Chapter 407 The Auction

The night had come. The sky had started to get dark. There were a lot of stars in the sky. Some of them were so bright, people could see them clearly, while some were hidden by clouds.

The moon shone brightly in the middle of the sky. The moonlight allowed people to see everything within its range very vividly.

The auction held by the Tien Nan trade association was about to begin.

The auction would be held on the fifth floor of the Tien Nan trade association building. Attendees needed an invitation card, or they could not get in even with a great deal of money to spare.

In the spacious room on the fifth floor, there were people sitting on a long wooden bench. There were a great many of these benches that formed numerous rows. There were many people sitting in each row.

It was undoubtedly the location of the auction. Also, the auction had begun.

The five authorities of the city were sitting in the front row of wooden benches. They were from the governor's official residence, the Violet Stars trade association, the Song family, the Lei family, and the Blazing Flames sect.

There were also other people with them. These were none other than Tien Wen and the old man Foo Kong.

Since they were from the Dawn sect in Yue Lun city, they were equivalent to the six authorities here and had the right to sit with them.

Tien Wen’s facial expression was full of excitement. He hoped that the goods the association would be auctioning off would be prime goods.

“I heard that the Tien Nan trade association will have a high-grade pill up on the block,” a middle-aged man with a stoic face named Wang Jong said. He was from the governor’s official residence.

“It has to be ours,” another middle-aged man beside him said. His name was Wang Tao, and he was also from the residence.

“If the rumour is true, do you really think it’s going to be yours?” A voice sounded. It was an old man with completely white hair.

Wang Jong and Wang Tao turned to look at the old man who had just spoken immediately.

“Zi Tie, if we don’t get it, do you think you of the Violet Stars trade association would be able to?” Wang Jong asked coldly.

Wang Tao nodded. “That’s right. You have the nerve to come here, even though you’re also one of the biggest trade associations in town. It seems you don’t have any high-grade pills with you, do you?”

“You!” The old man called Zi Tie felt angry at the Wangs’ words.

“You what? Do you want to fight?” Wang Jong spoke coldly. He was not afraid of Zi Tie at all, even though he was from the Violet Stars trade association.

“That’s enough. Where do you think you are?” a man in his thirties said. He did not seem to be pleased with the quarrel.

Hearing the voice that sounded, Wang Jong, Wang Tao, and Zi Tie turned to its source.

“Song Heng, who do you think you are?” Wang Tao scowled.

His name was Song Heng. He was from the Song family. He smiled at Wang Tao.

“Ah…I don’t know what I am. All I know is you’re a bastard!”

“Do you want to die?” Wang Tao’s face immediately grew dark and ugly. He tightened his fists. His stared at Song Heng with an intent to kill.

“Please stop. Don’t quarrel with each other. The auction is starting and those who offer the highest price will get the goods.”

A low voice sounded. He was a big man with a rough face.

“That’s right. Don’t get upset with each other.” Another man added. He was a thin man in crimson red.

“Lei Ba…Hua Lang.”

The four of them knew right away who those two were. They were also the authorities. Lei Ba was from the Lei family and Hua Lang was from the Blazing Flames sect.

“If so, then whatever,” Wang Jong said before losing interest.

The others also did the same. They stopped quarrelling. They simply kept their anger inside.

At that moment, the female host of the auction, who was dressed in yellow, walked up onto the stage in front of everyone. She was beautiful and alluring with a perfect figure.

“I would like to express my gratitude to every honourable guest who has come to the Tien Nan trade association’s auction tonight. My name is Tien Ying. Please allow me to announce the beginning of the auction now,” she said with a melodious voice. She smiled beautifully.

Hearing that, it was obvious that her name was Tien Ying.

After what she said, many people started to murmur with excitement.

They were all very excited for the auction. All of them wanted to take something valuable home.

“Without further ado, shall we take a look at the first item for tonight?” Tien Ying smiled. A middle-aged man walked onto the stage with a cart that was covered with a cloth.

At that moment, every heart in the hall raced fast. They all wanted to know what priceless item was going to be auctioned off.

Tien Ying took the cloth off, revealing what was on the cart. It was a beautiful sword.

“This is a sparkling sky sword, a medium-grade weapon. We’ll start at 10,000 gold coins!” Tien Ying announced with a smile.

“A medium-grade weapon. I want it!” A fat man suddenly shouted.

He was an earth solid realm cultivator, yet he did not have any medium-grade weapons with him. He felt weak due to this. That was why he wanted the sword.

“This Wong Su will take it!” Another voice sounded loudly.

Unexpectedly, he was the man whom Bai Chen had met at the hundred-beast forest months ago when he was there to eradicate the flaming tiger, the king of the forest.

“Fifteen thousand gold coins.” Wang Tao offered this price, ignoring everyone.

Even though he already had a medium-grade weapon with him, he did not want the sparkling sky sword to be anyone else’s. That was why he wanted it.

“Sixteen thousand gold coins.” Song Heng smiled and also offered a price.
