Chapter 110 Top Auction, Body Sect

An atmosphere of deathly silence enveloped the square. After a moment, Xiao Yan actually walked towards the White Tiger Duke. As he walked forward, the White Tiger guards around him immediately became nervous, and dazzling spirit rings circled up from under their feet.

"My Lord Duke, we are currently in the middle of a major competition. Are you planning to attack me today?" Xiao Yan raised his head slowly and glanced at the Duke of White Tiger, who seemed ready to take him down at any moment. He frowned slightly and said.

"Humph, you are so brave." Upon hearing this, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao sneered and shouted, "Xiao Yan, Shrek Academy has confirmed that you were the one who killed Dai Huabin. Do you still want to deny it now?"

"Where's the evidence?" Xiao Yan sneered.

In Xiao Yan's heart, Dai Hao was not worthy of being a father. If he admitted his identity and explained to the latter why he killed Dai Huabin, perhaps Dai Hao would be able to understand what he did. However, he was Xiao Yan, not Huo Yuhao.

With Xiao Yan's personality, he would absolutely disdain to acknowledge this father. At the same time, Dai Huabin and the Duchess must die no matter what. Can the hatred of killing his son and the future hatred of killing his wife be reconciled?

Dai Huabin is already dead, and the Duchess will also have to die in the future. The conflict has reached a point where it cannot be reconciled.

In this way, Xiao Yan can only go down this path to the end.

Dai Hao said coldly: "Since you didn't kill my son, why did you secretly leave Shrek Academy after Hua Bin died? There was a conflict between the two of you at Shrek Academy. No matter how you argue, you are the biggest suspect. If these are all coincidences, then aren't they too coincidental?"

The confrontational words made Xiao Yan and Dai Hao the new protagonists in the square in an instant. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, and their gazes were filled with a mixture of horror and astonishment.

"Why did Xiao Yan want to kill the son of Duke Baihu?"

"Is there some grudge between them?"

"Didn't you hear me just now? I told you that Xiao Yan had a conflict with the Duke's son when he was in Shrek Academy. It must be because of something that happened in the academy."

"This is Xingluo City. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Zhu family are very powerful. I think Xiao Yan will not be able to escape today."

After the competitive atmosphere in the field continued for a while, Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced at Dai Hao. He seemed to understand that Dai Hao did not intend to let him leave today. He felt a little impatient and sneered, "What? Are you planning to keep me here today? But do you have the strength to do so?"

"I have already told you that in three years, I will go to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in person to seek justice for everything."

Hearing this, Dai Hao frowned slightly and said angrily: "You killed my son, and you want to seek justice from me? Come, arrest him!"

As Dai Hao finished his words, the White Tiger guards behind him suddenly shot out, their soul power surging, and as they moved, they instantly surrounded Xiao Yan. Without any nonsense, dazzling soul rings circled up from under their feet, and in an instant they completed the martial soul possession, and then pounced towards Xiao Yan.

The White Tiger Guards were the personal guards selected by Dai Hao from the best soldiers in the army. In terms of strength alone, they were at the upper level in the army. They cooperated with each other very well, and usually more than a dozen of them attacked at the same time, which was difficult for even the Soul Emperor-level warriors to resist.

"Go away!"

Looking at the White Tiger guards who were rushing towards him from all directions, Xiao Yan's face turned cold and he let out a fierce shout. He gripped the handle of the ruler tightly and swung his arm. The huge Xuanzhong ruler began to rotate in a crescent shape.

The black giant ruler brought with it a powerful energy that spread out from Xiao Yan's foothold. Amid the whistling wind, crisp sounds of metal colliding continuously rang out in the square where the figures touched each other, and the weapons in the hands of the White Tiger Guards were all chopped off.

The next second, these White Tiger guards retreated violently, and their feet slid on the ground for more than ten meters before they slowly stopped.

At this moment, an old man in a red robe fell from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Yan. He was not tall, strictly speaking, he was short and fat, and had a beard. He was the master of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen.

Looking at Duke Baihu, Jing Hongchen's face gradually darkened, and he said coldly: "Duke Baihu, what do you mean by this? Now is the time of the competition, and you attacked my students. Are you afraid that my Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will win the championship?"

"Master Mingde, Xiao Yan killed my son, shouldn't I arrest him?" Anyone could probably hear the anger in Dai Hao's voice, but there was also a hint of fear in it.

Back in the Mingdou Mountains, Xiao Yan's display of strength comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, as well as his 100,000-year-old soul beast-level pet, also left Dai Hao with lingering fears. Otherwise, he would have taken action himself long ago.

But no matter what, shouldn’t he avenge his son?

Raising his hand and patting Xiao Yan's shoulder, Jing Hongchen nodded to the former and said, "Xiao Yan, you step aside first. Leave today's matter to me."

After saying this, Jing Hongchen did not wait for Xiao Yan to say anything more, but turned around and cast his gaze towards the middle-aged man on the top of the imperial city, wearing a bright yellow robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown on his head, and said: "Your Majesty, now is the time for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. In my opinion, if you have any private matters, you can wait until the competition is over."

"What do you think?"

"If the Duke insists on touching my students during the competition, I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

"If anything happens to Xiao Yan today, our Mingde Hall will definitely not stand idly by. If I die here, the two countries will definitely go to war!"

Upon hearing that the two countries might go to war, Emperor Xingluo was shocked. He couldn't believe that Jing Hongchen would be so partial to this student named Xiao Yan. If the two countries went to war over this matter and caused great suffering to the people, it would definitely be a loss, and this was not what he wanted to see.

The most important thing is that with the current military strength of the Sun-Moon Empire, they cannot defeat the Star Luo Empire alone. The other two countries will not get involved in the war just for the death of the White Tiger Duke's son.

It seems that if a war really breaks out, the Xingluo Empire will definitely be defeated.

"You..." Hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Dai Hao frowned immediately, slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves, his eyes became slightly gloomy, and he panted like a cow.

After a moment, Emperor Xingluo slowly stood up, looked at Dai Hao with a smile and said, "My dear brother, now is the time for the competition. If we rashly attack the students from the Sun Moon Empire, I am afraid we will be criticized by others."

"How about this, let's put your family's private affairs aside for now, and it won't be too late to deal with them after the competition is over."

Dai Hao exhaled lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. After a long while, he nodded, staring at Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then everything will be up to your majesty."

Dai Hao is not a fool. Last time in the Mingdou Mountains, Xiao Yan showed strength comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, and he also had a pet that was comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Now, Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen is also trying his best to protect Xiao Yan. In addition, it is now the period of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Even if Dai Hao has great abilities, he does not have the strength to capture Xiao Yan and bring him to justice at this time.

In order to avenge his son, Dai Hao's only choice now is to seek external help, and this external help must have a grudge against Xiao Yan.

Dai Hao took a few steps back before turning around and leaving. "Father...are you just going to let this go?" Seeing Dai Hao's humiliation, Dai Yaoheng quickly walked up to him and said unwillingly.

"Shut up!" Dai Hao shouted coldly with a gloomy face, "Who told you to just let it go? Given my current situation, it's probably difficult for me to capture Xiao Yan to avenge Hua Bin. By the way, didn't they say that Master Xuan is also coming to Xingluo City?"

"Why didn't you see him?"

Dai Yaoheng replied respectfully: "Master Xuan went out last night and I don't know where he is now. Father, do you mean..."

Dai Hao's face looked a little unhappy. He clenched his fists again and again. After thinking for a moment, he said to Dai Yuheng, "I will go to Shrek Academy later. Apart from seeking help from Poseidon Pavilion, I am afraid there is no better choice. You must perform well in the next game and don't bring shame to my Dai family."

After saying that, Dai Hao left the square with the White Tiger Guards.

With the departure of Dai Hao, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition continued. However, this time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy replaced Xiao Yan, while the Shrek Academy did not choose to continue the competition, but rarely gave up. In the end, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the battle.

...............

The night is like a silver plate, with stars all over the sky.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, Xiao Yan formed a strange seal with his hands on his chest, slowly closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

Although Xiao Yan won easily by defeating three people from Shrek Academy in this match, it also consumed a lot of his fighting spirit. The time for regulating his breathing passed in a flash, and when Xiao Yan woke up from his training, it was already dark outside the window.

"I didn't expect that Dai Hao would come back at this time. I said I would go to Xingdou Great Forest for training after participating in this competition."

"But if I leave now, he will definitely cause trouble for the Sun Moon Soul Instructor Academy. This matter..."

Slowly exhaling a breath of foul air, Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead and said speechlessly.

With his hands on the bed and a slight effort, Xiao Yan's body flashed out, then landed steadily on the ground. He clapped his hands lightly, feeling quite satisfied with his recovery speed.

"crunch..."

Shortly after Xiao Yan got out of bed, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Yan raised his head and saw that the person coming was Jing Hongchen.

Looking at Xiao Yan, Jing Hongchen was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Little guy, I'm afraid you're in trouble this time. If you had told me earlier that you killed the son of Duke Baihu, I would not have let you come to Xingluo City with me."

When Xiao Yan first went to the Sun Moon Empire, he concealed his identity and used the alias Yan Xiao. He only told Jing Hongchen his true identity not long ago.

"Haha." Xiao Yan laughed and looked at Jing Hongchen's face which suddenly became a little solemn. He was stunned for a moment, and then said humorously: "Old sir, didn't you say last time that you would help me even if I wanted to kill the White Tiger Duke?"

"Uh..." After an awkward smile, Jing Hongchen waved his hand and explained, "After all, this is someone else's territory. If it were in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Duke of White Tiger dared to come to me, I would definitely be able to lend you a hand."

"But if we really start fighting here, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

Xiao Yan's face was calm, and he was not moved at all by Jing Hongchen's words. Now Yao Lao had recovered to his peak condition. Let alone the White Tiger Duke Dai family, even if Shrek Academy put all its efforts to encircle and suppress him, he would not be afraid at all.

If Xiao Yan did not want to rely on his own strength to avenge his mother, he would have dared to rush to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and kill the Duchess on the spot!

At this moment, a charming female voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Excuse me, I'm a waiter at the Starlight Auction House."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Jing Hongchen frowned slightly and asked vigilantly.

Hearing this, the woman outside the door said calmly, "Old sir, the last time you came to the auction house, you learned that we would be holding a top auction soon, so you left your address. Seeing that it was the address of the Star King Hotel and the way you were dressed, I guessed where you came from. The boss of our auction house asked me to distribute invitations to you. If you are free tonight, you are welcome to attend the auction tonight. I believe there will be something that will interest you."

"Top auction?" After hearing the news, Jing Hongchen walked over and gently opened the door.

I saw a woman in a black dress standing outside the door. She looked to be around 28 or 29 years old, which is the age when a woman has a mature charm yet still retains a youthful aura.

Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen both knew her. She was the auctioneer, Qingya, who was at the auction that day.

Qingya took out a stack of invitations and placed them on the table. Then she bowed again with a smile and said, "I won't bother you any more. Sorry again." As she spoke, she slowly backed away, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Jing Hongchen picked up the invitation and took a look at it. He was surprised. The items on it were almost all rare treasures. He said, "It is indeed a top-level auction. Xiao Yan, do you want to come with me to take a look?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan was quite interested in the auction. After all, the rare treasures there were essential materials for alchemy. He nodded immediately.

Under the guidance of Jing Hongchen, Xiao Yan soon arrived at the Starlight Auction House again, but just as they were about to go upstairs, they were blocked by someone.

"Huh?" Jing Hongchen was walking in front and his way was blocked by someone. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and looked up at the other person.

They were two men, both with ordinary looks, but with strange figures. One has a particularly thick right arm, while the other has a thin body and a huge head, like a big-headed doll.

His expression changed slightly. Jing Hongchen thought that the two people in front of him were from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way! Otherwise..."

Hearing this, the man with strong arms said, "You can go, but this little guy has to stay. Let's talk to him." This man spoke in a muffled voice, and although he was obviously trying his best to suppress it, he still exuded a terrifying aura.
