At the edge of the Dark Demon Domain, atop a black barren mountain, there lied a majestic palace complex.
Above the main hall's doors hung a black plaque with three powerful and vigorous characters: "Scorpion King Mansion."
The entire Scorpion King Mansion was shrouded in light green demonic fog, exuding a sinister and eerie atmosphere.
Zhao Letian and Master Yu, after a rapid flight, finally landed in front of the Scorpion King Mansion.
"Scorpion King? Could it be that this person's Martial Soul is a scorpion-type Beast Martial Soul?"
Zhao Letian looked up at the plaque on the palace and curiously asked.
"That's right, this person indeed possesses a very powerful scorpion-type Martial Soul. However, in my view, his title of Scorpion King doesn't solely stem from his scorpion-type Martial Soul. More likely, it's because his nature is as venomous as scorpions and snakes; he kills mercilessly, without distinguishing between good and evil. Anyone he disapproves of is bound to die a tragic death."
Master Yu spoke gravely.
"Master is also willing to make connections with such a person?"
Zhao Letian frowned and said.
Even though he knew that in the Martial Arts World, people generally took light views of good and evil, mainly judging by strength, he still had his minimum moral standards and would never kill those unrelated to him without any reason.
"It's not really about making connections. There's no personal relation between us, just mutual benefits. I help him with alchemy, and he owes me a favor. It's as simple as that."
Master Yu shook his head.
"In that case, why are you so confident to visit him here?"
Zhao Letian said with a serious tone.
The gloomy and evil atmosphere inside the Scorpion King Mansion made him very uncomfortable and somewhat oppressed. If possible, he did not want to enter.
"It's one thing at a time. Haven't I mentioned? Although he is an Evil Cultivator who doesn't differentiate between good and evil, he does maintain the minimum credibility. Moreover, he has made a Heavenly Dao Oath in front of me that he definitely won't harm me. Since you are brought by me, naturally, he won't trouble you either."
Master Yu spoke nonchalantly.
"Well then, since you are confident, let's go in."
Although the evil air made him uncomfortable, he had to endure it temporarily for the sake of obtaining Heavenly Crystal Stones.
Master Yu nodded and led Zhao Letian straight to the palace doors.
As soon as they approached, a flash of light emerged at the entrance of the palace, revealing an Array Formation Light Shield.
"A second-level high-order Array?"
Zhao Letian's eyes sharpened.
The Array outside the palace was incredibly strong; with his current strength, it was impossible for him to break through.
That meant, should anything unexpected happen, he wouldn't be able to get out.
However, with Master Yu's strength, he should be able to easily break the Array Formation Light Shield, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Master Yu was very calm, his hand flashed with Spirit Light, producing a Token, which he directly tossed into the Array Formation Light Shield.
Immediatly after, a circular passage appeared on the Array Formation Light Shield.
Seeing this, Zhao Letian and Master Yu immediately stepped inside.
Soon, both of them arrived in a large hall.
By the time they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the hall.
However, compared to a normal auction with thousands of participants, there were only dozens of people in this hall.
But with a single glance, Zhao Letian could tell that everyone present had an extraordinary demeanor, they were indeed no ordinary people.
Especially those sitting in the front rows, who were all King-level Experts, rarely seen on normal days.
As for the rest, most of them were from the High-level Sect Martial Realm.
Only a few were in the True Martial Realm, just like Zhao Letian.
Moreover, coincidentally, among them, Zhao Letian actually recognized two people. This content originates from *, My Virtual Library Empire.
"Yu Wenhui? Xiao Yan?"
The three exchanged looks and surprise was evident in their eyes.
At the same time, the High-level Sect Martial Realm experts standing behind Yu Wenhui and Xiao Yan stared intently at Zhao Letian, their eyes flickering with a cold killing intent.
Master Yu frowned slightly and looked curiously at those men.
Before this, he had not met Yu Wenhui and Xiao Yan.
"Hmm, they are the geniuses dispatched by the Gray Wolf Kingdom and Skyfire Country to participate in the Imperial Secret Realm, and they are also my rivals."
Zhao Letian said with a bitter smile.
"Oh? It seems like today we are on a narrow path; this might be the last chance to act, and I guess we will use it up."
Master Yu's eyes flickered with anticipation.
He could see that Yu Wenhui, Xiao Yan, and their companions were filled with hostility towards Zhao Letian. After the auction, there would definitely be a story, and Zheng Letian might need his help.
By helping Zhao Letian one more time, he could win his freedom and obtain the Elixir recipe for the Life Extension Pill, something he was very much looking forward to.
Zhao Letian was speechless, seeing that Master Yu seemed to be eagerly hoping that Yu Wenhui and Xiao Yan would start a confrontation soon.
"Hehe, it's really coincidental. Just now I was worrying about when I could get a chance to seize back the Purple Lotus Demon Fire of my Skyfire Country, and unexpectedly, the opportunity has come knocking on my door so swiftly, Heaven truly favors me too."
Xiao Yan stared intently at Zhao Letian, a cruel cold smile on his face.
"It is indeed coincidental, a rural poor youth without any background has no qualification to compete with you for the position of Prince Consort; he should have been eliminated earlier. Today, I finally have a chance to act."
Yu Wenhui also coldly stared at Zhao Letian.
He had been defeated by Zhao Letian in the Gray Wolf Secret Realm, humiliated in front of everyone in the Royal Capital, which was a deep feeling of humiliation.
Later, during the Monarch's birthday, his presented gift was also outdone by Zhao Letian.
These two incidents had long made him harbor deep hatred towards Zhao Letian.
After today's auction, he intended to have a good reckoning with Zhao Letian.
As for Master Yu standing beside Zhao Letian, Yu Wenhui and Xiao Yan saw him, but they did not take him seriously.
Since the two of them were not from Dajin Country, they naturally did not know Master Yu, revered in the Royal Capital of Dajin, and treated him just as an ordinary Ninth Layer of the Sect Martial.
They needed to realize that both of them had brought more than one Ninth Layer of the Sect Martial expert today and could easily deal with Zhao Letian after the auction.
"Master, it seems they don't take you into consideration at all."
Seeing that Yu Wenhui and Xiao Yan didn't really pay any attention to Master Yu, Zhao Letian couldn't help but utter with some sarcasm.
"No matter, once the auction is over, if they dare to attack, I will make sure they get to know me well."
Master Yu said nonchalantly.
"Everyone is here, this auction can now begin."
Just then, a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask suddenly stepped forward and said indifferently.
