"Five billion."
"Six billion."
The bids continued to climb. Apart from Madam Wang and Zhao Yi's voices, there was no other sound in the entire auction hall. Even their breathing was held.
Ghost cultivators could not breathe, but if they maintained their breathing, they could exchange energy with the ghost qi outside their body at any time.
Yang Qingxuan was still immersed in the cultivation of the Five Spirits Ghost Arts, paying no attention to the outside world. His body constantly flickered with powerful soul light, showing the two colors of earth and fire.
"Nine billion!"
"Ten billion!"
But after the price reached ten billion, time stopped for a moment, and all was silent.
This price was within the expectations of many people, but when it was announced, it still caused quite a bit of shock.
Other than the Zhao Clan, the Wang, Sun, and Zhang Clans could not take out such a huge sum.
Madam Wang calmed down, took a sip of water, and calmed down. She said, "Eleven billion!"
After breaking through the ten billion threshold, everyone was not so nervous, and watched numbly as the price climbed.
Someone had secretly estimated the value of the Ancient Temple's Soul Mine, and it was around 18 billion. Everyone knew this price.
In a few moments, it climbed to ten billion. Madam Wang said unhurriedly, "Eighteen billion."
The Sun and Zhang Clans did not utter a word. Everyone knew that the three clans were joining forces to resist the Zhao Clan.
Zhao Yi said, "The Wang Clan is indeed rich and imposing."
Madam Wang snorted. "Rich and imposing, petty and petty, what does it have to do with your Zhao Clan? As a person, can't you take care of yourself first? "
Her tone became sharp. This was something that had never happened in her dealings with the Zhao family in the past. In the past, she had always swallowed her pride. However, today's confrontation had reached this point. No matter what the result was, she had already shed all pretense of cordiality. Therefore, she might as well go all out.
"Hmph, you stinking widow. Since you don't know how to appreciate favors, I don't mind destroying your family and selling you and your mother to brothels!" Zhao Yi said sinisterly.
Madam Wang shouted, "Zhao Yi, shut up! We don't know who will live and who will die today! "
Just as the two of them were at each other's throats, a large number of experts flew over from outside the auction venue, surrounding the auction venue so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. It was the Ghost cultivator martial artists from the four clans, forming a hostile confrontation.
The host chuckled and said, "Everyone is here to make a fortune. There's no need to make things like this. Harmony is the most important."
Zhao Yi snorted and said, "19 billion! If you have the ability, continue to follow me. If you don't, then you're a piece of trash that sleeps with tens of thousands of people! "
Madam Wang was so angry that her face turned pale. She trembled and said, "Zhao Yi! It's either you or me today! Twenty billion! "
Zhao Yi said, "21 billion."
Madam Wang said, "22 billion."
The people in the four private rooms were trembling with nervousness. This amount was too large. If it weren't for the three families working together, it would be impossible for them to take out such a sum.
Although Madam Wang was furious, she didn't lose her mind. When the price reached twenty-four billion, her face flushed red. She turned to look at Yang Qingxuan, but Yang Qingxuan was still cultivating. He seemed to have reached small success in the Five Spirits Ghost Art. His body blossomed with the radiance of the five elements, of which the colors of fire and earth were the most beautiful.
"How did you train so fast?"
Madam Wang was stunned. Her heart inexplicably became firm. She came back to her senses and shouted to the auction house, "26 billion!"
This was already close to the bottom line of the three families' discussion. The bottom line was 28 billion. Once it was exceeded, the three families wouldn't be able to pay. However, according to their estimation, the Zhao family's strength was around 25 billion. If it exceeded 25 billion, the Zhao family would definitely not be able to keep up.
Sure enough, when the price of 26 billion was called, the Zhao family's private room fell silent. After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Yi slowly said, "27 billion!"
There was a trace of imperceptible tremor in his calm voice. However, all existences above the Ghost Emperor level were clearly aware of it.
Wang Jun's pupils shrank. He looked at Madam Wang and nodded heavily.
Madam Wang only felt that her chest was stuffy. It was as if thousands of huge mountains were pressing down on her body. She looked at Yang Qingxuan a few times and took a few deep breaths. As if using all her strength, she called out the final price, "28 billion!"
When this price was called out, Madam Wang's imposing manner fell. Her heart was thumping violently as she waited for the final result.
This price was the price that the three families believed to be able to break even after a comprehensive analysis of the ancient temple's soul mine. Even so, the risk was huge. There might be uncontrollable factors such as unclear exploration of the mine, problems during mining, and a series of uncontrollable factors. As traditional landlords, the three families' style of doing things had always been extremely stable. However, in order to go against the Zhao family, they couldn't care less and could only stake everything on this one throw.
"Hahahaha!"
Zhao Yi laughed heartily and said jokingly, "Congratulations, Madam Wang. You've won it."
Madam Wang's body trembled. She had an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart because Zhao Yi's smile was very relaxed and sincere. There wasn't any anger in it. Instead, it was filled with ridicule and pity.
"Hehe."
At this moment, the Sun family's and Zhang family's heads' sinister laughter could be heard from the other two private rooms.
Madam Wang and everyone in the Wang family felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They were almost suffocating. They had already realized what was going on.
The host said, "The Wang family has 28 billion. Are there any higher bids?"
After a few shouts, the entire place was silent. Moreover, all the martial cultivators seemed to have sensed something. In their shock, they revealed an expression of watching a good show.
"Exciting, this is really too exciting!"
Those who were watching the show didn't mind the situation blowing up. They were all imagining various scenarios, how the Zhao family planned and how the Wang family fell into the trap step by step.
"Women are still a little stupid in the end. Hehe." Many below began to gloat.
The host said, "If that's the case, then congratulations to the Wang family. 28 billion for the ancient temple's soul mine."
Madam Wang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. She was on the verge of collapsing and couldn't stand steadily.
"Madam!"
The upper echelons of the Wang family were all abnormally furious.
Zhao Yi said, "I request the Wang family to immediately take out 28 billion top-grade soul stones for the transaction. Otherwise, it will be a fake auction."
This auction was led by a few of the strongest forces in the Ghost World. Although the scale wasn't big, they had a strong background and no one dared to fake an auction.
Because of the result of a fake auction, other than the full compensation, they would also be fined twice the price. Otherwise, it would be death.
At this moment, the Sun family's head said, "I also request the Wang family to immediately take out 28 billion top-grade soul stones for the transaction. As the owner of the Great Moon City, you should set an example and not allow any fake auctions."
The Zhang family's head said, "I also request the Wang family to immediately proceed with the transaction."
