and redirected the incoming sword qi.The Ouyang cultivators who were on standby nearby, faced with the incoming sword energy brimming with fierce intent, were momentarily flustered."Damn." a single..."Senior, the relationships between alliances aren't always antagonistic. Most of the time they are neutral, and a few are even friendly." Zuo Yang replied, "The relationship between the Baizong Alliance and the Chiyang Alliance... is considered friendly. A large part of this is because Xu Feng and Nian Jinglun have a good private friendship."

"According to what you said before, the strength of this Blazing Sun Alliance should be stronger than that of the Hundred Sects Alliance, right" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, quite powerful," Left-Looking replied.

Fang Yu nodded and didn't ask any more.

In a short while, they arrived at the Year family's home.

The Nian family also resided in the southern end of Wu Prefecture, situated in a relatively remote location.

But as they neared the city, they entered an area with a higher concentration of cultivators.

"This is Yancheng District, with fewer sects and more aristocratic families." Zuo Yang introduced.

Standing before the gates of the Year family's home, Zuoyan faced the guards and declared his purpose.

"Brother, it looks like we're going to have to fight again!" Han Miaoyi whispered.

"Not necessarily, I didn't do anything just now either." Fang Yu said.

"Humph, not everyone is so timid! With such a large family this year, they certainly won't surrender easily!" Han Miaoyin said firmly.

Fan Yu smiled and didn't say much.

Since the Nian family was friends with Xu Feng, the person who killed him would naturally find it difficult to communicate amicably with the Nian family.

However, within the Savage Realm, Fang Yu still preferred to keep a low profile.

If you can avoid doing something, don't do it.

The crazy old man's words, scribbled on the paper ball, were etched into his memory.

After chatting with Zuo Yang and the goalkeeper for a while, Han Miao narrowed her eyes and said, "They're coming, they're definitely going to make their move."

Unexpectedly, seconds later, Zuo Yang walked back alone.

As for the group of guards, there was no sign that they were about to make a move. They still stood stoically at the gate.

"Senior, I just asked the guards of the Nian family, and they said that Nian Jinglun is not currently at home. He went to the Yancheng District this morning to attend an auction." Zuoyang said.

"Where will the auction be held" Fang Yu asked.

"Within Yecheng District, the most authoritative auction house is called Ling's Auction House. Although the guards didn't reveal its exact location, if Nianjing Lun were to attend the auction, it's highly likely he would be at Ling's Auction House," Zuo Yang said.

"Then let's just go ahead." Fang Yu said.

"Well, Senior, please continue to follow along with me." Zuo Yang said.

……

Leaving Nianjia, entering the central area of Yancheng District.

Here, all comers are cultivators. They wear different garments, many with special markings that represent their affiliations.

The road is very wide, and there aren't many buildings, but each one is very huge.

Most of these buildings are the mansions of certain great families, and a small number are businesses such as shops and auction houses.

"By the way, this Ling's Auction House, should it be established by a family surnamed Ling" Fang Yu asked as they walked.

"Yes, senior, the Ling Auction House has branches throughout the entire Nanhuang region," Zuo Yang said. "As for the Ling Family, they possess an extremely terrifying level of power and background. They are an ancient family within Dayuan Prefecture, with a great reputation and high status."

"Oh." Fang Yu nodded.

Based on the previous map, Dà Yuánzhou was located in the central region of Nán Huāng and was quite far from Wǔzhōu.

He doesn't need to know all of this right now.

As we journeyed on, we neared the Ling Family Auction House, and the surrounding environment began to change.

On either side of the road, suddenly appeared a line of guards clad in silver armor and fully armed, standing guard along both sides.

And from this point onwards, the number of cultivators surrounding them noticeably decreased.

The atmosphere, which was previously lively and festive, had become heavy and somber.

"What's going on" Fang Yu looked at the road ahead.

The road is still long, but all the way forward, guards are on both sides keeping watch.

"This..." Zuo Yang's face also changed.

He has visited Yancheng District many times, and naturally he has also visited Ling's Auction House here.

But he had never seen such a sight!

"Halt! Show me your invitation!"

As they reached this stretch of road, the two guards standing at the front immediately lowered their spears and crossed them to block their path.

This action caused Zuo Yang's face to change.

These guards before us don't look ordinary!

Although their armor bore no obvious markings, the aura of deadly menace they exuded was formidable.

At first glance, this is a true soldier who has been through the battlefield!

In Wuzhou, and throughout the entire Southern Wasteland, most factions would only cultivate cultivators, not warriors like this!

The force that could cultivate such a formidable warrior squad... is definitely extraordinary!

"Could it be the four great forces of Wuzhou..." Zuo Yang's eyes were filled with shock.

"Is that building over there the Ling's Auction House" Fang Yu asked, looking at a three-story large building at the end of the distance.

"...Yes," Zuo Yang replied.

"So this blockade must be related to the auction held by the Ling Auction House today, right It's not usually like this, is it" Fang Yu asked again.

"That's not how it usually works. Auctions never require invitations, you can just go if you want to. Today... things are a bit different." Zuo Yang replied.

"Hey, brother, I wanted to ask, why are you guys standing guard here today" Fang Yu asked.

"No invitations, leave immediately!"

The guard answered impassively and coldly.

"I'm here to attend the auction. I have assets worth trillions, though I don't have an invitation. But I must be a distinguished guest, wouldn't you say" Fang Yu said with a chuckle.

"Leave at once, or be killed!"

Two guards spoke in cold voices again.

As soon as these words left his mouth, the two rows of guards in front of them turned their heads simultaneously and fixed their gazes on Fang Yu.

This sudden outburst of murderous aura was extremely terrifying!

"Hey, you dare shout at my brother I..." Han Miaoyi rolled up her sleeves and was about to charge forward.

But her shoulders were pinned down, preventing her from taking another step forward.

"Don't jump into every fight," Fang Yu said, "I told you not to interfere. If I need help, I will call for it."

"Brother, they yelled at you!" Han Miaoyi said pitifully, "I just wanted to get revenge for you!"

"I don't need you to seek revenge." Fang Yu shook his head.

Left-Facing, shaken and pale, transmitted sound, "Senior, these guards are formidable. Let's retreat for now to avoid escalating the situation."

He knew these guards wouldn't mean much to the other feathered party.

But what's truly terrifying isn't this group of guards, but the power behind them!

In his view, only the presence of four or more major forces in Wu State would cultivate such warriors.

Therefore, taking action now is not a good choice.

"Okay, let's go back first then." Fang Yu agreed.

But on the surface, looking at this group of guards, Fang Yu shook his head instead. He feigned anger and pointed to the two guards blocking his way, saying: "You guys are refusing such a wealthy guest like me, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

After that, he glared angrily and stomped off.zu, and Mo Xiao successively passed through the circular seal mark, returning to the Demon Slayer Clan territory.……Deep within the Red Demon Clan's main residence, inside the palace.The grand palace w...
