Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 614 - 611: So you’re rich!

No one dared to speak at this moment, even the people from Jade Void Palace only showed anger but dared not voice it.

East Dongfang Han stood bewildered in the box.

He had never anticipated that just because of his offhand remark about wanting to borrow money, it would trigger a standoff between two Super Sects, with Nangong Duanchen taking action without a second word.

Although he knew in his heart that Nangong Duanchen did not act on his behalf, every time he thought that the cause was himself, Dongfang Han couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.

"Everyone retreat!"

Yuani Ling stood up from the ground and with a gloomy face, barked at the people from Jade Void Palace.

The people from Jade Void Palace were angry, somewhat failing to understand—was Yuani Ling really prepared to just swallow this loss?

"And you."

The eyes that Nangong Duanchen had conjured once again fell upon Han Yunlai.

Han Yunlai’s body shook, and though seething with rage, he still managed a smile, "Master of Nangong Palace, whatever the case, we have met before, and I assure you my actions were not against your daughter, just this Su Han."

"Still unacceptable!"

Nangong Duanchen suddenly bellowed, his shout turning into rolling thunder, causing everyone’s ears to ache with the din. Han Yunlai was struck hardest, his complexion changing as he collapsed against the wall.

He spat out blood, stood up with a dark expression, but ultimately said no more.

This scene once again plunged the entire venue into shock.

They had thoroughly witnessed the dominance of One Slash Palace—offending two Super Sects at once, and appearing to be utterly fearless. The degree of dread it inspired was simply astonishing!

"This is a warning, let there be no next time."

After Nangong Duanchen finished speaking, his towering visage slowly vanished, and the imposing pressure also dissipated.

The crowd immediately let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if the sky was about to fall just moments earlier. That feeling weighed on their hearts, lingering for a long time.

"Is this the Palace Master of One Slash Palace?"

"With but a word, he makes the Grand Elder of Jade Void Palace spit blood, and with a phrase, he sends the Earth Ancestor of the Sect of the Battle God flying!"

"Could it be that Master Nangong’s cultivation base... is of the Dragon Venerate Realm?!"

"Impossible, in today’s era, Dragons Venerates no longer exist!"

"But that pressure just now...clearly wasn’t the same as the Imperial Prestige of Great Elder Yuani Ling."

"One Slash Palace... must not be provoked!"

Countless people silently remarked to themselves, their view of Su Han shifting from disdain to respect.

To ascend from a Sixth-Rate Sect directly to a First-Class Sect was truly a meteoric rise.

While many were discontent in their hearts, this was an edict of One Slash Palace, and no one dared to contradict it, as the ranking of sects was determined by the Super Sects after all.

Su Han watched Yuani Ling and Han Yunlai with cold eyes, not seeming very pleased.

Yuani Ling and Han Yunlai, however, gave Su Han an ice-cold glance, nodding with a fierce smile as if to say, they would remember this encounter.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the atmosphere in the room become somewhat oppressive, Yun Qianqian gently coughed and said, "700 billion Spirit Stones for the first time..."

"710 billion!"

As soon as her voice fell, Yuani Ling spoke again.

He might be wary of Nangong Duanchen, but that didn’t mean he was fearful of competing for the Equipment Sigil.

His bid instantly snapped everyone back to reality, but this time, no one doubted whether Su Han had enough Spirit Stones or not.

"7200 billion!"

Han Yunlai also spoke up.

"7300 billion!"

"7400 billion!"

"7500 billion!"

The other Super Sects were also engaged in the competition.

As for the three Artifact Refining Masters, they seemed to have lost much of their interest by this point.

The current competition, rather than being about a Weapon Rune, seemed more about vying for a title, the title of Artifact Refining Master!

They were already Artifact Refining Masters themselves, and while they placed great importance on the Weapon Rune, they felt the price was becoming somewhat unjustified.

"760 billion!" Nine Heavens Tower also put in a bid.

At this stage, the increments were basically in 100 billion chunks, unlike before when bids would jump by several hundred billion at a time.

Such a staggering sum, even for a Super Sect, would be a tremendous burden.

"8 trillion!"

Su Han spoke up again, directly raising the bid by 400 billion!

The entire venue was shocked!

"How can this Su Baliu be so rich?"

"Is he really that wealthy, or is it all a facade? Could it be that the Phoenix Sect has discovered an extremely terrifying spirit stone vein?"

"This momentum is even stronger than that of a Super Sect!"

"8 trillion for the first time..."

Yun Qianqian gave Su Han a helpless glance and called out again.

"8 trillion for the second time..."

"8.1 trillion!"

Yuani Ling gritted his teeth as he spoke, his gaze fixed on Su Han all the while.

"9 trillion," Su Han stated indifferently.

"What?!"

"Damn, is this a joke?"

"He just raised it by 900 billion? Is the Phoenix Sect manufacturing spirit stones or what?!"

The auction hall immediately buzzed once more, and even the likes of Liuyun who were behind Su Han felt their eyelids twitch violently.

The Phoenix Sect... since when were they so wealthy?

"9.1 trillion!"

Yuani Ling roared, "Su Baliu, I refuse to believe that the foundation of a mere Sixth-Rate Sect like yours can match that of us Super Sects!!!"

"10 trillion."

Su Han didn’t even bother to respond to Yuani Ling, instead calling out a new bid, raising it by another 900 billion.

Yuani Ling almost spat blood, not because he was opposing Su Han, but because he truly valued the Soul Refining Banner’s Weapon Rune, or rather, the Jade Void Palace truly did.

But Su Han’s tactic of raising the bid by 900 billion each time left no room for others to maneuver.

It was as if he wanted to crush them with the price!

In the entire venue, only Nangong Yu and Yun Qianqian knew that no matter how much Su Han bid, he wouldn’t suffer a loss.

Because this Weapon Rune was originally put up for auction by him; even if he ended up bidding 100 trillion and someone else purchased it, the 100 trillion would still ultimately end up in Su Han’s hands.

And now, even if Su Han were to bid 100 million trillion, no one could do anything to him; it would simply mean he wouldn’t profit, and the Weapon Rune would return to his possession.

Of course, this was predicated on the fact that Su Han truly had that much money, as Myriad Treasures Pavilion had special methods to sense the spirit stone fluctuations on each person.

Otherwise, Su Han wouldn’t have sold the Kunpeng Sacred Body to Nangong Yu.

This was the reason no one further questioned whether Su Han truly possessed that amount of spirit stones; since even Myriad Treasures Pavilion had acknowledged it, it must be true.

"Keep it coming." Su Han invited Yuani Ling to continue.

Yuani Ling almost spat blood, flung his robe with a sweep, and snorted coldly, "Fine, you’re rich. I hope you really can cultivate an Artifact Refining Master!"
