dyguard chief let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted. The shrill howl combined with the brutal methods left those around him feeling a chill down their spines. They nev...Hearing someone calling his name, Ye Bufan turned his head and saw a woman in red sitting beside him. She had three sky-high braids on her head, it was Qin Mu Yue, the young witch of the Qin family.

"So Qin Miss is here too."

Ye Bufan had a good impression of this woman. She had helped him out before, so he walked over and sat beside her.

He reached out and pulled out a lollipop, handing it over. For some reason, he felt like this thing just fit the woman's image perfectly.

"What is this"

Qin Muyue had never seen this thing before, and she was somewhat curious about it.

"Delicious, lollipop."

"Looks good."

Upon hearing it was edible, a sparkle flashed in the little witch's eyes. She then removed the wrapping paper and tasted it.

"So sweet, not bad, not bad!"

Qin Muyue was also a foodie, she crunched and swallowed the lollipop in three or two bites.

If Ye Bufan hadn't stopped him in time, he would have swallowed even the plastic stick below.

"This can't be eaten."

Ye Bufan threw away the candy stick below and then took out another one. "This thing is meant to be sucked on, that's how it tastes best."

"So many rules"

Qin Muyue took it in her hand, this time she didn't chew it directly, but slowly savored it.

"The taste is really good."

The little girl nodded happily, sucking on her lollipop.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. He didn't have any other reason, he just thought that the lollipop looked especially good with the three sky-piercing pigtails.

Qin Muyue ate with great satisfaction and patted Ye Bufan on the shoulder: "For your sake, candy. If you have any trouble in the future, just find me, I'll protect you."

Okay!

Ye Bufan didn't mind these things either. More friends meant more paths, and he took out another big bag of candy sticks and gave them to the little girl.

At that moment, a roar erupted from beside me.

"Ye, you're here!"

Ye Bufan looked up and saw Han Lingkuang leading a few people to the marketplace, his eyes fixed on him.

This young master of the Han family hated Ye Bufan to his core, so after entering, he immediately spotted him, not even noticing Qin Muyue beside him.

"So it's Young Master Han. Are you here to attend the auction as well"

Ye Bufan greeted with a cheerful smile, as if he were seeing an old friend.

"Kid..."

Han Lingkuang was about to say a few harsh words when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from beside him.

Turning my head, I met Qin Muyue's sharp gaze.

"Hey, Little Korean Boy, what are you looking at"

Qin Muyue was still incredibly domineering.

"Uh..."

Facing his nemesis, Han Lingkuang's anger immediately vanished, replaced by a wide smile.

"It's alright, it's alright, Mu Yue Xianzi is here too. I just wanted to say hello."

After he finished speaking, he immediately ran to a spot nearby and sat down far away.

As soon as he left, another figure appeared at the door. Upon seeing Ye Bufan, his eyes instantly turned sharp and filled with hatred.

Ye Bufan was a bit helpless. It seemed that the position he chose wasn't very suitable. He was right facing the door, so whoever entered would see him first.

This man I've never seen before, but his eyebrows and eyes resemble Zhao Xingyun quite a bit. He must be from the Zhao family.

He guessed right; the arrival was Zhao Xinfeng, the core disciple of the Zhao family and Zhao Yun's younger brother, a powerful Immortal Monarch.

Zhao Xingyun's primordial spirit was taken back. Normal possession and rebirth is relatively easy, but to achieve the best effect and retain as much cultivation as possible is very troublesome.

The Nine Nether Blood Lotus being auctioned tonight could just increase one's blood qi and enhance the effects of rebirth. Zhao Qinglian brought Zhao Xingyun here to participate in the auction with the intention of bringing this immortal herb back home.

I didn't expect to see Ye Bufan as soon as I walked in. It's really a sight for sore eyes when enemies meet.

If it weren't for the man in front of me, my brother wouldn't have died, the Zhao family wouldn't have been eliminated, and wouldn't have lost all face.

"You little brat with the surname Ye, you wait! My Zhao family will never let you off!"

Zhao Xinfeng wished he could slap the person in front of him to death, but this was Yuangu City, the Zhexing Tower, so he could only suppress his anger.

"Zhao, what are you doing Are the Zhaos unable to afford a loss"

Qin Muyue let out a loud shout, which immediately drew the attention of countless pairs of eyes.

Zhao Xinfeng glanced at her, his expression faltering for a moment. This young miss Qin was someone he couldn't afford to provoke either.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he let out a cold snort and glared fiercely at Ye Bufan before striding toward the seat next to him.

As everyone was about to turn their attention away, the door swung open and five more people walked in. Leading them was none other than Jian Juechen, the master swordsman of the Si Fang Sword Sect.

Behind him were Du Wujue, Yan Wuqing and a few others.

Without exception, as soon as they entered, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Bufan.

"What a coincidence, it seems we're destined to meet."

Ye Bufan touched his nose, feeling helpless. He never expected that an auction would bring together all of his enemies.

"Ye, I'll be waiting for you on the stage. Hope you live to see that day."

Jian Juechen finished speaking and, with a few people, sat down in the nearby seats.

Qin Muyue was sucking on a lollipop: "You're not very capable, but you sure are good at stirring up trouble. You have quite a few enemies."

Ye Bufan let out a sly chuckle. "Scared, are you If you're scared, just give me back the lollipop."

Qin Mu Yue glared, the three sky-piercing staffs on her head swaying constantly: "Kidding This old lady is afraid of who Let alone these few broken things, even if there were more, I wouldn't be afraid."

As they were speaking, the auctioneer from Zhāxīng Lóu stepped onto the podium, and the auction officially commenced.

Welcome to my Stargazing Pavilion...

After a few brief pleasantries, the auctioneer, beaming, announced, “Now, esteemed guests, let me inform you that there has been a last-minute change to today’s auction catalogue. Two additional treasures have been added.”

"What treasure is it"

"What exactly is it Can we take a look first..."

Now everyone's interest was piqued. While it wasn't unheard of for an auction to add items last minute, it was definitely rare, and each time they pulled out something heavy-hitting.

"Distinguished guests, please allow me to keep this a secret for now. You'll find out soon enough."

The auctioneer announced the results, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity, and then officially started the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our first item up for auction today is a heavy hitter, as you can all see. It's a Ninth Rank Immortal Spirit Herb, the Blood Lotus of the Nine Hells..."

Generally speaking, auctions are accustomed to placing heavyweight lots at both the beginning and end. Today is no exception. Zexinglou placed the Blood Lotus of the Nine Netherworld as the first item up for auction.

At this moment, a waiter carried a tray onto the auction stage and removed the red cloth covering it. A blood-red lotus, as large as a plate, appeared before everyone.

The Blood Lotus of the Nine Netherworlds, although far away, one could still clearly feel the thick blood qi emanating from it.

That rich, blood red hue made it seem as though the entire lotus had been watered with blood.

The auctioneer said, “Alright, now the bidding begins. The starting price is five million mid-grade Xianjing, and each increase must be at least 500,000…”

"I'll put in 10 million..."

As soon as the auction began, Zhao Xinfeng from the Zhao family immediately made a move, doubling the price.

He came for the Blood Lotus of Nine Hells this time, so he made his intentions clear from the start.ought you were a coward, hiding your head like a turtle. But today, you've finally dared to stand up! Prepare to be cut into a thousand pieces!"At this point, he roared once more at the Qingye King Ci...
