Ten thousand people cried inside the tall red wall of light in the middle of Dragonfall City. The hot red air pulled the strength right out of their bodies and made the little children fall to the stones.

On top of the high platform, Elder Silas stood with a wide smile on his face. Three hundred priests in black coats chanted around four big red pillars to feed the trap.

"Keep chanting and push the fire harder!" Elder Silas shouted to his men. "Grand Patriarch Vincent is waiting underground for

    Thick purple fog rolled through the narrow canyon, hiding the broken carriage in shadow. Elder Raymond sneered as he gathered all his Core-Formation power into his right hand, eager to turn the carriage into dust."Beggar, you should have stayed in the mud where you belong!" Elder Raymond roared, lunging forward with a palm strike wrapped in crackling purple lightning. "Nobody can save you from my hand tonight!"Before the old man’s strike could touch the carriage door, a hand wrapped in golden fire shot out of the mist. Five iron fingers clamped around Elder Raymond’s wrist, stopping the deadly blow in mid-air with effortless ease.Elder Raymond’s eyes opened wide in sheer terror as his feet left the ground. Through the swirling grey smoke, a pair of burning golden eyes stared back at him through a cold, roaring black-iron dragon mask."You... you are the Phantom Dragon!" Elder Raymond choked out, his spiritual aura shattering like glass under the crushing grip. "How are you here?! Y

    Elder Corin delivered the golden frost-iron chest holding the Millennial Sun-Marrow Lotus directly to Sky Box Number One with his own trembling hands. Beside the glowing lotus lay a second carved sandalwood box containing the rare Moonlight Jade Necklace, glowing with cool, celestial light.Leo picked up the glowing necklace with steady fingers, turning his eyes toward Lady Seraphina as she stood beside the jade railing. The pale white stone sparkled against the dim lantern light, pulsing with pure, calming spirit energy."This necklace carries a calming ward that protects against mental curses," Leo said softly, his voice warm and gentle. "You stood by my family today without fear, Seraphina. Let this stone guard your heart."Seraphina’s breath caught in her throat as a bright blush rose along her soft cheeks, her violet eyes shining with deep wonder. She tilted her head forward, allowing Leo to reach around her hair and fasten the silver clasp around her slender neck.Down in the cr

    Elder Corin remained on his knees, his forehead pressed against the cold marble steps until the golden dragon light faded into the dark sky. When he finally rose, his hands trembled as he held his carved scholar staff, his eyes filled with awe."Supreme Master, please forgive this old servant for failing to recognize your arrival," Elder Corin said in a hushed, respectful voice. "The Sacred Sky Auction House is deeply honored by your presence. Please, allow me to guide you inside."Victoria stumbled forward, her white silk dress dragging through the dirt as she reached out to snatch Elder Corin’s sleeve. "Elder Corin, you have been tricked! This boy is only Leo Sterling, a filthy beggar who slept in the mud outside my sect's gates for ten years!"Elder Corin pulled his arm away with sudden force, his face turning hard with cold fury. "Hold your insolent tongue, girl! Do you dare question the ancient sovereign dragon seal with your blind, foolish eyes?!"Garrett hurried up the stone st

    Hundreds of glowing crystal lanterns hung from the grand stone arches of the Sacred Sky Auction House, casting warm light across the wide marble steps. A thick crimson carpet ran all the way from the paved carriage road up to the towering bronze doors.Victoria stood beneath the gilded entrance canopy, wrapped in a pure white frost-silk gown trimmed with silver fox fur. A golden hair comb held her dark hair high, and she held a delicate cup of sweet nectar in her uninjured hand.Dozens of young noble masters and wealthy merchant daughters gathered around her, laughing politely and praising her beauty. Victoria smiled with sweet, gentle grace, basking in their admiring gazes like a queen receiving tribute from her subjects."You are far too kind, Lady Victoria," a young lord from the Ironwood Clan said with an admiring bow. "We all heard how that wicked beggar from the slums tried to slander your noble sect at the apothecary this morning."Victoria lowered her eyes, letting out a soft,

    Cold rain fell over Dragonfall City, washing the cobblestone roads with grey water as the Vance family carriage rolled through the mist. Inside the warm cabin, Lady Seraphina adjusted the wool blanket around her knees, glancing at Leo with gentle worry in her eyes."The auction hall opens in half an hour, Master Sterling," Seraphina said softly, her fingers smoothing her silk skirts. "My grandfather sent five hundred guards ahead to secure our private room, so no one will dare disturb your bidding."Clara sat beside Leo, checking the silver needles hidden inside her leather sleeve. "My lord, Victoria and Garrett were thoroughly humiliated at the estate gates, and people like them will never swallow their pride quietly."Before Leo could answer, the carriage horses whinnied in terror, and the wooden wheels slid across the wet stones to an abrupt halt. The coachman cried out in alarm as heavy iron chains clattered against the street outside, blocking the road completely.Leo parted the

    Jason lowered his barbed whip, turning toward the broken gate with a wide, greasy smile spreading across his face. He puffed out his chest in his yellow silk robes, truly believing Lady Seraphina had brought fifty heavy knights just to back him up."You arrived at the perfect time, Lady Seraphina!" Jason called out loudly, pointing his whip toward Leo and blind Arthur. "This filthy beggar broke into the manor, and these two old dogs are dirtying the silk beds meant for Lady Victoria!"Beside him, Lady Gemma touched her gold hairpins with a smug smirk, looking down her sharp nose at Leo. "Arrest this peasant right now, Lady Seraphina! Drag his crippled sister out into the dirt so Lady Victoria can move in before sunset!"Lady Seraphina Vance did not utter a single word in reply as she walked past the broken iron gates. Her violet silk gown fluttered in the mountain wind, and her beautiful face was colder than a frozen winter blade.The fifty heavy knights in polished steel armor marche
