As they entered the mountain cave, the inside suddenly opened up wide.
The massive space was illuminated by countless torches, and the scene of the auction gradually beca clear.
At the center of the venue was a round stone platform, where the items for today’s auction would be placed one after the other.
Surrounding the stone platform were rows of stone benches.
The people on the stone benches were of various kinds.
There were mbers of the Demon Race, with beast heads and human bodies.
Everyone curiously observed these rarely seen demons from the depths of Changbai Mountain.
Apart from curious gazes, there were also looks of fear.
There were Shushan Daoists, wearing their Daoist robes, exuding an aura of righteousness.
The Extraordinary attending the auction cast eyes filled with reverence upon seeing the Shushan Daoists.
Shu Mountain is undoubtedly a top-tier sect in Xia Country.
There were disciples of the Talisman Sect, dressed plainly, with talismans at their waists.
Ever since the chaos at Changbai Mountain, with the death of the Talisman Sect’s second Sect Leader Han Hai and various Elders, the sect’s strength has sharply declined.
The Talisman Sect disciples have already lost their qualification for arrogance and luxury, becoming like ordinary sects, with only their na still carrying so intimidation.
The Talisman Sect has completely fallen to a second-tier sect.
The Talisman Sect is not the only second-tier sect.
There is Zhao Dayong, who venerates the Xie Qilin and founded the Qilin Sect.
There is a certain nightclub madam, who, with a group of alluring won, established the Hehuan Sect.
There are Poison Masters from the Miao Domain, who can control poisonous insects, jointly forming the Gu Sect.
...
With the intensification of Spiritual Energy Revival, Xia Country’s extraordinary circle has blossod into a flourishing scene of myriad flowers and the resonance of a hundred sects.
Apart from the various sects, there are also many loose cultivators at the auction.
These loose cultivators range from social figures to farrs, as well as flamboyant tycoons driving luxury cars and wearing brand-na watches.
Of great concern to all the sects and loose cultivators are a group of individuals dressed in black robes.
Their faces are hidden in shadow, and the occasional glint in their eyes reveals a deep and dangerous aura.
Many Extraordinary have deeply felt the complexity of the Extraordinary Circle.
The spiritual power of those in black robes is formidable, and their numbers and setup rival Shu Mountain.
These people are followers of the Seven Commandnts Association of Xia Country.
This is the first ti the Seven Commandnts Association has appeared in the public eye.
Another group entered, and everyone looked astonished.
That group wore white cherry blossom attire and spoke the East Sakura language.
They were foreigners!
The Extraordinary of Xia Country had thought that this auction was attended only by their countryn, but it turned out to be international!
Witches from the Seii Shrine, under the leadership of Asuka Seii, sat in a corner.
Ma Tao’s face showed a lecherous grin:
"Tsk tsk tsk, cherry blossom girls."
At this mont, a figure suddenly appeared beside Ma Tao and then sat down indifferently.
The followers of the Seven Commandnts Association were on high alert, pulling out their weapons and mobilizing spiritual power.
It was a young Daoist, lazy in deanor, as if he could never fully wake up.
This was Zhang Xiaoyi, the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, recognized as the strongest Extraordinary in Xia Country!
Zhang Xiaoyi yawned and said lazily:
"Those cherry blossom girls are not simple, it’s said that a Great Demon backs them. Fellow Daoist, it’s better not to stir up trouble."
Ma Tao gestured to the followers to calm down.
Ma Tao had crossed paths with Zhang Xiaoyi before, matching him evenly thanks to the magical artifact [Ten Sins].
Ma Tao felt a sense of mutual admiration for Zhang Xiaoyi.
Ma Tao grinned:
"Alright, alright, I won’t strive for national glory tonight."
Zhang Xiaoyi paused and couldn’t help but laugh:
"You are interesting."
Zhang Xiaoyi stretched lazily:
"Actually, the main event hasn’t arrived yet."
Ma Tao was taken aback:
"Main event?"
Zhang Xiaoyi nodded:
"Yes, the Security Administration asked to oversee the auction’s security.
The main event I’m referring to is who the Security Administration wants to keep a close eye on."
A commotion at the entrance drew Zhang Xiaoyi’s attention for a mont:
"They’ve arrived."
Ma Tao followed the gaze and saw the entrance.
At the entrance appeared two groups of people.
One group was in business suits, looking like society’s elite.
Leading them was a voluptuous one-eyed woman.
The other group was a party of foreigners, led by a heroic-looking foreign man with golden hair and dressed in a long white robe.
Ma Tao frowned:
"Detai Su Yutang, God Creation Group Jin?"
Zhang Xiaoyi glanced at Ma Tao with a faint smile:
"Detai Group and God Creation Group have clashed ti and again in Huaqi.
Hasn’t your Seven Commandnts Association also caused quite the stir in Huaqi?
I figured you’d know them."
Ma Tao looked at Zhang Xiaoyi in surprise:
"You actually know I’m with the Seven Commandnts Association?"
Zhang Xiaoyi eyed Ma Tao:
"I wasn’t sure before, but seeing your reaction now, it confirms it."
Ma Tao fell silent.
Though he was the Sect Leader of the Seven Commandnts Association, due to the association’s unique structure, he wasn’t all that familiar with its Chapter in Huaqi.
He only knew that the Fallen Angel had once manifested in Huaqi.
Ma Tao eyed Zhang Xiaoyi and suddenly understood:
"No wonder you ca to sit by . I thought it was just a friendly greeting among old friends, yet you’re here to keep an eye on .
Am I also a main event in your eyes, an important person to oversee?"
Zhang Xiaoyi reclined on the stone bench with his hands behind his head:
"Whether it’s the manifestation of the Fallen Angel or the astonishingly opulent Seven Commandnts Church in Zhige City, the world considers the Seven Commandnts Association to be the most powerful Extraordinary Influence.
How can I not watch you? I’m a bit worried you might cause so commotion."
With almost all Extraordinary sects in Xia Country gathered at this auction, Zhang Xiaoyi, whether as the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain or the Administrator for the Security Administration, was obliged to maintain order.
Ma Tao pursed his lips and said no more.
A man in a black robe with strange runes walked to the center platform, his voice deep and hoarse, as if carrying a power that echoed within the cave:
"Welco to the Desire Trading Auction. Today, we have many rare treasures, awaiting your discerning eyes!"
Instantly, countless spiritual powers surged in the venue, probing the host.
The host’s bizarre black robe blocked all spiritual probing, rendering everyone’s efforts ineffective.
Apparently, the host’s robe was itself a treasure.
Two peculiar figures carried an auction item covered in a red cloth.
The two figures were so tall they didn’t resemble humans. Even the large black robes they wore seed small on them.
In fact, the black robes couldn’t cover their feet.
Exposed feet revealed sharp claws to everyone.
After placing the item on the stone platform, they stood behind the host, acting as bodyguards.
All knew these mysterious figures were definitely not normal humans but humanoid monsters!
Zhang Xiaoyi murmured:
"Are these puppets or demons?"
Ma Tao furrowed his brows deeply.
Though others couldn’t feel the spiritual power of the odd figures, he couldn’t either.
However, Ma Tao could sense a strong Death Qi emanating from them.
These two figures were terrifying Undead Creatures!
The first auction item was unveiled by the host, and it was a potted plant.
The plant bore bright red fruits, resembling persimmons.
The host spoke loudly:
"The first appetizer, a treasure belonging to the spirit plant category, the Little Spirit Persimmon Tree.
The Little Spirit Persimmon Tree itself is an Extraordinary Plant, and the fruits it bears have the functions of Spirit Plants and Immortal Herbs.
By consuming one Little Spirit Persimmon, one can develop a Sea of Spirit and gain Extraordinary Power!"
