Feng Yun also looked at the sword with interest, but he could only sigh his head dejectedly. He was a poor fellow now.
As soon as the bid for the sword started, many people jumped into action.
“20000!”
“24000!”
“30000!”
“32000!”
“35000!”
Among many voices, Feng Yun recognized one voice that belonged to his cousin Mu Wenqian. “Oh, this sword will be good for her. I don’t know if she can get it or not. But If Elder Hua helps, then she might win this sword.” Feng Yun thought inwardly.
“40000!”
“50000!”
“55000!”
“60000!”
Bidding prices continued to rise. At this time, there were only five contenders remained who were bidding for the sword. Other than Mu Wenquan and Su, the remaining three were major powers. Because of the Su, the Cao Clan has no choice but to withdraw from the auction today. Although they were reluctant to give up, they didn’t have the guts to offend Su Clan.
They could only mourn silently at their bad luck. Patriarch looked at the divine-grade sword with longing, but to please the young master of the Su Clan, he could only remain silent.
The men of the Su Clan could understand the inner thoughts of the Patriarch, but they didn’t care about it.
“Patriarch Cao, can you help me look into the person who brought the array flags.” Su Dingxiang said slowly. ‘A country bumpkin wants to snatch things from my hands, he really has a death wish.’ He thought in his mind.
“I will try my best, Young Master Su!” The Patriarch of the Cao nodded immediately.
One of the men said with some thought. “Young Master, should we look into the person who auctioned these treasures, he must have more treasures on him.”
Su Dingxiang’s eyes brows creased slightly, he thought for a moment and said, “Okay, find out the identity of the man but do not take action without my permission. I am curious to know how he obtained these treasures.”
“Young Master, he should have discovered these treasures in the ancient ruins. There might be more treasures in that ruin if we obtained the location of this ruin.” Another man said with a greedy expression.”
Su Dingxiang smiled and said, “This trip turned out to be very profitable. Luckily, I came here.”
“Capture that person, find out the location of the ruin from him at all cost.” Su Dingxiang’s eyes turned cold and said.
“Yes, Young master!” The three men nodded in unison.
…
“70 thousand” Mu Wenqian bid again.
“75 Thousand!” Someone from room no eight raised the bid.
“80 thousand!” Su Dingxiang bid.
“85 thousand!” A man from room no. 6 raised the bid.
“90 thousand.” Mu Wenquan cursed under her breath and raised the bid again. She only has Around 60 thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones in her hand. She just borrowed fifty thousand from Elder Hua, she thought a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones would be sufficient to win the sword.
…
The bidding continued, almost all guests who were sitting in the VIP rooms come out to bid except for one room. Room number one was occupied by the four mysterious people. They didn’t bid for a single item, just watched the show from the window.
A middle-aged woman was sitting in the room with three other people. Surprisingly, all four of them were Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators. Two mid-stage Sovereign Profound Realm and the other two were Late Stage Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators.
The woman in the middle was wearing a dark purple robe, she has unusual sky-blue colored hair that was very noticeable, and her pupils were also sky-blue like the ocean. Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, and her body emitted the enticing scent of a mature woman.
But these four individuals were surrounded by the cold aura, the temperature of the room was decreased because of the icy cold aura that leaked out from their bodies.
“Matriarch, why did you decide to put this sword in the auction at the last moment?” Her subordinate asked curiously.
“Naturally, this sword is bait. The secret realm is too dangerous, we lost a few people even before they could explore one-fourth of the entire secret realm. If we want to explore the entire secret realm, we will need canon folders.”
“But Matriarch, we will lose many treasures this way.”
“Third Elder, life is more important. Anyway, as long as we get the final treasure of that secret realm, it won’t matter if we lose some. That treasure is the most essential thing, the ancestor also said it. As long as we get the lost inheritance of our Ice Phoenix Clan, our lotus clan will revive its previous glory.” The Middle-aged woman said. “It doesn’t matter if we invite other people, only our clan’s people could enter into the core area of the secret realm.”
…
Outside, the bidding for the sword has reached the final stage. People come out of the dark, they started fighting openly. They tried to use their clan’s influence to buy the sword. But no one was willing to accept defeat.
“100000! Jin clan wants this sword.” A man from room no six come forward and said loudly.
“110000!” From room eight, A middle-aged man came to the window and said, he looked at the man of Jin clan and screamed, “Fuck you, My Shi clan also want this sword. Don’t talk nonsense and bid.”
Seeing the atmosphere heating up, Zhang Min came forward to pacify the situation, “Dear Guest, Please don’t use violence in the auction house, you know the rules of the auction. Who bids higher wins.”
“150000!” At this time, Su Dingxiang said loudly. He directly increased the price by forty thousands.
“Fuck, who is it?” The big shots looked toward the direction of Su Dingxiang’s room and exclaimed. At this time, the Patriarch of the Cao Clan come to the window and said loudly, “My Cao clan also wants this sword. Everyone auctioneer Zhang Min is right, we should follow the rules of the auctions.”
“Patriarch Cao is really magnanimous, even billing to take out 150 thousand high-grade spirit stones. My Jin clan accepts defeats.” The Man of Jin Clan retreated.
The Shi Clan’s man looked at Patriarch Cao and decided to retreat as well.
“150 thousand, is anyone willing to bid higher?”
Zhang Min asked with a loud voice. VIP rooms were deadly silent, they didn’t bid further.
The Cao Clan was recognized as the strongest clan of the Blazing Sun City, they didn’t offend the Cao Clan. Moreover, they didn’t have money either. A hundred thousand high grade spirit stones were their limit. They didn’t expect, the Cao Clan will spend their entire clan’s fortune on a single weapon.
“150 thousand going once, going twice… Sold! This sword belongs to customers from room no.3.”
In the end, the sword was brought by Su Dingxiang for 150 thousand high-grade spirit stones. Naturally, Su Dingxiang didn’t want to waste his time arguing with these people, so he let the Patriarch of the Cao clan handle it.
Feng Yun looked at the room of the Cao Clan with a cold expression. Feng Yun sent a trace of divine sense into the room of the Cao Clan to explore. His eyebrows creased slightly when he sensed strong auras from that room.
“How come they have many strong experts in their clan? Something is not right!” Feng Yun frowned. But He didn’t try to probe further, otherwise, his divine sense will be detected by them.
“
Mu Wenquan sighed dejectedly. Even after combining her and elder Hua’s entire money, she wasn’t able to win the sword.
“Wenquan, don’t worry too much. Just have patience, I’m sure that you will find a better sword in the empire.” Elder Hua comforted Mu Wenquan.
Mu Wenquan nodded lightly as she looked at the sword with a regretful look and muttered “It looks like I do not have fate with this sword!”
“Wenquan, I just explore the room of the Cao Clan and found auras of four sovereign profound realm cultivators.” Elder Hua said with a serious expression.
“What?” Mu Wenquan was stunned. According to his mother, there are only two Sovereign Profound Realm experts in the Cao Clan, how come two more appeared now?
“Elder Hua, are you sure?” Mu Wenquan asked slowly.
“Hmm, I’m sure!” Elder Hua nodded seriously.
“Elder Hua, can you sense their cultivation stage? Are you stronger than you?” Mu Wenquan said softly. As long as their cultivation was lower than Elder Hua, the Mu Clan have a chance to win.
