Chapter 2379 No Money

“Five point six million…”

“Five point eight million…”

“Seven point two million…”

As soon as the auction began, the entire venue erupted. Everyone raised their number plates, continuously shouting out their prices.

On the side of the Demonic Sect, Xin Wunu sat there with his eyes closed, his incomparably powerful Divine Sense once again sweeping across the entire venue like mercury flowing across the ground.

But the result still disappointed him; he still hadn't detected Ye Bufan's aura.

It was the same for Qian Wuji from Wuliang Temple. His powerful Divine Sense searched every corner like a radar, trying to find Ye Bufan.

However, after a long time, he couldn't even find a shadow of him.

Qian Wuji slammed his hand on the tea table in front of him: “Damn it, did he really not come?”

Yuan Tiancheng said, “That’s hard to say. That Ye is very cunning. Perhaps he sensed something was wrong and hid.”

Qian Wuji’s expression was gloomy: “No matter what, let’s get the five-colored mystic stone first. We can use it as bait to lure him out later.”

While they were busy, the auction house was ablaze with activity. The price of the five-colored mystic stone had already been raised to ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The bidder was a thin middle-aged man. After he announced this price, the scene quieted down.

Although everyone wanted this stone, ten million was not a small sum. Not just anyone could afford it.

Xin Wunu looked at the middle-aged man with a cold gaze, his Divine Sense sweeping him from head to toe again. Still feeling uneasy, he asked, “Do you know who this fellow is? Is it possible that it’s Ye in disguise?”

Lan Meier said, “I know him. This person is from the Wang Family in Tianxing Empire Royal City. It’s impossible for him to be Ye Bufan in disguise.”

Xin Wubei cursed, “Damn it, did that Ye really not come?”

What he hated most now was Ximen Jiayin, but her Cultivation was too high, making revenge difficult, so he put all the blame on Ye Bufan.

“Perhaps.”

Xin Wunu said, “Since that Ye didn’t come, let’s bid for this stone first, and then we’ll think of other ways later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tiancheng from the neighboring private room had already preemptively announced a price.

“Twelve million!”

Everyone present instantly turned their gazes. No one expected that at such a high price, someone would still raise the bid.

The middle-aged man was also taken by surprise. This price was truly too high. Even his Family could not bear it.

Moreover, he couldn't afford to offend the other party's identity, so he could only grudgingly put down his number plate.

Just when everyone thought the auction was about to end, Xin Wuxi shouted loudly, “I bid fifteen million!”

Yuan Tiancheng cursed angrily, “Damn it, why is the Demonic Sect still competing with us?”

Qian Wuji said, “We were only temporarily cooperating, and the five-colored mystic stone is theirs to begin with. It’s normal for them to want it back.”

Yuan Tiancheng asked, “Sect Master, we still have one million High-Grade Spirit Stones left. Should we raise the price again?”

“No need.”

Qian Wuji was currently cooperating with the Demonic Sect and didn't want to make their relationship too strained. It was the same if this item was in their hands.

The Beauty Auctioneer saw that no one was bidding and picked up her auction hammer.

“This distinguished guest has bid fifteen million. Is there anyone who wishes to continue bidding? Fifteen million once, fifteen million twice…”

Just as she was about to bring down the hammer, another voice rang out: “Twenty million!”

“Uh…”

When this price was announced, everyone present was startled.

Firstly, the price was too astonishing, suddenly increasing by five million.

Secondly, the other party was a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator, yet they jumped out to compete for an item with others. Did they think their life was too long?

Everyone followed the voice and found that it was private room six again.

“Oh my goodness, it’s this fellow again! Who exactly is inside? How can they be so bold?”

Curiosity immediately arose in everyone's hearts, wondering who was truly hidden inside.

Ye Bufan had already prepared himself mentally. After bidding, he immediately activated the Chaotic True Qi within his body, completely masking his previous aura.

Sure enough, two incomparably powerful Divine Senses immediately swept over, precisely those of Xin Wunu and Qian Wuji from before.

His high bid for the five-colored mystic stone immediately aroused the suspicion of these two. They swept over him from head to toe several times but found no flaws.

Qian Wuji opened his eyes, and Gao Tiancheng immediately asked, “Sect Master, how is it? Is it that Ye in disguise?”

“No.”

Qian Wuji said, “It’s a dark Cultivator who appeared from who knows where. It can’t be that Ye.”

“If it’s not him, then why does he insist on getting this stone?”

As Gao Tiancheng said this, a thought suddenly struck him, “Sect Master, do you think it’s possible that Ye Bufan himself didn’t dare to come, so he found someone else to bid for the five-colored mystic stone?”

Not only him, but Lan Meier in another private room also thought of this.

“Elders, I suspect this Ye was sent by Ye Bufan. We absolutely cannot let him take the five-colored mystic stone away.”

Xin Wuxi shouted, “Of course! We’ll keep bidding. No matter what, we can’t let him take the stone.”

Lan Meier looked helpless: “But the fifty million we brought has already been spent. Where will we get more Spirit Stones?”

Xin Wuxi said carelessly, “So what? We’ll just shout whatever we want. Even if we can’t produce the Spirit Stones later, what can Jubao Pavilion do to us?”

“That won’t do.”

Xin Wunu waved his hand, stopping Xin Wuxi, “We could get away with pushing the boundaries before, but we can’t go too far. After all, this is Jubao Pavilion.”

Xin Wuxi said carelessly, “So what? Are we, the Demonic Sect, afraid of them? If you annoy us three brothers, we’ll just burn this place down.”

“You don’t know anything!”

Xin Wunu glared at him fiercely, “Jubao Pavilion has formidable strength. Although the Elders here are not as strong as us, their headquarters still have powerful Cultivators, even those in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. We don’t need to provoke such an enemy for the Demonic Sect.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing about Jubao Pavilion is that they control a vast amount of resources. Once we anger them, it will be difficult for us to buy anything in the future.”

Xin Wuxi was most afraid of the Grand Elder. Seeing him get angry, he immediately closed his mouth.

What Xin Wunu said was also true. The reason Jubao Pavilion could establish branches all over the Kunlun Continent was, on one hand, its formidable strength, and on the other, the vast amount of resources it held.

No matter what School, Cultivators cannot do without the support of resources, so no one was willing to provoke such an existence.

Their previous simple intimidation was acceptable, and Jubao Pavilion could turn a blind eye, but if they went too far, it would be difficult to resolve.

Xin Wubei said, “But Big Brother, we have no money left now. What should we do? We can’t just let that Ye take the stone directly, can we?”

As soon as his voice fell, Qian Wuji’s voice transmitted through the private room, “My Wuliang Temple still has sixteen million High-Grade Spirit Stones here. Elders, you can take them and use them first.”

At the Great Ascension Peak Realm, voice transmission into secrecy was a minor skill. This voice could only be heard by the four people inside the private room, having no effect on others.
