Chapter 11: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao Appear
The girl beside him was Meng Hongchen, quietly following Xiao Hongchen with a look of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.
The elderly man walking at the front was Jing Hongchen, the hall master of Mingde Hall.
"Stop talking and just attend the auction properly,"
Jing Hongchen furrowed his brows and glared at Xiao Hongchen, his tone firm and full of unquestionable authority.
From the moment he entered the Star Dou Auction Pavilion, Jing Hongchen had keenly sensed an invisible pressure rushing toward him, making his heart unconsciously beat faster.
Coupled with the earlier news of the unknown Thunder Attribute powerhouse, he understood that this place was far from simple.
Jing Hongchen's purpose for coming was clear: he aimed for the final auction item of the Star Dou Auction Pavilion — the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.
That was an Ultimate Martial Soul, incredibly rare across Douluo Continent, considered a treasure of immeasurable value.
Even though he was the hall master of Mingde Hall, wielding immense power and wealth, he dared not be careless in front of such a precious Martial Soul.
He absolutely did not want to let it slip through his fingers.
He knew very well that if he could secure this Ultimate Martial Soul, Mingde Hall might be able to cultivate a genius soul master with an extreme Martial Soul in the future.
This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the development of Mingde Hall.
Xiao Hongchen, upon receiving a glare from Jing Hongchen, immediately shut his mouth, remaining silent.
He and Meng Hongchen silently followed behind Jing Hongchen and walked toward the interior of the auction pavilion.
"Mingde Hall has sent people too?"
Zhang Lexuan's sharp eyes caught sight of the three people entering.
Having participated in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, she was naturally familiar with Jing Hongchen, the hall master of Mingde Hall.
Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, standing beside her, were equally surprised by the arrival of Jing Hongchen and the others.
However, thinking that Mu Lao and Xuan Lao had both personally attended the auction, it seemed logical that Jing Hongchen would also be here.
Such a high-profile auction was bound to attract attention from various factions.
Mu Lao and Xuan Lao merely gave a faint glance at the arrival of Mingde Hall, then turned their attention back to the event, still quietly seated and awaiting the start of the auction.
Just then, two unfamiliar and powerful auras suddenly appeared inside the Star Dou Auction Pavilion.
In an instant, the faces of Mu Lao and Xuan Lao changed drastically, their previously calm expressions now filled with deep seriousness.
Following the direction of the auras, they saw two figures slowly walking in from the entrance.
Both were wearing mysterious masks, covering their faces completely, making it impossible to see their real appearances.
Despite this, the pressure emanating from them spread like a powerful, surging wave, filling the air around them.
These two were Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
"Do you sense anything?"
As Long Xiaoyao stepped into the auction pavilion, he immediately released his spiritual power, carefully sensing everything around him.
But he didn't detect any abnormal signs.
"Not yet. Don't rush. Once the auction begins, perhaps we will understand the mystery behind this."
Ye Xishui shook her head slightly, her tone carrying a hint of mystery.
Then, the two of them slowly walked toward the interior of the auction pavilion, every step steady and powerful.
"Mu Lao, how is this possible? They actually came personally!"
Xuan Lao was stunned, his voice trembling slightly.
He was well aware of the terrifying strength of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao; these two were among the peak existences on Douluo Continent.
They were rarely seen in public, and yet, they had both appeared here. It was almost impossible to believe.
Xuan Lao's aura became tightly wound, always ready to respond to any potential danger.
His eyes were full of vigilance, staring intently at Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, afraid they might suddenly act.
Although Xuan Lao understood that the final auction item at this event was incredibly precious and would surely attract powerful individuals, the arrival of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao still filled him with an indescribable unease.
He couldn't help but wonder: What was their real purpose here? Was it just for the final auction item?
Or was there a deeper conspiracy at play?
"Don't panic. Their purpose is likely related to the auction items, especially the final item."
Mu Lao, though appearing calm on the outside, had a subtle hint of gravity in his eyes.
Looking at Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, memories from the past involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Those past events related to them came rushing into his thoughts.
Mu Lao sighed lightly, stood up, and patted Xuan Lao's shoulder, attempting to ease his tension.
"Let's wait and see. No need to be too nervous."
"No, Mu Lao! This auction is too important. How about I send a message to Yan Shaozhe and have him send some Title Douluo-level powerhouses over, just in case?"
Xuan Lao was still unwilling to relax. He knew the risks of this auction, and any unforeseen accidents could have disastrous consequences.
He looked at Mu Lao with serious concern and anxiety.
"There's no need for such drastic measures."
Mu Lao slowly shook his head, rejecting Xuan Lao's suggestion. "Let's observe the situation first. I believe they won't make a move."
Mu Lao knew that sending a message to Yan Shaozhe to bring in Title Douluo-level powerhouses might cause unnecessary trouble, complicating the situation further.
Xuan Lao sighed helplessly, still feeling uneasy, but ultimately, he followed Mu Lao's advice.
He slowly sat back down, but his eyes never left Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, always watching their every move.
At this time, Huo Yuhao and the others were also stunned by the sight before them.
They didn't understand who these two masked figures were or why they caused such a serious reaction from Mu Lao and Xuan Lao.
In their minds, Mu Lao and Xuan Lao were powerful, well-traveled seniors. Anyone who could make them act with such vigilance had to be someone extraordinary.
"Mu Lao, Xuan Lao, who are these two?"
Unable to contain his curiosity, Huo Yuhao quietly asked Xuan Lao.
"They are the two other Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses on Douluo Continent besides me."
When Mu Lao heard Huo Yuhao's question, a faint smile appeared on his face as he slowly spoke.
It was as if he was talking about something completely ordinary.
However, though his tone was calm, these words landed like a bomb in the hearts of Huo Yuhao and the others, creating shockwaves.
"What? Two Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses?"
Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan were stunned upon hearing this, their faces filled with disbelief.
