CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 625 FURY OF QIANYE FENG

He ran away, just like that!

Boulders fell from the sky, mountains crumbled, and the earth split open, as if it was the apocalypse.

It seemed as if a stone rain had descended from the heavens, along with several Cultivators falling and screaming, amidst deafening roars.

Qianye Feng’s face turned extremely ugly, Stone Mountain had been blown away, yet they were still trapped inside the mountain.

The Array Formation Shield at the cave’s entrance had not broken, Qianye Feng and those dozen or so Great Emperors could only stare helplessly as Lin Hao and Suansheng left in front of them.

"Report!"

Just as everyone was petrified, someone responsible for extinguishing the fire rushed over, his face covered in ash and dust, his clothes burnt with several large holes, he knelt at Qianye Feng’s feet: "Report, Chairman, the fire, we can’t stop the fire, my lord, you need to evacuate, it’s going to collapse!"

The warehouse is going to collapse?

Qianye Feng turned pale.

He clenched his fists uncontrollably and asked through gritted teeth, "How many auction items have been salvaged?"

"Not a single item from the warehouse was left, just some slaves who tried to escape were caught. They said, they said that the auction items in the warehouse were all smashed into a thing like a cauldron by that Earth man." The person reporting couldn’t even care to wipe the sweat off his face, occasionally looking back.

Inside the cave, it was glowing red, and the fire was growing stronger; if they were any slower, they would be trapped in the underground warehouse by the fire.

Qianye Feng had never been as furious as he was today.

Today was a rare grand auction at Thousand Needle Auction House, attended by influential figures, and the auction items were all valuable.

One or two items they could afford to lose, but now that everything was lost, how could they compensate? What could they use to pay? Even as grand as the Thousand Needle Auction House was, they couldn’t afford this loss!

Moreover, those unparalleled treasures in the secret chamber had all been stolen, a loss utterly incalculable!

Qianye Feng, overcome with extreme rage, nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

Despicable, detestable!

"Are there any Earth people, any Earth people!!" Right now, Qianye Feng just wanted to capture a few Earth people and kill them to vent his anger, never in his life had he been schemed against like this!

How could he have expected, that a room thought completely secure, would actually be blown apart!

How could he have expected, a situation that was supposed to be like catching turtles in a jar, has now turned around and trapped him instead?

"No, no, not a single Earth person." That minion didn’t even dare to look at Qianye Feng’s face, that intense rage made him unable to lift his head.

However, those dozen or so Great Emperors knew the Earth people had been packed into the Divine Cauldron by Lin Hao, but they also only dared to whisper among themselves.

Fire seemed to burst from Qianye Feng’s eyes. Right now, he wished he could chop Lin Hao into mincemeat!

"Chairman, what should we do now?"

The dozen or so Great Emperors also stopped attacking Suansheng’s Array Rune, each blinking, looking at Qianye Feng.

This time, Thousand Needle Auction House had suffered a great loss! Everyone could almost imagine Qianye Feng’s rage.

Qianye Feng’s expression was extremely grave.

What to do?

What could be done now?

"Track Lin Hao and Suansheng at all costs! I want them to regret today’s events for the rest of their lives!" Qianye Feng gritted his teeth and turned towards the warehouse.

The warehouse was almost collapsing due to the massive fire; red oil combined with Samadhi True Fire could melt even bricks and stones.

The fire was beyond saving. Qianye Feng walked past without even a glance.

As soon as he walked out from the scene of the fire, he was confronted by hundreds of Great Emperors.

"Qianye Feng! What about our goods?"

"They all burned, you at Thousand Needle Auction House need to give us an explanation!"

"That was all my belongings, lost at your Thousand Needle Auction House, you need to take responsibility!"

Qianye Feng hadn’t even had the chance to survey his surroundings when a mass of people surged forward, blocking his path completely!

These people were Great Emperors, from dozens of nearby nations, Loose Cultivators, and even founding Great Emperors. With so many of them, they were not afraid of Qianye Feng.

Already harboring a surge of anger in his heart, Qianye Feng felt even worse as he was blocked by so many Great Emperors upon stepping out.

"Qianye Feng, speak! My Qianji Umbrella is a Half Divine Artifact. If you can’t return it, you’ll have to compensate!"

"President Qianye, the Thousand Needle Auction House is a major business. You wouldn’t refuse to compensate for today’s matter, would you?"

"President Qianye, our possessions are worth at least a trillion..."

...

Various voices buzzed around Qianye Feng’s head like a swarm of flies, relentless and incessant.

Qianye Feng felt like his head was about to explode.

If he wasn’t afraid of inciting the wrath of the crowd, he might have lashed out and attacked these Great Emperors right then.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen!"

Finally, Qianye Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and forced a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Thousand Needle Auction House will not ignore this matter! We will certainly handle it! Please, calm down!"

"How will President Qianye handle this? We need an explanation!"

"Yes, we need an explanation."

The crowd finally quieted down a bit; everyone’s eyes were on Qianye Feng, waiting for what he would say next.

"Anyone with a receipt will be recognized! Rest assured." Qianye Feng gritted his teeth, the image of Lin Hao running away with the Divine Cauldron flashing through his mind. Not wanting to stay another second, he turned and left.

Though these Great Emperors had surrounded Qianye Feng, they didn’t dare to actually stop him when he decided to leave.

Fortunately, there were responsible individuals at the Thousand Needle Auction House who were quickly surrounded.

Meanwhile, Qianye Feng mounted his Exotic Beast Flying Mount and vanished into the horizon in no time.

Thousand Needle Forest, the capital of Thousand Needle Country, was actually not very far from Stone Mountain where the Thousand Needle Auction House was located.

Qianye Feng quickly landed at the Imperial Court.

With a grim expression, he strode towards the Imperial Palace.

The Qianye Family was indeed the Royal Family of Thousand Needle Country. Qianye Feng, merely the president of the Thousand Needle Auction House, was below the sovereign and elders in rank.

The incident at the auction house couldn’t be kept secret and had already spread to the Imperial Court.

Just as Qianye Feng reached the gates of the Royal Family, an eunuch was already waiting.

The eunuch, upon seeing Qianye Feng, immediately went up to him, his face stern, and unrolled a scroll of imperial decree without waiting for Qianye Feng to salute, and began reading:

"By His Majesty’s decree, the Commandery Prince Qianye Feng is to mobilize the Hundred Paths Army. Capture the thief within five days, failure is not an option!"

Qianye Feng was stunned; instead of receiving the decree, he tried to walk into the gate: "I need to see the Great Emperor."

"The Emperor has entered seclusion, Your Highness. Please mobilize your troops to capture the thief promptly," the eunuch moved quickly, blocking Qianye Feng’s path.

Qianye Feng was startled and then enraged: "This isn’t just some petty thief!"

"The Emperor only mandates capturing the thief. Your Highness, you’d do better to pursue that than argue with a servant."

The eunuch stood still, and Qianye Feng was nearly exploding with rage!

A thief?

Has there ever been a thief more powerful than a God?!

Stone Mountain couldn’t even be breached by a God, yet it was smashed by Lin Hao with a cauldron!

Could the Hundred Paths Army capture such a thief?

Qianye Feng’s nostrils flared with fury.
