Chapter Eighty-two: The Mysterious Iron Plaque Reappears

  The next day, Mufeng was so engrossed in his practice that he almost forgot about the auction. When he came to his senses, time was already a bit late, and after hastily washing up, he left the courtyard to meet with Muhan Qing.

  When he arrived at the agreed location, however, he saw Mu Hanqing alone there.

  "Is it just the two of us?" Mu Feng found this somewhat strange.

  "How is this possible?" Mu Han gave Mu Feng a clear and cold glance. This guy, every time he asked questions, they were so stupid.

  "De Shu and the others left first, how come you're so late? Let's hurry up and go, or we won't make it." The "De Shu" that Mu Han Qing mentioned was referring to Mu Cheng De, a capable assistant under the elder Mu Huai Zhi.

  Two people rushed all the way and finally caught up with Mu Chengde and others at the auction house door.

  "Uncle De." Murong Feng and Murong Cheng greeted him.

  Mocheng De was around forty years old, slightly younger than Mocheng Zhi, but already a powerful being at the peak of his physical form, sent by Mocheng Hui to participate in this auction.

  "You've finally arrived, let's go in." Mu Chengde nodded at Mu Feng and said with a smile.

  Mufeng raised his head and looked at the auction scene, exclaiming in surprise. In order to help Master Xie hold this auction, the Mufeng clan also spent a lot of effort to rebuild a huge auction hall.

  The majestic atmosphere is extremely fitting to describe the auction scene. This huge auction house can accommodate up to 100,000 people, and such a large-scale auction house is rare in the entire Tianfeng County.

  At the entrance of the auction hall, a dense crowd surged in like a tide, with an atmosphere that was astonishingly hot.

  Mufeng, Muhanching and others followed Mu Chengde into the VIP passage, avoiding a squeeze.

  After entering the auction house, Mu Feng only discovered that the hall was already packed with people. Although it cost a thousand yuan to enter the auction house, this seemed to have little effect on the influx of people.

  However, the auction hall had specially set aside VIP seats for those with great influence, and the best seats in the VIP section were also reserved for the Mu family, so Mu Feng and his entourage didn't need to fight for seats with the crowd in the main hall.

  Having money and power is good. Murong sat in a comfortable chair, leisurely drinking tea and looking at the chaotic crowd in the hall, feeling sentimental.

  In the VIP seat, Mu Feng also saw some familiar figures, including Zheng Jian and Song Ping, who he had met yesterday. The two of them also discovered Mu Feng, and a hint of malice flashed in their eyes. However, Mu Feng didn't mind; as long as they didn't come to provoke him, it was fine. If they did, he would definitely not let them off easy either.

  This auction is hosted by Master Xie Shi, so its fairness is beyond doubt.

  As everyone knows, Xie Shi focuses on refining equipment and does not participate in any disputes, remaining impartial and maintaining good relations with the four major forces.

  Xie Shi actually had another identity, he was the leader of the Tianfeng County branch of the Soul Master Alliance!

  The Soul Masters of the Da Wu Dynasty formed a Soul Master Alliance, and Xie Shi was the deputy leader of this alliance, in charge of the affairs of Tian Feng County. Although this Soul Master Alliance is low-key at ordinary times, its strength is not to be underestimated. Even the imperial family of the Da Wu Dynasty's royal clan did not dare to offend them easily.

  Xie Shi's own strength was not weak, and with his reputation, the four major forces of Tianfeng County all showed him even more respect.

  Although the Mu family sponsored this auction, they did not receive any favoritism from Master Xie. The items in this auction, although the Mu family coveted several of them, were still not withheld by Master Xie for private transactions with the Mu family.

  It seems that the auction will not start for a while, and Mufeng is also carefully observing the guests on the VIP seat.

  To the right front of the VIP seat, a group of people wearing white robes sat, with "Clear Wind" and "White Clouds" embroidered on their white robes. This was the emblem of Fengyun Sect, the first sect of Tianfeng County. Mingyuetang sat together with the people from Fengyun Sect.

  To the left front, there was a group of people in black robes, with a golden tiger embroidered on their chest, looking up at the sky and shouting loudly, which is the symbol of the Lei family. Behind the left side of the VIP seat were the Liu family members wearing blue shirts.

  Behind them were some second-rate forces and factions from Tianfeng County, including the Qinglang Gang and the Qixing Martial Arts Hall. As one of the three major forces in Mocheng, they seemed rather inconspicuous.

  Mo Feng did not notice any powerful beings in the VIP seats. However, this was normal as the four major powers had sent people over, with some of them being led by powerful beings who were rarely seen.

  Before the auction, all the items to be auctioned off will have been leaked out, so these forces have already had a clear plan for the entire auction, and whether the strong players come or not has no impact on the auction.

  As the auction had yet to begin, the VIPs on stage also started chatting with each other.

  Not a few second-rate powers' leaders also came over to greet Mu Chengde, and Mu Chengde chatted with them. Seeing Mu Chengde's skilled appearance, it was probably not the first time he had encountered such a scene.

  However, the four major forces in Tianfeng County are clearly demarcated and do not interact or communicate with each other. This is also because any slight movement among the four major forces will cause a great stir in Tianfeng County. Therefore, in public places, the four major forces only have ceremonial exchanges.

  However, these second-rate forces have to rely on the four major forces for survival. Therefore, they also often take advantage of this opportunity to establish good relations with the four major forces separately. If not, at least establish a good relationship with one of them.

  In Tenpu County, if there is no major force as a support in the context of certain secondary forces, then the result must be extinction, which has been proven countless times.

  Everyone clearly remembers that in Tianfeng County, a sect once appeared. The founder was an extraordinary strong man. This strong man's goal for creating the sect was to become the fifth major power in Tianfeng County.

  As a result, this sect existed for only three months before being jointly annihilated by the four major forces. The strong man who came out of the divine realm also ended up in a miserable state.

  "Clang!"

  Almost half an hour later, with a crisp knock, a middle-aged man appeared on the auction stage, and the entire auction hall finally quieted down.

  Mo Feng recognized the middle-aged man as Yao Li, a manager of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.

  Yao Li smiled and said: "Today, the Hidden Treasure Pavilion is holding an auction, thank you all for your presence. Yao Li represents the Hidden Treasure Pavilion in thanking everyone..."

  It was just some necessary opening remarks, although everyone had heard similar words before, but no one showed a hint of impatience.

  "Now the auction is officially starting." After Yao Li finished his tedious opening speech, he clapped his hands and several beautiful maidens carrying silver trays walked onto the auction stage from backstage.

  Yao Li took over the silver plate from the hands of the first maid, lifted the brocade cloth on top of it and placed it on the auction table. A iron plaque suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first item up for auction today, an ancient iron plaque!"
