"How can a woman so beautiful exist in this world? Who is she?" Even the renowned beauties of the Rakshasa Race felt inadequate when they saw the human woman in white.
The blood-robed elder hosting on the high platform chuckled. "This woman was brought back from the border Great Wall by Elder Blood Wither of the Great Netherworld. She is said to be the chosen successor of the Linglong Celestial Sect, no ordinary woman."
"Not only is her beauty astonishing, but her physique is also of considerable value—she possesses the rare Taiyin Saint Body. If that Elder weren’t in dire need of money, he certainly would not have put her up in the auction house."
"She has attracted quite a few custors recently. However, she has never once smiled, nor has she even spoken a single word."
Soone from below called out, "Could it be that she’s been scared witless, her Daoxin shattered? If that’s the case, then she isn’t worth as much."
"Who knows? With her beauty, status, and the fact that she is a virgin, she is bound to sell for a handso price. If any interested custors wish to bid, feel free to do so."
The blood-robed elder raised his hand, gesturing.
Lu Mingyuan’s gaze was fixed on Yun Qinghe. Seeing the many bloody whip marks on her body, his heart grew heavy.
Then, his voice turned chilling as he narrowed his eyes and said, "How could you do this to her?"
An ugly Rakshasa man to the side, thinking Lu Mingyuan had also taken a fancy to the woman, chuckled. "For the Great Nether Auction House, everything has a price, whether it’s a person, an object, or any other resource. The auction house’s role is simply to maximize her value."
"You seem very interested in her, my lord?"
"None of your damn business!"
Lu Mingyuan’s eyes were incomparably cold. The icy aura he emitted made the Rakshasa man tremble all over.
’So strong!’
He inadvertently glanced at the black "Patrol" token at Lu Mingyuan’s waist.
’He must be at least in the Tenth Realm. Don’t tell I’ve offended a Night Patrol Envoy just by saying a few words?’
Only those with outstanding aptitude in the Divine Institute could be appointed as Night Patrol Envoys to serve the Court.
They were permitted to walk in the night.
Lu Mingyuan spoke no more. Instead, he transford into a streak of light, crossing the tens of yards through the air to land on the high platform at the very front, where he looked toward the woman in white.
She was indeed as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, but her eyes were completely hollow, without a trace of spirit. It was as if she had lost her Daoxin and grown completely numb.
It was normal for others not to recognize her.
But he knew her all too well.
They had been husband and wife for decades in his first life. Having spent their days and nights together, her face was etched into his mind, no matter how she aged.
Lu Mingyuan had seen her true face, so he knew she was the Yun Qinghe of his second life.
"How did you end up here? What on earth have you been through?" Lu Mingyuan asked via voice transmission.
Yun Qinghe remained seated, rely lifting her elegant eyes slightly to glance at the strange man before her.
Her gaze was still utterly hollow.
’Could it be that she injured her Divine Soul and lost her mory when she fought against a Great Netherworld expert?’
Lu Mingyuan tried to step closer but was blocked by the blood-robed elder.
He smiled and advised, "My lord, only the highest bidder can have this woman, and only then can you approach her."
Behind the curtain on the high platform stood more than ten Bone Guards exuding powerful auras, like Combat Puppets refined by a Nether Master.
"The starting price is one hundred thousand Great Nether Saint Coins. Each bid incrent must be no less than ten thousand."
This statent sparked a wave of discussion from the crowd below, with incessant arguing.
"No matter how beautiful she is, she’s only in the Golden Core Realm. And they’re asking for one hundred thousand Great Nether Saint Coins?!"
"For one hundred thousand Great Nether Saint Coins, I could buy a hundred slaves like her at other auction houses! Even at the Golden Core Realm, I could buy ten!"
"But she is a rare female slave of the Human Race, and with a noble status at that. You don’t see that every day."
Lu Mingyuan shot them a cold glance, raised his hand high, and called out a price.
"One million Great Nether Saint Coins."
The mont the price was announced, the entire audience was stunned, erupting in an uproar.
’One million Great Nether Saint Coins?’
’Ten tis the starting price, just like that?’
’Who is this person, to be so rich?’
It was only then that many people noticed Lu Mingyuan’s identity. The token at his waist made it crystal clear.
Great Nether Night Patrol Envoy.
"He’s that new Night Patrol Envoy from the Divine Institute who rose up in recent years?"
The two Nether Race cultivators were both taken aback, their expressions turning wary.
Every newly appointed Night Patrol Envoy was extrely distinguished.
The na Wu Jiuyuan had so renown among the Ten Underworld Races.
It was said that during the battle for the position, his power surpassed that of the previous and all past Night Patrol Envoys, allowing him to seize the title in one fell swoop.
There were even rumors that Wu Jiuyuan was the Witch Clan Young Master, possessing a remarkable status and monstrous talent. It was said that while in the sa realm, he killed the eldest son of the Blood Race’s Burning Character Tribe, earning him the title of the Divine Institute’s greatest prodigy in a thousand years.
No one had ever seen him in action.
Because anyone who had was already dead.
Even if those rumors were highly improbable, the fact that Wu Jiuyuan could beco a Night Patrol Envoy proved he was not soone to be trifled with.
The Nether Race cultivator with a scar on his face said viciously, "So what if he’s a Night Patrol Envoy? If he dares to touch the woman our Crown Prince has his eyes on, we’ll make sure he regrets it."
The leader of the group, a handso man with white hair and blood-red eyes, shot him a cold look and said, "Go and investigate this Night Patrol Envoy’s background. I want a clear picture of where he cos from."
He was Xue Fenghuang, the Blood King’s Heir, son of one of the Ten Kings of the Underworld.
Today, he had co specifically for this woman.
The Taiyin Saint Body.
It would be of imnse benefit to his cultivation of the Taiyin Divine Prayer Technique.
