The night gradually enveloped the entire city. Far above the sky, the bright moon hung high like a silver plate, pouring down the thin snow-white silver sand overwhelmingly...
The city gradually becomes silent in the dark, and the bustle and bustle of the day are closed with various curtains as the night falls. Only with the rise of tomorrow's sun will this vast stage open again.
The snow-white moonlight shrouded the entire city, and from time to time there would be strange bird calls between the sky and the earth. They were heavy and urgent, as if they were telling an extremely scary story. Coupled with the night, there were many strange sounds between the sky and the earth.
There was a weird atmosphere.
The whole city looks particularly quiet on the surface, with no lights and no noise. In the dark corners of the city, there are ghosts flickering, whether they are rats or poisonous snakes.
Lin family mansion.
In the guest room, Xu Songming's face was gloomy. He had been sitting here all day since he returned to the Lin Mansion this morning. He carefully recalled every alchemist he had ever seen in the past, and even the entire alchemist alliance.
People, hoping to find out the origin of today's young man in black robe.
But it's a pity that even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't get any useful information from it. Under the sleeves and robes, the old man's withered palms were tightly clenched together, and the expression on his old face was extremely gloomy. What happened today was not only nothing
For him to vent his anger on his granddaughter would make him lose face again. Once this matter spreads and reaches the ears of the old guys in the Alchemist Alliance, it will really become a joke.
"Bang!"
With a heavy palm fall, the table under the old man's hand was instantly exploded, turning into a piece of debris that was shot out in all directions.
Outside the door, the waiter felt the biting murderous intent coming from inside the door. He couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face, and quickly retreated.
"Damn it! Even if I find the information, what's the use? This kid has already become a third-level alchemist at a young age, and his achievements are even higher than mine. Even if I find his information... I'm still the same, hurt.
Don’t you think there’s a hair on his head!”
Standing up, Xu Songming looked up and stared at the beams, anger rising in his gloomy old eyes, and then he couldn't help but cough violently. This was what Xiao Yan gave him today. With just one punch, he could
He suffered serious injuries, and even with the elixir, he was unable to return to his peak in a short period of time.
Xiao Yan's strength has far exceeded that of ordinary Half-Emperors. Even though he is an Eight-Star Half-Emperor, in Xiao Yan's eyes, he is no different from a Fighting Saint, like an ant.
Next door, the girl in the red dress has calmed down and is sitting at the table blankly. Unlike Xu Songming, she is as weak as an ordinary woman with no strength. Of course, this is just what she looks like.
, after all, in this Xuancheng, who doesn't know that she is a half-emperor strong person, who dares to say that she is incapable of restraining a strong person of this level.
"Crunch..."
The door was suddenly opened, and a gloomy-faced old man stepped in heavily with a cane in his hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Grandpa!"
Seeing the visitor, the pretty girl with a dull face suddenly came to her senses. Tears burst out of her red eyes, as if she was aggrieved or ashamed and angry. No one knew what kind of emotions were contained in these tears.
Venomous snakes have no tears, and everyone knows how ferocious it is. Although people have tears, who knows whether those tears are sincere or hypocritical.
"Huh, cry, you know how to cry. If crying is useful, why do you need me to take action!"
Seeing the girl sobbing again, the old man was merciless and scolded her coldly. The girl suddenly felt as if her throat was blocked, and a low whimpering sound came out from her nose, which gradually stopped.
On the other side, in the main hall, Lin Zehong and his son were sitting. They both had gloomy expressions. They were worthy of being father and son. Their sitting postures and expressions on their faces were exactly the same. Perhaps even their minds were the same.
Lin Ran can be said to have inherited everything from his father, except of course his strength.
"Father, what should we do now? Everyone knows that Xuancheng is the territory of my Lin family. Now a member of my Lin family is actually being beaten on my own territory. If I can't get things right, I'm afraid my Lin family will be ridiculed!"
Lin Ran's face was gloomy, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. He was both frightened and resentful towards the young man in black robe today.
"Hmph, I have to get this debt back sooner or later, but for now, we'd better do business first. That old guy will definitely not let that kid go. Hey, his mind is narrower than ours, just like ours
Like the gaps between his fingers, nothing can escape except time, so let him deal with that kid. What we should pay attention to now are the people from the two major families."
"They are coming?"
After Lin Zehong finished speaking, Lin Ran suddenly frowned. The young man in black robe was difficult to deal with, and the people from the two major families were even more difficult to deal with. In order to please them over the years, the Lin family has suffered a lot of bleeding.
"Not yet, but this auction is very popular and they will definitely not miss it. As far as I know, the patriarch of the Bai family will come in person this time and will bring his son, and the Huo family will also come.
A powerful elder, it seems that they should know some inside information about the auction, so they must be careful in dealing with it."
"Oh? He's Bai Ying's son? It's said that he stayed in the Nine-Star Half-Emperor for more than ten years and is nothing more than a waste. His Bai family will be kicked out of one of the four major families sooner or later."
Lin Ran sneered again. He had also heard about Bai Zhan, but in his opinion, it was just a Nine-Star Half-Emperor, and it was impossible to achieve anything.
"Hmph, you'd better be careful what you say. Regardless of whether he is a waste or not, at least he is stronger than you now. What's more, his Bai family is still one of the four major families. For this reason, you must please him.
, only by pleasing that boy can Bai Ying have a good impression of us. This will be of great benefit to my Lin family, but you can’t screw it up for me!"
After hearing Lin Ran's words, Lin Zehong reprimanded him in a deep voice. The latter immediately smiled and did not dare to say anything.
After a few more instructions, Lin Zehong slowly withdrew his gaze. He couldn't help but recall the battle this morning in his mind. He had never thought that a half-emperor strong man could actually beat him, a strong fighting emperor, to such a degree.
So miserable.
"Boy... you'd better not fall into my hands!"
…
The next day.
When the morning light fell on the earth, the whole Xuancheng had completely woken up from the dark night. The huge Xuancheng was crowded and extremely prosperous.
On the bed, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged and resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
