Chapter 585: Gathering Together

There were a lot of people who came to this Auction House in Lianhua Pavilion.

It was just that Xiao Fan was unaware that for an auction held monthly like this, it was quite good to have nearly a million people attend at once.

As for the one in Wuhuang Province, that could be considered an auction that Treasure Pavilion only held every few years, which was why so many people attended.

Among the crowd that arrived this time, many were specially welcomed into the front of the Auction House.

However, compared to the positions occupied by Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning, they were a tier lower.

To enter the very front positions like those of Zhangsun Ning and Xiao Fan, one needed to be at least a powerhouse with Yuding Realm cultivation.

Among the people who came to participate in the Auction House this time, thousands were City Lords from various major cities, and there were also many Prodigies from the younger generation here to broaden their horizons.

The Dynasty royal family had kept them all behind and announced that in a few days, an Opportunity would descend upon these members of the younger generation.

Xiao Fan was shocked; the Pi Hai Realm powerhouses all around were as numerous as ox hairs…

"Thousands of Pi Hai Realm…" Xiao Fan was stunned. It was his first time seeing so many Pi Hai Realm powerhouses so directly.

Xiao Fan estimated that just these people in the venue could flatten Wuhuang Province!

Xiao Fan didn't know how many Pi Hai Realm powerhouses were in Wuhuang Province, but he estimated there were at most only a few hundred.

Yet, this Auction House actually had thousands of Pi Hai Realm powerhouses!

"There shouldn't be this many people." Zhangsun Ning muttered to herself. She knew the situation of the various major provinces very well.

Yihuang Province had many powerhouses, but for an Auction House to gather so many Pi Hai Realm powerhouses was very rare!

"They…" Xiao Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected to see City Lord Du Ling, City Lord Ming Long, and Chu Feng and the others in the crowd.

Following Xiao Fan's gaze, Zhangsun Ning also looked over, and she recognized City Lord Ming Long and the others as well.

"Could it be related to the previous competition?" Xiao Fan muttered.

A soundproof barrier had been set up around him and Zhangsun Ning by the latter. Speaking here was very safe; unless a powerhouse with cultivation surpassing the Yuding Realm was present, no one could hear the content of their conversation.

This was something Zhangsun Ning had set up casually; it was a habit.

"It's possible." Zhangsun Ning nodded. She thought the same.

If that were the case, it would explain why so many people had come to the Auction House this time.

There were many people in the Auction House, and City Lord Ming Long, City Lord Du Ling, Chu Feng, and others were sitting in positions slightly behind the front row.

They were a few hundred meters further from the auction stage in front than Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning.

"City Lord Du Ling, do you really not know who that Xiao Fan is?" City Lord Ming Long asked.

"I really don't know!" City Lord Du Ling said helplessly. "Lord Ming, it was truly a coincidence before. That Xiao Fan was carrying a woman when he entered my Linze City at the time, and afterwards, I let him compete on behalf of my Linze City!"

City Lord Du Ling had lost count of how many times he had answered this question for City Lord Ming Long recently.

Chu Feng, who was on the side, felt like his ears were about to grow calluses from listening!

City Lord Ming Long nodded and sighed…

After he left the Imperial Palace, he had been summoned by Liu Tianyun once more.

Because the Yihuang Dynasty was actually unable to uncover any intelligence regarding Xiao Fan.

It seemed this person had suddenly appeared in Yihuang Province, and now, Xiao Fan's whereabouts were unknown.

For a person like this, unless there was a massive background hiding Xiao Fan, it could only mean his origins were unfathomable!

And given Xiao Fan's current age, with a powerhouse as a Protector by his side, it made Liu Tianyun believe it was possible he was a Prodigy sent out by another major province to travel.

Such things happened from time to time, letting the Geniuses and Prodigies of the younger generation enter unfamiliar environments to train.

Therefore, Liu Tianyun attached great importance to this matter, but after sending out a large number of people, he still hadn't found Xiao Fan's background.

The several teleportation arrays connecting to the outside world also had no traces of Xiao Fan's arrival!

This made Liu Tianyun attach even more importance to this matter!

But City Lord Ming Long also didn't know where exactly Xiao Fan came from; he could only keep asking City Lord Du Ling.

But City Lord Du Ling didn't know either. He hadn't expected back then that Xiao Fan would be such a Prodigy, actually attracting a Heavenly Tribulation during his Breakthrough!

In the end, he was even valued by the royal family.

"Sigh…" City Lord Ming Long sighed, feeling completely helpless.

Chu Feng didn't say a word. Every time Xiao Fan was mentioned, a fire burned in his heart; that was his Battle Intent!

He regarded Xiao Fan as his opponent; in the future, if there was an Opportunity, he would definitely defeat him!

More and more people arrived, and it was almost time for the auction to begin.

Xiao Fan was still unaware that City Lord Ming Long had reported his affairs to the Yihuang Dynasty. He sat leisurely in the auction with Zhangsun Ning, feeling heartbroken for the Spirit Stones he was about to lose!

"These are all the Spirit Stones I worked hard to save." Xiao Fan sighed.

"Are you unwilling?" Zhangsun Ning raised an eyebrow.

"Willing, I'm willing." Xiao Fan changed his tone, his survival instinct strong.

Zhangsun Ning nodded in satisfaction, quite enjoying this expression of Xiao Fan's.

He was unwilling in his heart, but he was forced to say he was willing with his mouth!

All around, besides Zhangsun Ning, several other powerhouses with Yuding Realm cultivation appeared.

Looking at this familiar scene, Xiao Fan began to miss Treasure Pavilion.

After all, strictly speaking, that was the place where Xiao Fan first made his fortune!

Just by acting as a shill at Treasure Pavilion, he had forgotten how many Spirit Stones he had earned, and he had even made an enemy of Mo Xiaoyao.

Now, the other party's nephew was still locked in a spirit beast bag by Xiao Fan, with food thrown in periodically to ensure that those few Divine Sons and Divine Maidens wouldn't starve to death!
