Three days later.
The atmosphere in Mystic Dragon City had reached its peak. Within the city, there was a sea of people. Everyone was here for the Mystic Dragon Auction.
However, there were very few people who were qualified to participate in the Mystic Dragon Auction.
In front of the Mystic Dragon Pavilion, one after another, martial artists walked in with invitations in their hands.
At noon, Fang Chen was invited to the Mystic Dragon Pavilion. Deacon Bai had told him that he could use the VIP passage directly. This would save him a lot of time.
In the normal passage, the queue was almost at the city gate. No one knew when it would end.
The VIP passage was sparsely populated. Occasionally, there would be people entering from there. Even so, many people's eyes were attracted to the VIP passage.
After all, those who were able to use the VIP passage were basically people from the top forces or experts who were extremely wealthy.
"I wonder if anyone from the Taixuan Sect and the Great Snow Mountain will come this time?" Discussions could be heard from the crowd.
"I don't think the Great Snow Mountain will come," another person said.
After all, the Great Snow Mountain was the absolute overlord of the Extreme North. They did not care about the Mystic Dragon Auction held by the Mystic Dragon Pavilion. However, it was very likely that the Taixuan Sect would send someone.
"Look, isn't that someone from the Taixuan Sect?"
Indeed, just as they finished, someone from the Taixuan Sect appeared.
The scholar did not hide his identity as he swaggered into the VIP passageway. He glanced at the crowd coldly before entering the passageway.
"It's the scholar, the number one genius of the Taixuan Sect."
"I didn't expect the Taixuan Sect to send him to participate in the Mystic Dragon Auction."
"It seems that there will be something attractive at the Mystic Dragon Auction."
Many people started to guess what kind of item would appear at the auction that would attract people from the Taixuan Sect.
"Master Shu."
The second elder of the Mystic Dragon Pavilion saw the scholar from afar and greeted him warmly. "I didn't expect you to come to our auction."
"Yes."
The scholar nodded. The Mystic Dragon Pavilion was only a force in the Mystic Dragon City. To a giant like the Taixuan Sect, it was nothing. The scholar did not give the second elder any face. He walked past the VIP passage and entered the normal hall. He found a corner and sat down.
The second elder was stunned.
He had thought that the scholar would ask for a VIP room for him. He had even thought about it. He was going to give the VIP room that Deacon Bai had been given to the scholar.
However, the scholar's actions left the second elder puzzled.
"Young Master Shu, with your status, how could you stay in an ordinary hall? Our Profound Dragon Pavilion has prepared a VIP room for you," Before the Second Elder could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"Don't disturb me," the scholar said impatiently.
Then, he ignored the Second Elder and closed his eyes to rest.
"With such a lively scene today, I don't believe that you won't come." The scholar thought to himself.
He wanted to find Fang Chen in this hall and capture him.
As for Gong Tianhou, he led his helpers and hid in every corner of Mystic Dragon City. As long as one side made a move, the other side would come to their aid immediately.
This was also the reason why he wasn't willing to enter the VIP room. The Second Elder naturally didn't know that the scholar had come with a mission.
Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
At this time, Fang Chen had also arrived. However, before he could enter the VIP passage, he was stopped by the guards.
"Brat, this is the VIP passage. Line up over there," one of the guards said coldly.
Without an invitation, no one was allowed to use the VIP passage. This was an iron rule.
"Do you have an invitation?" The other guard stared at Fang Chen and asked.
Fang Chen shook his head. "I don't. The invitation is in Deacon Bai's hands. He hasn't given it to me yet."
"Hmph."
When the two guards heard this, they thought that Fang Chen was a swindler. They immediately scolded, "We often meet swindlers like you. Hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
"How dare you cause trouble in the Profound Dragon Pavilion. Are you tired of living?"
Fang Chen frowned. He was about to send a message to Deacon Bai.
The latter had already seen Fang Chen. He hurriedly ran out of the VIP passage and stopped the two guards. "Nonsense."
Then, he smiled at Fang Chen and apologized profusely, "I'm sorry …"
As he spoke, he led Fang Chen into the VIP passage and entered the VIP room.
When the two guards saw this, their hearts were filled with fear. What kind of big shot could make Deacon Bai personally come to welcome him?
The two guards looked at each other. They were a little scared. Those who could enter the VIP room were either rich or noble. Small shots like them could not afford to offend them.
"It's over …" The two guards were trembling in fear.
On the other side, the people who were lining up at the ordinary passage were also very surprised.
"Who is that? He looks very unfamiliar."
"He actually made Deacon Bai personally come to welcome him. He must have a big background."
The sound of discussion was endless.
Fang Chen's VIP room was number nine, which was also the last one. This was deliberately done by the Second Elder. He was still holding a grudge against Deacon Bai for taking his place.
"Deacon Bai, is that the person you brought?"
The Second Elder had appeared out of nowhere and said coldly.
Deacon Bai nodded, "That's him."
"Hmph, look at his ordinary appearance. He doesn't look like someone like you who can take out several upgraded weapons at will." The Second Elder said.
Deacon Bai did not want to argue with the Second Elder. He shrugged and turned to leave.
"Hmph, I'd like to see what the person you brought is capable of." The Second Elder looked at the VIP room.
He glanced at VIP room 9 and snorted coldly.
When it was night time, all the people who participated in the auction had already entered.
The whole hall was dark. The VIPs in the nine VIP rooms had all taken their seats.
Everyone knew that the auction was about to begin. They held their breath, waiting for the most exciting moment.
"Not here?"
The scholar in the corner scanned the entire auction hall with his Spiritual Sense. He did not find Fang Chen. He frowned. It shouldn't be. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
He wanted to check the VIP rooms. Unfortunately, in order to protect the identity of the VIPs, the Mysterious Dragon Pavilion had personally invited a formation master to engrave a formation on the VIP rooms. It could block the detection of Spiritual Sense.
In the VIP room number nine.
Fang Chen looked out of the window and suddenly saw the scholar.
"Hmm?
He's here too? "
He originally planned to go to the Supreme Mystery Sect to find the scholar after the auction. He did not expect the scholar to come to him.
This was even better. He could save a lot of energy.
"Let's wait until the auction is over." Fang Chen said.
He did not want to attract the attention of the Mysterious Dragon Pavilion and the Supreme Mystery Sect. At the same time, he was curious about what rare items would appear in the auction.
For the time being, he did not plan to do anything to the scholar. He would wait until the auction was over.
