The shop was a joint business base set up by the Chen family of the Cyan Phoenix State in Luori City. Behind the shop was a large courtyard, which was convenient for the Chen family to stay temporarily. At this moment, the main hall of the courtyard was filled with people. When Xiao Qingqing and the other two arrived, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit standing up and gesturing for the two of them to sit down. His expression was solemn, and his eyes were sharp. He glanced at the members present and did not say anything. He pondered for a moment," Manager Chen, is everyone here?”At this moment, an old man stepped forward and bowed,""Reporting to the Head Chief, everyone is here.”"Then let's start now." The middle-aged chief steward waved his hand, indicating for the old man to leave first. He continued,"I urgently gathered everyone here. This matter happened suddenly and there are some changes. " Commander Chen Xiaofeng, tell us about the situation.”"Reporting to the Head Chief, according to our intelligence, the major powers of the Rainbow Phoenix State will be participating this time. At present, the Nangong and Shangguan clans have already sent a portion of their forces to the Sunset City.”"Well done." He continued," Everyone, you've heard it. Let's not bother about the other states for now. With the participation of the Rainbow Phoenix State, it's obvious that things are not as simple as they seem. I hope that everyone will make sufficient preparations for safety. However," he changed the topic," everyone, don't worry too much. The family has sent news that the family head will arrive in a day or two.”
Hearing that the family head was rushing over, the people below sighed. One could imagine that this auction was not as simple as the three families protecting it on the surface. The Head Chief raised his hands, and the crowd immediately quieted down." This time, the three of us are hosting this together, but things have gone beyond our expectations. The Li family and the Xie family have both sent news that this time, it's not as simple as just the Demon Venerable Map. There might be some unknown secrets hidden inside.”Seeing that no one had any objections, the Head Chief continued,"We will only know the exact situation after we enter the ruins. That's all for today. Everyone should go down and do their own work.”
In the city lord's mansion, the city lord Li Yunfeng was also preoccupied. He said to Li Yunyang, who was sitting beside him,""Yun Yang, it looks like things are not going to be simple this time. I thought that with the three great clans taking charge together, there shouldn't be too many problems.”Li Yunyang also felt that this matter was a little unusual." Yes, although we've sent more people, the situation is still stable.”He had some doubts in his heart. Could there be other secrets hidden in this map? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The ordinary atlases were only for the younger generation to experience. "Forget it, it's useless to think too much. The ceremony would begin in three days, so he would act according to the situation.”Li Yunyang thought about it and shook his head. The reason why he could have such achievements over the years was also because he had the backing of his family. Otherwise, even if he had the ability to do business, it would not be of much use. He did not have the strength and power to do so.
The auction was finally about to begin. Although these three days were short, the entire Luori City could feel the pressure. Strangely enough, other than the Shangguan family and the Nangong family, no other major forces had come to Luori City. Perhaps they were hiding in the dark. The family head, Li Tianxiao, did not know either. According to the speculation of the clan's old monsters who usually did not show up, it should be…Li Yunyang was in the study at the moment. He was only responsible for the safety of the auction. If it was just the Demon Venerable Ruins, it would not have attracted the participation of two powerful families. It was possible that there was something else hidden in the ruins. Moreover, why did the mysterious person choose to auction it in Luori City? He sighed and warned himself not to get involved before he had the strength. It was better to be an ordinary businessman.
Those who could enter the underground auction were basically the descendants of families with good backgrounds, as well as some freelance martial artists with rich social status. It was the same for Mortal City, it was just that the items auctioned were of different grades. This auction was a little different. When Li Yunyang had received the mysterious man's request, he had not agreed at first. Instead, he had informed his clan. After a discussion with the clan elders, he had invited the Chen and Xie Clans to be in charge of ensuring the peace of the Cyan Phoenix State. Everything was unexpected, and the auction house was full of people.
There were three young men standing on the stage, and one of them was Li Yunfeng. The other two should be the representatives of the Chen Clan and the Xie Clan. Li Yunfeng walked forward and cupped his hands."First of all, I would like to thank everyone for participating in this auction. There is only one item in this auction, and that is the Demon Venerable's map fragment. There were a total of four map fragments, and three of them were being auctioned. Next, let's invite Chen Xiaozheng from the Chen family to explain the auction requirements to everyone.”The young man called Chen Xiaozheng slowly walked forward and cleared his throat."According to the client's private request, each map fragment can only bring 15 people at the same time, and they are not allowed to return after the auction.”After saying that, he took a few steps back. Then, the young man from the Xie Clan walked forward and said,""The starting bid for the map fragment is 100 million gold coins. Spirit stones were also acceptable. The price was the same as the market price. A single spirit stone was equivalent to one million gold coins, and a single spirit stone was equivalent to two million gold coins.”Although they said so, very few people took spirit stones unless the owner requested it.
"150 million." As soon as the young man from the Xie Clan finished speaking, a rogue cultivator in the corner shouted impatiently.
"160 million." Someone shouted.
At first, the bidders were all itinerant cultivators. The representatives of the few large families did not bid. Perhaps they felt that they were 90% sure and knew what to do. The price soared and soon reached 300 million.
"500 million." Nangong Haoran called out nonchalantly.
Hearing someone bid 500 million, there was an uproar below, but no one continued to raise the bid. 500 million gold coins was not a lot for some big cultivation families, but ordinary rogue cultivators could not afford it. Moreover, he didn't know if it was worth it. As an itinerant cultivator, his income was low to begin with. 500 million spirit stones was equivalent to 500 spirit stones. If he spent 500 spirit stones to gamble, he would think twice.
"500 million, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?”The young man from the Xie Clan looked around. Seeing that no one was bidding, he continued,""500 million going once, 500 million going twice, 500 million going thrice, sold.”Seeing that the first map fragment had been auctioned off, some of the itinerant cultivators seemed to be still discussing. Shangguan Tao, who was sitting not far from Nangong Haoran, looked at him and nodded.""Congratulations, brother, for winning the first map fragment.”Although Nangong Haoran was arrogant, he was not disrespectful to Shangguan Tao. He smiled and replied,""Brother Shangguan, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
The auction soon ended. The last two map fragments were bought by Shangguan Tao and a rogue cultivator for 500 million gold coins. The bidding process was not as intense as expected. It was as if they had discussed it from the beginning. It was obvious that the last piece was won by a group of secret practitioners.
The auction was unusually peaceful…
