Su Boyang spoke with conviction. When Yi Yun heard that, he really wanted to rip off the old bastard's skin. He had never seen such a thick-skinned old man.
"Master Su, isn't it a little too far-fetched to say that our young friend Yi Yun's heritage comes from your Pillheart Sect just because of the pill formula?"
Elder Mu frowned as well. Su Boyang was a little shameless. He made such a claim just because of the importance of the pill formula.
But on second thought, the old bastard was not a shameless person to begin with. If not, he would have threatened Yi Yun with a voice transmission. For an old freak to threaten a junior at an auction because he was no match for him, it was obvious what sort of character the old bastard had.
"Whether I'm maligning him or not, we will know once we verify it. I believe that many of the items this young friend has on him are related to my Pillheart Sect. In particular, my Pillheart Sect once lost an alchemical cauldron … Although the cauldron was lost, there was a remnant of the cauldron's core array. This remnant array has existed in my Pillheart Sect for tens of millions of years. A few days ago, it suddenly sensed something. My Pillheart Sect Elders were unsure why it would react, but now, I'm beginning to suspect … "
When Su Boyang said that, he narrowed his eyes at Yi Yun. He was only guessing and not certain.
Yi Yun's heart palpitated.
Alchemical cauldron!?
He guessed that the alchemical cauldron Su Boyang mentioned was likely the Divine Alchemy Cauldron!
Su Boyang's claim that they had the Divine Alchemy Cauldron's core array fragment was naturally true. There was a subtle connection between the Divine Alchemy Cauldron and the array fragment.
"Could it be that you suspect that our young friend Yi Yun has your Pillheart Sect's alchemical cauldron in his interspatial ring?" asked Elder Mu.
"That's right. That's why I want to inspect it. After all, it was originally our Pillheart Sect's heritage. Even if it is lost, it has to be recovered. According to the rules of the Heavenly South Great World, if someone picked up a treasure and it was proven that it originally belonged to someone else, then the original owner would have the right to force a transaction and purchase the treasure. However, very few people actually used this rule. This was because in the Heavenly South Great World, the strong were respected. Such matters were usually resolved through violence. Of course, my Pillheart Sect abides by the rules. I believe that you only happened to obtain something from my Pillheart Sect. As long as you hand it over now, I can guarantee that the Pillheart Sect will not pursue the matter. "
Su Boyang did not say the value of the Divine Alchemy Cauldron. Firstly, he was afraid that others would covet it. Secondly, he really did not know.
In fact, the Pillheart Sect had never seen the Divine Alchemy Cauldron before. They only guessed that it was extraordinary from the Divine Alchemy Cauldron's core array.
Su Boyang was unsure if Yi Yun really had the Divine Alchemy Cauldron. However, he was certain that Yi Yun had some impressive heritage on him. If not, just the Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus and the eighty million mid-grade Spirit Jade would have been impossible for him to produce, much less the Herb Nurturing Technique.
The reason Su Boyang suggested the principle of 'forced transactions' was to announce at the auction that Yi Yun's items belonged to the Pillheart Sect. It was perfectly justifiable for the Pillheart Sect to take them back. As for the other sects, they could forget about them.
Even if it was a hungry tiger vying for food, there had to be rules. Yi Yun was a piece of meat that belonged to the Pillheart Sect.
"Sect Master Yi, sigh. Didn't Clear Lunar Island Lord exhort you to keep a low profile?"
Not far from Yi Yun, Ren Yunzong spoke. He had used a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
One had to be careful when revealing one's wealth at an auction. Yi Yun did not have the strength to do so. Yet, he had taken out a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus. Wasn't this equivalent to telling others that he had a huge opportunity and obtained a great deal of wealth?
Ignoring the fact that he happened to be in the crosshairs of the Pillheart Sect, even if the Pillheart Sect did not say a word, there were probably many people who were thinking of robbing Yi Yun.
Yi Yun said indifferently, "Junior, I naturally know that keeping a low profile is safer. However, warriors like us have to strive for opportunities when we encounter them. If not, we might never reach the peak of martial arts. As for these people, I will bear the responsibility. Sect Master Ren, you do not have to worry about being implicated."
Yi Yun naturally knew what was on Ren Yunzong's mind. He was afraid of being implicated. However, he did not mind Ren Yunzong's thoughts. The Heavenly Pivot Chapter had nothing to do with him. Was he to hope that they would bear the responsibility for him when he was in trouble?
"You … Hmph! I gave you a few reminders but you failed to appreciate my kindness. You truly do not know what's good for you! "
Ren Yunzong's expression was ugly. Although he had such thoughts, he was embarrassed that Yi Yun had exposed him.
"How about it? My young friend, can I borrow your interspatial ring to take a look? If you really have a cauldron or a Herb Nurturing Technique, I will trade it at market price, "said Master Su with a sneer.
Master Su said with a cold smirk on his face.
As for the market price, only a fool would believe it. Be it the cauldron or the Herb Nurturing Technique, it was obvious how precious they were.
"Su Boyang, are you done!?" Elder Mu suddenly spoke. His voice had a hint of coldness to it. It caused the temperature of the venue to plummet.
Oh?
Su Boyang's heart palpitated. At that instant, he felt a majestic aura envelop him. It tightened his heart.
He looked at Elder Mu and noticed that Elder Mu's aura was heavy. His aura was completely locked onto him.
Although Elder Mu appeared calm, Su Boyang felt like a sword was pointed at his glabella. It was as though the elder in front of him had transformed into a dangerous primordial behemoth.
Only then did he realize that he had apparently crossed Elder Mu's bottom line.
As though too much time had passed, many people had forgotten the strength of the chuckling elder.
"Compulsory trade is a rule of the Heavenly South Great World. The Heavenly South Peaks Meet's trade meet has my rules. At the trade meet, you will have to follow my rules."
Elder Mu enunciated each word clearly. Every word was like a sword that stabbed into Su Boyang's soul sea.
Su Boyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. His aura had been completely repressed by Elder Mu.
Su Boyang clenched his teeth and cupped his fists. "I was rude and offended Elder Mu. Please forgive me …"
In front of absolute strength, he could only submit. However, it did not matter. What he said was only to announce the 'ownership' of the prey, Yi Yun. He had already achieved his goal.
"Then, let us continue!"
Elder Mu said lightly. As he spoke, he slowly retracted his aura. The atmosphere turned a lot more relaxed.
This time, no one dared to act rashly.
However, many people believed that Yi Yun was doomed.
Elder Mu had indeed spoken up to protect Yi Yun, but that was because Elder Mu had to uphold the trade meet's rules. Yi Yun was not his disciple, so Elder Mu had no obligation to ensure Yi Yun's safety once they left the trade meet.
What awaited Yi Yun was a behemoth like the Pillheart Sect, or perhaps other factions that wanted a piece of the action would secretly kill him and rob him.
Regardless of the outcome, Yi Yun's outcome was obvious. At that moment, everyone was looking at Yi Yun. Yi Yun's previous bid had been too exaggerated. It was obviously impossible for them not to feel jealous. Now that they saw Yi Yun in trouble, most of them were gloating.
"Does this Yi Yun not know what he's doing? He's a Dao Palace realm warrior, yet he's acting so arrogantly at the trade meet. Isn't that equivalent to a sheep jumping into a pack of wolves to provoke them? "
