Chapter 2512: Chapter 2515: A Colossal Problem

"Twenty thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres! Vice Village Chief Mo Shi, don’t you start stirring up trouble!"

Gui Ying’s voice rang out again.

"Twenty-five thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres, Gui Ying, cut the crap. You think I, Mo Shi, am afraid of you?"

Mo Shi didn’t back down in the slightest. Faced with such a chance to understand Lei Yang Village’s top-tier Combat Skills, there was no way he would let it slip by.

"Hahaha, so lively. Then this old man will join in too—thirty thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres."

"This decrepit old man will join the fun as well—thirty-five thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"Haha, then..."

Voices rang out one after another; all of a sudden, bids sounded from several private rooms.

"Holy shit, are all people from the Eight Great Villages here?"

"Seems like the vice village chiefs of the Eight Great Villages are all present!"

"Damn, they’ve all got their eyes on Lei Yang Village’s Combat Skills!"

"No kidding. The Eight Great Villages are always clashing with each other. If they get their hands on another village’s top-tier Combat Skills, wouldn’t they be able to anticipate the enemy’s moves in battle? How could they not join in?"

Discussion broke out in all directions. In Lei Yang Village’s private room, Gui Ying’s face was dark to the extreme. "Bastard! Damn Jiang Chen, just you wait! Since you’ve shown yourself, you can die here today!"

Gui Ying immediately guessed that it was Jiang Chen who had put the Combat Skills up for auction, and he hated Jiang Chen so much his teeth itched.

"One hundred thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

Seething with rage, Gui Ying directly pushed the price to one hundred thousand. He knew very well that if they kept raising it bit by bit, who knew when it would end. Only by making such a massive jump could he make the other villages understand his resolve.

But Gui Ying was mistaken. Even without doing this, the other villages would already know how determined he was to bid—after all, this was Lei Yang Village’s own top-tier Combat Skill.

"Hehe, Gui Ying, so generous? Then I’ll play with you a bit more—one hundred and ten thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"Lei Yang Village isn’t short on a few Necro Spheres. Keep going—one hundred and fifty thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"Exactly. Gui Ying, just shout one million already, and this old man definitely won’t compete—two hundred thousand Necro Spheres!"

"Come on, Gui Ying. Last time you hacked me with a blade, this old man hasn’t forgotten—three hundred thousand Necro Spheres!"

People from the various villages all took the chance to kick Gui Ying while he was down, completely having him pegged.

In Private Room No. 1, Jiang Chen watched the clash outside, inwardly overjoyed.

Fight, keep fighting, the more intense the better!

"One million Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

In the end, Gui Ying still pushed the price up to one million.

At that, the others from the various villages stopped bidding. In their estimation, one million Necro Spheres should be Lei Yang Village’s bottom line. If anyone raised it further, that would truly be provoking open war. And this wasn’t even an Earth Rank top-tier Combat Skill—just a high-grade Earth Rank Combat Skill.

The vice village chiefs of the various villages all muttered inwardly.

Whoosh!

An old man sprang up onto the auction platform from a corner of it, took the Jade Slip from Pang Guang’s hand, then leapt straight to the doorway of Lei Yang Village’s private room.

"Just hand it to me."

Pang Tong blocked the old man who was about to enter, speaking indifferently.

Buzz! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The old man glanced at Pang Tong, and a vast, surging aura erupted from him.

"A Semi-Saint expert?!"

Pang Tong’s pupils shrank violently.

Even though everyone’s cultivation realm was being suppressed, one could still infer someone’s true level from the aura contained in their presence.

A trace of disdain curled the old man’s lips as he stretched out a hand and pushed open the private room door.

"Didn’t expect the Canghai Trade Alliance to actually send out a Semi-Saint expert to conduct the transaction."

Gui Ying looked up at the old man, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"We send people of the appropriate level to deal with the appropriate guests. Even if your village chief himself came, it would be the same. This is how we show our respect for our customers."

The old man spoke lightly.

Gui Ying’s expression changed sharply.

The old man’s words sounded polite on the surface, but upon closer thought, there was a threat hidden in them.

Is there really a Saint sitting in town here?

A flash of fear flickered in Gui Ying’s eyes as he lightly furrowed his brows.

"Necro Spheres."

The old man stopped wasting words and held his hand out in front of Gui Ying.

Gui Ying’s face sank as he glared at the old man through gritted teeth. "What’s that supposed to mean? You suspect I can’t produce one million Thunder Path Necro Spheres?"

"Vice Village Chief Gui Ying, don’t you know that within the inner ring, all auction items are settled immediately on the spot? Please hurry up—everyone is waiting."

The old man showed no politeness at all, directly snapping back.

"What’s taking so long, Gui Ying? Did you not bring enough Necro Spheres? Want me to lend you some?"

A mocking voice drifted in from outside the door.

A cold gleam flashed through Gui Ying’s eyes. He shot a gloomy look at the doorway, then flicked his hand; a Space Ring flew toward the old man.

The old man caught the ring, sent his Divine Sense into it to check, then put it away. He placed the Jade Slip on the table, turned, and walked out of the private room. He nodded slightly to Pang Guang, but instead of returning to the side of the auction platform, he stood at the door of the private room.

Pang Tong froze for a moment, gave the old man a look, then glanced at Pang Guang. A vague sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Pang Guang smiled faintly, took out another Jade Slip, gave Pang Tong—who was standing outside the private room—a teasing look, and said with a light laugh, "The next auction item is an Earth Rank top-tier Combat Skill, Breeze Sweeping Heaven Slash..."

Bang!

Before Pang Guang could finish his words, an explosive crack rang out from Lei Yang Village’s private room as Gui Ying slapped the table to powder with one palm.

"Holy shit, among those three top-tier Combat Skills there’s actually this Qingfeng Sky Annihilating Slash?!"

"Nice! Beautiful!"

Excited shouts instantly echoed from the other villages’ private rooms.

"Likewise, one stalk of the Eighth Grade Spiritual Herb Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng can be used to directly exchange for it. If you don’t have that, the starting bid is five million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, or fifty thousand Thunder Path Necro Spheres. The bidding starts now!"

Pang Guang completely ignored whatever was happening on Gui Ying’s side and shouted loudly.

"Holy shit, another Combat Skill from Lei Yang Village!"

"And this one’s an Earth Rank top-tier Combat Skill. Who the hell is this guy? He’s asking for the same Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng as before—it’s definitely the same person. To dare bring out two of Lei Yang Village’s top-tier Combat Skills, he’s trying to offend Lei Yang Village to death!"

"Could it be those people Lei Yang Village was hunting for some time ago?"

"Very possible!"

Gasps spread through the hall, and right after, some well-informed people guessed who had put the Combat Skills up for auction.

"Hahaha, one million Thunder Path Necro Spheres. Gui Ying, keep going!"

Mo Shi’s loud laughter resounded from his private room.

"Two million Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"Three million!"

"Five million!"

In an instant, people from the other major villages all joined the bidding.

This was no longer just about the Combat Skill’s own worth. If they obtained this Breeze Sweeping Heaven Slash, it would be equivalent to crippling one of Lei Yang Village’s top-tier Combat Skills.

Once they were in a real fight, if the enemy used this Combat Skill, they could immediately seize on its flaws and kill them. This wasn’t just the value of a single Combat Skill anymore—they might be taking the lives of several key figures of Lei Yang Village along with it!

This was a colossal matter!
