- Chapter 179 - Can I Do Such a Devious Thing?
The sect leaders of Sheng Ling Sect, Xinghuo Sect, Tieren Sect, and Fei Niao Sect all arrived with dark expressions.
Their sects’ treasures being openly auctioned was a blatant slap in their faces.
Even the sect leaders of Xuan Yin Hall and Shui Yun Sect arrived together, despite their usual rivalry. They stood outside the Tuo Yue Sect’s private room, their faces dark as if trying to see through the walls and the people inside.
Wang Zhi chuckled and used a transmission technique. “Welcome, you two! Buy lots of things, will you? Our sect is in need of funds.”
Their faces turned even darker, shifting from green to purple with anger.
The audacity! Stealing their belongings and then auctioning them back at high prices!
Not only was this a slap in their faces, but it also extorted a huge amount of money from them.
With a cold snort, the two sect leaders strode towards their own private rooms.
Mo Yu sat at the table, munching on the freshly delivered spirit fruits and snacks. “Master, how much are these items worth?”
Wang Zhi laughed heartily. “Just the Shui Yun Sect’s Dark Night Sword has a starting bid of five million spirit stones.”
Du Tuo shook his head gently. “I doubt anyone will compete. This auction’s starting price will likely be its final price.”
Wang Zhi stroked his chin, shaking his head in regret. “It’s a pity. If it weren’t for the auction, the price could have been higher. The starting price is set by the auction house, but I must say… this grand scene is quite enjoyable, haha…”
Putting their items in the auction house and watching these sect leaders buy back their own things with grim faces made everything worth it.
Only Wang Zhi could come up with such a shameless act.
Mo Yu squinted, eager to watch the show.
Soon, a graceful woman stepped onto the stage.
“The auction today is officially beginning. I will announce the first item, an eighth-grade elixir…”
One after another, seven or eight items were auctioned off.
They were all taken by families or individuals, while the sect members did not bid. Their target was clear.
“Next, we present a Profound-tier spirit weapon. This is the third high-grade Profound-tier weapon to ever appear in our auction house, named the Dark Night Sword!”
“This sword is forged from the Black Iron End Wood of Limitless Mountain, an extremely hard spirit wood nurtured by heaven and earth. Weapons made from this material are brimming with spiritual energy. Combined with special cultivation techniques, the sword’s power increases with the wielder’s strength, making it highly adaptable.”
“The starting bid for the Dark Night Sword is five million spirit stones!”
As soon as the Dark Night Sword appeared, the cultivators knew it was time to enjoy the show.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Shui Yun Sect made their move.
“Five million spirit stones.”
They weren’t willing to pay a single extra coin.
This sword originally belonged to them. Being forced to buy it back was utterly humiliating!
The thought of paying five million spirit stones made Kong Jin seethe with rage.
These Tuo Yue Sect bastards!
Given the chance, he’d make them pay in blood!
Especially that Mo Yu…
She’s the one who stole their treasures!
They all had to die!
“Any higher bids? Five million going once…”
The other sects on par with Shui Yun Sect had the capability to compete, but they had no intention of provoking Tuo Yue Sect.
“Five million going twice…”
Wang Zhi frowned, about to speak up.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
“Six million.”
All eyes turned to a particular private room.
Someone was competing with Shui Yun Sect!
Everyone was curious, wondering who had the guts to challenge them.
“Six million! Do I hear any higher bids?”
People whispered amongst themselves, trying to identify the bold competitor.
“I saw a few people in black enter that room, all covered head to toe. They must want to stay anonymous.”
“Could it be a shill from Tuo Yue Sect to drive up the price?”
“Very possible. Tuo Yue Sect would do anything to raise the stakes.”
Shui Yun Sect was a powerful force, and no one wanted to cross them unnecessarily.
“Who else would do something so devious but Tuo Yue Sect?”
Mo Yu looked up. “Master, did you arrange this?”
Du Tuo also looked at him.
Wang Zhi’s eyes widened. “You all think I did this? This isn’t my doing. Besides, am I that devious? Could I do such a thing?”
Mo Yu said leisurely, “Master, you could absolutely do something like this.”
She hadn’t forgotten how this devious master had thrown her into another sect to exploit her special physique.
Meanwhile, Shui Yun Sect was on the verge of an explosion.
Kong Jin gritted his teeth. “Wang Zhi, you sly fox! You dare to toy with me!”
“Eight million spirit stones!”
Then, another bid came.
“Eight million five hundred thousand.”
Kong Jin slammed the table. “Nine million!”
The Dark Night Sword was just a Profound-tier weapon. Seven to eight million was already a high price.
But the Dark Night Sword was their sect’s pride. They had to reclaim it. They couldn’t let it fall into someone else’s hands.
Then, another bid came. “Nine million five hundred thousand.”
“Damn it!”
The auction house buzzed with excitement.
“Who are these people, daring to challenge Shui Yun Sect?”
“Maybe they’re really determined to get this sword, but nine million five hundred thousand? That’s crazy for a Profound-tier weapon.”
The hostess on stage smiled. “Nine million five hundred thousand going once, going twice…”
“Nine million five hundred thousand.”
The auction house buzzed with excitement.
“Who are these people, daring to challenge Shui Yun Sect?”
“Maybe they’re really determined to get this sword, but nine million five hundred thousand? That’s crazy for a Profound-tier weapon.”
The hostess on stage smiled. “Nine million five hundred thousand going once, going twice…” “Nine hundred fifty thousand!”
Another bid?
A Profound-tier weapon, the Dark Night Sword, was now at nine hundred fifty thousand?
This had to be a new high for the auction house.
Kong Jin’s face turned black.
He raised his voice. “The Dark Night Sword originally belongs to Shui Yun Sect. Please step back.”
His voice echoed clearly throughout the hall.
It made everyone realize how powerful these sect leaders were.
They weren’t ordinary cultivators but formidable masters.
In Tuo Yue Sect’s private room, Wang Zhi rubbed his ears. “It really wasn’t me, though I did consider it.”
Mo Yu used her spiritual power to scan the private room.
“…”
So, it was her.
In the private room, several men were gathered, discussing.
“This amount isn’t much, but if Shui Yun Sect comes after us, escaping could be an issue.”
They all looked at Bai Roujing.
Bai Roujing played with a luminous pearl, light streaming through her fingers.
