Chapter 567: Chapter 568 Visitors from the Sky Alliance (First Update)

"An auction?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes lit up. He now possessed an extremely vast fortune, and of course, he intended to attend this kind of auction.

Especially since this auction would feature countless exotic treasures from ancient caves that were still being uncovered today.

With a hefty purchase at the auction, Chu Fengmian knew it could significantly enhance his strength.

"Indeed, our Heaven Commerce Guild will also be attending this auction. If Young Master Chu doesn’t mind, he may accompany this old man," Elder Li said as he looked at Chu Fengmian.

"The slots for the auction have already been set early on, with no extras left. However, with the standing of our Heaven Commerce Guild, bringing Young Master Chu into the mix won’t be difficult."

The transaction with Elder Li had brought him considerable benefits as well.

Now hearing that Chu Fengmian planned to go to the auction, Elder Li directly extended the invitation.

"Then I must thank Elder Li..." Chu Fengmian nodded.

After all, the Heaven Commerce Guild was a local power on the Mixed Yuan Continent. If he were to go with Elder Li, that would surely reduce many inconveniences.

"There isn’t much time left until evening; let’s go now," Elder Li said, wasting no words and turning into a streak of light as he departed.

"This auction is organized by the Tongtian Pavilion, currently the largest commerce guild on the Mixed Yuan Continent. However, in reality, it is jointly held by countless guilds from the Mixed Yuan Continent," Elder Li explained as they walked.

"This auction, held once every three years, may be extensive, but previous sessions always had some slots left over."

"Yet this session has been booked solid early on due to the opening of the six great ancient caves and the emergence of countless treasures. Many prominent figures who wouldn’t usually appear in the Sea of Void have come, even including some elite characters from the Western and Central Realms."

Hearing this, Chu Fengmian silently nodded to himself.

The news of the ancient caves opening was indeed enough to drive the entire Nine Domains into a frenzy.

Figures like the Ancient Dragon Emperor, a legend in himself, would have a cave that could even attract terrifying combatants beyond life and death.

Fortunately, Chu Fengmian had learned of the news in advance and rushed there promptly, allowing him to collect so many treasures.

Otherwise, if he had truly encountered such an ancient combatant beyond life and death, Chu Fengmian would have no chance of competing with them.

"Young Master Chu must have also received significant benefits from these ancient caves," Elder Li suddenly said in a quiet tone that seemed casual but contained a hint of probing.

"Right, I indeed obtained a substantial fortune within the ancient caves," Chu Fengmian admitted openly, speaking plainly as if he was someone who had suddenly struck it rich.

With such a massive fortune on him, everyone understood that Chu Fengmian must have encountered a great opportunity.

So, he might as well be frank about it.

With his current strength, there weren’t many who could pose a threat to Chu Fengmian’s life.

As Chu Fengmian chatted with Elder Li, they approached the gates of the Heaven Commerce Guild’s city. Just as they entered, seven or eight figures materialized around them.

These individuals positioned themselves to block Chu Fengmian at the entrance, outside the guild’s doors.

The figures were young martial artists, each with a proud bearing, and all with extremely high talent.

The strength of these individuals was almost on par with those in the top ten of Beimang Academy’s ranking.

"They are from the Sky Alliance!"

"Why would the Sky Alliance suddenly block the doors of the Heaven Commerce Guild?"

"Look, that’s Ouyang Lie! How can his aura be so weak? Someone actually extracted his essence and blood. Who could be so audacious as to dare extract Ouyang Lie’s essence and blood?"

"You see that? That’s Hong Yu! One of the Vice Alliance Hierarchs of the Tianmeng Alliance. Astonishingly, even such a high-ranking figure from the Alliance is in motion."

Beholding the countless disciples of the Tianmeng Alliance appearing in front of the Tian Trade Association, a stir arose among those present.

So many people from the Tianmeng Alliance had now gathered here, and even a prominent figure of the Alliance, Vice Alliance Hierarch Hong Yu, had emerged.

"Hong Yu?"

Chu Fengmian cast a glance and focused his gaze on Hong Yu, a man with a fierce-looking presence.

The aura emanating from Hong Yu was even more formidable than that of Ouyang Lie from before.

Especially for Chu Fengmian, it was palpable that the strength displayed by Hong Yu was just a very small part of what he was capable of.

His power was deeply concealed, most likely harboring countless strategies.

"Kid, you finally came out."

Ouyang Lie looked at Chu Fengmian, stepping out from the Tian Trade Association, his face revealing a measure of savagery as he spoke.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Hong, it was this brat who did it."

"Hm? It was you who injured him and extracted the saintly essence from his blood?"

Hong Yu heard Ouyang Lie’s words and his eyes suddenly fixed onto Chu Fengmian, staring him down intently.

"Was it you who injured Ouyang Lie and took his saintly essence?"

In Hong Yu’s eyes, it seemed as if endless murderous intent was contained, and merely making eye contact was enough to instill terror into one’s soul.

If the martial artist was slightly weaker, just by locking eyes with Hong Yu, they would flee helter-skelter.

However, Chu Fengmian remained utterly unconcerned; his mind resolute. No powerful martial artist would be able to instill fear in him.

"Indeed."

Chu Fengmian uttered these two words indifferently.

What he had done, he had done; there was never any need for concealment.

"Are you aware that Ouyang Lie is one of our Tianmeng Alliance?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s response, Hong Yu exploded with a surge of killing intent.

"And you still dared to extract his saintly essence?"

"Now, if you kneel before Ouyang Lie to apologize and repent, and self-cripple your cultivation, surrendering all your wealth within your spatial ring, I can leave you a whole corpse!"

Hearing Hong Yu’s words, Chu Fengmian found it somewhat absurd within his heart.

Hong Yu’s declaration was the height of arrogance—demanding Chu Fengmian kneel in remorse, self-cripple his cultivation and surrender everything, just to have an intact corpse?

Not to mention whether anyone could ever make Chu Fengmian do so, even if someone could, it would not be Hong Yu.

"Are all members of the Tianmeng Alliance idiots?"

Chu Fengmian coldly sneered.

"Who do you think you are? Daring to command me here? Don’t bite your tongue while talking."

"Now, I’m giving you a chance. All of you kneel down, hand over all the treasures in your spatial rings, and I won’t extract your saintly essence. How’s that for a price for offending me?"

As soon as Chu Fengmian’s words fell, the audience was astounded.

The Tianmeng Alliance was one of the most colossal forces in the Mixed Yuan Continent.

And Hong Yu, was a bigwig within the Tianmeng Alliance, a Vice Alliance Hierarch.

In the Mixed Yuan Continent, it had always been the Tianmeng Alliance oppressing others, never having been oppressed themselves.

"Seeking death?"

The complexion of Hong Yu abruptly changed, fury blazing within his eyes as he suddenly lashed out with a palm.
