Chapter 312: Auctioning the Blood Saint's Inheritance
"Currently, the starting bid for the Blood Saint's inheritance is one billion Alliance Coins, and each increment must be no less than fifty million Alliance Coins."
The auctioneer announced the bidding price immediately.
His gaze swept across everyone present, lingering for a few seconds on several VIP rooms.
The auctioneer understood that the people downstairs were just there to watch the excitement; those truly capable of winning the inheritance were in those very VIP rooms.
High-ranking members of the Illuminati, the Resurrection Society, and the Gospel Society had all come.
Even Zi Shu, one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation of the Yan Country, had appeared at the Hidden Dragon Auction House.
These people were determined to obtain the Blood Saint's inheritance.
Today was also a day to establish the reputation of the Hidden Dragon Auction House.
It all depended on whose hands the Blood Saint's inheritance would fall into.
After all, this was the powerful inheritance of a faction, and it contained secrets regarding eternal life.
Ye Bai looked down from above at the dense crowd of people, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
"It seems there are quite a few people competing today."
He shared the same thought as the auctioneer: those truly capable of winning the inheritance must be from the top factions of the Yan Country.
Among them were the three major underground organizations, the hidden aristocratic families of the Yan Country, and the officials of the Yan Country.
Now it was just a matter of who had the deepest pockets to come out on top.
The higher the opening bid, the greater his own harvest would be.
The Necromancer looked at the Blood Saint's inheritance with an incredibly fervent gaze; he felt that his Soul was extremely compatible with the Blood Saint's inheritance.
Two clusters of Soul Fire floated within his hollow skull, like pigeon-blood rubies embedded in two eye sockets.
The Necromancer's head and body were crafted from precious Mithril, with an outer layer of Refined Gold plated on to enhance his defense.
This allowed him to use his own body as a medium to cast spells.
The Necromancer was a veteran powerhouse, and his Soul Summoning Technique was renowned throughout the entire Blue Star.
The Undead Calamity he led had even invaded several small countries and completely wiped them out.
"I have had enough of these days of eternal life."
"How I long to become a person of flesh and blood, to taste delicious food, to smell the fragrant scent of flowers."
"Instead of lying in a cold coffin, with a pile of foul-smelling undead as subordinates."
The Necromancer had begun to loathe himself, and even more so, his Soul Summoning Technique.
In his eyes, none of these compared to becoming a real human.
Therefore, the Necromancer's greatest hobby was to forcibly burrow into people's bodies while they were still alive.
Listening to human fear and wailing, feeling the warmth of a human.
He would listen to the sound of a heartbeat and fall into a state of slumber.
But whenever he woke from his sleep and felt himself surrounded by corpses, it made him feel extremely annoyed.
The Blood Saint's inheritance contained the secret technique of Soul Rebirth, an inheritance the Necromancer was dying to obtain.
Once he obtained the inheritance, he could complete his Rebirth and become the Blood Saint, living another life.
With the top-tier resources of two major factions at his disposal, he would surely be able to return to his peak in a very short time.
"I have already laid a Net-Catching trap around the perimeter of the Hidden Dragon Auction House, with a large number of undead knights in ambush."
If he could not win the Blood Saint's inheritance through bidding, the Necromancer intended to seize it by this method, even if it meant sacrificing the undead army he had painstakingly collected.
The Necromancer wanted to live another life too badly; for this, he did not hesitate to offend the Hidden Dragon Auction House.
In the Necromancer's eyes, the Hidden Dragon Auction House only had a loud name.
Most people could not resist when he launched an Undead Calamity.
He had tried many methods; the body he had meticulously crafted had become a cage imprisoning his Soul.
The Necromancer could only ultimately pin his hopes on the Blood Saint's inheritance.
It was said that back then, the Blood Saint, having been careless and beheaded by Heart Moon Fox, had still managed to live another life through the secret technique of Soul Rebirth.
The Necromancer did not believe that he lacked the luck to live another life.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Sages transformed into a brilliant light, floating in the air.
She had now achieved the Great Completion of the Trinity and was about to break through the peak of the Eighth Rank to enter the Ninth Rank.
The Three Sages were currently just here to join in the fun.
At this moment, the Three Sages seemed to have sensed something; she split off a Clone and merged it into the void.
The Thorn Maiden, the Dark Knight, and other leaders of the Gospel Society had all come, each occupying a room.
As for the Resurrection Society, the new Blood Saint, Red Knight, had arrived.
She looked at the Blood Saint's inheritance, a complex expression appearing in her eyes.
Red Knight wished she had never awakened her consciousness.
It turned out that the Black Knight, with whom she had spent every day, was her husband, and the previous Blood Saint was the murderer who had killed her and the Black Knight; even her most beloved daughter had been tortured by the Blood Saint and turned into a mindless undead.
All of this was to stimulate her, to make her transform into an immortal Blood Knight.
The Blood Saint had forced her to become a powerful vengeful spirit by constantly torturing her, and in the end, he turned her into a Blood Knight.
It turned out she had been working for her enemy all along; it was the Blood Saint who had sealed away those memories.
Having awakened her memories, she felt an instinctive loathing for the Blood Saint's inheritance.
She felt that once she accepted the Blood Saint's inheritance, she would no longer be herself.
Therefore, Red Knight would rather let this inheritance fall into someone else's hands.
However, her Soul had already been branded with a Soul Brand by Elder Feng, and her life and death were no longer under her own control.
Once she had any intention of defying Elder Feng's will, she would be dealt with by Elder Feng and imprisoned in the Dead Spirit Abyss, never to be Rebirth.
She is actually just a transitional person; once a suitable Blood Saint Child is found, the Red Knight will be immediately replaced.
That is why the Blood Knight has been playing along with Elder Feng all this time.
The Red Knight is currently plotting a plan.
A plan for self-redemption.
Elder Feng's Storm Avatar is watching from the side like a tiger, so the Red Knight can only take things one step at a time.
The person sent by the Yan Country is Zi Shu of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation; he excels at strategy.
Zi Shu is a Daoist who looks like he has the bearing of an immortal; he wears a patchwork robe, and the horsetail whisk in his hand and the Copper Coin Sword tucked at his waist are both equipment-type Exotic Beasts.
In his hand, there is also a Golden Compass constantly hovering in mid-air.
"I have already calculated it; if a legacy like the Blood Saint Child's is retrieved by the Resurrection Society, it will cause very serious consequences for the Yan Country in the future."
"Foreign forces like the Resurrection Society should not be allowed to exist."
Unfortunately, the lair of the Resurrection Society is truly hard to find; the previous Heart Moon Fox was almost able to eradicate the Blood Saint Child's legacy, but unfortunately, her luck was poor, and shortly after killing the Blood Saint Child, she also died mysteriously due to severe injuries.
Furthermore, after her death, her corpse went missing.
As for the Heart Moon Fox's partner, Kuimulang, he also went missing as a result, and his whereabouts have been unknown for sixteen years now.
The previous Kuimulang was originally the strongest Pet Beast Master among the Twenty-Eight Mansions and was also the successor cultivated by Zi Shu.
Since he left his post, the Vessel Soul of Kuimulang, the North Star Sky Wolf Blade, has never chosen a master again. The weapons used by the Twenty-Eight Mansions are condensed from special Qi and luck; unless an accident happens to one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions or they promote, the star weapon will not choose a new master.
Kuimulang was once the eldest disciple of Zi Shu, and he was also the successor cultivated by Zi Shu.
Zi Shu let out a long sigh.
The current task is to stop all of this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this crystal contains the top-tier legacy of the Blood Saint Child, one of the three great Saint Children of the Resurrection Society."
"It is said that this legacy was condensed using Divine Power by the Sixty-Ninth Pillar Demon God, Dankalabi, after the previous Blood Saint Child died."
"The Blood Saint Child lineage possesses three treasures: the first is the Blood Pool; as long as the Blood Pool does not die, the Blood Saint Child is immortal."
"The second is the Magic Array for summoning the Demon God; Dankalabi has always been a powerful supporter of the Blood Saint Child."
"The third is the Blood Saint Child's Blood-colored Skeleton Legion; this is a powerful force that only the Blood Saint Children of past generations could master."
"This legacy contains the construction method for the Blood Pool, the method for summoning Dankalabi, and the summoning method for the famous Blood-colored Skeleton Legion."
"Now, please place your bids; we use Alliance Coin as the unit, but we also allow equivalent value conversion using rare treasures and legacies."
The host's words caused most of the people present to fall into deep thought.
The Blood Saint Child's legacy is extremely important.
Whether it is the Resurrection Society, the Gospel Society, or the Illuminati, they all want to get the legacy into their own hands.
Even within the Resurrection Society, greed for the Blood Saint Child's legacy has arisen.
After all, obtaining the legacy means possessing the method to summon the Demon God, as well as that inexhaustible Blood-colored Skeleton Legion.
These are the foundations of the Resurrection Society.
Whoever obtains the legacy will be able to seize this heaven-sent fortune.
"Blood Knight, at all costs, even if you have to use the Divine Power Crystal, you must retrieve the Blood Saint Child's legacy."
"After retrieving the legacy, in order to prevent the Blood-colored Skeleton Legion from falling into others' hands again, I suggest that this legion be temporarily under my control."
Elder Feng's avatar suddenly erupted with terrifying pressure; he is coercing the Blood Knight.
This Blood-colored Skeleton Legion is the most critical existence within the legacy.
"I understand, Elder Feng; I will inform you of the Plane Coordinates of this legion."
Although the Blood Knight does not want to hand over this legion, she can feel the trace of killing intent in Elder Feng's eyes.
If she does not agree to Elder Feng's request, once they leave the auction house, Elder Feng will definitely find an excuse to eliminate her.
After Ye Bai heard the host's words, he suddenly remembered the matter of the Blood-colored Skeleton Legion.
The Blood-colored Skeleton Legion is an extremely important foundation for the Blood Saint Child.
Their nature is somewhat like the corpse puppet legion of a Necromancer.
Every generation of Blood Saint Child, after killing their enemies, would turn the enemies' bones into blood-colored skeletons.
The best among them even became legion commanders within the Blood-colored Skeleton Legion.
Moreover, hidden within the legion commanders of the Blood-colored Skeleton Legion is a massive secret; one must kill all these legion commanders, seize their heads, and arrange them together to find a divine tomb leading to a fallen god.
"Fifty billion Alliance Coins."
The Necromancer intends to use a Fast Blade to cut through the tangled mess.
He shouted out a number.
"Superficial; to think of taking away the legacy with only fifty billion Alliance Coins is truly too superficial."
Others laughed coldly.
Fifty billion Alliance Coins is not a high price for a top-tier legacy.
Everyone bid one after another, and soon the price broke the one-hundred-billion mark.
Of course, this one hundred billion is inflated; the bidders are using various treasures to discount the price.
At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly discovered countless brilliant rays of light gathering in the room.
These rays of light then gathered into a human shape.
After Ye Bai saw that face filled with the radiance of Divinity, he immediately realized that this was his legendary Second Senior Uncle.
A powerhouse who also awakened a Memory Palace.
The current him is simply no match for his Senior Uncle.
"Little fellow, do not panic; I just wanted to see the disciple of my little junior sister, though now it seems I have an even younger junior sister."
Chu Han said with a smile.
She stated her purpose and her identity in her very first sentence.
"Senior Uncle."
Ye Bai said respectfully.
"No one knows that it was you who killed the Blood Saint, and that you have been playing everyone in the palm of your hand."
"I didn't expect that despite your young age, you would be so calculating."
"I have a small piece of information here, and I would like to make a trade with you."
"I need a favor from you, a favor that does not violate your morals and will not put you in a difficult position, how about it?"
Chu Han smiled and smoothed her hair; although it was their first meeting, Ye Bai could feel that there was no hostility from his Senior Uncle.
"Very well." Ye Bai nodded in agreement.
"According to the results of my divination, the Haoshen Secret Realm is about to fall into chaos."
"The Haoshen Abyss will be hit by a massive tsunami, and the defensive pressure will be even more severe than at Nantianmen."
"Although I have defected to the Gospel Society, I still retain my humanity, and I cannot let my compatriots be harmed."
Chu Han wore an expression of compassion for the world.
Ye Bai immediately understood; it was very likely that his Senior Uncle was putting on a double act, and her break with Yan Country was all a performance for others to see.
Only Zhang Dashan knew about all of this, but the information his Senior Uncle mentioned was also very useful to him.
If he could prevent all of this before the chaos occurred, it would reduce the losses for Yan Country.
Chu Han knew that Ye Bai was a shrewd fellow; he seemed to have sensed something.
However, Chu Han would soon embrace the Knowledge God and become a follower of the Knowledge God.
By that time, her humanity would very likely be eroded by Divinity.
The disasters and suffering of all living beings would have nothing to do with her.
After all, gods cannot interfere with the development of natural laws, nor can they pity all living beings.
After all, in the eyes of the gods, humans are nothing more than a speck of dust.
Gods would never consider the life or death of a speck of dust.
"Oh right, Junior Nephew, since it's our first meeting and I haven't given you a gift yet, let me provide you with a piece of information as compensation."
Chu Han said with a smile.
"I know the place where the Thunder God fell; once your Pet Beast obtains the origin of the Thunder God, it can transcend the mortal world and step into the Ninth Rank."
