Chapter 332: Golden Beast Claw

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Han Wuxin actually had ill intentions about Little White was well. He was not alone. The entire Han Family wanted it. After all, Little White was smart and it could become a Beast King. This kind of beast could only appear once in a lifetime even at the Central Plains.

That being said, Lu Li’s shouts at the Mystic Fire City stopped the Han Family from doing anything. Big Families valued their reputation very much. To make a move against their helper was taboo. The Han Family would be frowned upon by the world if they really took Little White away from Lu Li.

What was more, Lu Li had saved Han Yue. With Han Yue, the Han Family could rise up again. Right now, they must remain stable. Once their reputation was mired, they could be destroyed by several other families to stop the Han Family from rising up.

Lu Li said that he was a distant-related disciple of the Lu Family which made Han Wuxin more afraid to do anything against Lu Li. Now Lu Li was saying that he was a disciple of the immediate Lu Family. He didn’t have any proof, but what if he was telling the truth?

Even the seventh-rank force, Pavilion of Green Water, could be destroyed once the Lu Family knew that a disciple of their immediate Family was killed, let alone the Han Family.

A disciple of the Lu Family, a young man that had a king-like beast, a freak that could leave the Wicked Sorcery Mountain, Lu Li was a man with too many mysteries and surprises. This kind of man would rise up for sure when he got back to the Lu Family. Once Lu Li could have some authority, the Han Family would be guaranteed an ally. The Han Family was almost certain that they could become a seventh-rank Family in the future, not to mention that they had Han Yue now.

Han Wuxin was the young Family Patriarch of the Han Family, Patriarch of the Hall of Combats and the future formal Family Patriarch. What he said was basically what the Han Family would decide.

Lu Li put his mind at ease. He went back to the private room with Han Wuxin. The auction had started and two pieces of treasures had been sold.

Lu Li didn’t fancy the treasures so much. He had enough inside the Coffin of the Dragon King, but it was just that he could not get it open right now. Also, his realm was low. Even powerful treasures wouldn’t do him much good right now.

Han Wuxin cordially invited Lu Li to bid on something and encouraged Han Yue to make a bid as well. Han Yue was in high spirits. She bought several treasures but they were cheap, only worth tens of millions of Xuan Crystals.

The auction here was much better than those at the Heaven Prison City. Lu Li saw that people would bid on more than 100 Heaven Serpent Fruits in one go and the other auction items would be worth about more than tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of Xuan Crystals. There were rarely anything only worth millions of Xuan Crystals.

Lu Li finally made a bid since Han Wuxin was so sincere. Lu Li wanted a Mystical Grass, good for the soul. It was just something he needed.

But it was not particularly expensive. The final offer was 80 million Xuan Crystals. The Han Family would return Lu Li’s favor but they wouldn’t cost much.

What was auction next dazzled Lu Li. All of them were treasures Lu Li had never heard of. Han Wuxin invited Lu Li to bid for something else but Lu Li refused. Han Wuxin knew what Lu Li was thinking so he didn’t insist.

Han Wuxin was in a very good mood. He bought a pretty top level armor at the cost of 700 million Xuan Crystals and gave it to Han Yue. Han Yue was so happy that she almost cried. She had never had a father growing up and now the gap was closed.

“Lord Xin.”

An escort suddenly walked in and whispered to Han Wuxin, “Lord Song He invites you to go over to him.”

Lu Li smiled while Yu Huashen and Ming Yu. Song He was here to make an offer.

Han Wuxin looked at Lu Li, smiled and said, “Go back and tell Brother Song He that I am with Young Master Lu Li now and I will go and apologize to him later.”

“Eh?”

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu’s eyes glowed. Han Wuxin was making it clear that he was going to protect Lu Li. He had said Lu Li’s name directly, which meant that he had known everything. Also, it was a strong signal that he was not going to meet Song He.

Lu Li was relieved when the escort left. Even though the Han Family was not as powerful as the Song Family, they were at the same level nonetheless and they were affiliated with the same force. Theoretically speaking, the Song Family should stop their actions now, unless they wanted to fight the Han Family.

The escort came back after a while and brought back Song He’s words. He wanted to whisper it to Han Wuxin but the latter waved his hand and said, “Young Master Lu and these two are my friends. We don’t hide information from each other. Just say it.”

The escort said frankly, “Lord Song He said that Young Master Lu… has killed people of the Song Family. If Lord Xin is going to protect Young Master Lu, your relationship will be influenced.”

“Ha, ha, ha~”

Han Wuxin laughed and mockingly said, “Go back and tell Song He that Young Master Lu is my daughter’s savior and my friend. There is nothing else to be said. Come back immediately afterwards.”

Han Wuxin had made a clear statement. He would take Lu Li’s side even if it meant displeasing the Song Family. Lu Li cupped his fists to Han Wuxin gratefully. Han Wuxin returned with a smile, not worrying about it one bit.

The escorts came back after he passed the words on. The auction was still going on and it was close to the finale now. The last few pieces were being bid on.

Lu Li, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu felt quite at ease. They could go to the Mystic Armor Region after they went back to the Mystic Fire City when the auction was over.

The last few pieces were rare treasures. There was even a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact, which price had been raised to five billion Xuan Crystals, shocking Lu Li.

“Alright, then we have the last but one piece.”

The beautiful hostess of the auction house raised her hand as a strong guy came up with a treasure which was covered by a red rag so people could not see it. The beautiful hostess smiled and said, “This is a fun thing. We got it from a historical site. But… we cannot put a price on it as we cannot recognize it. If anyone of you know it, please tell us so we can broaden our mind together.”

“Don’t know?”

Many people were intrigued. Lu Li felt like he had heard it somewhere, but where?

Then he remembered. Back at the Heaven Punishing House when he was bidding on that drip of blood, the auction house said that they were not sure about it.

Lu Li looked curiously over. The beautiful hostess unveiled it and everyone was staring at a huge golden claw.

That was right!

The strong guy was holding a huge golden claw. Clearly, it was cut from a powerful Xuan Beast. The claw was golden in color as if it was cast in gold. There were small scales on it, emitting a cold metallic feel. Even though it was just a claw, people already found it hard to breath. How powerful the actual beast was could be beyond imagination.

“The beast must be a Beast King at least!”

Han Wuxin’s eyes glowed and he said in a low voice, “This is amazing. There are three drops of blood in the claw that keep it from rotting and making it so powerful. If it really came from a beast king, then the claw is priceless…”

“Hoo, hoo~”

Han Wuxin felt something was off. He suddenly looked to Lu Li who was panting. His muscles swelled and his eyes glowed in silverlight. The powerful and unspeakable qi and energy made him a human-shaped beast.

Han Wuxin grabbed Lu Li and shouted, “Brother Lu, what’s the matter?”

Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and the others all looked at Lu Li nervously. They had no idea why Lu Li was acting like this.

Lu Li paid no attention to them. His silver eyes were locked on that golden claw downstairs. He said in a coarse voice, “I must have it, have it. I must have it at all costs.”
