There were exclamations one after another, people in the hall stood up one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became chaotic. The man in black behind Ximen Qing suddenly soared into the sky, facing the evil emperor with a sullen face, aiming at the golden box that he had sucked in his palm.
The noise of the wind caused the Evil Emperor to look one way, and he swung his other hand out... Hearing a muffled sound, the middle-aged man's body seemed to hit something transparent in mid-air, and fell straight down. When he fell to the ground, his body rolled backwards several times, and then he did not move. In a moment, a thick layer of ice formed in the eyes that opened wide suddenly, and it became thicker and thicker until it covered his body. The whole body is completely frozen in it.
Ximen Qing was terrified, he was lucky, and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet, everyone!!"
Ximen Qing's loud roar shook people's ears, completely suppressing other voices, and the effect gradually appeared, and the noisy hall immediately became quiet. But the eyes still stay on the evil emperor, or use the corners of the eyes to swipe at the living person who has been frozen into an ice sculpture, no matter how hard he can't hide the shock in his heart.
The evil emperor appeared and snatched the golden casket without any fear in front of everyone, but apart from being flustered, none of them dared to go forward to snatch it. Since the Evil Emperor defeated the three masters of the Northern Emperor Sect independently, his reputation for terror and power has also been magnified countless times. Four séances... not to mention four, just one, enough to turn all the people here into ice sculptures.
"Evil Emperor, I have admired your great name for a long time. When I come to my Ximen today, it really makes my Ximen family flourish. If you don't dislike it, can you sit down and have a chat?" Ximen Qing said with his head raised, his tone was very sincere. There is no trace of affectation.
The evil emperor twitched his lips, and said in a deep voice: "No need, this emperor is only here to get something he wants."
"What the evil emperor said was the iron sword left by the emperor of the Tianlong kingdom?" Ximen Qing asked.
"Hmph!" The evil emperor snorted coldly with disdain: "Ask knowingly... very good, your Ximen family has done a good job, if there is really a treasure map in it, this emperor will remember your names, maybe someday you will come back Give you a reward."
The Evil Emperor's demeanor, tone, and deeds are all a kind of arrogance as if the emperor is in the world, and he doesn't pay attention to anyone here at all. In his voice, there is even more contempt and disdain for Ximen's family. But none of the people present had a fit... because he is an evil emperor and has the absolute qualifications to be arrogant. Who dares to show disobedience in front of him, there is no doubt that there is only one ending.
"Heh... Since today is an auction, I can't break the rules. Tell me, how much reserve price do you want, I want to see who can offer a higher price than me!"
The evil emperor's gaze swept across the audience, and everyone who touched his gaze felt cold all over, and their hearts twitched violently. The evil emperor's words clearly smacked of threats, and the tone of the words was obviously... I see who dares to call out a higher price than this emperor!
There was a mixture of horror and fear in their hearts, but still no one dared to attack, and they didn't even dare to take a breath, lest they would attract the attention of this evil star living Hades.
"This..." As long as Ximen Qing is not a fool, he should know what to do. He didn't dare to think about it, and said quickly: "The rumors about the treasure map hidden in the iron sword are rumors after all, maybe they are false, so The price was originally set not high, but... a hundred taels of silver."
When he said "one hundred taels of silver", Ximen Qing was already sweating all over his body, and secretly looked at the expression of the evil emperor with the sidelight of his eyes, for fear that the price he quoted was still too high, and the evil emperor did not bring any So much silver.
Attracting the attention of the world, the treasure map that hides the treasures of the enemy is only a reserve price of one hundred taels of silver... But in this situation, no one can laugh, and no one dares to say anything.
"One hundred taels? Very good," the evil emperor nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied with Ximen Qing's price: "Then the emperor will pay one hundred and one taels."
Ximen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the offer made by the Evil Emperor made everyone in the hall look more and more awkward, but they all remained silent.
"One hundred and one taels, and... is there any friend who is willing to pay a higher price than this, if not, this iron sword will belong to the evil emperor." Ximen Qing secretly wiped his cold sweat and forced himself to be calm shouted. And what he said is completely nonsense, the evil emperor's intentions are too obvious, and the golden box is already in the hands of the evil emperor, there may be no one in the world who is capable of snatching it away, even if he can pay a higher price so what? Unless it is impatient to live.
"Once... twice... three times!" Almost shouting together, Ximen Qing's whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness: "Okay! Today's last treasure has also been photographed, and it belongs to the noble emperor of the evil sect, Xiedi. !!"
Deathly silence... The auction ended with such a result, and so did the ownership of the treasure map. But at this time, no one left first, and they dared not move as if they had been immobilized. The reputation and aura of the evil emperor created an extremely terrifying atmosphere. If they had a knife across their necks, if they moved a little, their throats might be cut and their lives might be injured.
The evil emperor's body slowly descended from the air and landed in front of Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing, who had always been calm and steady, took a step back subconsciously. The evil emperor's eyes were half-closed, he didn't know what expression was on his face covered by the silver mask, and he threw out an old banknote and a bit of broken silver. Ximen Qing quickly reached out to catch it... no more, no less, exactly one hundred and one taels. Holding the one hundred and one taels of silver, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The evil emperor put his hand on the golden box and said: "Very good... But, the emperor must first confirm whether this iron sword has been touched by your Ximen family."
"No, no, absolutely not. When I got this sword, my father had a strict order that no one is allowed to spread the news, let alone damage the sword." Ximen Kuang quickly waved his hand and explained.
"This emperor never trusts anyone. It's okay, this emperor will confirm it now. Since they are all here for this treasure map, this emperor will let you see what this treasure map looks like."
A hand wearing a silver glove swiped suddenly, and with the ear-piercing screeching that overlapped together, all ten golden locks were broken, and this hand of the evil emperor immediately made people take another breath of air. This is not a wooden box or an iron box, but a box made of pure gold, which was easily destroyed like tofu in the hands of the evil emperor.
With a push of the Evil Emperor's hand, the golden cover was pushed away and fell to the ground...
The evil emperor's hand stopped there, and suddenly there was no movement or sound. Although his face could not be seen, his eyes turned cold in an instant, very cold, very cold, terrifyingly cold, and the heavy atmosphere , also suddenly became heavier in the biting cold, and the people who were directly pressed could not breathe.
Being the closest to the evil emperor, Ximen Qing felt the change in the atmosphere most vividly. He felt a sudden in his heart, raised his head tremblingly, and then his face changed drastically.
The golden box was actually empty! The rusty iron sword had disappeared.
The evil emperor turned his head slowly, looked at Ximen Qing who was already pale and speechless, his voice was gloomy as if it came from the gloomy hell: "Okay... very good, what a Ximen Qing, what a Ximen family! !"
"Wait... This... No... It was still in there last night, why did it disappear... Yes, maybe my father took it for temporary use, I will ask my father right away..."
Ximen Qing's trembling voice caused those people who didn't know why to change their faces suddenly. The box turned out to be empty, no wonder the Evil Emperor's aura suddenly became so eerie.
Why would it be empty? Was it stolen? Or, is it really the Ximen family playing tricks? If it is the former, who can steal this thing that must be kept in an extremely secret place and locked by so many golden locks without disturbing anyone in the heavily guarded Ximen's house? If it is the latter... the latter is really possible ? The Ximen family are not fools, if they really use an empty box to fool the world, they are undoubtedly digging their own grave, they absolutely cannot do so.
"No... must..."
Just as Ximen Qing turned around hastily, the incomparably deep voice made him shiver fiercely. Then, his neck became cold and tightened, and a big cold hand was already locked on his neck, tightening a little bit in his constantly widening pupils, and then locked his throat, wrapping his whole body The person lifted it up without any hesitation.
"… you you… "
Ximen Qing's mouth was wide open, and a vague voice was squeezed out of his throat with difficulty. The strong sense of suffocation was quickly depriving him of consciousness. What he looked at was a pair of eyes that contained biting coldness.
No one in the hall dared to make a sound. The iron-like hands were obviously locked on Ximen Qing's throat, but everyone felt as if they were pinching their necks, and their hearts throbbed violently with fear.
"You actually lied to this emperor... you... want... to die!!"
"..." Ximen Qing tried his best with both hands, trying to push the evil emperor's hand away, but his strength was like a dragonfly shaking a tree, and he couldn't move his fingers at all. Gradually, he was unable to make a sound. Vision became more and more blurred, and even the strength of struggle became weaker and weaker.
"Humph!"
With a heavy cold snort that contained vicious anger, Ximen Qing, who was almost dying, was thrown to the ground by the evil emperor. Ximen Qing lay prone on the ground, clutching his throat and coughing dryly in pain, breathing air desperately.
The evil emperor's eyes swept across the hall, and the cold voice came to everyone's ears word by word, and then spilled out of the hall to the ears of everyone in Ximen's family: "This emperor doesn't want to kill indiscriminately. Those who killed... I will give you outsiders one minute to escape, and after one minute, all the people who are still in Ximen's family, no matter who they are, will all... die without a whole body!!"
The body of the evil emperor soared into the air, passed through the roof and disappeared from people's sight. As if the nightmare had been driven away, everyone in the hall took a long breath, then turned and left without hesitation. On the stage, only Ximen Qing, who was still coughing in pain, and Pan Jinlian, who was slumped on the ground behind the curtain on the right, couldn't even make a sound.
With the power of the evil sect and the power of the evil emperor, it is really easy to destroy a family of magic and martial arts. The Baili and Huangfu families of Dafeng Kingdom are the best examples. The purpose of the Ximen family's auction this time is to sell some potential sources of disaster. Who would have thought that this would lead to a catastrophe for the Ximen family.
At the same time, where did the iron sword go? Why is it missing!
