Fang Tianhe ordered someone to push a huge rotating wooden frame to the center of the auction house. Immediately, piles of Log Poses appeared in front of everyone, ten in a pile, and all of them pointed to the south.
"These three hundred Log Poses have all been permanently recorded. You don't have to worry about being tampered with or the records disappearing. Now, the auction begins. There are a total of thirty sets, and the starting price for each set is one hundred million mid-grade Primordial Stones. Each increment must be no less than ten million mid-grade Primordial Stones! "
He waved his hand, and immediately, a beautiful maid dragged a set of Log Pose up in front of everyone.
Fang Tianhe said, "The auction for the first set begins!"
"Damn it! One hundred million for a set, why don't you go and die! "
Many people heard this price and started cursing. Not everyone was a nouveau riche like Li Yunxiao, opening bids of billions and tens of billions. Most of the martial artists were still stuck at the line of living expenses of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the slightly better ones were only a few million.
Such a high price almost directly denied the participation of those poor martial artists. Many people started cursing.
Fang Tianhe snorted coldly, "What a noble item the Southern Fire Gold Crystal Essence is. You want to fight for a chance without spending some blood? Dream on. This kind of thing is not something that you poor bumpkins can covet. "
He was indeed speaking the truth, and everyone understood it, but it was still difficult to accept emotionally, and the cursing became even more intense.
Fang Tianhe turned a deaf ear to them, standing alone in the center proudly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"The Log Pose that only costs one thousand mid-grade Primordial Stones is actually sold for a sky-high price of ten million each. This money is really easy to earn. Even I am tempted to open a chamber of commerce."
Xiao Minghui sighed softly and said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, they were as clear as water.
Tan Dijun said, "This is just the starting price. I don't know what the price will be. The Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce really has a good plan. Not only did they recruit people to open the way for them, but they also made a fortune without any risk. "
Li Yunxiao did not think much of it and said with a smile, "I have a way to make them unable to sell a single Log Pose."
"Oh?"
Everyone was curious. Mo Huayuan asked curiously, "What way?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "This will require Sect Master Tan's cooperation."
Tan Dijun couldn't figure out what he was up to, so he just nodded lightly. As long as the Chamber of Commerce could suffer a setback, he wouldn't even hesitate to kill, much less cooperate.
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of true essence. His voice was like a thunderclap that exploded in the venue.
"Our Bei Dou sect feels that your price is too high. Since it's an ownerless item of Southfire City, it should belong to everyone. Your Thunderwind Merchant Guild and Heavenly Crane Merchant Guild are actually auctioning off a public item. That's intolerable. These three hundred needles will be offered as an apology to everyone. As for the specific punishment, it will be decided by everyone after the ore source is opened! "
"What?!"
When the voice rang out, everyone was shocked!
Even Tan Dijun and the rest of the Big Dipper Sect's disciples in the private room turned pale with fright as they glared at Huang Xiaolong. An elder stepped forward and said angrily, "How dare you use our Big Dipper Sect's name to stir up trouble. You're clearly dragging us into a war with the Chamber of Commerce!"
Tan Dijun's expression also darkened. Now that Li Yunxiao had said those words, he couldn't retract them now. Otherwise, it would seem like he was afraid of trouble. However, he couldn't not retract them either. He was obviously declaring war on the other party!
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Don't panic. The Big Dipper Sect is like the midday sun. Let's see the Thunderwind Merchant Guild's reaction."
The elder said angrily, "Reaction? What reaction can they have? Of course they'll just charge up and kill us! "
Li Yunxiao looked over coldly and said, "Be quiet. Your vice sect master has agreed to let me handle this. It's not your place to make a fuss!"
"You …!"
The elder was furious. If not for the special circumstances, he would have smacked Li Yunxiao to death long ago.
Tan Dijun calmly stopped the elder and said, "I'll leave it to you. But if you mess it up, don't blame me for being hostile!"
Li Yunxiao smiled faintly and did not say anything. At this moment, the Big Dipper Sect had an Emperor Wu and was like the midday sun.
Under the Jiutian's emperor qi, everyone was an ant. He knew this better than anyone else. Others might not know, but the Thunderwind Merchant Guild definitely did not. Therefore, no matter how much pressure they were under, they would not rashly turn hostile and send themselves to death. Not everyone was as abnormal as Li Yunxiao. Unless the headquarters sent Emperor Wu, there was only a possibility of a fight.
When Li Yunxiao shouted, the entire place fell silent. Fang Tianhe and the people of the Thunderwind Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes all stared with wide eyes, dumbfounded. This kind of open provocation had not appeared for many years after the truce between the two factions. For a moment, they did not know how to deal with it.
Fang Tianhe said angrily, "Apology items? Specific punishment? Haha, isn't your Big Dipper Sect too arrogant? You have no respect for the dozens of merchant guilds in Nanfire City at all! "
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Originally … I have never paid any attention to you. Do you still think that you are someone important?"
"Hahahaha!"
The entire venue burst into laughter. Originally, there were many people from the local forces, and most of them were rogue cultivators. Now, they started to jeer and shout. Fang Tianhe was so angry that his face turned ashen. He stood in the middle of the stage, feeling extremely ashamed and angry!
"That's right! Ownerless items belong to everyone. You outsiders dare to investigate without permission and deliberately mine it. What punishment do you deserve! "
"Sigh, let's not talk about punishment for now. The lord of the Big Dipper Sect has already spoken. We will first hand over the Log Pose. After everyone goes to investigate, they will be punished. "
"Not bad, not bad. The lord of the Big Dipper Sect is indeed wise. No wonder he is the leader of Nanfire City!"
"I agree with the decision of the Big Dipper Sect. Hand over the Log Pose and wait for our punishment!"
Shouts rang out one after another. At first, there were only a few martial artists shouting. Then, the shouts became louder and louder. All of them were righteous and angry. They firmly believed that the Chamber of Commerce had infringed on everyone's interests. They demanded an explanation from the Chamber of Commerce!
Fang Tianhe roared, "Good, good, good! Your Big Dipper Sect is really good! Since you didn't hesitate to turn the tables, then … "
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce shout suddenly sounded out and interrupted him, "Is this Sect Leader Zhang's original intention? Is this how he teaches you to behave? "
A figure flashed in the air, and another person appeared on the auction stage. It was Ji Lin. He was also angry, but there was a trace of panic in his eyes. He was not as angry as Fang Tianhe.
Fang Tianhe's words sounded like he was about to start a war. Ji Lin, who was behind him, was so frightened that he could no longer sit still. He quickly shouted and interrupted Fang Tianhe. Fang Tianhe had slapped him in the face, so he had no choice but to step in.
Just as Li Yunxiao had thought, Fang Tianhe's rank was too low. He had never come into contact with Emperor Wu. Naturally, he would not know how terrifying Emperor Wu was. Ji Lin was different. He was a peak Martial Honor. He was only a step away from Emperor Wu. However, that step was like the ends of the earth, a chasm that was difficult to cross.
If a war were to break out, the merchant guilds would definitely be destroyed without any external help. Therefore, his eyes could not help but show panic. If this was Zhang Linghua's deliberate provocation, then the situation of the entire Nanfire City would be terrible!
Therefore, when Ji Lin appeared, he immediately asked whose idea it was. If it was just the brainless representatives of the Big Dipper Sect, then there was no need to worry.
Ji Lin completely ignored the shouts from the crowd, as well as the righteous warriors who demanded an explanation from them. As long as the Big Dipper Sect made their stance clear, this motley crew could be dealt with in minutes.
When Li Yunxiao heard Ji Lin's words, he understood his worries. He laughed loudly and said, "Do you think the Big Dipper Sect needs you to teach them how to behave? Ji Lin, do you want to teach our Sect Leader Zhang how to behave? "
Ji Lin's expression changed. Although he wanted to, he did not dare to say it out loud. He said angrily, "Who are you? What are you trying to do by destroying the relationship between our merchant guilds and the local forces? "
Li Yunxiao chuckled and said, "What am I trying to do? The Thunder Wind Merchant Guild is the one who is destroying the relationship between the two forces. Not only did you privately mine the shared resources, but you also want to charge us for directions. You're really sucking the marrow out of our bones. You're extremely despicable. Ask everyone in the auction hall, where do the people's hearts lie? Are they on the side of the Thunder Wind Merchant Guild or the Big Dipper Sect? "
"Big Dipper Sect!"
"Big Dipper Sect! Big Dipper Sect! "
"…"
For a moment, their voices shook the sky. Everyone's cheers became louder and louder, completely drowning Ji Lin and Fang Tianhe. The two stood on the auction stage in the center, their faces extremely ugly.
Fang Tianhe secretly transmitted his voice to Ji Lin, "President Ji, the situation has worsened. The Big Dipper Sect is so aggressive. We cannot afford to be weak. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to be strong in the future!"
Ji Lin glared at him and transmitted his voice angrily, "I don't need you to tell me that. But how can we be strong? The other side has Emperor Wu. He can kill us with one slap! "
Fang Tianhe was surprised. "Can you report the situation to the headquarters as soon as possible so that they can send experts to eliminate Zhang Linghua?"
Ji Lin shook his head slightly and said, "The two meetings are just around the corner. All the experts from the headquarters have gone to various places in the continent. They have no time to come to a small place like the South Flame City. No matter what, we have to endure until after the two meetings. As long as the Thunder Wind Merchant Guild's position is stable, it will be the time to take care of these dregs. We have to endure for now! "
Fang Tianhe's face changed slightly. Since Ji Lin had said so, he had to be a coward. He gritted his teeth and stared at the curtain of the private room with an ashen face. It seemed like he wanted to see through the curtain and see through the person who was stirring up trouble inside!
Li Yunxiao stood up from the private room and placed two fingers between his eyebrows. The space twisted slightly, and his entire body immediately teleported out. The next moment, he appeared on the rotating shelf full of Log Pose and casually took down a set of Log Pose.
No one saw how this person appeared until he took the Log Pose. Then, everyone was startled and looked at him in horror.
Ji Lin and Fang Tianhe were startled, shouting in unison, "It's you!"
