Chapter 333 Auction
However, theory is one thing, and the specific action needs to be carefully discussed.
During the period when everyone fell into silence for a while, a peak martial king master from the Liuli Sect suddenly got up and hugged his fists at Gao Shun, and said to everyone with some concern in his tone: "Childe, I have no objection to let's take the Mohai Ancient City first, but the last time the Mohai Ancient City and his party were, maybe they had already made Shangguan Zhong and others take precautions." If he had quietly found a few allies and planned to deal with us together, this operation might not have gone as smoothly as we thought!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.
Gao Shun was silent, but the others nodded in agreement with this person's opinion.
After all, the hostility between Longjiang Ancient City and Mohai Ancient City has not been a day or two, and last time Xing Tianming accompanied him and them to Mohai Ancient City, and finally broke up unhappily, it is normal for Mohai Ancient City to be on guard. Although it is unlikely that they will find a few strong allies in a short period of time, it is true that the Dragon Frontier Ancient City should not act rashly just in case.
"What do you think we should do?"
Gao Shun was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at the man who had just been alert, and asked without a trace of emotion.
The man who had just spoken looked to be in his early forties, and his appearance was unremarkable, the type that he couldn't find if he was thrown into the crowd. But the occasional glimmer of light in his eyes showed that this person had a delicate heart under his ordinary appearance.
This time, he followed Gao Shun and others to the Linhai area, and almost never spoke on the way. It wasn't until Gao Shun planned to attack Mohai Ancient City that this middle-aged man named Zhang Cangsheng suddenly reminded him.
Zhang Cangsheng heard Gao Shun's question, thought for a moment and said to Gao Shun again: "I just looked at the map of the Linhai area, and found that the Evil Sun Ancient City is the most likely object of the alliance of the Mohai Ancient City. Regardless of whether Shangguan Zhong and the others had really been to the Evil Sun Ancient City or not, there would be no harm in us getting in touch with the Evil Sun Ancient City in advance! I believe that as long as we pay a little price, the people of the Evil Sun Ancient City should not be so ignorant. Even if they don't directly submit to the Liuli Sect like the Ancient City of Longjiang, they shouldn't ally with the Mohai Ancient City to fight against us again. ”
After Zhang Cangsheng finished speaking, there was a silence in the hall again, obviously everyone was thinking about whether his proposal just now was feasible.
Xing Tianming glanced at Zhang Cangsheng in some surprise, but he didn't say anything, as if as long as Gao Shun and the others didn't give up attacking Mohai Ancient City, he would already be satisfied.
As the city lord of Longjiang Ancient City, Xing Tianming knew better than Zhang Cangsheng the relationship between Mohai Ancient City and Evil Sun Ancient City. Although there had never been a precedent for these two ancient cities to form an alliance, under the current situation in the Tiannan Region, it was indeed very likely that Mohai Ancient City would persuade the Evil Sun Ancient City to form an alliance.
It's just that Xing Tianming was afraid that after pointing out this matter, Gao Shun would give up his plan to attack Mohai Ancient City, so he endured it and didn't say anything. Although Zhang Cangsheng pointed it out for him now, he did not persuade Gao Shun to give up the intention of conquering the ancient city of Mohai, so Xing Tianming turned a blind eye.
Gao Shun's eyes swept over Xing Tianming and Zhang Cangsheng, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He pondered for a moment again, then raised his head and slapped directly at Zhang Cangsheng: "I will give you three days, no matter what the outcome of your negotiations with the Evil Sun Ancient City is, I will take the masters of the Longjiang Ancient City to attack the Mohai Ancient City." The search for the two-headed flying Jiao Neidan can't be delayed any longer, you should understand it in your heart!"
"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely live up to Childe's expectations!"
Zhang Cangsheng nodded solemnly after getting Gao Shun's consent, and then turned around and left the hall of the City Lord's Mansion directly, preparing to go to the Evil Sun Ancient City to negotiate with the City Lord Zong Tianlin in person.
After he left, the ancient city of Longjiang immediately prepared for war under Gao Shun's order, and prepared for a few days later, the whole army was dispatched to completely conquer the Linhai area with the ancient city of Mohai as the starting point.
The coastal area is turbulent, but on the surface there is still a basic peace. Only the auction of the Liuchuan Valley Treasure Hall has attracted everyone's attention and has become the focus of discussion among the major ancient cities in the Linhai area in the past few days.
On the day of the auction, powerhouses from the major ancient cities poured into the auction hall of the Hall of Treasures, looking eagerly at the majestic two-headed flying corpse on the stand.
Because the goods in this auction were only the corpse of a two-headed flying dragon, Yan Xiayun, who personally presided over the auction, did not talk nonsense, and immediately began to give a brief introduction to the corpse of this two-headed flying Jiao after the guests sat down one after another.
"As we all know, the double-headed flying beast is very rare in the entire Ten Thousand Souls Continent, and its scales, claws, skin, and even internal organs, bones, and meridians are all the best materials for alchemy or refining. What's more, this two-headed flying dragon had been promoted to the realm of the Martial Emperor before it was killed, and its value was even more immeasurable! Although it lacked Neidan, the total value of the entire two-headed flying Jiao corpse was definitely no longer below 12 million golden tickets, so the starting price of this auction was 12 million golden tickets! Everyone, the bidding has officially started now!"
After Yan Xiayun announced the starting price of the double-headed flying Jiao, the entire auction hall suddenly resounded with a gasp. The guests who originally thought they would be able to come to the auction to pick up the leak all drooped their faces, as if they were completely dead.
But those customers who were determined to win the double-headed flying dragon seemed to have expected this to be the case, and were not intimidated by the starting price of 12 million. Therefore, after the initial noise and silence, a gray-haired old man immediately raised his hand and shouted at Yan Xiayun, "Twelve.5 million!"
When Yan Xiayun heard the old man's bidding, his face immediately showed a hint of joy, and his tone was even more enthusiastic and announced to everyone: "Senior Liu Xian from Dongming Ancient City bid 12.5 million, is there anything higher? This two-headed flying dragon's corpse has a wide range of uses, and you will definitely not regret it after buying it." The current price is 12.5 million, is there anything higher?"
"Twelve million eight million!"
"Twelve million nine hundred thousand!"
"I'll give out 13 million golden tickets!"
Under the lure of Yan Xiayun, some customers with financial resources finally couldn't help it, and quoted their prices one after another, hoping to get the double-headed flyer in their pockets.
However, the popularity of this auction exceeded Yan Xiayun's previous expectations, and when the price was pushed up to 15 million golden tickets, the sound of bidding did not decrease at all, but gradually increased.
The customers who were stunned by the price of the two-headed flying dragon have now become completely outsiders, and they all looked at those who continued to quote in the venue in a stunned manner, their eyes full of envy.
Although it is not clear which force these people are coming from, it is certain that the people who are still competing are basically from the big families or big forces of the major ancient cities. It is basically impossible for the scattered cultivators in the Linhai area to have such strong financial resources to join their battle, so they can only be a bystander and silently witness the final belonging of the two-headed flying dragon.
"I'll give out 17 million golden tickets!"
When the bidding for the two-headed flying Jiao was pushed up from 16.5 million to 17 million gold tickets, the entire venue suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man who had made the offer, looking at the look of shock and incredulity written on it.
"It's Shen Bohan, the young city lord of Qianfeng Ancient City!"
"Oh my God, even the people from the City Lord's Mansion are here in person!"
"I don't dare to bid now!"
"Yes, it's not worth offending Qianfeng Ancient City for a two-headed flying dragon!"
When the young man's identity was recognized, everyone else began to talk about it, once again lamenting the impact of the auction.
After all, although Liuchuan Valley is famous, it is mainly between some scattered cultivators and forces below the City Lord's Mansion, and it is generally impossible to attract people from the City Lord's Mansion to be present in person. Now the young city lord of Qianfeng Ancient City came in person, and while pushing this auction to a climax, it also once again proved that the attraction of the two-headed flying dragon is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing that everyone in the venue looked at him in surprise, Shen Bohan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of pride.
This time, in order to improve its own strength as much as possible when the chaos came, Qianfeng Ancient City spared no expense to let Shen Bohan come to Liuchuan Valley with a huge amount of money, just to pocket this two-headed flying dragon. The double-headed flying dragon is full of treasures, whether it is used for alchemy or refining, it can improve the strength of Qianfeng Ancient City in a short period of time.
Shen Bohan's determination to buy the two-headed flying Jiao was so firm that he stood up directly from his seat after shouting the price, deliberately letting everyone recognize his identity. Even if some people wanted to continue to shout for the price of the two-headed flying dragon, after seeing the faint threat in Shuang Bohan's eyes, most of them dispelled their original thoughts.
Yan Xiayun saw Shen Bohan quote the price of 17 million golden tickets, and the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic. He waved his hand at the crowd in the venue to signal them to be quiet, and then continued to incite enthusiastically: "Seventeen million golden tickets! Now the price of the corpse of the two-headed flying Jiao is seventeen million golden tickets! Is there anything higher, if not, this two-headed flying Jiao will officially belong to Young Master Shen Bohan?"
However, this time the venue was quiet, and Yan Xiayun's incitement did not have an effect again.
On the one hand, the price of 17 million golden tickets is indeed high enough, and even if there are people in the venue who want to buy them, it is estimated that they will not be able to get more golden tickets. On the other hand, Shen Bohan's threat was imminent, and few people would offend the young city lord of an ancient city just to bid for a treasure.
After all, there is not only one way to enhance one's own strength, but if you have a bad relationship with Qianfeng Ancient City because of this, and there is no backer behind you to support you, you will have to be careful everywhere in the coastal area in the future. If a person who doesn't pay attention to being caught by the people of Qianfeng Ancient City, I'm afraid no one can save himself.
So after Yan Xiayun finished speaking, there was no response in the venue for a long time. Shen Bohan glanced at the venue with a satisfied expression, and was about to urge Yan Xiayun to announce the final ownership of the two-headed flying dragon.
But just when Yan Xiayun also thought that this auction was about to end, a man with a black cloak suddenly raised his hand and shouted at Yan Xiayun in a calm voice: "Seventeen and a half million!"
