“Sure.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He could not bear to refuse the pitiful-looking Duan Qiao Yu.

Duan Qiao Yu was delighted and scooted next to Duan Ling Tian immediately. She held Duan Ling Tian’s arm with ease and placed her head on his shoulder.

Duan Ling Tian could feel her attachment to him, and he could sense her actions to him did not hold the special feeling between a man and a woman. It was rather like how Xue Nai was with him in the past.

Yu Qiu Xuan who was sitting further away hesitated briefly. She wanted to stop Duan Qiao Yu from acting too familiar with Duan Ling Tian but could not bear to do so. Her eyes shone with complex feelings as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and thought to herself, ‘I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes…’

The gloomy atmosphere in the room slowly dispersed once Duan Qiao Yu moved next to Duan Ling Tian and began to ask him questions.

“Brother, are you from Skywind City?”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and told her honestly that he was from a Devata Realm. However, he lied when he told her he had been in the Profound Energy Land for 1,000 years now. After all, he had changed his bone age to 2,700 years old now. It would be inappropriate for him to reveal that he had just recently come to the Profound Energy Land through the Realm Battlefield. How was he supposed to explain how he broke the barrier of the Realm Battlefield. Apart from that, he was also slightly wary of Yu Qiu Xuan since he found her too mysterious. He suspected she was stronger than a King of Gods and likely belonged to an emperor-rank force like the Glorious Heaven Sect. He could successfully pretend to be a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect in Descent Mountain City, but it would be impossible to do in Skywind City without being exposed.

“Wow! Brother, is it fun in the Devata Realms? Moreover, you’re not a native and actually ascended there!”

Duan Qiao Yu was very curious and did not hold back with her questions.

Yu Qiu Xuan, on the other hand, remained silent as though she knew everything about him or she did not care at all.

When the host presiding over the auction announced the commencement of the auction, Duan Qiao Yu finally stopped asking questions. She looked content as though being next to Duan Ling Tian and chatting with him were all she needed.

“It’s a full house. It seems like the lord-grade cultivation method is in high demand. Right, brother?” Duan Qiao Yu said with a smile as she looked out the window.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly. His attention was currently focused on an elegant beauty standing on a high platform. She was the host of today’s auction.

The beautiful woman had a pair of limpid eyes and seemed much more youthful than her age.

‘Zhou Yun…’

The woman had introduced herself as Zhou Yun earlier.

At this time, the crowd was discussing among themselves when they saw Zhou Yun.

“I didn’t expect the Zhou clan to select Elder Zhou Yun to host the auction. She’s one of the few advanced gods in the Zhou clan who’s about to break through and become a King of Gods.”

“This just shows how important this auction is to the Zhou clan. Previously, they would select an intermediate or an ordinary advanced god at most to host their auctions.”

“That’s not surprising! After all, they’re putting up the long-lost lord-grade cultivation method, the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique, up for auction today.”

“The Zhou clan is really bold to even put that lord-grade cultivation method up for sale.”

“They have no choice. It’d be even more dangerous if they’d kept it for themselves. Disaster will definitely befall them if words spread out about it. It’s almost impossible for king-rank forces to hold onto a lord-grade cultivation method like this.”

“That’s right. Let alone the Profound Energy Land, in the Eastern Ridge Mansion alone, there were many king-rank forces that were annihilated because of lord-rank cultivation methods.”

Although Duan Ling Tian knew about this, his heart still skipped a beat when he overheard the conversation. The Realms of Gods were much crueler than he had imagined. Just a mere lord-grade cultivation method was enough to cause the destruction of an entire force. He could only imagine the danger that awaited him if his Five Divine Elements, prominent divine artifacts, and supreme cultivation method were exposed.

At this moment, Zhou Yun swept her gaze past the audience before she bowed slightly and said, “There are many distinguished guests in our Zhou clan’s auction house today. I, Zhou Yun, would like to welcome everyone on behalf of the Zhou clan and Skywind City and thank everyone for participating in the auction.” Then, her voice turned slightly solemn as she continued to say, “I hope that regardless of whoever successfully bids for the lord-grade cultivation method, the others will refrain from making a move in the Zhou clan’s auction house, trading zone, and Skywind City.”

Silence descended as soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking.

The audience who were here just to watch the show felt chills running up their spines upon hearing Zhou Yun’s words. It reminded them of the possible bloodshed that would occur at the end of the auction. Regardless of whoever obtained the lord-grade cultivation method, the others definitely would not let it go so easily. If a large-scale battle broke out over the lord-grade cultivation method, Skywind City would inevitably be affected. Even if the lord-rank forces only sent Kings of Gods here to obtain the lord-grade cultivation method, the damages they could inflict would still be devastating.

At this moment, a loud and dignified voice rang from one of the rooms.

“Rest assured, Elder Zhou Yun. I, Murong Sui Feng from the Hidden Fog Academy, won’t stand on the sidelines and do nothing if people were to cause chaos in Skywind City.”

‘Murong Sui Feng!’ Duan Ling Tian had heard this name more than once since he arrived at Skywind City.

Murong Sui Feng was the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy. He was also one of the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Hidden Fog Sect. He had been a King of Gods for a long time, and there were rumors swirling around that he was now a Lord of Gods. However, no one was able to confirm the rumors so far. Perhaps, only he himself and the high-ranking officials in the Hidden Fog Sect knew the truth.

Zhou Yun smiled in relief upon hearing these words. “The Zhou clan and I are at ease with Dean Murong’s support.”

The crowd felt relieved as well after hearing Murong Sui Feng’s words. Then, they began to whisper among themselves again.

“I didn’t expect Dean Murong to attend the auction. It seems like there’s no need to worry about anyone trying to cause trouble during the auction or in Skywind City.”

“Dean Murong? Is it possible that the Hidden Fog Sect is interested in the lord-grade cultivation method as well?”

“I don’t think so. Skywind City is the Hidden Fog Sect’s territory, after all. Moreover, if they really wanted the lord-grade cultivation method, do you really think the Zhou clan wouldn’t give it to them?”

At this moment, an aged voice suddenly rang from another room.

“Murong Sui Feng, is the Hidden Fog Sect interested in the lord-grade cultivation method as well?”

Murong Sui Feng asked indifferently, “Who are you?”

“I’m Han Li Gang, the second elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect,” the old man replied.

“I’ve never heard of you before,” Murong Sui Feng said tonelessly, “I don’t think you’re worthy of speaking to me.”

“You!” A tall and burly old man dressed in a long black robe sprung to his feet immediately upon hearing these words. A terrifying energy surged out his body, causing his white hair to flutter wildly, and reduced the tables and chairs and in his room into ashes.

The two middle-aged men in the room with Han Li Gang hurriedly retreated and protected themselves from his fit of rage. They only looked at each other helplessly and sighed at his quick temper.

In the end, one of the middle-aged men said tentatively, “Second Elder, y-you’re not his match.”

“I know that!” Han Li Gang glared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged turned pale with fright.

The other middle-aged man hurriedly said before leaving the room, “Second Elder, I’ll get the Zhou clan’s people to replace the tables and chairs in our room.”

The 10,000 Devils Sect was a lord-rank sect like the Hidden Fog Sect. However, the two forces had always been at odds with each other. It was for this reason that Murong Sui Feng was not polite with his words to Han Li Gang. They were rivals, after all.. What need was there to be polite to one’s rival?
