Hiss!!
As soon as Lu Tao said this, the entire auction hall gasped in surprise.
They realized that Number 99 was also a troublemaker.
The human race had been very cautious and treading on thin ice regarding the feud between the three races recently, but this person not only showed no fear of the Golden Flame Eagle, but also seemed to be adding fuel to the fire.
seem……
I'm not worried at all about making this a big deal out of it.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Tao uttered those four words, the Golden Flame Eagle flew into a rage: "You lowly insect, if you have the guts, tell me your name and origin!"
Lu Tao said indifferently, "Does a mere feathered beast deserve to know my name?"
boom--
Lu Tao's words were like a pebble dropped into a lake, creating ripples all around.
This not only enraged the Golden Flame Eagle Clan's experts, but also made the other powerful members of the demon and monster clans in the hall unable to control their killing intent.
The phrase "flat-haired beast" was extremely damaging to both the demon and monster races.
Under normal circumstances, they might have just tolerated it, but at this moment, they seemed to share a common hatred for the enemy.
"Damn it! Human insects, how dare you insult my demon race! You deserve to die!"
"Roar! Kill! Kill him!"
"Agh! I'm going to devour him alive!"
...
The crowd in the auction hall was filled with rage and murderous intent.
Tens of thousands of powerful demons all looked toward room 99. Some even had fiery tempers and rushed straight toward room 99, wanting to kill Lu Tao.
Boom!
Unfortunately, protected by a powerful array, their mere cultivation levels of God-King and low-level God-Emperor were simply insufficient to break through the array.
"Red Sun Society, unleash the great formation! Do you truly intend to assist the human race in targeting our demon and monster races?"
"Release the great formation! No one can save him today; he must die!"
"Red Sun Society, do not make a mistake for yourselves! We know this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Quickly, activate the great formation!"
...
Tens of thousands of powerful figures all glared fiercely at the Red Sun Society auctioneer, as if they would rush up and devour him if he uttered a single word of "no".
"Release the formation!"
Upon seeing this, the Golden Flame Eagle rushed out of the room and stood in the middle of the circular pavilion, coldly looking at Lu Tao's room.
"presumptuous!"
Suddenly, the auctioneer's face darkened.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Crimson Sun Society's formation suddenly activated, and a vast aura permeated the entire auction hall, affecting the troublemaking demons.
Clap clap clap!
In an instant, tens of thousands of powerful figures fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Even the Golden Flame Eagle couldn't help but fall to the ground, unable to stand in mid-air anymore, looking quite pathetic.
The auctioneer's cold gaze swept over the group of demons, and he said in a cold voice, "If you dare to cause trouble in my Crimson Sun Society again, I don't care what your identity or background is, I will kill you!"
The moment the word "kill" was uttered, the demons fell silent in fear.
They, who had been so aggressive earlier, dared not utter another word.
The auctioneer's cold gaze swept over the Golden Flame Eagle, making it stiffen and fall silent.
"snort!"
The old man auctioning off snorted coldly, then softened his tone slightly and said, "Alright, the auction continues. If anyone doesn't want to continue, they can leave now!"
"snort!"
"What kind of bullshit auction is this? I'm not participating!"
"Favoritism towards humans? Bah!"
...
Amidst a chorus of curses and swears, a large group of demons angrily departed.
But the Golden Flame Eagle stayed behind, its cold gaze sweeping over room 99 before returning to its own room, number 7.
"The auction continues!"
The auctioneer paid no attention to the departing demons. He continued the auction, smiling as he looked at room 99 and said, "Zhi Chi Sha, this fellow Daoist has bid thirteen mid-grade divine veins. Are there any other fellow Daoists who would offer a higher price?"
As he spoke, the auctioneer looked at the Golden Flame Sculpture in Room 7 with a gentle smile, as if nothing had happened.
"Fourteen mid-grade divine veins!"
Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the Golden Flame Eagle called out another bid.
but.
The assembled experts were unsure whether the Golden Flame Eagle intended to continue bidding for the Sand Barrier or was deliberately raising the price to force the owner of number 99 to pay more.
Lu Tao didn't seem to care, his voice remaining as calm as before: "Fourteen mid-grade divine veins, plus one million high-grade divine stones!"
"Fifteen mid-grade divine veins!"
"Fifteen mid-grade divine veins, plus one million high-grade divine stones!"
"Sixteen mid-grade divine veins!"
"Sixteen mid-grade divine veins, plus one million high-grade divine stones!"
...
The two went back and forth, and no matter how much the Golden Flame Eagle bid, Lu Tao would only add one million high-grade divine stones each time.
"Seventeen mid-grade divine veins!"
In the blink of an eye, the price reached seventeen mid-grade divine veins.
Just when everyone thought Lu Tao would continue to raise the price, room 99 unexpectedly remained silent and did not raise the price further.
"Huh? Why aren't you adding any more?"
"Tch, I thought humans were some kind of superpower, but it turns out they're nothing special?"
"Hahaha, weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Keep raising the price, why are you so quiet now?"
...
In the auction hall, a group of demons couldn't help but laugh, seemingly quite pleased with themselves.
Even many human cultivators couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly.
Unbeknownst to them, in room number 7, the Golden Flame Eagle's face was grim, and its eyes were practically spitting fire.
While the Sand of the Inch-Bounds is indeed precious, its price is far from reaching the level of seventeen mid-grade divine veins; twelve is actually the maximum.
The result is now.
Just because of a fight of pride, it actually had to give up five extra mid-grade divine veins, which is a huge loss.
Its original intention was to make auctioneer No. 99 pay a higher price for the sand, but it never expected that it would be outmaneuvered by the other party.
"Damn it, those damned human insects!"
Enraged, the Golden Flame Eagle smashed the table in front of it with a palm strike, and said hatefully, "My Golden Flame Eagle clan must kill him! Yes, we must kill him! Since he dared to bid, he must have at least thirteen mid-grade divine veins. As long as I kill him, I will not only not lose, but I will also make a fortune!"
At this moment, Jin Yandiao's heart was filled with murderous intent, and he wished he could rush into room 99 and kill Lu Tao immediately.
Thinking this way.
The Golden Flame Eagle immediately took out its communication artifact and sent a message to its clan.
At that moment, after the auctioneer called out three times without receiving a response, he concluded that the Sands of the Heart had been won by the Golden Flame Eagle.
Knock knock!
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
After receiving a response from the Golden Flame Eagle, Yin Hongzhuang entered with a pile of somewhat illusory, clean white sand.
The reason it feels somewhat surreal is mainly because the fine sand looks unreal; it's right in front of you, yet it seems so far away.
Some of them look like mirages.
If it weren't for the power enveloping it, it would seem as if it would disappear from sight in the next moment.
Yin Hongzhuang looked at the Golden Flame Eagle with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the Sand of the Instantaneous Foot. Please verify whether there is any error."
"..."
The Golden Flame Eagle accepted the Sand with a sullen face, wanting to find fault with it and say it was fake, but it knew that no matter how much it argued, it would eventually have to pay for the divine vein, so it didn't say anything more.
"Give these items an estimate and see if they're worth seventeen mid-grade divine veins!"
The Golden Flame Eagle handed over a spatial treasure containing a large number of items, including twelve mid-grade divine veins, and the rest were divine medicines and refining materials.
Yin Hongzhuang took the spatial treasure and carefully estimated its value. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist, we still need to replenish three million high-grade divine stones."
"..."
The Golden Flame Eagle's lips twitched slightly.
Actually, if these things were auctioned, the price would definitely be much higher, worth more than seventeen mid-grade divine veins. But now, it's even worse, and they still need to replenish the divine stones.
The more Jin Yandiao thought about it, the angrier he became, but he had no choice but to obediently hand over another three million high-grade divine stones to Yin Hongzhuang.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Yin Hongzhuang took the items, but she didn't leave. Instead, she spoke again: "Fellow Daoist, you broke one of our Crimson Sun Society's tables, valued at one million low-grade divine stones. Will you compensate us now, or after the auction?"
"..."
With a whoosh, upon hearing these words, a dense flame suddenly rose from the Golden Flame Eagle's body, as if it could no longer suppress its anger.
But Yin Hongzhuang remained unmoved, simply looking at it gently.
Creak!
The Golden Flame Eagle clenched its teeth so tightly that it almost crushed them.
But in the end, it gritted its teeth and paid a compensation of one million low-grade divine stones.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Yin Hongzhuang accepted the divine stone with a smile and thoughtfully replaced the table for the Golden Flame Sculpture with a brand new one before taking her leave.
"Damn it, it's all those human insects' fault!"
The Golden Flame Eagle was furious. It couldn't help but raise its paw to slam it onto the table, but stopped abruptly halfway down.
This made it feel even more aggrieved.
...
"Golden Flame Eagle!"
On the other side, Lu Tao in room 99 used his Heavenly Eye to observe the scene in room 7 and couldn't help but smile.
"It's just a short distance away, so please hold onto it for me for now."
The Sand at a Glance was not only something the Golden Flame Eagle was determined to obtain, but also something Lu Tao wanted. The main reason he didn't continue bidding was that he didn't want to lose too much.
Since I'll have to get it back anyway, I might as well save some spiritual energy for myself.
Lu Tao withdrew his Heavenly Eye and continued participating in the auction: "Six mid-grade divine veins!"
At this moment, the Crimson Sun Society will continue to auction a royal-grade refining material, which is of the same grade as the Sand of the Inch just now.
Lu Tao certainly wouldn't let go of these refining materials, which could even be considered as valuable as fragments from the Dragon Transformation Pool; the more the better.
But whether it was a coincidence or Lu Tao's intention, the person before him in the bidding also happened to be a demon.
Was it intentional or accidental?
"Accidental my foot! He did it on purpose! These human insects are truly despicable, specifically targeting our demon and monster races. They deserve to die!"
"Damn it, it's happening again! He was silent the whole time, but as soon as I opened my mouth, he started bidding? And he says it's not targeting my demon race? He's definitely doing it on purpose!"
"Damn it, the other powerful humans didn't even bother to warn him, just letting him run wild!"
"What do you mean by letting things run rampant? Maybe it was instructed by a powerful human?"
...
The auction hall erupted in chaos once more, the fury of the demon and monster races towards Lu Tao having long since transformed into intense killing intent.
If this weren't the Crimson Sun Society, these demons would probably have rushed up and torn Lu Tao to pieces immediately.
Not to mention the demon and monster races, even many powerful human beings couldn't help but have doubts.
But they didn't know Lu Tao at all, so they couldn't very well offer him a word of advice.
We'll see.
If we were to offer a reminder, wouldn't it make humanity appear weak?
"Six mid-grade divine veins, is there a higher price?"
The auctioneer shouted, glancing at room 99 with a puzzled look in his eyes. Even he, the auctioneer, was unsure of what this human was thinking.
The situation in Yulongtian has been very serious recently. All three clans know that other forces are stirring up trouble in the dark. Therefore, all three clans have been quite restrained in their actions.
However, after the Tianyu Sect stopped interfering in affairs, the conflicts and frictions between the three clans grew larger and larger.
However, even so, the three races would only vent their anger and then restrain themselves to prevent the conflict and friction from escalating.
However, at this moment, it seems that after scheming against the Golden Flame Eagle, this human chose to continue provoking other demon races, which the old man considered unwise.
But as the auctioneer, he naturally wouldn't offer any further reminders.
Just as his thoughts were racing, someone else called out a bid, but it was the voice of the Golden Flame Eagle that he least wanted to hear: "Seven mid-grade divine veins!"
boom--
The sound of the Golden Flame Eagle caused another uproar in the auction hall.
They could vaguely sense the tension between the Golden Flame Eagle and Lu Tao.
As expected.
Lu Tao then called out again: "Seven mid-grade divine veins, plus one million high-grade divine stones!"
"Eight mid-grade divine veins!"
"Eight mid-grade divine veins, plus..."
Before Lu Tao could finish speaking, the Golden Flame Eagle continued bidding: "Nine mid-grade divine veins!"
It knew that Lu Tao possessed at least twelve mid-grade divine veins. Although these things would all belong to it after Lu Tao was killed, it would be very pleased if it could make this human insect suffer a setback.
It is angry and wants to vent it immediately.
Then, in the next instant, the Golden Flame Eagle was dumbfounded.
The human insectoid's bidding voice did not continue.
It was dumbfounded, but that didn't stop the other demons from celebrating with it.
"Hahaha, they chickened out again. These human insectoids are really cowardly!"
"Congratulations to the Golden Flame Eagle Clan fellow Daoist for suppressing the human insects and winning the treasure!"
"Hmph, you have the guts to provoke my demon and monster races, but you don't have the courage to continue the auction? You're truly useless. If you have the guts, continue!"
"Hahaha, a bug is a bug, coward to the end!"
...
Although these sounds were full of joy and cheering for the Golden Flame Eagle, they sounded so grating to its ears.
It was clearly the human race who had outmaneuvered it once again, yet the cultivators of the demon and monster races were cheering. How could that not be jarring?
What's the difference between this and being sold out and still helping to count the money?
What made it even more upset was that after it made its bid, no other cultivators made a bid.
The demon and monster cultivators seemed to believe that it was suppressing the human race, so they gave up bidding against it; while the human race seemed unwilling to further escalate the conflict, so they also gave up bidding.
This led to it once again winning a crafting material at auction due to a dispute over pride.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Golden Flame Eagle in Room 7 for successfully bidding on the Phoenix Blood Crystal!"
As soon as the auctioneer finalized the result, Yin Hongzhuang returned to the Golden Flame Eagle with a professional and gentle smile on her face: "Fellow Daoist Golden Flame Eagle, this is the Phoenix Blood Crystal. Please take a look!"
"..."
The Golden Flame Eagle held the Phoenix Blood Crystal, clenching and unclenching its fist repeatedly three times. Finally, it suppressed its anger and the urge to crush the Phoenix Blood Crystal: "No problem!"
"Alright, please pay with nine mid-grade divine veins!"
