Chapter 72

Various families and factions all thought they had heard wrong.

Is this an insult?

Is it Shen Lang, the waste of the Shen family, cursing the people of the Xie Feng Valley, a Xuan Tie level force?

Madness, this must be madness!

Even the city lord Ye Xiao would have to show respect and not dare to breathe loudly in front of them, is this not courting death?

Could it be that he thinks with the protection of the Treasure Pavilion, he doesn't need to fear the Xie Feng Valley?

This is just making things even more chaotic...

"You... you dare to curse me! Do you think your life is too long? Do you know who I am? I am the 38th generation descendant of the founder of the Holy Light Sect..."

"Oh, hello descendant, I have long heard of your great name, it's like thunder in my ears." Shen Lang interrupted Yao Chengjie and said.

The entire auction hall was once again in a frenzy.

Competing with the young master of the Holy Light Sect for the howling moon wolf's eye was one thing, but this kid actually dared to curse him, and after cursing, he even took advantage...

This is simply a longevity-seeking immortal hanging himself!

The Holy Light Sect's private box was eerily quiet, it was unknown whether Yao Chengjie had been angered into a faint or had not fully reacted yet.

Shen Lang, with an unchanged expression, continued, "I do feel my life is a bit too long, I want to see who can take my life! Hmph, a thing that can't even speak clearly dares to challenge me, don't you even know to take a piss and look at yourself? What does my family's business have to do with you? Xuan Tie level forces are so great, I've seen people from the War God Hall! What are you, anyway? One moment you act all high and mighty, the next you mock the poor and small Tianfeng City... If you're so great, why not just bid ten million gold coins and be done with it? Babbling on and on, if you don't want to bid, get out! Don't come here to act cheap!"

Shen Lang either doesn't speak, or when he does, it's earth-shattering, making the people of Tianfeng City want to cry.

Damn, you've had your fill of talking, but provoking these Xuan Tie level forces could crush Tianfeng City to dust in an instant!

For the people here, Xuan Tie level forces are like behemoths, something the people of Tianfeng City can't possibly resist...

Can't you just calm down for a moment...

Especially that one line, "I've seen people from the War God Hall!" It completely intimidated everyone present.

No one could tell if this was true or not, but for Xuan Tie level forces, what if this kid is telling the truth...

The second floor fell into a very oppressive silence, no one spoke, even the Holy Light Sect people fell silent.

However, Shen Lang clearly hadn't finished cursing, and he continued, "As for Shen Haoxuan and the 'kind and amiable' third elder, our business isn't over. I'll settle with you guys later, don't worry, your good days are still ahead."

Shen Haoxuan below felt a chill, his face turning green.

He didn't know if Shen Lang could survive against the experts of a Xuan Tie level force.

But as a Xuan Tie level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion, and apparently someone the Treasure Pavilion values greatly... if they really decided to deal with him, he would have no way to fight back.

Although he couldn't figure out how all this happened, Shen Lang had a Xuan Tie badge, that was a fact.

As long as he was willing, with the help of the Treasure Pavilion... or even by giving a few million gold coins to some mercenary groups or other forces, the Shen family would have no way to resist.

At this moment, Shen Haoxuan could only pray that the conflict between Shen Lang and the Holy Light Sect would get bigger, only if the Holy Light Sect people helped remove Shen Lang could they rest easy...

"Kid, are you tired of living? You dare to provoke a Xuan Tie level sect? Do you know how to write the word 'death'?" From the Xie Feng Valley's private box, another young voice sounded.

"Where did you come from, you brat without manners? When do adults need your input?" Shen Lang coldly shouted.

"You... you..." The people from the Xie Feng Valley were also quite angry.

These guys seemed to be elite disciples of the sect, used to being in high positions, and normally people from lower forces or other sect members would flatter them. Now, encountering Shen Lang's thug-like approach, they couldn't adapt.

Arguing with him, they lacked the verbal skills;

Cursing him, it would seem to lower their status, and if it got out, it would affect the sect's image.

And if this guy really had any connection to the War God Hall...

No one knew that Shen Lang was already being quite polite.

As the "War Emperor," it wasn't just about "seeing" people from the War God Hall.

People of the War God Hall followed his orders, who would dare to disobey?

...

The people from the Xie Feng Valley and the Holy Light Sect were uncomfortable, and the people from Tianfeng City in the auction hall were even more uncomfortable...

The scene was already extremely chaotic, many people started running out of the auction hall, and even the guards maintaining order for the Treasure Pavilion were almost ready to call Shen Lang "Grandpa."

"This world is too crazy, is this kid from the Shen family trying to challenge the Holy Light Sect alone?"

"This is just a small place, if the Holy Light Sect people get angry and act, we will all suffer..."

In the chaotic scene, Zui Qianbei from the Xie Feng Valley finally spoke again, "Hehe, I've been in the Zichu Kingdom for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant in front of me. Just for this, kid, I admire you!"

Shen Lang's eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly, "Too much praise, thank you."

His calm and composed words instantly choked Zui Qianbei, who couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, a voice full of killing intent came from the Holy Light Sect's private box, "Kid, are you aware of the consequences of being so arrogant?"

"For those who are arrogant, I will be even more arrogant, it's that simple," Shen Lang smiled.

The one who had been silent, Mo Liusheng, finally spoke, "I say, you are all Xuan Tie level forces with some standing, isn't it shameful to bully a young man in such a place? If you have the ability, just use money, why so much nonsense?"

"Old man, where did you come from? Do you have the right to speak to our young master? Get lost!" The Holy Light Sect people angrily shouted.

Shen Lang's eyes turned dark, and he coldly said, "What are you, a nobody, to speak to Senior Mo like that? Since you're a lackey, just be a good dog, don't try to act human!"

"You... you're asking for death!"

The atmosphere became even more tense, like a drawn bow.

The people from the Holy Light Sect were the type who would provoke others whether there was a reason or not.

But although Shen Lang could endure, he wasn't the type to take a loss easily, and if he did, he needed a reason.

"Alright, alright, everyone is here for the auction, why get hung up on such small matters? This is the Treasure Pavilion, can you give this old man some face?" Sima Qing, trembling, walked out and stood beside Lian Ruoshui on the stage.

The Treasure Pavilion, which had been silent, finally took a stance.

The situation finally stabilized, the people from the Holy Light Sect, though arrogant, knew the severity and didn't dare to be too reckless.

"Since Senior Sima has spoken, it would be unreasonable not to give face... Miss, since Shen Lang has won the item, the next should be other things, you can continue," the voice from the private box was cold and elegant, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

When the attendant brought the howling moon wolf's eye to Shen Lang, Xue Dang's gaze, full of coldness, swept over the private boxes of the Holy Light Sect and the Xie Feng Valley, a flash of lightning passing through her eyes...

Shui Qingwu, who had been silent, looked at Shen Lang with a somewhat complex expression, increasingly feeling that her judgment was correct.

This mysterious young man was likely the masked person who saved her that day.

It was just that she hadn't found concrete evidence yet.

The auction continued, and the Shen family people didn't dare to speak again.

Shen Lang, in the private box, began to ponder the howling moon wolf's eye.

"This thing, though rare, doesn't seem to be worth your high regard. What's the deal?" Xue Dang, seeing him repeatedly inspect the eye, couldn't help but ask.

Shui Qingwu and Lan Luos also had questions in their eyes.

"Guess..." Shen Lang held the jade box in his hand.

Xue Dang, puffed up with anger, said, "I won't guess! You're being mysterious, I don't know what you're up to..."

"A howling moon wolf's eye, how could it be worth so much? You must be wondering if I'm either a fool or too impulsive, bidding so much just to get back at the Holy Light Sect..."

"Isn't that the case?" Shui Qingwu lightly laughed.

"Of course not, because in fact, this is not a howling moon wolf's eye at all..." Shen Lang, after thoroughly confirming, felt greatly relieved.

"What? Young Master Lang says this isn't a howling moon wolf's eye?" Lan Luos finally couldn't help but speak.

He had to speak, because he was from the Treasure Pavilion, and this was identified by the chief appraiser Sima Qing. If it was wrong, it would damage the Treasure Pavilion's reputation.

Shen Lang smiled and shook his head, "Don't be surprised, I don't mean to belittle Senior Sima. Just know this, don't spread it."

He placed the jade box on the table and gestured, "Look closely, what's different about this eye compared to what you know about the howling moon wolf's eye?"

The three immediately leaned in, examining it from all angles.

After a while, Shui Qingwu said, "There doesn't seem to be much difference. If I have to point out something, there's a faint blood line in the center of the eye, and the surrounding area is light green, while theoretically, the surrounding area of a howling moon wolf's eye should be black. However, this small detail can't prove it's not a howling moon wolf's eye, because other features, including the faint blood moon in the pupil, match the howling moon wolf completely."

"These are just common knowledge, don't act so serious... as if only you know," Xue Dang, having been preempted, couldn't help but mock.

Lan Luos, after a moment of silence, cautiously asked, "Then... what kind of demon beast's eye does Young Master Lang think this is?"

He had learned to be more careful, even if he had many questions, he wouldn't act rashly like before.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "In legend, there is a type of wolf called the 'Hidden Moon Wolf.' This Hidden Moon Wolf is not a native of this world but a descendant of the Heavenly Wolves from the Heavenly Realm. The Hidden Moon Wolf is extremely rare, capable of hiding in the void, and likes to mix with howling moon wolf packs. Because of its skin color and appearance, which are very similar to the howling moon wolf, ordinary people can hardly distinguish them."

"Never heard of such a demon beast... how did you distinguish it? Just by the blood line in the eye and the blood moon in the pupil?" Shui Qingwu asked in surprise.

Shen Lang fell silent, not knowing how to explain.

Because in his fragmented memories, there was a part where he had traveled through mountains and rivers, even delved into spatial rifts, to study the Hidden Moon Wolf.

All for the sake of obtaining the third eye on the forehead of the Hidden Moon Wolf, to cultivate a certain technique.

Where this technique came from, Shen Lang didn't know, but he could confirm that it was extremely powerful. Combined with the thread of space-time law contained in the third eye of the Hidden Moon Wolf, it was said to cultivate the "Illusion-Breaking Silver Eye."

This "Illusion-Breaking Silver Eye" had the ability to dispel all illusions and directly point to the fundamental rules of things.

If cultivated to the extreme, it could not only see through all illusions and various invisibility spells but also glimpse the laws of the universe that only supreme beings could touch!

Now, the technique was completely in Shen Lang's mind, and the third eye of the Hidden Moon Wolf was right in front of him, how could he not be overjoyed!

However, these secrets were too astonishing, even if Shen Lang trusted these few people, he couldn't reveal them in such a place.

"You're right, I mainly relied on the two things you mentioned to determine that this is the eye of the Hidden Moon Wolf. Of course, besides these two, the most important is the feeling this eye gives. Didn't you notice that when you look at this eye for a while, it seems to come alive, making you want to keep looking?"
