Chapter 23: Ye Fan Forcibly Barges into the Auction House

As a dignified Son of Heaven's Mandate, when had he ever been treated like this?

"I said it already: either you can prove you have assets of over ten million Superior Spirit Stones, or you are a powerhouse at the Small Saint Realm or above to be allowed inside."

The guard kept a cold face, not relenting in the slightest because of Ye Fan's tough attitude.

"Ten million Superior Spirit Stones?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned slightly, "How come I've never heard of this? It's just an auction, how could there be such a rule?"

Even counting everything he had, he only possessed one million Superior Spirit Stones, a far cry from ten million Superior Spirit Stones.

"Hahaha, one look and I can tell you're a bumpkin who has never seen the world."

The guard sneered: "With your appearance, you want to attend our auction? You definitely couldn't afford to buy anything anyway. The President is wise to have specially established this rule."

"Otherwise, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter Tianqiong Auction House, wouldn't it be total chaos?"

The tone of his speech was full of disdain and contempt.

"Who are you calling a Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan's anger surged upward, his eyes appearing as if they could spew fire.

He had never felt that anyone would dare to insult him like this.

Especially not a few dogs guarding a door.

"I'm talking about you, obviously. Did we say something wrong? A poor brat like you is worthy of entering our Tianqiong Auction House?"

Seeing Ye Fan's angry expression, the guard became even more unscrupulous, "Get lost quickly, don't block the way for other guests."

Just as Ye Fan wanted to continue arguing, he was shoved from behind.

"Get out of the way, where did this little punk come from, blocking this young master's path."

A wave of alcohol fumes hit him; Ye Fan frowned and turned his head to look, only to see a youth standing beside him, face full of fat, looking arrogant and conceited.

"You—"

Ye Fan was just about to lose his temper, but seeing that youth swagger directly inside, he immediately said with dissatisfaction: "That fat man, why didn't he have to verify his assets? Why did you let him in?"

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, the guard immediately threw his head back and laughed, "Calling you a bumpkin isn't wrong at all."

"Young Master Liu is the eldest son of the Liu Family of Donghua Continent; the family has a Great Saint Realm powerhouse sitting in command, with deep foundations and wealth far exceeding hundreds of millions. How could a poor wretch like you compare?"

Liu Gongming, hearing Ye Fan call him a fat man, was immediately furious. He turned back, stared at Ye Fan, and snorted coldly: "Little punk, just because of you, you dare to curse me? Believe it or not, I'll have someone cripple you."

He looked arrogant, not taking Ye Fan into his eyes at all.

Although his Liu Family's foundation couldn't compare to those great clans of Donghua Continent, it could still rank in the upper-middle tier. When was it a bumpkin's turn to run wild in front of him?

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of many people nearby, each casting mocking gazes at Ye Fan.

"Just now, seeing this kid followed by two peerless beauties, I thought he was some peerless talent from a great family, or at worst a sect's chief disciple. I didn't expect him to be a bumpkin who hit the jackpot."

"These days, all the good cabbages are being arched by pigs."

"It's a pity for those two peerless beauties. Following this little punk, it would be better to follow an old man like me; at least I could give them a prosperous life."

"That's right, although this young master can't cultivate, my family has mines! As long as there's money, what kind of bodyguards can't I hire? Accompanying this young master in a life of luxury, isn't that sweet?"

"If you keep talking like that, I also feel like I can do it. Isn't it just money? I'll use one hundred million Spirit Stones to knock those two beauties down."

Hearing the surrounding people's discussion, a monstrous rage rose in Ye Fan's heart, and cold light flickered in his eyes.

He had promised to lead the way for Xiao Ruoyu.

Now, he was being blocked outside Tianqiong Auction House by the gate guards and not allowed in.

This was being thoroughly ridden and slapped in the face; it was as if someone had carefully set up this trap in advance, just waiting for him to drill into it.

All for the sake of making him make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Who exactly is it?

Don't let me find you, otherwise, I'll definitely kill you!

He thought to himself.

"If you don't want to die, all of you shut your mouths!"

Ye Fan shouted, and a heaven-shaking momentum erupted from his body.

The surrounding crowd immediately felt a tremendous pressure, their expressions changing drastically. Some ordinary people without cultivation had their ears ringing, and they covered their ears, looking at him in terror.

When the Double Pupil Eye on his forehead suddenly opened, this side of the world suddenly changed color, and the entire world seemed to turn into night.

And Ye Fan's aura was like a volcanic eruption, surging crazily, sweeping across the wilderness in waves.

Everyone felt as small as ants, only able to look up at a supreme existence.

This feeling was too intense, making everyone feel infinite despair.

Who exactly is this person?

Could he be one of those peerless talents from the legendary hidden sects?

This... how is this possible?

Who exactly is he?

Why would he possess the legendary Double Pupil Eye?

For a moment, countless people's minds went blank, staring at Ye Fan with extremely complex emotions, their hearts filled with doubt.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth lifted slightly, and the Double Pupil Eye on his forehead slowly closed.

The strange phenomenon in this world immediately vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, everyone let out a long breath.

That was truly too terrifying just now!

Even Xiao Ruoyu and Xia Qingxue, who had arrived upon hearing the news, had pale faces, their hearts pounding; they were clearly not lightly frightened.

Neither of them had expected Ye Fan to reveal such a formidable side.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Ye Fan strode up to the captain of the guards and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Can I go in now?"

Crack!

As his voice fell, Ye Fan took a step forward; the stone slab beneath his feet shattered into powder, and cracks spread out in all directions, forming thin fissures that eventually reached the feet of the captain of the guards.

A frigid baleful aura radiated from his body, causing everyone to shudder.

"Y-you, don't do anything rash."

The captain of the guards said with a trembling voice, "This is the Tianqiong Auction House, we are acting under orders..."

They were merely ordinary guards outside the door, with strength only at the late stage of the Other Shore Realm; they were no match for Ye Fan at all.

Although he feared the terrifying aura on Ye Fan, his duty remained, so he stood his ground without moving an inch, blocking Ye Fan's path.

Seeing that the other party still would not let him in, Ye Fan felt that he had lost face.

"Scram!"

He took another step forward and suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist; with a boom, he struck the captain of the guards, sending him flying dozens of meters away, where he collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

A trickle of blood seeped from his mouth, and his face was filled with a hideous expression of pain; clearly, he was severely injured.

The surrounding people were all stunned; where did this madman come from, daring to injure someone from the Heavenly Dome Auction? Was he not courting death?

They looked at Ye Fan as if they were looking at a dead man.

To run wild in front of the Tianqiong Auction House—no matter if you are a prodigy from some hermit sect, the outcome is only one word: death!

At this moment, a majestic voice resounded over the auction house.

"Audacious madman, how dare you come to my Tianqiong Auction House to cause trouble!"
