“You’re welcome to try,” Huo Xi said in an icy tone.
She glanced at the Seven-Colored Divine Stone being auctioned, a cunning look flashing in her eyes. “Today, 1 am determined to obtain this stone. I want to see if you can really stop me. 3.5 million!”
“4 million!”
Before Huo Xi could even finish speaking, the Golden Crow Clan prince immediately followed, each time raising the price by 500,000 supreme-grade spirit stones higher than hers.
500,000 supreme-grade spirit stones… this was an astronomical amount. No one present dared to hike the price so recklessly. One had to know that even the initial low-grade Dao weapon sold for only hundreds of thousands. Yet, these two had already bid an amount exceeding that for several low-grade Dao weapons in a short period of time, and they looked utterly nonchalant about it.
“5 million!”
“5.5 million!”
“6 million!”
“6.5 million!”
“8 million!”
“8.5 million!”
“9 million!”
“10 million!”
With a sky-high bid of ten million spirit stones, the entire auction hall fell into silence. In the history of the East Barrens, there had been instances where individuals bid tens of millions of supreme-grade spirit stones at auctions., but the key was that this Seven-Colored Divine Stone was merely a saint-level material! Though it was precious, it was nowhere near worth this price! 10 million supreme-grade spirit stones could buy five such stones easily! Moreover, even obtaining this Seven-Colored Divine Stone would not allow one to forge a sacred weapon.
Yet despite being fairly useless, it had been driven up to 10 million, enough to bankrupt a top-tier sect instantly. Even the former Great Mystery Sect could not produce so many supreme-grade stones before being promoted to a saint-level force.
“Congratulations!” Huo Xi said with a smile. “The stone is yours. 1 won’t raise the price further!”
The Golden Crow Clan prince froze upon hearing this, stunned for a long time. Had he…been played? He, a prince of the Golden Crow Clan, was made a fool of by a mere Spirit Sea Realm cultivator? Huo Xi had no intention of bidding at all. Her determination had only been to mislead and drive up the price! From the moment he opened his mouth, he had already lost, for this was a trap Huo Xi had laid.
“Huo Xi, you are courting death!” The Golden Crow Clan prince finally reacted, rising with a gloomy expression.
Boom!
Terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the auction hail. His golden hair billowed like an awakened celestial god, striking fear in all who saw him. 10 million supreme-grade stones was a massive sum even for a Golden Crow Clan prince. Even as a prince, if the news that he used 10 million to buy a fist-sized material spread, he would become a laughingstock among the other princes. “Though you are a Golden Crow Clan prince, do not forget this is the Holy City!” Huo Xi said fearlessly as if having expected this. “The territory of the Yin Yang Holy Land and auction house of the True Treasure Pavilion. Do you dare cause trouble here?”
“That’s right,” the blue-robed man echoed. “The Golden Crow Clan is of the Demon Race, yet here is human territory. Do you dare be presumptuous?”
“If I want to kill you today, who can stop me?” The Golden Crow Clan prince strode forth, his aura growing sharper. He glanced at Yin Lie beside him and spoke in a deep voice, “Brother Yin, if 1 kill her, will you intervene?”
“Suit yourself,” Yin Lie said awkwardly. Though known as a core disciple of the Yin Yang Holy Land, his status was still far below this prince. With the prince clearly intending to attack, there was no need to offend him for strangers.
Moreover, Yin Lie might not even be a match. Even if the Yin Yang Holy Land’s Holy Son came, perhaps he would not defeat this prince who was already at the Quasi-Saint Realm! Among humans, only one person could likely suppress him.
Though softly spoken, those two words represented the Yin Yang Holy Land’s stance. Everyone’s hearts tightened, as the Yin Yang Holy Land clearly intended to remain neutral. The only ones who could prevent bloodshed were the True Treasure Pavilion! But while their strength was formidable, this was merely a branch, with the Pavilion Master only at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. He would not provoke the Golden Crow Clan. Thus, the battle today seemed inevitable!
“You believe you can survive in human territory?” the Golden Crow Clan prince exclaimed. “How naively laughable!” Golden light shone around him as his surging aura drowned the hall. Those present felt this horrifying pressure, their expressions changing in unison. They had thought this an ordinary auction, yet who could have expected such developments?
“I remember now! This girl has the legendary Eternal Forbidden Body!”
“It’s her?”
“She only recently rose to prominence. I didn’t expect to see her in the Holy City!”
“Wait, did you say the Eternal Forbidden Body? Wasn’t that physique extinct ages ago? How can it appear now?”
“Right! Countless experts proved it couldn’t be cultivated. How did she reach the Spirit Sea Realm?”
“I don’t know the details, but clearly her talent is outstanding!”
“At the Spirit Sea Realm, she killed multiple Golden Crow Clan princes!”
“Hiss! Even the weakest Golden Crow Clan prince is at the Nirvana Realm!”
Many present gasped in shock. The Golden Crow Clan princes were all famous, even the youngest Tenth Prince at the Nirvana Realm. The Eldest Prince was a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse, a single step from the Saint Realm! That this girl could kill Golden Crow Clan princes, even if their exact identities were unknown, meant she had slain Nirvana Realm warriors at the Spirit Sea Realm! This placed her at the very top tier among the prodigies..
