In just two days, the news of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association's auction of a Third Rank Weapon has spread throughout the north and south. Cities such as Peng City, Shangqiu, Linzi, Puyang, and Shouchun have all received word. The rumors of the Divine Weapon have circulated widely, with swift riders delivering messages to various cities. In order to compete for this Divine Weapon, nobles from all over have dispatched their representatives to Liang City.
As a result, within two days, the inns and guesthouses in Liang City have become fully booked. Carriages and horses fill the streets, and nobles and distinguished individuals from across the empire have gathered!
This situation has left the city lord Pang Jing overwhelmed with worry. Nobles such as the Lu Guo Young Master, the Grand Tutor of Qi, and the nephew of Zhao Guo Zhen Nan General have all converged on Liang City. After the inns reached capacity, two young gentlemen from Wei Kingdom found themselves sleeping on the streets. These two youths, both under twenty, were seen cursing loudly outside an inn while holding their treasured swords. Ultimately, Pang Jing had to free up accommodations from two of his concubines to take them in.
As for Ye Yang, Pang Jing has already guessed much about him. That Third Rank Weapon must have come from this mysterious young man. Pang Jing holds a certain fear towards Ye Yang and is currently hesitant to act against him. Moreover, given Pang Jing's military strength, he is simply unable to confront Ye Yang; this is an unchangeable reality.
...
That night, the following day marks the auction of the True Fire Blade.
Ye Yang stands proudly in the courtyard, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky with a sense of endless melancholy as he reminisces about past events. He murmurs softly, "Heaven endures through eternity; how many rise and fall..."
At that moment, a servant approaches with news: "Young Master, there are several people outside requesting an audience. They appear to be from the north, dressed in Liaodong attire. They claim to be old acquaintances of yours from Yan Kingdom. Would you like to meet them?"
"Oh?"
Ye Yang is slightly taken aback: "How many are there? What do they look like?"
The servant replies: "Three strong men dressed in Armor, and one person in a black robe who seems somewhat frail. Their face is obscured; they appear to be a woman..."
"I understand!"
Ye Yang's heart stirs as he smiles: "Immediately show them into the reception hall for tea!"
"Yes!"
...
With a certain impression already in mind, it was still not confirmed.
When Ye Yang quickly arrived at the reception room, he saw a group of people entering under the guidance of the butler. The leading figure was a strong man holding a long spear, very familiar; it was none other than General Yuwen Shang from the Yan Kingdom, whom he had encountered in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range!
"Brother Ye Yang, you are indeed here!"
Yuwen Shang stepped forward with cupped fists and laughed heartily, "It has been a while since we parted ways in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range."
As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Tsk tsk, it has only been half a month since we last met, and your cultivation has advanced to such a level. I am truly impressed!"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "Brother Yuwen is being too polite. By the way, didn't you return to the Yan Kingdom? Why have you come to Liang City? It is quite close to the Wei Kingdom's border!"
Yuwen Shang smiled mysteriously, "It’s not that I wanted to come; rather, someone insisted on coming to Liang City in person."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Yuwen Shang immediately stepped aside, revealing a petite figure cloaked in a Cloak. She lifted the Cloak, and a delicate face appeared before Ye Yang. Her starry eyes sparkled with joy as she called out softly to him, "After so many days apart, do you still remember me, Zi Yu?"
Ye Yang was taken aback. "Princess Yan Yao... how did you come here?"
Yan Yao smiled shyly, "It's quite strange. We received news that the Azure Thunder Merchant Association in Liang City will auction a Third Rank Weapon tomorrow. So, I begged my father to let me accompany General Yuwen to witness this extraordinary Divine Weapon in person and... well, also to see you..."
As she spoke, the girl's face flushed red, her shy demeanor utterly charming.
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile. "Yan Yao, to be honest, is the Yan Kingdom also planning to bid for the True Fire Blade?"
"Yes!" Yan Yao nodded and said, "However, the Yan Kingdom is located in the barren and frigid northern lands, so we can't offer much silver. Therefore, I don't have high hopes."
Ye Yang chuckled lightly. "Well... there's no rush; it's all about participation."
Yan Yao looked a bit confused but smiled gently.
It was late at night. Yan Yao, Yuwen Shang, and others rode their fierce war steeds tirelessly through day and night and were already exhausted. Thus, Ye Yang arranged rooms for them. The Ye Family Mansion was considered a mansion in Liang City, with countless vacant rooms, so accommodating dozens of people was not a problem at all.
When Ye Beichi inquired, Ye Yang simply mentioned that they were friends from afar. Ye Beichi did not ask further since Ye Yang was the head of the family, and he also knew that although this child had considerable strength, he had a kind nature. This was one of the reasons why Ye Beichi was confident about the future of the Ye Family.
The next morning, dew dampened the green leaves, and droplets splashed in the courtyard.
Ye Yang leaned against the headboard and slowly woke from his dreams. Looking at the swaying leaves outside the window, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Qin..."
"What is it, Zi Yu?" Qin Fang's voice came through.
Ye Yang replied, "I... um, where has Sister Zeng Xuan gone? Why haven't I heard anything from her?"
Qin Fang coughed lightly. "It's nothing; you don't need to worry about her. You know Zeng Xuan's strength; how many people in this world can deal with her? Zi Yu, you should be more concerned about your own situation. It's been almost ten days now, and there hasn't been any news from the Redstone Alliance. We don't know what's going on."
Ye Yang furrowed his brows, hesitating to speak, feeling a vague unease, perhaps still concerned about Zeng Xuan?
After getting up, Yan Yao, Yuwen Shang, and others also prepared to set off. Ye Yang received three consecutive invitations from the Azure Thunder Merchant Association; Lei Xiaodie was indeed very cautious, fearing that this era's Divine Craftsman would miss this Divine Weapon feast!
Yan Yao and Yuwen Shang went ahead first, and Ye Yang set out only after finishing his morning tea.
Upon arriving at the Azure Thunder Merchant Association, he entered the VIP room through a side entrance, looking down from above at the bustling auction scene below, which was quite spectacular!
Young masters and nobles from various feudal states arrived in droves, and even many armed generals appeared in the auction house. This time, Liang City attracted countless strong individuals!
Ye Yang calmly scanned each person; from their auras, he could tell that several battle-hardened Generals had already reached Earth Level Nine, and among them was one who had reached the peak of Earth Level Nine, just a step away from glimpsing the mysteries of the Stellar Realm!
At midday, a beautiful figure appeared on the high platform; it was none other than the owner of this Guild, Lei Xiaodie!
Dressed in a light robe, Lei Xiaodie looked charming and graceful. After lightly stepping onto the stage, she smiled like a flower and said in a sweet and enchanting voice, "First of all, thank you to all the distinguished guests from various places for your support. The Azure Thunder Merchant Association sincerely appreciates everyone!"
