. He didn't expect Master Yanhuo to be the son of Elder Liuli, who was ranked second among the nine great elders of the Arcane Guild. He was also a Perfect Grade Four Arcanist and held an extremely high position in the Arcane Guild.
The old man on the high platform was originally hoping that someone would bid and raise the price a little. Now that he saw that Grandmaster Yan Huo had actually revealed his identity, the old man's eyes were immediately filled with disappointment.
He knew that since Grandmaster Yanhuo had revealed his identity, it meant that he was determined to obtain the Greater Infinite Sword Formation. As for the others present, it was unlikely that they would be able to compete with Grandmaster Yanhuo.
"Thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones. Although I didn't reach my target, it's still not bad."
The old man could only console himself like this. He was just about to finalize the Ultimate Sword Formation when a clear and indifferent voice suddenly sounded out from above.
"Thirty-six thousand spirit stones!"
The moment this voice rang out, everyone on the viewing platform fell into silence. They were all too familiar with this voice. Wasn't this the young man who had raised the price with Feng Xiang at the beginning?!
Originally, Grandmaster Yanhuo had revealed his identity in order to prevent others from competing with him. However, even though this young man knew this, he still continued to bid. It was obvious that he did not place Grandmaster Yanhuo in his eyes.
There were three people in the room across from him. All three of them were dressed in long gray robes, and there were four stars embroidered on their chests. Clearly, all three of them were rank four Arcana Masters.
The person in the middle was about forty years old. He had a protruding forehead and a white beard at his temples. When his eyes opened and closed, there was always a trace of light. This person was Grandmaster Yanhuo.
Beside Grandmaster Yan Huo were two old men in their seventies. These two old men stood quietly behind Grandmaster Yan Huo. They had the attitude of obeying orders at any time. They should be Grandmaster Yan Huo's subordinates.
Crack!
Grandmaster Yan Huo's hands clenched, and the armrests beside his hands were instantly crushed. His eyes narrowed, containing a bone-chilling coldness. Through the window of the room, he coldly stared at the room across from him.
"Li Hu!
Go and find out who is bidding with me in the room across from us! "Grandmaster Yan Huo coldly snorted.
"Yes!
This subordinate will go and find out. "The old man on Grandmaster Yan Huo's left nodded respectfully, then silently left the room.
"Li Long!
How many spirit stones do we have left? "Grandmaster Yan Huo said to the old man on his right.
"This time, we only brought forty thousand spirit stones," Li Long said in a low voice.
"Hmph!
I'd like to see who it is.
He actually dares to challenge me. In the imperial city, there aren't many people who dare to provoke me, Yan Huo! "As Grandmaster Yan Huo spoke, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Forty thousand spirit stones!
I'll give you one last chance. Give up immediately. Otherwise, next year today will be the anniversary of your death. "
Grandmaster Yan Huo's loud voice rang out once again. His tone faintly revealed a trace of hostility and coldness.
"Zhuowen!
Don't compete with Grandmaster Yan Huo. His position in the Arcane Guild isn't low. If you bid with him, you'll lose more than you gain. "
In the room, Grandmaster Kuya hurriedly spoke up. There was a trace of deep worry on his face. He also didn't expect that Zhuowen would actually dare to compete with Grandmaster Yan Huo. At the same time, he was also shocked by Zhuowen's wealth. He was actually able to bid thirty-six thousand spirit stones.
"That's right!
Grandmaster Yan Huo's background is very strong. Zhuowen, you'll lose more than you gain by provoking him. Give up the bid! "Grandmaster Kuraki also advised.
As for Feng Xiang and Jing Yun, they stood to the side and sneered again and again. Their faces were filled with gloating expressions. As for Huangfu Zi Xia, her expression was still cold, but her gaze was on Zhuo Wen.
The young man in front of her had really exceeded her expectations. He clearly didn't look like a genius from the Imperial Capital, but he actually had such a rich background. Moreover, the terrifying pressure he released at the entrance of the Appraiser Hall was still deeply etched in Huangfu Zixia's memory.
In addition, Zhuowen clearly knew about Grandmaster Yan Huo's background, yet he still dared to bid. Moreover, he didn't seem to be worried at all. In her eyes, Zhuowen became even more mysterious.
"Grandmaster Kuya, Old Man Kuraki, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry!"
Zhuowen smiled faintly. Soon after, he opened his mouth again and said in a clear voice, "Forty-one thousand spirit stones!"
Crack!
In the opposite booth, Grandmaster Yanhuo smashed the chair he was sitting on. He said each word coldly, "Good job. He actually dares to snatch something from me, Yanhuo. Is he tired of living?"
"Grandmaster Yan Huo!
Do you want me to help you get rid of this person? "Li Long's sinister voice sounded from behind.
"No need. The Appraiser Hall doesn't allow fighting!
We can't break the rules. Let's find out the identity of the person who made the bid first. Once he leaves the Appraiser Hall, the Infinite Sword Formation will still fall into our hands. Of course, that fellow will pay the price in blood. "
At this point, Grandmaster Yan Huo's gaze became much colder and crueler.
The surrounding atmosphere became extremely heavy. The old man on the high platform had a smile on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum. The gratitude he felt for Zhuowen was like a torrential river.
The Infinite Sword Formation was auctioned off for forty-one thousand spirit stones. He had achieved his goal!
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
The old man laughed mischievously. His gaze landed on Grandmaster Yan Huo's room and he raised his voice. He was now looking forward to Grandmaster Yan Huo raising the price again.
However, after waiting for a long time, Grandmaster Yan Huo still remained silent. Everyone knew that Grandmaster Yan Huo probably only had forty thousand spirit stones on him.
A trace of disappointment appeared on the old man's face. He waved his sleeves and the Infinite Sword Formation in the sky instantly turned into rays of sword light. The old man had unknowingly dragged a huge metal box in his hand. Numerous longswords were all placed inside the metal box. Soon after, the metal box slowly closed.
"Since no one wants to bid, then the Infinite Sword Formation will belong to this customer." The old man was full of smiles as he pointed at Zhuowen's room.
"Zhuowen!
You … You have offended Grandmaster Yan Huo this time. I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. "Grandmaster Kuraki and Grandmaster Kuya both sighed at the same time.
Both of them were arcanists from the Arcane Guild. They were very clear about Grandmaster Yan Huo's background. Zhuowen had offended someone he shouldn't have.
However, Zhuowen wasn't afraid at all. He definitely had to get the Infinite Sword Formation. Because he had the Infinite Sword Intent, he had the possibility of repairing the Infinite Sword Formation.
Once the Infinite Sword Formation was repaired, it would be a Grade Five Origin Formation. Its power would probably become extremely terrifying. When that time came, Zhuowen would be able to kill a Seven-wheel Ultimate Emperor. This thing would be of great help to him in the Battle of the Nine Counties. He wouldn't give it up.
As for Grandmaster Yan Huo, Zhuowen didn't believe that this guy would privately use the Arcane Guild's power to deal with him. After all, Grandmaster Yan Huo didn't have the final say in the Arcane Guild.
Moreover, Zhuowen was a Grade Four Arcanist. His talent and mental strength were both top-notch. Zhuowen believed that as long as he registered as a Grade Four Arcanist in the Arcane Guild, Grandmaster Yan Huo wouldn't dare to deal with him openly. As for secretly dealing with him, Zhuowen wasn't afraid at all.
"What a reckless little bastard. You're dead for offending Grandmaster Yan Huo. Hehe, no one can save you."
Jing Yun, who was standing beside Feng Xiang, suddenly sneered at Zhuowen. She stared at Zhuowen as if she was looking at a dead man.
"Shut your dog mouth. If you continue to talk, don't blame me for being impolite."
Jing Yun had insulted Zhuowen time and time again. This had already made Zhuowen extremely unhappy. At this moment, he turned his head and stared coldly at Jing Yun.
Jing Yun was startled by Zhuowen's words. Although she was afraid of Zhuowen's strength, when she thought of Feng Xiang beside her, her courage rose.
"Who do you think you are?
How dare you ask me to shut up. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you're stronger than me?
Let me tell you, Brother Feng can crush you to death with one finger. Kneel down and apologize immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of this room, "Jing Yun said coldly.
"Crush me to death with one finger?
Just based on the trash beside you? "
Slowly turning around, Zhuowen glanced coldly at Jing Yun. Soon after, his gaze landed on Feng Xiang beside her and he sneered without any trace of politeness.
Feng Xiang, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly froze. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared coldly at Zhuowen and said, "Who did you just call trash?
I dare you to say it again. "
"Oh!
So you're saying that you admit that you're trash? "Zhuowen said with a smirk.
