The Lafayette was known to at least half of Ravenridge’s nearly one million residents. But to most people, it was simply a century–old luxury hotel. Very few knew that beneath it lay the largest underground auction house in the entire 200,000–acre Mornwick.

The auction hall was built in a circular design. Rows of seats curved in a wide arc around the stage, wrapping around more than a thousand chairs. The auction platform, made of crystal glass, shone brilliantly under the lights.

At this moment, almost every seat was occupied.

Most of those present were leaders or heirs of well–known martial arts sects and prominent martial families in Astria. The weakest among them were Martial Sovereigns. Quite a few Transcendent Realm experts were also seated among the crowd.

Yet a strange scene could be seen inside the hall.

No matter whether they were Transcendent Realm experts or Martial Sovereigns, everyone sat from the fourth row onward. The second and third rows were completely empty. In the first row, only four people were seated.

The others deliberately left two full rows between themselves and those four figures. It was not only out of fear, but also out of respect for true power.

The reason was simple. Those four were the strongest beings of the current era–hundred- year King Phases.

They were the same four King Phases who had previously sat together with Leander and Julian in the octagonal pavilion.

Once someone stepped into the King Phase, their aura, pressure, and influence over heaven and earth surpassed ordinary understanding. Regular martial artists could not even endure the oppressive force within several feet of them. Even Transcendent Realm experts, who were closest to the King Phase, stayed well beyond that range and did not dare cross the invisible boundary.

The River Angler looked aged and frail, but his eyes held restrained brilliance, his cultivation deeply hidden. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his expression calm, as if nothing around him mattered.

Leonard Valentrine, also known as the Mistwalker, had a sharp and imposing gaze fixed on the auction stage. Wherever his eyes passed, it felt like blades slicing through the air.

Wilbur Warren folded his hands over his knees, overlooking the hall with a commanding presence.

Aciel Atheron had refined features and a unique aura. He wore a luxurious robe embroidered with python patterns, like a royal noble. His presence was dignified and untouchable.

The four King Phases dominated the entire venue, becoming the undisputed center of attention. Many cast secret glances at them, only to quickly look away, afraid of being noticed.

In the fourth row sat mostly Transcendent Realm experts. In the fifth row, Claire and Violet sat together, surrounded by sect leaders and heads of martial families.

Logically speaking, both Claire and Violet belonged to the younger generation and did not have the seniority to sit alongside these figures. Yet, no one objected to their

presence.

ago, she

Claire was the once–in–a–century sword prodigy of Silvermoon Sect. Half a month had already reached the peak of Martial Sovereign and was on the verge of stepping into the Transcendent Realm.

As for Violet, few present knew her true identity. But the ancient sword in her hand, the Celestial Reliant Blade, made it clear that she was the successor of Envine. Who would dare show her disrespect?

“Claire, where’s Jeff?”

Violet blinked her beautiful eyes and scanned the surroundings, but Leander was nowhere in sight. She could not help but feel puzzled.

Claire gently shook her head.

“He entered the auction hall before we did. Logically, he should have arrived earlier than us.”

Just as the two were wondering, two figures suddenly appeared beside them.

One of them was a young man with a blue headband tying back his hair. He had refined features and carried a long sword. He smiled slightly at Claire.

“It’s you, Lady of Radiance. Ever since we parted at the Southern Shore, we finally met again.”

Claire calmly turned her head. When she saw who it was, she returned a polite smile.

“It’s you, Kian. Please, have a seat.”

It was Kian of the Mount Sect, one of the nine top martial arts prodigies in Astria.

At Claire’s invitation, a trace of joy flashed in Kian’s eyes. He sat down beside her. The young man in white next to him, his face filled with admiration, followed and took a seat as well.

As Kian sat down, he noticed Violet beside Claire.

Claire was already recognized as one of the most beautiful women in the current martial world. Yet, Violet’s beauty did not lose to hers in the slightest. Her temperament was elegant and classical, clearly not that of an ordinary person.

His gaze shifted–and suddenly landed on the Celestial Reliant Blade in Violet’s hand.

“Is that the Celestial Reliant Blade?”

His pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he had already guessed her identity. At that moment, Claire also turned to introduce Violet.

“Allow me to introduce you guys. Violet, this is Kian. I’m sure you’ve heard of him.”

Violet’s gem–like eyes finally shifted toward him.

“The sword is a mighty weapon capable of battle. I’ve long heard of Kian’s achievements. Today, we’re finally meeting in person.”

After speaking, she cupped her hands politely in greeting.

Kian knew she was referring to the time he had slain seven monsters in Klolk. He quickly returned the salute, not daring to act arrogantly.

“Oh, you flatter me. With my small amount of skill, how could I compare to the successor of ancient Envine?”

Violet smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying his words.

At that moment, the young boy beside Kian suddenly asked, “Kian, why is no one sitting in the second and third rows? Why don’t we move up to the second row? It’s closer to the stage.”

His tone was youthful and straightforward. It was clear he lacked experience in the martial world.

Kian immediately waved his hand. “Don’t be foolish. Do you see the four people in the first row?”

He gestured toward the front and said in a low voice, “Those four are the strongest of this era. They are legendary hundred–year King Phases. Even if our master came personally, he probably wouldn’t dare sit there.

“To sit in the same row as them, one must also be a hundred–year King Phase. And to sit in the second or third row near them, you’d need to at least reach King Phase or Infernal Crown Transcendent. If you truly have the courage, go ahead and sit there.”

The boy’s face changed instantly, fear filling his expression.
