523 Experts Gather; Ning Wu Qing! (1/2)
Fatty Tang was seated opposite to Jun Mo Xie. The Fatty was wearing an extremely thin robe even on such a cold day. However, he was still wiping his sweat nonstop! The frenzy outside the hall resembled a momentous wave. And, these waves of frenzied aura were even infiltrating into the hall through the walls. Fatty's mental strength was rather weak. Therefore, it was impossible for him to withstand the aura of this place since the world's strongest people had gathered here!
”Third… Third Young Master… You're going to stay here for this auction, right?” Tang Yuan said with difficulty while wiping his sweat.
Jun Mo Xie looked at Fatty's cowardly appearance, and felt somewhat helpless as a result, ”You look like you've got diarrhea! You think I won't stay here for this auction? Fu*k! You're worthless! This is such good opportunity for you to seek fame, and you look like you're about to let it slip by! Don't tell me that I will have to take charge in person!”
Fatty calmed down to some extent. He then looked at his sweat-soaked robes, and said with a bitter smile, ”Third Young Master, I can barely scrape-by this task today… I would surely lose weight if we hold more of such auctions…”
'Pfft' Dugu Xiao Yi sneered at this. This little girl was sitting next to Mei Xue Yan. Consequently, she couldn't sense this pressure since she was well-protected… Therefore, she obviously didn't look as miserable as Fatty Tang.
Guan Qing Han and Mei Xue Yan also couldn't help but smile at the sight of this. Fatty's appearance could lighten-up anyone's mood no matter how gloomy they had felt. It was indeed very comical…
”Okay, this Young Master will personally take charge of things. I will heroically go out, and I will control them in a commendable manner,” Jun Mo Xie snorted. He then smiled with the attitude of an upright and unafraid hero.
Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly addressed in a contemptuous tone, ”Hmm, you are the host of this auction. So, its obvious that you'll have to control it. What good would you be if you can't even control it…! This is how it should be. But, you're still feeling so complacent about something so obvious…”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Mei Xue Yan smiled and said, ”You need to pay attention. This auction must be a low-key affair. Moreover, you ought to be aware of when you're supposed to stop. The people who've arrived here are very powerful. This makes me presume that people from the Three Holy Lands will also show up. In fact, I can sense the aura of a few old acquaintances of mine… This isn't the time for you to make money —you must be clear about this point! There will be big trouble if you provoke this crowd's anger. In fact, so many powers have gathered in Tian Xiang City right now that even I won't have any other option besides withdrawing in case they were join hands against you!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled as he nodded repeatedly, ”This is a bit extreme.” However, he had other plans in his mind.
[Don't make money? Then, what are we doing in this grand auction? Are we here to give them the pills as gifts? I'd rather feed these pills to the pigs!]
The Aristocratic Hall's gate was slowly opened as the sun started to rise in the sky! Two individuals appeared at the doorway. They were smiling whole-heartedly. Sixteen youngsters dressed in white clothes had been arranged in two rows at the entrance; they were stationed there to welcome the guests.
”The auction is about to begin. Please show your number plates to enter!”
The caliber of people who had come for the auction seemed very high this time. The Aristocratic Hall's gate wasn't opened in advance. But, it must be said that no one had seemed impatient; nor was anyone making a ruckus. It can't be said that there was absolute silence outside the gate. But, it was peaceful nonetheless.
The gates had been opened at this time, but the guests had still remained silent. In fact, nobody had budged. Instead, everyone was waiting calmly and quietly.
A massive burst of momentum showed up. Then, a cold breeze started to blow. The crowd in the front of the Aristocratic Hall started to separate, and a big strip of road was left vacant as a result. Five people in the black robes showed up. They then slowly walked to the front amidst the lowered murmurs of the crowd.
The old man heading the group was dressed entirely in black robes. In fact, it appeared as if his robes had been dipped in black ink. He had a purplish-golden belt around his waist. A purplish-golden scabbard was suspended around his waist via a purplish-golden cloth. His facial features were lean and simple. And, he was walking over step by step.
He was being accompanied by four people. And, they were also dressed similarly. But, the differences could be clearly seen if one were to look at them attentively. One side of this old man's purplish-golden belt was inlayed with three shiny and sparkling stars. His eyes were twinkling like that of a demon as was walking. Two of his four companions had two stars inlayed on their belts, while the other two had only one star.
It is worth mentioning that the two two-starred men were the Hurricane and Rainstorm Masters! The two earth-shaking swordsmen — Hurricane and Rainstorm Great Master!
However, the attitude of these two men had made it evident that the old man in the black robes held a higher status than them!
The old man was walking in a manner that made it seem as if he was floating. He was covered with black robes from head to toe. However, his robes weren't swaying as he was walking. Also, his robes weren't wrinkling in the process. He slowly raised his eyebrows as he arrived below the stairs. Then, he gently opened his eyes and smiled faintly. However, it seemed as if his eyes had contained the summation of the worldly vicissitudes.
Hai Chen Feng was the in-charge of welcoming the guests. However, he suddenly felt as if everything had gone dark before his eyes. Even his soul felt as if he was looking at the starry sky when he looked at this old man's eyes! He was left spell-bound for a moment. But, he then calmed himself, and managed to come back to himself with some effort. Then, he looked at the old man again. But, he felt normal this time. In fact, it seemed as if nothing weird had happened. He then heard the old man saying, ”This Old Man is Ning Wu Qing from the Elusive World of Immortals! I've arrived to participate in the auction!”
He handed over the number plate once he was done speaking. He had acted in complete accordance with the Aristocratic Hall's rules of entry.
Hai Chen Feng had never heard this name, but he had understood that this old man's was a remarkable individual. In fact, he had realized that this old man might be even stronger than his own master— Meng Hong Chen. However, he calmly accepted the number plate, and cupped his hands in greeting as he said, ”Senior, please come in!”
Then, a white-robed youngster came from behind, and led these five black-robed men into the hall.
Upstairs of the Aristocratic Hall; Mei Xue Yan sighed and said, ”This man is a three-star law enforcer from the Elusive World of Immortals — Ning Wu Qing!” she then lightly spat on the ground and said, ”He's devoid of any virtues and morals. He's merciless and ruthless!”
