Chapter 167 The War Is Coming!
The young man in room No. 50 had been tricked. The price he had to pay was very high. The one billion was an astronomical figure.
However, in others’ view, this was just an interlude. After all, they were not the ones who were going to pay. Soon, everyone’s interest was completely focused on the tenth item.
It was the Tripod of the Western Queen.
It could be said that most of the people were here for it, whether they were from the Martial Tao world or the secular world.
The Tripod of the Western Queen was the final item of the auction, the highlight of the show. When they received the invitation, there was a detailed explanation about the Tripod of the Western Queen attached to the invitation.
Now the Tripod of the Western Queen was officially on display and everyone was excited. It was as if there were a group of demons dancing in riotous revelry.
Although the auction had not officially started yet, the atmosphere had already become intense, as if a sharp conflict was going to happen.
“I don’t need to explain the efficacy of the Tripod of the Western Queen, do I? Let us start the auction then. The base price is 100 million, and each increase should be no less than 10 million.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the biddings came in fast and furious.
After 15 minutes, the price had already increased to 500 million.
Moreover, the price was still rising. In the blink of an eye, the price reached one billion.
“They really spend money like water!” Chu Xun chuckled and said.
Hua Qingwu and Hua Sheng shared the same feeling. Here, money had fallen in value greatly. They guessed that the total value of this auction would be equivalent to the GDP of a small country.
Everyone seemed to be determined to get the Tripod of the Western Queen, so the price soon rose to 1.5 billion. At this time, some small financial groups withdrew, because they did not have enough money to continue bidding.
There were only about 20 groups bidding. In any case, the transaction price of the Tripod of the Western Queen would absolutely be world-shocking.
Now, the price was 1.8 billion, and a few more people withdrew, too.
“2 billion.”
This price was offered by the young man in room No. 50. He almost went mad after being tricked by Chu Xun. But right now, there was a radiance of wisdom in his eyes and he no longer pretended to be a hot-blooded and impulsive youth.
However, he looked at room No. 77 with malice in his eyes from time to time.
2 billion was an astronomical figure.
It was a money game.
At this point, those who were capable of bidding would be the large financial groups and big forces from the Martial Tao world.
At this time, there were five groups bidding.
Every time the price was raised by 10 million, the young man in room No. 50 would increase his price by 100 million.
The price went up to 2.3 billion.
There were only two of the five groups left.
“2.35 billion.”
The bidder was also a big force from the Martial Tao world.
“2.4 billion.” The youth gritted his teeth and said.
“Young Master, we don’t have much money left,” the grandmaster of Sixth Grade reminded the youth.
This time, they brought 3.5 billion with them and they had spent 1 billion buying the Golden Crow Herb.
Therefore, they only had 1 billion left for the bidding.
The young man thought about it for a moment and asked, “Is there any property belonging to our sect in Yunyan City?”
The grandmaster of Sixth Grade’s face darkened and he said in a sinister voice, “There was a Yun Family in the past, but it has been destroyed by Chu Xun.”
The young man said with a gloomy look, “I will let Chu Xun die without a burial place sooner or later.”
“Huh?” The young man was slightly stunned, because he did not hear the price offered by the other party.
“Could it be that the other party’s bottom line is 2.4 billion?” The young man said to himself.
“Whatever! I only want the Tripod of the Western Queen.” The young man was overjoyed.
Chu Xun was slightly stunned. According to the momentum, the bidder in room no.66 would not be intimidated by the price of 2.4 billion.
As he spread his divine sense, the situation in room No. 66 was reflected in his mind.
There were also six people inside, one woman and five men.
The woman was in her twenties. She was slender and good-looking, but her dressing... was a suit of black leather, which outlined her perfect figure. There were a few strands of purple hair among her back hair and she had smoky eyes. She was sitting cross-legged with a slender lady’s cigarette in his one hand. Her posture was beautiful, but she did not look like a decent girl.
Of the five men, one was a grandmaster of Sixth Grade, while the other four were only in Acquired Realm.
The situation was similar to that in room No. 50.
“Miss, why didn’t you bid?” the old man asked.
The girl blew a cloud of smoke, which flew far away and did not disperse. If a chain smoker saw this, he or she would know that the smoke did not reach her throat at all. Her eyelids coated with black shadow were raised as she said, “Let’s not waste our money. Just let the other party get it. Presbyter Ge, you can go and get it back later. That’s all.”
The eyes of Presbyter Ge, a grandmaster of Sixth Grade, suddenly bulged. He thought about it seriously for a moment and then nodded his head.
Chu Xun could clearly see that Presbyter Ge was looking at the young girl with admiration in his eyes.
What kind of people were these people? They actually cooperated with the younger generation to steal.
No wonder the government officials did not like the people from the Martial Tao world. These people were really unscrupulous and often robbed people. They were too savage.
Everyone in room No. 50 was overjoyed, because the hammer had already been struck twice.
“2.45 billion.”
Hua Sheng’s sudden bid caused the hammer that was going to come down for the third time, to stop in mid-air, made the smiles of those from the Heaven Tao Sect freeze, and made the rest of the people excited.
People of room No. 77 were out to make trouble again. Everyone took pleasure in the misfortune of the people from room No. 50. For others, this trip was not in vain. Although they would not get the Tripod of the Western Queen, it was still good to watch the two conflicts.
People from the Heaven Tao Sect were extremely furious. They thought that people from room No. 77, who always counter bidded at the most critical moment, were hateful and that it was obvious that they were targeting them.
The young man’s face was distorted with ferocity.
“2.5 billion.” The youth said viciously.
That price was their limit.
“Well, I will let you guys have it then,” Hua Sheng said magnanimously.
“What? Is it over?” Everyone was dissatisfied. They thought the trap this time was too easy.
They did not know that Chu Xun had already known what the other party’s bottom line was. If they raised the price again, they would hurt themselves by their own doing.
The young man from the Heaven Tao Sect was so angry that his face was distorted. He had bitten his own lips so hard that the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He roared in a low voice, “Presbyter Liang, I want them alive. I will let them know that offending me is worse than dying.”
“Yes.” Presbyter Liang’s tone was bloodthirsty. He was also so angry that his stomach was roiling.
The bid for the Tripod of the Western Queen was ultimately won by the Heaven Tao Sect. Of course, it was only a temporary victory.
...
After the auction was over, the guests left, one after another.
The people from the Martial Tao world sensed something unusual. It seemed that something was going to happen and they were all waiting for a good show.
“Miss, let’s leave now.” The grandmaster of Second Grade in room No. 42 felt uneasy.
The three of them left quickly.
However, they did not know that Chu Xun was following them.
“It seems that they are going the same way. It is good that we can save time,” the youth from the Heaven Tao Sect said viciously.
They followed Chu Xun and the other two.
“That is interesting.” When the floozy saw this scene, she felt that it would be entertaining and followed them with her people.
A mantis was stalking the cicada, while there was an oriole behind, trailing the mantis. Besides, the hunter had already raised his gun. But it was unknown at this time as to who was the mantis, who was the oriole and who was the hunter.
Dozens of cars rushed out of the underground garage of Linghang Building, one by one.
“Grandpa Fei, there is a car following us.” The girl from room No. 42 looked at the black Rolls-Royce Phantom behind them and said.
“As expected, someone is going to rob us of the Sword of Goujian,” The old man said with a serious expression.
“Overtake the car and force them to the suburbs,” The Young Master of the Heaven Tao Sect sneered and said. In order to bring back the Tripod of the Western Queen, they specially drove the Raptor, which was the greatest car in the world and very steady.
The huge Raptor suddenly sped up and overtook Chu Xun’s Rolls-Royce. It caught up with the Land-Rover driven by the people from room No. 42 in front and hit it from the back.
Bang!
Sparks flew everywhere. The door of the Land Rover sagged a little and the car was almost knocked over. The Land Rover had no advantage over the Raptor.
“Young Master and Miss, sit tight!” the old man said in a low voice. Then, he suddenly changed the direction and drove the car to an unsurfaced road, heading south.
What they did not know was that this was what the Heaven Tao Sect wanted.
The Raptor followed closely behind the Land Rover.
“Follow them,” Chu Xun said indifferently.
Hua Sheng was very excited as he would finally see a battle between the forces from the Martial Tao world. He would get to see Devil Chu fight against others.
The floozy’s car also followed behind.
There were also many cars behind them, and all of them were from the Martial Tao world. The fight was about to begin and they could not wait to watch it.
On the dusty road, dozens of cars were chasing each other. Dust flew up all over, like dragons made up of mud, flying in the sky.
