God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 109: Secret Entry: Danger Arrives

The ancient castle returned to peace. Moonlight poured onto the ground through the broken windows, illuminating an ancient stone tablet in the corner of the wall, on which were engraved some strange symbols... Chu Feng and Pan Yue came to the entrance of the Shadow Auction. The air was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood, mixed with some indescribable fishy-sweet taste that made people feel slightly nauseous.

There was silence all around, and it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were lurking in the darkness, watching their every move.

Pan Yue rubbed his hands nervously and whispered, "Chu Feng, the atmosphere here... is a little off."

Chu Feng nodded slightly, he also felt this depressing atmosphere.

At the entrance, two guards in black suits stood like statues, their eyes cold and lifeless.

At this moment, a cold hand rested on Chu Feng's shoulder.

Chu Feng turned around suddenly and saw a burly man with a sinister face standing behind him with a sneer on his face.

The man exudes a strong sense of oppression, and it is obvious that he is not an ordinary character.

"Are you Chu Feng?" The man's tone was cold and there was a hint of scrutiny.

Chu Feng's heart trembled. This person was one of the forces behind the auction, the leader of the Sun Dark Force. He forced himself to remain calm and nodded, "It's me."

The dark leader Sun looked Chu Feng up and down, his eyes full of suspicion: "I heard that you have been very popular recently. Even the mage Qin Xieling died at your hands. It's true that heroes emerge from young people." Although there was admiration in his tone, the sarcasm in it was obvious.

A flattering voice sounded nearby: "Boss Sun, this guy is just an apprentice night watchman. He's just lucky. How can he compare with you?" The speaker was a thin man next to the leader of the dark forces, Sun, with a fawning look on his face.

The leader of the Sun Dark Force snorted coldly and continued to stare at Chu Feng: "I heard that you want to participate in this auction?"

"That's right." Chu Feng spoke calmly, trying not to reveal any flaws.

"Very good." The dark leader Sun sneered, "I hope you have enough money, otherwise..." He did not continue, but the threat was self-evident.

He reached out and groped Chu Feng's body, seemingly checking, but actually with a hint of humiliation.

"go in."

Chu Feng and Pan Yue walked into the auction venue. A woman with revealing clothes and a charming figure walked over with a twist of her waist. She glanced at Chu Feng with a charming look, then whispered a few words into the ear of the leader of Sun's dark forces.

The dark leader Sun's expression changed slightly, "Keep an eye on him."

Chu Feng calmly allowed the leader of Sun's dark forces to search his body, his eyes as calm as water.

The dark leader Sun searched his body and found nothing unusual, so his expression eased slightly.

"What did you bring?"

"Some life-saving things, and funds for bidding." Chu Feng said in a calm tone, and calmly took out a black card from his pocket. There were golden patterns printed on it, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

"This is a membership card of the Shadow Auction House. It should be enough to prove my identity."

The leader of the dark forces, Sun, took the card, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he snorted coldly and returned it to Chu Feng.

"You're a smart kid." Seeing that the leader of the Sun Dark Force no longer seemed to doubt Chu Feng, the thin man beside him quickly smiled and said, "Boss Sun is indeed very discerning. He saw through this kid's true intentions at a glance."

"Hmph, don't think you can get away with it like this." The leader of the dark forces, Sun, glanced at Chu Feng, with a hint of warning in his tone.

"Once you're in there, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to do anything, I guarantee you'll regret coming to this world."

Chu Feng smiled slightly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Don't worry, Boss Sun, I'm just here to attend the auction today and I won't cause any trouble."

The leader of the dark forces, Sun, looked at Chu Feng deeply and waved his hand, indicating that he could go in.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue exchanged glances and were about to step into the auction venue when a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost, blocking their way.

The man was dressed in black and wore a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. It was Zhou Shadow Assassin.

"Wait," Shadow Assassin Zhou's voice was hoarse and low, like a whisper from hell, "A more in-depth examination is required." His cold gaze swept over Chu Feng, and his tone carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, "Please cooperate."

Chu Feng's heart sank. He knew that the real test had just begun.

He took a deep breath, met Zhou Shadow Assassin's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "How do you want to check?" Zhou Shadow Assassin pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist and waved it in front of Chu Feng's eyes.

"Just routine." The sharp edge of the dagger pressed against Chu Feng's chest.

The cold light of the dagger reflected in Chu Feng's eyes. There was no trace of fear, only coldness like ice.

The air seemed to freeze, and the surrounding noise was infinitely magnified at this moment, and seemed to disappear completely.

Shadow Assassin Zhou's gaze was like a poisonous snake, wandering over Chu Feng's body, trying to find any flaw.

The dagger in his hand slowly moved down and lightly scratched Chu Feng's clothes, the sharp tip of the blade almost touching his skin.

"What is this?" Shadow Assassin Zhou suddenly stopped, and the tip of the dagger pointed at an inconspicuous button on Chu Feng's chest.

Chu Feng's heart trembled, but he remained calm on the surface. "Just an ordinary button." He spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather.

Shadow Assassin Zhou did not say anything, but just gently picked up the button with his dagger and looked at it carefully.

The buttons do look ordinary, nothing special about them.

He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

As time passed, the air around became more and more oppressive.

Finally, Shadow Assassin Zhou retracted the dagger, his tone still cold.

"go in."

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief calmly and walked into the auction venue with Pan Yue.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye - Lin Xiao.

She was dressed in red, like a rose blooming in the night, flashing through the crowd.

Chu Feng's heart moved. Why did Lin Xiao appear here?

What's her purpose?

As you enter the auction venue, you are greeted by an air of luxury.

The huge crystal chandelier emits brilliant light, illuminating the entire hall.

The hall was packed with people of all kinds hiding in the dark corners, their identities and purposes shrouded in mystery.

Various rare treasures were displayed on the exhibition stand, emitting an alluring glow.

Chu Feng looked around and thought to himself: Where is the information hidden?

Pan Yue gently touched Chu Feng's arm and whispered, "Be careful, the atmosphere here is not right."

Chu Feng nodded and his eyes fell on the auction table.

Auctioneer Zhao, a short, fat man with greasy hair and powdered face, was standing on the stage, introducing the auction items in his hand in an exaggerated tone.

"This is a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron. It's said that it can be forged into a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud..."

Chu Feng's attention was not on the auction items. His eyes swept over the crowd below the stage, trying to find any clues.

Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze falling on him.

He turned his head sharply and looked towards the source of his sight... A figure wearing a black cloak, hidden in the shadows, was staring at him intently.

The figure slowly raised his hand, revealing pale fingers, and pointed at Chu Feng...
