Chapter 71: My Rules Are the Rules

The entire audience fell into absolute silence.

The pupils of everyone present contracted to the size of pinpricks.

A turbulent storm surged within their hearts.

No one had expected that just as the Blood Arrow Hall elites were being completely slaughtered, people from the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce would descend the mountain in person.

It seemed that the moment the Blood Arrow Hall and the Raging Wind Hall made their move, the people of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce were already aware of it.

It was just that they chose not to intervene back then.

This was at the foot of the mountain, not inside the auction house.

It did not matter if two pugilistic sects made a fuss.

However, taking lives was an entirely different matter.

Everyone who came to attend the auction had been invited by the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce.

They could be considered guests of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce.

If a guest were to die right at their doorstep, what dignity would the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce have left?

Pang Cheng had not wanted to kill Xu Chao simply because he knew the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce would step in if he did.

Therefore, he had measured his boundaries very well.

Otherwise, given how cruel and vicious Pang Cheng was, he would have tortured Xu Chao to death long ago.

Who could have imagined that Pang Cheng's arrogance would provoke Li Moxuan.

Li Moxuan did not care about any of those damned rules.

He had killed a man right in front of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone present looked at Li Moxuan and shook their heads silently.

Although Li Moxuan's strength shocked them, allowing him to easily obliterate experts like Pang Cheng and Pang Yong in a flash, facing a behemoth like the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, he still could not escape a doomed fate.

The Tianhe Chamber of Commerce kept a very low profile, and no one knew the true extent of their power.

However, one thing was certain: every branch must have a Grand Master realm expert presiding over it.

Otherwise, they would not be qualified to hold such a position!

After recovering from his initial shock, Lin Mofei was overwhelmed with wild joy.

What a brainless idiot. Having just a tiny bit of skill made him arrogant beyond bounds.

Daring to kill someone right in front of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce? He was courting death!

Gu Lang slowly shook his head.

"Sigh... This Li Moxuan does have some capability, but... he is far too stupid!"

Gu Yaqing pouted in dissatisfaction and whispered in secret rebellion.

"What if Li Moxuan's strength goes even beyond this?"

Gu Lang, however, let out a hearty laugh.

"Little sister, you understand very little about the martial path. No one is a match for the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, not even our Gu family!"

A trace of worry inevitably welled up in Gu Yaqing's heart.

In the blink of an eye, the steward dressed in a white robe landed right in front of Li Moxuan.

This was a middle-aged man with an imposing aura and a fierce gaze.

His strength was at the early stage of the Master realm. Although not a top-tier powerhouse, he radiated an exceptionally terrifying pressure.

Li Ding looked at the pile of minced flesh before him, his lungs practically bursting with fury.

For countless years, no one had dared to break the rules in front of his Tianhe Chamber of Commerce.

The last person who broke the rules had long since rotted into bones.

And that person had even been a peak Master realm powerhouse.

Yet, he had been wiped out all the same.

He never expected another one to appear today.

Li Ding said coldly, "Are you aware of the rules of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce?"

"How terribly bold of you!"

"Will you release that man this instant?"

"Release him?"

Crack!

Li Moxuan snapped Pang Hao's neck and casually tossed the corpse aside.

"What rules? Why have I never heard of them?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone present felt their scalps tingle.

Their heads buzzed intensely.

Were they hallucinating?

The people from the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce had arrived, yet he killed someone right in front of them.

And he was still being this arrogant?

Had he lost his mind?

Buzz...

Bei Hong felt the world go dark before his eyes, spinning helplessly.

He knew Li Moxuan's style of conduct—extremely ruthless and decisive, treating human life as nothing. But even so, he never imagined that Li Moxuan would dare to challenge the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce head-on.

Hadn't they agreed on keeping a low profile?

Was this what they called keeping a low profile?

What should he do now?

It was over, completely over!

Bei Hong's entire body went numb, unable to move even a fraction of an inch.

"Good, good, good... It has been a long time since I've seen someone so arrogant!"

Li Ding was so angered by Li Moxuan that he laughed out in rage.

Li Moxuan leisurely dusted his fingernails.

"Your perspective is rather shallow!"

Bei Hong shuffled over tremblingly, hurriedly trying to smooth things over.

"Steward Li, let's talk this out. As you can see, the Blood Arrow Hall initiated the attack; we were merely acting in self-defense!"

Li Ding was in an extremely foul mood, his face turning iron as he spat out a single word!

"Scram!"

Even so, Bei Hong did not dare to fly into a rage.

He could only grit his teeth and forcefully swallow his fury.

He scurried to Li Moxuan's side and advised him in a low voice, "Master, I know your methods reach the heavens, but this Tianhe Chamber of Commerce is truly someone we cannot afford to provoke!"

Li Moxuan, however, shook his head slightly.

"You are wrong!"

"It is they who cannot afford to provoke me, not the other way around!"

"I don't care about any Tianhe Chamber of Commerce or whatever nonsense it is. In front of me, they are nothing more than a heap of garbage, no different from anything else!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire scene exploded!

"Oh..."

An uproar swept through the crowd.

Bei Hong was so frightened by Li Moxuan's words that he was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, Li Ding's expression turned hideously grim, towering, monstrous killing intent surging over his entire body.

Li Moxuan, however, seemed determined to deliver earth-shattering remarks.

"Enough, I don't care what rules your Tianhe Chamber of Commerce has. In my presence, you must abide by my rules!"

"If you are unaware of them, I can give you a lesson!"

"You..."

Li Ding flew into an immediate rage, preparing to strike down Li Moxuan on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Li Moxuan's figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Li Ding.

With a single movement, he clamped a firm grip around Li Ding's neck.

His speed was terrifyingly fast.

Li Ding finally understood why the people from the Blood Arrow Hall had stood frozen without resisting.

It was because Li Moxuan's speed was simply too fast for anyone to react in time.

With just a blur before his eyes, he was already hoisted into the air by Li Moxuan.

Li Ding's face flushed crimson as he struggled to issue a threat, "Do you know who I am? How dare you make a move against me..."

Li Ding even wondered if he was hallucinating—did someone actually dare to attack a member of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce?

Li Moxuan sneered.

"My rules are the rules!"

"Whatever rules you usually have, I care nothing about them. The moment I appear, everything must be done according to my rules!"

Crack...

Right in front of everyone, Li Moxuan crushed Li Ding's neck.

Thud...

Like a dead dog, Li Ding was casually discarded by Li Moxuan.

A look of shock still lingered in his eyes; clearly, he still could not accept this cruel reality.
