C790 Smallsword Immortal's Intelligence
Finally, after a few rounds of preemptive intelligence auctions, the last auction was about to begin, and the atmosphere in the room began to sink.
Although the previous few rounds of auctions were fierce, the ones competing were not the big shots because those big shots were here for the last piece of information, which was the whereabouts of Little Sword Immortal.
Zhan Wuhen's expression also became serious. As a disciple of the Sword Sect, he was the one who was wanted by the Sword Sect. Naturally, he was the one who was most concerned about Little Sword Immortal's whereabouts.
"This is the last round of the auction today. I'm sure you can't wait any longer." The old man said to the crowd below.
The participants below didn't speak. They were waiting for the old man to announce the commencement of the last intelligence auction.
This was bound to be an extremely intense battle, and it would be the most intense battle of the night.
"The final piece of information is the whereabouts of the Little Sword Immortal that everyone is looking forward to the most. Now, I announce that the auction will begin. The starting price is ten thousand silver taels."
As soon as the old man's voice faded, many people below raised their hands.
Eleven thousand silver taels... Twelve thousand silver taels... Fifteen thousand silver taels.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the price of Little Sword Immortal's intelligence had already risen to twenty thousand taels.
And this was before the big shots in the private rooms even made a move. It was the people below who were bidding.
"Thirty thousand taels."
At this moment, a shout came from one of the private rooms.
When the price of thirty thousand silver came out, the people below all became quiet. They couldn't afford a higher price because the bidder was from the room, so they didn't dare to compete with the other party.
Since the person in the private room had made a move, then the next one to make a move would be the other big shots.
"Forty thousand taels."
Forty thousand silver taels. Another voice came from another private room.
"50,000 silver."
Someone also shouted from the side of Lee Zhuohua's private room.
These people increased the price by ten thousand, making it impossible for others to interfere.
The smile on the old man's face became even more brilliant when he heard the price increase. It was obvious that he was very happy.
"This is too exaggerated." Lee Zhuohua did not expect these people to be so passionate about Little Sword Immortal's whereabouts.
"Brother Zhan, it's your turn." Master Yue looked at Zhan Wuhen and said.
"One hundred thousand taels." Zhan Wuhenn narrowed his eyes and then shouted a price that silenced everyone. He doubled the price, and even the people in the other boxes couldn't help but quiet down.
"One hundred thousand taels going once." It was the first time the old man on the high platform shouted.
No one said a word.
"One hundred thousand taels going twice." The old man continued to shout. He deliberately slowed down to wait for someone to bid a higher price.
However, until now, no one made a sound.
"One hundred thousand going three times, deal."
In the end, the old man made the final decision. This piece of information was won by Zhan Wuhen.
Lee Zhuohua was still a little puzzled by this situation. According to the momentum of the competition, they would definitely bid again, but now that no one had bid, he felt a little surprised.
In fact, there was nothing strange about it. The people in the private rooms basically knew each other's identity. When Zhan Wuhen called out his bid, they already knew that the person here was Zhan Wuhenn. Since the Sword Sect was the one who issued the wanted order for Little Sword Immortal, they naturally wouldn't fight with Zhan Wuhenn for this information.
"Yes, I got it." Zhan Wuhenn's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy after successfully obtaining Little Sword Immortal's information.
Lee Zhuohua did not feel anything about this. He had already obtained the Sky Dome Stone, so everything else had nothing to do with him.
He wanted to quickly return and use this Sky Dome Stone to restore the space in his body. This way, his strength would be able to increase once again.
After the auction finished, Lee Zhuohua bid farewell to Zhan Wuhen and the other man. He walked to the inn by himself. Because Zhan Wuhen still had some things to take care of with the Master Yue, he did not return with him.
Lee Zhuohua was walking on the dark street, but in his heart, he was thinking about what happened to Lin Yueqing today. He was curious about what Lin Yueqing needed those medicinal herbs.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Lee Zhuohua felt a special aura behind him, and his brows could not help but frown.
"Who is it? Come out." Lee Zhuohua turned around and shouted at the empty street.
At this moment, a series of applause sounded, followed by a figure walking out of the darkness.
Lee Zhuohua squinted his eyes and looked over. When he saw that it was Soong Chengfeng, his expression changed slightly, as he did not understand why this person was following him. He was slightly vigilant in his heart. This was because the other party was a cultivator who had reached the Earth Level, and he had even grasped the power of faith, so he had no choice but to be careful.
"I didn't expect you to find me so well hidden. It's not just for show." Soong Chengfeng said to Lee Zhuohua with a smile, but under the night sky, his smile seemed extremely evil.
"What are you following me for?" Lee Zhuohua questioned.
"I just want to know what that stone is. Can you explain it to me?" Soong Chengfeng stood where he was and looked at Lee Zhuohua.
"As expected, he is here for the Sky Dome Stone." Lee Zhuohua's heart moved slightly.
"The items that your Ten Directions Pavilion brought out to auction, why are you still asking me what they are? Or is it that you plan to snatch them back?" Lee Zhuohua stared at the other party and said.
"I didn't come here to rob you. I found your stone, exactly, but I don't know what it is. You seem to know something." Soong Chengfeng really wanted to know what that stone was and what it was used for.
Lee Zhuohua frowned slightly when he heard the other party's words, but looking at the other party's expression, he could tell that the other party was not lying to him. He really just wanted to know what this was.
However, would Lee Zhuohua tell him? Obviously not.
"If it is mine, then what exactly is it has anything to do with you? It's really a joke. Why would I need to tell you?" Lee Zhuohua said with a slightly cold tone.
"Looks like you really know." Soong Chengfeng did not get angry when he heard Lee Zhuohua's words, but laughed instead.
"Hmph." Lee Zhuohua did not expect that the other party was testing him, so he snorted coldly.
He was not sure if the other party would snatch it from him now, but he wasn't afraid of him. It was just that he did not want to get entangled with this person.
Soong Chengfeng carefully looked at Lee Zhuohua for a while, then put away the smile on his face and actually turned around to leave.
"Jee Yichuan has already invited you to participate in the handover of the city lord. Hehe, I will go as well. See you then." Soong Chengfeng's voice came from afar.
"What a strange person." Lee Zhuohua shook his head. He did not think too much about it and returned to the inn.
When he returned to the inn, he found that Lin Yueqing was already waiting for him outside his room. He was slightly stunned.
"You've been waiting for me here?" Lee Zhuohua asked.
"Okay, I need your help." A trace of worry flashed between Lin Yueqing's brows, as if she had encountered a problem.
