Chapter 501: End Of The Auction
The Crown Prince was provoked. He looked at Ye Xiao"s room and said, "Good... You are good."
Saying that, he once again closed the window of his room and didn"t raise the bid again.
"60 Million Blood Stones, going once!"
"60 Million Blood Stones, going twice!"
"60 Million Blood Stones, going thrice!"
After three bids, the auctioneer shouted, "Congratulations to the distinguished guests in room number 11 on the third floor for winning the treasure, an ancient blade!"
The auctioneer sent the blade to Ye Xiao"s room. An attendant brought it and quickly said, "This blade is very strange. There seems to be some sort of special restriction on it. Only brute force can move it. Using demonic energy can"t move it at all."
Ye Xiao nodded his head, extended his hand out towards the ancient blade on the stage.
"Weng!"
Suddenly, the ancient blade seemed to be pulled by something and it trembled. Then, from the surface of the broken blade, the killing intent was suddenly attracted and rushed towards Ye Xiao.
"Swish!" The ancient blade directly landed in Ye Xiao"s hand.
"Impossible!" The attendant was the first to shout out.
Many demons of Auction House had tried but none of them were able to use their powers to control the blade. This was also the reason why the Auction House took this ancient blade out to auction.
Ye Xiao held the broken blade in his hand and suddenly a familiar feeling surfaced in his heart. A smile appeared on his face.
Ye Xiao actually used the draconic energy to suppress the ancient blade.
.....
The auctioneer on the stage once again brought another treasure out and said, "This is a very interesting treasure. Actually, we also don"t know what exactly this is."
Saying this, he showed the treasure to everyone. It was actually a round token. There was a letter "D" written on one side of this token. And the other side was carved with a lifelike dragon and phoenix, hugging each other.
The auctioneer once again said, "Around a hundred years ago, this token fell down from the sky. No one knows where this item came from but this thing is invulnerable to swords and other sharp weapons as well as fire and destructive lightning."
"We tried using many things to see if this token will react or not, unfortunately, we got no result. But we are sure about one thing, this token is no ordinary token."
"We will not set any price for this token, raise the bid yourselves."
Everyone was confused when they heard him but they also became curious about this round token.
Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense and looked closely. At first, he looked at the "D" letter. This letter "D" gave him an incomprehensible feeling. Taking a deep breath, he once shifted his attention to the lifelike carving of dragon and phoenix hugging each other. As Ye Xiao was carefully observing them, the eyes of the dragon and phoenix lit up and an imprint appeared on his soul. This imprint was the same as the dragon and phoenix on the token.
Ye Xiao was shocked. He was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. He didn"t know what this token was but now, he had to get this token no matter what. After all, it was now related to the imprint on his soul. After getting his hand on the token, he"ll slowly figure out what this token is.
"Ten Million Blood Stones!"
With Ye Xiao"s bid, the bidding process of the token was officially started.
In next to no time, the price of the token was raised to 50 Million Blood Stones.
It was at this time when the Crown Prince once again bided for the token, "100 Million Blood Stones!"
"110 Million Blood Stones."
Ye Xiao immediately followed the Crown Prince and raised the bid.
The Crown Prince frowned and again shouted, "130 Million Blood Stones!"
Ye Xiao didn"t back off, he followed suit and shouted, "140 Million Blood Stones!"
Anger flashed in the Crown Prince"s eyes.
When Ye Xiao won the bid for the ancient blade, the crown prince sent a person to look for Ye Xiao"s ident.i.ty. He soon found out that Ye Xiao has just become a Demon General after giving the Heart to his father. He has also gotten a chance to enter the Blood Pool that"ll open in two days.
He didn"t expect that Ye Xiao will try to provoke him just because he won the favour of his father. Killing intent flashed in the Crown Prince"s eyes as he said, "You can take this token for now. I"ll collect it from your corpse later!"
The threat in the Crown Prince"s sentence could not be more clear.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the threat of the Crown Prince. They sighed and shook their heads. All of them felt pity for Ye Xiao who was now targeted by the Crown Prince.
Ye Xiao didn"t think too much. He smiled and replied, "Then I"ll wait for the Crown Prince to make an appearance in front of me first. I will definitely welcome you with both of my hands."
The hidden meaning inside Ye Xiao"s words shocked everyone once again.
This person in room number 11 is really too daring. He actually dared to say such things to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince only snorted coldly but didn"t say anything.
At this time, the auctioneer brought the final item of the auction. It was the Life Force that Ye Xiao had given the manager previously to auction.
After the auctioneer introduced the Life Force, it immediately attracted the attention of thousands of demons.
These people were demons and demonic cultivators. Some of them also cultivated a cultivation technique that could suck away others" lifeforce to replenish theirs.
For demons, Life Force was not an unfamiliar thing. Its value far surpa.s.sed any item that the Auction House has shown till now.
The starting price of the Life Force was 50 Million Blood Stones.
Maybe, the Crown Prince feared that Ye Xiao will once again try to compete with him for the bottle of Life Force, he immediately called out the price of 300 Million Blood Stones.
No one dared to fight for the Life Force again since the Crown Prince bided for it.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiao"s room, wanting to see if he"ll again compete with the Crown Prince or not. They wanted to watch the show and entertain themselves. There were not many demons who dared to compete with the Crown Prince for some treasure after all.
To everyone"s disappointment, Ye Xiao gave no reaction. He kept silent.
How could they know that the Life Force was actually Ye Xiao"s item to begin with? Why would he fight for his own item?
The Crown Prince and others thought that maybe, Ye Xiao was not left with enough Blood Stones after buying the two treasures, so he didn"t bid for the Life Force.
The Crown Prince actually took a breath of relief secretly but on the surface, he snorted coldly.
The Life Force belonged to the Crown Prince lastly.
The auction ended here.
Everyone started to walk out of the Auction House.
After deducting 200 Million Blood Stones for the ancient blade and the token, Ye Xiao was left with only 100 Million Blood Stones. The auction house didn"t take a single Blood Stone for auctioning the Life Force.
.....
After coming out from the auction house, Ye Xiao left. He had only walked for a few hundred meters of distance when a few pieces of brick and tile fell from the walls at the side.
The surrounding area was bustling with noise and traffic. With such a small change, it did not attract anyone"s attention.
However, Ye Xiao"s brows suddenly frowned. He didn"t expect that there would be someone spying on him like that. Furthermore, Ye Xiao could actually feel a faint killing intent coming from different places around him.
"You want to kill me?" Ye Xiao moved his body and suddenly disappeared from the street.
At the same time, several figures flew out from numerous corners and headed in the direction where Ye Xiao was standing just now.
"Where is he!"
"Not good, that person is gone!"
"Chase!"
In the open s.p.a.ce, a few fierce Demonic Cultivators directly appeared.
The bodies of these Demonic cultivators were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent, it was obvious that each of them was contaminated with a lot of life.
"Are you looking for me?" Ye Xiao"s cold voice suddenly came from behind a Demonic Cultivator.
"This is bad!" The Demonic Cultivator was shocked and immediately turned around.
However, before his head could turn around, Ye Xiao had already stepped on his body.
"Ka-cha!"
That Demonic Cultivator"s leg bones immediately cracked and he knelt down powerlessly on the ground. Even before he could let out a scream, Ye Xiao had already pressed his neck down.
"Ka! Ka! Ka!"
Following the sound of bones breaking, that demonic cultivator"s neck bent as he died.
