Although he did not know who Fang Chen's mysterious master was, at least he had a preliminary understanding of Fang Chen's situation.

In Kaiyang City, Fang Chen only relied on the Li Family. In the eyes of the Ancient Soul Sect, the Li Family was not worth mentioning.
"Kid, even if I kill you here, your master won't find out." Hun Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
At that moment, the price of the mid-grade puppet had reached 100,000 supreme-grade Spirit Stones. Many martialists had withdrawn.
Even some reclusive experts had thoughts of retreating.
On the other hand, some people felt that it was not worth it to spend 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to buy such a mid-grade puppet.
In short, when the price rose to a certain level, most martialists withdrew.
This was a normal phenomenon. The wealth of many martialists could not be compared to Fang Chen and the others. Furthermore, Hun Yu of the Ancient Soul Sect was eyeing them covetously.
"110,000 supreme-grade Spirit Stones."
This was the first time Hun Yu had called out a price of 110,000 supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
After Hun Yu called out the price, many martialists looked at Fang Chen, waiting for Fang Chen to call out the price.
However, before Fang Chen could call out the price, a man wearing a straw hat hidden in the corner called out the price.
The man in the straw hat was shrouded in a pitch-black aura. No one could see his face clearly.
"120,000 supreme-grade Spirit Stones." The man in the straw hat called out the price.
The man in the straw hat's bid immediately attracted the attention of many martialists. Even Hun Yu turned his head to look at the man in the straw hat.
"Mm."
When Hun Yu looked at the man in the straw hat, he instantly sensed a familiar aura. A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then, he cried out involuntarily, "The Western Region Pirate Sage."
"What Western Region Pirate Sage? Even he has come to Kaiyang City?"
"The Western Region Pirate Sage. Heavens, it's actually the Western Region Pirate Sage."
When many martialists heard Hun Yu's words, they were all shocked. They looked at the man in the straw hat in the corner in shock.
Even Fang Chen looked at him in surprise.
"Who is the Western Region Pirate Sage?" Fang Chen asked.
Beside him, Lu Lianxue wore a complicated expression on her face without saying anything.
Li Xiaoke introduced, "The West Region Pirate Sage is a Spirit Whirlpool Realm bandit. As for what realm he has reached, no one knows. All these years, the West Region Pirate Sage has been stealing the wealth of experts in the west of the Five Elements State."
"As long as the Western Region Pirate Sage makes a move, he will definitely not fail."
Li Mingzhu added, "Until now, the Western Region Thief Saint has never failed. After the accumulation of time, the Western Region Thief Saint has become an extremely famous bandit in the west of the Five Elements Province. No one knows how much wealth he has accumulated over the years."
The Thief Sage of the Western Regions. Fang Chen carefully muttered this name.
The Western Region God Thief spoke up as though he was expressing his attitude. He wanted to obtain the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet as well.
The Western Region Pirate Sage's words threw the entire auction hall into chaos.
Countless martialists looked closely at their supreme treasures, afraid that the Western Region Pirate Sage would steal them.
The Ancient Soul Sect elders in the first row also had grave expressions on their faces when they saw the Western Region Pirate Sage.
If it had been any other expert, they could have used the Ancient Soul Sect's power to threaten them. However, this person was the Western Region Pirate Sage. He feared nothing, not even the Ancient Soul Sect.
This was because no one had ever seen the true face of the Thief Saint from the Western Region. He was truly a mysterious dragon that showed his face but not his tail.
"Western Region Pirate Sage, a mere Middle Rank Wooden Puppet doesn't seem to catch your eye." Hun Yu stood up and looked at the Western Region Pirate Sage behind him.
"Humph! How dare a little child speak to me like that?
I must obtain whatever I want. "The Western Region Pirate Sage sneered. Clearly, he did not give Hun Yu any face.
Hun Yu's expression changed constantly when he heard that. He then said, "If the Ancient Soul Sect Master knew that the Western Region Pirate Sage was here, he would definitely be very interested."
As soon as Hun Yu said that, a powerful spiritual fluctuation emanated from the Western Region Pirate Sage and headed straight for Hun Yu.
When the elders behind him saw this, their figures flashed and they blocked in front of Hun Yu. With a flick of their wrists, they neutralized the Western Region Pirate Sage's spiritual attack.
"The great Western Region Pirate Sage actually launched a sneak attack on a junior. How shameful," the elder of the Ancient Soul Sect said coldly.
"If there is a next time, I will definitely kill you," the Western Region Pirate Sage said firmly.
When the elder of the Ancient Soul Sect saw this, he wanted to fly into a rage. However, when he thought about it, this was Kaiyang City, so he restrained himself in the end.
"Elder, what should we do? With the Western Region Pirate Sage attacking, there is no way we can obtain the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet," Hun Yu said softly.
They had not brought many spiritual stones with them to Kaiyang City this time. The Western Region Pirate Sage was known to be as rich as a nation. They simply could not compare to him in terms of wealth.
"Why don't we give up?" an elder said softly.
"Oh." Another elder glanced at this elder. Then, his eyes flickered before he finally nodded his head.
The elders of the Ancient Soul Sect immediately reached a unanimous decision to give up on the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet. They could not compete with the Western Region Pirate Sage.
After the Ancient Soul Sect gave up, no one else competed with the Western Region Pirate Sage.
The beautiful auctioneer's eyes flickered as she stared at Fang Chen in the first row, waiting for Fang Chen to bid.
Fang Chen had yet to speak. The moment he did, the price of the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet would definitely rise again.
At that moment, Fang Chen in the first row pondered for a moment before saying, "130,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones."
In the end, Fang Chen still called out a price.
When she heard Fang Chen's bid, the beautiful auctioneer's eyes were filled with excitement.
In the auction house, many martialists looked at the Western Region Pirate Sage. They did not know what method the Western Region Pirate Sage would use to obtain the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet.
"Little guy, are you sure you want to compete with me for the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet?" the Western Region Pirate Sage suddenly asked.
"Senior, this puppet is also very important to me." Fang Chen nodded his head and said.
Suddenly, the Western Region Pirate Sage laughed and said, "Do you believe that even if you obtain the Middle Rank Wooden Puppet, I can still take it from you quietly?"
Many martialists exclaimed when they heard this. The Western Region Pirate Sage had never failed.
Did this mean that he was going to make a move on Fang Chen?
Fang Chen's eyes flickered as he stared at the Western Region Pirate Sage.
Although he did not know what methods the Western Region Pirate Sage had, his intuition told him that the Western Region Pirate Sage might really be able to do it.
However, it was not easy to come across a Middle Rank Wooden Puppet. Fang Chen really wanted it.
"Kid, go ahead and bid. An ant dares to boast shamelessly here." Within the python sword, Ancestor Bronze said unhappily.
Obviously, Ancestor Bronze had also heard the Western Region Pirate Sage's words and immediately reminded Fang Chen.
With Ancestor Bronze's words, Fang Chen was full of confidence. A smile suddenly bloomed on his face and he said, "Senior, if you don't increase the price, then this puppet will belong to me."
The auction house was in an uproar. It seemed that Fang Chen would not give up so easily.
He was challenging the Western Region Pirate Sage. Was he courting death?
Although Fang Chen was the top powerhouse of the younger generation in Mizang City, in the eyes of everyone, the gap between him and the Western Region Pirate Sage was huge.
The Western Region Pirate Sage stared at Fang Chen for a long time before saying, "Good, very good. I haven't had the impulse to steal for a long time. Just because of this sentence of yours, I will definitely steal all your things and make you a destitute martialist."
The Western Region Pirate Sage's words proved that he would really make a move on Fang Chen.
Many martialists looked at Fang Chen with pity in their eyes. There were also some martialists who rejoiced in his misfortune.
Hun Yu of the Ancient Soul Sect, in particular, had a mocking smile on his face.
The name of the Western Region Pirate Sage shocked the entire western region of the Five-Element Prefecture. Even in the core region of the Five-Element Prefecture, the name of the Western Region Pirate Sage was very resounding.
There was no time when the Western Region Pirate Sage couldn't get what he wanted.
Fang Chen was courting death by openly going against the Western Region Pirate Sage.
"He really doesn't know the difference between life and death." Hun Yu sneered disdainfully.
Fang Chen ignored the shock of the crowd and the Western Region Pirate Sage's words. He turned his head to look at the beautiful auctioneer on the stage and asked softly, "Does this puppet belong to me?"
Fang Chen's words woke the beautiful auctioneer up from her shock. There was a hint of regret in her eyes as she said, "If no one raises the price, then the Mid-Grade Puppet will belong to this gentleman."
The beautiful auctioneer had thought that Fang Chen and the Western Region Pirate Sage would have an exciting bidding war. However, she was disappointed.
The Western Region Pirate Sage had taken the initiative to give up, as if he wanted to reap without sowing.
In the end, Fang Chen obtained the final item of the auction, the Mid-Grade Puppet, at a price of 130,000.
As a result, Fang Chen had obtained a total of three items at this auction. The first was the Thunderbolt Talisman, which cost 10,000 top-grade Spirit Stones. The second was the mysterious knife, which cost 100,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.
The last item was the Mid-Grade Puppet, which cost 130,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.
Fang Chen had spent a total of 240,000 top-grade Spirit Stones at this auction. However, he had also gained a lot.
After paying the Spirit Stones, Fang Chen obtained the Mid-Grade Puppet and put it into his interspatial ring without hesitation.
He had become the target of the Western Region Pirate Sage, so it was better to be careful.
Since Old Ancestor Bronze had said that there was no need to fear the Western Region Pirate Sage, then he should have a way to deal with the Western Region Pirate Sage.
Therefore, it was safest to put the item into his interspatial ring.
If he kept it on him, who knew when the Western Region Pirate Sage would get his hands on it? The gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
The auction ended just like that.
The people of the Ancient Soul Sect were furious. They had come for the mysterious knife, but Fang Chen had appeared midway and made them return empty-handed.
