Chapter 1039 Father’s Sword?

Lan Xiaoxiao stuffed her mouth full. "Just ask Xiaoliu to deliver the elixir. There shouldn't be anyone at the Ancient God Auction House who doesn't recognize you and the monsters around you."

"That's right," Luo Li summoned Xiao Liu and handed him the space ring and token. "Go."

Xiaoliu chuckled, "I guarantee it will be delivered smoothly!"

The second to last day of the Immortals’ Gathering—the day of the auction.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Ancient God Auction House. When Luo Li, Ye Yichen and others arrived, they saw Xuan Mu standing at the door waving at them.

Wen Xingyan was leaning to the side, playing with his jade ring. Seeing Luo Li, he smiled and said, "This way."

Walking forward, I saw Xuan Mu was wearing a moon-white robe with light golden cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels, which shimmered in the sunlight.

He smiled and said, "We're just here to have fun anyway, how about we just share a private room?"

"Sure," Luo Li walked in. The auctioneer quickly noticed her. "Ling... Young Master Luo, you're here. The private room is ready. I'll have someone take you there."

"good."

Following the auction house's receptionist, Luo Li and the others soon arrived at the private room on the third floor.

The waiter said apologetically, "Young Master Luo, Box No. 1 is a bit small, so we have to inconvenience you and your friends here. But don't worry, no one will enter Box No. 1."

"It's okay," Luo Li smiled, "It's fine here. We're here, so just go and get busy."

"Okay," the waiter nodded and turned to leave.

Luo Li and the others also walked into the box.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked around and exclaimed, "This box is the largest I've ever seen."

Ye Yichen found a soft couch and sat down. "It's because there are so many of us. Even an ordinary private room would seem crowded."

Luo Li walked to the window, gently pulled open the curtains, and overlooked the entire auction hall through the one-way crystal window.

There was a crowd of people below, and representatives from various major forces came in one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

As they were talking, the auction table suddenly lit up with seven-colored light.

An old man in a dark blue robe slowly appeared on the stage. The nine-star pattern embroidered with gold thread on his cuffs indicated his identity as the chief appraiser of the Ancient God Auction House.

"It's about to begin." Lan Xiaoxiao excitedly moved closer to Luo Li, grabbed the spiritual fruit on the table and took a bite.

The old man tapped the jade hammer lightly, and his deep voice echoed throughout the audience: "Thank you all for coming. Today's first lot is——"

He lifted the red silk and said, "Three Nine Revolution Pills, made by the current master of Qingfeng Valley."

The crystal chandelier in the auction table suddenly dimmed, and the focusing array on the auction table made the Nine Revolutions Pill shine brightly.

Luo Li noticed that the curtain of a private room on the second floor was shaking slightly, revealing half of a face wearing a red mask.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering why someone from the Ninth Heaven had come.

On the auction stage, the voice continued: "Starting price, 10 million Crystal Soul Coins!"

Before he finished speaking, someone in the audience raised a sign, "Eleven million Crystal Soul Coins!"

Luo Li and the others felt a little bored, so they just sat back in their seats and started chatting.

"There's nothing fun about this auction." Ye Yichen lazily lay back on the couch.

Lan Xiaoxiao held her chin in her hand. "It's just an auction. What kind of fun can it be?"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the box door.

"Come in." Luo Li raised her eyes and said.

A waiter in an auction house uniform walked in respectfully, holding an exquisite jade box in his hands. "Young Master Luo, this is something a guest just asked me to give to you."

Luo Li took the jade box and felt a familiar fluctuation of soul power when her fingertips touched the lid.

She raised her brows slightly and gently opened the box——

A crystal-white jade pendant lay quietly on the velvet lining. It was carved with intricate cloud patterns, and a blood-red demon beast's inner core was embedded in the center.

"This is..." Lan Xiaoxiao came over and scratched her head, "Who gave it to you?"

Luo Li stroked the jade pendant with her fingertips, feeling the powerful soul power contained in it.

She raised her eyes to look at the waiter: "Did the person who delivered the gift leave any message?"

The waiter said respectfully, "The guest only said that the immortals will see each other again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the center of the auction hall.

On the auction table, an old man was uncovering a huge crystal cover. Inside was a pitch-black sword suspended, with strange blood-colored patterns wrapped around the sword.

"This next item is a bit special," the old man said solemnly. "I'm sure everyone is familiar with it. It's a Grand Lord Weapon. Starting price—50 million Crystal Soul Coins!"

The entire auction hall was instantly boiling.

"Isn't this the fierce sword that has long been famous in the continent? It was tamed by the Ancient God Auction House and taken out twice, but no one could tame it either time."

Luo Li suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on the sword—the inconspicuous notch on the hilt was so similar to the sword in the portrait of her father she had seen on the Tianyuan Continent...

"How could it be..." she murmured.

Xuan Mu noticed her abnormality: "Ali?"

"This sword," Luo Li frowned and said, "It seems to be the sword my father used to wear."

There was a sudden silence in the box.

Lan Xiaoxiao gasped: "How could Uncle Luo's sword appear here..."

At this moment, the figure wearing a red mask on the second floor suddenly stood up, and a hoarse voice spread throughout the room: "One hundred million Crystal Soul Coins."

The whole audience was in an uproar.

This bidding method, which has increased several times, clearly shows that the bidder is determined to win.

Luo Li's eyes flashed coldly, and she raised her hand and pressed the transmission button in the box: "Two hundred million."

The auction house was boiling again.

The red-masked man turned his head and looked in the direction of the box on the third floor. Although there was a one-way crystal window between them, Luo Li could feel his sharp gaze.

"Three hundred million." The masked man raised the price without hesitation.

Wen Xingyan frowned: "Why is this person..."

Ye Yichen had already grasped the sword at his waist: "Do you want to check his background?"

"No need," Luo Li suddenly revealed a cold smile and pressed the auction button again: "Five hundred million crystal soul coins."

The aura around the red-masked man suddenly turned cold, and you could hear a pin drop in the auction hall.

"One billion crystal soul coins!"

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Luo Li said calmly: "Two billion crystal soul coins."

She placed her fingertips on her chin and stared at the blood-red pattern. The dark pattern on the scabbard in her father's portrait was exactly the same as that on this sword.

"Twenty billion at a time—" When the old man's jade hammer was about to fall, a sound of breaking suddenly came from the second floor.

Everyone was shocked to see the masked man shatter the railings and rush towards the auction table. His blood-colored soul power surged and he actually grabbed the long sword on the auction table.

"How dare you!" The guards of the Ancient God Auction House flashed, and Luo Li turned into a stream of light and rushed to the side of the stage first.

She condensed soul power chains from her fingertips and wrapped them around the hilt. The masked man's sharp claws brushed past her ear, and a sinister laugh echoed in the fishy wind: "Luo Li, you do have some tricks up your sleeve."
