When the elder of Wanbao Pavilion faced the questioning of the ancestor of Ziyang Sect, his face darkened and he instantly released the powerful pressure of the Mahayana period, suppressing the momentum of the ancestor of Ziyang Sect.
"Hmph! In my Wanbao Pavilion, it's not your turn to act wildly! If you want to save someone, then bid honestly."
The elder from Wanbao Pavilion warned coldly.
Under this powerful pressure, the ancestor of Zi Yang Sect's face became increasingly ugly, but he also knew very well the strength of Wan Bao Pavilion, which was not something that their Zi Yang Sect could easily provoke.
"Alright, I want to see who dares to snatch people from my Ziyang Sect!"
The ancestor of Ziyang Sect suppressed the anger in his heart and said with gritted teeth.
At this moment, the audience was in an uproar. No one expected that things would develop to this point.
Ye Chen, who was hiding in the crowd, had a barely noticeable smile on his face.
"Bidding begins now. The starting price is one million mid-grade spirit stones. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
The elder from Wanbao Pavilion said this expressionlessly, while glancing at the people below the stage.
"One million mid-grade spirit stones!"
The ancestor of Zi Yang Sect was furious. He snorted coldly and made the first bid. He glanced around and warned everyone not to bid.
There was silence in the audience, and no one made a bid for a while.
After all, this involves the Zi Yang Sect, and no one wants to offend easily.
"Two million mid-grade spirit stones."
At this moment, Ye Chen, shrouded in a black robe, smiled cunningly and raised the sign.
Xuan Yushu was locked up in Ye Chen's Tiandao Pearl for more than half a month, which means Ye Chen took care of him for half a month.
If the auction price was only one million spirit stones, Ye Chen felt that he would suffer a huge loss, so he raised the price without hesitation.
Moreover, the ancestor of Zi Yang Sect was chasing Ye Chen in the mysterious valley. Ye Chen was not one to suffer any loss, so of course he had to take revenge.
You can also earn more spirit stones, isn’t that the best of both worlds!
When the ancestor of Zi Yang Sect heard Ye Chen’s bid, he was immediately furious and stared at Ye Chen.
"Who are you? How dare you go against my Ziyang Sect and offer a price to snatch someone away?"
There was extreme anger in his voice.
"The highest bidder wins. Why all this nonsense!"
Ye Chen's voice was low and hoarse, coming from the black robe.
"You are such a fool! How dare you challenge the dignity of the Ziyang Sect? Do you know the consequences?"
The ancestor of Zi Yang Sect was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"Huh, consequences? Don't scare me, old man. If you want to save someone, just make an offer."
Ye Chen spread his hands and said nonchalantly.
"Ancestor of the Ziyang Sect, please pay attention to the rules of the auction. The highest bidder wins. Please do not disrupt fairness!"
The elder from Wanbao Pavilion warned again at this time.
He also knew that only the ancestor of Ziyang Sect would offer a high price for Xuan Yushu. If it were anyone else, he would have killed him long ago and would not have spoken in such a gentle tone.
The Ziyang Sect's ancestor's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to offend the Wanbao Pavilion, so he could only suppress his anger and said:
"Alright, I want to see how many spirit stones this secretive guy has! Five million mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Six million mid-grade spirit stones!"
Ye Chen sneered and continued to raise the price.
"Seven million mid-grade spirit stones!"
The ancestor of Ziyang Sect roared with his eyes wide open.
"Eight million mid-grade spirit stones!"
Ye Chen raised the price without hesitation.
At this time, the face of the ancestor of Zi Yang Sect became extremely ugly. He did not expect Ye Chen to be so difficult to deal with, and the price was far beyond his expectations.
"Who are you? Has my Ziyang Sect ever offended you?"
The ancestor of Zi Yang Sect had a dark face and was extremely angry.
At this moment, even the dumbest person could guess that this man in black robe must have a grudge against Zi Yang Sect, otherwise no one would pay such a high price to disgust Zi Yang Sect.
"I haven't offended you. I just thought it was fun. Is that okay?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, while crossing his arms in front of his chest, looking nonchalant.
"you……"
The ancestor of Zi Yang Sect pointed at Ye Chen. He now understood that it must be this man in black robe who kidnapped Xuan Yushu and put him up for auction.
He stared at Ye Chen with murderous eyes, wishing he could rush up and grind Ye Chen into ashes.
But in order to rescue Xuan Yushu and maintain the reputation of Ziyang Sect, he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Ten million mid-grade spirit stones!"
The whole place was dead silent, and everyone was shocked by the astonishing price.
Ten million mid-grade spirit stones could even drain an entire sect.
Ye Chen also felt that it was about enough. If they raised the price any further, Zi Yang Sect might have to give up.
"Forget it, since the Ziyang Sect's Patriarch is so persistent, I will give it to you."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, stopped bidding, and said lightly.
"Alas, Brother Yushu and I hit it off right away, and I wanted to save him at a high price. Now I can't do that, what a shame. However, Ziyang Sect is indeed a large sect, with great wealth. I hope that after we return, you, the ancestor, will not treat Brother Yushu unfairly."
Ye Chen bowed slightly, with a half-smile on his face, but there was a barely perceptible cunning in his eyes.
When the people around heard Ye Chen's words, they were suddenly in an uproar.
Are you trying to give in? It's obviously you who's been raising the price.
Is there anyone who insults others as badly as you?
Are there any people as thick-skinned as you?
Aren’t you afraid of getting beaten for this?
"This black-robed man is so bold! How dare he insult the Ziyang Sect's ancestor in such a way? Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"
"Shh, keep your voice down and don't get yourself into trouble. But the Ziyang Sect did bleed heavily today."
"Who is this black-robed man? How dare he challenge the Ziyang Sect like this? Can he escape unscathed?"
"Humph, the Ziyang Sect is usually arrogant and domineering, but today they have encountered a tough opponent."
