The interior of the Liulitian Auction House is completely different from the unadorned exterior of Soto City; it's like another world altogether.
The enormous dome was inlaid with countless fist-sized moonstones, emitting a soft yet bright glow that illuminated the entire venue as if it were daytime.
The ground was covered with a dark red carpet made of the fur of an unknown soul beast, which made no sound when stepped on.
The entire venue is circular, with a huge circular auction stage in the center, and seats extending upwards in layers around it. At the top level are individual private rooms separated by one-way crystals.
Qian Daoliu and his group were led by a waiter into the best-located private room, number one.
The room's furnishings weren't luxurious, but they exuded a rustic and grand atmosphere.
Through the huge crystal window in front of you, you can see all the thousands of seats below and the auction stage in the center.
Qian Daoliu did not sit down. He stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his golden eyes coldly scanning the area below.
On the throne of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, Emperor Xue Ye sat upright, with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe beside him—no, it was Qian Renxue in disguise.
Further away, he saw the sect leaders of the four lower sects, the iconic large face of Tianxiang Huyanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, and the representatives of the Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Serpent Spear Sect...
He even saw several clan leaders from small sects who had long since declared their seclusion or had been suppressed by the Spirit Hall to the point of being insignificant.
Almost all the well-known forces on the mainland have come.
A cold smile curved at the corners of Qian Daoliu's lips.
very good.
That's really great.
He considered himself to have held the position of Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall for decades, overseeing the changes on the continent, but he was unaware of when such earth-shattering changes had taken place in the world.
When were these monsters and demons brought together by that kid named Ning Liu?
Such a grand undertaking and such meticulous planning could not have been accomplished in a single day.
Is the Spirit Hall's intelligence network, which spans the entire continent, just for show?
A thought uncontrollably popped into Qian Daoliu's mind.
What about Bibi Dong?
Where is she now, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall?
Why didn't she notice anything so important?
Or perhaps...she noticed it, but didn't report it to the Elders' Hall?
This thought made Qian Daoliu's heart sink.
He didn't want to believe it, but that doubt, like a seed, quietly took root in his heart.
As he was pondering, the lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, except for the auction stage in the center, which was enveloped by a soft white beam of light.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a woman in a white evening gown walked gracefully onto the auction stage.
She looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with long, wavy brown hair cascading down her back, delicate features, and a smiling face.
Her large, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes, and her every glance exuded a warm and approachable charm.
Good evening, distinguished guests.
The crisp, melodious sound, amplified by the Soul Guidance loudspeaker, resonated clearly throughout every corner of the venue.
"I am DouDou, the chief auctioneer of LiuLiTian. Welcome everyone."
Her voice possessed a peculiar magic, instantly easing the tense atmosphere that had arisen from the earlier earth-shattering confrontation outside the city.
DouDou gave a graceful bow to the audience, then winked playfully and smiled:
"It seems that Soto City is unusually lively tonight, and the night wind outside the city is much noisier than usual. It seems that this is the most magnificent prelude to our once-in-a-lifetime auction."
Upon hearing this, the audience fell silent for a moment, then burst into suppressed laughter and murmurs.
Everyone could tell that the beautiful auctioneer was using a humorous way to tease the confrontation between the titled Douluo that had almost turned Soto City upside down.
This composure and confidence gave everyone present a deeper understanding of Liuli Tian's strength.
Inside the private room, Qian Daoliu's face darkened even further.
To treat his concession, a peerless Douluo, as the "opening act" of the auction? What audacity!
Qian Renxue looked at Dou Dou on the stage, then glanced at her grandfather beside her, whose aura was growing colder, and a complex expression appeared in her eyes.
She had to admit that everyone from the mysterious Ning Liu to the powerful figures under his command, and even the humble auctioneer before her, exuded an unprecedented confidence and pride.
On the auction stage, DouDou gracefully raised her hand and made a slight pressure, immediately silencing the noise in the room.
"DouDou knows that all of you esteemed guests have very precious time and must be eager to get started."
Her smile grew even brighter, and her voice rose in pitch, filled with passion and infectious energy.
"Then, I won't waste any more pleasantries."
She took a deep breath and opened her arms as if to embrace the entire venue.
"I hereby declare the Glazed Heaven Auction to be officially open!"
boom!
As her words fell, the atmosphere in the entire venue was completely ignited! Countless people craned their necks, their eyes gleaming with fervor and anticipation.
"Now, let's move on to the first item up for auction tonight!"
DouDou turned to the side, made a "please" gesture towards the backstage area, and wore a mysterious and charming smile.
All eyes turned to the darkness hidden by the curtain.
What will be the first item up for auction?
The thing that Liuli Tian placed at the very beginning of such a grand event, to kick things off, could not possibly be an ordinary object!
Even Qian Daoliu couldn't help but temporarily shift his attention from his suspicions about Bibi Dong to the dark entrance.
He wanted to see what this Liuli Tian was really up to!
