Chapter 1166: Chapter 1165: Lady Ying, Feel Free! (1st update)
Looking at Ye Haochuan’s icy gaze, Chen Kelin couldn’t help but shiver.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, it was very clear that Senior Brother Jin had indeed lost. In front of this crowd, he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to.
“Hmph, it’s just this auction and two peak spirit artifacts, take them if you must!” Chen Kelin snorted coldly, then took out a longsword and a great seal from his ring and threw them on the ground.
As the two items appeared, many around couldn’t help but widen their eyes. Most here were only Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, with a fierce desire for peak spirit artifacts.
Ye Haochuan effortlessly won two peak spirit artifacts in a single fight, much to the envy of others.
Chen Kelin’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch, pretending it was nothing while his heart bled.
These two artifacts were what he used regularly. Even with his status as Hall Master of Proud World Alliance’s Secular World Hall, he only had these two peak spirit artifacts. It took great resolve to bring them out.
He was ntally cursing himself. Why go and bet with Ye Haochuan only to lose the shirt off his back?
But Ye Haochuan wasn’t in a hurry to take them. He looked at Chen Kelin with interest and said, “Hall Master Chen, it seems your mory is a bit faulty. Clearly, it was ten top-grade spirit artifacts. Why are you giving only two now?”
Chen Kelin’s expression stiffened, and he said solemnly, “Ye Haochuan, don’t be too excessive. The bet was for two, and the ten was just you speaking offhandedly. When did I agree to that?”
Goddammit, think I’m an idiot? Ten top-grade spirit artifacts wouldn’t even be enough if I gathered all of the Secular World Hall’s top-grade ones. If I really gave them to you, how could I still be Hall Master?
Chen Kelin had made up his mind to evade the issue since he only tacitly agreed back then without verbal confirmation.
“Hall Master Chen, you’re blatantly trying to cheat!” Ye Haochuan said smugly.
Chen Kelin snorted coldly, putting on an unfazed deanor.
His deanor, however, angered a brawny woman beside him.
The brawny woman snorted heavily, grabbing his collar and said, “You bastard, if you promised my Alliance Master Ye a number, that’s what it must be. If you dare not give it, I’ll make you regret it!”
Chen Kelin’s face turned extrely unpleasant as he tried to push the brawny woman away, only to find her hands as unyielding as iron clamps, immovable.
“Get off, you ugly woman. Disrespect again, and you won’t know how you died!” Chen Kelin roared in sha and anger.
He was the Hall Master of Proud World’s Secular World Hall, the face of Proud World in the secular realm, and being treated like a chicken was more painful than death.
“Threatening ? I’m going to show you what it’s like to live a life worse than death!”
The brawny woman snorted loudly, then swung a punch.
Chen Kelin quickly summoned a spirit qi shield, but heard a “crack” as it shattered like a thin layer of glass.
Slap~
Chen Kelin was punched in the face, turning instantly into a pig’s head.
“This…” Ye Haochuan was a bit dumbfounded, once again stunned by the brawny woman’s strength.
The others from Proud World wanted to help, but unfortunately, their strongest, Senior Brother Jin, had been knocked out by Ye Haochuan, and the others weren’t as strong as Chen Kelin. As soon as they rushed over, they were knocked back by a few punches from the brawny woman.
Slap~ Slap~ Slap~
The surroundings fell into silence, only the sound of slaps echoing.
This ti, Chen Kelin stubbornly refused to admit to the wager of ten top-grade spirit artifacts, no matter how the brawny woman threatened.
Seeing Chen Kelin beaten nearly to a concussion, the brawny woman stopped, looking sowhat resignedly at Ye Haochuan and said, “Alliance Master Ye, this guy’s bones are hard. Shall I take him, and I’ll definitely make him cough up what he owes!”
“Lady Heroine, please.” Ye Haochuan felt like laughing. Chen Kelin probably never imagined he’d be treated like this in his life, right?
In fact, he never seriously thought of getting ten top-grade spirit artifacts from Chen Kelin, just wanted to teach him a lesson. Now that the brawny woman had volunteered, he didn’t have to lift a finger himself.
Zhong Dingshan sympathetically stepped forward and said, “Alliance Master Ye, the Hall Master truly can’t cough up that many top-grade spirit artifacts, please show so rcy and let him go.”
From the address, it was clear he wasn’t fully integrated into the Long Alliance. Ye Haochuan was slightly displeased, but still said to the brawny woman, “Lady Heroine, please spare Hall Master Chen’s life, otherwise there might be so trouble!”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits!” The brawny woman grinned, dragging Chen Kelin into a room.
Poor Chen Kelin, his head still dizzy, likely unable to imagine the next few hours would be the most excruciating of his life.
Zhong Dingshan, though still worried, said nothing. Ensuring no life-threatening risk was currently all he could do for Chen Kelin.
Ye Haochuan waved his hand, causing the longsword and seal to both fall into his hands. Though the longsword was nice, it couldn’t compare to the Divine Concealnt Sword. The great seal was what truly pleased him.
The seal bore the four characters “Soul-Calming and Body-Stabilizing” in archaic script, looking quite domineering. Imbuing his Spirit of Blood into it, the great seal quickly responded to his will.
“Soul Absorption Seal, with the power to secure a human soul…”
Damn, a magical treasure for dealing with souls?
Ye Haochuan was imdiately overjoyed, as it was his first ti owning such a special magical treasure.
This treasure could deter souls, surely proving highly effective against the Xuanming Sect, which specialized in soul cultivation.
Putting away the Soul Absorption Seal, Ye Haochuan felt utterly satisfied. Tonight’s auction was definitely worth it; not only gaining so strong subordinates but also acquiring rare treasures.
Such good fortune, he hoped it would be a daily occurrence.
Though it was late, Ye Haochuan couldn’t wait to call Huo ngyao, asking her to send so people to take over the auction.
This auction was Long Alliance’s first venture, holding significant aning and requiring careful managent.
After discussing with Huo ngyao, they decided to let Shang Fu manage the place, with Zhong Dingshan and Huang Yi overseeing.
After hours of work, the auction continued. This ti Shang Fu replaced Yi Jiao on stage.
Ye Haochuan was sowhat disappointed that none of the items up for auction caught his interest.
The auction continued until dawn, the crowd leaving reluctantly.
Just as Ye Haochuan was about to leave, he saw the brawny woman erge from the room.
Since she dragged Chen Kelin into the room, eerie screams had filled it throughout the night.
The brawny woman hadn’t slept all night, yet looked not the least bit fatigued, appearing instead to be full of vitality.
Ye Haochuan knew perfectly well what had transpired in that room. He was now very curious about Chen Kelin’s condition after the night.
