Xu Zihuang quietly crossed his slender fingers and rested his chin and looked at Yao Yang and Wang Yi with an inexplicable expression.

In the previous relationship with the two of them, he had never hidden his ambition from them, and it was normal for the two of them to see what he was thinking in his heart.

But it was exactly what he wanted.

His desire to seize the position of emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire was definitely not achieved overnight.

And all of this will inevitably start from the Southern Islands this month.

When Xu Zihuang looked at Yao Yang and Wang Yao, Wang Yao and Yao Yang did not pay attention to Xu Zihuang's reaction.

The eyes of the three met in the air, speechless, everything was said without words.

"Back then, Uncle Zhengxuan, you helped me inherit the family's thousand-year title, then I will help Zihuang get back everything he should have." He said subconsciously due to the firmness in his heart.

On the other hand, Wang Xiao looks much calmer, but his internal emotional fluctuations may not be smaller than Yao Yang's.

"Mm... After all, the young master still made that decision..."

If Xu Zihuang did not have twin martial souls, even if he possessed all the innate soul power, he would not let him take this difficult path.

He has been with Xu Zihuang's father for a long time, and he is very clear about the terrifying background of the Sun Moon Empire.

Oversight is a bottomless abyss.

As far as he knew, in the tens of thousands of years of Sun Moon Empire's history, twin martial souls had only appeared twice. One of them is Xu Zihuang, and the other is the current Temple Lord of the Sun Moon Empire.

And this palace master had already retired a few years ago, and he was breaking through the bottleneck from ninth-level soul engineer to tenth-level soul engineer.

As long as Xu Zihuang grows up, his achievements will never be inferior to the Hall of Enshrinement Lord.

At that level of strength, he is enough to subvert the rules of the world.

There are more and more bidders in the auction center, but there is still an hour to go before the auction officially starts.

The reason why these bidders came so soon was that the items in this auction were more valuable than ever.

Yao Yang personally poured a cup of Yuenan Islands fruit tea for Xu Zihuang and Wang Xiao. He seemed to think of something, and suddenly said to Xu Zihuang:

"By the way, Zihuang, I have something to tell you, I forged the identity of a younger brother left behind by my clan, back then, my clansman was Ding Xingsheng, so this identity was not conspicuous."

"It will be convenient for you to live on Yueshu Island in the future after the auction."

He also explained this to Zhu Yao before, after all, Xu Zihuang's status is special. Even if he and Zhu Yao have known each other since childhood, he still trusts her enough, but it's always nice to have one less person to meet.

"Big brother Yang, I will follow the arrangement," Xu Zihuang took a sip of the fruity tea in the crystal cup as he looked at the scroll on the table.

Detailed information about the auction items is recorded on the scroll.

There were ten batches in all, and the Thousand Year Evil Spirit Orca and Ten Thousand Year Whale Ointment were among them. However, the starting price of these two batches was over 300,000 gold soul coins, and they were only the eighth and ninth batches.

And the last item in the batch happened to be a soul bone, and it was also a head soul bone that was second only to the torso bones in preciousness.

"The nine thousand-year-old Great White Shark head soul bone? The Great White Shark?!" Xu Zihuang couldn't help but mutter softly, and he raised his head to look at Yao Yang in surprise.

"So, the seven thousand-year-old deep sea fish oil was also taken from the head of this demon great white shark? Could it be that someone hunted and killed a nine thousand-year-old demon great white shark?"

"That's true." Yao Yang nodded seriously and said excitedly: "Sometimes I have to admit that things like luck really do exist, but it's a pity that strength doesn't match luck, and it will only lead to disaster."

"The man who hunted and killed this 9,000-year-old great white demon spirit shark was a soul master of the Star Luo Empire."

"But when this man first discovered this spirit bone, he turned out to be the target of the Crocodile Pirates."

"Fleeing from everyone on the way to Yueshu City a few days ago, he had no choice but to auction off this soul's bone."

"The Crocodile Pirates are the most powerful pirate group in the Southern Moon Islands, and their leader's soul power has reached at least level seventy-eight."

"There are a total of seven islands in the Southern Moon Islands, two of which are under his control, for his talented grandson, the old Crocodile should personally come here."

Speaking of this, the smile on Yao Yang's face that was originally like a spring breeze instantly disappeared, and his eyes turned extremely cold.

"After my family was attacked by the evil soul masters, the family's control over the Yuenan Islands was greatly reduced."

"That old thing was the first to stand up and occupy the two southernmost islands, when the family split up, many people died at the hands of his subordinates."

Xu Zihuang sighed deeply, Yao Yang's childhood experience was very similar to his own.

However, Yao Yang quickly contained his emotions and continued to introduce Xu Zihuang to the other main forces of the Yuenan Islands.

First of all, he controls Yueshu Island himself, with five hundred Yueshu City Guards under his command.

The soul power of these five hundred people is above level 20, and with various soul guides, their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.

Other than that, there are the five pirate regiments headed by old Crocodile.

The Crocodile Pirates, the Silverfin Pirates, the Purple Snake Pirates, the Dolphin Pirates, and the Whale Shark Pirates.

The number of soul masters under the command of these five pirate regiments may not be comparable to the Yueshu City Guards, but each leader is a soul saint.

Except for the Crocodile Pirates, the other four pirates occupy one of the seven islands of the Southern Moon Islands.

In fact, even Yao Yang's father's generation had limited control over the Yuenan Islands, after all, the Yuenan Islands are far from the mainland of the Sun Moon Empire, and the surrounding waters are too dangerous.

Due to the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the three major empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, refugees fled here from time to time.

This doomed the Southern Moon Islands to chaos, and there were countless groups of pirates, large and small.

Speaking of which, ever since those large pirate groups took over the island as king, the Southern Islands have maintained a relatively balanced state and have become much more stable.

During the conversation between the two, an hour passed quickly.

The light in the auction center gradually dimmed, and under the illumination of several soul-guided crystal lamps on the ceremony stage, Zhu Yao in a purple dress gracefully appeared on the stage.

Holding the amplified soul guide, she looked at the upper VIP room where Xu Zihuang and others with her beautiful eyes were, and then began to prepare to set up the auction with a smile.

At this time, there was still about a quarter of an hour to go before the official start of the auction, and various figures appeared one after another in the other five VIP rooms.

Yao Yang walked over to the floor-to-ceiling amethyst window and said solemnly to Wang Yao, "Except for the Silverfin Pirates, the leaders of the other four pirate groups are here."

"Uncle Wang, to avoid any trouble, I'll have to pester you to help me keep an eye on that old thing this time."

"His cultivation seems to be very close to level 80," Wang Yi frowned and looked at the one-eyed white-haired burly old man in the opposite VIP room, and said feelingly.

But it's not enough to make them afraid, with his eighty-ninth-level spiritual power and the superior martial spirit of the Cloud Tiger, he can easily kill him.

Yao Yang frowned, not particularly surprised by this result.

Even so, so what, as long as he is given time, sooner or later his cultivation will surpass that old man, and he will use his head to pay homage to his clansmen.

But Xu Zihuang's attention was drawn to the young man next to the old Crocodile.

The boy looked to be about fourteen or five years old, his skin was dark and wheat-colored, but his hair was half white and half red, which looked extremely weird.

"Arrogant people, right?" Xu Zihuang secretly complained in his heart, not to mention the hatred between them and Yao Yang, only the young man's scornful eyes made him slightly disgusted.

The leader of the Whale Shark Pirates is a stout and serious man of middle age with blue patterns embroidered on the upper part of his bare body.

The leader of the Purple Serpent Pirates turned out to be a coquettish woman with purple hair, whose movements were so shocking.

As for the appearance of the leader of the Porcupine Pirates, he looked much poorer, he was thin and only around 1.6 meters tall, with sparse and messy red hair, and his old face was full of wrinkles.

As for the two members of the Silverfin Pirates, they were the two blue-haired girls they had seen earlier.

The older one, named Shui Jixi, is the younger sister of the leader of the Silver Fin Pirates, and the younger one is named Shui Qianqian, the only daughter of the leader of the Silver Fin Pirates.
