Chapter 577: Chapter 578: The King of Thieves

The entire venue was in an uproar!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden twist!

"What on earth is going on?"

"Wasn’t Ximen Jian all arrogant just a moment ago? How could he suddenly kneel down and beg for mercy?"

"Who exactly is this mysterious young man?"

Ye Wudao looked at Ximen Jian, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading continuously, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Such a thing, he didn’t even want to dirty his hands by killing him!

However, for a guy like this, it was not acceptable to not teach him a lesson!

"Come here!" Ye Wudao ordered Ximen Jian.

Ximen Jian, with a fawning expression on his face, said, "Great, great sir, do you have any orders for me?"

Ye Wudao suddenly lifted his blade and carved a pattern on Ximen Jian’s face.

"Ah!" Ximen Jian, touching his forehead, asked curiously, "What did you do on my head?"

"To teach you a lesson!"

"Pfft!" Yun Zimo couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing.

All the onlookers, seeing this, burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha, there’s actually a turtle drawn on Ximen Jian’s face!"

"That’s hilarious!"

"Haha, this is too funny!"

What?

A turtle!!

Doesn’t that mean I’m the turtle jerk?

Upon hearing this, Ximen Jian’s face couldn’t help but show a furious expression. He, the esteemed young master of the Ximen imperial family, the foster son of the West Emperor, had just been publicly branded with a turtle on his face.

Humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

But Ximen Jian dared not show any dissatisfaction, forcing a smile on his face.

Just then, with a bang,

fireworks suddenly lit up the sky above West Emperor City, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

"It’s the West Emperor Auction about to start!"

"Let’s hurry over and join the excitement!"

Many people moved towards the auction in West Emperor City.

Yun Zimo said, "Mr. Ye, let’s go to the auction in West Emperor City as well!"

"Okay." Ye Wudao nodded.

The group headed towards the West Emperor City Auction, chatting and laughing along the way.

"Uncle Jiusha, let me introduce you, this is my third senior brother from Kunlun, Li Ruobai!" Ye Wudao said with a smile as he introduced.

Jiusha looked surprised and said, "So this is the famed Kunlun Swordsman, Li Ruobai. Truly a promising young man!"

Kunlun Swordsman Li Ruobai, full of chivalry, with a sword and a flask of wine, travels the world and has made a name for himself in all directions; his fame is not only within the Emperor-level circles, but even among pseudo-Emperor-level powerhouses!

"You are the brother of Beiwang, the famed Jiusha. I’ve long admired you!" Li Ruobai said with a smile, extending his hand.

"You know me?" Jiusha was astonished.

"Hehe, of course! Uncle Jiusha, you were already at the peak of the pseudo-Emperor level ten years ago, oh, but your realm now..." Li Ruobai noticed Jiusha’s realm, which was only at the peak of the seventh-grade Battle Emperor, and couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

Jiusha shook his head, "I was framed by a villain; it’s not worth mentioning."

Seeing this, Li Ruobai decided not to pry further, and the two exchanged some pleasantries.

"This West Emperor Auction seems very famous?" Ye Wudao said, unable to help himself as he saw the city full of people heading forward.

"Hehe, naturally! The West Emperor Auction is one of Dragon Country’s top-tier auctions, and its master is Lord Xidi himself! The items auctioned are often rare treasures, coveted by martial artists from all around, some even willing to spend a fortune for them!" Yun Zimo said proudly.

"Moreover, the West Emperor Auction is divided into the regular auction and the grand auction."

"Oh? What’s the difference between the two?" Ye Wudao asked.

"The small auction is held once every two years, while the grand auction happens once every decade!" Yun Zimo said.

So that’s how it is!

Ye Wudao nodded as he noticed nearly ten thousand people flocking to the West Emperor Auction. It was needless to say about the ordinary Martial Artists, among the senior Martial Artists, there were countless fighters of War King level, and Ye Wudao even saw dozens of War Emperor level fighters. Many Martial Artists had come from thousands of miles away, all for the sake of obtaining the treasures they yearned for in their hearts.

One could imagine just how eye-catching this grand auction was!

"We’re here!" Yun Zimo said with a smile.

Ye Wudao looked up.

This place was at the very heart of West Emperor City, a classical Chinese-style building that stood seven stories tall, majestic and at least ten times larger than the Treasure Pavilion!

To welcome this auction event, the West Emperor Auction had also brought out thousands of Martial Artists for security, ensuring absolute safety!

"Our Treasure Pavilion is not bad either, but compared with the West Emperor Auction, it’s like a dwarf in the presence of a giant, significantly outshone!" Yun Zimo said awkwardly.

"Miss Yun need not be modest," Ye Wudao replied with a smile.

At the entrance of the West Emperor Auction, there were several passages laid out.

They were the ordinary passage, the senior passage, and the VIP passage!

Each entrance was guarded by a strong force from the West Emperor Auction; the VIP entrance even had two ordinary War Emperors stationed there, which showed extreme luxury!

Soon, the group arrived at the VIP entrance.

"Mr. Ye, please take out the invitation letter on you. Our Yun Family business has the qualification for the VIP entrance," Yun Zimo said with a smile.

"All right," Ye Wudao searched on himself, but suddenly, the smile on his face froze.

"What’s wrong?" Yun Zimo asked.

"The invitation letter on me has disappeared..." Ye Wudao said with an embarrassed face.

What?

Yun Zimo said with a shocked expression, "It couldn’t have been stolen, could it? There’s been a rash of pickpocketing lately..."

It was still there a moment ago!

Just then, a mocking voice came, "Brat, if you don’t have the VIP invitation, don’t block the way. Occupying the toilets without doing the business, get lost to the side!"

Who?

Ye Wudao turned his head with dissatisfaction, only to see more than a dozen men in black making their move. The leader, a sleazy-looking short man, took out an invitation letter from his body and handed it to one of the War Emperor level fighters of the West Emperor Auction.

"Hmm, confirmed. You may pass!" The fighter of the West Emperor Auction nodded, returning the invitation to the short man.

"That’s my invitation letter!" Ye Wudao’s pupils contracted sharply.

"Let’s go, brothers!" the sleazy short man waved grandly.

"Stop!" Ye Wudao suddenly shouted angrily.

The sleazy short man looked displeased, "Hey, punk, what do you want to do?"

"You actually dare to steal my invitation letter?" Ye Wudao’s eyes swept across with a glint of killing intent.

"Steal your invitation letter?" Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, the sleazy short man said with a mocking face, "Brat, which eye of yours saw that? You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can’t talk nonsense!"

"Return the invitation letter to me!" Ye Wudao said coldly.

"What a joke, just because you say it’s yours, it’s yours?"

The short man grew angry, and said furiously, "Punk, you’re nothing but trash at the Sixth Grade War King level. Do you know who we are? I am the Pavilion Master of the Divine Thieves Pavilion in West Emperor City, Zhao Kun, known on the streets as the Thief King!"

"What, they are people from the Divine Thieves Pavilion!" Yun Zimo hastily reminded, "Mr. Ye, the Divine Thieves Pavilion is one of the four major gangs in West Emperor City; they do all sorts of evil, love to steal, and take others’ possessions as their own!"

Ye Wudao’s blade pointed directly at the sleazy short man, "Hand it over!"

"Tsk, give you a face and you want the whole head!" The Thief King Zhao Kun also got angry, and gave a signal to his men with his eyes.

Numerous people from the Divine Thieves Pavilion encircled Ye Wudao.

"Fighting is forbidden at the West Emperor Auction; if you want to fight, go further away!" A War Emperor level enforcer from the West Emperor Auction reminded them.

"Hmph, if it weren’t for the West Emperor Auction, today would be your death day!" Thief King Zhao Kun waved his hand, "Let’s go attend the auction!"

In that instant, Ye Wudao violently swung his Beiwang Blade in hand.

Swish!

Screams resounded.

Several men from the Divine Thieves Pavilion fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

"I’ll say it one last time, give me the invitation letter, or else, die!" Ye Wudao’s gaze was cold.
