The auction took place as scheduled.
Murong Jin sat in the seat of honor, watching the people who were arriving one after another below.
There are only six factions.
The Western Region wizard we dealt with last time has sent people again. After all, the person who killed the high-ranking wizard was Murong Jin. What does that have to do with her, the head of the Lingjiu Pavilion?
Jin Wanyue sat below, surrounded by four men in black robes. The Western Regions sorcerer was also surrounded by four men in black robes. However, their robes were different; one was pure black, and the other was black with gold accents.
The remaining four are Yumen, Dai Lingyuan, Fulingpai, and Wushengpai.
There are three people from the martial arts world now, and Dai Lingyuan was sent here by her.
After all, when the real show begins, Yumen and Dai Lingyuan will be the ones to start.
Dai Lingyuan never expected that there would be someone in the sect he managed who still had such wishful thinking.
Looking at Murong Jin wearing a mask, Dai Lingyuan felt that Murong Jin's scheming had reached a new level.
This time, not only will the problematic sects in the martial arts world be dealt with, but it will also expose some treacherous individuals within the imperial court.
Yi Liu stood in the middle of the hall, where there was a platform with the Evil Eye being auctioned.
"auction."
"Let's begin."
As Yi Liu's voice faded, people started talking about prices.
"Five million taels of gold."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly at the mention of such a large sum of money.
Dai Lingyuan, wearing a mask, said, "Eight million taels of gold."
Yi Liu: "This young master has offered eight million taels of gold. Is there anyone who would offer more?"
Jin Wanyue: "Twenty million taels of gold." Everyone else looked at the mysterious sorceress from Jinling Kingdom, feeling that she was determined to win the auction.
"I'm sorry. Thirty million taels of gold."
The Western Regions directly added ten million taels of gold.
The old man from Yumen chuckled, "Although we don't have that much money, this Evil Eye will allow Yumen to research even more things." He then directly announced, "Fifty million taels of gold!!"
The other two sects gritted their teeth and said, "Fifty-five million taels of gold."
"Fifty-six million taels of gold..."
Dai Lingyuan fiddled with the small jade pendant in his hand, saying, "Fifty-eight million taels of gold."
Jin Wanyue: "Fifty-nine million taels of gold..."
Yumen: "Sixty million taels of gold..."
When he heard that the other two sects and the Western Regions had offered 80 million taels of gold, Murong Jin shook his head inwardly.
Wow, they're really rich.
However, Lingjiu Pavilion is all about money.
"Ninety million taels of gold!"
Yi Liu's eyes were filled with surprise. "Ninety million taels of gold once." "Ninety million taels of gold twice."
"This is the last time, ninety million taels..."
"Wait a minute, raise the price to 95 million taels of gold."
Yi Liu smiled, "Alright, ninety-five million taels of gold per time..."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Master, something terrible has happened! The imperial court has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the others' eyes flashed with murderous intent, and they all turned their attention to the box next to Yi Liu.
They all saw the Evil Eye; it was a transparent box containing a black, glowing bead, just like the one in the rumors.
The sound of a sword being drawn rang out.
The old man from Yumen said, "If you want to rob me, just do it! I spent ninety million taels of gold..."
After hearing the voice of the court official, the group began to fight amongst themselves.
"Since you brought a lot of people, grab them!!"
"And while you're at it, rob them of the gold they brought too!!"
Murong Jin remained seated without moving, while Dai Lingyuan jumped back, and Jin Wanyue also stepped back.
After the people of Yumen pretended to fight, the other three factions started fighting.
If you look closely, you'll see that Jin Wanyue had arranged for some people to mingle among them; Dai Lingyuan's men and Yumen's men were all hiding in the chaos...
When the number of corpses increased, Yi Liu, carrying a box in his arms, was about to run when someone stabbed him with a sword.
The box in his hand fell to the ground, and everyone else frantically tried to grab it.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Murong Jin sat there drinking tea, her voice calm, "Let's cast the net."
The guards and soldiers who appeared from all sides instantly surrounded the entire hall.
Everyone was captured. The people from Yumen stood at a distance, as were Jin Wanyue and Dai Lingyuan.
When the others saw this, they exclaimed, "You..."
When Li Mingzhong appeared, he saw the person sitting there, unhurried and relaxed.
At this moment, only Murong Jin could remain so calm.
Even someone over fifty years old like him couldn't match Murong Jin's composure.
"Your subject greets the Regent."
When the others saw the person above remove the mask, they all felt they had been deceived.
"Murong Jin???"
"Where is the Pavilion Master of Lingjiu Pavilion?"
Murong Jin's eyes were cold. "Now that we're all sitting here, do you think that Pavilion Master is still alive?"
The Lingjiu Pavilion Master is very skilled in martial arts; otherwise, they wouldn't have made a deal with this greedy master.
Such a powerful person, they didn't dare to confront him directly, but unexpectedly, he was killed by Murong Jin...
It was all a scheme set up by Murong Jin from the very beginning.
"Murong Jin, you killed him..."
Murong Jin sat there and said, "That's right, it was I who killed him."
Murong Jin's wicked look startled Jin Wanyue below.
The person on that day had a completely different personality.
Li Mingzhong felt a surge of excitement this time. He hadn't expected to have such an experience following the Regent. No wonder His Majesty had become much more disciplined. He looked at the men and shouted, "Arrest them and bring them to justice!!!"
"yes!!"
The Evil Eye landed on the ground, and some people still tried to break free to snatch it.
It rolled to Jin Wanyue's feet. She looked down and, especially when she saw the lights, she felt something was wrong.
"It's fake."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "The Evil Eye was destroyed twenty years ago. Where did this Evil Eye come from? It's just a rumor."
Jin Wanyue collapsed to the ground, her face filled with sorrow. "Then, will my sister never wake up in this lifetime?"
Murong Jin: "..." Those words were meant for those people.
Dai Lingyuan: "I need to go and clean house."
Murong Jin: "Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
Dai Lingyuan: "..." Every day is a day when I want to kill my brother-in-law.
The old man from Yumen looked at Murong Jin and said, "By the way, Your Highness, if my girl has caused you any trouble, please forgive her."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "By the way, Grandpa, your girl is planning to elope with the commander of the Imperial Guards. If you have the chance, go and meet that commander."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Yumen exclaimed, "The commander of the Imperial Guards? When did that girl hook up with him?"
"No, I have to go see my future grandson-in-law. I can't let my girl ruin him."
Murong Jin looked at the old man who moved as swiftly as the wind, and was speechless for a moment.
I told you to keep a close eye on your granddaughter!
Don't do everything for a man; think about yourself too!
