People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 132 A Gathering of Powerful Figures, Frequent Appearances of Dou Zong
The Black Emperor Pavilion is a residence in the Black Emperor City specifically used to entertain powerful figures renowned in the Black Corner Region. Those who receive an invitation and reside there are all powerful figures and leaders of forces with considerable reputations in the Black Corner Region.

Within a hundred meters of the Black Emperor Pavilion, the Black Emperor Sect guards are heavily armed and anyone who gets too close will be immediately driven away.

When Chen Xiao and his two companions arrived, the place was already bustling with people. With their strength, they could sense that there were more than a handful of Dou Huang experts in the Black Emperor Pavilion!
There are more than ten at the Battle King level!

"There's a very strong aura emanating from it; it must be a Dou Zong expert. Could it be Mo Tianxing?"

Upon arriving outside the Black Emperor Pavilion, Little Fairy Doctor transmitted her voice with a serious expression.

Little Fairy Doctor possesses the Calamity Poison Body, Zi Yan is a girl with superhuman strength, and Chen Xiao's overall abilities far surpass those of his peers. None of the three are ordinary Dou Huangs.

Without a doubt, only a Dou Zong level expert could make them feel pressure!
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly: "It's unlikely. Mo Tianxing is a Dou Zong expert and the head of a sect. The probability of him personally entertaining guests is extremely low. It should be some expert who came to participate in the auction."

After a month of building momentum, the news of this large-scale auction had already spread throughout the entire Black Corner Region, so it was not surprising that even Dou Zong powerhouses were attracted to it.

Chen Xiao knew all about the Dou Zong experts in the Black Corner Region, including the Soul Hall Protector.

The strange fellows of the Soul Palace wouldn't get involved in such matters, and the old demon was busy in seclusion trying to break through to a higher realm. So, the answer is obvious.

Nine times out of ten, it's that unlucky old man from Eagle Mountain again!
Little Fairy Doctor looked solemn, her brows furrowed, and she fell into a long silence.

A Dou Zong-level competitor is undoubtedly a formidable obstacle in her path. The thought that the other party might also covet the Bodhi Transformation Saliva filled her with worry. In this auction house teeming with powerful figures, how easy would it be to outbid a Dou Zong expert?
Even if we try to find another way afterward, we will inevitably face a tough battle.

"Don't worry, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva isn't just something that we and this Dou Zong powerhouse are interested in. This item is related to the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree. Just that alone is enough to drive the entire Black Corner Region crazy. Even if he is a Dou Zong powerhouse, it won't be so easy for him to take it away. Moreover, he might not be able to beat us."

Chen Xiao patted Little Fairy Doctor's hand to comfort her, saying that Zixiao Pavilion had been operating for so long and had held many auctions, selling off five sets of Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills in exchange for countless resources.

In terms of wealth, Old Man Yingshan might not be able to compare with him.

More importantly, thanks to his memory advantage, Chen Xiao knew exactly what price the Elder of Eagle Mountain would offer for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, which undoubtedly provided them with great convenience in bidding for it.

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor felt a little relieved, her tense shoulders relaxed, and she gave a soft "hmm," her worry fading slightly.

Outside the Black Emperor Pavilion, there was a human wall of guards set up by the Black Emperor Sect, and in the empty space in the middle of the human wall, an old man in a blue robe stood there with a smile.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the other two approaching, the old man in blue robes hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. He glanced at the three of them, then put on a big smile and spoke with utmost courtesy.

"Distinguished guests, this is a residence prepared by the Black Emperor Sect for you. May I ask if you possess any tokens issued by our sect?"

Chen Xiao and the other two took a closer look at the blue-robed elder and were surprised to find that he was also a Dou Huang expert, and his apparent cultivation level was higher than theirs, with an aura comparable to that of the old man Ban who had accompanied Han Feng through the ordeal.

With such strength, in the Black Corner Region, they would be fully qualified to dominate a region and establish their own independent entity!

As their understanding of the Black Corner Region deepened, the three became increasingly aware that the seemingly authoritative black list was actually undeserving of its reputation, filled with exaggerations and falsehoods, and extremely unreliable.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Xiao calmly cupped his hands in greeting to the old man in blue robes, then took out the token that the old man had given him at the city gate and handed it to him.

The old man in blue robes took the token, his smile widening as he carefully scanned Chen Xiao and the other two: "I am Che Cheng, an elder of the Black Emperor Sect. Please, after entering the Black Emperor Pavilion, someone will guide you to your lodgings."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, and with a step, he walked into the passage behind the old man.

Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan followed closely behind.

Only after the three disappeared from sight did a figure dressed in a white robe appear.

"Elder Che Cheng, what do you think?"

The old man in blue robes shook his head: "We still can't confirm whether they are from the Purple Cloud Pavilion. According to the information we have gathered, the Purple Cloud Pavilion's strength half a year ago included a mysterious Dou Zong, a five-star Dou Huang with ice attributes, and three peak Dou Wangs."

"But these three are all Dou Huang powerhouses, one of whom is even a three-star Dou Huang. Even if the three Dou Wangs broke through all at once in the past six months, it would be impossible for them to improve so quickly. Moreover, the Zixiao Pavilion Master Chen Xiao has a very good relationship with the Dou Wang who looks like a little girl. They go everywhere together. The three of them don't look alike either."

The old man in the blue robe analyzed the situation logically and with evidence, his words revealing his doubts about the identities of Chen Xiao and the other two.

It's no wonder he couldn't be sure; even a normal person wouldn't imagine that someone in the Northwest region could actually rise from a nine-star Dou Wang to a three-star Dou Huang in just seven months!

Such a speed is something that 99% of the general public in the world cannot achieve even when they reach the Dou Zhe realm.

Zi Yan is the same; she can change size at will. Who would have thought she was so amazing?
The young man in white robes nodded slightly, gazing in the direction where Chen Xiao and the other two had left, lost in thought.

"Young Sect Master, don't overthink it. Although the strongest of these three is only a three-star Dou Huang, I can feel considerable pressure from each of them, which shows that their strength is far from what it seems."

Seeing the white-robed youth's expression, Che Cheng gave a serious reminder.

As a senior elder of the Black Emperor Sect, he had a clear understanding of the young sect leader's character and conduct.

On the surface, this young sect leader is elegant and courteous, but deep down he is arrogant and always attributes his achievements to his innate talent. In private, he is prone to petty and despicable acts. It is only in the Black Corner Region that he is likely to cause trouble for the sect.

Che Cheng's words were firm and resolute, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Mo Ya's expression changed slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he helplessly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

...

Silent all night.

The next day, as the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, the Black Imperial City, which had been silent all night, suddenly burst forth with tremendous vitality. The empty streets were quickly filled with figures pouring out from all directions, and all these figures were heading in the same direction: the huge auction square in the center of the city!

Today, the Black Emperor Sect and the Eight Doors are jointly hosting what is touted as the grandest auction in a century, and it is about to begin.

Inside a room in the Black Emperor Pavilion, Chen Xiao was awakened by the sound of Zi Yan chewing. Although the problem with the Transformation Grass had been solved, this girl had retained her years-old habit of taking drugs.

Cao Ying was truly exceptional to her. She had probably anticipated this situation, and while delivering the Transformation Pill, she also prepared a lot of fourth-grade snacks for Zi Yan.

With a helpless glance at the boundless dragon-man, Chen Xiao finished his cultivation, stood up, and tossed her a black robe.

"Hurry up and put them on. The auction is probably about to start. Today will be a tough day, so don't be too careless."

Zi Yan swallowed the pill in her mouth, picked up the black robe from the ground, held it up to her body, and then returned it to Chen Xiao with a look of disgust.

"The black robe you prepared for me was just the right size for me a few years ago, it's too small now."

Zi Yan stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, exuding wealth and generosity, completely ignoring the private instructions given to her by Queen Medusa.

After showing off her formidable strength, Zi Yan took out a larger black robe from her storage ring and put it on, completely covering her alluring body.

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly, put on his black robe, and then pushed open the door to go out. He called Little Fairy Doctor from the next room, and together they headed out of the Black Emperor Pavilion.

The auction held by the Black Emperor Sect was located in an exceptionally spacious auction hall in the city center. However, even so, the Black Emperor Sect seemed to underestimate the appeal of this auction.

When Chen Xiao and his two companions arrived at the auction venue, they looked up and saw a dense, seemingly endless crowd.

Fortunately, the Black Emperor Sect seemed to have anticipated this situation and therefore set up a special channel for the powerful members of the Black Corner Region.

Arriving at the VIP seating area through the private passage, the front row of the auction hall resembled individual small rooms, uniquely designed and exceptionally luxurious, each capable of accommodating four or five people. Sitting in one of these rooms, the noise from behind seemed to be completely shut out, and looking down offered an excellent view of every corner of the auction hall's center.

Upon arriving here, the surroundings immediately became much quieter. The powerful figures from the Black Corner Region, maintaining their status, sat silently in their seats like gods of death. Only a very few close friends were whispering or exchanging whispers.

Blood Sect…

Black Skull Tomb…

Rakshasa Gate…

Demon Flame Valley...

From their aura and the patterns on their bodies, it is easy to tell where they come from.

Chen Xiao's gaze swept around and finally landed on an old man with gray hair and an aquiline nose sitting in the corner of the front row.

The arena was filled with powerful individuals, but this one person alone put immense pressure on him.

Old Man of Eagle Mountain!

Without giving it much of a second glance, Chen Xiao withdrew his gaze, sat down with Little Fairy Doctor Zi Yan, closed his eyes slightly, and waited for the auction to begin.

As Chen Xiao closed his eyes, a large influx of people soon poured into the auction house, and the VIP seats in the front row became increasingly crowded. In about 15 minutes, all the seats in the VIP section were filled.

Just then, a clear chime suddenly rang out from the center of the auction hall, its gentle sway echoing throughout the entire venue and silencing the clamor.

As the chime of the bell slowly faded, Chen Xiao opened his eyes to look.

Above the auction stage, an energy halo slowly extended upwards, eventually sealing it off like a prison – a protective measure.

The people of the Black Corner Region are mostly lawless, and robbing auction items is extremely common. This is why ordinary forces only dare to hold small auctions; without some strength, they simply cannot control the situation.

The Black Emperor Sect is certainly not an ordinary force, but given the extreme value of the items being auctioned, they have to proceed with extreme caution.

"It's finally about to begin."

As Zi Yan's mutterings faded, everyone saw the auction stage floor slowly crack open amidst a low, metallic scraping sound, revealing a staircase leading underground, which appeared before the eyes of countless people in the auction hall.

A staircase appeared, and then an old man in a golden robe walked out slowly with a smile on his face.

As soon as this person appeared, a powerful aura slowly swept out from his body.

Under this terrifying aura, the noise in the huge auction hall also quieted down, and even the old man from Eagle Mountain in the corner sat up slightly.

"The Black Emperor Sect Master, Mo Tianxing!"

The Little Fairy Doctor looked solemn; the pressure she felt from this person was no less than that from the Old Man of Eagle Mountain.

Fortunately, the Black Emperor Sect is the organizer, so normally they shouldn't have to confront this person.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mo Tianxing strolled to the front of the stage and calmly surveyed the entire audience.

"Hehe, I am Mo Tianxing. I'm sure many of you know me, so I won't go into too much detail about myself. I am grateful for your patronage. Today, the Black Emperor Sect and the Eight Doors are jointly hosting this auction, all thanks to your presence."

Mo Tianxing's eyes were sharp as he scanned the crowd, pausing briefly at several key locations. His loud voice, carrying an air of authority, clearly reached every corner of the venue.

Finally shifting his gaze from Chen Xiao and the other two, Mo Tianxing's expression hardened, and he slammed down the auction gavel, the resounding sound echoing throughout the hall.

"I will not say any more. Now, the Black Emperor Sect Auction officially begins!"
