Jiang Feng and the people beside him cast their gazes toward the doorway, only to see a graceful man and woman slowly strolling in. Their figures were tall and slender, striking like a majestic tree in the wind. The man's face was as handsome as a crown of jade, his eyebrows sharp and his eyes sparkling. His handsome features were unforgettable, and his every gesture exuded an elegant grace. The woman, with her eyebrows and teeth as white as the moon, was so beautiful that it could captivate a whole nation. Her every frown and smile exuded a captivating charm. Furthermore, they exuded an unparalleled aura of power, as if born with it.
The man's name was Song Yuansheng. His eyes were like those of a sharp eagle, deep and piercing. Just a glance from him could convey an invisible pressure that instilled awe. As for the woman, she was called Hu Qiushui. Her skin was whiter than snow, as translucent as fine mutton-fat jade. Her demeanor was elegant and refined, like a fairy detached from the mundane world. Yet, within this elegance, a subtle, cold beauty shone through, creating a sense of awe. Particularly striking was the enormous character "天" (sky) embroidered on each of their backs. The strokes were vibrant and vigorous, clearly the work of a master calligrapher.
Jiang Feng was amazed at this. Just from the aura these two displayed, it was clear they were no ordinary people. Especially their domineering aura made people dare not underestimate them, fearing that the slightest mistake would bring about fatal disaster.
At this moment, before Jiang Feng could react, Zhang Zhen, standing beside him, had already stepped forward with a broad smile on his face, bowed and said, "Oh my! It turns out it's Junior Brother Song and Junior Sister Hu from the Tianxing Sect who have come to visit us! You are truly honored to be here! However... this jade bottle has already been sold to this young friend. I wonder if you two would like to take a look at other treasures; perhaps there is something more to your liking!"
Song Yuanfeng glanced at Jiang Feng with disdain and said, "Isn't this jade bottle a fragment of the Demonic Blue Flame? My junior sister is a third-grade alchemist. I wonder if this fellow Daoist could be so kind as to sell it exclusively to us?"
Jiang Feng: "Sorry, this flame is indeed useful to me."
At this time, Hu Qiushui walked over, looked Jiang Feng up and down, and said in a cold tone: "Are you also an alchemist?"
Jiang Feng did not answer
Seeing Jiang Feng remained silent, Hu Qiushui angrily asked, "It would be a waste to give you this flame. You are not qualified to use it. I will pay you 20,000 spirit stones."
Jiang Feng glanced at the barbaric Hu Qiu Shui and said, "I won't sell it!" Then he turned and walked out the door.
Song Yuansheng suddenly stood in front of Jiang Feng and said, "Don't refuse a toast, kid. You know we are inner disciples of the Tianxing Sect!"
Jiang Feng scratched his head: "Tianxing Sect? I've never heard of it! Do you dare to rob it by force?"
Song Yuansheng was furious when he heard this. He was usually domineering, but this young cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Sect was so disrespectful to him. He mobilized his spiritual energy and attacked Jiang Feng with a powerful pressure.
Jiang Feng did not retreat. He mobilized his spiritual energy to resist the opponent's pressure and did not lose the upper hand at all.
At this moment, a cold snort spread throughout the store: "Song Yuansheng, do you not take my Tianbao Pavilion seriously?"
A wave of energy separated the two. Song Yuansheng looked at Zhang Zhen and said, "Brother Zhang, do you really have to intervene in this matter? This flame is very important to my junior sister. Please, Brother Zhang, do me a favor. Tianxing Sect will definitely remember this favor!"
Zhang Zhen replied: "Young friend is our guest at Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. We at Tianbao Pavilion must protect him. Please don't make things difficult for him."
At this time, another voice spoke up: "Is Tianbao Pavilion going to offend my Tianxing Sect for a kid?"
At this moment, an old man entered the shop. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, his face thin and his eyes sunken. He looked at Jiang Feng, and a surge of energy rushed towards him. Jiang Feng didn't have time to think, so he mobilized his spiritual energy and activated his Nine Transformations Golden Body to resist. In just a moment, Jiang Feng flew backward like a kite with its string cut off, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Feng struggled to stand up and stared at the old man who had injured him: "Who are you? Tell me your name! I will kill you one day."
The old man laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You little brat, you don't know your own limitations. I am Hu Yueming, the deputy mountain master of Tupo Mountain, one of the five mountains of the Tianxing Sect. If you know what's good for you, hand over the flames."
Song Yuansheng said proudly: "You should know that we are your heaven! We are an existence that you will never be able to understand."
Hu Qiushui also rolled his eyes at Jiang Feng: "A little Jindan stage kid dares to snatch Huo Yan from this lady. He doesn't know how to live or die. Second uncle, don't waste time talking to him, just kill him!"
Jiang Feng was not afraid. He memorized the faces of these people one by one. At this time, an object appeared in Jiang Feng's hand, which was the escape talisman.
"Hahaha, alas, when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. Since when did the Tianxing Sect become so domineering, pretending that other sects don't exist? Hu Laoer, even if your eldest brother came, he wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me. I'll give you ten breaths, either leave or die!"
This majestic voice came from far away, and Jiang Feng was startled. He had just checked in the backyard with Zhang Zhen, and there was no one there. In addition to this voice, this person must be above the Nascent Soul stage.
At this time, Hu Yueming's face was very ugly. He didn't want to die. He raised his hand and saluted towards the backyard: "Yueming was impulsive today, I hope senior will forgive me." After that, he took the two of them away quickly.
The three of them returned to the restaurant room, and Song Yuansheng asked, "Who is that person? Why is Master-Uncle so afraid?"
Hu Yueming said, "Don't ask too much. After the auction, that guy will definitely leave the city. Then..."
