Murong Xun was the one who had secretly entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to auction off the female cultivator. He wanted the old fellows from the Yin Family to work harder to complete his mission.
Initially, Murong Xun had thought that the old fellows from the Yin Family would be able to enter the secret chamber where the President cultivated during the auction. However, up until now, there had been no movement at all. This infuriated Murong Xun.
Seeing that the price of the auction continued to rise, Murong Xun was already plotting to find other ways to stop the President from breaking through to the Immortal Duke Realm after the auction.
"Thirty million high-earth grade Celestial Soul Stones."
Luo Ping's voice suddenly rang in the air. He directly increased the price to thirty million high-earth grade Celestial Soul Stones, causing the experts who wanted to bid to swallow their words. They were so angry that they almost jumped out of their seats.
Initially, these experts had thought that Luo Ping wouldn't participate in the auction. However, Luo Ping's sudden bid had infuriated them.
After Luo Ping made his bid, the entire dragon-shaped mountain peak fell silent. On one hand, the experts didn't dare to continue bidding. On the other hand, they were trying their best to suppress the anger in their hearts. They were afraid that they would lose control and break the rules of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce.
When the female cultivator saw that Luo Ping had finally made a bid, she finally relaxed. Her eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.
When Vice President Tu Xiao saw that no one was bidding anymore, he was about to start asking questions. However, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"How is this possible?"
Vice President Tu Xi muttered to himself. His voice was filled with disbelief.
Everyone present was shocked and puzzled by Vice President Tu Xi's actions. They tried to guess what had happened. Only Murong Xun had a triumphant smile on his face.
"I've finally succeeded. It seems like those old fellows from the Yin Family are still useful. Even so, I'll still have to kill them after the auction to prevent future troubles."
"Now that the fire dragon's seclusion has been disrupted, not only is it unable to break through to the Immortal Duke Realm, but it's also severely injured. Who else in the Chamber of Commerce is a match for me? Who can stop me from becoming the president? "
When Murong Xun thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Although everyone's attention was diverted, the shock on their faces became even more intense.
"What happened to the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce? Why are these two vice presidents, one with a gloomy face and the other laughing for no reason? "
"Looks like something big is going to happen at the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. I've heard that Murong Xun is trying to seize the president's position. Is he going to make a move now?"
Some Immortal Cultivators were very confused, while some Immortal Cultivators guessed the situation. No matter what, everyone knew that the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce was going to change.
"Murong Xun, is this your doing? You are indeed scheming to seize the position of president. "
Vice President Tu Xi pointed at Murong Xun and questioned sternly.
"Hahaha … Tu Xi, at this stage, can't you see the truth? That fire dragon no longer has the qualifications and ability to be the president of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. From today onwards, the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce will be under my control.
"If you know what's good for you, you will obediently submit to me now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless and killing you."
After Murong Xun laughed, he threatened Vice President Tu Xi.
"Hmph, Murong Xun, do you think you can seize the president's position with just your tricks? Even if you destroy the president's closed door cultivation to break through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, don't think that the people of the Chamber of Commerce will submit to you.
"Not to mention the tens of thousands of members of the Chamber of Commerce, even if the other eight vice presidents and dozens of elders work together, the Murong Clan won't be able to easily deal with them.
"You better turn over a new leaf and obediently come with me to confess to the president. I believe that the president will spare your life on account of your years of service to the Chamber of Commerce.
"If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for working with the other higher-ups to eradicate the Murong Clan. Even if we have to pay a price, we won't hesitate to do so."
Vice President Tu Xi did not care about Murong Xun's threat at all. He also spoke in a firm tone.
Although the Murong Clan was also an A-class clan and was very powerful, compared to the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce, there was still a huge gap between them and the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce, let alone the ten A-class clans with Immortal Monarchs.
If Murong Xun continued to be stubborn, even if they had to pay a price, the higher-ups of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce would definitely eradicate the Murong Clan. They would definitely not allow Murong Xun to control the Chamber of Commerce.
"Tu Xi, do you think that I would act so rashly and recklessly when I wasn't confident? It seems that you still don't understand me.
"Other than me, five of the other eight vice presidents of the Chamber of Commerce have already submitted to me. Of the dozens of elders, 70% of them have been suppressed by me. Now, I have control over most of the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce.
"In addition to the power of the Murong Clan, do you think the remaining higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce are qualified to compete with me? Not to mention the weaker members of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Now, the Fire Dragon has been captured by the elders of my clan and will be brought to the auction house soon. At that time, you will be able to see his sorry state. As for now …
"Everyone in the auction house, stay put. If anyone dares to resist, don't blame me for being merciless."
Murong Xun explained the current situation of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce, causing Vice President Tu Xi's expression to change drastically. Murong Xun ignored Tu Xi's change of expression and swept his gaze across all the cultivators present, threatening them.
At the same time, the elders of the Chamber of Commerce who'd been maintaining order at the edge of the dragon-shaped mountain all approached. In addition, a large number of experts from the Chamber of Commerce appeared in the air and also approached the mountain, surrounding all the auctioneers.
That wasn't all. An incomparably powerful force was suddenly released from the peak of the dragon-shaped mountain, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier that sealed off the entire mountain peak.
Enveloped by this force, the cultivation of everyone on the mountain peak was completely suppressed. Even many peerless immortals found it difficult to mobilize the slightest bit of energy.
At this time, everyone's expression changed drastically as they realized the severity of the situation. Although they didn't know whether Murong Xun would take their lives, the feeling of being controlled by someone else was very unpleasant.
"It's really hard to escape this time. I didn't expect Murong Xun to want to seize the position of President of the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce. He's already made ample preparations."
"Right now, the entire dragon-shaped mountain peak has been sealed off. Everyone's cultivation has been restrained. In addition, there are so many experts from the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce guarding the area. Even a ninth level peerless immortal expert would find it difficult to escape."
"I thought we could use the method of putting ourselves in a hopeless situation to fight for a chance of survival. I didn't expect such an unforeseen event to occur. If Murong Xun attacks us now, we really won't be able to resist."
At this moment, Luo Ping was very helpless and worried. Under the situation where his cultivation was restrained and the surrounding space was sealed, there was no way he could resist. As long as Murong Xun attacked, the three of them could be killed at any time.
An unprecedented sense of crisis and impending death welled up in his heart. Even though he was constantly thinking of ways to escape, in the face of so many experts, including many Ninth Level Peerless Immortals, no matter how many plans he had, they were all useless.
"I wonder if I can smash open a spatial passage with the power of the Golden Tripod."
"Although the golden cauldron is terrifyingly powerful and I have an extremely close connection with it now, even if we can smash open a spatial tunnel, with so many experts around, it's still a problem whether the three of us can successfully enter the spatial tunnel."
"Although I can bring big brother Kong and brother Feng into the Golden Tripod, once inside, my soul power won't be able to sense the situation outside. If there's a deviation in the spatial passage, it'll be very dangerous."
"Damn it, it's all that Humpback Gong's fault. Am I really going to run out of luck this time?"
Luo Ping's most powerful treasure was the Golden Tripod, but he couldn't guarantee that he could escape with the power of the Golden Tripod.
At the thought that they might not be able to escape this time, Luo Ping bitterly cursed Humpback Gong, but at the same time, he wondered if his luck had run out.
Just like him, Kong Haotian and Feng Yiming beside him were also nervous. Although they couldn't communicate with each other through telepathy because of the seal on their cultivation, they could see the worry and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just as the three of them were in despair, they suddenly felt a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent looking at them. They didn't need to look to know that it was Murong Xun's gaze.
"Didn't the three of you have the guts to jump around happily before? Why do you all look so pale and silent now? "
"Don't worry, I won't kill you immediately. After all, your cultivation isn't enough. Killing you will only take a blink of an eye."
"When I've dealt with that fire dragon and become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I'll celebrate with your lives."
"And you … the few of you, you dared to compete with me for treasures. You'll all die when the time comes."
Murong Xun looked at Luo Ping and the other two with a sinister smile on his face. His tone was filled with mockery. At the end of his words, he looked at the others. These were the people who had competed with him for the treasures in the previous auction.
Among them was the fair-skinned Golden Immortal, Tan Xian of North Wind Valley. When he saw Murong Xun looking at Luo Ping and the other two, he sneered in his heart, hoping that Murong Xun would immediately attack and kill the three. However, in just a moment, Murong Xun's gaze turned to him.
When he heard Murong Xun's words, Tan Xian's face turned as white as a sheet of paper. He was extremely unsightly and began to curse inwardly.
