"Be careful. This is the City Lord's Mansion of Jingcheng. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll kick you out!"
The elder in brocade robe was very clear that he had to stop them at this time. Otherwise, there would be a fierce battle. Especially, he had sensed that there was an expert at the God Ancestor level in the thirtieth room. This was not a joke. He had to be careful when it came to experts at the God Ancestor level.
The old man's shout showed Jingcheng's confidence, but he did have this confidence. City Lord Jingrui was the overlord ranked 44th. He was qualified to say such words. Even the Sword Forging Villa and the Taiqing Sect were not qualified to say that Jingcheng couldn't do it.
Overlord level forces should abide by the unwritten rules and respect each other. Even overlords had to abide by the rules, let alone ordinary forces.
That was why the Gan Yu Martial Uncle only said "endure". Wasn't he angry? No, he was very angry, but he knew that he couldn't deal with this big matter in Jingcheng. He had to leave Jingcheng.
"The auction continues!" The old man in the brocade robe shouted. The auction returned to normal. The atmosphere of the confrontation between the two sides also disappeared.
"1.4 billion."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, room number five made a sound again. The jadeite stone lit up. The Flower of Glory was indeed worth these divine coins. Even if it was a bit higher, it wouldn't be a loss. Using billions of divine coins to exchange for a future overlord was the most worthwhile thing.
"1.5 billion." Room 23 also made a sound for the first time. They had announced that they were bidding for the Flower of Glory, and they had only made a sound now. Clearly, they were under a lot of pressure, but in the end, their rationality could not suppress their desires. The Flower of Glory was too attractive.
Even if they failed in the end, they still had to try.
"1.6 billion."
In the hall, the master of the Bai family shouted again. The Bai family was rich. It could even be said that in the entire Jingcheng, besides Lord Jing Rui, the Bai family was the richest. Who could compete with them?
Since he wanted the Flower of Glory, how could he give up so quickly?
His actions also attracted a lot of attention. They began to speculate whether the master of the Bai family was courting death. How dare he compete with these forces? Wasn't he afraid of being exterminated?
But this was other people's business. They were just discussing it. They didn't have the right to get involved.
The auction continued.
"1.63 billion." The sound of bidding came from room number five again. The voice was slightly low, and it sounded like a middle-aged man. He shouldn't be too old.
"1.65 billion." The representative in room number 23 continued to bid. It seemed like he didn't want to give up.
"1.7 billion." The head of the Bai family continued to bid.
"1.8 billion."
Suddenly, sounds could be heard from pavilion # 7. After a long time, they had once again started bidding for the Glory Flower. All of this was for the sake of the Glory Flower, for the sake of becoming a future overlord.
1.8 billion, 1.8 billion. At that moment, most of the influential groups had already withdrawn from the competition. For example, Lin Feng and the representative of Gan Yu had already lost the qualification to compete. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't compete.
Besides, Lin Feng always felt that it was better to rely on his own efforts to become an Overlord. He didn't need to use those dishonest methods. Even if he could become an Overlord in the shortest time possible, Lin Feng wouldn't use the Glory Flower.
At most, he was just curious about the Glory Flower, that was all.
After 1.8 billion, nobody else bid anymore. That was the limit of the influential groups. After all, no matter how much money they had, they had to spend it wisely. There were still many treasures to be auctioned, so they couldn't afford to waste money on the Glory Flower. If they missed out on something even more important, it would be a huge loss.
In the end, the representative of the seventh room received the Glory Flower. Then, a disciple of the mayor's government took the Glory Flower to the seventh room.
The seventh room remained silent. They were obviously admiring the Glory Flower. Unfortunately, the other influential groups didn't have the opportunity to see the Glory Flower.
"Next is the last treasure of the first half of this auction. After this treasure, we will have a day off. On this day, you can have a good rest in Jingcheng and stroll around. We will continue the auction tomorrow."
"Please, the fourth item, the Beautiful Landscape."
Following the old man's shout, four disciples from the City Lord's Mansion carried a ten-meter-long, six-meter-wide ink painting to the rostrum. Then, they placed the painting on the stage and left.
The old man in embroidered robes pointed at the ink wash painting behind him. The scenery outlined by the ink wash painting was peerlessly beautiful. A beautiful sun was about to set, but it dyed the river below the mountain red, as if a scorching sun had drilled into the river. The towering mountains were tens of thousands of meters high, and the winding paths were filled with dense forests and tall bamboos.
There was a pavilion built on top of it, and there were four stone stools. One of the stone stools was empty, while the other three seats were occupied by different people. There was a middle-aged man in ragged clothes, a handsome young master holding an iron fan, and an old man with long hair that reached his shoulders.
The three of them seemed to be contemplating something, causing those who saw it to feel anxious. This painting seemed to possess some sort of magical power. The more one looked at it, the more sleepy they felt, making them want to dive into it.
The painting was from the Cyan Phoenix Sky, so the feeling wasn't that strong. However, some of the people in the hall had already fallen asleep, as if their souls had been taken away.
Lin Feng glanced at it and realized that it wasn't simple. It wasn't just an ink painting. It seemed like there was a real world inside. Lin Feng's space-time strength was at its maximum level, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Therefore, it was even more difficult for other people to discover its secrets.
"The Silken Mountains and Rivers will belong to the fated. The starting bid is 500 million." The old man in the embroidered robe shouted out the starting price, and the entire hall was immediately overturned by the clamor.
"What? Five hundred million for such a lousy painting? How is that possible? "
"Could there be a mistake? How can such a lousy thing be worth 500 million? It's just an ink painting, isn't it? "
"I don't understand. Maybe the representatives of the influential groups in the pavilion can see what's different about it?" Many people were hoping that would happen. They didn't have the fortune to enjoy the painting.
Many people didn't know where this ink-and-wash painting came from and what it was used for. Only three people knew its rumors or allusions. It was a pity that no one in Jingcheng knew the allusions of this painting.
But because they didn't know about it, many people couldn't bid for it. They were scared that they would end up with a useless treasure.
Song Chou Jiu glanced at Lin Feng. He was waiting for Lin Feng's reaction. If Lin Feng was interested, Song Chou Jiu wouldn't hesitate to bid, if Lin Feng wasn't interested, Song Chou Jiu Jiu would just sit there calmly.
Lin Feng was looking at the beautiful mountain and river painting, but in the end, he looked calm and serene. Song Chou Jiu thought that Lin Feng didn't have any expectations for the painting, therefore, he didn't want to participate in the auction.
A lot of time had passed, but the hall was still in an awkward silence. The Splendid Landscape was left to the cold, with no one interested in it. Many people were preparing to leave and rest well, preparing for the next auction.
Many representatives of the influential groups in the pavilion didn't want to bid either. The representative from the twenty-fifth pavilion looked at the thirtieth pavilion, which was Lin Feng's pavilion. He was thinking that if Lin Feng bid, he would bid as loudly as he could.
Hmph, I don't believe that I can't kill you!
But after waiting for a long time, Lin Feng's pavilion was still as calm as before. He didn't want to bid.
In the end, they had no choice but to announce that the Beautiful Landscape Painting wasn't going to be auctioned. Nobody wanted to bid, so it went back to the mayor of Jing Rui.
"Alright, since nobody wants to bid for the Beautiful Landscape Painting, the first half of the auction is over. Everybody, take a break and we'll continue tomorrow."
Rumbling sounds rang out, and everyone in the hall stood up. Their buttocks left their chairs and walked down the second floor, leaving the rear hall of the City Lord. They did not dare to stay a minute longer.
The representatives of the pavilions also left the hall. They didn't want others to know who they were. The representatives who had won the auction had to stay on the VIP stage and wait for the payment.
Song Chou Jiu and the others went to the VIP stage. The representative from the seventh pavilion also went to the VIP stage.
Lin Feng and Song Chou Jiu saw the representative from the seventh pavilion. He was a muscular man, three meters tall. He was even taller than Zong Hu. He was with four muscular men, all of whom were at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm.
And this burly man was an expert at the God Ancestor Realm. Outsiders could not tell what level he was at. After all, only a few people in the Battle World decided the God Ancestor Realm. Most people only knew about the God Ancestor Realm.
"Be careful. He's an officer of the Force Field. He's a strong cultivator of the God Ancestor level. He's very powerful!"
Said Song Chou Jiu to everyone in a low voice. Lin Feng nodded to show that he understood. He then looked at Zong Hu and noticed that he had a strange expression on his face. He was stupefied.
"Zong Hu, what's wrong?"
"I, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Zong Hu reacted and forced a smile. But he still looked at the muscular man with an ugly expression.
Lin Feng remembered that Song Chou Jiu had introduced Zong Hu to him. He said that Zong Hu came from the Force Field and later went to the Barbarian Field to become one of his subordinates.
Since he came from the Force Field, he had to leave the Force Field. Maybe he had some difficulties.
As for this burly man, perhaps he knew him!
