The murder of Tang Hu triggered the wrath of the Tang Family, which is considered a mid-level family in the Chaos Ancient City.

But even a mid-level family like this should not be underestimated, as their strength is often formidable.

In a place like Chaos Ancient City, one cannot establish themselves without ruthless methods.

Therefore, upon learning that Tang Hu was killed, the Tang Family immediately deployed experts to kill Lin Feng, Poison Rose, and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons because many in the Tang Family believed that only by doing so could they restore the family’s honor.

It wasn’t difficult for the Tang Family to find the residence of Lin Feng and the others. When the experts of the Tang Family arrived, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons personally went out to deal with the matter. This guy was like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, suppressing his realm to a very low level, but his combat power was unimaginably terrifying. How could the Tang Family be a match for the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons? All the experts who came were killed by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Then, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons personally attacked the Tang Family gate. Even though all the experts of the Tang Family came out, they still weren’t the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons’ match.

In the end, most of the Tang Family experts were slaughtered by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons. The remaining ones surrendered, and only then were they spared. Afterward, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons looted the Tang Family’s Treasure Vault completely.

Many onlookers were dumbfounded, not expecting the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons to be so formidable.

"Tang Hu provoked someone he shouldn’t have, and now the Tang Family has suffered. So many experts in the Tang Family have died, they will surely be replaced by other forces."

"That guy definitely concealed his strength. So cunning! The entire Tang Family got involved."

"Luckily it was Tang Hu who acted first back then; if it were us, we’d be the ones dead by now."

Many people began to chatter.

Of course, for the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons, this matter was just a small issue. Even in Chaos Ancient City, it was not a major event.

As time passed, Chaos Ancient City became increasingly lively, with more and more cultivators entering the city, clearly all for the God Transformation Fruit.

The God Transformation Fruit! It is a Supreme Treasure that can help cultivators break through to the God Realm; naturally, countless people would go crazy for it.

Lin Feng went into seclusion for over half a month to comprehend the Great Poison Skill. The heavens did not let down a willing heart, and Lin Feng finally succeeded in comprehending this unparalleled Divine Skill.

Now, Lin Feng has cultivated the Great Poison Skill to the realm of Minor Achievement. The next step is to slowly perfect it, striving to cultivate the Great Poison Skill to the level of Great Achievement, Perfection, or even Great Perfection.

Seeing Lin Feng come out of seclusion, Poison Rose came to find him, saying fiercely, "What exactly do you want to let me go?"

"During the time I was in seclusion, you should have already contacted your Poison Rose Mercenary Group, right?" Lin Feng said with a faint smile.

Poison Rose replied, "So what if I did?"

Lin Feng pinched Poison Rose’s fair chin and said, "That’s good. Help me with one thing, and after it’s done, I’ll give you back your freedom."

"What thing?" Poison Rose asked.

"You’ve stayed in the Poison Mist Forest for so long; even in Chaos Ancient City, you should have your connections, right?" Lin Feng said.

Poison Rose nodded and said, "Naturally."

"What about in the auction house?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes!" Poison Rose nodded.

"The person auctioning the God Transformation Fruit will certainly go to the auction house to collect their commission. When that person appears, inform me," Lin Feng said.

Poison Rose sneered and said, "You are being too demanding... The auction house has its own rules and reputation; they would never betray the identity of the consignor. If the auction house did that, once the word gets out, their business would be ruined."

"I don’t want to hear those excuses; I just want to know if you can help me accomplish this task," Lin Feng said, glancing lightly at Poison Rose.

Poison Rose’s expression was uncertain, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don’t know when that person will come, but you wait for the news!"

Then she pushed Lin Feng aside and gave him a fierce glare before swaying her hips and walking out.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Then let’s hope for a successful cooperation!"

...

The long-awaited auction finally began, and this day was a gathering of the strong. Lin Feng, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons, and Poison Rose entered the auction house and reserved a private box with a hefty payment, quietly awaiting the start of the auction.

"Jin Wushu of the Golden Crow Clan has arrived..."

"Muc Jiuzhou, the young Domain Master of the Poison Domain, has arrived..."

"Dongfang Jiuge, the young Domain Master of the Southern Wilderness Domain, has arrived..."

A lot of important figures arrived, and even the sons of many Domain Masters attended. Clearly, these Domain Master’s sons also wanted to obtain the God Transformation Fruit.

Breaking through to the God Realm is exceedingly difficult; the God Transformation Fruit is a shortcut.

"It seems this competition will be extremely fierce. Do you have enough money for the God Transformation Fruit? Perhaps we can sign a contract; I could lend you some," Poison Rose said with a smile, looking at Lin Feng.

"Loan shark?" Lin Feng scoffed.

"For a Domain Master like you, it’s not high. You rule a domain and gather wealth; wouldn’t it be easy to pay back?" Poison Rose said with a laugh.

Lin Feng said, "Your little money is just my pocket change."

"You brag...," Poison Rose scoffed, not believing Lin Feng’s words.

Over the years, Poison Rose accumulated wealth comparable to mountains through killing and looting.

Though Lin Feng is a Domain Master, the Dragon Gate Domain was just established recently, hardly having had time to amass wealth.

Lin Feng didn’t explain anything.

He was waiting for the auction to start.

"Dong dong dong..." As three gongs sounded.

The auction began.

Hosting the auction were an elder and a beautiful woman.

The elder clasped his hands and said with a smile, "I am Zongzheng Wanqi, the auctioneer of Chaos Ancient City’s auction house, and this is my partner Nangong Tianqing. We are responsible for the auction today. Every bid for an auction item must not be less than one hundred thousand gold coins. Now, let’s start with the first auction item."

After the elder’s words, a maid walked up carrying a tray.

The beautiful woman unveiled the silk on the tray, and everyone saw a porcelain bottle on it.

"Everyone, inside are insect eggs, of a renowned ancient insect, the Ancient Ancestor Insect’s eggs!" the beautiful woman said with a smile.

"What? Ancient Ancestor Insect? Eggs of the Ancient Ancestor Insect, one of the Ten Great Divine Insects of the Ancient Era?"

...

The moment the beautiful woman finished her words, the entire auction house erupted like a boiling pot.

The Ten Great Divine Insects of the Ancient Era are known for their defiance of nature. It is said that adult Ancient Ancestor Insects feed on Divine Spirits. Some of the strongest Ancient Ancestor Insects even prey on Giant Gods and Quasi-Emperors as their food.
