Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 935 Bid War

Everyone in the hall seemed to hold their breath and even subconsciously channeled their profound energy to protect themselves against the terrifying killing intent.

This killing intent gave them suffocation, as though they were being stared at by a starving beast and were delicious prey.

Wu Qingcheng took a deep breath to calm herself down and said. "Similar to the previous artifacts, this sword was found in the Golden Mountain Ruin three years ago. The seller used various means to suppress its bloodthirsty aura, but as everyone can see, it was almost impossible to do."

"For the safety sake, we will put it in a formation first." Wu Qingcheng said and waved her hand, activating a protective formation around the ancient sword.

The killing intent immediately lessened by several degrees, though it could still make people with low profound strength suffocating.

"The starting price is ten million of the high-grade Profound Stones. At least one hundred thousand per bid. You can start now." Wu Qingcheng said and glanced toward Yun Lintian's room.

"What a terrifying sword." Xing Renshu's brows raised slightly. He turned to Weilan Tian and asked. "How is it, Brother Tian?"

Weilan Tian had a rare serious expression for the first time since he came here. His gaze was glued to the rusty sword without blinking. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to discover something within it.

On the side, Jian Feng was no different. As a sword practitioner, his perception of a sword was far better than anybody here. This sword must have been used to slay divine beings before, as he could see residual divine energy lingering around its blade.

Such a peerless sword could definitely allow his path of swordsmanship to go further.

Jian Feng didn't think about it further. He immediately raised. "Eleven million."

Xing Renshu glanced at Jian Feng and asked with a smile. "Have you found something, Brother Jian?"

Jian Feng gave the nod in reply and offered no explanation.

Xing Rengshu wasn't angry. He turned to Weilan Tian and asked. "Are you going to bid for it, Brother Tian?"

Weilan Tian retracted his gaze and leaned back slightly before saying. "Fifteen million."

A sly smile appeared on Xing Renshu's face as he glanced at Yun Lintian's room. "Let's see if he dares to grab something from Brother Tian."

As Xing Renshu's voice fell, he suddenly heard Yun Lintian's voice. "Thirty million."

The crowd's mind went blank upon hearing this. Yun Lintian actually dared to confront Weilan Tian and still had so much money after spending like it was dirt previously. They thought they had already overestimated his courage and wealth, but it seemed they were still underestimating him greatly.

In Yun Lintian's room, everyone except Yun Qianxue and Mu Qiuxue looked at him in shock. Especially Yuan Long's group. Yun Lintian's performance up until now had blown their mind one after another to the point their mind grew numb already.

"Did you see anything?" Shen Liqiu asked curiously.

"Compared to other previous artifacts, this one is an entirely different level. One thing that I am sure of is this word doesn't belong to this world." Yun Lintian replied calmly.

Asides from its high quality, his intuition told him there was something inside the sword more than what he saw through the Eyes of Heaven. Hence, he didn't want to let it go.

"There he goes." Xing Renshu fanned the wooden fan gently while leaning back, looking forward to seeing a good show.

Weilan Tian didn't even frown. He raised the bid directly. "Forty million."

"Forty-five million." Jian Feng followed.

"One hundred million." Yun Lintian continued.

A frown appeared between Weilan Tian's brows for the first time. He thought for a moment and said. "Two hundred million."

On the side, Jian Feng shook his head regretfully upon hearing this. Even if he wanted to continue, his wallet wasn't allowed to do it. He could only sigh and give up.

"Three hundred million." Yun Lintian raised without hesitation.

This time, Weilan Tian immediately went silent. Obviously, he had reached his limit.

Wu Qingcheng smiled from ear to ear. He didn't expect to sell this sword at this sky-high price.

Before she was about to make a conclusion, Xing Renshu suddenly said. "This friend, can you give Brother Tian's face and give up on this sword?"

His words instantly attracted everyone's attention. They were subconsciously looking at Yun Lintian's room, waiting to see how he would respond.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous, Young Master Xing? Young Master Weilan didn't even speak, yet who are you to tell me to give him face?… Are you perhaps trying to sow discord between us?" Yun Lintian responded with a chuckle.

A strange light flashed through Xing Renshu's eyes as he spoke. "My apologies then."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They thought Xing Renshu would continue to make things bigger, but he actually gave up instead.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He wasn't afraid of a scheming opponent, but the opponent who knew how to stretch and bend was several times terrifying. And this Xing Renshu seemed to be one.

Look like I have to be more cautious against him in the future. Thought Yun Lintian.

He thought for a moment and said. "Of course, if Young Master Weilan and Young Master Jian want to unravel the mystery of the sword, we can work together after this."

Hearing this, Jian Feng cupped his fists toward Yun Lintian's room and said. "Many thanks, Young Master Lin."

Du Huanfeng, Lei Jun, and Xing Renshu glanced at Weilan Tian, waiting for his response. After all, they knew very well how prideful Weilan Tian was. It was unlikely he would accept Yun Lintian's invitation.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Weilan Tian replied. "Thank you, Young Master Lin. I would like to work with you."

Xing Renshu's eyes narrowed slightly. His mind spun rapidly for a while before he said. "Can I have this honor, Young Master Lin?"

"Sure. Young Master Du and Young Master Lei can come as well." Yun Lintian replied readily, making Yuan Long and the others confused… Why would he spend so much money but end up inviting all the "enemies" to see it?

Wu Qingcheng found an opportunity to conclude the bid. "Congratulations to Mister Lin. We can provide an appraisal room for you if you want it. Of course, it's free."

"I'll trouble Miss Wu then." Yun Lintian replied and got up, walking out of the room with everyone.
