. Amidst the hustle and bustle, the Yancheng Auction arrived as scheduled.
Mo Tang had already returned to Yancheng from the imperial capital half a month earlier.
After taking the Seven Core Pill, Yun Yun had already fully entered the transformation phase. Once the time came, she would be reborn and reappear in the public eye.
With the entire Jia Ma Empire's attention focused on Yancheng, there was no need to worry about anyone harboring malicious intentions, especially in the Mo
Family Castle conference hall, headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
Mo Tang sat at the head of the table, looking at Mo Lan, the clan leader next to him, and asked, "Patriarch, how are the preparations going outside?"
Mo Lan's expression shifted, and with a hint of respect in his voice, he said, "Everything is ready. We've assigned dedicated personnel to handle both the reception and maintaining order in the city. It's just..."
Mo Tang smiled faintly, looking at Mo Lan, who looked guilty, and asked, "Just what?"
Wiping the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Mo Lan smiled awkwardly and said, "Great Elder, many of these powerful individuals entering the city are Douling, or even Douwang-level beings. If they truly cause trouble in the city, we... may not be able to stop them!"
This was the awkwardness of insufficient foundation.
Grand Doushi were already considered powerful within the Mo Alliance, and Doushi were the backbone of the force, with the vast majority still Douzhe...
In the current situation, what use were these people?
Without enough powerful individuals, you wouldn't even be qualified to be a security guard maintaining order!
While the Mo League has grown rapidly in recent years, cultivating powerful individuals takes more than a year or two. Currently, the strongest individual in the entire Mo League is merely a beginner Dou Ling, and there's only one of them.
The Mo Clan, aside from the pervert Mo Tang, only has two peak-level Grand Dou Masters, whose strength isn't even the strongest in the Mo League...
However, Mo Tang had naturally been prepared for Mo Lan's concerns.
"Don't worry, I've already considered this. You just need to follow the rules of Yancheng. If anyone dares to cause trouble, there will naturally be someone to deal with them..."
Hearing Mo Tang's words, Mo Lan, the head of the Mo Clan, breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, when he first heard that Mo Tang was planning to hold an unprecedented auction in Yancheng, he thought he'd misheard.
With the Mo League's current strength, it's fine to be a local overlord in a remote place like the Eastern Province, but you really think you're the Yunlan Sect?
But everything that happened afterwards made Mo Lan's worldview shatter...
Dou Wang!
His own family had actually produced a Dou Wang!
This was something he had never dared to imagine!
When the news was confirmed, Mo Lan locked himself in his room for an entire day...
It is said that that night, many patrolling guards in Mojia Fort heard a sinister, eerie laugh lingering over the family, as if someone was suddenly covered in laughter.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed again.
Today was the opening day of the Yancheng Auction.
In the back hall of the massive auction hall, built by the Mo family with the help of all the forces of the Mo League, Mo Lan once again found the relaxed Mo Tang...
Mo Tang had already become the backbone of the Mo family. Even the head of the family, Mo Lan, felt guilty about everything he did when he didn't see him.
"Great Elder, the commotion we've created this time has attracted many powerful figures from both within and outside the empire, including quite a few at the Dou Huang level. What if something unexpected happens?"
Mo Lan had originally thought that the arrival of a few Dou Wang-level experts was already a great achievement, but now, seeing that there were more than a handful of Dou Huangs...
and these Dou Huangs weren't just from the Jia Ma Empire; even the surrounding Chu Yun, Mu Lan, and Luo Yan empires had many experts in attendance.
This made Mo Lan nervous again.
However, his behavior made Mo Tang shake his head. He
was indeed from a humble background. Even after two years as leader of the Mo Alliance, he was still so hopeless.
"Didn't I tell you, just do the auction well, and leave everything else to me!" He
emphasized this again, and Mo Tang dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
After Mo Lan left, Mo Tang slid Xiao Qi, the Sky-Swallowing Python, out of his arms...
"Hey, Queen, isn't it time to show up and get to work?"
As he spoke, Xiao Qi's lively eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of cold, clear gazes.
After a burst of colorful light, a curvaceous figure appeared before Mo Tang's vision.
"I'm warning you, never again speak to me by my tail!"
Queen Medusa's face froze, her voice filled with anger.
Mo Tang: "...!"
Well, he'd gotten used to carrying Xiao Qi. Now, whenever he touched the little one, he couldn't help but lift her tail...
If it were just Xiao Qi, it wouldn't be a big deal. Now, the little one seemed to enjoy being held in front of Mo Tang like this, and she'd even lick his cheek or nose with her tongue.
But such a shameful posture was an intolerable humiliation for Queen Medusa!
"Ah! Well... I'll be more careful next time."
Giving Mo Tang a sharp look, Queen Medusa turned and headed straight for the auction venue.
As the crowd entered, the vast auction hall gradually filled with a sea of people.
From above, the sea of heads stretched to an almost endless depth...
The clamor and shouting, combined, threatened to burst through the ceiling.
Ninety-nine percent of these people were from the Jiama Empire, though they were members of small and medium-sized factions, with many simply joining in the fun.
The real buyers this time would be the powerful individuals seated in the front rows...
As with all auctions, the best-viewed seats at the front of the auction hall were naturally reserved for prominent figures and faction leaders.
Those with Dou Wang-level strength were seated in the VIP seats.
At this time, many people not far from the VIP seats had already begun to whisper...
because they saw many powerful people who were rarely seen in the past, now appearing one by one.
The Jia Ma Royal Family, the Miter Family, the Mu Family and other first-class forces in the empire were all present.
Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, Hai Bodong, Gu He and even the top ten powerful people in the Jia Ma Empire were all present!
In addition, powerful people from the Tianwu Mansion of the Chuyun Empire, the Mulan Valley of the Mulan Empire, and the Tianyan Sect of the Luoyan Empire all came.
The unprecedented auction that Mo Tang mentioned was "unprecedented" indeed, but whether it could be "unprecedented" was hard to say.
