"Manager Zhou Ji, why don't I lend you 300,000 high-grade Origin Stones first? You can return them to me later. I can't wait to find out the origin of the sword and the pill. "
An old man in the VIP area said to Zhou Ji.
This old man had bid for the grade one Life Recovery Pill earlier, but due to his limited wealth, he did not manage to win the bid.
"I have 200,000 high-grade Origin Stones here as well. I can lend them to the Zhou Clan first."
"I believe in the Zhou Clan's reputation … I can lend you 300,000 as well."
Another two people chimed in.
Just like that, 800,000 high-grade Origin Stones were gathered.
It was obvious they were eager to find out the origin of the sword and the pill. Perhaps, they might even have a chance to obtain a grade one Spirit Sword and a grade one Life Recovery Pill like the sword and the pill.
Just when Zhou Ji was speechless and did not know what to do …
A voice resonated from the distance and was getting closer and closer.
"Thank you for your kind intentions … However, I don't think our Zhou Clan needs to borrow high-grade Origin Stones from all of you."
Accompanying the voice was a dignified old man.
The old man walked in the air. Every step he took seemed to have merged perfectly with the heavens and the earth. From this, one could see how extraordinary the old man's cultivation base was.
"Clan Leader!"
As soon as the old man appeared, Zhou Ji bowed respectfully at him.
Clan Leader?
Everyone present was shocked when they heard Zhou Ji's words.
It seemed that there was only one person who could be addressed as' Patriarch 'by Zhou Ji.
It was Zhou Zheng, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan in Ataraxia City.
"Greetings, Clan Leader Zhou!"
"Greetings, Clan Leader Zhou!"
…
At once, everyone present greeted Zhou Zheng. Their voices were filled with reverence.
Apart from being the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Zheng was also an extremely powerful powerhouse. It was said that he was at the Eighth Level Martial Monarch Stage, and the Profundity that he had comprehended was extremely powerful as well.
Even in the entire Zhou Clan, he was one of the best!
Unlike the enthusiasm of the others, Duan Lingtian had a calm expression on his face when he looked at Zhou Zheng.
It was as though the old man in front of him was not the leader of a first-rate force. Instead, he was just an ordinary old man.
When Duan Lingtian was sizing up Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng was sizing him up as well.
"Dear guest, I apologize on behalf of the Zhou family for what happened to Zhou Li."
Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
"If apologies are useful, what's the point of a martial artist cultivating?"
Just as everyone was astonished by Zhou Zheng's apology to Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian's reply nearly made them vomit blood.
The dignified Patriarch of a first-rate force, the Zhou Clan, is apologizing to you, and you still don't appreciate it?
"This …"
Duan Lingtian's reply caused Zhou Zheng to be momentarily at a loss for words. It was a long while before he finally asked, "What do you think, customer?"
"I sold the two auction items at your Zhou Clan's Auction Square for a total of 800,000 high-grade Origin Stones … How about this? Give me 1,000,000 high-grade Origin Stones, and I'll accept your apology reluctantly."
Duan Lingtian said.
Black!
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, before Zhou Zheng could react, this thought had already appeared in the minds of most of the people present.
Although they did not know what kind of conflict Duan Lingtian had with the Zhou Clan, they did not know.
However, based on Duan Ling Tian's words, he actually asked the Zhou Clan to take out 200,000 high-grade Origin Stones as an apology. In their opinion, he was too greedy.
To their surprise, when Zhou Zheng, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan, regained his senses, he laughed and casually took out a Spatial Ring before he passed it to Duan Lingtian.
"Here's 1,000,000 high-grade Origin Stones … Of which, 800,000 is what you deserve. As for the remaining 200,000, consider it as an apology. "
Zhou Zheng looked at Duan Lingtian with a smile. "Dear guest, now that you've buried the hatchet with our Zhou Clan … I wonder if you can tell me your identity and origin?"
"I'll tell you after I'm done inspecting it."
Under Zhou Zheng's shocked and awkward gaze, Duan Lingtian took the Spatial Ring that Zhou Zheng passed to him and performed a Blood Ownership Claim on it before he carefully inspected it.
"That's right, it's 1,000,000 high-grade Origin Stones."
After a long while, Duan Lingtian finally nodded his head in satisfaction after he confirmed it.
Duan Lingtian's actions caused the corners of the surrounding people's mouths to twitch uncontrollably.
Was this fellow worried that the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan would lie to him?
"My lord, now you should tell us the origin of the sword and pill that you put up for auction, right?"
Someone asked urgently when they saw Duan Lingtian keeping the Spatial Ring that Zhou Zheng passed to him.
For a time, apart from Feng Tianwu, everyone present, including Zhou Zheng and Zhou Ji, shifted their attention to Duan Lingtian. It was obvious that they were curious about this.
In their opinion, this would determine whether they would have the opportunity to obtain a rare treasure like the sword and pill in the future.
In Zhou Zheng and Zhou Ji's opinion, this would determine the identity of the purple-clad young man in front of them.
"Of course not … Hmm?"
Just when Duan Lingtian was about to say 'of course not', he seemed to have noticed something. Not only did he interrupt himself, but he also looked at the sky in the east.
"Who's that?!"
When Duan Lingtian looked at the sky in the east, Zhou Zheng also noticed the commotion. His face darkened, and his robe fluttered even though there was no wind.
A moment later, a figure wearing a silver-blue robe appeared. It was a sturdy old man with a curly beard.
At this moment, the old man's face was dark, and his eyes were as big as copper gongs. It was as though they were going to spit fire.
Zhou Zheng was stunned when he saw the curly bearded old man. "He … He's out of closed-door cultivation?"
"Who killed my son, Zhou Li?"
Before Zhou Zheng could react, the curly bearded old man had already arrived at the sky above the Zhou Clan's Auction Square. His thunderous voice resonated in the air. It was filled with extreme anger.
"Zhou Li?"
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows. He could guess the identity of the person who had just arrived.
Previously, at the backstage of the auction, the Zhou Clan's disciple who wanted to take his grade one Spirit Sword and grade one Life Recovery Pill had his cultivation base crippled by him before he was killed by him.
He still remembered.
When he killed Zhou Li, Zhou Ji had mentioned that Zhou Li was the only son of the Zhou Clan's grand elder.
Therefore, the curly bearded old man's identity was self-evident.
The Zhou Clan's grand elder!
"Grand Elder, why are you here?"
Zhou Zheng rose into the air and frowned as he looked at the Zhou Clan's grand elder.
"Clan Leader, even if I don't become the Zhou Clan's grand elder today and leave the Zhou Clan, I won't let the person who killed my son, Zhou Li, go!"
The Zhou Clan's grand elder said angrily in a deep voice.
He had just come out of closed-door cultivation today. As soon as he came out of closed-door cultivation, he learned that his son had been killed.
At that moment, he felt his entire chest was filled with anger. It was difficult to suppress it.
At that time, many of the Zhou Clan's elders had told him the ins and outs of the matter. They even told him that the person who killed his son, Zhou Li, had an extraordinary background.
However, when he saw his only son's corpse, how could the Zhou Clan's Grand Elder, who had to bear the pain of having to send off his son before his death, swallow this anger?
He immediately rushed to the Zhou Clan's Auction Square.
"Grand Elder, why do you have to do this?"
Zhou Zheng did not expect the old man to be so resolute. He could not help but smile bitterly.
"Clan Leader, even if his background is extraordinary, I'll still kill him today! After I kill him, I'll announce that I'm leaving the Zhou Clan, and I won't implicate the Zhou Clan. "
The Zhou Clan's grand elder said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I'll avenge my son!"
"Grand Elder, what if I insist on stopping you?"
Zhou Zheng's expression turned solemn.
In his opinion.
Today, it did not matter if the purple-clad young man was a match for their Zhou Clan's grand elder. Once their grand elder made a move, the Zhou Clan would be the one to suffer losses.
If the purple-clad young man was not a match for their Zhou Clan's grand elder, the grand elder would have no choice but to leave the Zhou Clan and go on the run after killing the purple-clad young man.
In that case, the Zhou Clan would lose a powerhouse who was a pillar of support.
If the purple-clad young man was more powerful than their Zhou Clan's grand elder, their Zhou Clan would still lose such a powerhouse after the grand elder died.
For this reason, he only wanted to stop their Zhou Clan's grand elder.
"Clan Leader, you can't stop me."
The Zhou Clan's grand elder said as he glanced at Zhou Zheng indifferently.
"Grand Elder, regardless of whether I can stop you or not, I'll still try … If it's possible, I don't want the Zhou Clan to lose you."
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"If that's the case, then I won't hold back!"
The Zhou Clan's grand elder's eyes turned cold. His body flashed like the wind and shot towards Zhou Zheng like a bolt of lightning. His speed was so fast that most of the people present could not even catch a glimpse of it.
In their eyes, the Zhou Clan's grand elder had disappeared into thin air.
The Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Zheng, had also disappeared into thin air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
A series of rolling sounds of air exploding reverberated from the sky, causing waves of vast airwaves and setting off gusts of violent wind that raged in all directions.
The violent wind raged and swept across the land, causing the robes of the group of people, including Duan Lingtian, to flutter in the wind.
"Why is the Zhou Clan's grand elder fighting with the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan?"
Many people asked in surprise when they saw the silhouettes that appeared and crossed each other in the air.
"It seems like the Zhou Clan's grand elder's son was killed … He's here to look for the person who killed his son. However, the person who killed his son seems to have an extraordinary background. At the very least, even the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan is wary of him. "
"I heard it too … According to the Zhou Clan's grand elder, even if he kills the person who killed his son, he'll still have to leave the Zhou Clan. It's obvious that he's worried about dragging the Zhou Clan into this."
"I wonder who that person is."
…
Many people discussed among themselves.
However, they did not know that the person they were talking about was standing right next to them.
"Ninth Level Martial Monarch Stage? I'm afraid the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan is going to lose. "
The others might not be able to see the movements of the Clan Leader of the Zhou Clan and the Zhou Clan's grand elder, but it did not mean that Duan Lingtian could not. After watching for a while, Duan Lingtian muttered to himself.
Almost as soon as his words left his mouth, two silhouettes appeared in front of him in the air. One of them was sent flying several dozen meters away.
The remaining person stood there proudly.
The Zhou Clan's grand elder!
"Grand Elder … Y-You've broken through to the Ninth Level Martial Monarch Stage?"
