"It's Lei Yin Emperor!" A strange expression appeared on the faces of some of the Jia Ma Empire's experts as they watched the lightning.
The experts from the other major empires and influential factions, however, all wore expressions of amusement.
Lei Yin Emperor was originally a Dou Emperor who operated within the Thunder Empire, nearly ten thousand miles away from the Jia Ma Empire. It was unknown why he had suddenly appeared in the Jia Ma Empire.
"But that doesn't matter. With his move, we can actually probe whether there's a big shot backing the Mite'er Family.
And they also want to see just how terrifying this big shot's methods are."
After all, the people from the surrounding empires had only heard that a peerless expert had appeared in the Jia Ma Imperial City, but they didn't know how strong this expert was.
Now that Lei Yin Emperor had come to test the waters, they were happy to watch.
It would be best if the Mite'er Family had a super expert as their backing; otherwise, these pills and treasures might as well be given away for free.
Facing the lightning bolt that was streaking towards her, Ya Fei's pretty face turned slightly pale, but she still maintained a calm expression.
"Looking for death!" A cold snort, filled with age, echoed from an unknown location.
The space around the lightning bolt suddenly solidified, revealing its true form: a slender middle-aged man clad in silver armor.
At this moment, his face was filled with terror, but he was frozen in place, unable to move.
The next moment, a blazing red light erupted from Lei Yin Emperor's body. Anyone with a discerning eye could clearly feel the terrifying fire-attribute energy contained within.
The fear on Lei Yin Emperor's face twisted into pain, but before he could even scream, his eyes lost their luster.
The space was no longer solidified. A gentle breeze, originating from an unknown place, swept through. The once-arrogant Lei Yin Emperor's body turned to ashes, carried out of the auction house by the breeze.
Not a single speck of ash landed on Ya Fei.
"Gulp."
"Gulp."
The sounds of swallowing echoed one after another. A Dou Emperor, someone who could be considered a peak figure within several empires, had been turned to ashes without a sound.
They hadn't even seen how the other party had attacked. A terrifying chill rose from the hearts of the many Dou Emperor experts, and they finally felt an inexplicable fear towards this unknown strong individual.
On the auction stage, Ya Fei's delicate face was slightly pale, but she quickly adjusted her demeanor, a graceful smile returning to her face.
"Everyone, please don't be alarmed. This is just a small, insignificant interlude. Let's continue with the next item in the auction."
Seeing her like this, those who had initially been captivated by her beauty now, in their minds, raised this seemingly weak woman's status by several levels.
To be able to remain so composed in the face of an attack from a Dou Emperor expert, just this state of mind alone was enough to be admired.
Xiao Yan, watching the scene unfold in the private room, smiled with satisfaction.
He didn't dislike women who loved money, but he disliked those who lost themselves over trivial gains.
In fact, when faced with the allure of wealth, both men and women are the same. The only difference is how they acquire it.
Regardless of gender, after stripping away appearances, wealth, and other superficial aspects, what ultimately keeps people around is an independent self.
A woman without an independent self, no matter how beautiful, lacks a soul. Such a shell is often discarded quickly.
Men are the same. They must first have an independent self to gain status and wealth. That's why most self-made men are never short of close female friends.
"Twenty-three million!"
"Twenty-five million!"
"Twenty-eight million!"
Following a low voice, no one else continued to bid.
"Twenty-eight million once!"
"Twenty-eight million twice!"
"Twenty-eight million three times!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Wei Lou for winning the Breaking Sect Pill!" Ya Fei's voice was slightly excited.
Today's auction made her, who was used to seeing large sums of money, feel a bit dreamy.
"Scary. The Mite'er Family actually has such a strong backing. It's truly terrifying." After this auction, those present realized that the Mite'er Family was about to rise.
"The Breaking Sect Pill, the Imperial Grade Pill… were these pills just casually brought out?" In the box, Gu He watched this scene, his eyes revealing a hint of awe.
That young man secretly supporting the Mite'er Family and the Na Lan Family was simply too terrifying. Everything he casually produced was an extremely rare treasure.
Even she had managed to obtain a fifth-grade pill recipe and the insights of a seventh-grade alchemist from this auction.
Yet, these things seemed insignificant to that young man.
"Teacher, this Xiao Yan is truly generous. Including this Breaking Sect Pill, that's already the third one, and there are so many sixth-grade pills."
Facing her teacher, Na Lan Yan Ran couldn't help but sigh softly, "He also gave us a batch of pills when he came to our house to break off the engagement. Added together, it's probably no less than what's being auctioned today, perhaps even more."
After all, that compensation was an apology from a Dou Saint. Although Na Lan Yan Ran didn't know the details, Xiao Yan wouldn't have skimped on them.
"Is that so?"
Yun Yun forced a smile.
"Yeah, that playboy is really rich. He's willing to spend so much just to chase after Ya Fei," Na Lan Yan Ran pouted.
For some reason, there was a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Is that so?" Hearing that her disciple and Ya Fei both had so many things, Yun Yun suddenly felt a slight bitterness in her heart.
So, I'm only worth two Breaking Sect Pills.
Then, she shook the thought from her mind.
"How can I think like that? I'm not worth just two Breaking Sect Pills," Yun Yun gave a wry smile, but the young man's mischievous grin came to mind again.
"Playboy," she muttered.
With the end of this grand auction, which hadn't been seen in the surrounding countries of the Magical Beast Mountain Range for many years, the Mite'er Family and even the Jia Ma Empire quickly became the most talked-about nations among these countries.
The fact that a Dou Emperor could be so silently dissolved into ash in mid-air suggested that a mysterious figure, or perhaps a powerful faction, residing within the Jia Ma Empire, definitely possessed a Dou Venerate.
And a Dou Venerate was already considered one of the most powerful individuals on the entire Northwest Continent.
"Guess how much these items sold for in total."
In a room lit by flickering candlelight, Ya Fei's face showed a trace of fatigue, but mostly excitement.
"I don't know," Xiao Yan said, shaking his head.
"It's two hundred and thirty million gold coins! Enough to buy ten Mite'er Families. Why aren't you showing any emotion?"
Ya Fei was rarely this excited, like a young girl.
"Two hundred million gold coins aren't as attractive to me as you are."
Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile.
Ya Fei's face instantly flushed, and she held his hand that was resting on her leg.
"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a shower."
"No need to shower, just stay in that outfit. You look really beautiful in it."
"Boss, you're being quite perverted," Ya Fei said, her face red.
"Heh heh!"
