Several days passed in the Sky Merchant City, where the atmosphere was almost explosive. They went by in the blink of an eye.
When the first ray of morning sunlight shone down, the entire city erupted like a volcano, completely bursting forth at this moment. The whole city was engulfed in a fervent heat.
Lin Yun opened his door and smiled as he looked at the room next to his, which still had an energy barrier. He then led Mu Lingshan out of the inn.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
As soon as they stepped out of the inn, the sky was filled with overwhelming sounds of rushing wind. Figures, like stars filling the sky, headed towards the north side of the city.
"The outer formation has also been activated. This Sky Merchant Pavilion has indeed taken many protective measures. This formation is probably so strong that even a Life Death Stage Completion expert wouldn't dare to cause trouble here." Lin Yun looked up, his gaze fixed on the massive formation covering the entire city, his thoughts racing.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Yun said to Mu Lingshan, who was already excitedly looking around, "Let's hurry over too."
With that, he moved, soaring into the air and heading north. A small blue tail quickly followed behind him.
To the north of Sky Merchant City, there was a suspended plaza, about ten thousand zhang in size, large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. This plaza was where the Sky Merchant City held its auctions every year.
As they approached the plaza, Lin Yun saw light screens descending around its perimeter. These light screens originated from the city's protective formation above Sky Merchant City.
To enter the plaza and participate in the auction, one needed to hold an invitation issued by Sky Merchant City.
Lin Yun stopped in front of the light screen, flipped his hand, and a purple-black invitation appeared in his palm. He then flicked it towards the light screen. The light screen trembled, then a crack tore open.
Afterward, he quickly led Mu Lingshan through it.
"Boom!"
As soon as they rushed into the light screen, a deafening clamor surged towards them.
"It's so noisy, there are so many people." Lin Yun frowned, looking at the dense crowd that almost stretched to the horizon.
"Let's go, we have our seats." After looking around for a bit, Lin Yun led Mu Lingshan towards a seating area in the front.
"Brother Lin Yun, I didn't expect you to be here too." Just as Lin Yun's figure soared into the air, a silver-bell-like laugh suddenly came from ahead.
He looked up and saw Tang Dongyu smiling at him.
"Since I'm in Sky Merchant City, how could I miss such a grand event?" Lin Yun didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to greet him.
He had only met her once before, but given his personality, since the other party had no ill intentions, he wouldn't treat her poorly.
Tang Dongyu covered her mouth and chuckled. Her appearance was already extremely beautiful, and coupled with her high status in the Sky Merchant Pavilion, her smiling conversation with Lin Yun immediately attracted many gazes.
"Who is this person? He's actually getting attention from the Sky Merchant Pavilion's young lady."
"I don't know, I've never seen this person before."
"Why do I feel like he looks a bit familiar..."
Just as Lin Yun and Tang Dongyu were talking, several sounds of rushing wind came from behind. Then, a figure appeared beside the two of them, smiled at Tang Dongyu, and said in a slightly intimate tone, "Dongyu, it's been a year, you've become even more beautiful."
Tang Dongyu chuckled and didn't respond.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xie Yan's gaze turned towards Lin Yun with a hint of playfulness and said, "You must be Lin Yun?"
"What is it?" Lin Yun looked at the other party indifferently.
Xie Yan stared at Lin Yun with interest and said, "A few days ago, I received news that the elder of our Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Evil Bone Old Man, was killed by a young man. I'm quite curious about you."
"However, from a certain perspective, he was an elder of my Evil Wind Cave Heaven. Now that you've killed him, you've made an enemy of my Evil Wind Cave Heaven." After speaking, the smile on his face also became somewhat unsettling.
After hearing this, Lin Yun chuckled, "So, what do you plan to do? Are you going to attack me? I'm just afraid you don't have the ability."
"Is that so?" The smile on Xie Yan's face instantly disappeared, and he stared at Lin Yun with extreme gloom.
He had elders from the Evil Wind Cave Heaven behind him, so he naturally wasn't afraid of Lin Yun. An elder of his Evil Wind Cave Heaven could also kill a Half-step to Death Profound Realm expert with one move.
Seeing the two facing each other in the air, Tang Dongyu, who was nearby, frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Xie, today is the auction hosted by my Sky Merchant Pavilion. This is not a suitable place for fighting, so I hope you will temporarily cease the dispute out of respect for my Sky Merchant Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan turned his head to look at Tang Dongyu, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "Heh heh, since Dongyu has said so, I naturally have to give face."
"However, some people need to recognize their place and restrain some of their so-called arrogance, otherwise, the consequences might be very severe."
Lin Yun scoffed, "I'll return that sentence to you. The background you're so proud of is worthless in front of me!"
After hearing this, the smile on Xie Yan's handsome face suddenly disappeared at this moment. His eyes were deep and extremely gloomy as he looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's words just now didn't give him any face. Tang Dongyu, who was nearby, was also stunned when she heard Lin Yun's words, and then a hint of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Heh," Xie Yan sneered coldly, his fingers curled inward. He approached Lin Yun and said indifferently, "I'll remember your words, but speaking so arrogantly comes at a price."
As his voice fell, Xie Yan turned and smiled at Tang Dongyu, then turned and left.
However, as he turned around, the Innate Yin Sha Qi around him suddenly became much denser, and beneath it, there was also a hint of icy coldness.
"By doing this, you've completely offended the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. After the auction ends, stay in Sky Merchant City for a while longer before leaving, otherwise they might cause you trouble," Tang Dongling said to Lin Yun.
"I don't like trouble, but not everyone can bully me." After speaking, Lin Yun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Tang. I'll take my seat first and wait for the auction to begin."
As his voice fell, Lin Yun led Mu Lingshan towards the seats below.
Tang Dongling looked at Lin Yun's back, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly. "He dares to challenge Xie Yan. It seems the number one genius of the Yuan Gate in the Eastern Xuan Region is most likely him."
After muttering to herself, she also smiled lightly, then turned and left.
Mu Lingshan, who had landed in her seat, pouted her small mouth and said, "That guy is so annoying, I really want to punch him flying."
The person she was referring to was naturally the earlier Xie Yan.
Lin Yun chuckled and said, "There will be a chance."
"Really? Really? Does Brother Lin Yun have a plan?" Mu Lingshan asked curiously.
"You'll know when the time comes..."
