Chapter 2056: Holy Brick and Blood Crow City Lord

"Oh, it really has hidden circumstances. Please tell us, Brother Yue." A Demon race member wreathed in black energy said with a look of sudden realization after hearing this.

This Demon was also an existence at the late-stage Void Refinement, and his status seemed to be higher than Yue Liantian's. After the other Demon race members participating in the auction heard this, they immediately closed their mouths and stopped talking.

The entire auction hall became quiet.

"Since Brother Jin Jiao is asking, Yue will naturally explain in detail, and there will be no concealment. The reason the Holy Brick appeared in this city is, first, the owner does not want this object to cause too much of a sensation, thereby causing any unfavorable influence on himself. Second, this Holy Brick is actually somewhat incomplete. Several sets of divine abilities recorded inside are missing key incantations, and they are not the main cultivation divine abilities of Lord Qiling back then. Otherwise, how could this kind of holy object be auctioned by me." The elderly Demon race man hugged his fist to the Demon called Jin Jiao and said calmly.

"So that's it. Lord Qiling's status was so noble back then. Even if the divine abilities in the Holy Brick are incomplete, being able to comprehend one or two of the divine abilities is enough to far surpass those of the same rank. The value is indeed above that Dark Blood Five-Colored Bell." Jin Jiao thought for a while, and it seemed that the doubts in his heart had been completely resolved.

After the other Demon race members heard the question and answer between the two, not only were they not disappointed, but their gazes toward the crystal brick became even more fiery.

Although the divine abilities inside were incomplete, it seemed that the value had dropped by seven or eight out of ten, but this also made the authenticity of this object even more certain.

"But I wonder if Elder Yue can tell us the names of these two sets of divine abilities. In this way, we will know whether they are suitable for us?" A sharp voice echoed in the palace, but the specific location of the speaker could not be found at all, clearly having performed some secret technique.

"Sorry, I cannot tell you this. Because when the owner took out the Holy Brick for auction, he had already put forward the condition that the names of the divine abilities could not be revealed in advance. Alright, I have said everything I can say, the auction starts now!" The elderly Demon race man shook his head, and then announced decisively.

"Forty million magic stones, I must have this Holy Brick."

A voice like thunder rumbled from a corner of the venue, and it was a giant-like Demon race man with a green face and fangs.

"Wanting to bid for such a holy object with forty million, Brother Shi, you are too delusional. I bid fifty million!" A Demon race man with a single horn on his head and a full face of whiskers sneered.

"Sixty million!" Jin Jiao's expression sank, and he bid without hesitation.

"Sixty-five million magic stones!"

"Sixty-eight million"

Urgent bidding sounds came from other corners of the palace one after another.

For a time, several high-level Demon race members with the most wealth in the auction hall all made their moves one after another.

Han Li naturally had some interest in the divine abilities of a Body Integration existence. But unfortunately, this divine ability was left by the Holy Ancestor of the Demon race, and it was somewhat incomplete. Otherwise, he would really have some other thoughts.

"Eighty million magic stones!"

An icy voice slowly exited. At the same time, a strange cold aura rolled through the entire palace like a gale.

All the Demon race members who came into contact with this aura, those with shallow cultivation, felt their bodies stiffen, as if they were in a world of ice and snow. And those at the Void Refinement rank couldn't help but shiver.

"It's a Demon Venerable adult!"

Those Void Refinement Demon race members almost made a judgment in an instant, and some even shouted out in shock.

Other Demon race members heard this, and their hearts were greatly shocked, and their gazes all looked toward the place where the icy aura erupted.

They saw that at an entrance on the edge of the palace, an elderly silver-eyed man in gray robes appeared at some unknown time, with a nose like a hook and a calm expression, standing there, emitting a faint blood aura from his body.

"City Lord?"

"Senior Bing?"

Once they saw the face of the elderly silver-eyed man clearly, the entire auction hall was in an uproar, and the high-level Demon race members who recognized the old man's identity were all dumbfounded.

"City Lord, why are you here..." Yue Liantian was also extremely shocked, and hurriedly bowed from afar and asked.

"Why, can't I participate in this auction?" The elderly silver-eyed man said lightly.

"Dare not, it is the honor of the subordinates that the City Lord is willing to participate in the auction! It's just that I didn't know in advance, and the subordinates were somewhat surprised." Yue Liantian felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly explained.

"Since that's the case, now I have the highest bid, so this Holy Brick should belong to me." The Blood Crow City Lord said noncommittally.

"This is natural. If there is no bid higher than the City Lord, the Holy Brick will belong to the Lord. I wonder if any other fellow Daoists are willing to bid." Yue Liantian nodded repeatedly, and after holding the crystal brick high, asked loudly.

The elderly Demon race man's voice echoed in the palace, but the entire auction hall was silent.

Those high-level Demon race members who were determined to win just now, although their gazes toward the crystal brick were still burning, all kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to make a sound.

It was no wonder they were like this.

Not to mention Bing Qianren's status as the local master, the terrifying cultivation of a mid-stage Demon Venerable was enough to deter these Demon race members.

They didn't dare to know life or death and go to compete.

The elderly Demon race man saw this situation, took a deep breath, and was about to announce the final ownership of the crystal brick in his hand, but just at this moment, a strange voice sounded:

"Ninety million magic stones"

"What, someone really dares to compete with the City Lord for the holy object!"

"Who is so bold, don't they know life or death!"

This sudden bidding sound caused another commotion among the crowd of demons.

Many people looked around in surprise, wanting to find the bold person.

But the bidding sound just now was erratic, as if it appeared out of thin air in the auction hall, and it was impossible to find the exact location at all.

The Blood Crow City Lord heard this, narrowed his eyes, and spat out the number "ninety-five million".

"Ninety-nine million"

It was still the voice that bid just now, and it didn't hesitate at all.

The Blood Crow City Lord heard this, and the blood-colored cold aura on his body rolled, and his expression finally sank.

Seeing the silver-eyed old man's expression, the Demon race members in the auction hall were terrified, and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Since this fellow Daoist is determined to get this object, then I won't take what others love."

Contrary to the expectations of the crowd of demons, the Blood Crow City Lord pondered for a while, then suddenly said words of withdrawal, then turned and walked out of the door behind him, without showing any hesitation at all.

"Is there any other bid? No one? Good, this crystal brick belongs to this fellow Daoist." Yue Liantian was also very surprised, but didn't forget his duty, and after shouting three times without anyone else bidding higher, finally announced the winner of the crystal brick in his hand.

During this period, several Demon race members' gazes flickered uncertainly, but in the end, they didn't bid again. After all, this was something the Blood Crow City Lord wanted. Who knew what kind of disaster would be caused if they snatched it?

However, despite this, the Demon race members in the auction hall couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look around, wanting to see who was so bold as to compete with a Demon Venerable for things.

Sure enough, in a corner of the palace, a figure suddenly stood up and walked swaggeringly toward the stone platform.

Han Li's eyes flashed with fine light, and he saw the appearance of that Demon race member clearly.

It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged Demon race member, wearing a light blue robe, with a cultivation level of early-stage Void Refinement, and no special features could be seen at all.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly.

"Eh, isn't this Sheep Second? He's crazy, how dare he compete with the City Lord for the holy object?"

Others, upon seeing this middle-aged Demon race member appear, shouted in shock one after another.

Most of them recognized this middle-aged Demon race member.

"May I ask this fellow Daoist! Who is this Sheep Second? His cultivation doesn't seem very high, why do so many people recognize him?" Han Li saw this situation and suddenly asked a strong Demon race member sitting next to him.

This Demon race member had some thin green scales on his cheeks, and he also showed a look of shock just now.

"Ah, it seems you are a fellow Daoist from afar. This Sheep Second is a somewhat famous refiner in this city. Many people have asked him to repair damaged magic tools or order some low-level magic tools. However, he has lived in this city for more than a hundred years and has always been very low-key. How could he suddenly do something like competing with the City Lord for the holy object? Could it be that he practiced his cultivation technique and broke his brain? That's not right, how could he have the wealth to take out such a sky-high price of magic stones?"

The Demon race man scanned Han Li, and after finding that he was a late-stage Void Refinement existence, he immediately became very polite, but after finishing speaking, his face was full of confusion.

"So that's it, thank you for your answer." Han Li's eyes flashed with strange light after hearing this, nodded in thanks, and his gaze fell on the "Sheep Second" who had already walked to the stone platform again.

This Demon's face was wooden, and after taking out a storage bag and handing it to Yue Liantian for inspection, he took the crystal brick from the other party's hand and collected it with a flash of black light.

During this process, the elderly Demon race man looked at the Demon race member named "Sheep Second", and his face was also full of surprise, clearly also very surprised.

But what was even more surprising was that after this "Sheep Second" bid for the crystal brick, he didn't leave the auction hall immediately, but returned to his seat without changing his expression, seemingly intending to continue participating in the auction of the final item.

This strange behavior naturally made other Demon race members feel that something was wrong, besides being surprised.

Many Demon race members who originally had other ideas gave up their original thoughts one after another.

And Yue Liantian, after calming down, finally started the auction of the final item.

He beckoned, and the Demon race woman who was empty-handed walked to the stone platform.

The woman flicked her wrist, and a green round ring flew out, spinning, and a piece of white light rolled out.

The stone platform instantly had a huge object more than ten zhang long.
