The sky was barely brightening, with clouds gathering above Luoxian City. Fine rain dripped silently from the eaves, splashing and scattering in all directions.
The misty rain enveloped the entire world in a hazy white fog, as if encasing the entire realm.
However, this did not stop the crowd from heading to the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House.
At this mont, before the grand entrance of the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House, more than five million people had already gathered. Of course, this was not the final count, as people continued to arrive from all over the Immortal Emperor Star.
The crowd grew larger. Amidst the discussions, a domineering voice suddenly echoed.
"The Sect Master of the White Jade Immortal Pavilion, Jiang Xuedao, arrives. All idle persons, please make way."
"Oh my!"
Soone in the crowd exclaid, "No way, even Immortal Venerable Emperor Jiang has co. It looks like we don’t stand a chance."
"Hmph."
An elder snorted, "So what if Emperor Jiang has co? Although he is an Immortal Venerable, don’t forget, this is an auction. Even the Immortal Venerable must compete fairly with us."
"Heh heh."
Soone chuckled, "For the Double-winged Demon Tiger that can speak, it seems even if the Immortal Venerable bids, as long as we have enough Immortal Jade, we can’t show him any special favor."
Just then, another commanding voice descended from the sky.
"The Sect Master of the Yiluan Immortal Sect, Lin Xiaoyun, Emperor Lin arrives. Everyone, move aside."
"Damn."
Another voice among the crowd grumbled, "Is Emperor Lin that impressive? Why do we have to move aside?"
"Shh."
Soone else whispered, "Daoist, please mind your words. Can’t you see a path has already been cleared? To avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s best if we step aside."
Hearing this, the person reluctantly stepped aside.
The Sect Master of the White Jade Immortal Pavilion, Jiang Xuedao, saw Lin Xiaoyun from afar. Smiling, he approached and cupped his hands in greeting, "I didn’t expect Brother Lin to co as well."
"Hmph!"
Lin Youyun scoffed, "Brother Jiang, it seems your news is quite well-inford. You’re here to bid on the Double-winged Demon Tiger too. You better keep your eyes peeled later."
After saying that, Lin Youyun clasped his hands behind his back and stopped speaking.
Jiang Xuedao’s face turned as red as a beet, thoroughly embarrassed.
Fortunately, at that mont, an announcent ca that Sect Master Ji Chan of the Purple Gold Palace had arrived.
Jiang Xuedao smiled faintly and went to greet him.
While Jiang Xuedao and Ji Chan were exchanging pleasantries, a thunderous shout ca from the distance.
"Luoxian City Lord Yun Jiuge arrives. Why are you not all kneeling to welco him?"
Instantly, the crowd beca agitated.
"Arrogant!"
"Yun Jiuge, although you are also an Immortal Venerable, what right do you have to make us kneel?"
Yun Jiuge’s attendants roared angrily.
"Insulting an Immortal Venerable, death!"
Two figures imdiately flew out from Yun Jiuge’s side, capturing the person who had spoken and bringing them before Yun Jiuge.
"Lord City Lord, we have brought the person who insulted you. Please give your orders."
Yun Jiuge, hands clasped behind his back, with a cold and disdainful look, said, "Kill him."
"You dare!"
An elder jumped out from the crowd.
"Yun Jiuge, you demand that everyone kneels to you. What if none of us kneel, will you kill us all?"
Yun Jiuge calmly replied, "Naturally."
"Hehe!"
The elder sneered, "Not only are Emperor Lin from the Yiluan Immortal Sect, Emperor Jiang from the White Jade Immortal Pavilion, and Emperor Ji from the Purple Gold Palace present, do you expect them to kneel to you as well?"
"Brother Yun, I think you should let it go."
Lin Youyun’s voice echoed in Yun Jiuge’s ears.
Jiang Xuedao also stepped forward.
"Brother Yun, we’re all here to bid on the Double-winged Demon Tiger. There’s no need to make a fuss, release that Daoist."
Ji Chan added, "Brother Yun, it’s not necessary to be so serious. Even when Emperor Yan was alive, wherever he went, he never demanded people kneel for him. Let’s not insist on it."
Yun Jiuge suddenly shouted angrily, "Ji Chan, don’t you dare ntion Yan Rufeng in front of , or I’ll deal with you too today."
"Hahaha!"
A wild laugh echoed from the sky.
"What’s making Brother Yun so furious upon arriving in Luoxian City?"
Yun Jiuge looked up, his expression shifting, smiled, "I wondered who dared to fly in my Luoxian City, turns out it’s Brother Lei."
The person was none other than Emperor Lei Ming of Wanjie Mountain.
"Ha ha..."
"Brother Yun, give face and spare that Daoist."
"Heh heh."
Yun Jiuge laughed, "Since Brother Lei has spoken, how can I not give you face, brother?"
"Release him!"
Yun Jiuge, at last, gave a fierce glance at that man.
"Hahaha!"
Lei Ming laughed heartily, "Brother Yun, that’s more like it. Let’s enjoy the auction. It’s been a while since we’ve seen such a grand event, let’s keep the peace."
Yun Jiuge cupped his hands, "Brother Lei, you’re absolutely right."
Lei Ming looked around and, upon seeing Jiang Xuedao, Lin Youyun, Ji Chan, and others at the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House entrance, smiled, "Brother Yun, most of the people have arrived. Everyone’s ti is precious. Let’s start the auction soon."
Yun Jiuge, aware of what he had done, rembered the lesson from Tang Xiaoke yesterday. Fearing to lose face, he hesitated, "Brother Lei, let’s wait a bit longer."
"Hehe!"
Lei Ming chuckled, "Brother Yun, there’s no need. Brother Xiao’s Canglan Immortal Sect is far from the Immortal Emperor Star. I doubt they can make it."
"As for the Heavenly Dao Sect, though they’re closer to Luoxian City, their Mountain Protection Immortal Beast can already speak. I don’t think they’ll send anyone to compete for the Double-winged Demon Tiger."
"Brother Yun, in your territory, if you can’t let Tang Xiaoke start the auction, we outsiders can hardly do so."
"Uh!"
Yun Jiuge’s face showed a trace of embarrassnt. Yet, to save face, he reluctantly sent soone to knock on the door.
Fortunately, the door opened, and Tang Xiaodie, with a gracious smile, walked out.
"Good morning, fellow Daoists."
"Thank you all for coming to the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House despite your busy schedules."
In a green dress, Tang Xiaodie, beautiful and sweet-voiced, captivated everyone’s attention.
"Miss Xiaodie, can the auction begin now?"
Tang Xiaodie smiled, "Fellow Daoists, please be patient. Hearing that five Immortal Venerables are gracing the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House, we must show respect. Please wait a mont while Tang Dazhang personally welcos the five Immortal Venerables. After that, we can enter in an orderly fashion."
"Tsk!"
The crowd jeered.
"Damn, Immortal Venerables have privilege everywhere."
"Oh, how I wish to beco an Immortal Venerable."
Soone lanted, "My cultivation is no less than an Immortal Venerable’s. Why can’t I be recognized as one?"
"Hehe!"
A series of cold laughs surrounded him.
"You should ask yourself..."
After Tang Xiaodie led Lei Ming, Lin Youyun, Jiang Xuedao, and Ji Chan, including Yun Jiuge, into the son World, the crowd was finally allowed to enter.
However, due to the sheer number of people, it took a full two hours for everyone to enter the auction venue.
