Open up and break into another world

Hundreds of figures, all radiating murderous intent!

Among them were many powerhouses at the seventh and eighth level of the Desolate Realm!

Even Xu Ming, facing such a formation, would surely lose unless he activated the "Infinite Clone" cheat and conjured hundreds or thousands of clones beforehand.

However…

Xu Ming didn't need to confront them head-on! He just needed to stall for a moment to activate the "Coordinate Teleportation" cheat.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Xu Ming's remaining eight clone spheres all rushed in different directions, then simultaneously self-destructed, using the power of their self-destruction to create a barrier for his true body.

"Quickly seal the exit of the formation! Don't let him slip out!" Elder Yueyao shouted repeatedly. "As long as we guard the exit, he won't be able to escape! He dares to act so presumptuously in our Contract Alliance auction house… It seems… it's been too long since the Contract Alliance has taken action, and many people have forgotten our ruthlessness!"

In Elder Yueyao's view, as long as they blocked the gap blasted open in the formation, they would be foolproof!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

However, when the powerhouses charged in, they were immediately dumbfounded.

At this moment, Room Seventeen was already empty; Xu Ming was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?"

"How did he disappear?"

"The auction house's formation only has this one gap behind me, he couldn't have escaped from anywhere else!" Elder Yueyao was completely bewildered.

"Elder Yueyao, there's a note here!" said the black-clad powerhouse who had rushed into Room Seventeen first.

"A note?" Elder Yueyao frowned. "What does it say?"

"It says four words: Tit for tat!"

"Tit for tat? What does that mean?" Elder Yueyao was puzzled.

Inside the auction house, the various magnates were happy to watch the Contract Alliance make a fool of themselves.

After all, the Contract Alliance relied on its large numbers and acted somewhat tyrannically within the Ancient Remnant Realm. Now that they saw the Contract Alliance auction house suffer a loss, many people were naturally happy to see it.

…

"That person in Room Seventeen…" Bai Murong was in shock for a long time, unable to recover.

Bai Murong had always focused most of his energy on business; with his vision and talent in business, he had indeed earned a lot of wealth. But now, Bai Murong suddenly realized… In the face of sufficient strength, wealth was so fragile!

Just like now, Xu Ming had robbed most of the treasures from the auction and left triumphantly; and the Contract Alliance didn't even know where Xu Ming had gone!

"If the Ancient Remnant Realm's number one powerhouse, 'Wujun,' were to attack my Ta Gu Chamber of Commerce, what use would my Ta Gu Chamber of Commerce's wealth be? I could only offer it up!"

Bai Murong suddenly woke up: "Wealth, no matter how much, is ultimately external! For so many years, I have been taking a wrong path… All external things are illusory; only real strength is true!"

A determined light flashed in Bai Murong's eyes.

He had already decided that after returning, he would put aside all trivial matters and convert all wealth and external things into his own strength!

"If one day, my strength is strong enough, can I also rob the Contract Alliance auction house?" Bai Murong couldn't help but think.

Just thinking about it made him a little excited!

"There are some low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals in each of these two World Rings!" At this time, Bai Murong took out two World Rings and handed them to the two beautiful female cultivators beside him.

"This is…?" Both beautiful female cultivators were puzzled.

"After leaving the auction house, you two don't need to follow me anymore!" Bai Murong said indifferently. "From now on, don't come looking for me again!"

…

Like Bai Murong, Lin Xu, the disciple of Grandmaster Yujian, also suddenly woke up!

"Even if I follow my master and learn the art of appraisal better and better, what can I do? Like that person in Room Seventeen, he doesn't need to appraise at all; he doesn't care whether this treasure is precious or not, he just robs it directly…"

Lin Xu suddenly realized that "appraising treasures" seemed far inferior to "robbing treasures"!

Suddenly, Lin Xu gritted his teeth and made an important decision: "Master, I don't want to study under you anymore…"

"What did you say!?" Grandmaster Yujian's beard bristled when he heard this—he had always felt that Lin Xu was very talented, so he wanted to cultivate him well and inherit his mantle; for this reason, he had specially brought Lin Xu to the auction to see the world!

He didn't expect that after seeing the world, Lin Xu would actually kick him, his master, away…

How could Grandmaster Yujian not be angry?

Although Lin Xu was a little scared, his gaze did not flicker, but instead stared directly at Grandmaster Yujian and said, "Master, I think the way of appraisal is only a small path!"

"A small path?" Grandmaster Yujian laughed in anger. "Good! Good! Good! My good disciple, you have really grown up—then tell me, what is the Great Path?"

Lin Xu's eyes were fiery as he said, "Robbing treasures!"

"Pfft!" Grandmaster Yujian almost spat blood.

Lin Xu continued, "When strength is strong enough, why appraise treasures? No matter what treasure it is, as long as you are interested, just rob it!"

"You…" Grandmaster Yujian wanted to argue, but found that arguing was very weak.

…

It took the magnates of the Contract Alliance a long time to restore order in the auction house.

Naturally, there were experts in the auction house who were affected by the aftermath of Xu Ming's actions and suffered some minor injuries. Because it happened in their own auction house, the Contract Alliance had to compensate these injured experts.

Even… some experts, who were clearly not injured, secretly gave themselves a punch, created some minor injuries, and went to claim compensation.

With great difficulty, the Contract Alliance auction house finally sent everyone away.

"Who exactly is that Xu Ming, and why is he provoking my Contract Alliance? Investigate!—Looking at the four words on the note, 'Tit for tat,' it seems that he has some grudges with our Contract Alliance!" Elder Yueyao was full of baleful aura.

Such a big thing happened at the auction house, and Elder Yueyao, as the manager, was naturally to blame.

"Also… immediately report to the main alliance! I suggest a reward of one hundred million low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals for Xu Ming throughout the Ancient Remnant Realm!" Elder Yueyao said through gritted teeth.

…

At this time, Xu Ming naturally didn't know what was happening in the Contract Alliance! He had already activated the "Coordinate Teleportation" cheat and teleported to the coordinate point he had deliberately left near the Ancient Post Alliance; and he had taken the Chaos Teleportation Formation, left the Ta Gu Divine City, and headed to the Ancient God Palace.
