As soon as the voice was heard, the venue fell silent again.
The heads of small families and loose cultivators in the Heavenly Court scattered seats turned towards the direction from which the voice ca.
"It's that person again!"
"Who is this guy? Does he have a death wish?"
"Isn't that right, the internal strife among the ten great families is already making everyone tense. Didn't you see that those from the Three Sects and Six Gates are all staying silent, not getting involved."
"Now it's not just about the two Dan Formulas, but a struggle between the two families. Anyone who gets involved could easily beco a target of both families' hostility."
The people nearby nodded in agreent. There were no fools present; if they couldn't even understand this much, their families wouldn't have survived till today.
"Box C, quite a remote position, and in the Golden Jade Pavilion, only so sowhat powerful families and so strong loose cultivators could sit here."
"If this were an ordinary auction, such power might indeed be enough to show off, but what kind of occasion is this? The Three Sects and Six Gates, and the ten great families are all gathered, we're just lucky if we can pick up scraps."
"Who would dare to compete with the Three Sects and Six Gates and the ten great families? You must have a death wish."
One person shook his head, analyzing the situation.
"The other party offered a bid of a hundred billion Federation Coins, which is over seventy billion in Fla Country Currency, directly overshadowing the Lin and Xiao families."
"Which small family, or even a loose cultivator, has such power?"
Soone beside him imdiately rebutted, this isn't a million, but a hundred billion, and it's still Federation Coins.
Though Federation Coins aren't as valuable as before, they're still a mainstream currency.
"Yeah, soone sitting in Box C shouldn't have such power, yet they seem to be showing off their wealth, throwing out a hundred billion Federation Coins like it's nothing."
"Could it be soone from the Golden Jade Pavilion?"
Soone suggested a possibility, but was imdiately scolded by the person next to him.
"What are you thinking? The people of the Golden Jade Pavilion indeed have a bad reputation, known for digging up ancestral graves to profit from them, despised by the Three Sects and Six Gates."
"But, the Golden Jade Pavilion's credibility is still assured, as it's their foundation. Even if they employ a ringer at smaller venues, here, with such an occasion, the last thing the Golden Jade Pavilion wants is an incident."
"Let alone finding a ringer to provoke the Lin and Xiao families. The Ancient Tomb Sect behind the Golden Jade Pavilion wouldn't be this bold."
Hm.
People nearby nodded, agreeing with this statent. The Ancient Tomb Sect behind the Golden Jade is like street vermin, shouted down by everyone, all its branches experts in tomb raiding, but in the eyes of the Orthodox, they're just bottom of the Nine Streams.
Therefore, among the Three Sects and Six Gates, the Ancient Tomb lineage remains at the bottom, and although the Ancient Tomb lineage is wealthy, it's not well-regarded in the Ancient Martial World.
However, in recent years, due to certain reasons, it gained so popularity in secular society and has even been sought after by many.
At this mont, the involved parties, the Lin and Xiao families, were also at a loss.
They were locked in a fierce competition for the top among the ten great families, even borrowing money from the Golden Jade Pavilion to vie for superiority, only for an unexpected challenger to erge.
It's said not to hit soone's face, yet this face slap ca so unexpectedly.
Not only the Lin and Xiao families, but also individuals from several families of the Three Sects and Six Gates were clueless, all simultaneously looking towards Box C.
However, for privacy, these boxes were custom-made, and even mind perception would be interfered with.
"Interesting."
Initially, it was a fight between two tigers, bound to hurt one. The internal fight of the two most powerful families among the ten great families was a delightful sight for many.
Now that soone inserted themselves into the fray, it caused so discomfort.
"A hundred and ten billion... Federation Coins."
After a brief silence, the first to respond was Xiao Rang, who did not stop even with soone interrupting, but instead raised the stakes fiercely.
After all, ten billion Federation Coins is over seventy million, the increase was substantial.
"A hundred and twenty billion."
Lin Dong, slightly frustrated, glanced coldly at Box C, following up imdiately. Gods may fight, why do you, a small fry, ddle?
The two didn't regard the person from Box C, who intervened, as worthy, for they did not qualify.
The two families once again made strong bids, and the unit of bidding switched directly to Federation Coins. The numbers got smaller, but the amount of money placed continued increasing.
The bid had already broken the eight hundred mark.
Many gasped. Eight hundred billion, such a deep pocket! Is this the foundation of the leaders among the ten great families?
The battle between the two families was not only for the first place, but also to display power.
The effect was quite clear, as the few families following the ten great families were quietly calculating their strength compared to these two.
After comparison, they hid the ambitions they brought with them, opting to remain under the radar for safety.
As for whether the Lin or Xiao family took the first place, it didn't affect them greatly.
Amid the astonishing exclamations at the venue, the one in Box C, who erged midway, announced a new bid.
"One hundred fifty billion Federation Coins."
Instantly, in many people's minds, it felt as if alpacas were galloping. They thought this guy was just a troublemaker, displaying presence just to imdiately disappear.
Who'd have thought, after the two families bid again, this bastard actually dared to continue bidding.
Once might be an accident, but twice is definitely not. This guy was directly challenging the two families.
However, no one felt shocked; instead, they wondered if this guy had been kicked by a donkey or hit by a door. Otherwise, why would anyone in their right mind repeatedly provoke two families?
But just when everyone thought this was the end, Box C sent out a ssage again.
"I suppose the money both of your families have on hand has about reached its limit. Having not continued for so long earlier, you must have been adding to your deposits."
Li Feng changed his voice, sharp yet robust, like a hawk eyeing two prey.
"If I haven't miscalculated, the limit for both of your families should be around eight hundred to a thousand billion."
"Of course, you two can continue to compete."
"However, I can't guarantee I won't bid two hundred billion Federation Coins next ti."
Li Feng's words instantly stunned the audience.
Was this guy threatening the Lin and Xiao families?
Soone dared to brazenly, before everyone's eyes, threaten the two families and even dared to steal from the tiger's mouth.
Where did this guy co from?
In Box A, after several seconds of silence, Xiao Rang said, "From the sound of it, young friend seems quite young, but I don't know which sect, which gate, or which family cultivated such an outstanding elite."
Xiao Rang's words were clearly a trap.
As long as soone from Box C answered any one of those, they could be traced back.
"Heh, Family Head Xiao needn't probe ; this is an auction. I bid the highest, so if no one bids further, then the incomplete Thousand dicine Formula is mine."
"Of course, if the two elders wish to play on, I don't mind."
"But the two elders should weigh their own strength, lest you bite off more than you can chew, that wouldn't be good."
