Chapter 1520 - You Dumbass
The sudden voice caught everyone off guard and yanked their attention toward it. It came from neither the Absolute Frost Palace nor the Comet Temple, but the Azure Profound Gate, and the price they offered could drive countless people insane.
"Has the Azure Profound Gate gone insane? They only have a little over one million astral crystals left, and how are they going to pay? Most of the planets under their jurisdiction raise venomous creatures, so even if they mortgage them, who would want to take them over?" The crowd erupted into debate, convinced the Azure Profound Gate had lost its mind. After all, what was the point of spending fifteen million astral crystals for a chant?
When the Azure Profound Gate's offer rang out, Liu Wuxie's face hardened, and pain twisted his expression.
"Are there any other offers?" Liu Wuxie asked.
Everyone knew the Azure Profound Gate stood in cahoots with the Grand Unity Sect.
The Grand Unity Sect might have lost the right to bid, but not the Azure Profound Gate, and they could buy the chant on their behalf. No wonder Liu Wuxie's face turned ugly the instant the Azure Profound Gate raised the price.
"Hahaha! Liu Wuxie really smashed his own foot with the stone he lifted this time!" Laughter burst from the crowd. Liu Wuxie had tried to seize this chance to earn astral crystals, only to end up selling the chant to his enemy instead.
Though the Azure Profound Gate and the Heavenly Dao Society hadn't clashed head-on, the Azure Profound Gate had repeatedly tried to cause trouble for Liu Wuxie during the earlier bidding, and everyone could clearly see the signs.
The Divine Sun-Moon Palace withdrew the moment the price crossed ten million because it was their limit. The other sects also shook their heads, and no one else offered a higher price.
"Liu Wuxie, here are seven million astral crystals. We will deliver the remaining eight million to the Heavenly Dao Society within three days," said the Azure Profound Gate's sect master. He wrote a debt note and branded it with Heavenly Dao's laws. If they failed to deliver the remaining astral crystals within three days, the heavenly dao's restraint would bind them.
After reaching their level, they no longer feared threats or even life and death, but they feared the heavenly dao's restraint most of all. Once the heavenly dao bound them, it would strip away all hope of ascending to immortality and drag them into an endless cycle of reincarnation.
Back then, Liu Wuxie had sworn in the heavenly dao's name that he hadn't borrowed a single astral crystal from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and that was why the Divine Alchemy Sect had plunged straight into his trap.
