Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a loud cry was heard from a distance. When everyone glanced at the source of this cry, they immediately saw a huge grey ape with a powerful aura flying toward them. It carried several men on its back and a couple of them were old men; the remaining were young men. The old men were at the Core Formation stage while the youngsters were at the Body Strengthening stage.

The leader of this group seemed to be in his fifties, and his aura was the strongest amongst the group. Michael could tell the man was just a few more months cultivation away from reaching the Core Strengthening stage level 2. Although he couldn't be compared to Victor who was at the Core Strengthening stage level 5, he was still a mighty existence.

All of them wore the same bluish robes and their eyes were filled with anger. They didn't seem too friendly but it was as if they could kill anyone at any time.

"Hey, who are these guys?" Michael nudged Gaya and asked.

"They are from the Spring Garden Sect. It was not as big and powerful as the three big Sects but they weren't that weak either" She said but Michael could see the slight frown on her face.

"Why did they send their Elder to the auction instead of one of the teachers?"

"They look pissed off" She nodded hearing Michael and continued, "Their leading man is Porter Findlay and you're right, they do seem pissed off, I wonder why"

Just like the both of them, many had the same question running in their mind but fortunately, a few of them had the answer.

"You don't know what happened? I heard some of their inner disciples were killed by someone in White jungle during some mini event organized by the Guardian Guild. All of them were Body Strengthening stage level 2 cultivators. And one of the disciples was Milan Finlay, Porter Finlay's grandson"

"Holy shit the Guardian Guild?! and who the hell dared to kill a Finlay, whoever killed him is simply courting death! No wonder why Porter looks so mad, it's all because his grandson was killed by someone"

People were discussing the events everywhere.

"Hehehe, finally some entertainment" Gaya giggled and watched the scene munching on those snacks like she was watching a film.

The men from the Spring Garden Sect walked off from the ape. The grey ape furrowed its brows as if it had just smelled something familiar. The Ape gawked around the area and stared at every single one of them including Michael. After looking around for some time, the ape stopped looking. It couldn't find anything as there were too many people around.

"You guys just wait here until the main auction starts."

Porter Finlay told the disciples from the Spring Garden Sect, then he simply floated toward the Phoenix Island. This was the preferential treatment given to a Core Strengthening stage warrior, not only could they enter the Phoenix Island whenever they wanted but they would also be welcomed to stay as long as they wish.

"What's up y'all bitches! Your daddy Paul, Paul Berry has come to bless yall with my presence!"

Following a sudden roar of laughter, a bald old man with a couple of beauties around him came from far away and landed next to Porter.

"Yo Porter, I heard your grandson is visiting the heavens, congratulations!"

What Old Paul said nearly caused the crowd to spit out their saliva. Porter's grandson just died but this old man not only laughed at him but also congratulated Porter.

"Get lost!"

Porter stared back at Paul like he was going to rip Paul's throat out.

"Haha"

Still, Paul laughed out to his heart's content. After that, he just went straight to Phoenix Island. Clearly, he wasn't afraid of Porter or didn't care about his feelings.

"This old fucker hasn't changed a bit," Gaya said with a little chuckle.

"You know him?"

"Yeah, we crossed paths a couple of times. He's actually a rogue cultivator, just like Victor. The last time I met him, he was at the Core Strengthening stage level 1 and now it seems like he reached level 2 "

"He seems like a funny guy," Michael laughed.

"Don't be fooled by his play full demeanor human, that old man is dangerous, very dangerous" Gaya warned Michael, and by the seriousness of her tone, he nodded and took a note in his mind.

"Why don't I see any familiar faces from Bredia?"

He whispered to Gaya. He was shocked after seeing so many powerful warriors and wondered where the disciples from the Big Sects.

"What's the big deal about Bredia? The last time I checked, there are 5 kingdoms in Elen and Bredia is the weakest one. If this auction was exclusive for Bredia, those fuckers would have come first showing off but now, they just another disciple, not a celebrity disciple"

"Of course I'm in the weakest part in the weakest kingdom in the weakest continent" Michael rolled his eyes. Just like many main characters, he was dropped in the weakest place possible and had to start from the bottom. However, after accessing his current strength and the powerful people around him, he would rather choose to start from the bottom than getting his ass kicked in the powerful regions of the continent. Besides, he could make a name for himself quickly in Bredia and earn more badass points than if he was in powerful kingdoms.

However, he wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible and visit those powerful places because by impressing powerful people, he could earn a significant amount of Badass points compared to Bredia.

"Look!"

"What now?!" Both Gaya and Michael had enough of people making fancy entrances showing off their superiority and wealth.

Micheal looked at the horizon to see a huge silver sword over 30 meters long was soaring toward them. The speed of the sword caused the water to spatter like a speed boat wherever it passed. The sword's size made Michael raise his brows as this sword was the biggest sword he had ever seen. It was over 30 meters long. A group of men and women remained firm upon the sword and each of them wore prideful expressions on their faces.

The group all wore glimmering silver clothes, and they all carried a miniature version of the huge sword on their waists.

"They are from the Aragoth! One of the powerful sects in the Entire Elen continent"

"Hurry up and make way for them, I don't want to be in their way and skewed by that giant sword"

"Yeah let's move away. Even the Royal Family of Elen anyone from Aragoth with respect because of their Sect Master"

"Why won't they? He's is one of the few people in Elen who reached the Soul Refining stage"

"I heard that a Prodigy disciple from Aragoth was killed by a young man named Winston in the Red Summit! That Winston is either really brave or stupid to offend the Aragoth"

"Aragoth isn't the only power he dared to offend. He even killed an Elder from the house of Nickmon. The House Nickmon is one of the major powers in the Kingdom Kethen. Rumors say that this guy ruthlessly killed countless Body Refining and Body Strengthening stage cultivators from great powers inside the White jungle. What's the most shocking thing is, he was just a Body Refining stage level 4 cultivator when he killed them"

"What a freak?!"

"Would you believe he's also a 3-star Alchemist?"

"Are kidding me?! How old is he?"

"I heard he's just reached 21"

" How can he be talented at such a young age? I wonder what this Winston looks like."

"Someone told me that an ice-cold angelic beauty always follows him around. If you see a young man with a girl like that, it is definitely Noah!"

...

After the men from Aragoth arrived, the topic switched to Winston and by hearing all these conversations, even Michale and Gaya were curious about him.

"Human, I think you met your match" Gaya teased him with a nudge to his elbow.

"Another Core Strengthening stage cultivator" Michael ignored Gaya's tease and stared at the old man who was standing in front of the group.

Not long after the people of Aragoth arrived, a few more powerful auras could be sensed from a distance. Another group of men were flying toward the Island standing on top of a circular object. These men also had the same overbearing and prideful expressions as the men and women of Aragoth.

"They are from the House Nickmon!"

"This auction is indeed turning out to be a massive event!"

Many people started exclaiming. A scene like this was certainly a rare one.
