There were many people in the hall, numbering in the thousands, but everyone's attention was focused on the front, so no one noticed Xia Fei.
Xia Fei was on the third floor, and through the alloy fence, he could clearly see the temporary stage below. It seemed that a meeting was about to take place here.
There was an undercurrent amidst the silence. These warriors were all very wary of each other. It was obvious that they were not all in the same group. What were they doing here? Xia Fei was curious, so he hid in a dark corner and quietly waited.
Suddenly, Xia Fei saw a pair of very familiar eyes in the crowd. Though the head and face were covered by a gray cloak, he could still tell that it was Ye Zishui.
Strange. Why would the young lady of the Venus Evernight Clan come alone into this desolate star region? She did not even have a bodyguard with her?
Xia Fei was observing Ye Zishui, but Ye Zishui was staring at another person in the distance. Xia Fei followed Ye Zishui's gaze and saw that it was a young man dressed in luxurious clothes, with two tall bodyguards by his side. This person was Xiao Xiao, the seventh young master of the Xiao family.
Xia Fei did not recognize the seventh young master. Back when they were on Mammoth, the two of them had never met. Instead, he had gotten to know Ye Zishui by chance. Unfortunately, in Ye Zishui's mind, Xia Fei, who controlled the one-armed Starry, had always been the seventh young master. In short, it had been a very messy journey with many misunderstandings.
Xia Fei frowned, feeling that the situation was a little tricky. He and Ye Zishui had no relationship with the Ye family. He had cured Ye Yun's illness, and Ye Yun had helped Xia Fei deal with Blue Crystal. They were not exactly close, either. At most, they were just acquaintances who would greet each other.
The atmosphere here was very strange, and a serious conflict could break out at any time. And Ye Zishui had clearly sneaked out from her home for some reason. Xia Fei would save her. Or would he just watch her die?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a commotion in the crowd.
"Cai Kangnian! Get out here! "
"Where's the promised grade 7 black soul tool?! Didn't you want to auction it? Time's up! I want to see it! "
"Everyone here is from the underworld and the legal side. You can't afford to waste anyone's time! Let's get started! Let's see what a grade 7 soul tool looks like! "
Xia Fei was stunned. A grade 7 soul tool! Today, they were actually auctioning a precious seventh tier black soul weapon! No wonder so many people had gathered at Cai Kangnian's dock. This was the reason!
Cai Kangnian had once discussed the issue of the Black Soul Tool with Fuchen. Such an item would not normally be publicly traded, and there was no one who would make such a big fuss like Cai Kangnian. Everyone knew about it. What he did was clearly against the rules.
Cai Kangnian had taken out a Rank 7 Black Soul Tool for public auction. No matter what the result was, he would be placed in the eye of the storm. After all, this was something that could not see the light of day. From now on, both the underworld and the underworld would have their eyes on him. This was rather unwise.
After all, there were very few Spirit Masters these days, and high grade Soul Tools were sought after like ducks by the various large factions. Who didn't want to obtain a high level soul armament to increase their strength? Many famous Spirit Masters couldn't even get a suitable soul armament, and they were already red with impatience!
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Cai Kangnian finally appeared. He took a few steps onto the stage, looking rather impressive as a Soul Eater, but his eyes were filled with unease.
"Silence!" Cai Kangnian shouted loudly. The crowd became silent in an instant. Everyone was rubbing their fists and rubbing their palms.
Looking around, Cai Kangnian slowly said, "Today, I was entrusted by a friend to transfer a Soul Tool here. I'm sure everyone knows about this. As for the method of transfer, it's a little special. I'm just a middleman, doing the job for someone's money."
When Cai Kangnian said that he was doing the job for someone's money, his eyebrows involuntarily twitched a few times. His voice was also a little suppressed, as if this was not his own idea and had been pressured by the higher-ups, so he had no choice but to do it.
Black Soul Tools were a taboo for Spirit Masters. Because of its great destructive power, it was forbidden to make and use it. How could a master who could make a grade 7 Black Soul Tool be something a marginal Soul Eater like Cai Kangnian could resist? If there really was such a person threatening Cai Kangnian, he really would not be able to refuse.
Thinking of this, Xia Fei seemed to understand a little. This Soul Tool was like a hot potato, and no one would feel safe holding it in their hands. Cai Kangnian, of course, understood the subtlety of this, so he had already prepared an escape route for himself. The moment something went wrong, he would immediately retreat, even abandoning the shipyard he had been operating for many years.
After a pause, Cai Kangnian furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Now, please take out this grade 7 Soul Tool and let everyone have a look."
* Whoosh ~ *
The crowd was silent. Countless pairs of eyes were wide open, and only the sound of heavy breathing and accelerated heartbeats could be heard.
Cai Kangnian lightly rubbed his spatial ring, and a strange object appeared in his hand. It was a black cuboid, about two meters long. There was a groove on it, and when the weapon was inserted, only half of the handle could be seen.
* Pa ~ *
This object seemed to be very heavy, and when Cai Kangnian placed it on the stage, it made a very shocking sound. Many of the people who were watching were startled by this.
"This is the Soul Tool." Cai Kangnian pointed with a single finger and said in a deep voice.
The crowd below the stage was once again filled with dissatisfaction.
"Boss Cai, this thing is in the box. You should at least take it out and let everyone take a closer look, right?"
"That's right. Just because you said it's a grade 7 Black Soul Tool? I've lived for so long, yet I've never heard of such a high grade Black Soul Tool. If I don't take a look for myself, how can I believe you? "
"That's right. Take it out and show it!"
Cai Kangnian completely ignored these people's requests. With a light wave of his arm, he sent a surge of Soul Power into the box that contained the sword.
* Bang! *
The sound was like thunder, and the black light was like an arrow!
It was as if someone had suddenly turned off the spotlights, and the entire hall was instantly plunged into darkness. There was a cold and gloomy aura that made everyone feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Now, do any of you have any questions?" Cai Kangnian coldly asked.
"Black Soul Tool! It's definitely a high-grade Black Soul Tool! This deathly aura can only be possessed by an Black Soul Tool! "
"That's right. I felt it too. It was very scary just now, as if there was a wild beast scratching my back with its sharp claws."
Xia Fei also felt that it was very strange. Just what kind of item was an Black Soul Tool? This feeling was clearly different from ordinary Soul Tools. Even a powerful Soul Tool like White Dragon Roar did not have such a gloomy quality. It was as if it was closer to Devil Blade Nirvana.
'Could this thing also be a vampiric weapon?' Xia Fei's interest was instantly piqued as he pondered in his heart.
There was no need to talk about Devil Blade Nirvana. It could absorb the enemy's energy to replenish itself and Xia Fei. It was simply a heaven-defying divine weapon!
When Xia Fei was forging Devil Blade Nirvana, he had all sorts of fortuitous encounters, and there was also the disruptive power of the Law of Primal Chaos. He had just obtained this weapon, and if he were to do it all over again, he was not confident that he could create a second vampiric weapon. After all, luck played a large part in this.
If there really was an ability or method in this world. Using it to create a powerful vampiric weapon would definitely be a nightmarish scene. Devil Blade Nirvana did not have a grade and could not even be considered a true Soul Tool, yet it was already so powerful. This so-called Rank 7 Black Soul Tool. Who knew what kind of shock it would bring?
When Cai Kangnian revealed the ability of this Soul Tool, the others no longer doubted it. Instead, it turned into whispers.
"Boss Cai, this is a high-grade Black Soul Tool. We all believe it. Now, why don't you make a decision. Do you want to barter it or do you want to auction it here?"
Their eyes were filled with fanaticism. The warriors present were already boiling with passion. At this moment, even if Cai Kangnian wanted them to exchange their family's lives for it, these people would not hesitate.
"I've said it before. This soul tool was entrusted to me by someone. Everything was decided by that Spirit Master. I, Cai Kangnian, was just running errands in the middle." Cai Kangnian emphasized his position once again.
"Now, all of you listen up!" Cai Kangnian's expression was solemn as he loudly said, "That Cleric made it clear that this Soul Tool is not for sale!"
"Not for sale?! If you're not for sale, then why did you call us here!? "
"Surnamed Cai, you're not playing with us are you!?"
This caused an uproar. There were thousands of people, many of whom had come from afar, just for this rank seven Soul Tool. Now that Cai Kangnian said that he wasn't selling, everyone was unhappy.
"Whoever can pull this weapon out of the box, this Soul Tool will be given to that person!" Cai Kangnian said in a clear voice.
Shua ~
This was truly a series of twists and turns. Everyone present felt as if they were on a roller coaster, their moods rising and falling.
The surroundings were silent again. Everyone's dissatisfaction was replaced by ecstasy. As long as they pulled the weapon out, it would be theirs. This kind of good thing was simply unbelievable.
"But, I have to say the ugly words first. That Cleric said that not everyone has the ability to obtain this Soul Tool. Right now, it's not you who can choose the Soul Tool, it's the Soul Tool that chooses its master! If the Soul Tool is willing to follow you, then so be it. If not, then you'll have to pay with your life on the spot! "
"Betting with your life!?" It wasn't just someone who shouted out loud.
Cai Kangnian coldly said, "That's right, it's betting with your life! Either you take this Rank Seven Black Soul Tool and leave, or you leave your life behind! These are the original words of that Cleric! "
Hum ~
Many people felt their minds tremble chaotically. Obtaining a high level soul tool was very good, but paying for it with their lives was very bad. After Cai Kangnian finished speaking these shocking words, many people immediately retreated.
Of course, there were always people who didn't want their lives.
After being stunned for a few seconds, they saw two burly men jump onto the stage. They looked quite similar. They both had round heads and raised noses. They seemed to be blood related brothers.
"Brother, let me do it! I don't believe that there's such an evil thing! "
"Let me do it. You wait at the side. After taking the Soul Tool, we brothers will drink!" The elder brother pushed his brother to the side. Without any explanation, he directly took action!
Pa ~
Just as his hand came into contact with the weapon in the box, a huge suction force directly glued him to it!
Ah ~ ~
The man let out a miserable cry. In less than a second, his entire body rapidly aged. His face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were dim. It was as if the Soul Tool had sucked away his life!
"Brother!"
The younger brother at the side was suddenly startled. He opened his arms and was about to carry his brother to the side. In the end, a miserable scene occurred. The two of them hugged each other, but were unable to separate!
In just a blink of an eye, from young and vigorous, to old and finally turned into a pile of ash!
