In the auction hall!
Bian Shengrui's heart was filled with regret as he stared at the sword in Yu Haoran's hand.
If he'd known earlier that Yu Haoran's seventh item was a low-grade great emperor sword, he would've asked for the details of each item when they were discussing the details of the auction at the prince consort's residence.
In that case, with his deep friendship with Yu Haoran, and out of respect for Yun Xiang, he would definitely be able to get the sword at the lowest price.
But it was too late for regrets!
Bian Shengrui had no choice but to summon the two Martial Honors in charge of the auction hall. He had them gather the spirit veins and treasures as quickly as possible so that they could participate in the auction.
Staring at the sword in Yu Haoran's hand, the Sky Sword Sect's Sect Master clenched his fists and trembled as he commanded.
"Two Grand Elders, take out everything you've collected. No matter what, we must get the Cloud Piercing Sword."
"Yes, Sect Leader!" They looked at each other and saw the desire in each other's eyes. Then, one of the Martial Saint swordsmen replied excitedly.
After resealing the sword, Yu Haoran casually inserted the Cloud Piercing Sword into the high platform, giving everyone time to adapt and prepare.
When he felt that the atmosphere was about right, he made a bid that infuriated the Sky Sword Sect Leader and stunned everyone.
"The starting price for the complete Cloud Piercer Sword is one ninth level first grade spirit stone. The starting price for each auction cannot be lower than one ninth level first grade spirit stone."
"Yu Haoran, do you want to make an enemy out of the billions of sword cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent?" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect angrily rushed to the bottom of the stage and glared at Yu Haoran as he threatened.
"Scram immediately. Otherwise, I will cancel the auction for the Cloud Piercing Sword." Yu Haoran coldly threatened the sect master of the Sky Sword Sect who had fled to the bottom of the high platform.
"You …!"
Faced with Yu Haoran's threat of canceling the auction for the Cloud Piercing Sword, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master was at a loss for words.
If Yu Haoran really had to cancel the auction for the Cloud Piercing Sword because of him, he would probably be torn to shreds by the countless frenzied experts present.
However, if he did not think of a way to fight back, then Yu Haoran's humiliation of the Way of the Sword would not only severely hurt the young warriors' enthusiasm for the cultivation of the Way of the Sword, but it would also change many young warriors' choice of martial arts.
This result would not only prevent the Earth Sword and Man Sword from gathering more sword luck, it would also affect the Sky Sword Sect's chances of reaching a higher position in the future.
Just as the Sky Sword Sect Leader didn't know how to respond to Yu Haoran's threat, Qing Yue suddenly spoke up.
"Everyone, please listen to Qing Yue."
"Please speak your mind."
The Sky Sword Sect Leader was very grateful that Qing Yue resolved the awkward situation in time. He immediately cooperated with Qing Yue's plan.
"The reason why Yu Haoran has lowered the price of the Cloud Piercing Sword so low is because he wants to use this method to ruthlessly humiliate the way of the sword and dispel the enthusiasm of the billions of sword cultivators on the Profound Sky Continent towards the way of the sword.
"At the same time, he knows that the final price will reach an astronomical figure because of the preciousness of a low-grade emperor-grade sword."
"This is killing two birds with one stone!"
Qing Yue nodded in satisfaction at the tactful cooperation of the Sky Sword Sect Leader and continued to suggest.
"Since that's the case, why don't we have one friend bid a first-grade ninth-level spirit stone and win the low-grade emperor-grade Cloud Piercing Sword?"
"Young Master Qing Yue, what if Yu Haoran still shamelessly arranges for his own people to participate in the auction?" The Sky Sword Sect Leader reminded kindly when he thought of how Yu Haoran had countered Qing Yue's threat.
"If Yu Haoran dares to use such shameless methods, then not only will he fail to humiliate the Sword Dao by auctioning off the Cloud Piercer Sword at such a low price, he will also be slapping himself in the face." Qing Yue replied proudly in response to the sect master's kind reminder.
Hearing Qing Yue's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement and couldn't help but feel excited.
"I wonder who is the only person who can make a bid?"
However, Forefather Zhou, who had been clear-headed and seemed to be targeting the Yuxu Temple, asked with a cold smile.
"Don't tell me it's you, Qing Yue!"
Forefather Zhou's cold question caused everyone's excitement to plummet. At the same time, they were even more certain that Qing Yue's suggestion was to obtain the low-grade emperor-grade Cloud Piercing Sword for himself at the lowest price.
Qing Yue's face darkened when Forefather Zhou exposed his sinister intentions. However, he had already considered this point, so he took a deep breath and countered with a smile.
"Haha, how could Qing Yue have such intentions?"
"Everyone, the Sky Sword Sect has always been a sacred place in the hearts of sword cultivators. Why don't we let the Sky Sword Sect Leader be the one to bid?"
The Skysword Sect Master's face flushed red with excitement when he heard Qing Yue's suggestion. He looked at the number one private room with a look of gratitude.
"What an arrogant idiot!"
Yu Haoran mocked Qing Yue disdainfully and loudly said to the people in the venue after speaking to him in a loud voice.
"Everyone, according to the rules of the auction, if no one bids for an item for a long time, then as the owner of the item, you have the right to decide whether to take it back. Perhaps you can directly make a deal with a friend here.
"It's about time. I will now announce the countdown for the low-grade emperor-grade Cloud Piercing Sword."
Using the restriction that he couldn't act shamelessly to suppress the final price of the Cloud Piercing Sword seemed very clever, but it was actually a stupid idea full of flaws.
First of all, the Yuxu Temple wasn't strong enough to intimidate everyone present into obeying Qing Yue's orders.
Secondly, no matter who the sole bidder was, no one else would be convinced.
Last but not least, he had underestimated the allure of the Cloud Piercer, a sword with a slumbering artifact spirit, to the crowd.
It was because of the above three reasons that Yu Haoran had remained silent in the face of Qing Yue's scheme to deceive him.
