Inside the VIP room, Xiao Wu's previously languid expression suddenly froze, and her delicate nostrils twitched slightly.
For the first time, fear showed in her big, bright eyes, and her small body even trembled uncontrollably.
This aura...
This suffocating sense of oppression...
She felt it!
I've definitely felt it!
In Xiao Wu's mind, a blurry fragment of memory suddenly became clear.
That was before, in Nottingham, there would be occasional moments when she would feel a faint sense of being watched.
The feeling was extremely subtle and fleeting, leading her to believe for a moment that it was just her imagination.
But now, the aura emanating from this black-robed man is so similar to that spying aura!
Even more intense, even more direct!
"It's him!"
"It must be him!"
Xiao Wu almost cried out, but the immense fear drained her of the strength to even open her mouth!
In the blink of an eye, another unexpected event occurred in the auction house!
"Protect the auction items!"
"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you cause trouble at the Qibao Auction House!"
Amidst the angry shouts, more than a dozen figures surged out from every corner of the auction house like a tidal wave, moving at an astonishing speed.
Their uniform attire identified them as the guards of the Qibao Auction House.
The leader, a burly man with a resolute face, was none other than Wang Wei.
"Buzz—"
As the soul power surged, the sound of air fluctuations arose.
On Wang Wei's body, seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—suddenly lit up, and an aura of a Soul Saint powerhouse instantly swept across the entire arena.
Behind him, the dozen or so guards also simultaneously released their martial spirits and spirit rings.
A uniform group of Soul Kings!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple/black!
The five identical spirit rings indicated that each of them possessed spirit power of level fifty or higher.
More than a dozen Soul Kings, plus a Soul Saint captain!
Powerful fluctuations of soul energy intertwined, completely surrounding the man in black robes.
"Who are you? Put down your things and surrender!"
......
The people in the auction hall were once again deeply shocked.
"My goodness! When did Qibao Auction House get such a strong security team?"
"I remember a month ago, the guards here were temporarily borrowed from the Soto City garrison, right? The highest-ranking one was only a Soul Master!"
"A Soul Saint leading the team, with over a dozen Soul Kings as members? That's an incredibly extravagant gesture!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Who would have thought that this seemingly insignificant branch in Soto City actually harbors such a powerful protective force?
However, upon further reflection, everyone felt that this made sense.
"After all, this is a place where even something as precious as the Water of Life can be auctioned off."
"If you don't have real skills, how can you keep the situation in check?"
"However, this man in black robes is really stubborn. He dares to make a move here. Isn't he just openly trying to break ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... that's one of the top three schools, the number one support-type school in the world, and its wealth is unimaginable."
"If I offend them, I'm afraid I won't be able to move an inch in the Douluo Continent in the future."
The discussions were tinged with a sense of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
Inside the main room, Ning Liu frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"Tonight is indeed going to be turbulent."
Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose eyes had been slightly closed, opened them, and a sharp sword intent flashed by.
"Do you need my help?"
Chen Xin's voice was calm, yet it carried a murderous aura.
Ning Liu shook his head slightly.
"Elder Jian, please calm down."
"Let's see how things go first."
Ning Liu cast his gaze across the arena, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, and continued:
"Although this person acts arrogantly, he is probably not a brainless person."
"Knowing that this is the property of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they still dared to make a move. They either have something to rely on or they have other plans."
"Those who can cultivate to the level of Soul Douluo, or even Title Douluo, are all shrewd and powerful figures."
"Surely we wouldn't lower ourselves to such an extent and completely offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School just for a mere bottle of Water of Life?"
"If the opponent is only a Soul Saint, my Royal Guards are, after all, level 75 defensive Soul Saints, and I also have more than a dozen Soul Kings assisting me. Perhaps they can handle it."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo slowly withdrew his sword intent and sat down again.
He agreed with Ning Liu's assessment.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still carries considerable weight on the continent.
On the auction stage, facing the pressure and encirclement of Wang Wei and the others' soul power, the man in black robes remained still.
He didn't even release his spirit rings, as if those dozen or so spirit kings and spirit saints were no different from air in his eyes.
Then, a hoarse, low voice came from under the black robe, carrying a hint of impatience.
"I only have this for this."
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Get out of the way!"
These eleven simple words exude a chillingly domineering aura.
These words caused another uproar among the crowd.
"What an arrogant tone!"
"Who does he think he is? How dare he say such things in front of a Soul Saint and more than a dozen Soul Kings?"
Some people couldn't help but chuckle.
However, some astute individuals detected an unusual undertone in the black-robed man's calm tone.
"This person...could he have some kind of background?"
"Could it be a powerful figure from some reclusive sect? Or some lone bandit?"
