Chapter 1169 Fitch

A circular castle was located in the mountain range, and it was the third-largest castle of the Wind-
Mountain Alliance. This was where the auction would be held.

The auction had just begun when Ricky and his companions arrived.

Naturally, Ricky attracted almost everyone's attention because of his eye-catching white hair. And he
was also quite infamous for killing Redmond and the Yellow Water Emperor.

Since Ricky killed the two of them within a very short time, rumor had it that he was a genius who could
challenge someone whose level was higher than him at the Emperor Level.

"It seems that the white-haired young man is the person who killed Redmond. It's amazing that he
hasn't been captured by the spiritual emperors of the Flame Valley after so many days. Obviously, he is
not easy to deal with," some warriors whispered to each other.

"But he has finally come to the Wind-Mountain Alliance, which is the only force in this area that can
rival the Flame Valley's strength. They are the only ones who are not afraid to face the Flame Valley!"

"Look, here comes Fitch. His master is Redmond's father, and he has been looking for the white-haired
young man recently. Those two are bound to meet, and I bet there will be a good show soon."

"Well, this is the territory of the Wind-Mountain Alliance, so I don't think Fitch will take action. Besides,
at the beginning of the auction, the Wind-Mountain Alliance has clearly announced that no force is
allowed to stir up trouble in the territory of the Wind-Mountain Alliance during this auction, or it will be
regarded as a challenge to the Wind-Mountain Alliance."

"Then it depends on who they were referring to. The white-haired young man and his companions all
belong to the human race, so the Flame Valley holds more importance in our endless mountain than
them."



Meanwhile, Fitch sauntered towards Ricky, followed by his subordinates.

He raised a sharp eyebrow at Ricky and asked, "Are you the one who killed Redmond? That's very
bold of you. Do you know who you are dealing with?"

"He asked for it, so I merely granted his wish," Ricky replied indifferently.

Fitch was enraged, not just from Ricky's words but also from the way he was acting as if he was
looking down on him and the Flaming Valley.

He didn't know where Ricky's arrogance was coming from, seeing that Ricky was a mere human being.

Boom!

A sneer broke out on Fitch's face, as his power swelled and rolled toward Ricky and his companions. It
was the power of a two-star lower spiritual emperor, and from its intensity, everyone knew that he had
been a two-star lower spiritual emperor for a long time. This power was much stronger compared to
that of a spiritual emperor who had recently broken through.

Judging from the power Fitch released, Ricky could tell that he was certainly a powerful opponent.

"Humph!" Ricky let out a cold snort and bounced back the power that Fitch had just released.

Boom! Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, their bodies were surrounded by violent infernal power. They
clenched their fists and exchanged punches, putting all their power behind their attacks. And as the
waves of air swept in all directions, both of them retreated heavily. It seemed that they were well-
matched in strength.

"Is it true that this white-haired young man is a genius who can challenge someone stronger than him
at the Emperor Level?" The warriors around them could not believe their eyes. The confrontation
between Ricky and Fitch happened so quickly that they had trouble following with their eyes.



"I think he must have concealed his real realm. If there is a genius who can challenge those stronger
than him at the Emperor Level, he should be a talent who comes from the top forces and biggest clans
of the Middle Land."

Fitch became even more infuriated when Ricky matched his moves very well.

It didn't matter to him whether Ricky could challenge someone stronger than him, or if he was
concealing his real strength. In other people's eyes, there was a one-star lower spiritual emperor who
was well-matched with him in strength. And that made him very unhappy.

In his anger, Fitch prepared to make another move.

"Fitch, isn't it inappropriate to blatantly fight with others in the territory of our Wind-Mountain Alliance?"
Edie's soft voice suddenly chimed in, stopping Fitch from attacking Ricky.

Although Fitch desperately wanted to kill Ricky immediately, he wasn't crazy enough to continue this
fight. He dared not provoke the anger of the Wind-Mountain Alliance by fighting in their territory when
they explicitly stated that it would not be tolerated.

Moreover, he knew certain things about Edie, who was certainly not a simple steward.

After all, the famous Thousand-hand Emperor, an upper spiritual emperor, would not simply follow and
protect a mere steward.

The Thousand-hand Emperor was a white-haired old man. He seemed amicable at first glance, but
those who had seen or heard him fight knew that he was not as friendly as he looked.

Once the battle started, the Thousand-hand Emperor transformed into someone who would be better
referred to as the slaughterer.



"Here comes the Thousand-hand Emperor! The Wind-Mountain Alliance seems to have attached great
importance to this auction. I reckon there will be more demi-saints coming here in secret," some
warriors speculated.

"I agree. Just think about the last items of this auction! They must be precious!"

"But I am really curious about Edie's position in the Wind Mountain Alliance..."

"He must be an important person, as he is a genius. It is said that many elder spiritual emperors of the
Wind-Mountain Alliance respect him very much.

Even the Thousand-hand Emperor seems to follow him."

"Edie, Thousand-hand Emperor, this man is the enemy of our Flame Valley. Please allow me to take
this man away, and we will reward you bountifully," Fitch said respectfully.

"That's right. If you just step back from this, the Flame Valley will definitely give you a big reward." At
this time, another voice sounded, this time coming from a black-haired old man.

"He is Redmond's father, the third elder of the Flame Valley," some of the warriors whispered. "I didn't
expect that he would personally come..."

"It's understandable. It's his son that was killed, and this auction has a lot of good things.

So the Flame Valley must have sent a strong master to take charge here."

"Ha-ha, Hutton! I didn't expect to see you here," the Thousand-hand Emperor greeted with a smile.

"Although we have a good relationship, I cannot break the rules for you. Moreover, the leader of the
alliance has brought me here to protect the peace and order of this auction. Edie is the one who is in
charge of everything here."



"Is that so, Edie?" Hearing the words of the Thousand-hand Emperor, Hutton turned to look at Edie.

"I'm sorry, sir. You know the rules of the Wind-Mountain Alliance. If I take your reward and break the
rule today, no one will dare to come to the Wind-Mountain Alliance anymore. In that case, the alliance
will only exist in name," Edie said with a slight smile.

But despite his submissive words, his eyes were cold as steel, brooking no arguments.

"Of course, once you leave the territory of our Wind-Mountain Alliance, we will not care about anything
that is going to happen. So, please forgive me for what I have done."

"In that case, let's do as your rules!" Hutton replied, bearing the anger in his heart but unable to do
anything else.

After all, the Flame Valley could not provoke the Wind-Mountain Alliance. And as a senior leader of the
Flame Valley, he had some suspicions about Edie's identity. Thus, he did not want to evoke his anger.

"Fitch, let's go. We'll wait until the auction ends," said Hutton.

Then he turned to his followers and said, "Let's go. I hope I can get something good at this auction."

With that said, Hutton left without a backward glance at Ricky, not because he had forgiven him, but
because he had already torn him to pieces in his mind.

After that, the people from the Flame Valley followed behind Fitch and Hutton and entered the castle.
Seeing the people of the Flame Valley leave, all the warriors around entered the castle, too.

"Hi, Kenney.

I'm glad you came here as I said," Edie then said to Ricky using his internal power.



"I have no choice. The people from the Flame Valley is too scary. I had to come," Ricky sighed as he
spoke, just so Edie would believe that he was truly afraid of the Flame Valley members.

"Counting this time, I have helped you twice. Shouldn't you give me something in return?" said Edie
with a teasing smile.
