"Enough with your nonsense, die!"

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly, clenching his hand, causing Zhao Duanqiao’s body to start inflating wildly, like a balloon about to burst under the immense pressure.

"No! I won’t die! I belong to the Zhao family! How could I possibly die!"

Even facing imminent death, Zhao Duanqiao continued to roar madly, but his roars were meaningless.

His body grew larger and larger, and finally with a bang turned into a cloud of blood mist, which was completely absorbed by Chu Fengmian, merging into his Slaughter Sword Technique.

While the blood qi of a dominion-grade martial artist was of little use to Chu Fengmian at this point, it was still better than nothing, and Chu Fengmian was not one to waste any opportunity to enhance his strength.

"To eradicate the roots after cutting the grass, you’re next!"

Chu Fengmian’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Master Mu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

Even if Master Mu pleaded for mercy, there was no way Chu Fengmian would spare him today.

"Die!"

With one word spat out, Master Mu’s body too exploded into a cloud of blood mist, all of which was devoured by Chu Fengmian.

The deaths of Zhao Duanqiao and Master Mu had now fallen silently into Chu Fengmian’s hands, and he then took the mysterious Compass, activating it to dissolve the space around him, and vanished with a flash.

Their deaths, having come quietly, they planned to use this mysterious Compass to silently kill Chu Fengmian. Now it had rid Chu Fengmian of a great trouble as he dealt with them once and for all.

"The auction should be starting soon."

Chu Fengmian mentally noted, returning to Twilight Pavilion. Lu Qingshan and Qian Ya were already waiting outside the Twilight Pavilion.

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s return, Qian Ya approached him.

"Mr. Chu has returned. I’ve heard that Mr. Chu had quite a haul at the Treasure Pavilion."

Qian Ya’s voice was extremely seductive as she stood right beside Chu Fengmian, as if the two had been familiar friends for many years.

The events at the Treasure Pavilion had already spread throughout the Nine Cauldrons Ancient City.

A billion in bets, something that the Nine Cauldrons Ancient City hadn’t seen in countless years, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the news that Chu Fengmian could win against Master Mu made Qian Ya extremely curious.

Master Mu was a figure with a huge reputation in the Nine Cauldrons Ancient City, and the fact that he could lose to Chu Fengmian in treasure appraisal was something no one could have expected.

This made Qian Ya even more curious about Chu Fengmian, wanting to see who this mysterious man really was.

"Just a bit of luck, I’ve read some ancient texts, so I know a thing or two about treasure appraisal,"

Chu Fengmian replied calmly.

Just a thing or two?

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Qian Ya couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Could someone who claimed to know just a thing or two win against Master Mu and dare to place a billion bet against him?

But her face still maintained a seductive smile.

"The auction is about to start, Mr. Chu. Let’s walk and talk,"

Qian Ya said, smiling at Chu Fengmian.

She accompanied Chu Fengmian toward the core area of the Nine Cauldrons Ancient City.

Along the way, Qian Ya also engaged Chu Fengmian in conversation.

"Mr. Chu," people say you’ve bought quite a few oddities? And you’ve even acquired the Extreme Yin Demon Stone? I wonder, what use do you have for the Extreme Yin Demon Stone?"

Qian Ya’s gaze flashed, but it seemed as if she asked nonchalantly.

The biggest topic of discussion among the crowd was Chu Fengmian’s acquisition of the Extreme Yin Demon Stone.

The Extreme Yin Demon Stone contained immense power, which was known to all, but no one had ever been able to truly control its power.

Not even saints could do it, nor the powerhouses who had transcended life and death.

Such a hot potato, and Chu Fengmian actually purchased it, which made countless people speculate whether Chu Fengmian had a way to utilize the power of the Extreme Yin Demon Stone.

It was well-known that the power of the Extreme Yin Demon Stone was even more formidable than that of the Pure Yang Dragon Stone; should anyone manage to harness its power, it would be a truly earth-shattering feat.

Qian Ya’s casual question was actually an attempt to probe Chu Fengmian.

"I simply enjoy collecting some oddities," Chu Fengmian said indifferently. "The Extreme Yin Demon Stone is an exceedingly rare natural treasure, and hence I bought it."

Chu Fengmian spoke blandly.

As Qian Ya spoke, every move she made was exceedingly alluring; it was apparent that the Cultivation Technique she practiced was a type of charm technique.

If it were a Martial Artist whose willpower was not strong, it was very possible they could be directly beguiled by Qian Ya and then controlled by her.

But how firm was Chu Fengmian’s mind? In his eyes, Qian Ya’s little charm technique was virtually insignificant.

"Collecting? This Extreme Yin Demon Stone is a hot potato," she persisted. "Could it be that Mr. Chu knows how to harness the power of the Extreme Yin Demon Stone? Could you tell Qian Ya? I really want to know."

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Qian Ya leaned even closer to Chu Fengmian, her captivating arts on full display.

The myriad Martial Artists around looked at Qian Ya with obsessed expressions, now probably would willingly die if Qian Ya asked them to.

It could be that many saints could possibly be entranced by her as well.

"Hmph!"

Chu Fengmian’s lips let out a cold scoff, followed by a faint Dragon Roar. This caused the numerous Martial Artists around to suddenly snap to their senses, her alluring charm technique instantly scattered.

"This is just a warning," Chu Fengmian said coldly, looking at Qian Ya. "Do not delude yourself into thinking that such a trivial charm technique could beguile me."

Although he paid no mind to the small charm technique, it was apparent that Qian Ya bore no good intentions towards Chu Fengmian, and so this time, even a slight reprimand was warranted.

"Yes," Qian Ya said reluctantly.

And in her heart, she was seething with unwillingness.

Her charm technique rarely failed unless she encountered a saint. Even Lu Qingshan, who had often been around her, was easily charmed.

But now, her charm technique, in front of Chu Fengmian, held no significance at all; in fact, it was promptly nullified by Chu Fengmian.

"This guy, his power is incredibly peculiar, at just the first level of Commanding Wind Realm, yet sufficient to withstand my charm technique!"

"But sooner or later, I’ll find an opportunity to make him submit to me," Qian Ya thought in her heart.

These small-minded thoughts of Qian Ya naturally did not escape Chu Fengmian, but he was too lazy to bother with her, as long as she didn’t act to his detriment, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t waste his energy.

"The auction house, we’ve arrived," Qian Ya said from beside him.

The towering structure ahead came into Chu Fengmian’s view.
