Upon hearing the scarred middle-aged man’s words, the old man narrowed his eyes and said indignantly, “Leader, did a lord-rank force threaten you and force you to give up on the cultivation method? Which lord-rank force is it? Aren’t they afraid that their disciples or descendants will suffer the wrath of our Bloody Saber Alliance as soon as they leave their sect or clan? Do they think they’d be able to protect their members forever? Can their members stay within the gates of their estate forever?”

The Bloody Saber Alliance was a king-rank bandit group that had moved into the vicinity of Skywind City. Most of the king-rank forces in Skywind City left them alone, afraid of provoking them. Even some lord-rank forces were careful not to provoke them unnecessarily. After all, these bandits were like nomads, moving from one place to another. On the contrary, most forces were restrained since they had put down roots. This meant that if they carelessly provoked others, they would be easily found. Even if they were powerful, their weaker disciples and members would be in danger. Hence, due to the nomadic nature of bandit groups, they did not think twice about offending forces stronger than them.

The scarred middle-aged man shook his head when he heard the old man’s words. Then, he said, “It’s not just one lord-rank force that prohibited me from bidding. All the lord-rank forces have prohibited me from bidding. If I bid for it, there’s no doubt you and I won’t be able to leave Skywind City alive.”

The old man’s expression soured upon hearing these words. Then, a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he asked, “Does that include Murong Sui Feng?”

Murong Sui Feng was the Vice Sect Leader of the lord-rank Hidden Fog Sect and the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy. It was not an exaggeration to say he had the highest status among everyone present today, especially in Skywind City.

With all this, how could the old man not be fearful of Murong Sui Feng?

“That’s right.” The scarred middle-aged man nodded. “The Hidden Fog Sect and the Hidden Fog Academy are among those who threatened me.”

“D*mn it!” the old man cursed, “These lord-rank forces are too shameless!”

No wonder the leader of the Bloody Saber Alliance did not bid on the lord-grade cultivation method. As it turned out, the lord-rank forces had joined forces and forbade others from bidding. Moreover, based on how silent it was, it was clear that the other king-rank bandit groups had also been threatened.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu’s expression changed slightly. She wondered if it was really possible that no one would bid for the lord-grade cultivation method today. After all, apart from being unable to unseal the cultivation method, they really wanted to get rid of this ‘ticking time bomb’ as soon as they could. If they failed to sell it today, everyone would know the lord-grade cultivation method was still with the Zhou clan. At that time, disaster would surely befall the Zhou clan.

Zhou Yun inhaled deeply before she sent a Voice Transmission to the King of Guard guarding the Zhou clan’s trading zone today. The King of Gods was also one of the ancestors of the Zhou clan in Skywind City.

The Zhou clan’s King of Gods was a very old man who looked as though he already had one foot in the grave. When he received the message, he was in the midst of fishing in a pond near the Zhou clan’s trading zone.

His eyes that were flashing coldly narrowed slightly upon hearing Zhao Yu’s message. “Clearly, the lord-rank forces are working together to intimidate the others. Otherwise, even if the king-rank forces don’t dare to bid for it, the king-rank bandit groups would’ve definitely bid for it!”

After a moment, he sent a reply to Zhao Yun.

“Lower the starting bid to 10,000 taels of divine rocks!”

After sending the message, his fishing rod broke with a loud crack. Although he looked calm at this moment, a freezing energy began to sweep out from his body. In just a second, the entire pond was frozen. Based on this, it was clear he had comprehended the law of ice.

Back in the Zhou clan’s auction house.

After Zhou Yun received the message from the clan’s King of Gods, she hurriedly said, “Since there’s no bid for the lord-grade Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique, our ancestor has instructed me to lower the starting bid. Currently, the opening bid for the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique is 10,000 taels of divine rocks.”

An uproar broke out in the auction house as soon as Zhou Yun’s voice fell.

It seems like the Zhou clan was really determined to auction off the lord-grade cultivation method today. Even their ancestor, a King of God, had gotten involved. More shockingly, the Zhou clan decided to lower the starting bid from 100,000 taels of divine rocks to 10,000 taels of divine rocks. After all, even those who were seated on the ground floor could afford to bid for it. For this reason, many people were greatly tempted to bid for it. However, after thinking about and hearing the conversation in their surroundings, they quickly gave up on that idea.

“How strange. I don’t understand why no one’s bidding.”

“It’s clear that the lord-rank forces have something to do with this.”

“That’s right. Members of the lord-rank forces aside, I bet they threaten to kill those who dare to bid for it. Moreover, look at the Zhou clan. They’re so desperate to get rid of the lord-grade cultivation method that they’re even lowering the starting bid from 100,000 taels of divine rocks to 10,000 taels of divine rocks! It’s clear the cultivation method is like a ticking time bomb!”

“That’s obvious! I bet the Zhou clan won’t even be able to hold on to it for three days before it’s taken away from them!”

After hearing such words, those who were greatly tempted to bid for the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique instantly dismissed that idea. After all, even the Zhou clan did not dare to keep it for themselves.

For this reason, even after the starting bid had been lowered, no one bid for the item at all.

In room nine.

Duan Ling Tian was watching everything with great interest. Unlike himself, he knew everyone coveted the lord-grade Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique. However, based on the current situation, it was very clear everyone valued their lives more than the lord-grade cultivation method. After all, what was the use of obtaining the cultivation method if they were going to lose their lives?

Although the king-rank forces in Skywind City, like the Zhou clan and Zhong clan, would not bid for the item, under normal circumstances, the king-rank bandit groups would definitely bid for it. However, with the lord-rank forces working together, even the king-rank bandit groups did not dare to act recklessly.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally aware that the lord-rank forces had something to do with the lack of bidders.

Just as everyone had speculated, the lord-rank forces, including the Hidden Fog Sect and the 10,000 Devils Sect, had already come to an agreement regarding the lord-grade Six God Profound Shadow Technique. Then, they banded together to intimidate the king-rank bandit groups. They planned to obtain the cultivation method without spending their divine rocks.

It was advantageous for them to work together, after all. There could only be one force that obtained the lord-grade cultivation method if they went with the conventional route. Moreover, the winner would also have to pay a high price for it. With their plan, not only all of them would have a turn with the lord-grade cultivation method, but they also would not have to pay for it.

At this time, Duan Qiao Yu who was sitting next to Duan Ling Tian exclaimed in disbelief, “No one’s bidding for the lord-grade cultivation method?! The starting bid has even been lowered to 10,000 taels of divine rocks, but still no one’s interested?”

After a moment, she laughed before she said, “Alright, since no one wants it, I’ll bid for it then! After buying it for 10,000 taels of divine rocks, I can sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels of divine rocks!”

With this, Duan Qiao Yu no longer wasted time and instantly called out, “10,000 divine rocks!”

Duan Qiao Yu’s voice was amplified due to the silence in the auction house. Her words caused a huge commotion immediately like a pebble that gave rise to thousands of waves.

“Someone actually bid for it!”

“It’s room nine! They didn’t bid for anything after winning the three pills! Why would they bid now?”

“Heavens! Are they deliberately trying to provoke the lord-rank forces?”

“Earlier, based on the voice, it was a young man who bid for the pills. This voice now clearly belongs to a young girl…”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Duan Qian Yu when he heard the commotion outside. Then, he shifted his gaze to Yu Qiu Xuan who seemed very calm and did not show any signs of stopping Duan Qiao Yu at all. With this, he realized Duan Qian Yu and Yu Qiu Xuan were clearly unafraid of the various lord-rank forces.

“Room nine started with 10,000 taels of divine rocks!” Zhou Yun said excitedly. She sighed in relief inwardly now that someone had bid for the lord-grade cultivation method. Then, she continued to say, “Are there any more bids? I’m going to start the countdown soon…”

For Zhou Yu, her task today was to sell the lord-grade Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique. It did not matter to whom, and now, the Zhou clan did not care about how much they sold it for as long as it was sold. If they failed to sell it, disaster would certainly befall the Zhou clan.

Then, as though she was worried Duan Qiao Yu would change her mind, she hurriedly began the countdown. “10,000 taels of divine rocks going once!”

Meanwhile, when the crowd regained their senses, they began to discuss among themselves.

“Heavens! Someone dares to bid for it!”

“That was the voice of a young girl… Perhaps, she’s just a kid who’s simply imitating others?”

“Impossible. If she was a kid playing around, the adults with her would have stopped her and explained themselves.”

At this time, Zhou Yu finally said, “10,000 taels going thrice… Sold!”

Han Li Gang, the second elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect, scoffed.

“Little girl, you’re bringing disaster to your family and the force you belong to by doing this…”
