The sky over Yancheng was dyed an orange-red by the brilliant glow of sunset, as if laying down a magnificent piece of brocade for the upcoming auction. The streets of the city were woven with a dense stream of people. These were cultivators from all directions, some traveling in groups, others walking alone, but without exception, they were all heading in the same direction: the auction venue.
Lin Chen and Su Yao, dressed in simple yet dignified attire, blended into the crowd and walked toward the venue. Su Yao frowned slightly and said in a soft voice, "Lin Chen, look at the people all around us. Every single one of them has an extraordinary aura. They must have all come for the different fires up for auction today. This bidding war is likely going to be even tougher than we imagined."
With a steadfast gaze, Lin Chen nodded slightly. "No matter how difficult it is, we will give it our all. We have prepared for so long; we must not return empty-handed."
