Liao Qingfeng immediately remembered that voice—it was the same voice from the masked man yesterday!

He had wanted to capture that man and kill his entire family, and was worried about not knowing his whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he was right here at the auction house, in the room next to his.

What a small world!

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Xue Wuqing asked curiously.

"Heh, the one who just bought the staff is the masked man who injured me yesterday," Liao Qingfeng said with a cruel smile.

"Daring to offend me and still come to the auction, he really doesn't know the meaning of death." Liao Qingfeng glanced at the room next door and signaled with his eyes.

Xue Wuqing immediately understood. He released his soul power to probe over, wanting to find out more, but was blocked by a shielding formation.

"A formation master?"

Xue Wuqing frowned, then struck out with a palm in mid-air. A massive blue palm of True Qi formed and, with a roaring sound, smashed into the room next door.

Boom!

The wall was instantly smashed into a large hole, and the True Qi palm swept across, collapsing most of the room. The shielding formation set by Xiao Long was also destroyed in one blow.

Xue Wuqing, taking advantage of the situation, didn't let up. The True Qi palm seemed to have eyes as it charged towards the mask on Huang Mao's face. Huang Mao raised the dark staff and struck out, instantly dispersing the True Qi hand. However, at the same time, he was thrown to the ground by the immense force, crashing into several tables along the way, looking quite disheveled.

The auction house fell silent in an instant, with everyone's eyes turning towards this scene, watching in bewilderment.

Why did Xue Wuqing suddenly make a move?

When the dust settled, people saw a masked man in tattered clothes kneeling among the room's wreckage, holding the dark staff he had just bought.

"Xue Wuqing! What is the meaning of this?" Li Wei was slightly annoyed. Making a move in the auction house was like slapping him in the face.

"Nothing much, just curious about what the person who bought the staff looks like," Xue Wuqing said indifferently, giving a reason that wasn't really a reason.

People were speechless inside. What does it matter to you what someone looks like?

"Xue Wuqing, this is the Qianlong Auction House, not your Fire Cloud Sect. Please respect our bank's rules!" Li Wei said with a steady face.

Making a move at the auction, according to the rules, should result in being expelled from the auction house, never to participate in a Qianlong Bank auction again.

But the other party was Xue Wuqing, the top person below the innate level in the Fire Cloud Sect, with a high status. Although he wasn't much to the Qianlong Bank headquarters, at the Fire Cloud City branch, they had to give him some face.

"Fine! I'll give you face, but let me remind you, this is Fire Cloud City. I, Xue Wuqing, don't need you to tell me what to do." Xue Wuqing sat back down.

Liao Qingfeng glanced at Huang Mao in the distance and sneered, "Hmph! Only at the first level of the Qi Condensing Realm. Once the auction ends, it's your death day!"

Li Wei's face was ashen, but he didn't dare to do anything to Xue Wuqing. Not to mention that Fire Cloud City was the territory of the Fire Cloud Sect, and Xue Wuqing's strength was no weaker than his. Even if they fell out, he wouldn't gain anything.

Li Wei had no choice but to clear his throat and continue, "The auction will proceed."

A buzz of discussion arose in the crowd, speculating whether there was some enmity between that man and Xue Wuqing.

But that man was only at the first level of the Qi Condensing Realm. If there really was enmity, he would probably be killed as soon as he left the auction house. Such is the plight of the weak.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a voice rang out, and the masked man stood up, looking directly at Li Wei.

Li Wei looked at him, "Sir, what is it?"

Huang Mao stared at him, his eyes glowing red through the mask.

"They destroyed my room and hit me with a palm. Is that just going to be let go?"

As soon as he said this, the auction house erupted in an uproar.

He still wanted to settle the score?

Is he out of his mind? Neither Li Wei nor Xue Wuqing were people he could provoke!

Li Wei was also taken aback, not expecting this person to be so ungrateful. With such strength, he still dared to shout. He must have a death wish.

But the auction house was at fault, so he cupped his hands and said, "I apologize. The bank will compensate you with ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Please forgive us."

Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones were nothing to the bank.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With this, the man should let it go.

"Hmph! Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones, do you think you can dismiss me like a beggar?" Huang Mao said coldly.

Li Wei's face stiffened, a hint of anger rising in his heart, "Then what do you want?"

"According to the auction house rules, expel these two, and I can let the previous matter go!" Huang Mao said.

"What!"

Hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Expel Xue Wuqing and Liao Qingfeng? How could that be possible!

Taking a loss was one thing, but at least he was still alive. Now he insisted on courting death, making people wonder if he was out of his mind.

Liao Qingfeng also looked at the man with interest, as if watching a clown. He knew that when the man said those words, his fate was sealed.

"I can't fulfill your request," Li Wei shook his head.

What a joke! Offending two major figures of the Fire Cloud Sect for an ant at the first level of the Qi Condensing Realm? Impossible!

Everyone in the auction house silently mourned for Huang Mao. Offending both Li Wei and the Fire Cloud Sect, he probably wouldn't survive today.

Gu Sha and Vulture only glanced at Huang Mao before looking away, seemingly having guessed the fate of this ant.

Only Su Ya trembled in the back, understanding how terrifying Huang Mao and that snake were. Li Wei's decision might bring a great disaster to Qianlong Bank.

"Is that so? Since your bank doesn't dare to act, I'll do it myself!"

Huang Mao's eyes turned cold as he looked at Liao Qingfeng.

Feeling the hostile gaze, Liao Qingfeng raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Your gaze annoys me. Dig out your eyes and kneel to apologize, and I'll give you a quick death! Otherwise, I'll capture you, skin you, and fry you in oil, making you feel that death is a luxury!"

Everyone in the auction house sighed inwardly. He was doomed. In Fire Cloud City, no one could save him.

Who knew Huang Mao would stare at him and say something that shocked everyone—

"I'll give you three breaths to get out, or die!"@@novelbin@@

After Huang Mao said this, the noisy voices in the room were suppressed.

People stared at him in disbelief, as if looking at a madman.

"One breath!" Ignoring the stares, Huang Mao shouted loudly, his arrogant attitude making people wonder if he was truly insane.

Not to mention that Xue Wuqing, at the peak of the tenth level of the Qi Condensing Realm, was standing in front of him. Liao Qingfeng himself was at the first level of the Qi Condensing Realm, the same level as him. Plus, the Fire Cloud Sect Master must have left him many life-saving treasures. How could he die just like that?
