"That old man is Lie Shan Family's guest, Guru Song Qing!"
"He actually appeared in this sort of small auction?"
"That's right, that old monster is personally guarding this strange item. Old monster Song Qing has been Lie Shan Family's guest for many years, and his power is unfathomable. His Sealing Arts are also incredibly shocking.
"I heard that someone from Tai Ci Family was willing to pay a huge price to invite Old Monster Song Qing to leave Lie Shan Family and become their guest, but he was politely rejected."
As the discussions caused by the old man's appearance rose in the auction hall, the old man with the big build lifted his head and cast a cold glance at the entire place. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the broken statue floating in front of him.
"Since most of you know me and can be considered as my friends, then allow me to give all of you a word of advice. If … you don't recognize this item, then do not place a bid so easily." Old Song Qing only said this one sentence before he fell silent. He stood there like a small hill.
However, if he had not said those words, then perhaps the appearance of the statue would not have attracted too much attention. However, once he said those words, all the people in the auction hall immediately focused their gazes on the statue.
"Just what is this item?"
"Could it be the statue of an ancient God?!"
"That's not right. I can't sense that ancient presence from the statue, but the ancient presence coming from it is a little unfathomable."
"How dare you ask for a starting bid of 800,000 crystals for this statue? It's not worth it at all!"
The sounds of discussions immediately spread through the auction hall like a buzz. In fact, there were even some voices of doubt that rose in the air, causing the thousands of people in the auction hall to fall into a state of slight chaos.
"I cannot say whether this item is worth it or not. My fellow Daoists, if there are any among you who recognize this item, then even if you have several tens of millions of crystals, you will still choose to buy it. If you don't, then you will not bring out even a single crystal.
"That is why you can place your bids now." The auctioneer from Lie Shan Family had a relaxed expression on his face. When he spoke with a smile, the auction hall gradually fell silent, but no one placed a bid.
Su Ming stood beside the illusory wall in the room and stared at the statue with a dumbfounded expression. He did not know whether the other people recognized this item, but he could tell what it was with just one glance.
The ancient presence on it belonged to the Berserkers. This statue was clearly a statue of the God of Berserkers!
"Lie Shan Family always has some strange things. What is this?" Yu Chen Hai frowned as he looked at the statue by the side. Even Yu Rou was staring at it attentively at that moment, but she still could not recognize it.
"This item is not bad. Although this old man can't recognize it, it's good to have a look at it at home. One million crystal stones." After a moment of silence, a hoarse voice came from the auction hall.
That voice did not echo in the hall filled with thousands of people. Instead, it came from the rooms around Su Ming. Once it appeared, it immediately caught the attention of the cultivators in the hall.
Of another voice rang in the hall. "Su Ming said. Another voice." One. "Another of of of another, of Of Shan
"One million six hundred thousand Spar!"
"Su Ming.
Very soon, another voice joined the bidding. As three people appeared to compete for the item, no matter what it was, it immediately caused the cultivators in the auction hall to become excited. All three voices came from the VIP rooms above. All those who had a room in the auction hall belonged to the families in Black Ink Planet, unlike the ones in the hall, who were mostly rogue cultivators from Black Ink Planet or outsiders.
There was a secret chamber in Lie Shan Family's auction hall as they bid against each other. At that moment, there was an old man sitting cross-legged in that chamber, and behind him were around ten men who were clearly members of Lie Shan Family based on their figures. They stood respectfully in front of him.
One of them was naturally Lie Shan Kang Jiu.
They did not speak and were all looking at the illusory screen of light before the old man. The entire auction hall was displayed there, and even their voices could be heard.
The old man had a head full of white hair. He wore a long, dark blue robe, and his face was covered in wrinkles. He sat there quietly and looked at the screen of light before him. A decaying presence spread out from his body, as if he had already become incredibly old.
The air around him distorted faintly, and as it distorted, it continuously shattered and reassembled itself. In fact, if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that the area around the old man was distorting and shattering … was because of wind!
There was an invisible layer of wind around the old man, and it was continuously swirling around him.
"Elder Feng, I've added the statue of the God of Berserkers to the auction hall as per your orders." The air behind the old man swayed as if it had been torn apart, and a man walked out from within. That man looked to be in his fifties, and there was a thick, murderous aura around his entire body. He took a huge step forward and bowed respectfully to the old man before speaking in a low voice.
The old man nodded. His eyes were still fixed on the auction hall, as if he was waiting for something.
After a long while, the bid for the statue in the auction hall had already reached four million something crystals, but the person the old man was waiting for still did not say anything about wanting to buy it.
"Kang Jiu …" The old man's voice was ancient, and there was a unique hoarseness to it. In fact, there was even an accent that was different from those in Black Ink Planet.
"Elder Feng." Lie Shan Kang Jiu immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply towards the old man. His expression was incredibly respectful. This old man's status was second only to the Progenitor in the family, and the countless years he had contributed to the family had caused his status to be incredibly high. There were also some legends about this old man in the family, which made the family members hold him in great respect.
"Tell me in detail what you felt at that time," the old man mumbled softly.
"Yes!" Lie Shan Kang Jiu sucked in a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"... Before him, I felt as if I was facing the Progenitor. The blood veins in my body seemed to have gone out of control, and even my Berserker Mark was about to show itself. More importantly, when I faced him, I had the urge to worship him.
This thought came from my soul, as if … "Lie Shan Kang Jiu's words came to a halt.
"As if what?" The old man turned his head around and looked at Lie Shan Kang Jiu. When the old man looked at him, wind immediately appeared out of nowhere around Lie Shan Kang Jiu.
"It was as if … I don't know how to describe it. I just felt that when I was before him, I didn't want to put up any form of resistance. I would believe in his words without any hesitation." Lie Shan Kang Jiu lowered his head with a wry smile. The dozen something members of the Lie Shan Family behind him immediately had solemn expressions on their faces.
The old man fell silent. He turned his head around and continued watching everything in the auction hall while mumbling quietly in his heart.
'Is he someone from our homeland..? Then he will definitely recognize the statue of the God of Berserkers.
'If he is, then that's good, but if he isn't and has practiced some sort of cultivation method that can suppress us Berserkers, then … forget about the fact that you're just a guest of the Yu Family, even if you're one of the Progenitors of the Yu Family who has recently been freed, even if you're the Apostle of the Sun God and Moon God, even if you're a member of the three great families and have the old men from the three great families protecting you, you will definitely die in Black Ink Planet!
'There is nothing in Black Ink Planet that we Lie Shan Family cannot do! ' The old man narrowed his eyes, and a hint of killing intent shone in them. If anyone else knew what he was thinking, they would definitely be incredibly shocked.
Because he clearly knew everything that had happened in the Yu Family, but this matter was the greatest secret in the Yu Family. Most of the family members did not know about it, but the old man clearly knew about it in great detail.
In fact, based on the words in his heart, he seemed to be looking down on the three great families. Then … was the Lie Shan Family … a middle-sized family in the eyes of the cultivators in Black Ink Planet truly just a middle-sized family …?
While the old man was thinking about this, the auction hall in the illusory screen of light suddenly fell silent.
"My young master wants this statue." A very beautiful voice reverberated in the auction hall, and a woman walked out from one of the rooms that belonged to the various families in the auction hall.
That woman had a veil over her face, but even so, she still possessed an unparalleled beauty that could make people's hearts pound. As she walked out, the area instantly fell silent, but numerous gazes instantly gathered on her body.
"6,000,000 crystals. Pack this up properly and give it to me." That unparalleled beauty was Yu Rou. Her expression was elegant, and when she stood on the platform, a storage bag appeared in her hand. She pushed it forward lightly, and the storage bag immediately floated towards the auctioneer from Lie Shan Family.
The auctioneer was stunned. Once he caught the storage bag, he instinctively cast a glance at the guest of his family, Guru Song Qing, and saw that Song Qing's expression was incredibly solemn as he stared at the woman.
"This is …" The Lie Shan Family member hesitated for a moment. At that moment, a lackadaisical voice suddenly came from the rooms belonging to the other families. There was even a teasing tone to that voice.
"My lady, I'll offer 7,000,000 crystals."
"8,000,000 crystals," Yu Rou said flatly without raising her head.
"Haha, alright, I'll offer 9,000,000 crystals." Laughter came from the lackadaisical voice, but there was a hint of lust in that laughter as it echoed in the air for a long time.
Once the price appeared, the cultivators in the auction hall put on expressions as if they wanted to watch a good show. Occasionally, some people would lift their heads to look at the room where the man's voice came from, but all of them would immediately lower their heads.
"There aren't many people who would dare to compete against me, Tai Ci Yong, in Black Water City. You're pretty good, girl. I'll offer 10,000,000 crystals, but I'll give you a chance as well. If you offer 15,000,000 crystals, then I won't compete against you." The lackadaisical voice chuckled softly.
"20,000,000 crystals." What answered him was Yu Rou. She did not lift her head, as if she was ignoring him. There was a hint of coldness in her gentle voice.
Once that price was placed, the entire auction hall immediately burst into a commotion.
"Alright, I'll give the statue to your master. The price is 20,000,000 crystals, and you, girl. Bring me the Crystal Stone and this little girl. This Young Master wants to enjoy himself here. " As the laughter echoed in the air, a piercing howl immediately came from one of the rooms above. Two figures shot out in a flash and charged towards Yu Rou. (To be continued.
