Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 845
Chapter 845: Members of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak!
“T-There’s Wushuang’s aura on it.
“It is indeed his sword!”
As the long sword appeared, Ye Chen’s pupils constricted slightly. Even his voice became a little hoarse. His body, which was sitting on the seat, was trembling slightly.
The sword intent emitted from that long sword had an unyielding will and an arrogance that looked down on the world. Others could only marvel at the sword intent.
However, to Ye Chen, it was this aura that made him feel like he was electrocuted. The same fluctuation was something only Wushuang could do. No one else could imitate it.
‘Wushuang, you really are at the Sword Sect!’
Ye Chen gulped. He clenched his fists that were on his lap subconsciously, ‘Wait for me. I’ll come and find you soon!’
His slightly moist eyes studied the reactions of the people present.
Seeing that everyone was more excited than him, his gaze suddenly turned cold, ‘But before that, I have to get your sword back!’
“Everyone, this sword belonged to the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak’s Sword Son, Ye Wushuang. I believe everyone has heard of Ye Wushuang’s name, so I won’t introduce him. The auction officially begins. The starting price is 100,000 Kun Dollars, and each bid must not be lower than 1,000 Kun Dollars!”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall reached a climax.
“Did I hear wrongly? The sword on it is actually the sword of that freak from the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak?”
“It’s fake, isn’t it? The Sword Sect is a supreme sect among the three sects and four groups. They have always been loyal to their sword, yet someone actually dared to auction their sword. Furthermore, it’s the sword of a Sword Son. Could it be that they don’t want to die quickly enough?!”
“Hehe, if it was the sword of the other disciples of the Sword Sect, then there would really be no one that dared to bid for it. However, it would be different if it was the sword of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak’s Sword Son. It’s common knowledge that the Ninth Peak’s position in the Sword Sect is the most embarrassing, and it’s always been ostracized….”
“Exactly. I presume everyone knows that after the Sword Son from the Ninth Peak challenged the Sword Son of the First Peak, Su Qilin, the Ninth Peak has been reduced to a public target. It’s normal for the Sword Sect’s First Peak to intentionally disgust them.”
The entire auction hall fell into a hubbub. Countless people stared at the sword in shock and excitement.
It was not that they were surprised that the sword was a supreme-grade spirit weapon. Instead, they were shocked that there was sword intent on it. Did this not mean that if someone took the sword away, they might be able to comprehend Sword Dao from the sword intent?
However, the atmosphere in the surroundings cooled down once more, and a strange scene of no one bidding actually happened. After all, they were afraid of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak.
After a long silence, someone could not help but bid, “110,000!”
Numerous gazes looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the bidder was seated in a room on the second floor of the auction house. They seemed to want to know who the bidder was, but they could not see anything.
“120,000!”
Another person spoke.
“150,000!”
“160,000!”
“…”
In just a few minutes, people kept bidding, and the price kept rising until it reached 200,000. Even so, they had no intention of stopping.
There was no lack of participants from the three sects and four groups. From this, it could be seen that the sword that Ye Wushuang used was extremely tempting to these people.
Three people in conical hats were currently seated in a room on the second floor of the auction house. The atmosphere in the room became a little tense as the price continued to rise.
At this moment, one of them immediately removed the hat on her head, revealing an extremely pure face. She was clearly a young girl of 18 or 19.
The girl’s face scrunched up, “Eldest Senior Brother, junior brother’s sword is being sold for such a high price. What should we do now? The money master gave us is probably not enough!”
“That’s right, Eldest Senior Brother. Before we left, master only gave us 3,000 origin stones, and that was only in exchange for master selling magic tools…” The other man could not help but smile bitterly.
Their monthly offerings were at most 50 origin stones, which was equivalent to 5,000 Kun Dollars. To them, hundreds of thousands of Kun Dollars was an astronomical price.
“Let’s wait and see!”
The last man sighed softly, “The First Peak is auctioning off our Youngest Junior Brother’s sword, which means that they’ve completely fallen out with the Ninth Peak. This concerns the dignity of the Ninth Peak, and the final battle between our Youngest Junior Brother and Su is imminent. We must retrieve our Youngest Junior Brother’s sword!”
The man from before clenched his fists tightly, “The people from the First Peak crushed us. They did not want to see the Ninth Peak rise to power, so they kept trying to suppress our Youngest Junior Brother…”
“250,000!”
At the auction venue, when Ye Wushuang’s sword was raised to the astronomical price of 250,000 Kun Dollars, many forces gave up. They started to realize that it was unwise to compete with the people from the three sects and four groups.
At that moment, a calm voice rang out, “300,000!”
The sudden voice stunned everyone, including Fu Qiuchan and the rest.
When they looked in the direction of the voice, they realized that the bidder was sitting behind them, and it was the same person who had been staring at Fu Qingqing earlier.
Fu Qiuchan lowered his voice and said, “Since this person offered 300,000 Kun Dollars, he must be from the three sects and four groups. He’s most likely a true disciple. We cannot offend him!”
Yue Kun, who was next to her, agreed upon hearing that. Only Fu Qingqing stared at Ye Chen. She thought that his voice sounded familiar.
The auctioneer looked around and asked, “This VIP bid 300,000. Do I hear a higher bid?”
The three people on the second floor fell silent. This price had exceeded their limit.
The innocent girl said angrily, “Eldest Senior Brother, let me out. I don’t believe that these people will dare to compete with us after bringing up the name of the Ninth Peak!”
“Nonsense!”
The eldest senior brother of the Ninth Peak berated in a low voice, “Do you think we haven’t embarrassed ourselves enough? Besides, even if you go out, you won’t be able to take back Youngest Junior Brother’s sword!”
“Then tell me, what should we do? Don’t tell me we can only watch as our junior brother’s sword is being taken away?” The innocent girl’s tears fell.
“Wait!”
The eldest senior brother from Ninth Peak sucked in a deep breath in and looked at the long sword on the auction table with a determined look in his eyes, “I’ll do that if that’s the last resort!”
When the auctioneer saw that no one was bidding, he could not help but say, “300,000 going once, 300,000 going twice…”
“350,000!”
A playful voice was heard.
Ye Chen’s eyes turned grim. He lifted his head slowly and looked at a room on the third floor of the auction house. His gaze was cold, “400,000!”
