Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Three Sword Techniques Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Three Sword Techniques “What are you saying? Do you dare to threaten me?” The brocade-robed youth, upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s harsh words, was immediately filled with rage. An oppressive force, invisible yet palpable, brutally crushed down on Huang Xiaolong!

However, the brocade-robed youth could hardly believe that Huang Xiaolong would dare to spit such rebellious and outrageous words. He, a disciple of the towering Kunlun Sect, when had he ever been publicly humiliated by someone who most likely was a loose cultivator?

Standing behind the brocade-robed youth, two elderly servants also flashed a fierce murderous intent in their eyes, but they promptly intervened. “Young Master, this is not the place for violence. If we are to kill, we should do so after they leave Guan Shan Island. Let’s not break the rules, or it won’t be easy to deal with the aftermath,” they persuaded.

These people, speaking right in front of Huang Xiaolong’s face, talked unabashedly about killing him once he left Guan Shan Island, displaying an utter brazenness and arrogance.

The six loose cultivators who had come with Huang Xiaolong were now terrified out of their wits. They thought to themselves, it’s all over–we’re doomed! We’ve caused an unmitigated disaster! The Kunlun Sect, it’s like a juggernaut; how could loose cultivators like us ever provoke them? Although Huang Xiaolong was highly skilled in mana and possessed a flying sword, he was from the Central Plains!

His foundation in the overseas cultivators’ world was virtually non-existent!

Within the Kunlun Sect, any high-level expert could suppress him with ease!

“Humph!!!!” The brocade-robed youth had a thought, but not daring to be too reckless here, he retracted the intense murderous pressure and sneered sinisterly. “Boy, you’ve got guts. But all the guts in the world are useless without true strength. You’ll die quickly.”

“Hahaha~~ That’s precisely what I should be saying to you,” Huang Xiaolong replied with an indifferent laugh.

Ying Aoshan, Song Yuru, and the three little demons all watched with amusement, not the least bit worried for Huang Xiaolong. They all knew what kind of being Huang Xiaolong was.

In the auction hall, there were many cultivators who were now taking pleasure in Huang Xiaolong’s predicament. Some cultivators were even joking about the brocade-robed youth.

“Young Master Chang, why get angry?” At this moment, a middle-aged man in a date-red long robe hurried over.

The mana waves emanating from this man indicated that he was at the late stage of the Mana Realm, only a step away from the early stage of Divine Skills. However, without taking that step, he would ultimately be nothing more than cannon fodder. Therefore, he appeared very frail in front of the brocade-robed youth.

The middle-aged man wore a badge on his chest, identifying him as a staff member of the auction house.

“Humph! This loose cultivator dared to insult me here. What’s wrong with your auction house? Since when can insignificant loose cultivators freely come and go?” the brocade-robed youth demanded with an accusatory look.

“This~~ Young Master Chang, there is no need for anger. I will handle it, I will handle it,” the middle-aged staffer responded obsequiously, clearly very afraid of the brocade-robed youth.

And no wonder, for a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, regardless of their own realm, merely mentioning their backing was enough to make few people uncooperative.

“Ahem~~” The middle-aged staffer straightened his back, looking at Huang Xiaolong and the others with a somewhat sinister gaze. His realm might not be high, but having worked many years at the auction house and seen countless people, his ability to judge others was quite keen.

Upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, whose attire was not a vestment robe (garments embedded with formations that emit mana with certain defensive capabilities–almost all sect disciples have them), and then looking at the weak loose cultivators standing beside Huang Xiaolong, who looked pitiable, and even more so at Song Yuru and Ying Aoshan, who were even weaker, almost no different from ordinary people. And the three little demons, they didn’t seem special in any way.

‘Great! A bunch of ants have run to the auction house to spectate! And they dared to offend Young Master Chang of the Kunlun Sect! They’re causing trouble for me! Damn it! Trash!’ he thought.

The middle-aged staffer’s gaze became increasingly cold. “You all, immediately apologize to Young Master Chang! Then, leave the auction house!”

“Apologize?” Huang Xiaolong said, laughing instead of getting angry. “And who might you be?”

“I am the auction house deacon of Guan Shan Island Market! What, you wish to take revenge on me? Hahahaha~~~~ Don’t you owe Young Master Chang an apology?” the middle-aged man demanded aggressively.

“Oh~~” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “So this is an auction house, and you’re the deacon of the auction house, right?”

“Kid, you talk too much!” The middle-aged man growled impatiently. If it wasn’t for the strict orders from the lord of Guan Shan Island Market that forbade anyone from fighting on the island, he might have already burst forth and slaughtered Huang Xiaolong on the spot.

“It’s not nonsense.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “The auction house is a place for trading goods, and you, as the auction house deacon, have the duty to receive guests here to trade items. And I, just happen to have some items to sell at this auction house. The way you treat me shouldn’t be to force me to apologize to someone from the Kunlun Sect. I have a question for you– are you the deacon of the auction house, or are you a dog raised by the Kunlun Sect?”

Pfft~~~!

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood at that!

Huang Xiaolong’s words really choked him!

Without any fuss or exaggeration, Huang Xiaolong spoke each word with moral superiority and each phrase struck deep, leaving the middle-aged man speechless with no counterargument!

Even the other cultivators in the auction hall couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

“Hey! The kid’s sharp-tongued, quite a handful indeed!”

“His words are harsh, but reasonable. Acting as an auction manager and actively driving away patrons while blatantly favoring the Kongtong Sect’s people is indeed quite shameless.”

“However, this kid’s too brash and lacks the strength. Disaster looms over him, I’m afraid.”

…

“Zhou Zhou, step back,” a gentle female voice said.

A young woman who looked to be in her twenties walked over, with a delicate face and extraordinary bearing.

Huang Xiaolong saw that the young woman’s real age must be around 200 years, and her aura was at least no different from the two Shushan Sect disciples he had killed, a real expert, out of the league of that Kongtong Sect disciple in the brocade robe.

“Yes, yes, Miss Zhan.” The middle-aged man dared not dawdle any further, shooting Huang Xiaolong a resentful glance before stepping aside.

“Remember your place,” Miss Zhan said coldly, sweeping the middle-aged man with a stern look. Then, she turned to Huang Xiaolong. “You are right; our auction house should be impartial and not show favoritism towards anyone.”

“Miss Zhan,” the young man in the brocade robe also seemed somewhat wary of her, and quickly said, “Miss Zhan, it is not that I’m being unreasonable; it’s just that these loose cultivators don’t understand the rules. If they have something to sell, they should go to the night market and set up a stall, but this auction house is for treasured items. Why should they be allowed in?”

“Hmm,” Miss Zhan nodded, looking at Huang Xiaolong. “Gentlemen, it’s not that our auction house doesn’t welcome you, but according to the rules, indeed, our auction house only deals with treasured items.”

“Get out immediately!” The arrogance of the young man in the brocade robe flared again.

“Treasured item transactions?” Huang Xiaolong said with amusement, looking at the man in the brocade robe. “I do indeed have treasured items to sell to the auction house.”

“Hahahaha~~~ Immortal Cranes? Are you referring to those few cranes of yours? How ludicrous, such birds are hardly considered treasured items! Go set up a stall in the night market!” The young man in the brocade robe roared with laughter, displaying his disdain without reserve.

“Immortal Cranes? I never said I wanted to sell my Immortal Cranes~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “So, you’ve also come to this auction house with treasured items to sell?”

“Of course!” The young man’s tone revealed an unmistakable trace of arrogance, “I found three sword techniques in a relic, are such items not considered treasured?”

As soon as these words were spoken, gasps of astonishment filled the entire hall.

Sword techniques, especially those found in relics, were definitely extremely precious! Even more valuable than some lower-quality flying swords. After all, without the sword technique, one cannot fully unleash the power of a flying sword.

Upon hearing this, Ying Aoshan’s interest was piqued–‘Oh, these sword techniques are akin to the secret martial arts of our ancient martial arts circles. Their value must indeed be high. If these are powerful techniques, then that’s truly extraordinary.’
Even Miss Zhan appeared slightly moved. “Young Master Chang, three sword techniques?”

“Yes, three. According to the eyes of a Kongtong Sect disciple like myself, those three sword techniques are incredibly powerful! It’s just a pity they’re not a complete set, otherwise, I wouldn’t need to come to Guan Shan Island’s bazaar at all. The rewards from returning to the sect are unimaginable,” Young Master Chang said, a tinge of regret flashing in his eyes.

“Why are you still standing here? Haven’t you rolled out yet?” Young Master Chang once again told Huang Xiaolong to leave.

This time, Miss Zhan did not stop him.

“Wait~~ three sword techniques? Hahaha~~ is this what you call a treasured item transaction? Alright then, I will also bring out the item I wish to sell; I suppose it should be, barely, tens to hundreds of times more valuable than your three sword techniques,” Huang Xiaolong said with a teasing smile.

His words were met with roaring laughter in the hall.

What could be tens to hundreds of times more valuable than three sword techniques? A superior magic weapon? An Immortal Pill?

“Hahahaha~~~ You brat, what an outrageous claim!” Enraged yet amused, Young Master Chang then brewed up a sinister scheme in his eyes. “Well then, the appraisers in this auction house have quite the discerning eye. Boy, bring out your item for the appraiser to assess. If, indeed, the item you wish to sell is more valuable than my three sword techniques, I will let you off. But if your item is mediocre and can’t surpass the value of my three sword techniques, then… kneel down and call me ‘grandpa’ three times. How about that?”

“Eh~~ you want to make a bet on this?” Huang Xiaolong’s heart surged with joy, barely containing his laughter. “Alright, if the item I wish to sell is worth more than your three sword techniques, you will kneel and kowtow, and I wouldn’t want you to call me anything–I don’t wish to be your grandfather. Having such an unworthy descendant would trouble me enough.”
