Chapter 467 Human vs. Demon: A Battle of Souls!
At this moment, the auction hall was brightly lit, but it could not conceal the tense atmosphere that was quietly spreading.
Inside VIP room number 99, the identity of the seventh-tier demon king, the North Sea Black Tortoise, has been revealed.
Even the high-level cultivators on the second floor, though their words carried a hint of indifference and even included jokes, could not hide their fear of this demon king.
The cultivators on the first floor felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on their hearts, making them feel extremely depressed.
They secretly wondered if the cultivators on the second floor would suddenly turn against them and whether the Myriad Star Alliance would intervene.
After all, a battle between high-level cultivators is no small matter. Once it spreads, the entire venue will be reduced to dust, and they will not be able to remain unscathed.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the voice of the Sea King Palace rang out again, this time inquiring about the identity of the person in VIP room number 88.
Although she has been bidding against the North Sea Black Tortoise, the possibility that it was all a charade cannot be ruled out.
If the person sitting in that private box is another demon king, I'm afraid this auction will be difficult to maintain its superficial peace, and a bloody storm may break out in an instant.
The atmosphere in the venue grew increasingly heavy, filled with a sense of impending doom.
When questioned by the Sea King Palace, Chu Lengyu remained silent.
With a mere flick of his sleeve, several streams of light spilled out, instantly transforming into numerous miniature celestial boats in the air, radiating a faint spiritual light and gleaming brilliantly.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, and murmurs of discussion arose.
"I'm finding it difficult to determine the grade of this immortal ship!"
"Even within our sect, immortal ships are extremely precious items. I never expected that she could produce several so easily."
"It seems that today's auction is truly full of hidden talents. First, the Demon King of the North Sea appeared, and now Box 88 has brought out such a treasure. It's truly an eye-opener."
Those around him nodded in agreement.
The cultivators from the Sea King Palace were taken aback when they saw these immortal ships.
Sea monsters do not use celestial boats; they cross the ocean directly with their physical bodies, and the smarter ones even take advantage of deep-sea currents.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious fellow Daoist chose to use this method to prove his identity; it was truly unique.
However, this only makes her true identity even more elusive.
The Black Tortoise of the North Sea sneered at this sight.
He detested the roundabout ways of human cultivators. Since they possessed such great power, why didn't they live more freely and frankly? Just watching them made him feel suffocated.
Danzhu asked at the opportune moment, "In VIP room number ninety-nine, the bid is two hundred million spirit stones. Are there any further bids?"
The cultivator from the Sea King Palace immediately said, "Fellow Daoists, now that you know our identities, there's no need to waste spirit stones on this technique."
The implication was clear: he was inviting everyone to put down their bids and then hunt the North Sea Black Tortoise together.
If we can keep this demon king here, we can not only get his treasures, but also get rid of a major threat to the human race. Why not?
Since the Sea King Palace is willing to take the lead, sects like the Thousand Mist Sect will naturally follow its lead and be willing to participate in this matter.
Seventh-tier demonic beasts are a rare sight. Even if all the demon kings of the four seas gather tonight, the number of human cultivators on the island far exceeds theirs. This is simply a golden opportunity!
This time, Danzhu didn't ask any more questions and directly announced that the transaction was successful.
Chu Lengyu sat in the private room, observing coldly. She noticed the strangeness hidden behind this earlier than anyone else present.
Whether human or sea monster, all have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune; this is a common nature shared by all things in the world.
However, the Demon King of the Four Seas has made a rash appearance tonight, knowing full well that this might invite the danger of being besieged, yet he still risks coming.
Even a creature as arduous as the North Sea Black Tortoise is willing to sit among human cultivators. How could this not raise suspicions?
Chu Lengyu's mind raced, her thoughts flowing like lightning, capable of processing countless ideas in an instant.
Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had caught something, and an incredible possibility quietly emerged in her mind.
Her gaze toward Danzhu thus took on a deeper meaning.
If she's right, the entire Minghai Realm has already been placed on the chessboard of the Myriad Star Alliance.
Whether it's the human cultivators led by the Sea King Palace, the sea monsters led by the Four Sea Demon Kings, or the three masked men, they are all just pawns in this game, deliberately lured here to perform a meticulously arranged chess game.
Although she couldn't fully figure out the connection between them yet.
But what she was certain of was that the winner takes all and the loser is condemned, and only the Wanxing Alliance, the house, could win everything and would never suffer a loss.
Chu Lengyu raised her hand and gently tapped her brow. A trace of annoyance flashed through her mind, but more than that, she felt a sudden realization.
Even she couldn't resist the allure of the auction and came here, let alone those cultivators and sea monsters?
She lowered her eyes slightly.
Looking down upon the mortal world, all beings are merely struggling to cross the river!
At this moment, Danzhu stood on the high platform, her red dress trailing on the ground, like a blooming peony.
She announced loudly, "Since you are all so eager, I will take the liberty of auctioning the grand finale item ahead of schedule. What do you all think?"
This one sentence instantly silenced the noise in the room.
Everyone was startled, and then an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up inside them.
Who wouldn't be curious about what the grand finale of tonight is? Is it a legendary high-level magic weapon, a top-level cultivation technique, or some rare item similar to the Fate Wheel Fruit?
People had their own guesses, and their eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at the stage, practically yearning for it.
However, Danzhu smiled brightly, did not take out any items, and there was no change on the stage.
She stood gracefully on the high platform and said to the crowd, "Tonight's final auction item is extremely special; it is the right to trade races."
The cultivators' faces immediately showed astonishment.
They had been expecting Danzhu to produce something truly extraordinary to amaze them, but to their surprise, she uttered such a nonsensical statement.
"Race trade rights? What is that?" A questioning voice came from a private room on the second floor.
An ominous premonition quietly rose in their hearts.
Seeing this, Danzhu's smile grew even brighter, and she replied, "You all witnessed the auction of the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique just now. Even though I knew the other party was a demon beast, I could not refuse his request to trade."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room. Seeing that everyone was listening intently, she continued, "However, if any human cultivators win the right to trade with this race, then in the Minghai Realm, the Myriad Star Alliance will only trade with humans, while the demon race will lose all eligibility to purchase or bid. The reverse is also true!"
