...…
A few seconds later, on Azmodeus and Yang Hua's way out of the Auction House, they were abruptly interrupted by an old man with a wizened disposition.
"Do you need something?" Azmodeus inquired with a raised brow, his neutral gaze focused on the slightly corpulent man wearing a monocle.
"Y-Yes, Sir Azmodeus. I am known as Fu Pang and am also the owner of this humble establishment!"
"And what do you want from me?"
"I wish to know if you plan to sell any of the items that you have acquired while completing various high-ranked Elder-Class missions for the Yellowcreek Sect," Fu Pang responded with a nervous countenance.
"..."
Azmodeus observed the earnest look on this businessman's face as he figured that he wouldn't be scammed due to the status that came along with his identity and talent. With this in mind, he replied, "I can sell what I have obtained, but you must give me fair prices. If not, then I might just…"
"T-There's no need for any of that, Young Master Azmodeus, as I will give you nothing but the fairest of prices!"
The auction house owner responded as fast as he could! It horrified him just thinking about the next part of the young boy's sentence coming to pass…
"That is good, Mr. Pang." Azmodeus spoke with a friendly tone as he passed by the bewildered figure of Fu Pang.
"I will send all of the items that neither I nor Yang Hua have use for some time later tonight. Until then, I hope that you won't disclose what I have told you here. You can do that, can you not, Mr. Pang…?"
"Y-Yes of course I can, Sir Azmodeus! You have my word that not a single peep will leave my mouth! Thank you very much for this opportunity!"
The Auction Owner bowed at an almost reverent angle. His anxiousness was apparent in his chubby features.
"I hope for a healthy business relationship, Mr. Pang."
Azmodeus's calm words resounded in the reception area of the Auction House before his figure disappeared along with Yang Hua's.
However, before he fully vanished from sight, he said one more thing:
"Oh, and make sure to go to all the people who assumed they had offended me today. They will be offering various valuables as compensation for offending me. Take those valuables and put them on auction in my name."
"Y-Yes, I will make sure to do that right away! Thank you for your guidance, Sir Azmodeus!" Fu Pang responded with a differential voice as he bowed once more before no longer feeling the presence of 'The Anomaly'.
And without anyone knowing the better, one of the strongest masters of Yellowcreek City was subdued and thrown underneath the heel of a child not even a tenth of his age.
That was just the power that the monstrous genius held with his various accolades…
That and his naturally overwhelming and imperious personality.
Concerning his personality, it was something that had been constantly altered because of all the Traits he had active at all times.
On that note, it seemed like his Traits had once again shown one of their various applicable uses…
Meanwhile, a few miles away from the Yellowcreek Auction House, a young boy and girl traveled through Yellowcreek City. They made their way toward the wide assortment of buildings that stood atop a number of various mountain peaks.
"No matter how many times I see the Yellow Mellow Sect, I never tire of the beautiful sight before us…" Yang Hua softly murmured while interlinking arms with a black-haired boy who was quite a bit taller than her.
Azmodeus looked down at the adorable girl beside him before staring at the Yellow Mellow Sect and then back at her again.
After doing that a few times, he eventually said, "I guess it's alright, but I think you are far more pleasing to the eyes than a few mountains and rivers."
Following those nonchalant words, he escaped the grasp of Yang Hua and took slow steps under the giant red gates of the Yellow Mellow Sect.
In his previous place, he left a young, pretty girl with a deep red blush on her face, dying her complexion crimson.
She bit her lips a little with her silky black hair covering her face as she mumbled, "Shtupid…"
A creepy smile nearly formed on her expression before it quickly disappeared.
"!!!"
Upon realizing how far away Azmodeus had gotten from her, she took herself out of her reverie.
Yang Hua ultimately caught up to the stoic figure of his as she snuggled into his right arm with an even lovelier smile adorning those divine features of hers.
"???" Azmodeus had no clue why she seemed oddly happier than before.
He thought it over for a moment before lightly shrugging his shoulders and continuing his walk through the Yang Sect.
...
A few minutes passed as the two rising stars of the Yellow Mellow Sect made their way to an extremely tall mountain called Plum Blossom Peak.
It was also the mountain on which Peak Leader Xing Yi and all her disciples resided.
In the Yellow Mellow Sect, there was the typical sect disciple ranking system. Namely, Trial Disciples, Entry Disciples, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Core Disciples, and Direct Disciples.
There were also Heir Disciples like what Azmodeus was in the Yang Sect. However, Sect disciples of that level were few and far between in the higher ranking Yellow Mellow Sect.
Despite this, all of these disciples, no matter if they were Trial Disciples or Heir Disciples, would choose a mountain peak to live on as soon as they entered the sect.
There were a total of thirty-nine Peak Mountains that made up the Yellow Mellow Sect. And on each of these mountains, there were tens of thousands of disciples ranging from the Viscera Training Small Success Stage to the Peak Stages of the Qi Condensation Realm.
The mountains themselves were tens of thousands of meters in diameter, leaving enough room for every disciple to live comfortably in their own part of Plum Blossom Peak and the other peaks.
Furthermore, on these mountain peaks, there were hundreds of Outer Deacons, Inner Deacons, Outer Elders, Inner Elders, and various other authoritative figures that watched over their own groups of sect disciples.
And then there was, of course, the Peak Leader—which in the case of Plum Blossom Peak—was the lovely Miss Xing Yi.
She was someone known as the youngest Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator in the Yellow Mellow Sect!
Being only 45 years old, she was able to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm. And over the last few years, she has already started to near the Middle Foundation Establishment Realm, making her a supreme genius in her own rights!
If not for the existence of You Mie, the daughter of the Sect Leader, and Lan Yue, the daughter of the Grand Elder, then Xing Yi would've been the most talented girl to ever be born in the Yellow Mellow Sect.
In the case of You Mie and Lan Yue, they were both in the Early and Middle Stages of the Qi Condensation Realm while being only fifteen and seventeen years old.
With accomplishments like that, it was no wonder that both of them were known as the two goddesses of the Yellow Mellow Sect.
A number that was just increased to three with the appearance of Yang Hua…
In spite of all this, Azmodeus and the third goddess in question made their way up the wide and steep slopes of Plum Blossom Peak.
They saw many plum blossom trees and colorful bushes on their way up; there were even a few exotic bird species that looped over every stretch of the vibrant mountain.
However, they weren't there to admire the scenery, as they planned to meet someone extremely high in status...
