There was competition among the three private rooms, and each time the lowest price was raised to 500,000 spirit yuan, leaving many people wanting but unable to afford it!
This clearly shows that they do not take essence seriously; to them, it is perhaps just a number.
Of course, it’s not that there aren’t people who have enough wealth to compete with them. Sects like the Sword Sect don’t lack essence at all, but they don’t intervene because there are no banned masters in the sect.
The happiest people among them were the old man and Shi Jiaoyun, because the higher the auction price, the more benefits they would get.
"Eight million!"
"Nine million!"
"Nine and a half million!"
The price quickly climbed to 9.5 million, about to break the 10 million mark.
"My Lord, should we still make an offer?"
The man in black armor hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask Wu Hou for his opinion. After all, 10 million essences was not a small amount. If he fell into someone else's trap and was fooled, half of Wu Hou's mansion's assets would be consumed.
After careful consideration, Wu Hou decided to take a gamble and ordered the man in black armor to increase the amount to 10 million.
With a creaky sound, the door of private room number one was suddenly opened, and a girl in white clothes, about fourteen or fifteen, walked in with light lotus steps.
"Junior Sister Ye Xue, you're back!" Gou Yaolong turned around and looked at the girl, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "You've been out for so long, how did you get through?"
"Hehe, a small gain."
The girl named Ye Xue smiled sweetly, responded, closed the door, walked to the chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and placed it next to her red lips, took a sip, and then simply and quickly recounted what she had found out.
It turned out that Ye Xue was not there before because she went to inquire about the situation of the major sects.
"Wutian? Haha, quite interesting," Gou Yaolong raised the corner of his mouth with a playful smile.
"Should we continue the competition?"
Although Ye Xue is still a girl, her breasts are already quite accomplished. With her beautiful face and slender figure, she already possesses the charm of an adult woman, which exudes all the time.
After a short silence, Gou Yaolong shook his head and said in a strong tone: "No need. We have to go to the Jueyin ruins anyway, so we are bound to meet. It won't be too late to rob it by force then."
"In this way, you can get the Nine Palaces Killing Skill without using any essence. Senior Brother Yaolong, you are really good at planning," Ye Xue said with a smile.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from private room number one, and Wutan's brows gradually frowned.
Wu Hou was competing out of revenge, and his purpose was obvious, he just wanted to make him lose more essence. However, according to the current price, Wu Tian didn't take it to heart.
However, Gou Yaolong is different. He is a genius in prohibitions and also the deputy leader of the Forbidden Sect. Both publicly and privately, he has no reason to give up halfway and abandon the bidding.
Wutan's eyes flickered as he looked at the two private rooms but did not bid immediately. On the one hand, he wanted to confirm whether Gou Yaolong had really given up, and on the other hand, he was playing a psychological warfare with Wu Hou.
Because once he bids first, Wu Hou will definitely think that he is determined to win it and will continue to interfere.
Although he didn't care about that little bit of essence, he couldn't just waste it.
Therefore, he had to drag it out until Wu Hou became nervous, until Wu Hou thought that he could shoot or not shoot, and then he would not dare to continue competing.
For a moment, the place fell silent, and Wu Hou's expression gradually became gloomy.
Could it be that Jin Zong in Private Room No. 1 and Wu Tian in Private Room No. 10 are both ready to give up the bidding
If that was the case, wouldn't he have taken the Nine Palaces Absolute Kill? He wasn't a forbidden master, and none of the disciples in the clan were either, so what was the point of him taking it
After waiting for a while, there was still no sound. Wu Hou's heart sank to the bottom. His face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were blazing, and his fists were clenched tightly, making a crackling sound.
There was even an astonishing aura that gradually emanated from his body. The man in black armor next to him trembled and hurriedly took a few steps back, because he knew that Wu Hou was on the verge of a rage.
On the platform, the old man was still smiling. The price was so high, how could he not be happy!
The old man coughed, his smile faded, he looked around and said, "Ten million essences for the first time!"
Shan Youde said anxiously: "Wutian, why don't you shoot? If you don't speak up, the Jiugong Killing Move will be taken away by Wu Hou."
Wu Tian did not answer, but just shook his head.
Shan Youde was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "If you don't want it, then why did you keep bidding?"
Zhang Ting rubbed his forehead and said weakly: "You fat pig, you fat pig, you can't even see this. What on earth is in your head? I really want to open it and take a look."
"You know, just tell me!"
“Haha, Wutan is playing a psychological warfare with Wu Hou,” Di Tian said with a smile at this time.
"Psychological warfare?"
Shan Youde's face was full of fat, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "So Wu Tian did this on purpose! He didn't want to give up the Nine Palaces Killing Technique, but to defeat Wu Hou completely from the heart, so that he won't continue to make trouble!"
"I understand now that you are such a pig-brained person. Alas, I feel so sorry for myself to be called one of the Ten Greatest Shuras with you," Zhang Ting rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Ten million essences for the second time!" The old man's voice sounded again.
The old man's words were like an iron hammer, hitting Wu Hou's heart hard and shattering the last glimmer of hope in his heart. If Wu Tian wanted the Nine Palaces Killing Skill, he should have made an offer long ago.
In other words, since no one has made an offer until now, he must have given up. Maybe the other party has been playing tricks on him all along and did not really want the Nine Palaces Killing.
He hated it! Why didn't he just hold back and continue to raise the price? It was a simple sentence, but it put Wuhou Mansion into an irreparable situation.
Ten million essences are comparable to the assets of Wuhou Mansion. If it is really lost, Wuhou Mansion will be seriously damaged and may even fall overnight.
People are realistic. No matter how glorious and great you may have been in the past, once you fall and there are not enough resources, who will be willing to work for you
The other marquisates in Fengyang City will also take advantage of the situation and take its place.
Wu Hou was very clear about this. The prosperous Fengyang City was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. In fact, it was full of turbulent waves!
Seeing that he was about to destroy the family business he had worked so hard to build with his own hands, this feeling was worse than death! Wu Hou was desperate, and collapsed on the chair powerlessly, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
The old man glanced around again and saw that no one was bidding anymore, so he announced the winner of the Nine Palaces Kill.
"Ten million and one thousand Essence Yuan!" At this moment, Wutan finally spoke. Originally, he only wanted to add one more Essence Yuan, but every time he raised the price, the minimum was one thousand.
In fact, he did this with a purpose. Adding only one thousand essence would make Wu Hou think that this was his last bid. If he continued, he would really give up.
As for Gou Yaolong, he hadn't made any movement at this moment, and it seemed that he had really given up. As for the reason, he didn't know and he wasn't in the mood to think about it.
"Huh? He's still raising the price. Could it be that he was just acting? But that's not right. Before, he raised the price by 500,000 or 1 million, but this time he only raised it by 1,000. Does he really want the Nine Palaces Killer or is he teasing us on purpose?"
The man in black armor was stunned and confused. When he walked forward, he found that the marquis's eyes were distracted, as if he didn't hear the other party's voice and was indifferent.
He moved his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, the man in black armor chose to step aside and remain silent, because he couldn't understand what Wutan was thinking.
“It is better to attack the heart than to attack the person. It is hard to guess what is true and what is false. Wutan is not a simple person!” Gou Yaolong leaned on the chair, tapping the armrest lightly with his fingers, looking at private room number ten, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
"Haha, I guess Wu Hou hasn't come to his senses yet!" Ye Xue shook his head and laughed with a sarcastic tone.
"Wu Hou is at least in the God Transformation Stage, but he actually did something so childish. Now that he failed to steal the chicken, he made himself so embarrassed. He is really a bit old and confused."
As one of the three top sects in Zhongyaozhou, what happened outside the city a few days ago could naturally not be hidden from them, so Gou Yaolong knew the grudge between Wu Hou and Shura Palace like the back of his hand.
"In fact, Wu Hou was also helpless. His only two sons were killed, but due to the strength of Shura Palace and Ice Valley, he dared not seek revenge openly. He had to retreat and retaliate secretly. But he didn't expect that the other party was not stupid, but very smart, which led to such a situation."
At this point, Ye Xue paused and asked doubtfully: "Are Shura Palace and Ice Valley really that strong?"
Gou Yaolong said calmly: "Whether he is strong or not, you will know in the future."
At the same time, people in the private room where Zhao Qing was were discussing the same topic.
Yan Ning said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, Wutan's scheming is probably not inferior to yours."
Zhao Qing poked his nose and said: "It's not that Wu Tian is scheming and cunning, but Wu Hou is brave but not wise. He is already old, but he actually plays this kind of trick. He is really asking for trouble."
"No matter what, we have to be careful when facing Wu Tian, so as not to make a mistake that will bring eternal regret."
Not only in the private rooms of Zhao Qing and Gou Yaolong, but in the other private rooms, there was a lot of discussion. In particular, the major sects that wanted to enter the Jueyin ruins all listed Wutan as a key target of attention.
There was silence at the scene, and no one made any more bids. Wu Hou remained silent until the old man banged the table in front of him with a gavel and announced the result. Only then was he awakened.
When hearing this unexpected result, Wu Hou was stunned again.
What was going on? Didn't I take the Nine Palaces Forbidden Talisman? But why was the winner announced to be VIP Room No. 10
It was not until the man in black armor came forward and explained the situation that Wu Hou suddenly realized that such a thing had happened while he was in a trance.
Immediately, he became furious, stood up, and slapped the man in black armor hard. With a "snap", a mouthful of blood and a few teeth spurted out. The man in black armor was directly blown away and hit the wall, spitting out blood again.
Wu Hou looked at the black-armored man lying on the ground and said angrily, "Damn it, why didn't you wake me up earlier!"
