At the same time, the Second Elder of the Tianyang Sect was cultivating in his cave.

Zhou Donglin stared coldly at Qian Liao and Wang Zihao in front of him, his brows furrowed and his expression full of dissatisfaction.

The Second Elder Zhou Donglin and the First Elder Li Hengfeng have been engaged in open and covert struggles within the Tianyang Sect for many years, yet the Second Elder has never suffered a loss.

But this time, Zhou Donglin lost face in front of Li Hengfeng.

He's so angry he wants to kill someone!

Qian Liao could tell that his master was in a very bad mood, so he stood silently to the side without saying a word.

Wang Zihao, however, showed no tact whatsoever and stepped forward to ask, "Second Elder, are we just going to let this go like this? The First Elder is backing that guy up, but he won't..."

Before Wang Zihao could finish speaking, Zhou Donglin suddenly waved his hand.

Wang Zihao was immediately blasted away by Zhou Donglin's vast true energy, crashing into the cave wall of his cultivation cave and spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.

"If it weren't for you, how could I have lost face in front of that old scoundrel Li Hengfeng?"

"Wang Zihao, if it weren't for the fact that your father was kind to me, I would have slapped you to death by now!"

Zhou Donglin said angrily, his body radiating murderous intent.

Wang Zihao immediately knelt down, not daring to move an inch.

Qian Liao finally said, "Master, don't worry, there's still a long way to go. I don't believe we won't find a chance to get revenge on them."

Zhou Donglin's anger finally subsided.

Zhou Donglin then gave Wang Zihao a cold look and snapped at him without any politeness, "What are you still standing here for? Get out of here!"

Wang Zihao hurriedly came out of his cultivation cave, his expression extremely sinister.

"Feng Ye, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

"You just wait, I'll avenge this!"

After speaking, Wang Zihao took out a communication talisman from his storage ring and sent it out.

The message talisman immediately transformed into a golden light and headed towards the horizon, but it was unknown who Wang Zihao was contacting.

Night fell.

Ye Feng and Chen Yuanji arrived at the top floor of Tianhao Grand Hotel in Zhonghao City.

As soon as you step inside, a noisy atmosphere hits you.

The place had been transformed into an auction hall, with thick red carpets on the floor and many luxurious decorations on the walls and ceiling.

Most of the guests attending the auction have already arrived, including martial artists and ordinary people.

The ordinary people who were able to attend this auction were naturally not ordinary people; they were all dressed in gold and silver, and were clearly from wealthy families.

The auction had not yet started, and the guests in the hall were chatting and laughing.

The entire hall was filled with voices, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Chen Yuanji took out the invitation, glanced at it, and smiled, "Our seats are in the third row. Come on, let's..."

Before Chen Yuanji could finish speaking, a woman's voice came from behind him.

"Young Master Chen, Brother Feng, you've also come to this auction?"

Even without turning around, Ye Feng knew it was Gu Lingxuan's voice.

Gu Lingxuan's voice was clear and melodious, like the song of a lark; the night wind had long remembered her voice.

Ye Feng and Chen Yuanji turned around together and, sure enough, saw Gu Lingxuan walking towards them from a distance.

Tonight, Gu Lingxuan wore a pink dress and a gold hairpin, which added to her cuteness.

Chen Yuanji said with a smile, "We heard that there will be spiritual flowers, herbs and artifacts at this auction, so we came to take a look."

Gu Lingxuan nodded and said, "It's not just spiritual flowers, herbs, and artifacts, I've also heard that there will be demonic beasts being auctioned off at tonight's auction."

"A demonic beast? What rank?" Chen Yuanji asked with great interest.

"I don't know about that."

Gu Lingxuan smiled and shook her head.

Then Gu Lingxuan asked, "Which two seats are yours?"

Chen Yuanji pointed to his and Ye Feng's seats, and Gu Lingxuan said with a surprised look, "What a coincidence, I just happen to be right next to you!"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Chen Yuanji chuckled and led the way to the seats.

Chen Yuanji sat to Ye Feng's left, while Gu Lingxuan sat to Ye Feng's right.

Not long after sitting down, Gu Lingxuan said in a low voice, "Brother Feng, I'm feeling unwell again. Could you treat me tonight?"

Before Ye Feng could say anything, Chen Yuanji asked curiously, "Miss Gu, are you feeling unwell?"

"yes."

Gu Lingxuan nodded and explained, "My father and I were ambushed by Zhao Qishan, the number one poison master in Nanyue City, on our way to transport Shining Star Silver. Fortunately, Brother Feng was there, which is why we survived."

"However, I was unfortunately poisoned by Zhao Qishan at that time. Although Brother Feng helped me detoxify in time, I have always felt unwell since then. Perhaps it is the effect of the poisoning."

Chen Yuanji's eyes widened: "Such a thing actually happened? That Zhao Qishan has some nerve, daring to attack you."

“I was very indignant at the time, but he’s already dead at Brother Feng’s hands, so it doesn’t matter now,” Gu Lingxuan said with a smile.

Chen Yuanji seemed very curious about Zhao Qishan, the number one poison master in Nanyue City, and kept asking about the details.

Gu Lingxuan naturally answered all her questions without reservation, no matter what Chen Yuanji asked.

The night breeze frowned slightly.

In that battle, Ye Feng's poison skills and martial arts techniques had surpassed the level of a seventh-grade alchemist. It would be bad if Gu Lingxuan's words aroused Chen Yuanji's suspicion.

Ye Feng then interrupted, saying, "Although Zhao Qishan is very famous in Nanyue City, he is just a rogue cultivator. His title of First Poison Master is just flattery from others. In fact, that guy is nothing special. He is about the same as a sixth-grade alchemist."

"Is that so? It seems I overestimated him," Chen Yuanji said.

Chen Yuanji didn't ask any more questions, and Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Gu Lingxuan's expression changed slightly.

"Look, Wang Zihao is here," Gu Lingxuan said, looking at the entrance to the auction hall.

Ye Feng and Chen Yuanji looked over together and saw Prince Hao, dressed in brocade robes, stride in from the entrance and head straight for his seat.

Seeing that Wang Zihao's face was pale, Ye Feng said, "I've already detoxified him, so why does this guy look so bad?"

"That goes without saying, it was definitely Zhou Donglin or Qian Liao who dealt with him," Chen Yuanji laughed.

After a pause, Chen Yuanji added, "Zhou Donglin and Qian Liao have really good tempers. If it were me, Wang Zihao would already be dead!"

Ye Feng asked with a smile, "The Wang family is a prominent family in Zhonghao City. So, is the Wang family a first-tier or second-tier wealthy family?"

"They can be considered top-tier elite families."
