Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 773: I Admire Her Very Much

Increasing the price by eight billion in a single bid?

Most importantly, no.555 pavilion was on the second floor. It might not have been so shocking if it was the 13 Clans or the third floor’s influential clans, huge merchants, or some large clan!

Using 20 billion celestial stones because of a grudge? However, their target was the Lu Clan of the 13 Clans? The dictator of the White Dragon Archipelago?

The whole hall was very lively and was extremely excited. They were many people that were in her to watch shows, and this was the kind of shows they were looking forward to. Wasn’t this interesting? All eyes were on Lu Clan’s pavilion and wanted to see if the Lu Clan would withdraw?

“Hmph!”

Lu Lin didn’t bid and let out snorts instead. “Young Lady Yinian, can anyone just randomly bid in the auction? Can some nobody actually bring out 20 billion celestial stones? I express my doubts about the fairness of the auction.”

Lu Lin’s statement had roused up a discussion. He wasn’t wrong to say so… if it wasn’t a large clan, would someone be able to afford 20 billion? If this person was from an influential clan, would he be seated in the small pavilions of the second floor? If he was randomly bidding and was ultimately unable to pay the celestial stones, the Situ Clan would have confiscated his 100 million earnest money while Lu Lin would suffer a loss.

Situ Yinian was a little concerned as well as she looked towards the no.2 pavilion seemingly wanting to seek an opinion from Situ Ao. It was best if he could send someone to verify.

“Hahaha!”

Who knew that Situ Ao would laugh loudly? He then spoke with a loud and clear voice, “Nephew Lu can be at ease. This auction is absolutely fair. I can personally guarantee that no.555 pavilion will certainly be able to afford this price. Furthermore… anything below 100 billion isn’t a problem!”

Ss, ss…

Gasps could be heard everywhere.

100 billion?

Who exactly was seated inside no.555? Could it a Patriarch from a great clan? Or perhaps a wealthy merchant from the East Imperial Continent? Since they had such wealth, why would they be seated in a small pavilion?

“Could it be the Heaven Paintings’ artist, Yi Piaopiao?”

Some people had clever minds and thought of this possibility very quickly. After all, if someone had a wealth of 100 billion, it was impossible for the Situ Clan not to offer them a pavilion on the third floor. A pity that no one had the qualification to obtain information about the people inside the pavilion unless they reveal their original voice voluntarily. In these regards, the Situ Clan had done a great job.

Lu Lin was frightened, and Situ Ao’s meaning was obvious: ‘If you want to risk it with no.555 pavilion, he will also risk against it.’ Furthermore, during the auction’s first item, no.555 pavilion had suddenly stop bidding. What if he was also intentionally increasing the price? If he was to increase the price to 50 billion and stop bidding, Lu Lin would have to crash into the wall.

The Lu Clan’s elder had restrained Lu Lin and Lu Yu from bidding, which caused the surroundings to turn quiet. No one else made a bid and after waiting for a moment, Situ Yinian spoke, “No one else is going to make a bid, right? Three, two, one, sold! This Purple Soul Bells will belong to the guest in no.555 pavilion.”

“Wait!”

All of a sudden, the customer in no.555 pavilion spoke again. He paused before speaking, “Please help me to give this Purple Soul Bells to the Young Lady Qi Ling who made the bid earlier from the Nangong Clan. And help me to relay a message to her. I… admire her very much!

“Pfff!”

The entire crowd burst out with waves of laughter. Some guests who were drinking tea had spurted it all out and were coughing after getting choked. Everyone present could hear his statement, and the Nangong Clan’s pavilion could naturally hear it as well. Was there even a need to relay a message? Wasn’t this absolutely unnecessary…?

After the waves of laughter, many people were raising their thumbs as this no.555 pavilion’s customer was too generous and actually spent 20 billion to buy a treasure for picking up girls? That young lady from the Nangong Clan obviously like the bells and was the first to make the bid. Everyone knew it, and she was probably so touched that she was crying.

“Wuu-Wuu!”

In the Nangong Clan’s pavilion, Big Sister Bell was indeed crying very badly. It wasn’t because of the 20-billion treasure, but because she knew the identity of the customer in no.555 pavilion.

Regular people wouldn’t know the name ‘Qi Ling’. If someone dared to bid 20 billion for the Purple Soul Bells for a gift to her and even dared to tease her in public, that person must be Jiang Yi.

Big Sister Bell knew about everything that happened between Jiang Yi and Lu Lin. She also knew that Jiang Yi and the others had fled from Sky Thunder Island, but she didn’t expect for Jiang Yi to arrive at Gods Bestow City and had such a huge wealth.

“En?”

The Nangong Clan Head, Nangong Yunyi, frowned and took a glance at Big Sister Bell at the back and asked, “Qi Ling, do you know the person from no.555 pavilion?”

Big Sister Bell wiped her tears and quickly stood up while replying with respect, “Clan Head, I do not know that person. Qi Ling was simply too excited earlier as Qi Ling really wanted this Purple Soul Bells.”

“Return it to him later on!”

Nangong Yunyi spoke indifferently, “Our Nangong Clan will not casually accept things from others. Qi Ling, you are also a widow and should not have such casual ties with other men, or you might just ruin the reputation of the Nangong Clan.”

Big Sister Bell’s expression turned dark, but she still cupped her hands and replied respectfully, “Qi Ling will bear in mind about Clan Head’s teaching. I will return it back to him later on.”

…

“Boss, you are too forthright!”

At the same time, in no.555 pavilion, Qian Wanguan and the others were stunned. Previously when Jiang Yi had been increasing the price, everyone didn’t dare to let out a single voice. Now that it had been finalized, he looked at Jiang Yi with heartache.

Qian Wanguan was born in a merchant’s clan and was very sensitive towards gold and celestial stones. Without an ample clan’s foundation, he would feel extremely insecure. Now that he was following Jiang Yi and as his housekeeper, he naturally wanted to make sure that Jiang Yi’s financial matters were done properly.

He never would have expected for Jiang Yi to be such a spendthrift and spend money like it was water. Like when he gifted 100 million celestial stones to Huangfu Taotian. Now, he actually spent 20 billion celestial stones to buy a treasure and even gifted it to someone else.

Feng Luan and Qing Yu were also feeling the heartache, but they quickly understood. Big Sister Bell had helped out Jiang Yi and them. With Jiang Yi’s personality—let alone 20 billion—even if Lu Lin continued to increase the price, he wouldn’t even hesitate to throw all 100 billion celestial stones.

Jiang Yi didn’t pay any attention and just laughed it off while pointing at the crystal ball and saying, “Alright, stop talking. Let’s see what the next two treasures are.”

“Now, we will begin the auction for the last second treasure!”

Situ Yinian waved a hand while a few attendants brought in a treasure. It was covered by a red cloth and had a huge size. Even four Vajra Realm martial artists struggled when they carried it in.

After putting down the treasure, Situ Yinian pulled gently and revealed an ancient copper-colored war chariot. She then started to introduce it: “This is a war chariot, and it was discovered in an ancient ruin. Our treasure appraiser has appraised this war chariot, and it is the top class Heaven Divine War Chariot. The speed is as fast as a peak-stage Heaven Monarch and has a defensive restriction which can withstand the all-out attacks from ten regular peak-stage Heaven Monarchs for ten days and ten nights!

“Of course… this isn’t the important point. Most importantly, our clan’s treasure appraiser has determined that this Heaven Divine War Chariot’s owner was the Blood Emperor from 500,000 years ago! That’s right… it was that Blood Emperor that had turned the entire East Imperial Continent upside down. This war chariot was named the Blood Emperor War Chariot 500,000 years ago! Right now, we will start the auction for the Blood Emperor War Chariot. The base price will be 10 billion, and every bid must not be less than one billion.”

“Wow!”

The whole crowd was flared up as this was a true cardinal treasure. The impressive prestige of the Blood Emperor was renowned throughout the entire Stellarsky Domain. Back then, he did cause chaos and turned the entire East Imperial Continent upside down. He even started a fight with the Wu Clan’s Patriarch and even caused the Wu Clan Head to vomit blood from injuries. He could be said to have remarkable combat strength. Afterward, the Blood Emperor was attacked by the East Imperial Nine Thearchs and fled after suffering severe injuries. He never appeared ever again, and his Blood Emperor War Chariot finally resurfaced after 500,000 years.

“Great item!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up as this war chariot wasn’t just fast, but it even had a dreadful defensive ability. Most importantly, it was famed. If one was to ride on this war chariot, it was already a symbol of status.

It was a pity that he definitely didn’t have enough celestial stones. Even if he had enough, he wouldn’t dare to purchase it; or he might die without knowing what happened. With his strength and status, he was simply not qualified to ride on such a top-class war chariot. The commoner didn’t have sins, but if they hid a jade, they would have sinned as people would assume that he stole it.

“30 billion!”

Lei Tingwei was the first to make the bid as he had given recognition to the value of this war chariot and also his intention to compete for it.
