Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Raise the Price Again

As Qin Chuan called out a bid of ten billion, the once boisterous auction hall immediately fell into silence.

All eyes turned to the Murong Family’s VIP room en masse, but separated by the window, no one could see Qin Chuan.

Only through the loudspeaker outside the VIP room, could they know that the one who shouted ten billion was a young man.

"Holy shit! Can someone really dare to compete with Jiang Chenlong for the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree?"

The auction hall remained quiet for a full thirty seconds before someone spoke with a face full of surprise.

"The voice came from the Murong Family VIP room, could it be some young master of the Murong Family?"

"This doesn’t make sense! The Premium Auction House itself belongs to the Murong Family business, if the Murong Family really wanted the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, they wouldn’t have allowed it to be auctioned in public."

...

Once someone started, others began to chime in.

Everyone was very surprised; the Jiang Family may only be a mid-ranking powerhouse among the Nine Gates of Yandu, but just Jiang Chenlong alone brought endless possibilities to the future of the Jiang Family.

You must know that Jiang Chenlong is only forty-five years old, yet his cultivation has already reached the Energizing Skill Peak Realm.

Once Jiang Chenlong breaks through to the King Realm and becomes the Family Head of the Jiang Family, their status among the Nine Gates of Yandu will instantly rise, possibly even surpassing the strongest, the Ye Family.

It was for this reason that when Jiang Chenlong expressed his need for the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, the others from the Nine Gates of Yandu withdrew from the auction.

But now, the one Family that should least be involved in the auction, the Murong Family, had actually joined in, leaving many people extremely surprised and perplexed.

Jiang Chenlong made no attempt to hide his anger, as the aura of someone at the Energizing Skill Peak Realm burst forth instantly and pressured towards the Murong Family’s VIP room.

At that moment, the auction hall capable of accommodating hundreds of people seemed enveloped in a cloud of darkness, the terrifying pressure causing a suffocating feeling in everyone present.

"Murong Family, what is the meaning of this?"

Jiang Chenlong’s eyes fixed deathly on the direction of the Murong Family VIP room as he spoke with an extremely forceful attitude, "To raise the transaction price of the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, have you no shame left?"

"If you don’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me, Jiang Chenlong, for being rude to you!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As Jiang Chenlong’s voice fell, the glass of the Jiang Family VIP room was instantly shattered by the force emanating from him.

"Brother Jiang, calm your anger! Please, calm your anger!"

Just then, an urgent voice suddenly rang out.

The crowd looked over and saw a middle-aged figure with a beaming smile appear in the auction hall.

"This is Third Master Murong Jing of the Murong Family!"

"It is said that the head of the Murong Family met with trouble, and Murong Jing is about to take over the position of Family Head."

"How come he’s here as well?"

...

The appearance of Murong Jing once again stirred the scene.

It was already a rare event for the Nine Gates of Yandu to send representatives to attend the auction.

Now that the heir of the Jiang Family had personally arrived, it was unexpected that Murong Jing, who was about to take over the position of the Family Head of the Murong Family, had also come.

Jiang Chenlong stared coldly at Murong Jing and said in a frosty voice, "Murong Jing, give me an explanation!"

Murong Jing frowned; he had already given Jiang Chenlong a lot of face, and yet Jiang Chenlong called him by his full name.

Although it was just a title, he was already at a disadvantage.

Despite feeling angry inside, Murong Jing still said, "Brother Jiang misunderstands! Friends who can come to the Premium Auction are all honored guests of the Murong Family; how could we possibly compete with a guest?"

Jiang Chenlong’s expression finally improved a bit, and with a cold snort, he said, "Given that, shouldn’t the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree be sold to me for six hundred million?"

"Haha, naturally!"

Murong Jing hurriedly responded, then frowned at the beautiful auctioneer and scolded, "Well, aren’t you going to announce that Brother Jiang has successfully won the bid for the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree?"

It was only then that the beautiful auctioneer came to her senses, cautiously glancing in the direction of the Murong Family VIP Room.

Although she was just an auctioneer, she knew that all matters of the auction were under the management of Murong Mingyue.

Seeing the auctioneer’s lack of response, Murong Jing roared, "You damned fool, can’t you understand what I’m saying?"

Right when the beautiful auctioneer was about to speak, a cold voice came from the direction of the Murong Family VIP Room, "Third Uncle, since when is it your turn to intervene in the auction house’s affairs?"

The window of the Murong Family VIP Room opened, revealing an extraordinarily beautiful yet icy face.

Murong Mingyue didn’t hide her anger as she stared coldly at Murong Jing in question.

This scene left the entire audience in shock.

"What a beautiful woman! Not only is she gorgeous, but she is also formidable. Worthy of being the Murong Family’s Business Queen!"

"Is Murong Mingyue really this tough? To not even give Murong Jing face?"

"Why do I feel something is off? Even if Murong Mingyue has a high position, could she rank above Murong Jing?"

...

Murong Mingyue’s assertive attitude sparked a flurry of discussions among the crowd.

"What did you say?"

Murong Jing was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, becoming enraged as he said, "You still know I’m your Third Uncle?"

"As the person in charge of the Murong Family Auction House, is this how you do business?"

"I warn you, give up competing with Brother Jiang immediately."

Murong Mingyue gave Murong Jing a scornful glance, and not to mention that Murong Jing wasn’t even the Family Head of the Murong Family yet, even if he had been, she would dare to be just as tough.

All because she could bring tremendous benefits to the Murong Family.

Murong Mingyue no longer paid attention to Murong Jing, instead, she turned to look at Jiang Chenlong not far away and said coldly, "Jiang Sir, as the heir to the Jiang Family, don’t you even understand the principle that the higher bid wins?"

"Or is it that you truly don’t have enough money to acquire the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree, and so you plan to bully others into giving up by throwing your weight around?"

As these words were spoken, the entire room was stunned!

Although Jiang Chenlong was young, with his Energizing Skill Peak Realm cultivation, he could make any of the Nine Gates of Yandu’s Family Heads treat him as an equal.

Murong Mingyue, only a third-generation member of the Murong Family, even dared to speak to Jiang Chenlong with such an attitude?

Murong Jing became even angrier, yelling, "You little shit, shut your mouth! Apologize to Brother Jiang immediately!"

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Jiang Chenlong’s eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of admiration in his gaze as he looked at Murong Mingyue and said, "Quite brave, much stronger than your uncle there."

Murong Jing’s eyes widened, never expecting Jiang Chenlong to make such a statement publicly.

It was an outright insult.

Jiang Chenlong stared at Murong Mingyue and asked, "You say I don’t have enough money to acquire the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree? And that I bully people by throwing my weight around?"

Murong Mingyue felt a knot of panic inside, but she still suppressed the fear in her heart and said with a resolute face, "Isn’t that the case?"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Chenlong suddenly laughed, then with an air of arrogance, he said, "Twelve hundred million, the Ksitigarbha Sacred Tree is mine!"
