Monarch of Time-Chapter 787 - 787 Fighting Over The Earth Flame

''Sigh, I was hoping that it would be an earth flame with the element of ice. That way, I could increase the level of my Dao of Ice even further after I absorb it.

...Although it's slightly unfortunate, it doesn't matter that much in the end, since any earth flame will increase my strength by quite a bit. Even if the Dao of Fire is useless to me, having an earth flame is no different from having an extra trump card when I'm in trouble.''

The beautiful silver-haired woman from the White ice city who was in the room right next to Shun Long's mumbled to herself as she stared at the purple-colored ball of flame on the main stage, and after taking a deep breath, she then called out in a loud voice

''600.000 high-grade spirit stones.''

The silver-haired woman then turned her attention towards Shun Long's private room before she turned to look at the 2 other rooms in front of her.

The beautiful silver-haired woman knew, that her main opponents for today's auction would most likely be the mysterious black-robed person in the room next to hers whose cultivation she had failed to discern previously, as well as those who were inside the other 2 private rooms!

As for Zhuan Jie from the 'Black mist valley', she didn't even bother throwing a single glance at him. Since Zi Hu had already claimed that he would use his 'Soul-locking talisman' the moment that Zhuan Jie managed to get his hands on the earth flame, it was virtually certain that Zhuan Jie would have to give up on bidding this time, whether he liked it or not.

Indeed, Zhuan Jie had a fervent look in his eyes as he stared at the earth flame, but under Zi Hu's cold gaze, he didn't dare to call out his bid. Although Zhuan Jie knew that Zi Hu needed the 'Soul-locking talisman' for his own matters and would most likely not dare to 'waste' it on him, Zhuan Jie didn't dare to truly take this risk in the end.

In his heart, Zhuan Jie was now feeling boundless anger but he didn't have any way to vent it out.

Meanwhile, from one of the 2 private rooms that the silver-haired woman was staring at, a deep voice came from the depths of the room, resounding throughout the auction venue a moment later, as the person inside the room said calmly

''700.000 high-grade spirit stones!''

''Haha, it seems that experts from all the top powers have come for the earth flame today. It's too bad that none of you will be able to obtain it.

If I'm not mistaken, you must be senior Xiao from Lord Zhu's garden. I suppose it's time for me to join in as well.

800.000 high-grade spirit stones!''

A composed voice came from another private room after a few moments of silence, as the person inside the room stared at the expert who had just called out the bid of 700.000 high-grade spirit stones and spoke in a relaxed tone.

'Senior Xiao' narrowed his eyes as he stared at this person sitting in the room right next to his own before he said in a pondering manner

''A peak rank 9 Dao Emperor... It doesn't look like I have met you before, but you seem to recognize me quite easily. Brat, which power did you come from?''

Hearing 'senior Xiao's words, that person suddenly smiled and waved his hand, dispelling the obscuring formation around his private room and revealing his face to everyone present, before he cupped his hands and said

''Naturally, I recognize you. Lord Zhu's garden isn't that far away from my Murong city in the first place, so how could I, as the patriarch of Murong family not be familiar with the experts from Lord Zhu's garden?''

'Senior Xiao's' eyes widened when he heard this, before he asked in a somewhat intrigued voice a moment later

''Brat, you are the new patriarch of Murong family, Murong Tian?''

At this moment, it wasn't just 'senior Xiao' or the silver-haired woman from the White ice city who had turned their attention towards Murong Tian, but every single person present on the fifth floor, including the 7th general from the Northern Sovereign's army, Zi Hu, as well as Zhuan Jie from the 'Black Mist valley'.

Although most people didn't know what Murong Tian looked like since he had only appeared in Murong city twice in the last 3000 years, his name was known by every single person inside the city.

After all, Murong Tian was an extremely influential figure in Murong city and he was even rumored to be just a step away from the Sovereign realm.

Even some Sovereign realm experts were paying attention to someone who could potentially threaten them in the future.

Even though the current Murong Tian wasn't as strong as Sovereign realm experts since he had yet to breakthrough to that level, inside Murong city at least, the patriarch of the Murong family was just as influential as most Sovereign realm experts, if not even more.

In fact, if Murong Tian managed to breakthrough to the Sovereign realm, the Murong family would have 3 Sovereign realm experts, and they would then be ranked right below the strongest powers of the northern part of the central region.

At that moment, inside his own private room, Shun Long had been staring at the purple-colored earth flame with a profound look in his eyes, before he suddenly turned his attention towards the private room next to Zhuan Jie's and looked at the figure of the handsome middle-aged man with long black hair who had just showed his face.

Jiang Tianfang didn't seem to have noticed Shun Long's sudden change in expression as he too stared at Murong Tian at the same time, and after a moment of silence he said

''Nephew Shun, you probably don't know this, but the patriarch of the Murong family is extremely powerful.. Other than the Grand Elder of your Holy sect and a few other peak Dao Emperors at the same level as him, there is practically no one else at the Dao Emperor realm who can be his match.''
