"The Ling YI Society received a Gold invitation?"
"They did send five people! It's true!"
The various major powers in the hall were slightly surprised. Every time the Secret Pavilion held an internal auction, only 50 Gold invitations would be issued. This represented the Pavilion's acknowledgment of the 50 major powers' strength.
As for the number of people the Ling YI Society had sent, the various major powers didn't particularly care. After all, most powers that received a Gold invitation would rarely send five people. They'd be lucky to send two or three people. Hence, as time passed, the various powers that came to participate in the Secret Pavilion's internal auctions no longer cared about the number of people the other party sent. After all, they were very familiar with the various powers that received a Gold invitation. Even if five people came together, it was possible that the two powers were familiar with each other and had partnered together to participate.
However, compared to the fact that Ling Yi was a Gold VIP, the fact that the Starline Corporation wanted to kick the Ling YI Society out was even more shocking.
"So what if they received a Gold invitation?" Lu Xingluo's bodyguard asked nonchalantly as he glared at Yuan Tiexin.
Although he was Lu Xingluo's bodyguard, he was also an expert in God's Domain. He knew a lot of information about God's Domain.
The Starline Corporation had previously forbidden the Secret Pavilion from inviting Unyielding Soul. Even if they had, Unyielding Soul would still be a Gold VIP. However, Unyielding Soul still hadn't shown up.
Now, the Ling YI Society was even less of a concern.
"Is that so?" Yuan Tiexin angrily said, "As long as the guests invited by the Secret Pavilion haven't committed any mistakes, even if they are Bronze or Silver VIPs, we won't ask them to leave just because of a few words from you. If you don't have anything else to say, please wait in the lounge. The auction is about to begin."
Kicking someone out of an auction and not inviting them to an auction were two completely different situations. If the Secret Pavilion did this and word got out, how was the Secret Pavilion supposed to continue doing business?
Although the Starline Corporation's Advanced Energy was indeed tempting, the Secret Pavilion didn't have to cooperate with the corporation. After all, the Starline Corporation wasn't the only corporation that could obtain Advanced Energy.
"You!" Lu Xingluo's bodyguard was enraged. He never thought that the Secret Pavilion wouldn't give him any face. Just as he was about to attack, he discovered that two bodyguards behind Yuan Tiexin had locked onto him. The two bodyguards' auras weren't any weaker than his own.
The other forces were also dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected the Secret Pavilion to not give the Starline Corporation any face.
However, none of the super-first-rate Guilds or Super Guilds present were particularly surprised by this development. Although the Starline Corporation had considerable influence, the several major corporations supporting the Secret Pavilion were no weaker than the Starline Corporation. Only, the Starline Corporation was somewhat special in that it possessed plenty of Advanced Energy. Hence, the various major corporations had to give the Starline Corporation some face.
After all, the current era was also an era of energy. Everything needed to be used.
Because of this, the Starline Corporation had always acted in an overbearing manner. They had long since grown accustomed to it. While they might yield to the Starline Corporation on minor matters, when it came to major matters, no corporation would give them face, let alone the Secret Pavilion.
"Uncle Yuan, you really are amazing. I bet the Guild Leader will come looking for you when we get back," Zi Qiong said, giggling.
"You little brat." Yuan Tiexin rolled his eyes at Zi Qiong. He then shifted his gaze to Xiang Shifeng's lounge. "However, this Ling YI Society really causes trouble wherever it goes. It even dares to interfere with the matters between the Starline Corporation and Unyielding Soul."
Since the Starline Corporation and Unyielding Soul had clashed in the Dark Night Empire, one side was bound to lose. Moreover, the chances of Unyielding Soul's defeat were extremely high. It was even possible that Unyielding Soul would fall out of the ranks of super-first-rate Guilds. After all, Unyielding Soul had focused entirely on developing in the Dark Night Empire. If it lost the Dark Night Empire, it would suffer a significant blow to its strength.
Meanwhile, inside the private reception room, Lu Xingluo's bodyguard quickly reported the situation to Lu Xingluo.
"Guild Leader, since the Secret Pavilion isn't giving us any face, should we ask the higher-ups to pressure the Pavilion a little?" the tall bodyguard asked.
"No need. There's no need to get into an argument with the Secret Pavilion over such a small matter. Isn't it just Unyielding Soul's participation in this auction? With Unyielding Soul's current foundation, competing with us in the auction is futile," Lu Xingluo said, shaking his head. He was not one of his subordinates' bodyguards. He was very familiar with the Secret Pavilion's strength. If they really got into an argument with the Secret Pavilion, they would most likely be the ones to suffer. After all, the Secret Pavilion controlled too many resources in God's Domain. Its influence was so vast that few Guilds in God's Domain could compare to it.
"What about the Ling YI Society, then?" the bodyguard asked.
"It's just a bug. Once we return, notify Dark Soul's members and have them deal with it," Lu Xingluo snorted. Lu Xingluo snorted. He did not even care about Unyielding Soul, much less Zero Wing, a Guild that had only recently risen to prominence. Although he did not care about Zero Wing, if an insect dared to clamor at him, he still had to stomp it to death.
"Yes, sir!" the bodyguard sneered.
If the Ling YI Society had accepted their goodwill, they would've received at least one million Credits. Now that they had Dark Soul take action, the entire Guild would most likely disappear from God's Domain.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, due to the matter between the Starline Corporation and the Ling YI Society, the originally boring venue became livelier.
After a brief discussion, the auction finally began. Everyone then entered the venue that the Secret Pavilion had prepared for them.
Compared to the auction venues in God's Domain, the venue the Secret Pavilion had prepared was not even worth mentioning. It could only accommodate two or three thousand people. It couldn't compare to the auction venues in God's Domain, which could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, nobody present dared to underestimate this auction. After all, even the weakest of the people present here could rival first-rate Guilds. Second- and third-rate Guilds didn't even qualify to be invited.
Moreover, the Secret Pavilion's internal auction had a lot of items up for sale. As the first internal auction in God's Domain, the Secret Pavilion had put up for auction over 2,000 items. Every one of these items could not be found in God's Domain. Meanwhile, there were over 150 items that could be considered the finale of the auction. As for the finale items, just the starting bid for the cheapest item was as high as 2,000 Gold. There was no need to mention the competition for the finale items.
Even first-rate Guilds would feel the pinch if they competed for these items.
However, all of the items being auctioned were worth the money. Otherwise, the Secret Pavilion wouldn't have put them up for auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Secret Pavilion's internal auction. As usual, the highest bidder wins. God's Domain's Magic Crystals and Gold Coins will be the priority, followed by Credits," Yuan Tiexin said as he stood on the stage. Yuan Tiexin stood on the high platform and slowly introduced, "Then I won't waste any more words. The auction officially begins. Please bring out the first item we will be auctioning today!"
As soon as Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, a thick, ancient book appeared on the virtual screen. Meanwhile, the few large words written on the book's cover were dazzling. Based on the video, it was clear that the book's appearance had triggered the surrounding Mana. This was definitely no ordinary item. Immediately, everyone's attention was drawn to the book.
