Chapter 1509 - Stunning Wager
Liu Wuxie's sudden bid hit like a boulder thrown into still water, sending ripples through the auction hall as everyone turned to look at him. The window slid open again, and Liu Wuxie's harmless face appeared before everyone.
One after another, the private-room windows cracked open in response, including the Divine Alchemy Sect's.
When Liu Wuxie had bid for the Starfall Jade earlier, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had paid for his impulsiveness because he couldn't produce enough astral crystals. Even if Hua Feiyu agreed to cover for him again, the other elders wouldn't, and they would definitely stop him.
"Liu Wuxie, are you joking around with me? How dare you bid when you can't even produce the astral crystals? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?" Bai Ran mocked.
The Divine Alchemy Sect hadn't fallen for Liu Wuxie's trap earlier, and the Grand Unity Sect had even turned Liu Wuxie's own tactic on the Heavenly Dragon Sect, becoming the focus of the entire hall in one stroke.
"What if I can take out the astral crystals? Are you going to slap yourselves in the face?" Liu Wuxie asked with a smile, mockery flickering in his eyes as he looked straight at Bai Ran.
Everyone from the Divine Alchemy Sect leaned over the window frame. They had missed their golden opportunity earlier, and this time they meant to bury Liu Wuxie.
"If you can produce the astral crystals, our Divine Alchemy Sect will leave the Skybrim Pavilion immediately," Bai Ran said with a broad grin. The Divine Alchemy Sect hadn't bought much so far, but they had already seen enough, so losing wouldn't matter to them.
The moment the crowd heard the wager between the two sects, cultivators from the major sects rose from their seats, excitement surging through them.
"If I can take out the astral crystals, how about your Divine Alchemy Sect pays for whatever I buy next?" Liu Wuxie asked Bai Ran with a harmless smile, determined to shove the Divine Alchemy Sect straight toward the grave.
Fifty items remained, and if the Heavenly Dao Society bought them all, the price would soar past sixty million astral crystals. Even if the Divine Alchemy Sect sold itself, they couldn't scrape together enough.
The Divine Alchemy Sect immediately felt unease crawl up their spines as soon as they heard it, and they didn't dare fall for it. If they lost, the Divine Alchemy Sect would disintegrate. The wager was too massive, and they couldn't afford the gamble.
