Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, and drops of blood dripped from his fists, but in the end he had no choice but to sit down obediently.
He wasn't afraid of the Li family, but if he was disqualified from bidding because of his actions, then he would truly have no chance of obtaining the Three Lives Rejuvenating Lotus.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Lin Fan kept comforting himself, then closed his eyes and stopped looking at Zhou Xingdou, who was making insulting gestures towards him.
In his previous life, he clearly hated Zhou Xingdou, yet he was able to endure it for twenty years without retaliating, only killing Zhou Xingdou after he had no further use to him, which already proved his patience.
Zhou Xingdou naturally did not believe that Lin Tong's corpse alone could cause Lin Fan to break through his defenses and go berserk.
After all, based on his understanding of Lin Fan, if he hadn't verbally attacked him, this beast probably wouldn't have acted impulsively just now.
But the real show is yet to come; this is just an appetizer.
After the situation stabilized, the old man on the auction platform asked:
"Nine hundred thousand spirit stones, are there any other bidders?"
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the crowd began to bid. After all, this saint's body was of the highest quality, and even if it cost a million high-grade spirit stones, it wouldn't be a loss.
"Nine hundred and one thousand!"
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Ninety-eight hundred thousand!"
Seeing that Lin Fan was not looking at the picture, Zhou Xingdou stopped bidding wildly and finally won back the saint's body, which he had originally put up for auction, for 1.08 million high-grade spirit stones.
The auction house immediately had Lin Tong's body delivered to the viewing platform where Zhou Xingdou was.
However, Zhou Xingdou laid Lin Tong's body in front of him as a footrest, while he placed Lin Tong's head on the railing.
Those unclosed eyes stared straight at Lin Fan opposite him. Whenever Lin Fan opened his eyes, they would meet his dead father's gaze, allowing him to feel the fatherly love he lacked in his childhood.
Now that the saint's remains have been auctioned off, the old man who presided over the auction spoke again:
"Next up is the highlight of this auction, but it can't really be called an item; it should be described as a living person."
As they spoke, the auctioneers pushed up a cage wrapped in red cloth from below. Lin Fan opened his eyes at that moment, but as soon as he opened them, he saw his own father's head staring straight at him.
This scene almost made him choke, but for the sake of the Three Lives Resurrection Lotus, he suppressed his anger once again. In his eyes, the fat man opposite him had already found a way to die, and he would definitely kill him in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan's emotions calmed down considerably. He had already won mentally. After the auction ended, he would ask the Li family, in his capacity as a member of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, where they got his father's corpse and the identity of this fat man.
At this moment, he also turned his attention back to the auction stage. The final items were preceded by the remains of a saint and followed by the Three-Life Resurrection Lotus. They were probably no ordinary items, which made him very curious about what they were.
The old man presiding over the auction walked towards the cage. Everyone in the auction house looked at the cage with curiosity. It was located behind the remains of the saint, and it was a living person. Could it be a living saint?
Just as everyone was curious, the old man pulled back the red cloth covering the cage, revealing a delicate figure inside.
This was a beautiful woman, slender with fair skin, wearing a brocade dress, though the dress was filthy and disheveled.
Her delicate face was filled with fear, and her whole body trembled as if she had encountered a great terror. She huddled in the corner of the cage, watching everything in horror.
However, discontent arose from the audience:
"Are you kidding me? A woman at the Physical Realm?"
"Besides her good looks, what makes this woman worthy of being the grand finale? Has your Li Family Auction House made a mistake?"
"Damn it, there are tons of women with this level of cultivation outside, why would they need to be auctioned off with spirit stones?"
Unlike the dissatisfaction of the others, Lin Fan felt a sudden pang of pain when he saw this figure, causing his face to turn pale, his breathing to become rapid, and his pupils to dilate dramatically.
Zhou Xingdou had now focused all his attention on Lin Fan, carefully observing his expression. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
"Everyone, I can only say that this woman has a big secret, and she is definitely worth the price. The starting bid is also 300,000 high-grade spirit stones."
But Lin Fan stood up at this moment. The person in the cage was none other than Qiu Yu, whom he had searched the entire residence of the True Inheritor that morning but could not find!
Looking at his beloved, imprisoned in a cage and offered for auction, Lin Fan felt a tightness in his chest. A surge of grief mixed with extreme anger welled up in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Fan stood on the stands, his eyes turning bloodshot, his entire being radiating a powerful killing intent. Like a rampaging young beast, he roared:
"How dare you! How dare you auction her off!"
Lin Fan's voice resounded throughout the auction hall. This time, without Zhou Xingdou speaking, a man at the King-level expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Why are you yelling so loudly! Were you your father just now, and now you're your wife?"
At this moment, Qiu Yu, trapped in the cage, was also drawn by the sound. Seeing tears streaming down Lin Fan's bright eyes, she immediately grabbed the cage, her emotions running high, and cried out to Lin Fan in sorrow:
"Young Master! Please, save Qiuyu!"
Lin Fan's face was contorted, and endless grief and anger bloomed in his heart:
"Li family, you kidnapped a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect and then auctioned him off. Aren't you afraid of the wrath of Heaven?"
This time, unlike Lin Tong's corpse, since Lin Fan disappeared not long after his birth, the two had blood ties but not much affection.
But Qiu Yu is different. She grew up with him, like a sister and a servant. Now he has fallen in love with Qiu Yu and is convinced that she is his soulmate.
But just when the two were about to get married, his beloved was auctioned off like an object, how could he remain calm?
Lin Fan's words caused a stir among the people present. Kidnapping people from the Xuantian Dao Sect and then auctioning them off was no small matter; it was tantamount to slapping the Xuantian Dao Sect in the face.
Even if the Li family is an appendage of the Xuantian Dao Sect, they still need to give the Xuantian Dao Sect a reasonable explanation, otherwise they will have to bear the wrath of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
At this moment, the old man on the auction stage turned grim, his murderous gaze fixed on Lin Fan:
"Young friend! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"We have a slave contract with this woman, and she is not a true disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect. If you continue to speak nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The people in the audience started discussing it, each offering their own opinion.
“The Li family rose to prominence by relying on the Xuantian Dao Sect, and many family members hold positions in the Xuantian Dao Sect. How could they do something so foolish as to sever their own foundation?”
"That's true. Even if the Li family were stupid, they wouldn't do such a thing. And even if they did, why would they be so foolish as to put the person up for auction?"
Lin Fan showed no fear in the face of the old man's threat, gritting his teeth as he said:
"The true disciples and their followers are all recorded within the sect. Do you think you can fool everyone?"
