Chapter 555 - 549: The Counterattack from Ye Zhen
As the voice of the auctioneer Youx Fang settled, streaks of light flashed across the entire auction hall. Martial Artists attending the Treasure Auction Conference were well aware of the rules set by the Heavenly Spirit Auction House.
Some Martial Artists, feeling their purses were not sufficiently full, would often consign treasures of limited use to themselves, not only to raise funds but also because consigning them here was a better deal than selling them outside.
Meanwhile, the numerous Martial Artists in the hall looked at auctioneer Youx Fang with anticipation.
This was due to a rule of the Heavenly Spirit Auction House: whenever the consignment process began, the auction house would announce any last-minute real treasures, giving many interested bidders time to prepare, and also adding color to the Treasure Auction Conference.
Would Ye Zhen really auction the Demon Cloud Fruit? The verdict was about to be revealed.
Not only the Martial Artists in the hall but those in the private rooms were also feeling a mix of urgency and anticipation.
"Why hasn’t the auctioneer made the announcement yet? Could it be that Ye Zhen is playing us? To gather Spirit Crystals, I even consigned the pill formula I obtained last time," said Hall Master of the Longevity Sect’s Vermilion Bird Hall, Duan Yingnian, with an urgent look in one of the private rooms.
"Am I not the same? The High-Grade Treasure Spear I used in my early years, I’ve sent it away, all for the sake of securing that Demon Cloud Fruit! And it’s all your fault!
If it weren’t for you, we could have secretly dealt with this Ye Zhen, and the Demon Cloud Fruit would have been ours!" Divine General Pan from beneath the Eight Divine Generals of the Longevity Sect complained with a dissatisfied expression.
In a flash, Duan Yingnian fell silent.
