Chapter 446: Chapter 440: Auctioning the Immortal Beast (2)

Tang Liben flipped off the black panther and landed.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A knock resounded on the door.

"Who’s knocking outside this early in the morning?" A voice roared from inside.

"Hahaha!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Brother Tang, can you handle this or not? If you can’t, I’ll take back the immortal beast and try another family."

Tang Liben blushed with shame. He hadn’t expected his outer disciple to treat a knocking guest like this.

Enraged, Tang Liben was fuming with anger.

"Damn it, these brats. Have they gotten too comfortable? They act so recklessly and bring shame to me."

On the verge of losing it, Tang Liben shouted towards the door.

"Tang Xiaoke, you have 30 seconds to come out and kneel or I’ll send you to Jiuyou Hell!"

His voice thundered, shattering the doors of the Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House.

"Why do I hear father’s voice this early?"

"This is bad. Someone must be causing trouble."

In a room on the second floor of the auction house, a handsome man jumped up from the red silk bed.

A woman in a red bellyband, still sleepy, yawned.

"Husband, why are you getting up so early? Come back to bed for a while, will you?"

"Why sleep? Get up right now and go greet father!"

The speaker was Tang Liben’s younger son, Tang Xiaoke.

"What?"

The woman in bed suddenly sat up.

"Why would father come here?"

Tang Xiaoke hurriedly dressed, flustered, "Stop asking questions, or real trouble will come."

"Whoosh—"

In a flash of light, Tang Xiaoke disappeared.

Outside the auction house, Tang Xiaoke knelt on the ground, trembling under Tang Liben’s intimidating gaze.

"Father, why didn’t you inform us you were coming?"

"Hmph."

Tang Liben snorted, "What, you think I need your permission to come here?"

Tang Xiaoke lowered his head.

"Your child dares not."

"Hmph!"

Tang Liben glared at Tang Xiaoke, "You better not dare!"

Tang Xiaoke remained silent, afraid to speak.

Tang Liben grumbled, "Since it’s your first offense, get up."

Standing up, Tang Xiaoke nervously asked, "Father, why did you come here at this time?"

"Why?"

Tang Liben clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Announce that this afternoon, our auction house will hold a large auction."

"A large auction?"

Looking troubled, Tang Xiaoke said, "Father, our auction house hasn’t held a large auction in years. What will we auction if people show up?"

"Just do as I say, no more nonsense."

Tang Liben looked at Tang Xiaoke as if he couldn’t stand his incompetence.

"But father, you have to tell me so I can prepare."

Tang Liben’s eyes turned cold, "Is an immortal beast that can speak human language enough?"

"What?"

Shocked, Tang Xiaoke stammered, "Father, are you serious?"

"What do you mean?"

Tang Xiaoke said, "Father, remember how rare such a beast is? Even our Yuanfa Immortal Sect doesn’t have one. How can you auction it off?"

Tang Liben boasted, "Kid, listen up. I have plenty of such beasts, just make the announcement."

"Er."

Tang Xiaoke’s face darkened, thinking, "This old man is getting senile. An immortal beast that can speak human language is rare, not more than a handful in all the Immortal Domain, and he says he has plenty..."

"Tang Xiaoke, if you don’t hurry up, believe me, I’ll beat you!" Tang Liben scolded.

"Don’t be angry, father. I’m on it right now."

Tang Xiaoke scurried off and started preparing for the large auction as Tang Liben had instructed.

Outside the auction house, Tang Liben, smiling broadly, approached Yan Rufeng and bowed, "My poor guidance embarrassed you, Brother Yan."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Brother Tang, no need for all that. Our main goal right now is to lure out Yun Jiuge. The auction doesn’t need to be too elaborate."

"Right, right."

Feeling awkward, Tang Liben said, "I was so focused on the auction, I forgot our real aim."

"Hahaha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled without a word.

Tang Liben whispered, "Brother Yan, when Yun Jiuge shows up, how do we get him to admit what he’s done?"

Yan Rufeng replied calmly, "Brother Tang, just follow my instructions. No need to ask further questions."

"Alright, alright!"

Tang Liben smiled in a way he hadn’t in years.

In just an hour, news of Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House’s large auction spread throughout the city.

In Luoxian City, each family and merchant guild reacted differently.

Closer to the Yuanfa Immortal Sect, the manager of the Canglan Immortal Sect Auction House, Yang Qingyi, heard the news and laughed secretly.

"Our Canglan Immortal Sect Auction House hasn’t held a large auction in years. Just you wait, Yuanfa Immortal Sect, we’ll see your embarrassment today."

The news reached the Heavenly Dao Sect Auction House. An elderly man in white frowned, puzzled, "Luoxian City hasn’t seen a large auction in years. I wonder what the Yuanfa Immortal Sect will auction this time..."

At the City Lord Mansion in Luoxian City, Yun Jiuge heard the news and showed a trace of disdain.

"What could be worth anything at an auction by the Yuanfa Immortal Sect?"

His subordinate timidly asked, "Lord City Lord, should we send someone to check it out just in case?"

"No need."

Yun Jiuge closed his eyes, saying no more.

At the Zhao Family Mansion, Patriarch Zhao Qilin laughed upon hearing the news, "After two years, finally an auction house is holding a large auction. Let’s see if Yuanfa Immortal Sect can bring something decent to auction..."

It was clear that the major powers in Luoxian City didn’t have high hopes for Yuanfa Immortal Sect’s auction.

Even so, it didn’t stop the curious from attending this auction.

Before the auction even started, the entrance of Yuanfa Immortal Sect Auction House was crowded with onlookers.

The bustling crowd created a din of noise.

"It’s almost time, why isn’t anyone from Yuanfa Immortal Sect showing up?"

"Who knows, maybe they’re not ready yet."

"Hahaha!"

"A large auction isn’t something you can casually hold. Look above us, several layers of people are floating. If they don’t let us in on time, let’s see Yuanfa Immortal Sect make fools of themselves..."
