Chapter 1545 - Reveals
The nine powerhouses appeared taken aback by Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s sudden action before they became stunned by his statement.
He was willing to destroy it, but for that, one of them has to buy it?
They looked at the Illusory Yantra King Bell and confirmed that it appeared similar to what they heard. However, their expressions didn’t look good as they imperceptibly avoided gazes.
"What? No one is willing to pay up for this treasure?"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim appeared confused.
"I’m more or less agreeable to accept the lowest rate possible in the market for this illusion artifact tinged with karmic luck. Does no one want to buy it?"
"..."
His question didn’t garner an answer even after a few seconds had passed.
The nine powerhouses only looked at each other. The Ancestors of Twilight Physician Hall and Vital Tempering Sect also appeared the same, looking as if they were waiting for someone to step up.
Sect Master Bing Luli turned to look at them, narrowing her eyes.
"Why are all of you tongue-tied now? Does no one want to pay for a treasure that’s going to prove your theory?"
"Perhaps, are you all afraid that your wealth is going to be wasted because the bell is going to be destroyed anyway? As I said, you don’t have to mind that because with this, you can prove that Ancestor Dian Alstreim is controlling Ancestor Tirea Snow. Then, you can recoup all your losses as it is proved that Ancestor Tirea Snow is indeed being controlled and the marriage becomes unjust. Isn’t that right, Ancestor Dian Alstreim?"
"You’re exactly right, Sect Master Bing Luli." Ancestor Dian Alstreim amicably smiled, "The Illusory Yantra King Bell is a hateful treasure that targeted my family, but if someone is willing to pay for it to take it off my hands, I would be more than happy and willing to destroy it with my flames. Well, if they want to destroy it, I’ll gladly give the honors to them..."
Everyone’s expression twitched as they heard him speak nonchalantly.
Buying the Illusory Yantra King Bell?
What kind of treasure was this!?
It might just be a High-Level Emperor Grade Treasure that costs around a million Peak-Level Spirit Stones and above, but the karmic aura emanating from it made it appear near to a high or top-quality High-Level Emperor Grade Treasure, and the cost of such a treasure amounted to as much a billion Peak-Level Spirit Stones max!
In terms of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, that is comparable to a hundred thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments!
The reason why the Illusory Yantra King Bell was so expensive compared to its predecessors persisted in the fact that the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Treasures consisting of prowess at the High-Level Ninth Stage and Peak-Level Ninth Stage were seldom made or found in the wilderness and hence, inflated.
Their cost was manifold their raw material costs, making it simply unpurchasable for a small or growing High-Level Emperor Grade Power.
Who in their right mind would purchase such a weapon that is going to be destroyed!?
Of course, the karmic aura in the Illusory Yantra King Bell would fade if the Yantra Family Powerhouses and Experts stopped nurturing it with their blood, but the fading-out would still take thousands of years for that to happen.
That’s why its value cannot be decreased further.
Even after a while, no one uttered a word, not even talks about pooling resources together, although they did seem to be conversing with soul transmissions.
"So much for the sort of love you were all talking about..."
Sect Master Bing Luli sneered before she turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim.
"Looks like their story is fake..."
"Of course not!"
"Allow me to help~"
Sect Master Bing Luli stood beside Ancestor Tirea Snow, causing the latter to nod gratefully. The former merely smiled and didn’t say anything.
Just when the eleven powerhouses thought that the odds were now slightly in the Alstreim Family’s favor along with Beauty Snow’s declaration, another voice echoed.
*Bzzz!~*
"People seem to have forgotten me, no?"
Malus Claw undulated his terrifying Mid-Level Ninth Stage prowess, causing the powerhouses in his own group to suck in a cold breath as they became shrouded in his oppressive undulations.
It was extremely strong, almost giving them heart palpitations.
They were aware that they were already in the wrong, so they just wanted something, a reason to twist the narrative. As they looked for that and searched for it in their minds, another voice echoed.
"Sigh, men... This is why you don’t go sticking your nose into their business, Luli’er."
Ancestor Xia Yun raised her hands from her beautiful snowy-blue sleeves.
The atmosphere chilled despite the blazing waves of undulations rocking the Alstreim Family at this moment, causing the area to become dead calm.
In the Grand Wedding Hall, almost everyone was still watching with their mouths agape.
One of them couldn’t help but utter.
"An- Another Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse...!?"
Sect Master Bing Luli smirked.
Ancestor Xia Yun had just broken through to Mid-Level Law Rune Stage two weeks ago. Sect Master Bing Luli did indeed hear rumors, but Ancestor Xia Yun was always cool, not overly excited or bragging about it.
Malus Claw’s expression became disordered as he saw Ancestor Xia Yun’s undulations. The others were also all fairly shocked to see her not only regain her vitality but also become more powerful.
Was she concealing her cultivation with a sealing talisman!?
"..."
Malus Claw strengthened his output of undulations again, wanting to become intimidating enough. His brute strength climbed as it tried to overpower Ancestor Xia Yun’s undulations. The others also began to ripple their undulations, causing one to be filled in a vortex of daunting intimidation. They were also aware of any kind of killing formations that might be set up in this place.
Only Ancestor Krane Parazen and the Four Dragon Families’ powerhouses remained neutral, having already moved out of the Alstreim Family’s encirclement.
While the numerous waves of undulations were surging like a tsunami, appearing as if it engulfed the central area of the Grand Alstreim City, Ancestor Dian Alstreim took a step forward and abruptly appeared in front of Gong Kim-Il before his arm swung in a beautiful arc.
*Paaah!~*
Gong Kim-Il’s head swiveled to the right as he felt a resounding impact to his left cheek! He placed his hand on his left cheek to confirm if he was hit before turning and seeing the man who hit him.
"You’re no longer invited. Take your people and scram out of my Alstreim Family, Vital Tempering Sect."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly uttered.
Ancestor Gong Kim-Il looked absolutely dumbfounded. A burning sensation remained on his cheeks, his expression trembling as he looked at the raging flames emboldening the silhouette of the person reflected in his pupils.
"..."
While everyone was shocked, Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki, who was about to step in to save his fellow Ancestor, also stopped with a face full of disbelief.
These undulations from Dian Alstreim... They were...
"Mi- Mid-Level Law Rune Stage!?"
He screamed, looking at Ancestor Dian Alstreim as his calm expression turned unsightly.
