Chapter 1937 - 1968: Turmoil Before Entering the Venue
Ye Feng and Green clearly heard all the conversations from the people on the street. Green, being a native of this place, naturally wouldn't pay much attention to what people said, as his cultivation makes him much more aware of the events happening here than those people.But Ye Feng was different.
While digesting those words, Ye Feng walked forward, eventually asking Green beside him, "Tell me about what you know."
"Yes, Senior."
Green responded and then explained everything he knew in detail.
"You're saying, this auction house isn't controlled by the Black Water Sect?" Ye Feng frowned slightly.
Apparently, this was somewhat unexpected for him. Initially, he thought the auction house was fully controlled by the Black Water Sect.
But now, it seems he was overthinking.
"That's right. Although the Black Water Sect is quite powerful, they are far from having the qualifications to control this auction house." Green respectfully replied.
"Then, which faction is controlling this auction house?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"That I don't know; I've only heard the power behind this is quite mysterious. Even the Elders from the Black Water Sect dare not act arrogantly at this auction." Green continued to answer.
Upon hearing Green's words, Ye Feng felt a sense of awe. It seems that the forces behind this auction must be extraordinarily powerful.
Otherwise, there is no way to keep the Black Water Sect firmly in check.
However, these matters aren't greatly relevant to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng and Green walked straight ahead, arriving at the entrance of the auction house. Seeing the lines of people waiting to enter, Ye Feng's eyes flickered.
These people entering all had cultivation levels not lower than the Xuan God realm, which surprised Ye Feng somewhat.
Moreover, the staff outside the auction house responsible for reception also had cultivation levels in the late Xuan God stage.
Just from these, it's enough to show the extraordinary scale and prominence of this auction house.
"Senior, should we go directly in or line up to enter?" Green asked from the side.
Indeed, looking ahead, there were some people who didn't need to line up and were directly invited into the auction house.
"What's required to qualify for direct entry?" Ye Feng asked.
"As long as the amount of Black Crystal reaches the level of a hundred thousand, you can enter directly and receive VIP treatment," Green explained.
Immediately, Ye Feng didn't hesitate and walked straight forward, with Green following behind.
Once Ye Feng reached the front doors, he attracted countless gazes, and even the reception staff aimed curious looks at Ye Feng.
Just as the reception staff with late Xuan God cultivation was about to say something, chaos suddenly erupted.
The sound of clamor rushed from the front, accompanied by shouting from behind.
"You little shrew, today I'll see where you can run. It's your fortune to catch my eye, and yet you dare escape, begging for punishment."
The irate voice triggered commotion among the crowd, and the person fleeing from the front was a young girl around eighteen or nineteen years old.
The girl wore black attire, her face pale, sweat beads falling, appearing rather disheveled.
Upon hearing the voice from behind, her body trembled, causing her forward speed to quicken.
Distracted by fear, she inadvertently collided with Ye Feng.
Green was furious and intended to react, but Ye Feng suddenly gestured, catching the girl's falling body.
The girl likely realized her mistake, especially sensing the imposing aura emanating from Ye Feng.
The girl showed a hint of panic, saying, "Junior knows my mistake; please, Senior, forgive me this once."
The hesitant words struck a chord with Ye Feng, who found compassion in his heart. His gaze softened as he looked at the girl.
"No problem, stay by my side. Today, I'll handle this matter for you," Ye Feng expressed calmly.
The girl was overwhelmed with gratitude, lifting her pale beautiful face, looking at Ye Feng in astonishment. She hadn't expected the Senior she bumped into not only didn't blame her, but also showed such protection, which deeply moved her.
The reception staff at the auction house entrance walked over, ready to scold Ye Feng and Green away.
Yet Ye Feng glanced at this person, and with just one look, the person's body shivered, cold sweat pouring as they halted and warily observed Ye Feng.
Then, silently returned to their original position, no longer tending to the affairs here.
After all, although the happenings here interrupted those trying to enter the auction house, it had little to do with the reception staff.
Getting involved with an unknown cultivator was clearly not worth the trouble.
In an instant, those disgruntled with the girl's actions dared not speak a word further.
Meanwhile, at the front, the chasing muscular men relentlessly yelled.
"You little b****. How dare you escape in front of me? You're courting death. I'll catch you and let you experience what it's like to be a woman. After I've had enough, I'll sell you for a little money, this is the consequence of not listening to me."
This voice made the girl's face turn extremely unpleasant.
Her heart, which had barely calmed, became frantic again.
Feeling helpless, she looked toward Ye Feng, his words echoed in her mind over and over.
She hoped Ye Feng would keep his promise and help her through this.
Ye Feng glanced casually, understanding the girl's thoughts clearly, "Just stay by my side; I'll handle everything."
This reassuring tone settled the girl's nervous heart, her anxious breathing quieting significantly.
"Thank you, Senior, for your assistance." The girl expressed her gratitude.
During the conversation, those shouting arrived before Ye Feng and the girl, their eyes like lanterns, sizing up Ye Feng.
Seeing the girl leaning behind Ye Feng, their coarse faces twitched, eyes flashing with murderous intent.
