The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 279 The Auction (Part One)

The foot of the Sun Mountain was bearing witness to a lot of hustle andbustle right now.

Red flood-dragon horses, about a dozen in number, could be seengalloping from a mile away, swift as the wind. Before long, they reachedthe mountain and came to a halt in the blink of an eye. The manleading this company of horses was the Chief Elder of the Flaming SunValley, and his name was Dwayne.

The red flood-dragon horse was a rare saddle horse which had earnedits name because its head resembled the flood dragon and its bodylooked like a horse. It could travel tens of thousands of miles a day andwas originally a level three diabolic beast. People had managed to tamea number of them and now, they were used as saddle horses.Evidently, a horse-like body didn't mean it being a horse, and the redflood-dragon horse, even with its equine body, was still so expensivethat only very large sects could afford it.

Besides, not everyone had the ability to tame a level three diabolicbeast.

Although there were a small number of red flood dragon horses in SunSect, they were reserved for the six Elders and the Sect Leader only.Austin was not qualified to ride them, nor was anyone else regardingthat, even though he had already become a principal disciple.

The horses had come near the Sun Mountain. Dwayne had mobilizedhalf of the red flood-dragon horses in the Flaming Sun Valley in hissearch for the man who had killed his grandson.

The horses were quite conspicuous wherever the riders went and drewa lot of attention. Therefore, as soon as the company arrived at the footof the Sun Mountain, the disciples guarding the door immediatelynoticed them and sprang to attention.

Still seated on his horse, Dwayne ordered them in a loud voice, "Go toElder Jaime of your sect. Tell him that his old friend Dwayne is waitingfor him."

The guards were surprised to know that their sect was being visited bypeople from the Flaming Sun Valley. The latter was quite famous andacknowledged to be far superior to Sun Sect itself. What business couldthese men have?

Also, there were a dozen men in the team, and each of them was ridinga red flood-dragon horse. Clearly, they were very powerful and musthave been famous in their own sect.

Thinking about all this, the guards didn't want to mess with thecompany and immediately sent the message he was ordered to.

After a short while, a short but shrewd old man with flashing eyesrushed out of the door to greet the company.

"Haha! Welcome! Dwayne, my friend! I'm so glad to see you! I can'tbelieve you've come to our humble sect. What brings you here?"

The old man was one of the six prominent Elders of the Sun Sect, Jaime."Jaime, it's very nice of you to say so. I hear that the disciples in SunSect are quite extraordinary. Today, I have come here in person just tosee how strong they really are.”

It was about his tone that left Jamie flabbergasted.

"Dwayne, what do you mean? Has any disciple of the Sun Sect offendedyou or the Flaming Sun Valley? Just spit out his name! We have beenfriends for decades, and I will certainly not be partial to our disciples. Iam not going to rest until you are satisfied. Just tell me whathappened.”

Dwayne was the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley and wasextremely powerful. In fact, it was said that he could often influence thedecision-making by the Valley Owner in the sect.

Jaime was a smooth and slick person. The man in front of him wasfamous and powerful, and he'd even kiss his ass if he had to. As for thedisciples he had mentioned, he really didn't care who they were. Therewere tens of thousands of disciples in the Sun Sect, and it didn't matterif they lost one or two of them

So as soon as Jaime heard Dwayne's words, he decided that even if theperson his friend mentioned had done nothing wrong, he would still lethim do whatever he wanted to. As far as he was concerned, he didn'twant to anger Dwayne, even if it meant the sacrifice of one or two SunSect disciples.

Dwayne's face softened after he heard Jaime's reply.

"Huh, It's not that big of a deal. Is there an outer disciple named Austinin the Sun Sect?"

"Austin?"

Jaime was surprised when he heard the name. Of course there was anAustin!

"Yes, there is. But Austin is a principal disciple now."

"Oh! A principal disciple. No wonder!"

Dwayne gritted his teeth when he heard the news.

"Forgive me but I have to ask. Is Austin the one who has offended youor the Flaming Sun Valley?"

"Offend me?" Dwayne dropped all pretenses, "The brat killed mygrandson Raymond!"

Dwayne's eyes blazed with fury and his face twisted at the meremention of this.

Jaime gasped in astonishment at the news.

But he was also secretly happy to hear that.

“Haha! Good job, Austin! This time, you are definitely dead, and I don'thave to lift a finger to make that happen!" He thought merrily.

Jaime had always hated Austin, especially since the latter had become aprincipal disciple of the Sun Sect and won favor with the top leaders.Much as he had issues with Austin, he hadn't found a chance to dosomething that would give him his revenge.

But now, to his delightful surprise, Austin was the culprit who had killedthe grandson of the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley. This time, thebastard was doomed for sure.

"What? Austin was so bold that he dared to hurt your grandson!Dwayne, to be frank, Austin is a notorious bully in the Sun Sect, and heis showing no signs of stopping his campaign to do evil.

I am sure as hell going to report this to our Sect Leader and ask him toexpel this vicious maniac who slaughtered the innocent at will andtarnished the reputation of Sun Sect. Once he is out, he is at yourdisposal!"

Jaime tapped his chest and said.

Dwayne was pleased to hear him say so. He nodded in satisfaction athis friend's proposal and replied, "That's very good. Thank you Jaime,for your help.”

Jaime nodded his head and invited the company up to the mountainwhere the Sun Sect was situated.

In Peace Town, outside the Ganges Auction House, five murderous,brutal, and cruel men smelled blood and entered the Ganges AuctionHouse.

"Are you sure that Austin is inside the Ganges Auction House?"

One of them asked another in a low voice.

"Yes." The man replied. They were members of the Blood Wolf Team."We have several hidden spies lurking in the Ganges Auction Houseand they found Austin's name in the guest register. According to ourfriends, Austin is inside today!"

"Okay then. Let's get inside and replace out where he is. When the auctionis over, we will follow him.

Oh, almost forgot. We can also see if there is something in the auctionthat interests us.” The man grinned.

Ganges Auction House was the most famous, largest, and the onehaving the most widespread chain of auction houses in the entire VioletOrchid Empire. It had branches almost everywhere.

In fact, one could say that it was monopolizing the auction housebusiness in the whole empire.

"Sure. It's a good chance for us to look around and see what theGanges Auction House has to offer. What I am wondering is, Austin is amere nobody at the Energy Gathering Realm and we are five WolfGenerals. So why has our leader sent us to kill such a weakling? It's awaste of our talents doing such a petty job. Why did he make such afuss over this trifle? Anyone could have killed him.
