Yao Chen had initially thought his little house was gone, but now he realized it had been bought by one of his own!
That "man" was actually from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!
The Heavenly Serpent Mansion—that's my house, isn't it?
"Hehe~"
Although Lü Man presented the ring to Qi Yan'er, everyone in the room knew it was a gift for this "Mansion Master's Wife"!
Tsk tsk~
So many suitors, it seems there are only benefits, no drawbacks!
"When did the Heavenly Serpent Mansion get involved with them?"
Fan Ling muttered darkly.
At this moment, Elder Luo behind him hurriedly reported:
"Young Sect Master, the Sect Master just sent word that they had a fierce battle not long ago."
"A fierce battle?"
Fan Ling's lips twitched, astonished:
"A fierce battle to the point of becoming good friends?"
"Young Sect Master, that sixth-order eight-winged black serpent king outside the city must be from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion,"
Elder Luo reported again in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Fan Ling's face darkened, and he angrily said,
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Elder
Luo was speechless.
He wasn't a prophet; how could he know such details?
"Two million seven hundred thousand!"
Taking a deep breath, a sickly madness appeared on Fan Ling's pale face.
His sinister gaze fixed on the alluring Green Barbarian and Elder Qing.
"Young Sect Master Fan Ling is truly generous, two million seven hundred thousand! I hope you still have enough funds in the end! Hehe~"
After Fan Ling raised the price, Elder Qing's expression changed slightly.
Their purpose for coming here wasn't this flying combat technique, but rather to "play," so naturally they wouldn't waste too much of the manor's funds.
Therefore, they immediately gave up on continuing the bidding, scoffing.
"Hmph."
Having regained his face this time, Fan Ling sneered and immediately turned his gaze to the crystal platform, shouting at the still-dazed auctioneer,
"What are you still daydreaming about?"
"Oh, oh, Young Sect Master, please don't be angry."
The old man, startled awake, hurriedly smiled apologetically and then brought down the auction hammer in his hand.
"Truly worthy of the Blood Sect, a single bid of two million nine hundred thousand gold coins!"
Looking at Fan Ling slowly sitting down in the next room, Qi Yan'er's big eyes narrowed slightly, and she chuckled softly.
Everyone who saw this scene felt something; they were being watched.
Following the Thunder Bat Wings, the auction items entered a slump. Although those auctioned items fetched considerable prices, they paled in comparison to this large sum.
"Hehe~ The next item to be auctioned is something that startled me as soon as I heard about it. I imagine you all will be just as shocked as I was." As
the auctioneer spoke, he suddenly stomped his foot, and instantly, a platform rose up beside him.
On the platform was an object draped in brocade.
Though the object inside was obscured, its shape resembled a person!
"Is it a person?"
"Or a slave?"
"But if it's a slave, why isn't it in a cage?"
While everyone speculated, Qi Yan'er raised her lips and murmured,
"Hehe~ It's finally here!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gaze downwards, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They knew very well that what this little monster had taken was definitely not simple, and that was precisely why they were so curious.
"Hehe~"
the old man on the auction stage chuckled,
"Gentlemen, please stop guessing. Now, I will unveil its mystery!"
With that, the white-haired old man stepped forward, raised his hand, and pulled back the brocade. Instantly, a towering, dark figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
This person was extremely robust, yet showed no expression whatsoever, his eyes tightly closed as if he had been dead for a long time.
"This is..."
Everyone was completely baffled by the scene:
"A standing dead person?"
"A dead person being auctioned off? Are you kidding me!"
"What bad luck!"
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing the motionless voice, seemingly dead for many years, the auction hall erupted in boos.
Fan Ling's face darkened:
"That's it?"
Elder Luo solemnly said:
"Young Sect Master, I just learned that this person was left behind by that senior, and it was even created by that little girl!" "
..."
*Slap!*
Fan Ling felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and then fell silent.
How could something left behind by that senior be simple?
"I wonder if any of you here know what this is?"
the white-haired old man asked with a mysterious smile.
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Clearly, they did not know what this "dead person" was.
Just then, the middle-aged man from the Black Skull Tomb suddenly spoke in a deep voice:
"It's a puppet!"
"That's right!"
The auction elder looked towards the second floor, nodded and smiled:
"Senior is right, it's not a human, but a puppet!"
"According to the introduction left by the previous senior, this puppet is called the Human-Demon Puppet, it hasn't yet recognized a master, and it has combat power comparable to a peak Dou Wang expert!" As
soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked!
Their mouths gaped open, as if they could fit a small durian inside!
"A puppet with Dou Wang strength? Is it true?!"
"How can a puppet have such high strength? And it's being auctioned off?"
"Am I crazy, or is the person who put it up for auction crazy?"
Incredulous voices rose from the hall, almost overturning the entire auction house.
"Sister Yan'er~ this isn't another little toy your father made for you, is it?"
Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face was full of shock, she asked in astonishment.
"Yes~"
Qi Yan'er giggled,
"This puppet was a little wooden carving my father made for me in his spare time. He said it had the strength of a Dou Wang, but I didn't believe him. But when I took it out earlier, it grew bigger!"
"It even startled that old man!"
"A puppet with the strength of a Dou Wang~"
Ling Ying's lips trembled violently, filled with lingering fear. He thought to himself,
"Luckily, when I went to find Yan'er's father, he wasn't home, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
A wooden carving made casually has the strength of a Dou Wang. Then in his house...
wouldn't there be a whole bunch of other puppets?
Dou Wang is probably the lowest level. There must also be Dou Huang, Dou Zong, and even more terrifying puppets!
Gu Xun'er's pretty face showed a faint smile, but her heart was still unsettled.
The Gu Clan naturally had puppets with the strength of a Dou Wang, but how could they be made from ordinary wood?
How could a puppet carved from wood be made?
Yao Chen and the others looked at the puppet below, their expressions beyond words.
Their worldviews collapsed once again!
If even those who knew Qi Yan'er were so astonished, what about everyone else?
Those who had just booed now wanted to slap themselves hard for their innocence!
What they hadn't seen was actually such a treasure!
A puppet at the peak of the Dou Wang realm could probably even rival a Dou Huang.
After all, no one would easily risk their life against a puppet that didn't seem to feel pain!
In other words, this "dead man" was actually a Black List powerhouse!
Whoever obtained it could instantly become a powerful figure in the Black Corner Region!
This was the real trump card!
"Hiss~"
The thought sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
Their eyes, fixed on the "big shot" on the stage, were filled with greed and longing!
