Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 11 - The Beginning of the Auction

As soon as he exited the Black Mark Auction House, Xiao Yan walked straight back to the inn where he was staying. He rested in his small room until the time for the auction to begin. Only then did he break out of his training mode and put on his large black robe, completely refreshed. He then left the inn at a steady pace, once again walking to the auction venue.

When Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the auction house, a large crowd that was almost crowded with noises shot up into the sky, causing him to become a little dull. He had not expected the Great Auction Exhibition would actually attract so many people. It is indeed worthy of being called a big event in ‘Black’ Corner Region.

Xiao Yan tried to enter through the human traffic before he helplessly retreated. ‘This Black’ Corner Region cannot compare to the Jia Ma Empire. If someone were to cut the queue here, there would soon be dozens of fists thrown violently. After all, the temperament of the people in ‘Black’ Corner Region is not as gentle as those in the outside world. If they had a disagreement, pulling their knives and slashing at others was something that was a common sight.

Xiao Yan withdrew from the flow of humans, who were shouting nonstop. His gaze swept around him and immediately stopped at another pathway, other than the main entrance of the auction house. Compared to this place, the entrance was a completely different sight. The wide walkway was covered by a red-colored carpet and there were over ten black-clothed men with cold expressions placed around the place. The extremely thick and dark presence faintly escaping from their bodies frightened the human crowd beside them until they dared not approach. Therefore, this resulted in the formation of an empty area in the path.

When Xiao Yan's gaze swept over, he inadvertently saw a group of people walking into the red-colored carpeted path. His gaze swept over this group of people, and finally stopped at a young man who looked too pale, handsome, in the middle. From his outer appearance, his age seemed to be around twenty-four or twenty-five. However, from the small waves that caused wisps of energy to be occasionally emitted from within his body, his strength was most likely at least around the Dou Ling class!

"This guy's strength is pretty good. Moreover, he was actually this young? Looks like this ‘Black’ Corner Region is really a tiger and dragon hideout. " Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised as he looked at the young man with a pale expression, while he muttered in his heart.

"Hey, look over there. It seems like people from the Blood Sect? "

"They are indeed a group of people who are overpowered. The person in the middle was definitely the Junior Sect Leader, Fan Ling, right? Hee hee, it is said that the disappearance of an Elder from ‘Eight Gate’ recently had something to do with him. "

"The blood all over his body had been drained, it seemed like his blood had been drained completely and forced by someone. Only the Blood Sect was interested in such things. It's just that it's really unexpected that he actually still dares to come to the old lair ‘Eight Gate’. "

"What did he not dare to do? His father was a strong man who ranked fifth in ‘Black’ Rankings. Yuan Yu was very far away from him. Moreover, the power of the Blood Sect was greater than ‘Eight Gate’. Do they dare to touch Fan Ling here? Were they not afraid that his father would bring people, and wash ‘Black Mark City’ with blood in his anger? "

Xiao Yan suddenly realized the moment he heard the private conversation transmitted from the human flow. His gaze was once again fixed on the young man's face, and recalling the faction called ‘The Blood’ Sect was deep in his heart.

Seemingly sensing a somewhat different gaze, the young man, who was about to enter the auction house, suddenly stopped his steps. He tilted his head slightly and his extremely cold eyes, which did not have the slightest emotion, glanced directly at Xiao Yan, whose entire body was hidden in a black robe, stood some distance away. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows slightly, hesitating for a moment before entering the auction house while carrying some doubts between his eyebrows.

"’This Black’ Corner Region doesn't seem to have many normal people." The thick and cold gaze of the young man caused Xiao Yan to have a certain feeling of being stared at by the blood-sucking bat from within the darkness. He stretched out his hand while bitterly laughing in his heart.

Not long after a group of people from ‘Blood’ Sect entered the auction house, there were several groups of people who entered it immediately after them. These people, without exception, are people from the powerful factions in ‘Black’ Corner Region, judging by the private whispers around. This really opened Xiao Yan's eyes.

Xiao Yan stared at the empty and calm carpeted path. He then stared at the main entrance, which was filled with people, and could not help but feel speechless.

"All they had were a few broken VIP cards. What to be proud of. ‘These eight Gates’ are just after the money. I used to at least auction off items worth over fifty thousand, but I didn't see them giving me one. " Just as Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the carpeted path, a thin man by his side, who was also pushed by the human flow, also looked into the carpeted path and involuntarily cursed gently. However, from his eyes, it was obvious that he was extremely jealous.

"VIP Card?" Xiao Yan's heart was moved upon hearing this. He also recalled that the previous people seemed to have taken out cards from within their sleeves upon entering the path. He rubbed his storage ring and an emerald card jumped out. Xiao Yan remembered that the old man at ‘Treasure Check Room has said that this thing is a second-rate VIP card, right?

"What do you see? Are you approaching death? " It seemed to have sensed the gaze of Xiao Yan, who was wrapped in a black robe, being thrown, the skinny man immediately showed a ferocious expression and spoke ferociously.

Xiao Yan ignored this madman and directly walked towards the carpeted path under the latter's stunned gaze.

"Chi, this person ..." The skinny man curled his lips when he saw Xiao Yan's action. Previously, he had also seen Xiao Yan come out of the human flow. Therefore, he would naturally not think that this person, who was dressed so shabby, could actually have a VIP card of this ‘Black’ Sign Auction House. After all, those who had the card were from some fairly powerful faction, or those who had auctioned off items worth over two million gold coins to obtain a third-rate VIP card. TL: The value of VIP card – the lower the number the better for example the first is better than the second

Two million. For most people in ‘Black’ Corner Region, this price is a very large amount that can be expected, but will never be obtained. This point could be seen from how Xiao Yan had only obtained a reward of five thousand gold coins to protect Duo Ma completely. Xiao Yan was a Da Dou Shi, but his compensation was still very low. Please be aware that a Da Dou Shi is worthy of starting a Clan in the Jia Ma Empire. In this world, it is not easy to earn money. Otherwise, some Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, or even Dou Wang within the ‘Black’ Corner Region would not be able to swoop so low that it should be a killer.

Due to the reasons mentioned above, the skinny man secretly mocked Xiao Yan upon seeing Xiao Yan's actions. Of course, his ridicule did not last long and the ferocious expression on his face turned stiff. This was because Xiao Yan had just paused for a moment on the carpeted path before he stepped onto that extremely soft red carpet.

"He's got a VIP card, but he's also here to blackmail? Does he have a problem? " The skinny man's eyes were a bit red with envy. This was especially when Xiao Yan turned his head and looked towards him after entering the auction venue. The skinny man was so angry that he clawed his head. He clearly sensed that there was a mocking look glaring at him under the black robe.

The lighting was a bit dark as Xiao Yan entered the tunnel. He moved along the corridor to the end before he made a turn. Immediately, an unrivalled auction area appeared in Xiao Yan's sight, causing him to breathe in a breath of cool air.

This auction venue was larger than any auction venue that Xiao Yan had seen in his life. The overcrowded seats and the auction platform, which seemed to be made of bright crystals, caused people to be dazzled.

"Sir, may I ask what is your seat number?" As Xiao Yan was taking a look, a beautiful female servant walked over quickly and asked respectfully.

Xiao Yan did not reply. He immediately handed me the emerald card. When the female servant saw the color of the card, a strange glint flashed across her eyes. His attitude became much more respectful. With a slight bow, he softly said, "Master, you have a second-rate VIP card. Please follow me."

As soon as he finished saying this, the female servant hurriedly took the lead, while Xiao Yan swayed leisurely behind.

The female servant went back and forth inside the large auction venue for nearly ten minutes before she stopped in an area close to the crystal auction platform. He pointed to the chair and smiled at Xiao Yan before bowing and then retreating.

Xiao Yan walked over to the spacious and extremely luxurious seat before sitting down. That gentle feeling almost made his body have the urge to curl up in it. Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the ordinary chair in the back. He involuntarily inhaled the air once more. This is a privilege, a privilege born of money.

As he sat on the chair, Xiao Yan's brows suddenly twitched. He raised his head and his gaze turned to a row of chairs not far in front of him. He could see that the Junior Sect Leader of ‘Secte Blood’, Fan Ling, who had appeared at the entrance earlier, was looking at him with a rather strange gaze.

Xiao Yan's brows, in the shadows, were slightly knitted. He ignored her and instantly closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

"Junior Sect Leader, what is it?" The pale-faced handsome young man slowly withdrew his gaze. At his side, a pale-faced old man asked softly.

"Nothing, it's just that I feel that person is a bit strange. Especially when I saw it, I actually felt a strange fear in my heart. " When he talked about this, Fan Ling laughed mockingly while shaking her head.

"Ke Ke, the Junior Sect Leader should have misunderstood. Although our Qi Sect Blood Technique is very dark and cold and naturally afraid of some extreme flames, not many people in the entire ‘Black’ Corner Region have such grade flames. " The old man said with a laugh.

"Maybe." The young man nodded. Some people who have such fire are strong people at the top in ‘Black’ Corner Region. This black-robed person, on the other hand, was clearly not among them. Immediately, he stopped having any wild thoughts and his gaze was directed towards the crystal platform. In a soft voice, he muttered, "I wonder if the news is true. If so, father says that we should get it by all means. "

"Hee hee, Junior Sect Leader, you can be sure that the Sect Leader has secretly made all the preparations. Even if the thing fell into the hands of others, he would not be able to walk more than five kilometers from ‘Black’ Sign City! " The old man laughed grimly.

"That'll be great." A dark and cold bow formed on the young man's face. He also gradually closed his eyes and quietly waited for the auction to begin.

While Fan Ling closed her eyes, the few factions not far away from them quietly whispered amongst themselves. If one could hear their conversation, he would find a common ground, which is that all of their conversations involve certain mysterious objects. Moreover, this thing seemed to be the last item to be auctioned at the auction fair!

About half an hour after Xiao Yan closed his eyes, a clear ‘gong’ slowly echoed within the auction venue. After hearing this ‘gong’ sound, Xiao Yan withdrew from his training mode, and sweeping noise like a magical sound flowed into his mind, causing him to shake his head violently. Only then did he maintain his composure. He raised his head and looked at the bright crystal platform. At this moment, there was a white-haired old man who looked like an auctioneer already standing with a smile on it.

It's finally about to start. Xiao Yan softly muttered as he stared at the enormous land, which looked so crowded that it was completely full. His black and black eyes contained a clear anticipation.
