Years of practice with the Golden Cicada technique has made Su Yu’s spiritual power even stronger than that of the average late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, under the perception of several Yunjian Sect disciples, that intimidating presence was gruesome, instilling fear in their hearts.

They staggered in mid-air, nearly falling because of the fright that Su Yu’s voice invoked.

“Ah, senior, spare our lives!”

“This has nothing to do with us, have mercy!”

The group cried out in panic and fled.

When everything quieted down, Su Yu muttered, “Let’s head in, things will be better inside the Inner Market.”

Chen Bailai didn’t die, but his injuries would probably have him bedridden for at least half a month or a month.

It was crucial not to kill him. Even though Chen Bailai came from a mundane village family, he was now a direct disciple of a Yunjian Sect Elder!

If Chen Bailai was publicly killed, the Yunjian Sect wouldn’t ignore it.

What occurred instead was perfect, no deaths.

The situation was still manageable.

Only his status as a Yunjian Sect elder’s direct disciple protected him, otherwise, Chen Bailai would already be dead.

The people around were in an uproar, enjoying the commotion.

When Su Yu and his group left, people started whispering amongst themselves, mainly about the Cloud Tigers. Many didn’t notice when the Cloud Tigers had struck. By the time they noticed, Chen Bailai had been thrown out with a loud cry.

It gave quite a scare to many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Such a powerful demonic tiger!

And when they saw the Cloud Tiger obediently return to Yu Ke’er’s arms, the cultivators were even more amazed.

When did Dai Yue Black Market get such a beautiful second-grade top-tier Beast Tamer?

Entering the Inner Market.

Su Yu sighed with relief. After causing a disruption outside, the tremendous various spiritual presences made his scalp tingle, even a Pseudo-Core Formation aura appeared, causing his heart to pound.

But now it was okay. Even if a Core Formation cultivator wanted to cause trouble inside the Inner Market, they would have to weigh the consequences first.

This was basically the safest place in Dai Yue Black Market, without a doubt.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, the silhouettes of Yu Baishan and Yu Baihe appeared in front of Su Yu and the others.

Yu Baishan frowned, “Who did you run into just now?”

Su Yu nodded, “Chen Bailai, a direct disciple of a Yunjian Sect elder. He probably had some luck in the Phoenix Palace ruins and is now overconfident, trying to abduct Ke’er and the others by force. Needless to say, we won’t tolerate his insolence.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Baihe’s eyes bulged, he angrily asked, “What? He dares to lay a hand on my daughter?”

Yu Baishan furrowed his brows, “Alright, don’t get worked up.”

“Let’s discuss this at the auction house.”

There were too many eyes around.

Without further discussion, they headed towards the auction house.

Upon arriving, they were assigned a private box on the second floor. Once seated, they discussed the incident.

It was definitely Chen Bailai who provoked them, so Su Yu and his group’s counterattack was unquestionably justified.

But the cunning and strategic Yu Baishan and Yu Baihe still reminded them to stay alert. Even though the Yunjian Sect was not known for petty retaliation, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t happen!

After all, the morals of those from the Yunjian Sect Master’s line were generally lacking.

They waited in the box for about half an hour. The auction finally started when the main hall downstairs was almost full.

During this waiting time, Su Yu had spotted several familiar faces among the attendees. For instance, Xu Wansheng, the third disciple of True Man Bai Yue from Bai Yue Immortal City was also present, and he was rather high-profile.

There were also the auras of the two First Elders from the Huang and Jiang families.

Some other brilliant young cultivators from powerful clans like Kai Yang Palace, Jian City, Qin family, and others who had previously appeared at the Genius Conference were also present.

Su Yu sighed inwardly, “What a bustling crowd.”

This time Taoist Hong’er didn’t appear in the auction; it was just the original auctioneer of the auction house.

Every twenty years there was a rotation, and the term of Taoist Laojiu presiding over the Dai Yue Black Market had come to an end.

“Welcome fellow Taoists to participate in the auction. I, Hong’er, will be your host.” An elderly Taoist walked onto the auction stage. Even though his cultivation level was not high, only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he was not at all timid on the auction stage.

“The auction will now begin. The first item to be auctioned is two second-grade lower-tier puppet beasts.”

“With excellent quality, one is equal to the strength of a second level

Foundation Establishment cultivator and the other is equal to a third level Foundation Establishment cultivator. They are definitely crafted by a renowned master.”

“The starting bid is 25,000 inferior Spirit Stones, each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 inferior Spirit Stones. Please start bidding.”

Taoist Hong’er chuckled and waved, displaying two massive puppet beasts on the stage for everyone to see.

After a comprehensive introduction, he allowed interested cultivators to start bidding.

The appearance of two second-grade, lower-tier puppet beasts sparked interest among many cultivation families.

“26,000.”

“27,000.”

“Hehe, our Li family bids 30,000.”

A voice arose from the third floor.

The bidding voices from below suddenly fell silent. But after a moment, others hesitantly began to bid again.

“31,000.”

The bidding war involving four to five cultivation families ended at 43,000 inferior Spirit Stones. The puppets were finally claimed by the Dan Li family, originating from the Land Master.

This price exceeded Su Yu’s initial estimate of 40,000 inferior Spirit Stones. It wasn’t bad.

As expected of the Pill Master Li family with a third-tier Alchemist, they were indeed rich.

Next, the auctioneer, Taoist Hong’er, brought out other auction items. Near the middle of the auction, a set of one hundred second-grade lower-tier Fu Paper* was brought out. The appearance of this set of Fu Paper made many faces change.

This amount—it made a lot of large forces ignore its importance!

Perhaps one second-grade lower-tier Fu Paper, or even ten, wasn’t much.

But when it reached one hundred, it was enough to cause a qualitative change from a quantitative aspect.

Both Yu Baishan and Yu Baihe had serious expressions. Yu Baishan said in a low voice, “If the Jiang family or Huang family bids, we absolutely cannot let them get this Fu Paper.”

These were only second-grade lower-tier Fu papers, but their impact was greater than Su Yu could have imagined.

The bidding war among multiple forces brought an initial price of three hundred mid-tier Spirit Stones for the Fu Paper to five hundred and fifty, before it was finally won by a young man with white hair. This man was a

brilliant young cultivator from the Land Master Ma family, but he was not Ma Shiqing.

This outcome made Yu Baishan secretly relieve his breath.

But next, Taoist Hong’er chuckled and once again brought out a stack of Fu papers, “The final set of Fu Papers, fifty second-grade mid-tier Fu Papers. The quality is absolutely top-notch. The starting bid is two hundred and sixty mid-tier Spirit Stones, each increase in bid must not be less than ten mid-tier Spirit Stones.”

Whoosh.

This time around, cultivators in the auction hall downstairs were in an uproar and filled with disbelief.

Who was it, bringing so many second-grade Fu papers to the auction?

The faces of many cultivator families became serious, especially the forces preparing to bid for the Hao Tian Pill, they secretly cursed, what enticing Fu papers!
