Chapter 429: Sky-High Price Spirit Array

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When this voice rang out, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Over a thousand gazes followed the direction of the voice and finally gathered on a man dressed in blood-red clothes, whose appearance was covered under a bamboo hat.

“It’s actually the Blood Spirit Society…”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that they would actually come as well.”

A moment later, everyone began to whisper to each other.

The Blood Spirit Society’s performance on the stage that day, their ruthless and brutal methods, was unforgettable to everyone. They even felt fear in their hearts. So much so that when everyone heard the name of the Blood Spirit Society, they could not help but feel a chill down their spines. The people sitting around the red-clothed man even hurriedly left their seats, it was as if they were afraid that the fellow next to them would take their lives if he was unhappy.

Gu Xi frowned. It was obvious that she was a little surprised by the appearance of the Blood Spirit Society. He was even more surprised that the Blood Spirit Society would bid against him.

“An earth grade intermediate level spirit array is not considered a rare treasure. Could it be that someone in the Blood Spirit Society’s team is also a spirit array master?”

Gu Xi indifferently glanced at the position of the red-clothed man and guessed.

Although the Blood Spirit Society’s bid had somewhat exceeded his expectations, this did not mean that he would give up on fighting for this spirit array because of this.

Other people were afraid of the Blood Spirit Society, but Gu Xi was not the slightest bit afraid. He even wanted to find an opportunity to ‘spar’ with them properly.

“3.8 million.” Gu Xi raised his hand and said calmly.

“4 million.” The red-clothed man spoke again without the slightest hesitation.

Gu Xi narrowed her eyes and made another bid, “4.5 million.”

“5 million.” The red-clothed man also followed suit.

At this moment, in the huge auction hall, other than the sound of two people bidding, no one else spoke. Perhaps it could be said that no one dared to speak.

One side represented the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, while the other side came from a small and unknown sect. However, their strength was strong, and they killed without batting an eyelid.

In general, both sides were not easy to provoke. No one was willing to provoke either side because of an earth-grade spirit array at this time. After all, no one could guarantee that they would not be able to meet both sides in the future Grand Sect Competition. Once the two sides were dissatisfied with the bidding now, both sides would not be lenient in the arena at that time.

In the huge auction hall, Gu Xi and the red-clothed man’s bidding sounds rang out one after another. Soon, the price of this earth-grade spirit array had risen to a sky-high price of 10 million.

A full 10 million high-grade spirit stones, which far exceeded the actual price of an earth-grade middle-tier spirit array. Even if this spirit array had the power of a high-tier spirit array, it would not be so expensive.

Everyone quietly watched this good show, not daring to even breathe loudly.

“Why don’t we just forget about it? The origin of the Blood Spirit Society is unknown. It’s best to avoid interacting with them as much as possible. I’m sure you know their methods very well.”

Just as Gu Xi was about to bid again, Tong Shan, who was at the side, held his hand in time and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly.

Hearing this, Gu Xi frowned slightly. For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

The two parties had already competed to such an extent. If either side gave up the bid first, it would undoubtedly be a sign of admitting defeat!

“Why aren’t you bidding? Could it be that you don’t have any money?” At this moment, the red-clothed man’s voice sounded again.

However, this time, it was not a bid. His words could be said to be full of ridicule.

As soon as these words were said, a killing intent flashed in the depths of Gu Xi’s eyes.

These words were undoubtedly used to humiliate him!

However, the 10 million high-grade spirit stones in front of him had already exceeded the value of this auction item itself. If he continued to increase the price, it would undoubtedly be a waste of spirit stones.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xi forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart and the impulse to continue bidding with the red-clothed man. The slight anger on his face had already disappeared without a trace. He grinned, he said, “Since brother likes this spirit array so much, I, Gu Lan, can’t take it away from you. I’ll just give it to you.”

After saying that, Gu Xi kept his mouth shut and did not intend to raise the price anymore.

“If that’s the case, I really have to thank you.” The man in red chuckled, but there was no trace of gratitude in his words.

Gu Xi was unmoved, but in his heart, he had already started to plan his next move.

“Do you really think that you can take what I want away from me?”

Gu Xi’s gaze fell on the spirit array on the stage, and he muttered, “You better really have this ability, or else I’ll make you regret it.”

His voice was very soft, and only Tong Shan, who was beside him, could barely hear it.

When Tong Shan heard this, he could not help but be stunned. He immediately understood Gu Xi’s intentions. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he still did not say anything to persuade Gu Xi.

He understood what Gu Xi meant. It was nothing more than to resolve this matter after the event. He was merely letting the red-clothed man ‘keep’ the spirit array for a while.

And the way to resolve this matter naturally wouldn’t be without a storm of bloodshed.

This sort of thing could be said to be quite common in an auction. As a Sub-pavilion Master of the Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Tong Shan could be said to have heard of this sort of thing frequently. Ince the auction ended and the Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s place was out… As for what happened to the auction item or who it ended up in, it was not up to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to care about it.

However, although Gu Xi was not a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he was currently working for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. If he were to watch him do such a dangerous thing, it would not be right.

For a moment, Tong Shan was caught in a dilemma.

On the other hand, Gu Xi had already closed his eyes, as if he was resting. He ignored the man in red’s provocative words and chose to wait quietly for the auction to end.

Seeing that Gu Xi was ignoring him, the man in red did not say anything else. Instead, his gaze fell on Tang Conglin on the stage.

Tang Conglin immediately understood. He glanced around the audience and asked in a deep voice, “Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?”

The audience fell silent. No one dared to speak.

They would not even dare to speak now, let alone raise the price. They were afraid that they would offend the God of Plagues of the Blood Spirit Society.

“In that case, I announce that the Blood Spirit Society has obtained this earth-grade intermediate spirit array, the Double Lotus Spirit Slaughtering Array, at a price of 10 million high-grade spirit stones.”

Tang Conglin was not surprised by the silence below the stage. He quickly announced the final result of this round of auction.
