Chapter 205: Chapter 75 Underground Auction

Feng Xun listened and his eyebrows slightly raised in realization; he had originally planned to attend an auction in Xia Capital today with Old Sir Mu.

Feng Xun is also going to the auction?

Ye Lingyue thought secretly.

With Feng Xun’s "distinguished" appearance, if he went to the auction, his face would probably attract more attention than the auction items themselves.

Having been around Feng Xun for some time, Ye Lingyue had gradually become immune to his looks, yet still found herself occasionally mesmerized.

Ye Lingyue had also attended auctions at Juqi Tower, but those kinds of auctions were nothing Feng Xun, the wealthy tycoon, would be interested in.

As if guessing what Ye Lingyue was thinking, he flashed a toothy smile.

"Ling Yue, you’re quite fortunate. I received this invitation a few days ago and had already agreed to go. Why don’t you come with me to Treasure Cave? The underground auction at Treasure Cave is different from normal auctions and is definitely worth a visit. However, with people from all walks of life there, it would be better for you to wear men’s clothing and disguise your true identity."

Ye Lingyue was surprised; despite her long stay in Xia Capital, she had never heard of any underground auction.

It wasn’t that Ye Lingyue was unaware, but rather, Treasure Cave only sent invitations to a very limited number of people.

These invitees were either individuals with notable cultivation or those with wealth over ten million.

Being new to Xia Capital with neither wealth nor fame, Ye Lingyue was naturally not on the invitation list. Even Lan Yingwu, who had broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, had only received an invitation once. Unfortunately, since Lan Yingwu had no money, he never set foot in Treasure Cave.

Immediately, Ye Lingyue changed into the clothes Feng Xun wore during his youth and both donned masks to cover their faces. Then, they took a carriage from the Feng Residence toward the location of Treasure Cave.

An invitation to Treasure Cave could bring only one accompanying person; it had always been Old Sir Mu who accompanied Feng Xun.

According to Feng Xun, Treasure Cave was the largest auction in Xia Capital and even in the entire Daxia; as long as one had money, anything could be purchased.

After Ye Lingyue’s cultivation had improved, she still only possessed lower-level martial arts techniques like Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand and Thunderclap Fist; the cultivation techniques of the Lan Residence didn’t suit her, and she had long been thinking of finding a new martial arts technique.

With what Feng Xun said, perhaps this underground auction might have higher-level martial arts available for purchase. She decided instantly to go with him.

As the carriage from Feng Residence rolled out, another unremarkable carriage passed through the streets of Xia Capital and into several alleys, stopping in front of a residence.

A middle-aged man alighted from the carriage, his complexion waxen and expression stiff, clearly wearing a human skin mask to disguise his looks.

He entered the residence and removed the human skin mask.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Yang Qing, who was lying in bed, quickly scrambled down.

"My respects to the Princely Heir."

"You useless thing, I heard you were stabbed in a woman’s belly," the middle-aged man, revealing his true face, turned out to be Heir Hong from Hong Residence.

It appears Ye Lingyue’s earlier speculation was true; behind Sha Sect indeed stood a powerful force.

And it was none other than the Hong Residence, one of the Four Noble Marquis Mansions.

"Princely Heir, it was a youngster from Ghost Sect. This damned Ghost Sect, daring to target Sha Sect," Yang Qing seemed very reverent towards Heir Hong.

Ye Lingyue originally was a personal eunuch of Heir Hong, cunning and capable, so he was cultivated by Marquis Hong and aided Heir Hong.

In fact, under the Four Noble Marquis, more or less, there were other industries to support, ensuring that the Four Noble Marquis thrived in the official circles while always enjoying wealth and privilege.

Heir Hong snorted coldly, looking at the injured Ye Lingyue.

This young man had wicked methods, was despicable, and was excellent for getting involved in gangs; however, his lascivious nature had nearly caused him to make several mistakes over women. Had it not been for his Poison Skill, Heir Hong would have abandoned him long ago.

"It’s not just Ghost Sect, I hear. Recently, Sha Sect’s business has dropped significantly," Heir Hong looked through the recent account books of Sha Sect, where the income from pleasure establishments had dropped by thirty to forty percent.

"My lord, recently Killing Hall has seized several of our places... But don’t worry, whether it’s Killing Hall or Ghost Sect, once I recover from my injuries, I will surely settle scores," Ye Lingyue stated confidently.

"You had better keep your word, otherwise, you won’t need to be the Sect Leader anymore," said Heir Hong, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Ye Lingyue knelt on the floor, his face gloomy.

At that moment, someone walked out from beside the screen in his room.

There was actually a third person in the room, and his ability to conceal his presence under the watch of Heir Hong of the Reincarnation First Path spoke volumes about his strength.

"Lord Grand Protector," Ye Lingyue stood up, removed the gauze from his hand, and respectfully bowed to the figure.

Unexpectedly, the concealed person in the room turned out to be Hong Fang himself.

"Ye Lingyue, your injuries aren’t severe, are they?" You don’t know someone until you live with them.

How could Heir Hong imagine that Ye Lingyue, whom he believed was manipulatively under his control, had already aligned with his "good brother" Hong Fang?

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Grand Protector. My injuries have healed thanks to the fifth-grade elixir you provided," Ye Lingyue said gratefully.

Unlike Heir Hong who only knew how to reprimand, Hong Fang had immediately sent good medicine upon learning of Ye Lingyue’s injuries.

This made Ye Lingyue even more grateful to Hong Fang.

Earlier, when Heir Hong entered, Ye Lingyue was extremely nervous, fearing that Heir Hong would discover Hong Fang’s presence; however, he soon realized that Heir Hong hadn’t noticed there was a third person in the room.

Could it be...

"Hehe, you must be wondering how Heir Hong hasn’t noticed me. It’s because I’ve already broken through the Reincarnation Three Paths," Hong Fang’s gaze was chilling.

After obtaining the Reincarnation Elixir from Noble Princess Consort Luo, he had relentlessly trained and finally, three days ago, managed to break through the Reincarnation Three Paths and passed the Reincarnation Water Tribulation.

Whether it was Heir Hong or Lan Yingwu, none were a match for him now.

However, this news was well-concealed by Hong Fang, and the people of Hong Residence were still unaware.

Upon hearing that Hong Fang had broken through the Reincarnation Three Paths, Ye Lingyue, who had been hesitating between Heir Hong and Hong Fang, immediately understood.

"Congratulations, Lord Grand Protector. From now on, Sha Sect will definitely follow your lead," Ye Lingyue declared.

"Ye Lingyue, you are a man who understands the times. The future of Hong Residence will certainly be in my hands. But under my leadership, Sha Sect will become the number one force in Xia Capital. I want you to bring me the head of the Ghost Sect Leader speedily," said Hong Fang confidently after his breakthrough to the Reincarnation Second Realm, believing not even theGhost Sect, nor even Killing Hall could be his match.

A mere Ghost Sect— with the Sha Sect out in full force, they would surely uproot it completely.
