Chapter 1951 - 1982: Third Elder
Who would have thought, in such an auction, that someone would raise the base price by twenty million Black Crystals in just one bid?At this moment, whether it was those in the ordinary seats or those in the private rooms, everyone swallowed hard, stood up, and looked incredulously towards Room No. 3.
Undoubtedly, Room No. 3 had become the focal point here, and the fiery gaze toward it made the room exceptionally heated.
On the high platform, Qing Feng's hands tightened. In all his hundreds or even thousands of years of hosting auctions, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
His heart was so impacted by Green's words that he was nearly suffocating; he felt that even speaking had become a jumble of words.
The two elderly men with Lord Cultivation also had their eyes narrowed, looking toward Room No. 3 with an unusual hint of fear in their eyes.
Someone who can disregard money and speak out such an amount of Black Crystals so easily, how could they possibly be an ordinary person?
Who exactly is this person?
What exact cultivation do they possess?
Where do they come from?
And what kind of identity do they have?
All these questions, along with one question mark after another, appeared in everyone's mind.
Each person's body felt a heat at the same time, and the gaze toward Room No. 3 was filled with deep-seated fear.
Inside Room No. 1, an elderly man with white hair was intently watching Room No. 3; as his white hair fluttered, a strong wave of cultivation power poured forth.
With a slight sense, one would realize this was a Lord Realm Cultivator.
His gaze towards Room No. 3 was unusually sharp and carried a certain level of apprehension.
"Speaking out and adding twenty million at once, damn it, do you think these Black Crystals are made of water? Damn, such treasures are loved by everyone, but with this kind of price increase, isn't the one benefiting in the end this auction house? Damn, damn, really damn, how can I be so unlucky to encounter such an unreasonable person?"
The Lord Realm Cultivator was muttering, while the beauty in his arms was trembling incessantly.
It seemed to have reached some sort of critical point, as if waiting for a release from below, and seemed afraid of this elder in front of her.
Inside Room No. 10, Young Master Qi and the blue-robed elder were both looking pale after hearing Green's bid.
It was as if a world-shattering thunderbolt had struck from the sky, leaving them utterly defeated and shattering their last bit of hope.
This time, the auction had a total of only three finale items, and the other two were beyond their reach.
Originally, they held great hope for this final item, but they never expected that the damn person in Room No. 3 would utter such a price as soon as they spoke.
Such a price, once revealed, could affect the sect's operations!
Damn it.
Qi Lai cursed inwardly, suppressing his anger, and sat back in his chair, coldly looking at the blue-robed elder beside him, and said coldly, "Tell me, what should we do?"
"Young Master, the Black Crystals we have on us amount only to this figure; seeing how firm the other party's tone is, it seems impossible to obtain this item," the blue-robed elder said, wiping the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, speaking with a tingling scalp.
Just when Young Master Qi was about to say something else, a ripple of space in the private room surged, and a black-clad figure appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as this figure arrived, Young Master Qi immediately stood up from his chair like he was grasping at a lifeline, and looked towards the black-clad figure.
The black-clad figure was middle-aged, with a few angles of tenacity on his face, and a slight killing aura; a single glance could ascertain that this was a person fond of killing.
Yet seeing this person, who others would find terrifying and fearsome, Young Master Qi was overwhelmingly delighted.
"Elder Three, you've finally arrived," Young Master Qi said joyously.
The middle-aged man referred to as Elder Three just glanced over Young Master Qi's face, instantly observing their current predicament.
"Are you injured?"
Elder Three's voice was very cold.
This coldness sent a shiver down Young Master Qi and the blue-robed elder's spines.
In an instant, their clothes were soaked through.
With that single glance, their hearts sank into boundless tremors.
After Elder Three retracted his gaze, only then did this feeling dissipate from Young Master Qi and the other's bodies.
"Yes, Elder Three, that damn thing not only snatched the treasure we had set our eyes on, but also injured us. What's more infuriating is that the auction house did nothing about this evil act," Young Master Qi complained incessantly.
Elder Three's expression changed, immediately disregarding Young Master Qi's earlier words; the grievances Young Master Qi suffered didn't concern him much.
He also didn't care.
Because he knew well Young Master Qi's temperament and what kind of person he was.
For him, as long as he completed his task, it would be enough.
His so-called task was to ensure that Young Master Qi didn't die here and to bring back any of the three finale items—nothing more was required.
The words Young Master Qi said afterward made Elder Three's eyes narrow; from these few short sentences, he already figured it out.
Meaning that the person who attacked Young Master Qi had already reached the Lord Realm in cultivation, and perhaps not low within that realm.
This realization also invoked some apprehension in Elder Three.
But regardless, this matter could not end here, as Young Master Qi represented the prestigious Golden Fire Sect. If they let this slide,
what face would the Golden Fire Sect have to stand here in the future?
Therefore, this matter, no matter what, must make the other party pay a sufficient price.
But it would have to wait until after the auction concluded.
"Rest assured, I will make sure you're satisfied with this affair. For now, just focus on the auction," Elder Three said indifferently.
"Yes, Elder Three," Young Master Qi was extremely pleased after hearing Elder Three's words.
He quickly moved to the window, shouting loudly outside, "Forty million Black Crystals."
After announcing such a price, Young Master Qi felt the depression in his heart dissipate significantly.
