Old Heretic Huang cast his gaze downward, but beneath his mask, a curious expression surfaced. In the past, advancing to the Grandmaster realm had been an incredibly challenging feat. In fact, it was a rarity for even one in tens of thousands to successfully advance to the Grandmaster realm.

Every Grandmaster was a one-in-a-million talent.

“Father, could it be that you can’t defeat them?”

Huang Rong’s eyes lit up.

“Old Heretic Huang might not be able to do it, but I stand a chance. Little girl, do you have any tasty snacks? Hurry and get some for me.”

Before Huang Rong could speak, a figure jumped in from the window. He looked at the food on the table and seemed to be drooling.

“Hong Qigong?”

When Old Heretic Huang saw Hong Qigong, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“I didn’t anticipate finding you here. It appears that I’ll encounter many familiar faces this time.

Old Heretic Huang did not mind Hong Qigong’s friendly manner. Instead, he asked him.

“Since you are here, why can’t I come?”

“But do you truly believe that the white jade dragon statue is seeking an owner?

I believe it might just be bait employed by those three families.”

“Ouch, it’s so hot!”

Hong Qigong plucked off a drumstick and exclaimed. Then, he stuffed it into his mouth with a look of enjoyment.

“I know, but the three families have probably obtained a lot of treasures that fell from the sky. There might be something I need.”

Old Heretic Huang nodded, indicating that he was here for the treasures.

“No wonder you’ve brought your daughter along. But you must be cautious. I visited the Great Song royal family, and now, the grass there has grown as tall as half a person.”

“Is the Great Song royal family really gone?”

Huang Rong was curious when she heard Hong Qigong’s words.

That was the entire royal family. It was perplexing to hear they all died so suddenly.

“Nothing is certain. In any case, the Great Song is constantly recruiting soldiers everywhere. Even many of my Beggar’s Sect disciples have joined the army.” Hong Qigong said indifferently as he ate.

The Beggar’s Sect did not have any rules. It was their freedom to go wherever they wanted.

“But the three families have called off the auction. It seems they will have to confront the menace posed by certain martial artists! I wonder if they can withstand it?”

Old Heretic Huang looked at the man who had just appeared and said. At that moment, on the stage, the man observed the situation and eventually hushed the crowd. He continued, “Everyone, I understand why you have gathered here, but this time, our purpose is to locate the True Dragon. The initial auction items are still available. Once we locate the True Dragon, we will bring it out for auction.”

“My name is Wang Qing, and I serve as one of the Wang family’s administrators. Once we locate the True Dragon, our Wang family will wholeheartedly back the rightful heir to claim that supreme position!”

Wang Qing’s voice was calm, but his words implied that he had to find the “True Dragon” first.

“Are you suggesting that your Wang family aims to monopolize the items that have descended from the heavens? You’ve made the news public, so how can you not follow through with it?!”

“That’s right. Do you believe that I will eliminate your entire family?!” “I don’t believe your Wang family won’t flee from Lin’an City!”

As soon as Wang Qing finished speaking, threatening voices sounded.

Given that news of the auction had already spread, his sudden announcement of postponement naturally stirred the discontent of certain martial artists. Some even went as far as to threaten the annihilation of the entire Wang family.

“My lord, do you think the Wang family will mess this up?

On the third floor of a restaurant, Mei Changge, Xu Chu, and the others positioned themselves by the window, watching the Seaside Plaza below. They appeared to have no intention of getting involved. “No, those people won’t be so brainless. They just want to intimidate them.”

Mei Changge chuckled and continued to observe.

“How dare you threaten our Wang family!”

With a shout, three figures appeared in the air, and a powerful aura pressed down on the entire Seaside Plaza.

“Look, they’re here!”

Mei Changge looked at the three figures and smiled.

“Grandmasters again! Are they all from the Wang family?!”

All of a sudden, a trace of shock appeared on the faces of the martial artists gathered at Seaside Plaza. Beneath that shock, there also lurked a sense of avarice.

Although the Wang family used to be a famous family in the Great Song, how could they have so many Grandmasters?

Didn’t this imply that the items that descended from the sky were unquestionably in the possession of the Wang family?

“It’s time to go on stage!”

Mei Changge looked at the arena with interest.

When Wang Qing noticed the silence among the crowd, a look of satisfaction crossed his face. It appeared that the presence of Grandmasters had effectively deterred the martial artists.

“I welcome all the aristocratic families of the Great Song to come forward!”

After Wang Qing concluded his speech, he nodded in approval. Subsequently, a group of individuals brought forth a square table from the rear, adorned with a golden silk cloth.

Swoosh!

Wang Qing reached out and lifted the golden silk cloth.

A dragon-shaped white jade statue appeared on the square table.

The statue was crafted from white jade, resembling creamy suet jade. Each scale on it appeared incredibly lifelike, and the dragon’s claws seemed to be treading upon a cloud formed from white jade as if it were gracefully soaring in the heavens.

The dragon’s head exuded a subtle regal air, particularly in its eyes. They possessed a vivid quality, with a shimmering white light flickering within them.

“This… is simply a priceless treasure!”

Upon seeing the dragon-shaped white jade statue, everyone was shocked..
