"Bastard!"

In the dark corner of the hall, three figures glared viciously at the private room on the third floor where Jiang Chen and the others were.

"Those Thunder Fruits must be the Thunder Fruits in big brother's Space Ring!"

Tong Hai spoke gloomily, "Changlin Academy does not practice the Thunder Path; it's impossible for them to have collected so many Thunder Fruits!"

"We've been tricked by that kid!"

The killing intent emerged in Tong He's eyes, "That kid deliberately hid the Space Ring, then deliberately removed things from the Space Ring; he must be feeling guilty! He must know something about big brother's death!"

"Capture that kid and get to the bottom of it!"

Tong Hu spoke coldly, the killing intent from his body already seeping out uncontrollably.

The three of them had decided to come to the auction after finding out Jiang Chen and the others were attending, and unexpectedly discovered some clues.

Swish!

A figure appeared beside the three, the elder of the Canghai Trade Alliance who had previously disciplined Hei Mo.

As an elder of the Mingqian Realm branch and the person responsible for overseeing the highest-level auction venue, the elder's strength had also reached the Late Integration Realm.

"Gentlemen, this is the Canghai Trade Alliance!"

The elder stared directly at the three.

He did not ask them why they exposed their killing intent, nor did he wish to inquire. The Canghai Trade Alliance usually doesn't involve itself in troublesome matters; they're a trade alliance, and harmony brings wealth. Involving themselves in trouble is bound to offend someone, but he would not allow Tong Hai and the others to cause disturbances here. The Canghai Trade Alliance was not afraid of the Domain Lord's Mansion of Mingqian Realm!

Whoosh!

Taking a deep breath, Tong Hai gently tugged on Tong He and Tong Hu, bowing to the elder, "Rest assured Elder Xu, we know the rules and won't take action here!"

Elder Xu nodded slightly, returned the bow, and vanished from sight.

"Fourth brother, we definitely can't let that kid off!"

Tong He spoke coldly.

"With Hu Yiqiu and Sang Zhenye by his side, it's difficult to make a move. If we act, it might alert Zhang Yubo; if big brother's death has nothing to do with him, fine, but if it does, he'll definitely be wary of us! There are still three days until the Mingqian Banquet; during these three days, we'll watch that kid closely and find an opportunity!"

Tong Hai said deeply, his eyes also revealing killing intent!

"Grade seven Thunder Fruits? I remember the elder Tong Jiang from the Domain Lord's Mansion also has some Thunder Fruits. Unexpectedly, Changlin Academy has them too!"

Hei Mo's voice full of implication rang out in the auction venue; however, he did not increase the bid.

In the third-floor room, Jiang Chen and the others furrowed their brows.

"That bastard!"

Hu Yiqiu gritted his teeth and glanced at the position on the second floor.

"It seems our guess was right! Blackwind Fortress is definitely related to Domain Lord Zhang Yubo; otherwise, they could never have known Tong Jiang has Thunder Fruits! Elder Tong Jiang isn't foolish; he wouldn't flaunt it after obtaining such Spirit Fruits!"

Jiang Chen's gaze was frighteningly somber. He hadn't expected Hei Mo to know Tong Jiang had Thunder Fruits; this way, Domain Lord Zhang Yubo would surely find out, and by then, Zhang Yubo would definitely be wary of Changlin Academy.

Hei Mo's words also revealed that Elder Tong Jiang is suspected to be the mysterious Integration Realm Peak expert who attacked Changlin Academy.

If Zhang Yubo finds out, he might even want to kill him.

This way, even if Jiang Chen and the others don't know Tong Jiang is the mysterious expert, they'll start making connections in this direction!

Upon hearing this, Sun Peng in the corner furrowed his brows, glanced at the room on the third floor, then looked at Hei Mo's location, his expression solemn, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.

Pang Guang on the auction stage trembled fiercely inside, his eyes revealing shock.

With the power of the Canghai Trade Alliance, it's not difficult to know the strength level of the person who had attacked Changlin Academy. He knew the attacker was from Panlong Sect, and also knew during that battle a mysterious Integration Realm Peak expert appeared. If that person is really Tong Jiang...

Does the Domain Lord want to move against Changlin Academy!? How dare he? Aren't he afraid of retaliation from Changling Main Court?

Pang Guang was deeply shaken, his gaze flickered unsteadily, and his brows tightly knitted together.

This Mingqian Realm seems to be on the verge of a storm!

"Grade seven Spirit Fruit... I really want to eat it!"

The young voice from the corner echoed again, this time seeming a bit annoyed: "Thunder Spirit Pill, Dragon Saliva Herb, Spatial Spirit Fruit, Thunder Fruit, I want to eat them all, what should I do?"

"Oh dear, an old man at the Late Integration Realm over there, a Mid Integration Realm old man and a Late Integration Realm old man on that side, at the top are two Late Integration Realm old men, it's so difficult!"

The black robe fluttered a few times, glanced at Sun Peng in another corner, and then looked at the second and third floors. The annoyed youthful voice emerged again: "If I try to snatch them, I'll definitely be discovered. Why are they so powerful? Being discovered isn't good, mother and father said I shouldn't be discovered by too many people, otherwise they'll lock me up and won't let me out!"

"It's all Dragon Grandpa's fault, leaving my body's trouble unsolved before running off, really, causing my strength to fluctuate, needing to sleep for a while only to sleep for hundreds of years, what a bother!"

"Little girl, what are you muttering about?"

Suddenly, a call rang out, and a man and a woman appeared out of thin air beside the figure in the black robe, their eyes filled with loving tenderness as they looked at the small figure.

"Father, mother? Why are you here?"

The figure in the black robe looked up at them in surprise.

From within the black robe, a cute, pink face emerged, looking only five or six years old.

"You've been out for a while, it's time to go back!"

The man gently patted the little girl's head.

"No, I've only been out for a few days!"

The little girl pouted discontentedly.

"Don't be naughty; your escape has caused quite a stir in the clan. If we hadn't helped you, the Great Elder would've personally come to catch you!"

The woman looked at the girl indulgently and laughed lightly.

Upon hearing the words 'Great Elder,' the little girl shivered slightly and pouted, "Bad old man!"

Then the girl's face turned into a slight pout, seemingly realizing she had to go back, she glanced at the furnace on the auction stage and said softly, "I've exchanged for something, can I leave after getting the item?"

The two were stunned for a moment, glanced around, recognized the place, and nodded with a light laugh.

"Father, mother, there are so many delicious things here, can we take them?"

The little girl turned her eyes, pulling at the man's hands expectantly.

"Little girl, don't think about it. Even if we aren't afraid of all the people here teaming up, you can't just snatch other people's things, can you?"

The man pressed his hand on the little girl's head, applying a bit of pressure.

"Ah! Annoying, don't press my head, it won't grow tall!"

The little girl flailed, slapping the man's hand off her head, glaring at him in dissatisfaction.

"Haha!"

Pfft!

Both the man and the woman were amused to laughter, their eyes overflowing with affection.
