"There's no hurry. The Eight Wastelands is related to the legacy of a Holy Emperor, so it'll definitely attract the attention of many large organisations. The arrival of some Holy Emperor experts is completely within my expectations. Right now, all we need to do is observe the situation and find an opportunity to reap the benefits. Since the mysterious woman has asked us to compete for the Eight Wastelands, let's do our best," Jianchen replied secretly. He was calm and composed.
"Jianchen, we don't even know the identity of the mysterious woman. Are we supposed to trust her that much? What if she's plotting something by asking us to compete for the Eight Wastelands? "Nubis was rather worried.
With that, Jianchen replied after a moment of thought, "Although we don't know the identity of the woman, she's extremely powerful. That's something that cannot be doubted. At the same time, she knows everything about me on the Tian Yuan Continent, including the matters between me and the protector clans as well as my grievances on the Beast God Continent. If she wants to harm us, all she needs to do is announce our identities, but she hasn't done that. And from our conversation last time, she's not helping us for no reason."
"Fair enough. The mysterious woman said that if she helps you now, you'll have to help her in the future. She probably won't harm us," Nubis found it reasonable as well, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them communicated secretly, so it was impossible for their voices to leak out. As a result, the patriarch of the Dal tribe had no idea what the two of them were talking about.
"Eighty-five million great quality crystal coins …"
"Eighty-six million great quality crystal coins …"
The bidding didn't stop. The competition for the Eight Desolation Map fragment was still going on fiercely. More than a dozen big forces had participated in the competition for the map fragment.
After five whole minutes, the price of the Eight Wastelands had reached a hundred million great quality crystal coins. Even a few large tribes could not afford such a high price, so they all withdrew from the auction. However, there were still quite a few wealthy organisations that insisted on bidding for the Eight Wastelands, so the price continued to climb as time went on.
The competition for the Eight Wastelands only ended after four hours. It was purchased by a peak clan from the Heaven's Spirit Hall, one of the three divine halls of the sea realm, for an astronomical price of three hundred and eighty million.
With the purchase of the Eight Wastelands, the centennial auction in Gass City officially came to an end. Afterward, Jianchen and Nubis led the patriarch of the Dal tribe to the backstage of the auction to deal with the procedures of handing over the divine water of the world....
The divine water of the world was what the Sea clan called it. Its true name was the sacred water of the spirit sea. Jianchen accepted the sacred water of the spirit sea in a jade bottle with surging emotions. He carefully placed it into his Space Ring before leaving with the other two.
As soon as they left the place where the items were handed over, a young man in blue robes with a hint of evilness on his face blocked Jianchen's path. The young man's gaze was cold, and a heavy killing intent was hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"Diablo!" The patriarch of the Dal tribe's face immediately changed when he saw the young man. He could not help but cry out.
Jianchen and Nubis looked at the young man who was about the same age as them with interest. They smiled gently, "You're Diablo?"
"Cut the bullshit. Give me the divine water of the world and I'll spare your lives," Diablo coldly stared at Jianchen. His voice was extremely frigid, without any emotion at all.
Diablo and Nubis were both at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler, so how could Nubis tolerate someone at the same level as him boasting with his pride? He immediately became furious and took a step forward. A powerful presence immediately radiated from him, firmly pressing down on Diablo. He coldly said, "What dogshit Diablo? You don't have the right to be arrogant before the great Nubis. Piss off, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Nubis controlled his presence extremely well. He only targeted Diablo with his presence at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. It did not spread out and affect the auction house at all.
A gleam of light immediately flashed through Diablo's eyes under the pressure of Nubis' presence. He glared at Nubis and finally became slightly stern. Although they had not engaged in an open battle, he could sense Nubis' strength. He was definitely an expert who was no weaker than him.
"Who are you?" Diablo growled. At that moment, he seemed to have completely ignored the existence of Jianchen and the patriarch of the Dal tribe. All he could see was Nubis.
"I am the great Nubis. Didn't you hear what I just said?" Nubis growled. A vicious light shone from his eyes. The berserk and bloodthirsty nature of his magical beast bloodline had already been unleashed involuntarily.
"Guests, fighting is forbidden in the auction house. If you have any grievances, please settle them outside the city." At this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out. An extraordinary old man strode over from afar. With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible force immediately surged over, suppressing Nubis' presence.
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. The old man had suppressed Nubis' presence so easily, so he was definitely a supreme expert who had reached the level of Holy Emperor. He was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer at the very least, no weaker than Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi.
"The Sea race really is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I never thought that such an expert would be hidden in a tiny auction house. The Sea race really is powerful. Not only do they have more Holy Emperor than the Tian Yuan Continent, but even the Holy Emperor has far more peak Saint Rulers than the Tian Yuan Continent," Jianchen thought. He gained a new understanding of the Sea race's strength.
Nubis also sensed the old man's strength, and a rare deep fear appeared on his face. He immediately erased his presence and did not do anything excessive.
When he saw the old man, the usually fearless Xie Wang's expression finally changed. His eyes were filled with shock and fear as he looked at the old man. Soon after, he respectfully cupped his hands towards the old man and said, "Greetings to elder Jia."
Senior Lan calmly studied the three of them. He smiled warmly and said, "No matter who you are, since you've come to my auction house, you're our guests. Guests, I don't care about your grievances, nor do I care about them. However, please do not break the rules of the city. If you want to settle your grievances, please do it outside the city. Do not break the order of the city."
"Yes, Senior Jia. I will never break the rules of Garth City." Diablo immediately behaved like an obedient child. He felt respect and fear for the old man from the bottom of his heart.
Senior Jia said to Diablo, "You've damaged a table in the auction house. Go pay the compensation yourself."
"Yes!" Diablo did not dare to disobey. He stared at Nubis and Jianchen and said in a deep voice, "I will find you again." With that, Diablo left to pay the compensation.
Senior Lan did not pay any attention to Jianchen and the others. He walked past them and disappeared around the corner.
"Gass City, Gass Auction House, and Senior Jia. Is there a connection between these three? Could that old man be the Gass Auction House's master? "Looking at the old man's back, Jianchen murmured to himself.
In a sealed secret room in the auction house, Senior Jia was sitting together with a few other old men to discuss.
"Gade, escorting the Eight Wastelands map will be very dangerous. Many masters will come to steal it. We hope you can help us." One of the old men said.
Old senior Jia pondered for a moment before nodding sternly, "Three thousand years ago, a great elder of your Hao clan saved my life. I never had the chance to repay him. Now that the great elder has passed away, I won't be able to see him again in this life. Since your Hao clan needs me this time, I'll help you this time. Treat it as me repaying the great elder of your Hao clan for saving my life."
