Chapter 266: Chapter 263 Cangmang Trading House (3) [Seventh Update Various Requests]

For the suddenly appearing Yan Rufeng, who sold a hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts at once, those who dreamed of owning a Level 9 Magical Beast were not only saving five thousand top-grade spiritual stones but also did not have to wait for a long time in Taikang City. They were overjoyed and felt a sense of gratitude towards Yan Rufeng.

However, in the Cultivation World, information often spread extremely quickly. As soon as Yan Rufeng sold a hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts, the news reached the Cangmang Trading House in Taikang City.

"Manager, there’s a situation, there’s a situation..."

A middle-aged lady with a charming figure had a slightly changed expression.

"What happened, why are you so flustered?"

After the visitor reported that Yan Rufeng was selling magical beasts outside the city, Manager Xu of Cangmang Trading House furrowed her brows in worry, her rosy face tightening with concern, and her breathing became hurried.

"Prepare the conveyance to the City Lord Mansion..."

The manager of Cangmang Trading House, Xu Jiaojiao, naturally beautiful, though not stunning enough to overthrow a city, her slightest smile could still outshine the moon and flowers, and drive fishes and birds to hide.

At the City Lord Mansion in Taikang City, the exquisitely charming Manager Xu bent over to salute, her voice as sweet as blooming lotus flowers.

"City Lord~"

Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was like a silver bell, lingering in the air. The City Lord of Taikang City was taken aback and moved towards her.

"Beauty, have you missed me..."

The City Lord of Taikang City, Murong Yunhai, was decisive and ruthless, known for his sharp and vigorous actions. Although not known for treachery, he was naturally lustful. Any woman he set his eyes on would find herself in his chambers.

However, over the past hundred years, Murong Yunhai seemed to have changed his former habits, becoming entirely devoted to Manager Xu Jiaojiao of the Cangmang Trading House.

"Beauty, you’ve come!"

Murong Yunhai gave a devilish smile and extended his hand to pull Xu Jiaojiao into his embrace.

"City Lord, there’s a boy in Taikang City who sold 100 Level 9 Magical Beasts at an auction!"

"Hehe!"

"One hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts!"

Murong Yunhai lifted Xu Jiaojiao’s chin with his hand.

"My beauty, you’re in for a fortune; at least five million top-grade spiritual stones coming in, that’s two years’ worth of income for Taikang City. Not bad, not bad!"

"But..."

"But what, my beautiful one?"

"City Lord, that person didn’t auction at our Cangmang Trading House."

Murong Yunhai was suddenly stunned.

"In Taikang City, now there’s only your trading house. If that boy isn’t selling there, where else could he be?"

Xu Jiaojiao raised her hand and encircled Murong Yunhai’s neck.

"City Lord, that boy auctioned off items outside the city!"

"Outrageous!"

Murong Yunhai flew into a rage.

"That boy is incredibly bold, daring to openly go against our trading house in Taikang City. My beauty, wait here, I’ll be right back..."

Outside the city gate of Taikang City, Murong Yunhai stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an unspoken oppression.

"Guards, get your asses over here!"

Murong Yunhai’s roar sent shivers down the guards’ spines, making them tremble.

The eight guards, on thin ice, stood before Murong Yunhai, barely daring to breathe, no one uttering a word.

Murong Yunhai loosened his oppressive aura and shouted angrily: "Do you know why this City Lord summoned you?"

Eight guards shook their heads.

"Hehe!"

Murong Yunhai sneered: "I heard someone is selling Level 9 Magical Beasts outside our Taikang City. Is there such a thing?"

A guard stammered: "Re-return, City Lord, yes, there is such a thing..."

As Murong Yunhai questioned the guards, no one could enter the city during that time. Thousands gathered outside Taikang City, unaware of what had happened, murmuring amongst themselves, making the scene chaotic.

"Isn’t that the City Lord Murong, truly commanding."

"Hehe!"

Someone in the crowd laughed: "Looks like those guards are in trouble this time!"

"Daoist, what do you mean?"

That person replied: "Didn’t you hear City Lord Murong asking who was selling Level 9 Magical Beasts here just now?"

One person was puzzled.

"What do those guards have to do with it?"

"Hehe!"

Someone sneered: "Looks like you just arrived. The person selling Level 9 Magical Beasts wanted to enter the city, but the guards stopped him. So, he ended up selling a hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts outside the city in one go!"

"Wow!"

"My heavens!"

Someone exclaimed: "A hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts, where did that person get so many from?"

"Brother, who cares where he got so many Level 9 Magical Beasts. This time, those guards are really in trouble."

"Daoist, what do you mean?"

"Heh!"

Someone laughed: "Daoist, you need to know that for all our cultivation needs, we buy from Cangmang Trading House. If someone’s selling items outside Taikang City, that means Cangmang Trading House loses revenue. Imagine what will happen when City Lord Murong finds out!"

"Whoa!"

Someone exclaimed: "Daoist, by your logic, with City Lord Murong’s temper, those guards are doomed!"

One person disagreed.

"Daoist, just because someone isn’t selling at Cangmang Trading House doesn’t mean City Lord Murong will vent his anger on the guards."

"Hehe!"

Someone sneered and lowered their voice: "Brother, you don’t know that the boy couldn’t enter the city because of the guards. Also, you should know that City Lord Murong and Manager Xu, the manager of Cangmang Trading House, have an unusual relationship."

It suddenly dawned on the people around.

"Phew!"

"A hundred Level 9 Magical Beasts, if sold at Cangmang Trading House, would bring at least five million top-grade spiritual stones. Losing so many stones, how could Manager Xu not be furious? In my opinion, these guards are doomed."

...

From afar, Yan Rufeng heard the crowd’s discussions and smiled slightly. He immediately unveiled another Level 10 Demon Beast.

"Everyone, now I have a Level 10 Demon Beast for auction, starting at ten thousand top-grade spiritual stones!"

Yan Rufeng’s voice was not very loud but was long and melodious.

Before the crowd could react, they saw a white horse with glowing white wings.

"Oh my!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Look, that guy brought out a Level 10 Heavenly Horse for auction!"

If someone could remain indifferent to a Level 9 Magical Beast, they would undoubtedly go mad before a Level 10 Demon Beast, knowing that a Level 10 Demon Beast could easily crush an Ascension Stage expert.

"I bid twenty thousand top-grade spiritual stones!"

"Nonsense!"

"A Level 10 Demon Beast, and you only bid twenty thousand top-grade spiritual stones? I bid one hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones!!!"

"I bid two hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones..."

The voices of bidding rose higher and higher.

Just after reprimanding the guards, Murong Yunhai saw this scene and his pupils contracted, his face became grim, and he immediately released an overwhelming oppressive force.

"Boy, who gave you permission to auction items in my Taikang City?"

Murong Yunhai’s roar stopped all bidding.

"Heh!"

"Auctioning without permission?"

Yan Rufeng sneered disdainfully: "May I ask, Daoist, have I conducted the auction within Taikang City?"
