Chapter 865: The Overlooked Person (2/2, Request Subscription)

The crowd jeered with glee, but the Joker Lord slammed a phantom hand downward—Ni Dongmei, who had just been stunned by the shattering of her strongest attack, was instantly crushed to the ground by Supernatural Strength.

Boom!!

A heavy crash—the seat beneath Ni Dongmei exploded into shards, and she herself, as if pinned by some Supernatural Strength, could not move, lying there in utter disarray.

Fang Yue turned back, gazing at Ni Dongmei's pitiful state, a strange feeling stirring in his heart.

That once-supreme being who towered above him, that powerhouse from Mo Cun who seemed beyond the bounds of normalcy, was now this weak and helpless.

Time truly is a wondrous thing.

In just over two months, I've grown to this extent.

Fang Yue could sense the trajectory of the Joker Lord's attack, its intensity, and… he had confidence he could withstand or evade it!

He, was stronger than Ni Dongmei!

And it was this glance that allowed Ni Dongmei to see Fang Yue.

Their eyes met; Ni Dongmei froze for an instant, understanding dawning instantly—her frantic struggles ceased.

She could only, for now, place her bet on Fang Yue.

For in terms of strength, she truly had no right to oppose that Joker Lord!

"What's going on? So quiet? The trouble is settled—those who wish to bid, bid now. Don't forget we're still at an auction."

With a single move, the Joker Lord swiftly subdued Ni Dongmei and silenced the entire hall.

Everyone fell silent, daring not to meet his gaze, none daring to bid.

After all, enjoying the spectacle was one thing—but if the fire came to them, trouble would be immense.

And just then… someone bid.

"One point two gold stones!"

Swish—

All eyes turned—the bidder was none other than… the Sixth Elder of the Flame Sect!

The Sixth Elder grinned—a grotesque, cruel smile!

He never imagined the very person his Flame Sect had spent countless efforts to obtain now lay quietly on the auction block—available to anyone who could pay!

One gold stone? No! Even if they had to sell every possession, the Flame Sect would obtain this tail.

With this man, the Flame Sect could devour the Jibing Sect—and become Qing Guo's sole, greatest supreme sect!

It was as if, after searching far and wide with worn-out shoes, the prize had come without effort!

No wonder the sect had leaked word, urging me to attend this auction.

It wasn't just the Evil Spirit Strange Fire—it was the Jibing Shengnyu here!

Watching the ecstatic Sixth Elder of the Flame Sect, the Joker Lord nodded in satisfaction.

The rhythm had been set.

His auction could now continue.

Next came…

"One point five gold stones!"

As the Joker Lord had hoped, Fang Yue bid again—but this time, his face was grim, as if this were the absolute limit of his wealth.

Yet… the Sixth Elder of the Flame Sect bid again—with a price so high it induced Despair!

"Five gold stones!"

What?!

The moment the price was announced, the entire hall gasped in shock!

Five gold stones? That was no mere grand gesture—even the Flame Sect would be crippled to raise such a sum.

How could this mere Sixth Elder of the Flame Sect possess such capital?

The Joker Lord eyed the Sixth Elder with suspicion, who calmly replied: "Joker Lord, rest assured—I stake my life on it. Every bid I make represents the Flame Sect's will. Any consequence will be borne by the sect. I cannot afford five gold stones—but my sect will pay them for me. You may trust me!"

"I am the Sixth Elder of the Flame Sect. At other times, I might be uncertain—but right now, I have absolute confidence and absolute authority to represent the Flame Sect in bidding this price to acquire the Jibing Shengnyu!"

Even after the Sixth Elder's words, the Joker Lord still harbored doubt.

But compared to Fang Yue, who could no longer bid, the Flame Sect was clearly the better buyer.

The only thing that puzzled the Joker Lord was that Fang Yue, who clearly could not afford to bid, slowly smiled.

That smile confused the Joker Lord—it held a touch of relief, a touch of release, as if he had let go of something and made a decision.

"What does he intend to do?"

The moment this thought surfaced in his mind, the Joker Lord's pupils sharply contracted.

Before him, Fang Yue's sclera rapidly darkened to pitch black—behind him, a black circular wheel silently rose, slowly spinning. Combined with the strange black ring already atop his head, he now radiated an eerie, terrifying aura.

A long-absent pressure, emanating from Fang Yue, surged toward him!

"Possession?! This kid…"

The Joker Lord's expression shifted slightly.

Everyone present were prominent figures from Jingcheng, gathered at the auction—if Fang Yue unleashed chaos and slaughtered indiscriminately, his job would be ruined, and his master would punish him!

His gaze turned icy; the Joker Lord erupted with murderous intent, ready to obliterate Fang Yue in an instant.

Yet just as their murderous auras clashed, about to explode—

Fang Yue's murderous intent suddenly halted, as if he had witnessed something unimaginable, freezing in place.

The Joker Lord instantly noticed: Fang Yue's gaze was not fixed on him—but behind him.

Behind me?

What's behind me?

Isn't it just a captive Jibing Shengnyu…

Hmph!!

The Clown Tower Master's thoughts had only just reached this point when a bloodied hand suddenly burst from his chest.

The bloodied hand was slender and exquisite, pale and tender like a newborn doll.

Only now, that little hand was stained with fresh red blood, and in its grip… was his own heart!

The blood vessels on the heart were still connected to the organs of his body, but pain and terror had already surged into the Clown Tower Master's heart.

He lowered his head, his mouth opening in terror and despair as if to say something, but the moment his lips parted…

Boom!!

His heart was crushed outright, shattering into a mess of scraps across the ground.

Thud.

The once-mighty, briefly glorious Cloud-tier powerhouse, the Clown Tower Master, collapsed silently to the ground like that, the light fading from his eyes as his life left him.

At the same moment, a languid voice slowly rang out.

"Ah ah… I don't recall being worth only 1 gold stone, Yese Liming."

The owner of the voice was on the smaller side, with the figure of an ordinary, cute young girl.

But her eyes were extremely unusual.

Her left eye was icy as frost.

Her right eye was blazing as fire.

Left eye blue, right eye red, as if a deity wielding ice and fire, standing above the world!

And those long, pale legs, like they were carved from ice, were especially striking.

She was none other than today's auction's grand finale, the Extreme Ice Sect's treasured Jibing Shengnyu — Tail!

Also known as…

"Qi Ba Jiu Daren!" Fang Yue trembled all over with excitement.

"Qi Ba Jiu Daren!" Ni Dongmei on the ground, her vision blurred, tears streaming down.
