Chapter 1241 - 608: The Luo Family’s Triennial Auction in Qingshi City!

"It will also spark public criticism. After all, in this matter, the actions of those two great dynasties are somewhat understandable — a reluctant move under the influence of the mysterious force."

When Luo Ping’s voice fell, a wave of murmurs filled the room once again.

However, this time, the murmurs quickly subsided.

Everyone understood that Luo Ping had already made his decision, and there was no point in further argument.

As such, they all nodded in agreement and expressed their support for Luo Ping’s decision.

...

After Luo Ping made his decision, the two great dynasties swiftly received the notice of punishment from the Luo Family.

Although they felt some discontent in their hearts, they also knew that this was an immutable reality.

After all, their actions were indeed driven by the influence of that mysterious force, leaving them little choice.

Furthermore, the mysterious force was now sealed, and they had acknowledged their misstep.

Thus, they could only accept the punishment and start anew.

Meanwhile, the Luo Family did not lower their guard because of this matter.

They were well aware that while the black hole was sealed, it did not mean that it was completely safe.

After all, an immensely powerful force still resided within the black hole.

If the seal were to loosen, the mysterious force would once again wreak havoc.

Thus, they continued to monitor the state of the black hole in secret, ensuring that no further anomalies would occur.

At the same time, they strengthened their oversight and management of the other dynasties.

This was to ensure that those dynasties would not again succumb to the influence of the mysterious force and commit acts that could endanger the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

...

In the blink of an eye, about a month had passed.

During this month, the Northern Desolate Divine Continent had gradually returned to its former stability.

In the Qingmu Divine State, the Lin Family remained eerily quiet.

The Qin Family in the Southern Divine Continent also seemed to share this silence.

No one could say for certain whether this was due to the Blood God Palace or some other reason.

Yet, in any case, as these major powers returned to calm,

peace was slowly restored across the various Divine States.

...

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

In the chamber of the Luo Family Patriarch.

Seated calmly in the main seat was Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family.

Standing beside Luo Ping, Luo Yao abruptly rose and said quietly to Luo Ping, "Patriarch, the triennial Northern Desolate Divine Continent Auction hosted by our Luo Family in Qingshi City is about to begin."

"By then, numerous major factions from across the Northern Desolate Divine Continent will converge upon Qingshi City, where our Luo Family resides."

"Yes, I am already aware of this matter,"

Luo Ping nodded slightly and continued, "This auction is of great importance to us. Make sure everything is prepared meticulously so that nothing goes wrong."

The auction would bring together treasures from across the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

For many factions in the Divine States, it represented a rare opportunity.

For the Luo Family, it was also a rare chance to showcase their strength.

As the undisputed hegemon of the Northern Desolate Divine Continent, their power was exceedingly formidable.

The treasures and resources they controlled were equally abundant.

Therefore, in this auction, the Luo Family planned to put up some exceptionally rare treasures for bidding.

Luo Yao nodded and said, "Rest assured, Patriarch. I will personally handle this matter."

Luo Ping nodded slightly and said, "Very well."

After a brief pause, Luo Ping added, "By the way, I will personally attend the auction this time."

Hearing this, Luo Yao was momentarily stunned and asked, "Patriarch, you intend to personally attend the auction?"

Luo Ping nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Since this auction is of such significant importance to us, I must also be present to ensure that everything proceeds flawlessly."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao said no more and simply nodded in affirmation.

...

While the Luo Family of Qingshi City began preparations for the triennial auction,

in the Lin Family’s mansion in Qingmu Divine State,

within a secret chamber,

a middle-aged man dressed in a cyan robe sat cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the chamber.

His eyes were shut tight, seemingly focused on cultivating something.

Just then, an elderly man clad in gray robes hurriedly entered.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as the gray-robed elder stepped into the chamber, he called out to the cyan-robed middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man in cyan robes slowly opened his eyes and directed a sharp gaze at the elder, asking in a deep voice, "What happened to cause such panic?"

The gray-robed elder took a deep breath and replied, "Patriarch, we just received news that the Luo Family in Qingshi City is hosting their triennial auction."

The cyan-robed middle-aged man’s brows knitted slightly upon hearing this.

He was, of course, aware that the Luo Family in Qingshi City held such auctions every three years.

And each time, the auctions drew major factions from across the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

This time would clearly be no exception.

However, he could not understand why the gray-robed elder was so flustered.

"Doesn’t their auction happen every three years? What is there to be alarmed about?"

The cyan-robed middle-aged man asked.

The gray-robed elder gave a bitter smile and said, "Patriarch, this time, the auction is somewhat different from the previous ones."
