The old man in the Profound Dragon Pavilion was actually a Deacon. His authority was second only to the Pavilion Master and the three Elders.
Usually, he could make decisions for most of the matters. However, he did not dare to make decisions for something as big as the Profound Dragon Auction. After all, it was the Profound Dragon Pavilion's signature.
Only the Pavilion Master could reserve a VIP room for others. Even if the three Elders were not present.
Fang Chen's wealth had already reached the standard of a VIP room. However, there were limited VIP rooms. He had to report it and get approval.
Not long after Fang Chen left, Deacon Bai arrived at the top floor of the Profound Dragon Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master and the three Elders were discussing the important matters of the Profound Dragon Auction that would be held three days later.
"First Elder, the people from the major forces will gradually arrive. You will be in charge of receiving them," the Pavilion Master said.
The First Elder nodded and said, "Rest assured, Pavilion Master. We have held the Profound Dragon Auction countless times. There will definitely not be any mistakes."
The Pavilion Master nodded and continued to give out orders, "Second Elder, you will be in charge of receiving the VIP guests. I will give you a list of the VIP guests later."
As for the Third Elder's task, it was to maintain the order of the Profound Dragon Auction. Once there was a disturbance, he would be executed on the spot.
Of course, under normal circumstances, almost no one would dare to cause trouble in the Profound Dragon Auction. However, it was better to be safe. After all, treasures could sometimes make people lose their minds.
"Pavilion Master, we have a total of nine VIP rooms. Now, eight of them have been reserved. Can I reserve the last one?"
The one who spoke was the Second Elder. He was mainly responsible for receiving the VIPs in the VIP rooms. Many people wanted to ask him for help and wanted to get the last VIP room.
Once he obtained the right to use the last VIP room, he would be able to obtain some benefits from the people who wanted to ask him for help.
The Pavilion Master naturally knew what the Second Elder was thinking. However, as long as it did not harm the interests of the Profound Dragon Pavilion, he did not care. He waved his hand and made a decision.
However, at this moment, the door opened and Deacon Bai walked in, panting.
"Pavilion Master, I have a VIP here. He wants to apply for the last VIP room. Please approve." When Deacon Bai heard that there was only one VIP room left, he was somewhat anxious.
He had already promised Fang Chen. If he couldn't do it, it would be difficult for him.
"Deacon Bai, the Pavilion Lord has just given me the right to use the last VIP room. I'm sorry, but there are also many people here who have applied for it," the Second Elder said coldly.
Although there were many people here who wanted to get a VIP room, they did not meet the criteria for a VIP room, so they could only ask the Second Elder for help.
Deacon Bai ignored the Second Elder. He cupped his fists at the Profound Dragon Pavilion Master and said, "Pavilion Master, my guest here is extremely wealthy. I suspect that he is from some hidden great clan. He is definitely qualified to occupy a VIP room."
After that, Deacon Bai told the Mysterious Dragon Pavilion Master everything that had just happened.
Upon hearing those words, the middle-aged man gasped in shock. A mountain of Saint-tier artifacts?
Where did this young man come from?
"You don't know him?" The Mysterious Dragon Pavilion Master asked.
Deacon Bai shook his head. "I've never seen him before. That's why I guessed that he's from a hidden clan. Otherwise, how could he have so many Saint-level weapons?"
Even though the great majority of those Saint-level Divine Armaments were damaged, merely the baleful aura contained within those weapons was enough to tell that they were extraordinary.
"Deacon Bai, do you think we're all fools?"
The Second Elder retorted. "Even the Great Snow Mountain and the Taixuan Sect are unable to take out a mountain of Saint-level weapons. How could a mere young martial artist have them?"
"Deacon Bai, in order to snatch the VIP room from me, you're really unscrupulous."
The Second Elder thought that Deacon Bai was deliberately competing with him.
In front of benefits, how could he give in?
"Deacon Bai," the Profound Dragon Pavilion Master muttered. "Do you know what you're doing means?"
If what Deacon Bai said was true, then this young man's background should be extraordinary. He was definitely qualified to occupy a VIP room.
However, if what he said was false, then not only would he embarrass the Profound Dragon Pavilion, but he would also offend many experts. The Profound Dragon Pavilion Master was also weighing the pros and cons.
The First Elder and the Third Elder did not say anything. They did not want to get involved in the fight between the Second Elder and Deacon Bai.
"Pavilion Master, I guarantee with my life that what I said before is true. Furthermore, I am willing to bear all the consequences of this matter," Deacon Bai said firmly.
The Profound Dragon Pavilion Master narrowed his eyes and stared at Deacon Bai.
Since he had already said so, there was no point in continuing to argue.
"Alright. I hope you remember what you said. I don't want any mistakes to happen in this auction," the Profound Dragon Pavilion Master said sternly. "Otherwise, you can bring your head to me."
"Many thanks, Pavilion Master." Deacon Bai was overjoyed. He cupped his fists and thanked the Pavilion Master.
"Pavilion Master …"
The Second Elder still wanted to argue, but the Profound Dragon Pavilion Master waved his hand. He opened his mouth, then flung his sleeve and left the top floor of the pavilion.
Deacon Bai, who had obtained the last VIP room, immediately told Fang Chen the news. The latter was temporarily staying in a restaurant, waiting for the auction three days later.
"I hope that there will be something I want in the auction," Fang Chen said softly.
After attending the auction, he would continue his journey to the Taixuan Sect to find the scholar and find out the mystery of the kill order.
However.
What he did not know was that the scholar had already obtained his approximate location from various sources in the Taixuan Sect.
"Big Brother, I have already contacted the helpers. How are things on your side?" Gui Hou asked.
"According to the information," Gui Hou said.
"According to the information, that person seems to be heading north, towards our Taixuan Sect."
"The closest place to the border is Profound Dragon City. Recently, there seems to be a super auction in Profound Dragon City. He might be participating."
While guessing, the scholar also sent out many spies to search for Fang Chen in Profound Dragon City.
"Humph. No matter where you hide, I will kill you."
"Alright. I will ask my brothers to wait in Profound Dragon City. As soon as he appears, we will suppress him," Gui Hou said. His hatred for Fang Chen had reached an unprecedented level.
If possible, he wanted to end the life of the person who had humiliated him with his own hands.
Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner. Profound Dragon City became more and more lively. Many foreign experts came to attend the Profound Dragon Auction.
Every time the Mystery Dragon Auction was held, it would attract countless experts and cause a huge commotion.
However, they did not know that a storm was sweeping through Profound Dragon City.
