Chapter 255

The women nodded, then their figures flickered slightly before vanishing from the spot alongside Xu Chen.

PS: 2 updates!!! Wan.

The Tianling Auction House is located within a gongdian of the Tianling Palace.

This gongdian is resplendent with gold and jade, magnificent and imposing beyond measure.

Inside the main hall, pillars stand upright, supporting the gongdian.

Upon the pillars, a crimson-red bird exists, faintly radiating a scorching hue.

Upon closer inspection, one would know this is the Vermilion Bird.

Every pillar of the entire gongdian bears the mark of the Vermilion Bird.

Xu Chen looked up and saw only that the interior of this gongdian could accommodate five thousand people.

The reason it is five thousand and not fifty thousand is because entry requires five hundred supreme-grade Spirit Stones.

Such a massive amount of Spirit Stones is not something anyone can afford.

Of course, Shangguan Luoyun can.

Therefore, Xu Chen entered the venue with ease and obtained a VIP seat.

Xu Chen and the others sat in the third row of seats, waiting for the auction to begin.

Xu Chen subsequently discovered that Ye Xuan had also arrived.

However, this one who loved playing the pig to eat the tiger was not in the VIP section but at the back.

He remembered that in his past life, Ye Xuan possessed roughly three thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones.

Immediately after, people from major powers arrived in a steady stream.

Taichu Sacred Land, Wuji Holy Land, Tianzun Dynasty, Immortal Empire.

Five Poisons Sect, Wan Gu Sect, Demon Sect, Wudang Mountain, Jinshan Temple, Heavenly Sword Sect.

Jingang Gate, Qixiu Workshop, Thousand Poison Workshop, and other sects all had people arrive.

Every leader present was either at the Ninth Grade Perfection or a Martial Saint.

"Hmph! Xu Chen, you actually dare to come, and you even brought your women."

At this moment, a cold sneer suddenly rang out within the orderly auction venue.

In an instant, nearly everyone's gaze turned toward the person who spoke.

Xu Chen also gazed intently and found that this person was none other than Yang Hao.

Similarly, when Yang Hao received attention, Xu Chen received the same attention.

Except for those from sects who knew Xu Chen's identity, most people of the Dark Dragon Abyss did not know Xu Chen.

"That speaker is the former Saint Son of Taichu Sacred Land, Yang Hao, but who is this Xu Chen?"

"Former Saint Son? When was he ousted? I don't know this Xu Chen either."

"Just a short while ago, Brother Yang Hao broke through to Martial Saint, and Yang Hao was kicked out."

"However, regarding this Xu Chen, I truly do not know."

"You are a bit ignorant; this is the Young Palace Master of Jixia Xuegong, whose name has been very prominent recently."

"Just a Young Palace Master; at most, his status equals that of a Saint Son, nothing special."

Many people of the Dark Dragon Abyss did not pay too much attention to Xu Chen.

After all, countless Saint Sons have died in the Dark Dragon Abyss; what could a mere Young Palace Master of Jixia Xuegong do?

Could he possibly cause a scene at this auction? Xu Chen raised his eyes now, looked at Yang Hao, and said indifferently, "A mere former Saint Son, a mere existence of the seventh or eighth grade, how dare you speak?" Yang Hao gritted his teeth, then sneered, "Do you want to snatch the Formless Holy Spirit Fruit?" Xu Chen very much wanted to say he had no money and could not snatch it.

But he was a villain who was extremely arrogant in his past life, so he naturally would not say such words. Therefore, Xu Chen said indifferently, "No matter who comes today, this Formless Holy Spirit Fruit is mine. Even if an Immortal Emperor comes, he cannot stop me; I said so."

"Hua!"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd at the scene immediately erupted in uproar.

This guy is so arrogant!

Yang Hao laughed out loud, "With the foundation of your Jixia Xuegong, can you compete against the two Holy Lands or the Immortal Empire!"

In his words, there was a full sense of amusement.

Clearly, in his view, Xu Chen today would inevitably make a complete fool of himself. Xu Chen sneered, "To have to compete to obtain the Formless Holy Spirit Fruit is truly worthless!

Today I will sit here, and at that time, someone will naturally present the Formless Holy Spirit Fruit with both hands.

You, a frog at the bottom of a well, how could you know the power of me, Xu Chen.

Within the Dark Dragon Abyss, when I, Xu Chen, wish to seize something, no one dares to contend with me." As he spoke, his face was full of an unyielding and arrogant expression, and his attitude was arrogant to the extreme.

It was as if he did not place anyone present in his eyes at all.

Everyone's mouths opened slightly; Woah, they had seen arrogance, but they had truly never seen such arrogance.

Know that among the people present at the scene, there were at least ten Martial Saint experts.

You, a mere Young Palace Master, dare to ignore a Martial Saint?

Yang Hao's lips also twitched slightly; this bastard was truly becoming more and more arrogant.

But oddly enough, he truly did not dare to say such words.

After all, if he said it and failed to do it, Taichu Sacred Land would lose all face.

He finally sneered, "Wait until you fail to do it, and you will become the laughingstock of the world." Xu Chen said indifferently, "If I do it, then you will be the laughingstock."

Yang Hao sneered, "Go dream your spring and autumn dreams; who would auction the Formless Holy Spirit Fruit for you? Hilarious..."

Xu Chen was too lazy to reply; anyway, his act of showing off was complete.

Whoever provoked him, he would show off; this was correct.

Yang Hao's elder brother, Yang Han, narrowed his eyes slightly; this Xu Chen was so funny, it seemed he was not his great enemy. Having thought so, he turned his head to look at Luo Qianshang, Di Qiankun, and Zhao Wuji, revealing a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

These two should be his great enemies.

Today's fruit would surely be obtained by one of those four. "Bang!"

While Yang Han was thinking, someone on the auction stage had already struck the bronze gong.

The crisp sound rang out, and everyone's gaze gathered on the auction stage.

Then, an old man slowly walked out.

He wore a smile: "I am indeed the auctioneer for this occasion, Tianling Palace Elder Murong Bian, greetings to you all."

The crowd nodded—this Murong Bian was a veteran auctioneer, and everyone in Dark Dragon Abyss knew him well. Murong Bian continued: "There are many items to auction today, but I know that everyone present is here for the Faceless Holy Spirit Fruit.

So I won't waste words. The first item we auction today is the Faceless Holy Spirit Fruit.

As per the rules, five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones to start, with a minimum increase of fifty top-grade Spirit Stones each time. Begin." The moment the words fell, the crowd immediately erupted.

Good lord, bringing out the grand finale right away—no appetizer?

Soon, the major sects began competing with their bids. Five Poisons Sect spoke first: "Five hundred fifty!" Wan Gu Sect followed closely: "Six hundred!" Jingang Gate said coolly: "Six hundred and fifty!"

For a moment, the major sects fought extremely fiercely.

When the bid reached one thousand, Taichu Holy Land spoke up: "One thousand one hundred!" Immortal Empire's Di Qiankun said coolly: "One thousand two hundred." Tianzun Dynasty's Luo Qianshang also said: "One thousand five hundred." The crowd smacked their lips—damn, adding three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones at once? Loaded!

Yang Han and Di Qiankun frowned, about to bid again.

But unexpectedly, within the auction hall, a crisp, pleasant female voice suddenly rang out: "Two thousand!"

At these words, the crowd was completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap! Which spendthrift woman is this, adding five hundred at once?

Thinking this, they all turned their heads to look at the speaker.
