Chapter 1695: Chapter 1693: Zijin Auction House

Xiao Yifeng realized that someone had previously told him about a genius Array Master at Fengyun Academy, who had set up a Second-Level Formation at the age of twenty-five. It seemed that the person in front of him was indeed Qin Cheng.

”That’s right, it’s me. I heard you set up a Third-Level Array?”

Qin Cheng’s eyes gleamed as he fixed his gaze on Xiao Yifeng.

”Is there a problem?”

Xiao Yifeng glanced at him lightly.

”I challenge you; do you dare to accept?”

Qin Cheng said, looking at Xiao Yifeng.

”Challenge?”

Xiao Yifeng chuckled softly.

”What? Are you afraid?”

Qin Cheng spoke coldly to Xiao Yifeng.

”I, Xiao Yifeng, have never been afraid of anything.”

Xiao Yifeng scoffed.

”Name the time, place, and what we’re competing in.”

Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.

”Two days later, at the Fengyun Arena, both Martial Arts and Formation. I will show everyone who the real genius Array Master of Fengyun Academy is.”

Qin Cheng said coldly.

”Two days later, I will defeat you!”

Xiao Yifeng stated softly and departed with his arms crossed.

Qin Cheng’s expression turned somewhat gloomy, his hands clenched silently, his eyes cold.

And the news of Qin Cheng’s challenge against Xiao Yifeng in two days resounded like thunder through Fengyun Academy, spurring a frenzy of discussion among everyone.

Qin Cheng was previously the top genius Array Master of Fengyun Academy, and now upon his return, he aimed to challenge Xiao Yifeng, the newly crowned top genius Array Master. This duel was enough to capture everyone’s attention.

Though Xiao Yifeng could now set up a Third-Level Array and had defeated Fang Qing, one of the top five genius students, Qin Cheng had set up a Second-Level Formation three years ago. No one knew how strong his Formation skills were now.

Moreover, his Martial Arts strength was incomparable at Fengyun Academy. Even Fang Qing was no match for him. This duel was bound to be an epic battle between two titans, eagerly anticipated by all three days later.

In a room at an inn in Wind Cloud City, Xu Ruoxing appeared, standing before an old man in a black robe, who was his master.

”Master!”

Xu Ruoxing bowed respectfully to the old man.

”How is the progress?”

The old man asked.

”Master, I apologize; I am incapable. I haven’t discovered any news about the Jade Pendant, nor have I gleaned any information.”

Xu Ruoxing said with his head lowered.

”This isn’t your fault. I will find a way to place you beside the current Crown Prince Feng Chen. Try to discover the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant from him without error.”

The old man in the black robe said in a deep voice.

”Yes, Master!”

Xu Ruoxing bowed.

Wind Cloud City, Imperial Palace.

In a hall that no one was allowed to approach, guarded heavily by soldiers, a terrifying aura erupted from within. Soon, the door of the hall was opened directly.

A young man dressed in a purple-gold long robe, with sharp sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, emerged, exuding an exceptional noble aura, eyes like starlight, radiating an impressive heroic air, and his strength was extraordinary.

”Greetings, Crown Prince!”

All the guards outside the hall immediately knelt halfway to the ground, respectfully addressing the young man.

And this young man was the current Crown Prince of the Wind Cloud Kingdom, Feng Chen.

”Rise!”

Feng Chen said with an indifferent look and voice, and the guards stood up.

In a room at an inn in Wind Cloud City, Yuan Zhimo sat there savoring tea, with her maid Lv Ya standing before her.

”Miss, we still haven’t found the identity of those assassins, and there’s no movement from that side either. Could it not have been them?”

Lv Ya asked.

”If not them, then who? If they were going to act, they wouldn’t leave any clues for me to catch. If not, my survival means their doom. Let’s not worry about this for now; they likely won’t make another move temporarily.”

Yuan Zhimo said calmly.

”Miss, I think you should return early, or it could be troublesome if this happens again.”

Lv Ya suggested.

”No, I’ve planned for so long. As long as the auction starts successfully, the last relic key will surely appear. If I can seize this opportunity to break through to the Divine Soul Realm upon entering the relic, they will have no chance to snatch the Zijin Commerce Guild from me!”

Yuan Zhimo said with a serious expression, her eyes showing determined resolve.

The next day, at the central location in Wind Cloud City, stood a five-story round building with a prominent plaque reading ’Zijin Auction House’.

And this was the Zijin Auction House under the Zijin Commerce Guild.

As the largest commerce guild in South Desolation, Zijin Commerce Guild’s auction houses spread across all major cities in South Desolation, and these auctions were one of the guild’s significant operations.

At this time, Xiao Yifeng led Yun Tianxiao, Ye Ziyan, and Li Zitong to the place, clearly invited by Yuan Zhimo to participate in the auction.

As the auction had been heavily promoted by Zijin Commerce Guild, most people in South Desolation knew about the grand auction taking place today, with many treasures up for bidding.

Therefore, the auction was crowded with people, not only attracting many young masters and strong ones from the Wind Cloud Kingdom but also numerous strong individuals from beyond its borders, all here for the auction’s treasures.

”Make way, make way!”

Suddenly, calls were heard, and a group of guards in armor with longswords quickly approached.

They pushed the people at the entrance of the auction to both sides, forming two long lines, and Xiao Yifeng and his group were also pushed aside.

”Who has such a grand procession?”

Li Zitong muttered indignantly.

Just then, a palanquin stopped here, its curtain opened, and Feng Chen stepped out, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Another palanquin followed, from which Feng Cai’er quickly stepped out, immediately walking up to Feng Chen, looking very affectionate.

”Brother!”

Feng Cai’er called to Feng Chen.

”Brother? Could he be the Crown Prince Feng Chen of the Wind Cloud Kingdom?”

Xiao Yifeng examined Feng Chen, his eyes twinkling with shrewd light.

”Hollow Void Realm Seventh Layer, indeed strong, and it seems about to break through to the Eighth Level of the Hollow Void Realm!”

Xiao Yifeng took a probing glance at him, completely exposing Feng Chen’s strength before his eyes.

This fellow’s strength, like Lin Xi and Yuan Zhimo, was at the Seventh Layer of the Hollow Void Realm, and it seemed poised to break through to the Eighth Level, even slightly stronger.

”Welcome, Crown Prince!”

The head of the Zijin Auction House came out briskly, bowing to Feng Chen in welcome.
