Chapter 1504 - Spirit Clan
Liu Wuxie's abrupt movement jolted everyone, and they rose to their feet with him in alarm.
"Wuxie, what's the problem?" Xu Lingxue said, her face tightening with worry. She had never seen that expression on Liu Wuxie before, because he always held his composure no matter what happened, even in a life-and-death crisis.
"It's nothing," Liu Wuxie replied, waving a hand to dismiss their concern.
"What is that race? It looks weird and has a pair of wings on its back." Everyone turned again to stare at the auction platform.
The seventh item was a living being—a winged man over three meters tall. Pearly white feathers spread from his back, and a special rope bound him tightly, leaving him immobilised. His face looked nearly human, with only the wings marking the difference.
"It's the Spirit Clan," Liu Wuxie said. He had waited far too long to encounter the Spirit Clan and had never expected to see its members being sold at auction.
"The Spirit Clan?" Everyone echoed in confusion. They had never heard of such a race, not even Miao Jianying.
Miao Jianying had recorded all the races in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, yet he had found nothing at all about the Spirit Clan.
Liu Wuxie still didn't elaborate. The Earth-Binding Chains belonged to the Spirit Clan, and he had promised the Feather Emperor to return them to them. After all, the Earth-Binding Chains were the Spirit Clan's hope—their sacred relic.
Once the restriction loosened, the Spirit Clan member lifted his head and looked around. Confusion clouded his eyes as he stared at the unfamiliar surroundings; he had no idea how they had brought him there or put him up for sale. He must have remained under restriction for too long, leaving his mind slow to catch up.
"Now, let us begin bidding on the first item," Elder Wu Hen said as the auction rolled on.
Liu Wuxie's attention no longer rested on the other goods, because he had already decided he would obtain the Spirit Clan member no matter what. If he bought this Spirit Clan member, he could return the Earth-Binding Chains and finally settle the burden that had lingered in his heart.
