The gap between forces with Supreme-level powerhouses and those without is vast.
As far as Lin Yun knew, the human race only had a dozen or so Supreme-level powerhouses.
For example, the Wu Clan, ranked among the top fifty human forces, could not possibly have a Supreme-level powerhouse. At most, they would have several Void Dao Realm cultivators.
Friends from the Nether Palace, I only wish to purchase this item and mean no offense. Besides, the appraisal event follows the rule of the highest bidder prevailing. If friends from the Nether Palace truly need this item, they can simply bid. I believe the Nether Palace’s wealth surely surpasses mine, Lin Yun said, his tone relatively polite, avoiding direct confrontation.
On Lin Yun’s cultivation path, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Moreover, Lin Yun knew that today’s appraisal event was overseen by powerhouses from the four major clans. Even the Nether Palace wouldn’t dare attack him on the spot.
A cold voice rang out from the third floor again, Hmph, this beastman corpse isn’t of much use to ordinary cultivators. Why are you competing for it? The Nether Palace bids 175 million. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better back off!
As these words were spoken, countless eyes turned toward Lin Yun, eager to see how he would respond.
Sorry, I happen to need this item as well. I bid 190 million. If the Nether Palace’s final bid exceeds my expectations, I’ll withdraw, Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun still had just over 200 million Haoyue Crystal Stones. If the opponent’s bid exceeded his total, he would have no choice but to give up.
Otherwise, Lin Yun was determined to compete. Missing this item would make it nearly impossible to find another.
He’s bold, daring to keep bidding despite the Nether Palace’s threats!
Lin Yun’s bid left many in the crowd stunned.
Inside the Wu Clan’s booth, Wu Jun sneered, I didn’t expect this guy to go head-to-head with the Nether Palace. What an arrogant fool who doesn’t know his place!
The Nether Palace was far stronger than the Wu Clan, a force even they had to respect and fear to some extent.
Moreover, the Nether Palace had a fearsome reputation in the martial world, notorious for its blood debts and ruthless, merciless nature.
If the Nether Palace decides to deal with this kid, it’ll save us the trouble, Wu Jun’s father said with a cold smile.
Inside the Nether Palace’s booth on the third floor, a green-faced, grim-featured old man’s eyes blazed with anger. Seeking death! This kid is simply seeking death! He’s openly challenging the Nether Palace? A nobody from the first floor dares to compete with us? He doesn’t know his place!
He had already issued such a warning, yet Lin Yun continued to bid.
In the old man’s view, wasn’t Lin Yun blatantly disrespecting the Nether Palace?
Moreover, with so many forces present, the Nether Palace’s intimidation had no effect. Wasn’t this a slap in their face?
Elder, bid one more time. If the price exceeds 200 million, it’s not worth competing for. We need to save funds for the next item, a man beside him advised.
Even for a wealthy force like the Nether Palace, spending over 200 million on this item was somewhat excessive.
The green-faced old man nodded and declared, The Nether Palace bids 200 million! Kid, offend us, and you might end up a corpse in the wilderness!
The threatening voice echoed through the venue.
Lin Yun was slightly taken aback.
The scene fell silent again, the atmosphere growing tense and peculiar.
The Nether Palace is too domineering! The appraisal event is about the highest bidder prevailing. If you have the ability, crush him with your bid. Resorting to threats is disgraceful!
At that moment, a slightly aged voice suddenly rang out from the third floor, breaking the silence.
The crowd erupted into a buzz.
What’s going on? Someone on the third floor is speaking up for that guy?
Unless they have a strong bond, who would dare speak out like that? That’s challenging the Nether Palace!
It seems this kid might truly have an extraordinary identity.
Who’s meddling in the Nether Palace’s affairs? The Nether Palace elder immediately demanded in a cold voice, his shout resounding through the appraisal event.
I, from Quiet Moon Valley, simply can’t stand the Nether Palace’s bullying tactics! A resounding voice echoed from the third floor again.
Inside the Wu Clan’s booth, Wu Jun was stunned. Quiet Moon Valley is… is actually speaking up for this guy? Could he really have an extraordinary identity?
