Spirit Vessel

“What a lucky day, to be able to meet you here, Brother Feng.”

Feiyun had only gotten out of the beast soul square before someone called for him.

He glanced at the three well-groomed youths and slightly raised his brows: “Do I know you?”

Ninth Lord Gu appeared to be friendly with zero malice as he bowed slightly: “Brother Feng, you are a war monarch now, everyone in Crimson Territory knows who you are.”

Thirteenth Lord Gu added: “We have met in Ice Market before, it’s just that we were blind and viewed you as another lowly half-demon… Ahem, sorry, I chose the wrong words.”

“Thirteenth, what the hell are you saying? Apologize already.” Ninth yelled at him.

Thirteenth hurriedly bowed and apologized repeatedly.

Feiyun finally remembered them. He met the three back in Ice Market three years ago. It’s just that they had a different attitude back then.

However, his current status still didn’t warrant their current action.

He used the Grand Change Art to calculate and divine. He gained a good understanding of their identity. A smile appeared on his face.

These two were from the Gu while the third was the young master of the Yu. All three were prodigies from medial clans and were qualified to compete for the successor position.

For the Gu, Eighth and Ninth have been competing for several decades now. Alas, the situation suddenly worsened for Ninth because Eighth gained a legacy in the grave.

The clan gradually leaned towards Eighth so Ninth lost many supporters. If this continued, Ninth might lose his life, let alone thinking about winning.

Thus, Ninth was quite desperate right now. There was virtually no one who could compete against Eighth in Crimson. However, he met Feiyun today.

Rumor has it that this half-demon killed Xiao Tianyue, maybe he would be able to fight Eighth. Ninth finally saw a sliver of hope.

“You seem to be worrying about money, is there anything I can do?” Ninth smiled and said.

Feiyun didn’t mind taking advantage of someone. However, the sum he needed was monstrous; these prodigies were of no use.

“Thanks, but I can handle it myself. I’m going to the auction house for a few things now.” He smiled back.

“You need a referral to go there. I might not have enough to buy anything but I can be your referral.” Ninth suggested.

“Sounds good, haha.” Feiyun didn’t refuse.

Feiyun was facing pressure from Firmament and twelve domains right now. Thus, he wanted some allies as well.

Moreover, Eighth and he had a feud already. This was a matter of convenience.

The auction house of Heavendream was a magnificent palace. The stair leading up had 3,300 steps made of white jade engraved with dragons and phoenixes.

This was definitely one of the top auction houses in Crimson. Only the big shots could come here to buy or sell their items. A few paragons would show up every now and then.

“A consignment auction? You should know that we only auction extraordinary treasures.” A young worker glanced at Feiyun and noticed that he was a half-demon.

Though some medial geniuses introduced him, this worker didn’t think too much of it. He had met too many big shots, even a few paragons each day.

Liu Suzi walked over with a smile and waved her paper fan: “Brother Feng, why didn’t you tell me? Looks like you got some good stuff from the saint’s grave.”

The worker’s heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Many great treasures had appeared in Sixth Central after the appearance of the grave. All were sold for a sky-high price.

He bowed his head towards Liu Suzi then started flattering Feng Feiyun: “Ah, I didn’t realize you were a friend of Young Noble Zi. I was blind and couldn’t see Mount Tai, so I wholeheartedly apologize.”

Feiyun didn’t care to argue and smiled: “The treasures have been taken by the big shots, we only got scraps.”

The worker led the group backstage. Others were waiting to sell their treasures as well. The entire place was lit up in various colors.

Of course, there were experts presiding here to guard this place.

The group also saw Eighth nearby, seemingly trying to sell a treasure as well. Other youths crowded around him and were having a good time.

One of the girls looked quite similar to Liu Suzi. She wore a red dress and had perfect skin. She wore many red bracelets as well, completely overshadowing the other girls.

Though Eighth showed disdain towards the others, he didn’t dare to be disrespectful to her.

“Haha, Ninth Brother and Young Noble Zi are here too? Which treasures are you looking for?” Eighth glanced at Feiyun; a murderous glint flashed deep within.

He nearly killed him back in the grave on top of knowing his secret. Thus, he wanted to eliminate Feng Feiyun but this wasn’t the right place.

The girl in red standing next to him smiled elegantly by covering her mouth: “A coincidence indeed. Seventh Sister, don’t you have half-demons? Why are you here with one?”

“Seventh Sister” was none other than Liu Suzi. Her sister’s name was Liu Suhong.

Since Liu Suzi liked to crossdress, others would normally address her as “Young Noble Zi.”

“I only hate the weak and subservient half-demons. I don’t mind befriending the strong ones.” Liu Suzi responded.

“Oh? So this half-demon is a little capable?” Liu Suhong glanced at Feiyun with contempt and sneered: “Half-demons won’t amount to anything, I suggest you don’t waste time with this lowly creature. Otherwise, the seniors might become disappointed in you.”

“You don’t need to mind, First Sister. I know what I’m doing.” Suzi responded.

“No, Brother Feng is an exception.” Eighth smiled and said: “I heard you obtained many treasures in the grave, could you introduce them to us?”

“As if a half-demon can get any treasure.” A genius behind him snorted.

“Eighth Young Lord found an ancient cauldron in the grave. The initial appraisal is one billion spirit stones, as for the actual auction price? Keke, who knows?”

One billion spirit stones was a monstrous sum for these young geniuses. Only the big shots could produce this amount.

Ninth and Thirteenth’s expression changed after hearing this. If Eighth had one billion stones, he would be able to obtain many supporters.

If Liu Suzi and Ninth were to lose momentum right now, this would look quite bad for them. The seniors cared and the winners of minor competitions would always garner more support.
