"Damn it!" Zheng Yiqi gritted his teeth.

Why is Chen Xiao so hateful?

Why does he always have to jump in and ruin his plans?

Even worse, Chen Xiao, in his eyes, is just a lowly person from the Mortal World, someone who can’t be seen in public. Losing ground in a spat with such trash makes him feel deeply humiliated!

Beside him, a disciple from the Dao Qi Sect said, "Brother Zheng, this Heavenly Dragon Auction House is a foothold for the Xuantian Sect in the Mortal World. Their managers are all people from the Xuantian Sect. I dealt with one of the managers before attending the auction..."

"Maybe we can get some information about Chen Xiao from him."

Zheng Yiqi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?!"

"Heavenly Dragon Auction has always valued privacy and customer safety, so after customers auction off the items, they can secretly leave through a special passage of Heavenly Dragon Auction House."

"This guarantees the customer’s safety."

"But... what if the opponent’s whereabouts are exposed?"

The disciple’s words made Zheng Yiqi’s heart give a little jolt and suddenly clear up.

"You’re right! Since I didn’t win the bid for this Alchemy Furnace, I can still snatch it!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Whosoever’s fist is the biggest, holds the reason!"

Zheng Yiqi sneered, "That guy spent money to buy the Alchemy Furnace, which ends up benefiting me. But being able to present me with such a good gift, counts as his honor. Others, I can’t be bothered to snatch from!"

The others quickly echoed along.

Zhao Xingyu heard this and hurriedly said, "Young Zheng, it’s not good for you to snatch outright like this, is it?!"

Zheng Yiqi frowned, unhappily said, "Junior Sister Zhao, you are in the same camp as us, and now you are actually speaking for that guy?!"

Zhao Xingyu angrily said, "How are we any different from those people in the Chaotic Demon Sect if we do this?!"

"Our Dao Qi Sect and Qinglan Sect are considered reputable orthodox sects in the Kunlun Realm!"

Zheng Yiqi was even more displeased; were it not for Zhao Xingyu being the most favored disciple of the Qinglan Sect Master, he would have slapped her long ago. Ignorant woman!

He coldly said, "Junior Sister Zhao, don’t be naive. Treasures in this world are meant for those competent to take them. If Chen Xiao doesn’t have the ability to keep it, that’s his problem!"

"Alright, don’t say any more!"

"Lan Zijian, control your junior sister!"

"You—" Zhao Xingyu looked at Lan Zijian and the others in disappointment, "Third Senior Brother, Senior Brother Chen, do you think the same?!"

Lan Zijian said, "Junior Sister, don’t be naive! The Martial Arts World is inherently cruel! Besides, we’ve suffered so many losses at that kid’s hands, and instead of feeling sorry for us, you stand on his side to criticize us?"

"You’re really leaning out too much!"

"Fine! If our paths differ, then we shouldn’t work together; let’s part ways!" Zhao Xingyu angrily stood up.

"Where are you going?!" Lan Zijian blocked her.

"I’m going to tell Chen Xiao about this." Zhao Xingyu coldly said.

"What a fool!" Zheng Yiqi coldly said, "Subdue her, don’t let her leak the information!"

If Zhao Xingyu ruined their plan, it would be immeasurable loss.

Meanwhile.

After auctioning the Alchemy Furnace, Chen Xiao followed the designated path to the auction house’s backstage VIP room.

"Please have a seat, honored guest," a beautiful maid invited him to sit.

Then, she brought the Alchemy Furnace up.
