Seeing the auction item being moved onto the auction stage, many people in the venue breathed heavily.
Many people had come to this underground auction for the slaves.
The siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, were among them. They had only bid for other items in passing.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer quickly removed the red cloth.
Sealed in the crystal was a female creature with a snake's tail. Her upper body was almost identical to that of a human female, and her figure was extremely impressive.
She was completely naked except for a circle of sigils around her neck. That was a restriction used to control the slaves and could be concealed. The auctioneer had deliberately revealed it so that the guests in the venue could see that the slave had been restricted and was being controlled.
What caught Lin Huang's attention the most was that the Snake Lady's tail was golden in color.
"They managed to catch her even with that?!"
He could not help but exclaim to himself that the organizers of this auction were extremely powerful.
"The auction item this time is a Snake Lady." Seeing the commotion in the venue, the auctioneer said slowly and unhurriedly, "I'm sure everyone has noticed that this is not an ordinary Snake Lady, but a Supreme God-level Golden-Scaled Snake Lady.
"In the Snake Lady tribe, there is a secret that most of the guests may not be aware of. The Snake Queen of the Snake Lady tribe has always been chosen from among the princesses. How are the princesses chosen? "
The auctioneer paused and looked around. Seeing that no one could answer this question, he smiled and said the answer.
"There is only one criterion for the selection of the Snake Lady tribe's princess, and that is to be a Supreme God-level Rank 5! It has nothing to do with one's combat power or one's clan. As long as one is a Supreme God-level Rank 5, one can directly obtain the title of princess and become a candidate for the Snake Queen.
"When the Snake Queen dies and there is only one princess, she doesn't even need to go through any selection and can directly inherit the position of the Snake Queen.
"In other words, what we are auctioning now is the princess of the Snake Lady tribe. She might even be the future Snake Queen! "
Hearing this, even Lin Huang felt that he had learned something new. This was the first time he had heard of the selection rules for the Snake Queen.
The venue was in an uproar.
Everyone understood what the auctioneer was implying.
As long as he could take down this Lamia Princess and think of a way to manipulate things, such as killing the Snake Queen and the other Lamia Princesses, he could let his slave inherit the position of Snake Queen and control the entire Lamia tribe.
Although the Lamia Tribe did not have a large population and was not considered a large tribe in the God Territory, this tribe had half-step Lords, and there was more than one of them.
Controlling such a race was equivalent to controlling a top-notch six-star force.
Naturally, Lin Huang understood what she meant. However, he was not thinking about the Lamia Tribe at the moment, but about the Nephilic Judge Tribe.
After Kelly ascended to the sixth level, she was now the queen of the entire Nephilic Judge Tribe. This meant that she was secretly in control of the fate of the entire Nephilic Judge Tribe.
The Nephilic Judge Tribe was much stronger than the Lamia Tribe.
Kelly had sent such a message to Lin Huang.
On the surface, the Nephilic Judge Tribe only had three half-step Lords, but the actual number might be double that. Moreover, it was possible that there were Overgod level ancestors who were still alive, just that they had never appeared.
The ability that this tribe displayed to the outside world was only the tip of the iceberg.
This was also why Lin Huang had later dismissed the idea of forcefully summoning Kelly back. Instead, he had agreed to Bloody's strategy and allowed Kelly to remain with the Nephilic Judge Tribe.
Due to the auctioneer's instigation, the first slave auction was exceptionally competitive.
The siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, kept calling out bids.
However, it was clear that they were not the only ones with deep pockets. There were also several people who were competing and unwilling to give in.
A woman even raised the price to a Dao artefact, scaring off several competitors.
Not only were the people present surprised, but even Lin Huang was surprised by what he saw.
Such a price was enough to purchase a half-step lord-level slave.
After all, this Golden-scaled Lamia was only a third-rank heavenly god-level. No matter how astonishing her potential was, resources were needed to nurture her.
As for what the auctioneer had said about controlling her being equivalent to controlling the entire Lamia Tribe, that was even more ridiculous.
The current Lamia Queen of the Lamia Tribe was a half-step lord-level. Moreover, according to the rules of succession for the Lamia Queen as explained by the auctioneer himself, the current Lamia Queen should be at least a supreme god-level rank-5.
A supreme god-level rank-5 half-step lord-level was definitely the cream of the crop among the half-step lord-level. How could she be assassinated so easily?!
If one really had the ability to assassinate the Lamia Queen, they would not have coveted the Lamia Tribe.
Lin Huang could understand why the siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, were bidding. After all, the two of them were particularly fond of collecting slaves.
As for the lady who was sitting in the same row as him and kept bidding wildly, he could not understand her at all.
Could this lady have the same fetish as the siblings?
However, in terms of wealth, the siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, were ultimately the wealthiest.
After the lady bid a Dao Weapon, she saw that the siblings were still bidding, so she stopped bidding.
The siblings seemed to have reached a compromise very quickly. The Golden-scaled Lamia was successfully taken down by him with a Dao Weapon and two Pseudo-Dao Weapons.
Just as the auctioneer announced the successful bid, something strange happened in the hall.
The lady who had been sitting in the same row as Lin Huang made a move abruptly. She reached out and grabbed the crystal that sealed the Golden-scaled Lamia on the auction stage.
Even Lin Huang's pupils shrank when he saw the claw. It was clearly at the level of a half-step lord-level.
At that moment, a hand appeared out of thin air on the auction stage and punched the lady's sharp claw.
It was a half-step lord-level as well!
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the two half-step lord-level lord-level combatants, Lin Huang made his move without hesitation.
Two blood-red gleams shot out of his sleeves like barely visible electric arcs, heading straight for the siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue.
The two half-step lord-level combatants immediately noticed Lin Huang, the ambusher. The lady ignored them. The man who had stopped her wanted to rescue her. However, when he saw that the lady was trying to take the opportunity to bypass him, he retracted his outstretched hand.
The two half-step lord-level combatants clashed once more.
At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the two half-step lord-level combatants. No one noticed Lin Huang's attack at all.
The siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, had been watching the battle with their heads raised. By the time they sensed the impending threat of death, it was already too late for them to react.
Among the eighteen levels of sequence power that Lin Huang had layered, not only were there several speed-type powers, but there were also two concealment types. It was only when the attacks reached the siblings that his killing intent finally revealed itself.
Eighteen levels of sequence power and Sword Dao heavenly rule were layered. Two telekinetic flying daggers that were comparable to top-tier god sequence relics pierced through the siblings' heads at lightning speed.
Almost at the same time, Lin Huang appeared next to the siblings' corpses in a flash. Several Divine Telekinesis threads extended and swept up the two headless corpses, intending to store them in his storage space.
However, at that moment, the half-step lord-level combatant finally found the time to slap at Lin Huang.
"Stay here!"
The corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly. "You can't keep me here."
The next instant, he suddenly crushed a card.
A golden saber gleam consolidated in the air before him. The saber gleam was only about a meter long and looked ordinary.
Naturally, this saber gleam was not one of Lin Huang's techniques. Instead, he had replicated it with his Skill Card. It was the final trump card that Saber9 had used to kill Nine Gloom — the sword attack that he had activated by borrowing the life-saving technique that his Primordium had given him.
Since the power of that sword attack was still below lord-level, Lin Huang's 5-star Skill Card authorization happened to be able to replicate it, so he had replicated it.
In reality, apart from Saber9's sword attack, he had also replicated Virtuoso's life-saving attack.
This was to prevent similar situations from happening.
He had never expected that it would come in handy.
The golden saber gleam collided with the half-step lord-level's palm print, stirring up a terrifying energy storm.
"This fellow is a half-step lord-level too?!"
Just as the two half-step lord-level combatants were feeling slightly surprised, Lin Huang had already vanished with the two headless corpses …
