C18 Iron Soul Hall

"Young Master Nan, are you in trouble?" Dugu Hong walked to Guo Nan's side, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice.

Guo Nan shook his head easily, "It's nothing, they tricked me. You'll know tomorrow what the situation is like. "

"If you need help, don't worry about it. Our Misty Rain Pavilion still has some power." Dugu Hong said.

Guo Nan nodded his head, and laughed: "Let's welcome the guests first. This time, just based on the income from the tickets, it's worth a few million gold already. If they wanted to enter, they had to increase the price. I think even if it was fifty thousand gold, they would still be willing to. After all, this is a good opportunity to curry favor with the great clans of Changyang City. "

"That's only natural. How can we not return the money we made?"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

The top forces of the Changyang City arrived one after another. Yuwen Clan, Di Family, and, the representative of the royal family, entered the stage one after another. The people from military wing had long sat in the private rooms and drank their tea without saying anything about the admission fee.

Qian Jinbao brought imperial concubine Qiu Yue down the carriage.

Guo Nan and Dugu Hong both went forward to welcome him. Even the Fourth Prince Li Shi did not receive such treatment.

"Shopkeeper Qian, thank you for your support. Please come in." Dugu Hong said with a smile.

"Uncle Qian, I promise you, if you can win in the end this time, the price of Tianwu Academy's Licensing Orders will be 10% off." Guo Nan smiled and said, looking at Qian Jinbao apologetically.

Last time he tricked him, this time his promise could be considered a form of compensation.

Qian Jinbao laughed: "Young Master Nan is too courteous, I am lacking in money lately, I can't take down Licensing Orders s. However, if we were to get our hands on it, how about a 20% discount? "

"It's a 20% discount. As long as Uncle Qian is happy, it's fine." Guo Nan felt relieved in his heart. After hearing Qian Jinbao's words, he had already put the matter of Qiu Yue's assassination at the back of his mind, so he would not pursue the matter of Guo Nan making him the scapegoat.

Qian Jinbao looked around, went close to Guo Nan's ear and whispered: "Young Master Nan, I have spent a lot of energy to investigate. That time, the killer was not Di Family, nor was it the Qin family.

Guo Nan was startled, "Who is it?"

"Hall of Souls!" Qian Jinbao's face became gloomy and said softly.

Guo Nan and Dugu Hong's faces changed at the same time.

The Hall of Souls was one of the top forces in the Wucheng Mainland. Its strength was definitely among the top three in the entire continent! But they were a group of assassins that took money to buy their lives, not a power from a sect or academy. Those who joined the Hall of Souls were all fugitives. There was no lack of fierce, nightmarish existences among them.

"Uncle Qian, the killers from the Hall of Souls have actually expanded to a remote country like Li Tangguo?" Guo Nan asked in shock.

The Hall of Souls was normally active in the central region of the continent. The worst case scenario would be that they would have to be located in a powerful place like the Tiancheng Empire, where there would be a low-level branch power organization of the Hall of Souls. As for Li Tangguo, in the Wucheng Mainland, he was a drop in the ocean. How could a person from the Hall of Souls appear in a barbarian land?

"I don't know either. I found out that a Dan Yuan Stage Expert came to Li Tangguo and established a branch of the Iron Soul Hall."

"Iron Soul Hall? That was nothing to fear. The Young Master Nan's Soul Hall was divided into eight levels, the headquarters was called the Sacred Soul Hall, below it were four people from the Heaven Soul Hall, sixteen people from the Earth Soul Hall, and sixty-four people from the Hall of Human Souls. Below them, were the Hall of Golden Soul s, a total of two hundred and fifty-six. There are thousands of Silver Soul Hall s behind, tens of thousands of Bronze Soul Hall disciples and countless number of Iron Soul Hall disciples. Dugu Hong explained in a somewhat relieved manner.

The Iron Soul Hall was of a very low level, not much better than the large clans of Changyang City. Even to the extent of being inferior to Guo Family, this kind of pillar of the army.

"We have to be careful, no one knows what they are doing in the Changyang City. Logically speaking, even the Iron Soul Hall would not come to a place like Li Tangguo's."

Qian Jinbao warned Guo Nan to be careful before he carried Qiu Yue and entered the Misty Rain Pavilion.

After his body moved for a moment, Guo Nan seemed to have casually glanced at Qiu Yue. The woman was wrapped in a veil, but an enchanting aura spread out through the veil, and Guo Nan could vaguely see the bright eyes behind the veil, causing his heart to tremble.

"In less than a month's time, this woman's bewitching skills have become even more powerful. "When I met an ordinary female from the Goblin Tribe in my previous life, her charm skills were low, it was completely incomparable to her bloodline. I think she is a very noble person amongst the Goblin Tribes," Guo Nan thought.

Only after the powerful nobles of the Changyang City entered the arena did it become the turn of the local forces. From 30,000 to 50,000 silver, it was clear to him.

It was worth mentioning that the Qin family had only sent an old housekeeper.

Finally, the Prince Quang got off the carriage with Zhao Qingling.

"The Licensing Orders Auction was originally prepared for Li Tangguo's young talent. You are all members of the Zhao Song and thus, you wish to bid for the Licensing Orders. One person would get one hundred thousand for entering the auction."

Guo Nan sneered, and opened his mouth wide. Just like Li Tangguo, the Zhao Song s only had one spot every year. The temptation of Licensing Orders s to them was not small at all.

Zhao Qingling stared at Guo Nan with blazing eyes, and bellowed: "Guo Nan, are you really going to do this?"

"What is it? Very unsatisfied? "Hehe, if you're so capable, then bite my butt. If you don't want to bite my butt, then bite my ass." Guo Nan laughed sinisterly.

Zhao Qingling was furious, her face and neck red, her killing intent soaring to the skies.

Prince Quang waved his hand, signalling for Zhao Qingling to stop talking. He took out a note that was two hundred thousand kilometers long and handed it over to Guo Nan.

He pulled Zhao Qingling along without even opening his mouth, and with a cold expression, he entered the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"Young Master Nan, I heard that you made the people of Zhao Song suffer on the way here, did they come to Li Tangguo to deal with you?" Dugu Hong looked at Guo Nan strangely, thinking that this guy had been secretive, but once it erupted, Guo Nan would become the troublemaker, right now he was surrounded by enemies.

Guo Nan shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "We can only try our best. In Changyang City, they can't do anything."

The Misty Rain Pavilion was packed full of people. Guo Nan and Dugu Hong closed the door to thank the guests. Inside Misty Rain Pavilion, Dugu Hong's elite guards were all around, closely watching the people who were bidding. Outside the Misty Rain Pavilion, the thousand elite soldiers of the city guards were on guard. Many archers were hidden in the surrounding buildings.

The auction was absolutely safe, no one could steal anything from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Dugu Hong carried the Licensing Orders and walked up the stage while smiling. All the people present were influential nobles, and there was no lack of young mistresses in their families. He stopped playing the game of seductive beauty, and didn't have any pretty beauties standing by his side.

"I am Dugu Hong, for tonight's auction, there will only be one Tianwu Academy Licensing Orders, and no other decorations. For ordinary things, even I wouldn't dare to take them out and make a fool of myself. Everyone is aware of how precious Licensing Orders are. In this auction, there is no starting price. The ultimate winner, no matter where he lived, would not have to worry about the safety of the road. Misty Rain Pavilion is in charge of escorting everyone to the manor. Other than Li Tangguo, Misty Rain Pavilion will also take on the responsibility of taking the risk on the road. "

Hearing that, everyone inside the Misty Rain Pavilion was startled. The Misty Rain Pavilion was in charge of escorting them?

Those from the outside powers, as well as those from other countries, all calmed down. With Misty Rain Pavilion's words, he could throw away all his reservations and bid. Everyone was convinced of the Misty Rain Pavilion's ability and reputation.

Dugu Hong looked around and laughed lightly: "Everyone, bid. The Tianwu Academy is recruiting soon, so after obtaining the Licensing Orders, you will be exempted from this competition, and it will even give the family one more spot. Also, I need to explain one more thing. This Licensing Orders is one of the ten Licensing Orders sent out by the Tianwu Academy this year. Bringing it into the Tianwu Academy will make it into the direct disciple of an elder.

Dugu Hong's words had just come out, and the entire audience was in an uproar!

"Become the direct disciple of the Tianwu Academy Elder?"

"Are you for real?" Isn't this too overpowered? "

"Yeah, in the past, when we, Li Tangguo's young talents went to the Tianwu Academy, they were all marginal characters. Only the Prince Guo back then acknowledged an elder as his master."

"Doesn't that mean that if we obtain that Licensing Orders, our future achievements would be able to surpass the Prince Guo?"

"Isn't it too strong? Master of the Misty Rain Tower's wrist is astonishing, you can actually get something like this? "

"I wonder what kind of sky-high price we'll get in the end. The rest of us can only be spectators."

"So what if you're a spectator? To be able to witness such an auction was an honor in itself. Furthermore, if they knew which family obtained the Licensing Orders, they could get close to each other as soon as possible.

Shouts of surprise rang out in the auction hall as everyone whispered to each other. They were all filled with anticipation towards the auction. Even though they all knew that those that were able to bid were all in the second floor's room.

Inside the private box, the members of the Changyang City's large families were whispering to each other. They, who were already determined to get their hands on the Licensing Orders, became even more anxious.

"Take down the Licensing Orders as much as possible!"

"Even if I have to spend most of my family's wealth, I must obtain it!"

"This is a great opportunity for our family. We must seize it!"

"Everyone, within our Misty Rain Pavilion, we have the best actuaries. If you want to obtain the Licensing Orders, you can directly pay for it or you can exchange it with items. I guarantee that our actuaries will give a reasonable price and will not take the opportunity to push the price down."

Dugu Hong waved his hand, and ten old men in black walked out and stood on the stage. They were all actuaries of some sort, waiting for someone to give them a reasonable price.

Everyone, you can start bidding now. The Licensing Orders that can become the subordinate of the Tianwu Academy's elder, if you miss it, you will never have it again in your entire life.

After Dugu Hong finished speaking, he smiled at everyone present. As expected, the scene was very quiet. Everyone in the lobby kept their mouths shut. A casual bid would be filled with laughter.

Guo Nan was extremely calm while sitting in a private room on the second floor. This auction did not seem to have much to do with the Guo Family. However, only Guo Nan and Dugu Hong knew how many waves and storms their plotted plan would cause!

The powerful officials of the Changyang City in the box did not move an inch, but the people in the great hall were gradually becoming impatient.

A small noble from outside the city stood up and said somewhat embarrassedly: "This one is Zhou Bo, from the Southern City. None of you gentlemen are willing to take the lead in bidding. One million silver. This is the highest price I can offer. "

"You dare to come out and embarrass yourself with one million silver taels?" I bid two million silver! "

"Four million!" Even if you have to spend all your family's wealth, you will not hesitate to obtain such a great treasure! "

The crowd immediately erupted, and when Dugu Hong heard the price rise, a smile blossomed on his face.

Outside the Misty Rain Pavilion, under the cover of night, a small team formed of Condensing Yuan Stage experts, dressed in the Qin Wang Manor's guard uniform, quietly approached the Misty Rain Pavilion!

Inside the box, Guo Nan meditated with his legs crossed, absorbing the primeval stone s to increase his strength. Looking at the time, he had a strange smile on his face as he thought to himself, "They should be coming soon, right?"
