Fighting: Summon two Dou Huangs as bodyguards at the beginning

Xiao Yan pretended to be nonchalant and took out a seventh-level water magic core from his storage ring, then placed it on the table.

Then he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I just don't have any use for this seventh-level magic core, so you can auction it for me."

The maid who was about to take the magic core was stunned for a moment, and her hand stopped in mid-air.

"Sir, are you sure? Is this a seventh-level magic core?" the maid asked with a smile.

But Xiao Yan nodded, and then said: "It's not a rare thing, just use it to play with them."

The maid had no choice but to take the magic core away. Hai Lao smiled and said, "Master, I think someone will be unwilling next."

Xiao Yan looked at the private room opposite where Mo Ya and Hu Yan were sitting. Hu Yan felt Xiao Yan's gaze and responded with a smile.

Mo Ya's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't expect that Xiao Yan was such an important person in the Xiao Clan, yet he actually sat in the main seat in the private room, and even Hai Bodong could only sit next to him.

After Hu Yan responded with a smile, he whispered to Mo Ya, "Why? Do you know that young man? I heard he's the mysterious leader of the Xiao Clan."

Mo Ya said doubtfully, "How is this possible? He's just a Dou Ling. Even if he has some very sophisticated methods, he can't possibly be the master of such a powerful force."

Hu Yan smiled and said, "Really? That's interesting."

If that were the case, then there must be an even more powerful force behind the Xiao Clan, or perhaps the Xiao Clan's leader possessed even greater power or connections.

Xiao Yan looked at the discussion below and said jokingly, "Old Hai, what do you think they guessed about my identity?"

Hai Lao smiled and said, "There must have been dozens of versions. You did a great job with this one."

While Xiao Yan and the others were talking, Yuan Yi knocked on the door and walked in.

"Ice Emperor, are you sure you want to auction this magic core?" Although Yuan Yi saw Xiao Yan sitting in the main seat, as an old man who had been in the auction house for many years, he did not ask Xiao Yan directly.

Hai Lao nodded, stood up and introduced Yuan Yi: "This is our Xiao Sect's Sect Master. This magic core was also taken out by the Sect Master. Since he took it out, there is no reason to take it back."

Yuan Yi hurriedly said, "This is the legendary Xiao Clan leader. I've long admired your name, but never met him in person. Today, I finally see him."

Xiao Yan waved his hand calmly, then said, "Master Yuan, you are too polite. We are all friends, and we will have more interactions in the future."

"Yes."

Yuan Yi thought for a moment and then said, "Master Xiao, each of these auction items is very particular. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring out such a valuable item?"

Yuan Yi reminded him because she was worried that Xiao Yan didn't understand the rules here and might cause unnecessary trouble.

But Xiao Yan just wanted to cause trouble, so he would never take it back.

Because the strongest force present was the Black Emperor Sect, and the items they took out were at most some items at the peak of the sixth level, and Xiao Yan took out the seventh-level magic core just to show off.

He wanted to challenge the Black Emperor Sect's position in the Black Horn Region.

"Master Yuan, you're worrying too much. Just do as I say. I know some basic things." Xiao Yan said.

After Yuan Yi knew that Xiao Yan did this on purpose, he didn't say anything more. He definitely didn't want to offend the Xiao Clan.

After all, the Xiao Clan is now at its peak after Hai Lao came out of seclusion, and has already surpassed all other forces except the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley.

Another sect leader, Bai Ya Chuan Shuo, has also been in seclusion trying to break through to the Dou Zong level. Now that so much time has passed, it is still unknown whether he has broken through to the Dou Zong level.

Therefore, in the minds of most people, the Xiao Clan’s current deterrent power is no less than that of the Black Emperor Sect, but the Black Emperor Sect is still an old force after all.

People who were born and raised in the Black Horn Region still believe that the Xiao Clan’s power is definitely not as strong as the Black Emperor Sect’s.

After Yuan Yi left, Xiao Yan looked at the auction table again.

"Old Hai, do you think we can become famous in this battle and completely enhance the reputation of our Xiao Clan?" Xiao Yan asked Old Hai without even turning his head.

Hai Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your plan is foolproof, but the Black Emperor Sect may become our stepping stone just like the Blood Sect did before."

"We're just worried that this stepping stone is too sharp and might prick our feet."

Hai Lao laughed heartily and said, "Master, you're worrying too much. The Xiao Clan can definitely crush this stepping stone now."

"Really? With what Mr. Hai said, I feel relieved. Then we'll wait and see." Xiao Yan also relaxed his body and half-lay on the chair.

Mo Ya's eyes never left Xiao Yan. He always had a feeling and was curious about Xiao Yan.

.........................................................

It wasn't long before the first auction officially began.

A person who was only a great fighting master in strength, but who was not at all nervous in the face of so many powerful people, went on stage.

He wore a floral mask and slowly walked towards the platform.

"Dear friends from the Black Horn Region, or guests visiting the Black Horn Region, welcome to the Eight Gates Auction House!"

The atmosphere in the audience was immediately aroused. Many people were attending the legendary Tianjie Auction for the first time, so they were particularly excited, hoping to broaden their horizons.

Xiao Yan also attended the auction for the first time after traveling for such a long time. After all, he had seen it many times in books, but this was his first time sitting in the auction hall and watching it all, so the feeling was naturally different.

Han Feng was also paying attention to Xiao Yan, because the Sea Heart Flame in his body had been restless, and it was unclear whether it was out of fear or excitement.

Xiao Yan naturally noticed Han Feng, but in order to create the appearance that the two did not know each other, Xiao Yan did not even look at Han Feng.

When the atmosphere in the venue became lively enough, the masked man took advantage of the opportunity to take out the first item for auction.

"Next is the first item of this auction, a fifth-level magical beast, a Snow Mountain Fox cub. Although it's only at the second level now, if it's properly trained, it will become a very obedient fifth-level magical beast when it grows up."

"This lot is fully guaranteed by our Eight Gates Auction House. Furthermore, this monster cub may have mutated some of its bloodline, and it's entirely possible that it could grow into a sixth-level monster!"

As soon as the masked man said these two sentences, it caused a commotion in the audience. A fifth-level monster cub only needs to be raised with good emotional cultivation.

That is definitely the fighting power of the Dou Wang level, and there is hope that it can break through to the sixth-level Warcraft in the future. However, I don’t know whether this news is true or not.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the value of this item will skyrocket again.
