Chapter 800 Treasure Map Fragment_1

"Master, should we make a bid?" Ji Lingtian asked, glancing at Xu Ruobai.

"No need, let others vie for it. We can just reap the benefits without lifting a finger!" Xu Ruobai shook his head and declared.

Meanwhile, members of Tianzong, like Yang Jian, and those from Elixir Sect, such as Mu Sen, were all intently focusing on the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.

"Father, do you think this Wordless Heavenly Scripture is real? Does it really contain the Cultivation Technique and Martial Techniques left by a Controlling Qi Realm expert?"

In another private room, Cao Longxiang spoke with a slightly furrowed brow.

"What Wordless Heavenly Scripture? This is nothing but a blank piece of paper! It’s a complete scam," Cao Jianjia remarked disdainfully.

"Since the Wordless Heavenly Scripture exists, it’s not baseless. Perhaps it really does exist; it’s just that we can’t see through it," Cao Tian said, a sly gleam in his eyes akin to that of an old fox, while Wu Hen’s gaze flickered similarly.

"Ten Superior grade Spirit Stones and an additional ten mid-grade Spirit Stones!"

Yang Jian was the first to call out a bid, his voice echoing in the room.

At this moment, however, the people in the auction hall did not rush to bid. Instead, they all turned their eyes toward Ye Luo, who was seated there.

Clearly, in their minds, it was possible that Ye Luo, the unfamiliar young man, might join the bidding again.

After all, he had unabashedly joined the bidding the previous two times and might do so again, which even made Yang Jian stare coldly at Ye Luo.

However, Ye Luo simply sat there quietly, whispering to a beautiful woman beside him, showing no intention of participating in the bidding at all.

"It looks like this guy has finally come to his senses!"

"What does it matter if he’s come to his senses? He’s already like meat on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered. I’m afraid that as soon as he steps out of this auction, he will die without a trace left."

Many people around were discussing, obviously already aware of the dire fate awaiting Ye Luo.

"All right, since nobody else is bidding, then this Wordless Heavenly Scripture belongs to the guest in private room number 32," Xuan Ruoyan declared with a final strike of the gavel.

With a charming and seductive smile, Xuan Ruoyan began, "Now for the next item, I’m sure everyone is clear about what it is, so I won’t waste words. Please look!"

Xuan Ruoyan revealed the fourth of the five auction items—a palm-sized white map fragment that was clearly a piece of the treasure map sought by all Hidden Sects for the Holy Sky Alliance’s treasure.

During its prime, the Holy Sky Alliance hid most of its Cultivation Techniques, secret manuals, Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, Elixirs, and weapons, creating what are now known as the treasures of the Holy Sky Alliance.

Originally, countless Hidden Sect powers coveted these treasures, and a considerable part of the reason for the battle that led to the Alliance’s downfall was due to this trove.

A hundred years ago, the Holy Sky Alliance almost unified all the Hidden Sects, and they controlled a third of the sects’ cultivation resources, which eventually became this trove of treasures. One can only imagine how rich this trove was.

If a person were to acquire these treasures, not only could they rapidly become a peerless powerhouse, but they could also use them to build a powerful force.

The key to acquiring these treasures was the five map fragments left by Sheng Tianyang. Once assembled, these pieces would reveal the location of the treasures, and this was what the many Hidden Sect powers sought after.

And at this moment, the fragment on the auction stage was one of the five pieces needed to find this trove of treasures. Instantly, the entire venue fell silent, all eyes intently focused on the fragment up for auction.

Even though it was just a fragment, it attracted countless gazes—after all, this was different from the previously auctioned fractured cyan jade piece. Though both were incomplete,

the treasure was confirmed to exist, and it held immense significance for them. As for what might happen upon reconstituting that piece, no one knew, so it didn’t inspire the same fervor.

Whoosh!

Just then, a masked figure in a black robe burst forth, exuding the formidable aura of someone in the Hua Yuan Realm, charging towards the fragment on the auction stage, intent on forcibly seizing it.

This person’s strength had also reached the fourth level of the Hua Yuan Realm, overpowering even the four Hua Yuan Realm guards stationed around the auction stage.

However, Ye Luo knew that this Hua Yuan Realm master was a member of the Demon Palace, his body harboring the terrifying Demonic Qi, simply concealed from view.

The crowd at the auction saw this and their expressions changed, taken aback that someone dared to make such a brazen attempt. Many masters began to mobilize their strength, clearly ready to intervene. No matter what, the fragment could not fall into others’ hands.

Yet a portion of the crowd remained remarkably calm, as if they weren’t worried that the fragment related to the Holy Sky Alliance treasures would be taken.

"Die!"

Just as the Demon Palace’s Hua Yuan Realm fourth-level power was about to reach the auction stand and take the fragment, a voice, sonorous as the tolling of dusk and dawn bells, sounding like the voice of a deity, thundered through the auction venue, causing all ordinary people present to feel their blood qi roil and their faces to pale, a tinge of fear arising in their hearts.

Splat!

The next second, the Demon Palace’s Hua Yuan Realm fourth-level adept trembled, blood spouted from his mouth, and he collapsed limply to the ground, dead with blood flowing from all orifices, utterly devoid of life.

Witnessing this miraculous scene, many onlookers were in shock. With just one word, a powerful Hua Yuan Realm adept had been slain. To those ordinary people, such a feat seemed reminiscent of divine Immortals.

However, those true Hidden Sect masters understood that it had been a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse who had used the power of the soul to shatter the soul of the Hua Yuan Realm fourth-level master, which is why he had died so suddenly.

That is to say, behind the scenes of the auction, a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse was stationed here, indicating the immense strength of the force, something that Ye Luo had already known.

Previously, his Clairvoyant Eye had scanned and detected a master hidden within the auction that he could not see through, undoubtedly a Spirit Sea Realm master. He just hadn’t expected that this individual was connected to the auction, this force growing ever more mysterious.

Soon, the corpse was carried away by the auction staff, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, now the bidding officially begins," Xuan Ruoyan said, her expression unchanged and still wearing that captivating seductive smile.

"Twenty superior-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Twenty-five superior-grade Spirit Stones and two millennia-old Spiritual Medicines!"

"Thirty superior-grade Spirit Stones and three millennia-old Spiritual Medicines!"

...

In the blink of an eye, various Hidden Sect forces no longer held back and engaged fiercely in the competition, without any hesitation, readily offering vast amounts of Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Stones, and Elixirs in exchange.
