C105

Under Manager Li's lead, Chen Yao entered the heavily guarded Million Treasures Auction House.

The Thousand Treasures Auction House had always been heavily guarded, and the auction house had always been the most heavily guarded place, for no other reason than that there were many priceless treasures that were being auctioned off by other people. If they were stolen, even if the auction house was willing to compensate for the losses, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Thousand Treasures Association.

Under Manager Li's lead, Chen Yao entered the interior of the Million Treasures Auction House.

During this period of time, although he was not searched by the guards because he was being led by Manager Li, Chen Yao still felt that at least ten experts above the Emperor Stage had searched him with their divine intents.

The Thousand Treasures Firm was truly rich. It was only a branch in the Sword City, but it was able to hire a King Stage powerhouse. Moreover, it had a dozen or so spots.

At this time, in the center of the auction floor, under the bright lights of the auction hall, there was a masked woman in a tight red dress. She was using a magnetic voice and alluring words to introduce the names and functions of the treasures on the stage.

This girl was Tang Mei, she had always been known for her flirtatious demeanor, and her charming manner made it hard for men to resist her. Most men who came here, other than having rare treasures, would focus their attention on Tang Mei.

Tang Mei's body could be described as fiery hot, especially her dress that revealed her waist and back, making her perfect figure appear before everyone's eyes.

No one knew the reason why Tang Mei was wearing her face scarf, but with her face scarf on, she gave people a hazy sense of beauty.

The entire auction house was extremely noisy.

The reason why this auction house's business was so good was most likely because of Tang Mei herself. Many people had specially come from the outer city to attend the monthly regular auction, which was why they had the chance to get close to Tang Mei.

With the addition of Tang Hong, many people were willing to bid for anything that was auctioned off at a price that was several hundred times higher than the original.

Just like before, a Rank 1 Body Tempering Pill that only cultivators in the physical realm would think highly of was actually forcibly auctioned for thirty thousand Spirit Stones. That caused Chen Yao to be stupefied.

This woman really knew how to do business.

Chen Yao's eyes swept across the auction ground.

He actually found out that there were actually many sword faction disciples here today, and there were even direct disciples here.

Ghost Sword, Li Mo.

Shield Sword Su Zhong.

Chen Yao never thought that the sword faction's top ten most famous disciples, the seventh and tenth, would both appear here.

Since these two were King's Realm cultivators, they did not pay much attention to Tang Mei. Instead, they anxiously waited for something. Could it be because of that high-grade earth-step treasure sword?

Manager Li's words suddenly sounded in Chen Yao's mind.

Even with their statuses, the treasured swords they held were only medium-grade earth-step, and there was only a thin line between medium-grade earth-step and high-grade high-grade earth-step. But in a battle between two people of the same level, if both sides had the same cultivation and martial skills, then the sword would be the deciding factor in victory or defeat, and even in life and death. For a swordsman, having a good treasured sword was equivalent to having an extra life.

Moreover, to be able to alarm these two, they were definitely not ordinary high-grade earth-step swords. It was very likely that there was some special technique or array formation inscribed on it by a rune master.

This won't do, these two were already his top six opponents in the sword ranking competition. If these two were to obtain another treasure sword like this, then he wouldn't be able to continue accepting more.

At this moment, Chen Yao had already made up his mind. No matter what, he must obtain that sword for himself.

"..."

It had to be said that Tang Mei was very good and very appropriate. She took advantage of her own beauty and bewitchment.

It didn't feel like it was vulgar, but it also made people's hearts beat faster.

Furthermore, he didn't allow others to take advantage of him in the slightest.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely stirred up by her. Every time a customer wanted to bid on something at a high price, she would send a gentle look and a word of praise to the customer when the heartache was not there.

The customer was immediately overjoyed as his mind rippled.

I must be thinking that even if I were to go bankrupt today, as long as I can get a smile on my face, it would all be worth it.

One item after another was auctioned off at a high price. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heated.

However, Chen Yao quickly discovered that just as the auction house was about to close, experts from the Boundless Demon Sect, Dharma Ancestor, Wu Zong, and a few nearby clans had all entered. All of them were King's Realm experts, and all of them were close to the peak of the King's Realm.

Something wrong?

Chen Yao furrowed his brows. Could it be that the treasure he had obtained today wasn't that high-grade Earth-step flying sword, but something else that was extremely tempting to a King's Realm cultivator?

It seemed that they would need to engage in an intense spirit stone battle. However, if these King's Realm experts were to focus all their attention on the treasure that hadn't appeared yet, then the chances of him obtaining a high-grade earth-step treasure sword would be much higher.

While Chen Yao was pondering his thoughts.

At the center of the auction hall, Tang Mei said to the crowd.

"Two more treasures and today's auction will be over."

Two maids brought the items up to the platform.

There were two boxes, one about a meter long, ten centimeters wide and the other about the size of a palm.

Tang Mei first opened the rectangular box.

The box was clearly engraved with some kind of formation to conceal one's presence. The moment the box was opened, the formation touched it.

Rumble … A loud sword hum resounded as a clear stream of sword Qi shot into the sky.

Suddenly, a screen of light appeared in midair and blocked the sword. Otherwise, the roof of the auction house would have been overturned.

This auction house definitely had a defensive formation.

However, when the strong sword energy clashed against the light screen, the remaining might made many cultivators under the Spirit realm unable to resist. Blood flowed out from the corner of their mouths, and the cultivators under the Spirit realm directly staggered and couldn't stand stably.

"What a powerful sword."

This was what everyone present was thinking.

The higher the grade of the magical equipment, the greater the difference between each rank.

A hundred medium-grade earth-step treasures were not even worth a single high-grade earth-step treasure sword. But a thousand high-grade earth-step treasures were not even worth a single low-grade heaven-step treasure sword.

For example, that day, Chen Yao had used a single strike of the high-grade earth-step Heaven's Lightning to kill four experts of the Genuine Force, the Everlasting Demon Sect.

Although the Sky Thunder was extremely powerful, it was undeniably a very high level one.

Even if it had attack power, could it kill four warriors of the Genuine Force if it was only a low-rank Earth Realm? Obviously not.

This was the sword city. At the foot of the sword faction, everything within a radius of ten thousand li was within the sword faction's area of influence. Here, most sword cultivators were sword cultivators.

Looking at the heated gazes of the crowd, Tang Mei's eyes were full of smiles as she said coquettishly.

This sword is called Heaven Cleaving, it is a high-grade Earth Realm sword that was accidentally found by an expert in a secret location. The sword has an ancient inscription on it, and it is supported by a special sword qi, so even if it is not imbued with spirit energy, this Heaven Cleaving Sword will automatically activate the fake sword qi.

Listening to Tang Mei's explanation, everyone's gaze became even more fervent.

"Brat, regardless of the cost, get this sword."

Suddenly, the sword spirit's slightly joyful voice resounded in Chen Yao's mind.
