No one bid
The crowd fell silent.
Chang Mingyang's heart sank to the bottom. He stood there in a daze, not moving at all.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Chang Mingyang with mockery.
Only now did they realize that Chu Xingyun had bid against Chang Mingyang not to buy the Azure Jade Bracelet, but to trick Chang Mingyang!
Just now, Chang Mingyang had bid three million one hundred thousand spirit stones, which was one hundred thousand spirit stones more than Chu Xingyun's three million spirit stones for the Light Illusion Twin Swords.
Such a method was so ruthless. Not to mention Chang Mingyang, even the crowd couldn't react.
"How dare you trick me!" Chang Mingyang's anger exploded. He took a step forward and the void was pierced by countless silver lights. The vast space was filled with the sound of countless swords humming.
"The so-called auction is nothing more than the highest bidder winning. I bid three million Spirit Stones just now and that was my limit. Young Master Chang immediately bid three million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. I was ashamed of my inferiority and chose to give up."
Chu Xingyun didn't show any fear and sneered, "Moreover, when you bid, no one forced you. How can you say that I tampered with it?"
"You …"
Chang Mingyang was infuriated. Just as he was about to attack, a loud explosion rang out. In everyone's field of vision, a misty palm pressed down. It contained the power of heaven and earth, annihilating all the silver light.
Yun Changqing's figure flashed and appeared in the air. He said coldly, "This is the auction house. Fighting is prohibited. If you act recklessly again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
His voice was filled with coldness, causing the entire space to freeze. The aura of a Yin Yang Realm expert was incredibly domineering and could affect a part of the world. Chang Mingyang immediately stopped his killing intent and retreated.
He knew Yun Changqing's temperament very well. He was absolutely upright and impartial. Even if the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion was present, he would still act the same.
"Count yourself lucky this time!" Chang Mingyang snorted and sat down angrily.
Chu Xing Yun pretended to smile bitterly and helplessly. He moved his feet slightly and returned to his original position. His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to clash with Chang Ming Yang again.
Seeing the two of them leave, the crowd looked back at the auction stage.
However, they still stole glances at Chu Xingyun from time to time.
After the two incidents just now, the crowd had a trace of fear towards this handsome and extraordinary young man. They were all paying attention to his movements at all times so as not to follow in Chang Mingyang's footsteps.
Yun Changqing stood on the auction stage and looked at Chu Xingyun.
As the Sword Master of Wanjian Pavilion, he had seen countless geniuses. However, it was the first time he saw someone like Chu Xingyun. His methods were too mysterious and unpredictable. Even he couldn't predict it in advance.
"This young man is brave and smart. He is a good seedling. If he can enter Wanjian Pavilion, he will become a great talent in the future. Unfortunately, his talent is mediocre. Whether he can pass the trial is still unknown." Yun Changqing sighed softly in his heart.
In his opinion, Chu Xingyun's talent was not outstanding. He could only barely pass the Sword Cleansing Trial.
However, today, Chu Xingyun had offended Chang Mingyang.
With Chang Mingyang's temperament, he would most likely secretly take revenge during the trial. In this way, it would be extremely difficult to pass the Sword Cleansing Trial. It was very likely that he would die in the Arcana Land.
Thinking of this, Yun Changqing sighed again and again. After taking a deep breath, he returned to his original appearance and said seriously, "Now, the auction will continue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of delicate and pretty maids walked out quickly and took out the auction items one by one. The atmosphere in the auction house became heated again and the bidding continued.
In the VIP room.
Xia Qingcheng did not pay attention to the auction. Her beautiful eyes stared at Chu Xingyun and asked, "Childe Luo, do you have any grudges with Chang Mingyang?"
Chu Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can say that."
His two actions just now had been seen by everyone. They were all targeted at Chang Mingyang. There was no point in hiding it.
Xia Qingcheng nodded and was not too surprised. Chang Mingyang and his group were ruthless and were despised by everyone. It was normal for them to have grudges with others.
Pausing for a moment, she softly said, "This time, you've caused Chang Mingyang to lose face twice. With his personality, he will most likely try to assassinate you during the trial. You must be careful."
Feeling Xia Qingcheng's concern, Chu Xingyun smiled and nodded. However, in his heart, there was only coldness. It was still uncertain who would take revenge on whom.
As the auction progressed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more heated. The auction items on display became rarer and rarer, and the prices soared, causing waves of exclamations.
Chu Xingyun did not make a bid. He sat on the wooden chair with a relaxed expression. On the other hand, Xia Qingcheng kept bidding and bought many spiritual materials and pills. She had made a great profit.
At the beginning, she had prepared many spirit stones to buy the Light Illusion Twin Swords. After Chu Xingyun gave her the Light Illusion Twin Swords, these spirit stones could naturally be used to buy other treasures.
"The next auction item is this pitch-black heavy sword!"
At this time, Yun Changqing's loud voice caused Chu Xingyun's expression to change slightly. An undetectable light flashed through his eyes, and his entire aura changed.
In his field of vision, four tall and sturdy men strode out and lifted up a stone platform with great difficulty. Above the stone platform hung a heavy sword that was as black as ink. It did not emit any aura, nor did it hum. It just hung there quietly.
"This sword came from a secret realm. The body of the sword is simple and unremarkable, but it weighs a thousand pounds. If one can completely control it, breaking mountains and severing veins will be a cinch." Yun Changqing displayed the pitch-black heavy sword and finally said, "The starting price for this item is one million spirit stones. Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand spirit stones."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Mingyang in the VIP room stood up impatiently and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I obtained this heavy sword by accident. Although I do not know its specific grade, this sword is very mysterious. Even my father could not break it. There must be a secret hidden within it. I hope that everyone will not miss it!"
After he finished speaking, Chang Mingyang stood up straight and looked at the crowd below with shining eyes.
The reason he stayed in the auction house was to promote this heavy sword and sell it for a good price. Otherwise, after being ridiculed twice by Chu Xingyun, Chang Mingyang would have left long ago.
As expected, after the crowd heard Chang Mingyang's words, they all began to ponder.
They were not unfamiliar with this heavy sword. Although it was said to be a useless sword, its sturdiness was extremely rare. Even a powerhouse like Chang Chixiao could not break it. Perhaps, this sword really hid some unknown secret.
"This heavy sword is indeed extraordinary!"
Just as the crowd was pondering, a compliment suddenly rang out, causing Chang Mingyang to be overjoyed. However, when he saw the person who spoke, his face immediately darkened.
In his field of vision, Chu Xingyun stood up and looked down at the pitch-black heavy sword. With a hint of playfulness, he said in a clear voice, "I bid one million one hundred thousand spirit stones for this sword."
"Big thunder but small raindrops!"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's bid, Chang Mingyang couldn't help but curse in his heart. He laughed coldly, and just as he was about to mock Chu Xingyun, the entire auction house suddenly fell silent.
