Chapter 90: The Simulation Skills Show Their Power

Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, in the square outside the laboratory.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, a cold light flashed across his face, and he said, "Master, this matter is my fault for not disciplining them strictly. I will give you an explanation right now. Come, kill these seven people for me."

It was a simple sentence, but it was filled with endless murderous intent and majesty.

As Xu Tianran finished his words, a black shadow flashed out from behind him and appeared in front of Wang Shaojie and others like a ghost. Suddenly, a bone-chilling murderous aura burst out from him.

He was an old man with a hunched body, dressed in black, with gray hair and sharp eyes. No one had noticed him before, and his hunched back looked like he might fall down at any time.

The fierce murderous intent immediately made Jing Hongchen's face change drastically. The next second, several screams sounded at the same time. A bloody mark slowly extended from the throat of several people led by Wang Shaojie, and then, bright red blood spurted out.

"Shadow Douluo Xuechen?" Looking at the somewhat hunched figure in front of him, Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with a gleam of disbelief, and he frowned.

You know, strong people above the Soul King level can be said to be strategic existences no matter in which country. Killing seven of them at once is definitely not a trivial matter, but for Xu Tianran, he seems to have become accustomed to it.

Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man in black slowly raised his head, smiled at Jing Hongchen, and said, "I never thought that you, Hall Master, still remember Xue."

"Of course. Brother Xue's name was well-known back then." The surprise in Jing Hongchen's eyes had disappeared, and he said lightly.

The seven people on the ground were already stained with blood, but Xu Tianran didn't even look at them. He smiled and said, "Master, are you satisfied with my handling of the matter? If not, Tianran can still compensate the academy..."

"Haha, this is your imperial city's internal affairs, I dare not say anything." With a frown, Jing Hongchen bowed slightly to Xu Tianran and said, "No need for compensation. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will go back first."

"Wait a minute." Xu Tianran nodded slightly, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Master, I heard that Ju Zi's classmate just had a fight with the Royal Patrol, why can't we see him now?"

"Oh? Are you talking about Yan Xiao? He has already left the academy. As for where he went, I don't know either." His face changed slightly, and Jing Hongchen realized at this time that Xu Tianran came here actually for Xiao Yan.

"Okay, since Yanxiao is not here, Tianran will take his leave first. And please, hall master, convey the royal family's apologies to him on my behalf." After saying that, Xu Tianran turned his head to look at the servant behind him, and then the servant pushed the wheelchair out.

In the dark, Juzi watched the scene in front of her. She couldn't help but secretly admire Xu Tianran in her heart. With such a simple move, he not only showed his goodwill to Xiao Yan, but also dragged Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, into the water.

Because next, no matter whether Jing Hongchen admits it or not, the story will be spread differently. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got angry and killed a member of the Royal Patrol Team for a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Isn’t this just helping Jing Hongchen kill people?

.........

On a street in Mingdu City, Xiao Yan pulled a passerby over and asked about the location of the auction house in the city. The passerby who was pulled by Xiao Yan had a slightly impatient look on his face at first, but when he saw the badge of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy on the former's chest, he politely pointed out the location of the auction house to Xiao Yan.

"I hope there will be rare treasures here that can restore soul power. Even if not, an auction of water-attributed soul bones will be fine." With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Yan quickly turned the corner and walked towards the auction venue.

Mingdu is worthy of being one of the top big cities in Douluo Continent. The streets are bustling with people, and occasionally there are guards walking in an orderly manner. The neat sound of armor colliding with each other rings as crisply as a morning bell.

At this time, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, fourteen students from the inner and outer courtyards of Shrek Academy entered Mingdu. They walked aimlessly along the streets, looking at the appearance of the people around them.

Standing at the end of the crowded street, Xiao Yan looked up at the giant auction house in front of him and couldn't help but let out an exclamation. When he saw the Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City, he was still a little surprised by its scale. Unexpectedly, now that he came to Mingdu, he realized that the Treasure Pavilion was undoubtedly a far cry from this auction house called "Han Yue".

At the gate of Hanyue Auction House, several guards with indifferent faces stood there. Their hawk-like eyes kept scanning the people entering the auction house. From the faint aura emanating from them, it could be seen that they were all Soul Masters at the Soul King level, which immediately made Xiao Yan frown slightly.

Taking out a black robe from the soul guide and putting it on, Xiao Yan lowered his head slightly, and the shadow of the cloak completely covered his face. At his current age, going to the auction house, he did not think it was a wise move to expose his identity casually, so he found a black robe to put on.

Putting the black ruler behind him into his soul guide, Xiao Yan followed the flow of people, tightened his black robe, and then slowly walked towards the auction hall.

When Xiao Yan appeared at the entrance of the auction house, a dozen people walked over from the opposite side. They were Ma Xiaotao and others led by Zhou Yi.

"They are actually people from Shrek Academy. What are they doing in Mingdu?" Xiao Yan murmured in his heart, looking at Ma Xiaotao and others with a little surprise.

Looking at the black-robed man passing by her, Ma Xiaotao was slightly stunned for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she frowned slightly and said, "Why does the aura of this person give me a familiar feeling?"

Not only did she have such a feeling, but Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, Cai Tou and others also had the same feeling. They all looked at each other at the same time.

Could that person be Xiao Yan? But he was not sure.

But soon, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, followed the flow of people into the auction hall. A moment later, a huge auction venue appeared at the end of his sight. The densely packed seats around it made people dizzy.

He randomly found a spacious chair covered with fine plush and sat down. Suddenly, the soft touch made Xiao Yan want to curl up his body. Then, he stretched out his body.

At the same time, on the street outside the auction house.

"Ma Xiaotao, what's wrong with you? Have you discovered something?" Ma Xiaotao slowly withdrew her gaze. Beside her, Zhou Yi showed confusion on her face and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the aura of the black-robed man is somewhat familiar. It gives me a strange feeling of fear. He is a bit like Xiao Yan..." At this point, Ma Xiaotao frowned and said in a deep voice.

"What did you say? Xiao Yan?!" Zhou Yi's face changed drastically and she exclaimed.

Then, Zhou Yi waved her hand, signaling everyone to come to her. Seeing this, the students in the outer courtyard immediately took action, but the students in the inner courtyard seemed a little impatient. In terms of cultivation, Zhou Yi was also a Soul Emperor, just about the same as them, and she was a teacher in the outer courtyard. These inner courtyard students always only recognized strength, and did not have much respect for teachers whose cultivation was not stronger than theirs.

Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "Listen carefully, everyone. Ma Xiaotao just spotted a man in black robes walking into the auction hall in front. She felt that the aura of this man was very similar to Xiao Yan. There are fourteen people here besides me. I plan to send seven people in to get information. If you confirm his identity, do not act on your own. Release a signal flare immediately to notify the elders of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Before I left, I heard from Dean Yan that the two elders who followed us to Mingdu this time were the deputy dean of soul guides Xian Lin'er and Elder Song. With them here, even if Xiao Yan has great abilities, he probably won't be able to escape."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao waved her hand and said impatiently: "The seven people in the inner courtyard follow me in, and you stay outside."

"You..." Zhou Yi felt helpless after hearing this. Although she was the nominal leader, she was not as good as Ma Xiaotao in terms of cultivation. Naturally, she could not restrain the dean's disciple. In the end, she could only nod to show her agreement.

The next second, six people from the inner courtyard, led by Ma Xiaotao, rushed into the auction hall. However, as soon as they entered the auction hall, they were stunned by the almost huge crowds of people and the loud noise.

"Sister Xiaotao, there are so many people, how should we find her?" Looking at the crowded crowd, the muscles on Gong Yangmo's face twitched slightly, and he said in confusion.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and she said sternly, "Search separately. Dai Yaoheng will be in my group, Xixi and Ling Luochen will be in a group of two, and Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, and Gong Yangmo will be in a group of three. When you find the man in black robe just now, don't worry about anything, just go up and lift his black robe."

"If it's Xiao Yan, fire a signal flare immediately." As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao took out several portraits of Xiao Yan from her soul guide and handed them to everyone.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded slightly, and then immediately dispersed, searching for Xiao Yan in the huge auction hall.

…………

Sitting quietly in the chair, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, because he also sensed Ma Xiaotao's aura, and said coldly: "Damn, these guys from Shrek Academy, are they coming for me?"

"Forget it, it seems I can't attend the auction today. I have to slip away first. Otherwise, once I get stuck with these dog-skin plasters, it will be endless." Rubbing his forehead lightly with his fingers, Xiao Yan glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng who were approaching this side, and quickly stood up and quietly left.

As soon as he stood up, Xiao Yan's figure shrouded in a black robe was seen by Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, and then they hurriedly followed him.

Looking around, Xiao Yan headed towards the area with the heaviest flow of people, while Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng followed closely behind him.

"Stop! Who are you?" With a flash of her body, Ma Xiaotao flew in front of Xiao Yan, brushed the hair on his forehead that was blown by the breeze with her slender fingers, and said in a cold voice.

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's cold voice, Xiao Yan, who was shrouded in a black robe, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke in an old voice: "Little girl, I think you have recognized the wrong person, right? I am Yao Chen, who are you looking for?"

As these words fell, the black ring on Xiao Yan's finger suddenly flashed a white light and trembled slightly.

"The voice is wrong?" Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly and said to Dai Yuheng beside her in a deep voice: "Is it wrong?"

Dai Yueheng said: "The voice can be disguised, but the face is very difficult to fake." As he said that, Dai Yueheng slowly walked towards where Xiao Yan was.

He released the unique martial spirit of the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. His eyes also had double pupils, flashing with cold light and filled with a strong desire to fight.

Xiao Yan, who was covered in a black robe, spread his hands and pretended to be clueless. He warned, "What on earth are you going to do? This is the auction house of the Sun Moon Empire. If you dare to mess around, you will definitely not be able to leave safely today."

Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly and raised her hand. A ball of purple-red flame slowly condensed in her palm. She said calmly, "I'm sorry, old man. We are from Shrek Academy and are tracking down the whereabouts of an evil soul master. If it's convenient for you, could you take off your cloak and let us see it?"

"If you don't want to, then we have no choice but to offend you."

"Haha." With a sneer, Xiao Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were determined not to give up until they reached the Yellow River. He sighed and said helplessly: "I can take off my cloak, but what if I am not the person you are looking for?"

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao blinked her long eyelashes, and after a moment of silence, she whispered, "If we recognized the wrong person, we should apologize to the old man."

"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and a golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes. His body twisted slightly, and then he lifted up the black robe covering himself, and turned into a white-haired old man.

The old man was dressed in a white robe with fluttering sleeves. He had an aged face but seemed unusually kind. His deep eyes exuded an unconcealable wisdom, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life. He looked exactly like Yao Lao.

Just now, Xiao Yan activated his spiritual eye's second soul skill, simulation, which distorted space through mental fluctuations and was able to simulate himself into any form he had ever seen, including martial souls, soul rings, and appearance.

"It's not him? Did we really make a mistake?" Looking at the scene in front of them, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng's faces suddenly changed and they looked at each other in confusion.

"What? Do I know you? Remember what you said just now. If I am not the person you are looking for, you have to apologize to me." Xiao Yan smiled and began to speak in the tone of Yao Lao, pretending to be an otherworldly master.

Her beautiful eyes stared at the old man in front of her. After a moment, Ma Xiaotao reluctantly bowed slightly to him and said respectfully, "Sorry, old man, we got the wrong person. Sorry to bother you."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly without making any comment. Then, he walked directly to the door. But at this moment, two other figures appeared at the door of the auction house. They were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Xian Lin'er and Old Song.
