The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 166 The Heavy Price!

Hua Sheng’s words were sharp, and he united everyone by his simple words. More importantly, he isolated the young man in room No. 50.

Language was a form of art. If people used it correctly, it was no less than a sharp knife and could also kill people.

The girl in room No. 42 was obviously excited and shouted, “It seems that the rules of Linghang Auction House perform practically no function. Now that you bullied us like this, we will never come again.”

The young man’s overbearing increase in the bidding price had already made the others unhappy. Moreover, people from the Martial Tao world were not simple and were always prepared to stir up trouble.

“Please give us an explanation, Linghang Auction House. This man was so overbearing and even threatened us. Are you going to take care of it or not?”

“Brother in room No. 77 is right. The man in room No. 50 is too arrogant. Tell me, who were you threatening? I really hate it when someone threatens others by asking if they want to die. How fucking capable are you? There are people dying every day. Please tell me, how many of them were killed by you?” A person who was irascible and eccentric, ranted directly.

“Where are the people of the Linghang Auction House? If you cannot give us an explanation, we will leave immediately. I don’t want to deal with you. It is so ridiculous that even bidding is life-threatening. I was so scared.”

The people from the Martial Tao world shouted one after another, in order to stir up trouble.

The youth in room No. 50 was dumbfounded. Hadn’t he just said a few words? What caused this mass denunciation against him? He became furious and was about to retort when the auctioneer spoke first.

“Sir in room No. 50, please mind your language. If it happens again, I will cancel your right to bid in the auction on behalf of the Linghang Auction House.”

These words were very harsh, but they could also be easily understood. Compared to so many guests, a single person was insignificant.

The young man’s face darkened and became slightly distorted. He asked, “Do you know who I am?”

“Young Master, watch your mouth!” The grandmaster of Sixth Grade hurried to stop the young man, because he knew that the background of the Linghang Auction House was not simple and the owner was not afraid of the Heaven Tao Sect in the least.

The old man was a grandmaster of Sixth Grade after all, and he could stop the young man from saying anything as long as he suppressed him.

The young man’s forehead was full of sweat. He looked at the old man in disbelief and asked, “Do you know what you are doing?”

“Young Master, since the householder asked me to come out with you, I have to ensure your safety. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go back and complain to the householder.” The old man snorted coldly and said.

A grandmaster of Sixth Grade was respected and his status was very high. Although the young man was noble, he still did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the old man.

He could not vent his anger, so he shouted at the microphone, “I bid 600 million. I can bid normally, can’t I?”

“Of course you can. Let us continue bidding,” the auctioneer said.

“800 million.” Hua Sheng bid.

The young man was so angry. He wanted to swear, but did not dare to do so. He felt uncomfortable, so he grabbed the teapot on the tea table and threw it on the wall, roaring, “100 million.”

All of a sudden, the scene quieted down.

This fellow was crazy. Although the Golden Crow Herb was precious, it was not worth so much.

“Young Master...” The grandmaster of Sixth Grade was exasperated at the young man’s failure to live up to his expectations. Their target this time was the Tripod of the Western Queen. If they should spend such a large sum of money now, how could they bid for the Tripod of the Western Queen later?

The young man glanced at the old man with a trace of slyness on his face and said, “Presbyter Liang, don’t worry. When the other party offers a higher price, I will give up. I will not relieve my anger unless the other party loses more than 1 billion.”

The old man was stunned and looked at the young man in surprise. Then, he smiled with satisfaction. He did not expect the young man to be so scheming. He had misjudged him before.

After all, like father, like son. How could the son of the Heaven Tao Sect’s householder be trash?

On the other side, Hua Sheng was also shocked by the young man’s impetuosity. 200 million was not a small sum of money, but he was not afraid. He was the local force of Yunyan City, and how could he let others bully him here? However, just as he was about to raise the price, Chu Xun stopped him.

“Why? You don’t have to worry about money.” Hua Qingwu thought that Chu Xun was worried about money.

Chu Xun shook his head and said with a smile, “Since someone is willing to pay for us, why should we reject his good intention? Let the other party help us safeguard the Golden Crow Herb for the time being.”

This last sentence was the same as what the young man in room No. 50 had said before.

On hearing that, Hua Qingwu suddenly widened her eyes and asked in surprise, “Are you going to steal it?”

Hua Sheng was also surprised. Chu Xun was so tough, and he admired him very much.

Chu Xun nodded with a smile and said, “Since they are from the Heaven Tao Sect, why not rob them?”

The Heaven Tao Sect?

Hua Qingwu and Hua Sheng were shocked. Not only the people from the Martial Tao world, but also the well-informed people from the secular world knew about the feud between Chu Xun and the Heaven Tao Sect.

On the other side, the people from the Heaven Tao Sect pricked up their ears and stretched their necks, eagerly waiting for Chu Xun to bid.

Bang!

The hammer knocked for the first time.

The young man’s expression changed, and there was sweat on his forehead.

“Don’t worry, the other party will definitely raise the price. Just now, someone bid when the hammer was about to knock for the third time. It will be the same this time.” He comforted the others, as well as himself.

Bang!

The hammer came down for the second time.

The young man’s face turned pale, as if the hammer had hit him in his heart.

“Come on... bid...” the young man muttered.

But when they saw the hammer was about to come down for the third time, the young man felt as aggrieved as if he had lost his parents, and so did the others.

“Ahem ahem...”

The sudden cough caused the hammer to pause.

The young man suddenly looked up and his eyes lit up. He knew that the other party would definitely bid.

“Ahem ahem... How wealthy you are to spend one billion buying herb! I really admire you! I will give up.” Hua Sheng’s teasing voice resounded through the 22nd floor.

As soon as Hua Sheng finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone realized then that the man in room No. 50 had been fooled. One billion! The price was too much.

The girl in room No. 42 jumped excitedly and smiled like a flower.

“Hum, you bullied me before. And you have been fooled by others now, right?” The girl wrinkled her nose and said in a cute and naive voice.

The old man and the young man in room No. 42 smiled as they looked at each other. This matter... was indeed quite satisfying.

Plop!

The young man’s eyes were dull, as if he had been hit on the head. He sat down on the floor, with only one thought in his mind that he had been tricked.

He could afford one billion.

But he could not accept that he had been framed.

He was always the one who framed others. When had he ever been framed by others?

“Ah...” The young man let out an angry roar. The corners of his mouth had been bitten and were bleeding.

“Presbyter Liang, help me kill him.” The young man’s voice was bitter and chilling.

The old man’s face was full of joy. The young man had always been pretending to be the weak to fool others to get the final win and had also fooled the old man many times over the years. His scheming ability was really extraordinary. The Heaven Tao Sect needed such a person to lead. The young man had all the qualities of an ambitious person.

“Yes, Young Master.” The old man said in a low voice.

“Keep a close eye on room No. 42 and room No. 77,” the old man ordered.

“Yes, teacher!” the four answered.

This scene was witnessed by Chu Xun, who could not help raising the corners of his mouth.

Chu Xun had planned to capture these people after the auction, but he did not expect that they would take the initiative to come to him. It would take him no effort to find them. How ridiculous the whole matter was!

“Welcome, Young Master of the Heaven Tao Sect,” Chu Xun said in a low voice.
