This scene...
Undoubtedly stunned everyone.
They had never expected Bai Zihe, a person of no repute, to dare to cripple Tang Fengyu's men so cleanly and decisively.
And...
Right in the auction house.
After all, the owner of this auction house was also a magnate in the capital.
Once, someone had caused trouble in his auction house, had all four limbs broken on the spot, and then their head was cut off and hung on the crossbeam for seven days and seven nights, as a warning to others.
The photos of the hanging head could still be found online!
It was from that incident onwards.
The boss declared that the hundred-meter radius around the auction house was a no-weapon zone.
Anyone who took action here would pay a heavy price.
At this moment,
Everyone looked at Bai Zihe as if he were a corpse.
His actions had directly offended both the Tang family and the auction house, two major forces. His life was already on a countdown; what else could he be but a corpse?
Even Yao Ke'er was momentarily taken aback.
Her junior brother...
Was truly decisive.
However,
Since he was her junior brother, she had to dote on him.
Whatever happened, she would bear it.
Yao Ke'er quickly followed.
After only a few steps,
A middle-aged man, leading a group of imposing strong men, approached and blocked the path of Bai Zihe and Yao Ke'er.
They had been attracted by Tang Liu's screams.
And that middle-aged man...
Had a square face, exuding authority even without anger. He had clearly held a high position for a long time. He was none other than the owner of this "Dragon Constellation Auction House," Cui Zhenglong!
The strong men behind him...
Each had bulging temples and walked with a powerful, yet light, gait, clearly indicating they were masters.
Seeing this, everyone was certain.
Bai Zihe was about to face retribution!
Death was already on its way.
"Boy!"
Cui Zhenglong blocked Bai Zihe, his face as dark as can be. "You assaulted someone in our Dragon Constellation Auction House, and you still intend to leave..."
"Isn't that too arrogant?"
As his words fell,
The masters behind him stepped forward in unison.
"Boom!"
Powerful, unparalleled auras shot towards the heavens, sweeping away everything nearby. The monstrous waves of energy...
Were terrifying.
These dozen or so masters were all half-step Grandmasters.
"Hiss—"
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
Too terrifying.
No wonder the Dragon Constellation Auction House had the audacity to declare a hundred-meter radius around their entrance a no-weapon zone!
A half-step Grandmaster was enough to be a regional lord in the outside world.
Yet, at the Dragon Constellation Auction House...
They were as numerous as goose feathers.
Such martial prowess was indeed enough to look down upon all.
Even Bai Zihe showed a slight surprise. The capital was different.
They even used half-step Grandmasters as bodyguards.
However, it was only a slight surprise. Let alone half-step Grandmasters, even a dozen high-level Grandmasters would not faze him!
"He deserved it."
Bai Zihe said calmly, his words creating another Category 12 typhoon in everyone's ears.
This young man...
Was arrogant.
Too arrogant!
Boundlessly arrogant!
To speak like that in front of Cui Zhenglong was simply courting death.
As expected,
Before Bai Zihe's words even finished, Cui Zhenglong narrowed his eyes.
Icy whirlwinds erupted around him, causing everyone caught in their path to involuntarily shiver.
"Young man..."
Cui Zhenglong said expressionlessly, his voice chilling to the bone. "Arrogance comes with a price!"
Then,
He waved his hand.
The numerous half-step Grandmasters behind him understood immediately and prepared to apprehend Bai Zihe.
"Wait!"
Yao Ke'er, who had been silent until now, spoke.
She took out a token and tossed it to Cui Zhenglong. "Boss Cui, please give me some face."
"This matter..."
"Can we let it go at this, how about it?"
Cui Zhenglong took the token and played with it for a moment, his eyes flashing. He then nodded and said, "Alright!"
"For the sake of this..."
He said, then turned to Bai Zihe. "Boy, you can leave. But remember... this is a one-time exception!"
With that,
Cui Zhenglong turned around and walked back with the dozen or so half-step Grandmasters.
The crowd of onlookers also sighed.
With the Divine Physician intervening, Bai Zihe was naturally unharmed.
However, their curiosity, envy, and jealousy towards Bai Zihe only grew, wishing they could step forward to investigate.
Who exactly was this pretty boy, to have the Divine Physician protect him so fiercely?
Bai Zihe was somewhat surprised.
This follower assigned to him by his fifth senior sister seemed to have quite a background.
The boss who could bring so many half-step Grandmasters clearly had some influence, yet he was persuaded to back down with a single token.
Bai Zihe had taken a deliberate glance just now. That was not a token from the Xuan Tian Pavilion.
So her identity was...
But Bai Zihe did not dwell on it.
Since it was arranged by his fifth senior sister, it naturally had her reasons.
However...
This matter was not over yet.
Bai Zihe glanced at a private room on the second floor, and to everyone's astonishment, he lifted a nearby table and hurled it.
