Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1166: City of Peace, Campbell Family Auction House

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: City of Peace, Campbell Family Auction House

In a region south of the inland on the Cloud Skies Continent, close to the "Weak Water River," there was a bustling large city.

This large city was known as the "City of Peace."

And within this city, everything indeed seemed peaceful, with hardly any strife to be seen.

Even if disputes occurred, they were promptly taken away by a group of powerful "Law Enforcers."

No one knew precisely what became of those who were taken away.

But they were never seen again.

The group that escorted people away were from the Campbell Family, the leading enforcers in the City of Peace.

The Campbell Family, the first and foremost family in the City of Peace, a first-rate power, oversaw the entire city while controlling half of the city’s industries.

As for the other half of the industries in the City of Peace, they were controlled by several other top-tier powers.

Among them was the former Yin and Yang Sect, now known as the "Heaven Fortune Sect."

Outside the City of Peace, two figures entered the city with the crowd, a young man and woman, as stunning as a pair of golden boy and jade girl, quickly attracting many gazes.

"What a handsome young man!"

"The woman by his side has a beauty that could topple cities and nations."

...

Many whispered among themselves.

Those now entering the City of Peace were Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero, who had just left the Heaven Fortune Sect early that morning.

Although Wyatt was the Sect Leader of the Heaven Fortune Sect and well-known in the neighboring areas, very few people had actually seen him.

Thus, as he walked down the crowded streets of the City of Peace, no one could recognize him.

"Last time you went there, did you not discover any useful clues?"

Suddenly, Winnie spoke up, her question quite abrupt.

However, Wyatt guessed what she was asking about, "They were very careful and didn’t leave any traces."

Winnie fell silent and then spoke after a moment, "You will encounter them again someday."

"Mhm."

Wyatt nodded, his expression slightly heavy.

"Winnie, do you know why I am here?"

Soon, Wyatt relaxed his expression and changed the subject.

"The Campbell Family, a large auction event."

Winnie spoke few words but hit the nail on the head, causing Wyatt to be taken aback in surprise, "How did you guess?"

"People were talking about it when we entered the city."

Winnie explained.

Her explanation was clear.

When they had entered the city, she had overheard many people discussing the major auction event that the Campbell Family’s auction house was holding that day.

Therefore, she speculated.

The purpose of Wyatt’s visit was for the major auction that the Campbell Family auction house held once every three months.

"I didn’t expect you to be so attentive."

Wyatt sighed, "Right. My purpose here is indeed for the large auction that the Campbell Family is hosting today... Speaking of which, I have been waiting for today for several days already."

In the City of Peace, there was only one auction house, controlled by the Campbell Family, which held a large auction every three months.

As for smaller auctions, they were held daily.

A few days ago, having learned of the existence of both the City of Peace and the Campbell Family, as well as the large auctions hosted by the Campbell Family every three months, Wyatt had begun waiting for today.

And now, he had finally arrived.

"Let’s go! We’re off to the Campbell Family auction house... The auction will start in an hour."

Wyatt called out to Winnie and turned to walk ahead.

Although it was his first time in the City of Peace, he seemed to know his way around, which made Winnie couldn’t help but feel surprised, "Have you been here before?"

"No, it’s my first time here."

Wyatt spoke truthfully.

And indeed, it was his first time. The reason he seemed to know his way around was that, a few days ago, Pearl Rowan had prepared a layout map of the entire "City of Peace" for him.

It marked several of Heaven Fortune Sect’s properties in the City of Peace, as well as the location of the Campbell Family’s auction house.

Thus, having memorized the layout map, Wyatt knew his way to the Campbell Family’s auction house like the back of his hand, because he had the route firmly etched in his memory.

After learning all this from Wyatt, Winnie nodded subtly.

"The Campbell Family auction house is said to be different from ordinary auction houses... It’s an open-air auction house."

On their way, Wyatt shared with Winnie.

Before long, Wyatt and Winnie reached the outside of the Campbell Family auction house.

By now, the area was crowded, filled mostly with onlookers, with a few there to participate in the auction.

"Let’s head over there."

Wyatt led Winnie in a different direction.

Moments later, separate pavilions appeared before them, a spacious walkway paved with bluestone weaved through them, allowing free passage.

Soon, Wyatt and Winnie arrived at the entrance to the bluestone-paved walkway.

Two pretty women, dressed simply and smiling warmly, which felt like a breath of spring air, stood on each side.

"Two guests, are you here to consign something for auction?"

One of the women looked at Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero, smiling as she asked with a voice as pleasant as that of an oriole.

"I need to consign two items,"

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"But may I know what items the guest wishes to auction? The auction is about to begin, and it is not permitted to consign ordinary items at this time."

After asking, the woman added the following information.

Towards the end, she undoubtedly conveyed another meaning:

At this time, the Campbell Family’s auction house does not accept consignments of ordinary items.

"I wish to consign a ’Grade One spirit sword’ and a ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly, seemingly unaffected by the woman’s previous comment.

Grade One spirit sword?

Grade One Return-Life Pill?

"I am truly sorry, guest. At this time, our Campbell Family only accepts items for consignment that have the potential to be the ’finale’ of the auction."

The woman said with an apologetic face.

In her view, while a ’Grade One spirit sword’ is precious, it still fails to qualify as the ’finale’ for the auction held by the Campbell Family every three months.

As for the Grade One Return-Life Pill, it is even less qualified.

As if he had anticipated her reaction, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised and simply added, "What if it’s a Grade One spirit sword that enhances ’ninety percent’ of strength and a Grade One Pill Medicine with a purity of ’over ninety percent’?"

Whoosh!

The moment Wyatt Barnes spoke, it was like throwing a stone into a calm pond, causing ripples to spread.

The two women standing before him both fixed their gaze sharply, their expressions becoming extremely somber.

"Guest, could you please take out your ’Grade One spirit sword’ for me to test? If it is as you say, I will immediately take you backstage and have an alchemist appraise the ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ you have brought."

One of the women, who was somewhat skeptical of Wyatt Barnes’s claim, still chose to say this, hoping that he would retract his claim.

How much a Grade One spirit sword could enhance someone’s strength can be tested by any martial artist with Origin Force in their body.

As for the purity of a Grade One Pill Medicine, that requires the assessment of a specialized alchemist.

"Of course I can."

Wyatt Barnes knew clearly that if he refused the woman’s request at this time, he would undoubtedly reveal his dishonesty, and they would not believe he possessed a Grade One spirit sword capable of enhancing ’ninety percent’ of strength.

So, he promptly handed over the Grade One spirit sword that he had prepared.

It was a ’Grade One spirit sword’ he had casually forged a few days ago, capable of enhancing ’ninety percent’ of one’s strength.

The woman who had expected Wyatt Barnes to back down upon difficulty was taken aback when he actually presented a Grade One spirit sword.

However, as one of the staff of the Campbell Family’s auction house, she quickly recovered and took the Grade One spirit sword from Wyatt Barnes’s hand.

Hum!

With a flick of her wrist, the Grade One spirit sword held in her hand emitted a crisp sword chant.

Immediately, the woman’s hand surged with Origin Force, merging with the Grade One spirit sword in her hand.

Whoosh!

In an instant, above the void over her head, a thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms appeared as if telling of her ’Transforming Void Realm Seventh-Order’ cultivation level.

Shortly after, on one side of those thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms, a heavenly phenomenon emerged.

Exactly nine hundred ancient Horned Dragon phantoms appeared, neither more nor less.

"Enhanced ’ninety percent’!"

The other woman, witnessing the scene before her, sharp-eyed and utterly astonished.

And the woman who was testing the spirit sword was now slack-jawed, never having imagined that such a Grade One spirit sword capable of enhancing ’ninety percent’ strength truly existed in this world.

Quickly recovering their senses, the two women exchanged a glance. The woman who had tested the sword returned the Grade One spirit sword to Wyatt Barnes, her demeanor undergoing a complete one-eighty: "Both guests, please follow me."

With that said, the woman led Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero along a cobble-stoned pathway, heading straight ahead.

A spirit sword of this kind already had the qualifications to be the ’finale’ of today’s auction.

On either side of the cobblestone pathway were various pavilions where many people were seated, all here to participate in the auction organized by the Campbell Family today.

While proceeding, Wyatt Barnes was curiously observing the Campbell Family’s auction house.

The Campbell Family’s auction house looked grand and elegant, without even a hint of oppression, offering an extremely tranquil auction environment.

At the end of the cobblestone pathway lies the high stage of the Campbell Family auction house, also the auction platform.

Behind the auction stage, two curtain-like red cloths hung from an iron frame prepared in advance, making it possible to directly access the backstage of the Campbell Family auction house through the middle of the two red cloths.

"Please, guests,"

However, the woman who brought Wyatt Barnes and his companion didn’t lead them through the middle of the two red cloths into the backstage of the auction house.

Doing so would undoubtedly have attracted too much attention.

Afterward, it was likely that everyone present would know that Wyatt Barnes and his companion were there to consign items.

As the saying goes, ’don’t reveal wealth unnecessarily’ – such a situation would hardly be auspicious.

The woman led Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero around, winding through several secluded turns before finally entering a quiet corridor, smoothly arriving at the backstage of the auction house.

However, this place could only be considered the outer area of the auction house backstage, as it was also separated from the rest by several red cloths hanging on iron frames, adding to the mystery of the auction house backstage.

"Here, we should be at the reception area for those consigning items,"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Indeed, Wyatt Barnes was right.
