After all, the Valley of the Sacred Sword was a first-rate sect. The wealth of its disciples was unimaginable. As for Luo Ping and the others, even if they were to stake everything, it would still be difficult for them to compare.
In the hearts of the crowd, they all believed that the competition this time would end with the defeat of Luo Ping and the others.
"Twenty million Spirit Stones. I don't believe that you can offer a higher price. You're not qualified to compete with me."
Invincible Cang Bai directly raised the price to twenty million and threw down a ruthless remark, giving Zhan Lei extreme disdain.
When the price was spoken, the entire auction house was in an uproar. After all, the highest price before was only three million Spirit Stones.
Now, the price of twenty million had reached nearly seven times the price. This made those who lacked Spirit Stones curse in their hearts, cursing the unfairness.
As for the Principal Elder of the Lightning Crane Chamber of Commerce, his heart was blooming with joy. He couldn't wait for Invincible Cang Bai and Zhan Lei to continue competing.
Just when the crowd was in shock, another voice rang out, completely igniting the atmosphere.
"Hmph, not qualified? I want to see who's not qualified. Thirty million Spirit Stones."
Zhan Lei's voice was filled with anger. Clearly, he was enraged by Invincible Cang Bai's words.
This time, he actually increased the price by ten million. It could be said that he wouldn't give up until the Spiritual Artifact was sold.
"You're indeed rich and overbearing. Since you like this Combination Spiritual Artifact so much, I can't take it away from you."
"A gentleman helps others. I won't bid anymore. This Combination Spiritual Artifact will be given to you. I hope that you will cherish it well. After all, you spent thirty million Spirit Stones to buy it. It can't be damaged."
Invincible Cang Bai's voice rang out. Contrary to the crowd's expectations, he actually didn't continue to compete and took the initiative to give up.
From his previous state of being determined to win, the crowd thought that he would fight to the death with the person from the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
But now, he actually took the initiative to withdraw. It was indeed hard to accept.
After a moment of confusion, many people figured out the crux of the matter. Each and every one of them revealed a meaningful smile.
"Lei 'er, although it appears that we've obtained victory in this battle, we've actually lost."
"Although you won this set of combined spirit artifacts, you spent too many unnecessary spirit stones. Moreover, that person's last words were obviously a pretense of being generous."
"On the surface, his words sounded like he was helping you, but in reality, any intelligent person could tell that he was toying with you. His goal was to make you waste a large amount of spirit stones."
"I reckon that a lot of people already think of you as a sucker, an idiot who is being led by the nose by others. This time, we have lost a lot of face!"
True Monarch Jian Qing said in a low voice.
When Cang Bai's voice fell, he immediately understood everything. In this contest, their Valley of the Sacred Sword was once again completely defeated.
At this moment, Zhan Lei's face was full of anger and extremely gloomy. In fact, even without Perfected Cultivator Jian Qing's reminder, he had already guessed the other party's motive.
Unrivaled Cang Bai's actions were indeed unexpected. Zhan Lei simply didn't expect that the opponent who had been determined to win and couldn't wait to fight to the end would actually give up so decisively.
He didn't believe that Unrivaled Cang Bai was deliberately toying with him from the beginning. After all, if he had given up midway, then the one who had to spend a large amount of spirit stones would have been Unrivaled Cang Bai.
In other words, Unrivaled Cang Bai had indeed changed his mind at the last moment and unhesitatingly gave up the fight. Such a decisive and straightforward action was truly admirable.
"Master's words are extremely true. However, this disciple really needs this set of combined spirit artifacts, which is why I'm unwilling to give up."
"However, this disciple didn't expect that person to give up so easily, and actually do such a thing in the end, making us lose face."
"It seems that the group surnamed Luo is indeed cunning and treacherous. It's best that they don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will definitely not let them off."
Zhan Lei's tone was fierce. He was full of resentment towards Luo Ping and the others, and was already considering how to deal with them.
"It's not that I'm looking down on you, but Luo Ping's cultivation strength is definitely higher than yours, even if it's not on par with Gongzi Yu."
"If you want to deal with him, the one who will suffer in the end will definitely be you. Therefore, it's best that you don't rashly provoke him. Otherwise, you might lose your life. Do you remember?"
Supreme Jianqing unceremoniously pointed out the gap between Zhan Lei and Luo Ping, reminding him not to rashly provoke Luo Ping.
Hearing this, Zhan Lei's face turned somewhat ugly, but he still immediately guaranteed.
"This disciple will follow Master's teachings!"
While Zhan Lei was speaking, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
… … …
"Hahaha, I'm guessing that the person in the Valley of the Sacred Sword must be fuming right now. Foster Father, this move of yours is really … really powerful!"
Gong Xiang laughed loudly and said to Unrivaled Cang Bai.
"I'm afraid you just wanted to say that this move of Foster Father's is really vicious, right? When will you be able to hide your thoughts from Foster Father! "
Unrivaled Cang Bai raised his eyebrows and said.
"Sigh, Brother Unrivaled, even if Gong Xiang thinks it's a vicious move, it's not wrong. We all think it's vicious enough."
"I really didn't expect Brother Unrivaled to be so decisive in handling matters. You suddenly gave up the fight and even teased the other party. Although you lost the auction item, you gained the upper hand."
"Now, everyone will think that the person in the Valley of the Sacred Sword is a fool who was led by the nose and played by Brother Unrivaled. This time, they lost face again, hahaha!"
Duan Jinchen was very impressed with Unrivaled Cang Bai's approach. After all, to be able to take the initiative to give up a treasure that one valued was not a simple matter.
Not only did Unrivaled Cang Bai give up decisively, but he also turned the other party around. It was enough to show his decisiveness and resourcefulness.
"Actually, this was just a spur of the moment idea. Even with Young Master Ping's help, I could still continue to compete with the other party. However, spending so many Spirit Stones to buy this set of Combination Spiritual Weapons is not worth it."
"Although I value this set of Combination Spiritual Weapons very much, I won't lose my mind because of it. When it's time to give up, I will naturally give up."
"However, even if I give up, I can't lose face. Thus, I thought of this move. On the surface, it looks like I'm generously giving it to the other party. In fact, any smart person can understand that I'm deliberately toying with the other party."
"This way, although I didn't get the Combination Spiritual Weapons, I didn't lose face. On the contrary, the Valley of the Sacred Sword lost face. How delightful!"
After Unrivaled Cang Bai finished speaking, he laughed heartily. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his approach.
"This time, although we have the upper hand, we have further offended the Valley of the Sacred Sword. The Valley of the Sacred Sword will definitely not let this matter rest."
"With the strength of the Valley of the Sacred Sword, I'm afraid that they will definitely find an opportunity to deal with us. Therefore, seniors, please be careful."
At this moment, Luo Ping reminded everyone to be on guard against the Valley of the Sacred Sword attacking them at any time.
"Anyway, many people now know that we are following Young Master Ping. Even if Brother Unrivaled doesn't offend them this time, they will not let us off with their previous grudges with Young Master Ping."
"Since the outcome will be the same, why should we be afraid of them? Why don't we show our courage and boldness and fight with them to the end?"
Zhong Yi's resolute words resonated with the others. They all nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well said. Since you have nothing to be afraid of, I'm relieved. Although the Valley of the Sacred Sword is powerful, it won't be that easy to deal with us."
"If they really don't know what's good for them and insist on killing me, then I don't mind completely destroying the Valley of the Sacred Sword and making it disappear from the world."
Luo Ping's tone was overbearing and threatening. Although his words were a little exaggerated, the people around him didn't think that he was arrogant.
This was because they already knew that Luo Ping's forces had many powerful spiritual beasts. Moreover, they were all famous demonic beasts in ancient times.
In addition, Luo Ping now had the forces of the Five Elements Tantric Sect, the Heavenly Fox Demon King of the Demon Race and the Vast Sky Star Lord of the Immortal Confucian Sect as his backing. It was enough to contend with the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
It could be said that even if the Valley of the Sacred Sword wanted to deal with Luo Ping, they wouldn't do it openly. Instead, they would do it secretly.
Therefore, the people didn't think that Luo Ping's words were exaggerated. Instead, they felt that it was reasonable.
"Destroying a first-class sect force, it's exciting to think about it. No matter when, as long as Young Master Ping orders, we will do our best and never retreat."
"Yes, although our cultivation strength is a little weak, none of us will retreat. When the time comes, we will definitely kill the Valley of the Sacred Sword and make a river of blood."
"However, after all, the Valley of the Sacred Sword has a Dacheng Stage Transit Star Lord. Unless we can restrain him, otherwise, even if we have a strong force, it will be difficult to play a role."
When the others felt that it was very exciting to be able to destroy the Valley of the Sacred Sword, Xiao Yan also said a key problem.
That was the Valley of the Sacred Sword. After all, there was a Dacheng Stage powerhouse. If the Transit Star Lord made a move, he could kill all of them with one hand.
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly fell. After all, a Dacheng Stage powerhouse was destined to be an immortal. His means were naturally terrifying.
Even in the face of hundreds and thousands of Dongxu Stage self-cultivators, a Dacheng Stage powerhouse could easily deal with them.
This was the difference between going through the tribulation and not going through the tribulation. The difference before and after the tribulation was the difference between heaven and earth. It was insurmountable.
"Don't worry, the time limit of the Transit Star Lord's ascension shouldn't be too far away. Even if according to the usual practice, he will use the Valley of the Sacred Sword's Celestial Artifact to help Perfected Cultivator Jian Qing improve his cultivation and successfully go through the tribulation, it won't be a big problem."
"As long as the Transit Star Lord ascends, with the strength of Perfected Cultivator Jian Qing who has just gone through the tribulation, we can still deal with him."
"Even if we go to war with the Valley of the Sacred Sword before the Transit Star Lord ascends, I still have a way to restrain him, so you don't have to worry."
