The booming voice had just ceased when two screams suddenly pierced the air.
Zhu Fei looked up and was shocked to find that Duan Fengtai’s and Elder Wang’s right arms had sohow disappeared without trace.
At this mont, their previous arrogance had vanished, and they were frantically bowing towards a certain void, their voices filled with dread, "Please, Holy Artifact, forgive us. We were indeed at fault for breaking the rules of Wantong Comrce. We guarantee that such an incident will not happen again!"
"Hmph, I hope so. Get lost!"
Despite Duan Fengtai’s and Elder Wang’s submission, the other party showed no inclination to spare their feelings. After a cold snort, they were ordered to scram.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will leave at once, right now!"
Contrary to Zhu Fei’s expectations, after hearing the unceremonious words of the other party, not only did Duan Fengtai and Elder Wang not show the slightest dissatisfaction or resentnt, they even seed relieved, as if they had been granted a great pardon.
This sent a chill down Zhu Fei’s spine.
It was imaginable that an existence capable of telling a Great Success Earth Immortal to "scram", and making them dare not to cause any further trouble, was definitely not an ordinary character.
Considering that Elder Wang had referred to the other as a Holy Artifact, Zhu Fei imdiately thought of a rumor.
It was said that when a Dao Artifact breaks through the high-grade threshold and enters the realm of top-grade, so would call it a Holy Artifact.
Not only can such a Holy Artifact fully exert its power, moving independently and cultivating on its own, but it also possesses a certain ability to suppress fortune.
Depending on the function of the Dao Artifact, simply put, even the weakest top-grade Dao Artifact would possess at least the strength of the middle stage of Great Success on its own.
This level of strength was not far from that of Long Ba at present.
After all, Long Ba, after being sealed for many years, now possessed only the cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of Great Success.
In fact, when a cultivator’s cultivation reaches the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, there is an extrely huge gap between each minor level.
Such a gap can even be greater than the differences between the major realms of the past.
Otherwise, Long Ba would not have been able to easily handle Nangong Qiuyue and the other two rely with the peak cultivation of the middle stage of Great Success.
Moreover, looking at this top-grade Dao Artifact, which was hiding in the dark, its true strength is probably not far off from Long Ba’s.
Therefore, it was no wonder Elder Wang and Duan Fengtai reacted the way they did upon witnessing the mysterious being’s capabilities.
As Elder Wang and Duan Fengtai beat their hasty retreat, ng Qin, standing beside Zhu Fei, turned with a smile and said:
"Daoist Zhu Fei, the one just now is the Holy Artifact assigned by Wantong Comrce to oversee this place. You can feel at ease, as long as you remain within the jurisdiction of Wantong Comrce, no one will dare to trouble you again.
By the way, if Daoist Zhu Fei has nothing else to do for now, I shall take my leave. I will notify you again when the auction starts."
With that, ng Qin smiled and bowed to Zhu Fei once more before she turned to leave.
Watching ng Qin’s departing figure, Zhu Fei shook his head and did not dwell on the matter any further. He pushed open the door to his quarters and entered.
Now that his whereabouts had inadvertently been revealed to Elder Wang and Duan Fengtai, Zhu Fei acknowledged that he would likely face their retaliation after the auction.
Fortunately, it seed that the two were coveting his Void Light Wheel and, at least for the ti being, they were not likely to disclose his whereabouts to others.
With this thought, a cold smile crossed Zhu Fei’s face.
If the two really desired his item that much, then he would give them a ’gift’ at the opportune ti, likely to provide an unexpected surprise.
Thereupon, Zhu Fei didn’t waste any ti and started cultivating in the lotus position.
...
Ti swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the early hours of the next day.
When ng Qin knocked on Zhu Fei’s door and then led him to an extrely luxurious private box, Zhu Fei was surprised to find that Ouyang Hai was also in the room.
"Hehe, Brother Zhu, I have heard everything from ng Qin and I am truly sorry. It was all due to my oversight in not arranging things properly for you. I hope Brother Zhu can forgive ," Ouyang Hai said as he greeted Zhu Fei with hands clasped, his tone betraying a hint of genuine remorse.
Sensing Ouyang Hai’s sincerity, Zhu Fei’s impression of him improved slightly.
In response, he also clasped his hands with a smile, "Brother Ouyang needn’t worry about it. This matter doesn’t really involve you; it’s an issue between myself and Sky Sea Pavilion. You don’t have to concern yourself with it."
Ouyang Hai seed to breathe a sigh of relief at Zhu Fei’s words and felt a stronger sense of fondness towards him.
After a mont of thought, he took out a Jade Scroll from his person and handed it to Zhu Fei with a smile, "Brother Zhu, this Jade Scroll contains information about all the items in the first half of the auction. With my current authority, this is the best I can do for you.
However, rest assured, if you encounter any difficulties during the auction, feel free to seek out. As long as it’s not too far beyond my authority, I won’t hesitate to help."
Ouyang Hai’s words were heartfelt.
Indeed, if Zhu Fei had decided to strictly hold him accountable, Ouyang Hai indeed had so inescapable responsibilities for the previous events.
Now as a manager of Wantong Comrce, he also had his own principles that he could not overstep, one of which was not to interfere arbitrarily in disputes between cultivators.
So after careful consideration, Ouyang Hai decided to temporarily compensate Zhu Fei in this manner.
Zhu Fei was no fool. He understood Ouyang Hai’s predicant and without standing on ceremony, he accepted the Jade Scroll with a light smile, "In that case, I won’t be polite, and thank you for your kindness, Brother Ouyang."
With that, Zhu Fei also clasped his hands toward Ouyang Hai in a gesture of thanks.
"Hehe, not at all, you’re too polite, Brother Zhu," Ouyang Hai waved his hands in dismissal. "By the way, if you don’t have any other matters now, I will take my leave. Once the auction is completely over, if you need anything, you can always co to , and I will certainly do my best to help."
Although Ouyang Hai didn’t explicitly state it, the astute Zhu Fei already understood that Ouyang Hai was willing to help him leave Wantong City safely.
It wasn’t easy for Ouyang Hai to offer so much, considering the relationship between him and Zhu Fei at the current stage.
As he watched Ouyang Hai and ng Qin depart, Zhu Fei collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the Jade Scroll in his hand.
However, Zhu Fei had only glanced at it for a mont when his expression suddenly changed.
