C147 The Auction Begins
"Yeah, I just don't know how to get out of this black street. If possible, please let me know. " Ye Heng respectfully asked the bald middle-aged man.
This was a man worthy of respect. Furthermore, Ye Heng still had a request for him, so his attitude was very respectful.
Seeing Ye Heng's respectful attitude, The slight discomfort in his heart disappeared. "No problem. Little brother, follow me. "
As the bald middle-aged man spoke, he waved his hand and slapped the circular hole in the middle of the stone door.
"Rumble. "
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the huge stone door slowly opened to the side.
Ye Heng had also checked the circular hole earlier, but he did not find anything unusual. He had also patted it like the bald middle-aged man, but he did not open the stone door.
Maybe it was because his pat was not right.
Ye Heng muttered in his heart. Then he followed the bald middle-aged man and strode into the stone door.
After stepping into the stone door, Ye Heng only felt an unknown thing run out of his body and then permeate the air.
Combined with what Situ Ming had said earlier, this should be the price he had paid for the passage of time.
Of course, that discomfort only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared in the next moment, as if it had never appeared before.
And at this moment, the bald middle-aged man's figure in front of Ye Heng began to blur.
Then, he twisted and disappeared. Similarly, Ye Heng found that he was the same as the bald middle-aged man.
However, he didn't feel any pain or discomfort throughout the whole process.
After a breath of time, Ye Heng felt his eyes light up. He subconsciously closed his eyes.
After five breaths, he opened his eyes again.
Ye Heng found that he was standing in front of the small broken door that handsome scholar had brought him to.
The bald middle-aged man who had been walking in front of Ye Heng did not appear next to him. It seemed like he would come out of the black street wherever he went.
Presumably, the bald middle-aged man also came out from the black street that he had entered ten years ago.
Rubbing his slightly dizzy head, Ye Heng walked towards the exit of this shabby little path.
This trip to Black Street had to be said that he had not let this trip down.
The things on his hands that could not be seen in the light were disposed of, and he had also earned thirty-three thousand Essence Crystals, as well as a huge favor from Situ Lan.
Even if Ye Heng did not need this favor in the future, he could still take the token Situ Lan gave him to the Northern Jiang Empire to exchange for fifty thousand crystals.
The Essence Crystal was a really good thing. As long as you were a martial artist, you would never complain about it being too much.
It was not an exaggeration to say that in a martial artist's world, there was nothing that Essence Crystal could not buy. If there were, then it was just that you did not have enough Essence Crystals.
This time, he had obtained a total of 33,000 crystals. Adding the previous Essence Crystals, Ye Heng was now a tycoon with 37,000 crystals.
Ye Heng raised his head and looked at the sky. He was afraid that it would be less than four hours before he entered the black street.
It was still quite early, so he could make some necessary preparations.
. . .
Time flew by. The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Because of the prior investigation yesterday, Ye Heng didn't spend much effort to find the venue of the auction held by Wan Yuansan.
It had to be said that Wan Yuansan was really generous this time.
This time, the auction was held in the center of the most prosperous street in Chiang Capital, Huarong Street. The main venue of the auction was a five-story building with an imposing appearance.
Anyone who looked at it would be speechless by the luxury of this building.
Besides, there were six other halls next to the main hall. Each hall would hold a small scale auction at the same time.
Of course, compared to the main venue, the auction held by the branches was far less valuable than the auction items.
However, the auction was only meant for those who had just entered the Martial Path or even ordinary mortals. Therefore, it could not be compared with the auction, which was a high rank martial artist.
At a glance, the front door of each auction was filled with people.
Although it was said to be packed, they were actually queuing in line. They entered the venue of the auction according to the number plates in their hands.
There were a lot of Essence Gate Stage warriors in line in front of the main hall, but the problem was that the Essence Strength Undulations emitted from the guards were no less than Essence Gate Stage warriors.
In addition, the total number of Essence Gate Stage warriors in the hall was more than twenty, and there were eight of them in the main hall.
If any blind guy were to cause trouble here, he was afraid that he would be subdued by these Essence Gate Stage warriors as soon as possible.
Most importantly, this was only the combat strength that was shown on the surface.
In fact, Ye Heng had also sensed the powerful auras of twenty to thirty people hidden in the various places.
Presumably, those were the means that Wan Yuansan had arranged.
Putting away his gaze that was scanning the surroundings, Ye Heng took out the Jade Plate that Faang Yang had given him when he was free. It was engraved with a total of one hundred and sixty-three Jade Plates of the auction. After that, he walked towards the main hall.
This Jade Plate had to be said to be special because it would only display the number when the date of the auction arrived.
Normally, no one would be able to link this ordinary Jade Plate to the large auction organized by Wan Yuansan.
Just as Ye Heng arrived at the main hall's queue, he saw two familiar figures at the back of the queue.
That's right. Those two were Faang Yang and Faang Pi, who had separated a few days ago.
However, the strange thing was that Ye Wuming wasn't walking with them.
Faang Yang and Faang Pi, who were in front of them, seemed to have sensed the people behind them. They turned around and wanted to see who it was.
"Cousin, look, there are people who came later than us. So don't complain. Besides, it's better to come earlier than later. Maybe we can meet some familiar faces. " This was Faang Yang's voice.
Right after Faang Yang finished speaking, Faang Pi immediately replied, "Cousin, don't explain anymore. It's because you slept in the morning that we came so late. I wonder if Mr Ye is safe now. I really hope I can see him as soon as possible. "
"Don't worry. Mr Ye's life is harder than a cockroach's. He will be fine. Maybe he is right behind us now? "
At this moment, just as Faang Yang finished speaking, he turned around.
Thus, an awkward look appeared in his eyes.
He saw Ye Heng standing there, looking at Faang Yang with a smile on his face.
Faang Yang didn't have time to react. He pointed at Ye Heng and continued, "Cousin, look, I told you. Mr Ye might be lining up behind us right now. When did your cousin lie? Eh? Wait a minute. Ye. Brother? "
Faang Yang pointed at Ye Heng with a dull face. His eyes were filled with surprise, and the flesh on his face was trembling uncontrollably. From this, one could imagine how intense the emotional fluctuation in his heart was at this moment.
"Eh? Cousin, why aren't you saying anything? You don't have to use Mr Ye to trick me anymore," Faang Pi complained and turned around curiously.
As soon as he turned around, Faang Pi first saw Faang Yang who was in a daze. Then, he looked in the direction where Faang Yang pointed and saw Ye Heng.
Compared to Faang Yang's reaction, Faang Pi's reaction was much more normal.
"Mr Ye, is it really you? I knew you would be fine. I have always believed that you would be able to walk out of there. " Faang Pi's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and his voice was slightly trembling.
After all, it was extremely difficult to walk out of that deep forest alone.
Furthermore, he had to avoid the attack of the Strange Beast. The degree of danger involved was self-evident.
Seeing Faang Pi who was about to cry, Ye Heng's expression could not help but calm down. He walked to Faang Pi's side and gently patted his shoulder, saying, "Men should not cry easily. Am I not living well?"
"I am not crying!" Faang Pi turned his head away when he heard him. He used his sleeve to wipe the water from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Faang Yang, who had a slow reaction, slowly came back to his senses.
Compared to Faang Pi's excitement, Faang Yang's expression was unusually calm.
There was no other reason except that he was worried whether Ye Heng had heard what he had said before.
However, after thinking for a moment, with his small brain, he deduced that Ye Heng must have heard everything.
Therefore, Faang Yang was looking for a way to solve the problem.
"That, Mr Ye, I was just making an analogy. Don't mind me. Really, it was just an analogy. Hey. . . Hey. " At the end of his sentence, Faang Yang rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and laughed awkwardly.
However, Ye Heng's focus was not there at the moment, so he did not pursue it further.
"My uncle. . . I was thinking, why isn't that uncle surnamed Ye with you?" Just as Ye Heng was about to call him uncle, he suddenly remembered that his relationship with Ye Wuming was better the less people knew about it, so he swallowed the word 'uncle' back down.
Faang Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Just as he was about to answer Ye Heng's question, Faang Pi, who was next to him, had already answered for him.
"Uncle Ye, he said he has something to do. So, he won't be with us anymore. So, after we entered the Chiang Capital, we didn't see him again. " Faang Pi nodded his head and replied to Ye Heng.
"Oh, I see. " Hearing Faang Pi's reply, Ye Heng slightly nodded his head. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
Just as Ye Heng was about to say something, two girls walked over from afar.
When Ye Heng's peripheral vision swept across the two of them, he was slightly startled and swallowed the words that he was about to say.
Ye Heng knew these two girls.
It was precisely Wan Zhaojun who was with them yesterday and the girl she called Aunt Yin.
