Chapter 272 - 272 272 Plotting Against Ancient Sword Gate

272: Chapter 272: Plotting Against Ancient Sword Gate 272: Chapter 272: Plotting Against Ancient Sword Gate “What is this thing?”

Everyone looked at the iron cage that was over two people high and began to guess.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look!”

At this moment, Lu Xuanming reached out and grabbed the curtain, pulling it away, revealing the true face of the iron cage to everyone.

Inside the cage was a demonic beast more than a person high, bound by several thick iron chains around its limbs and neck.

The beast was a silver-colored demon ape, with clear flashes of thunder and lightning in its eyes.

“Silver Thunder Demon Ape!”

Long Yan instantly recognized the demonic beast inside the cage.

This was a silver thunder demon ape, only at the Profound First Rank and less than half a year old.

The bloodline of the Silver Thunder Demon Ape was not low; it was a descendant of the Thunderbolt Battle Ape and had the potential to break through to the Demon God realm when it grew up.

In the Emperor Domain, such a bloodline beast was not considered much, but in the Shenwu Continent, it was considered a rare breed.

Everyone’s eyes brightened as they looked at the Silver Thunder Demon Ape.

Such a bloodline beast was extremely rare.

If it could be cultivated properly, it would undoubtedly be a powerful assistant.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a young Silver Thunder Demon Ape with the potential to become a Demon God.

It has been subdued and tamed.

The Silver Thunder Demon Ape’s growth rate is very fast.

As long as it has enough resources, in just a few years, it can break through to the Demon King realm, and within a maximum of ten years, it can reach the Ninth-grade Demon King realm.

This is a rare opportunity!”

Lu Xuanming explained and immediately said, “The starting price is 5 million medium-grade spirit stones, let the auction begin!”

“5,300,000!”

Feng Wanli began to raise the price.

The potential of the Silver Thunder Demon Ape was enormous, and it had already been subdued and tamed.

As long as resources were provided for cultivation, it would become a super expert in less than ten years.

“5,500,000!”

Gu Yunxiao also began raising the price, wanting to obtain the Silver Thunder Demon Ape.

It was no exaggeration to say that although the Silver Thunder Demon Ape was only at the Profound level now, its value was not lower than a Heavenly Spiritual Device.

“5,700,000.”

“6,000,000.”

…

Immediately after, Zhuge Qianzhong, Wu Kuangyun, and Leng Qianqiu successively raised the price.

As for the King Giant Ape, there were no movements, and it seemed that it was not planning to waste financial resources on the Silver Thunder Demon Ape.

“Are demonic beasts so popular?”

Long Yan raised an eyebrow, and the corner of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.

He had control over the ability to tame beasts, which could be developed into a stable money-making route if the right connections were made.

“Third Brother, this Silver Thunder Demon Ape has a high bloodline.

When cultivated, it would be very suitable to guard the Long Family.”

Long Chen suggested bidding on the Silver Thunder Demon Ape.

If the Silver Thunder Demon Ape reached the level of a Ninth-grade Demon King, it could secure the Long Family’s defenses.

“It’s just a Silver Thunder Demon Ape.

To cultivate it, a large amount of resources would be required.

It’d be better to directly subdue a few Demon Kings.”

Long Yan didn’t think much of it.

With his abilities, he could tame a few Demon Kings.

Besides, he still had a pure-blooded beast egg in his hands, which was a descendant of the Twelve Wing Sky Wolf’s bloodline, far above the Silver Thunder Demon Ape in many levels.

An hour later, the Five Great Powers had raised the price to 10 million medium-grade spirit stones.

The high price was somewhat beyond everyone’s expectations.

In the end, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect bought the Silver Thunder Demon Ape at a high price of 13,500,000.

“Ladies and gentlemen, there are still four of the ten finale items left.

The seventh treasure to be auctioned off is a Heavenly Spiritual Device.”

Lu Xuanming announced loudly.

“Heavenly Spiritual Device!”

Upon hearing this, the entire auction room boiled with excitement.

A Heavenly Spiritual Device was a great treasure, found only among the major forces.

With a Heavenly Spiritual Device in hand, one’s combat power would definitely soar, easily suppressing those of the same level.

“At all costs, we must win this Heavenly Spiritual Device.”

Gu Yunxiao was becoming anxious.

Among the six-sided powers, only Ancient Sword Gate hadn’t obtained an ultimate treasure.

If they didn’t get one now, they would become a laughing stock.

So, even if it cost them dearly, he had to win this Heavenly Spiritual Device at the auction.

“Fat Cat, let’s make Ancient Sword Gate bleed more.”

Long Yan smiled faintly.

Without thinking, he knew that Gu Yunxiao was losing his temper at this moment.

Now was the best time to take advantage of Ancient Sword Gate.

“Hehe, Tiger Lord has been waiting for this moment!”

Fat Cat licked his lips, a thick, sinister smile rising in his tiger eyes.

By now, Lu Xuanming had brought out the Heavenly Spiritual Device, a claw-shaped spirit artifact.

“This Heavenly Spiritual Device is called the Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

Its quality is extremely high, and if combined with a set of claw-based combat skills, its power is terrifying.”

Lu Xuanming gave a brief introduction to the Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

Attacks from claw-type weapons were already quite terrifying, let alone when they were a Heavenly Spiritual Device.

“Ah, a Heavenly Spiritual Device.

If the Five Great Powers don’t make a move, maybe I could still compete…

sigh…”

“I wonder which power will end up with this Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

With the Lanling Martial Arts Conference approaching, if we can obtain a Heavenly Spiritual Device in advance, we might be able to shine at the conference.”

“Ancient Sword Gate hasn’t won an ultimate treasure yet, so they probably won’t let go of this Heavenly Spiritual Device.”

In the hall, many people wanted to win the Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw, but it was clear that the Five Great Powers would not give them a chance.

Even if they participated in the bidding, it would be meaningless.

“Starting bid is five million medium-grade spirit stones, let the auction begin!”

Then, Lu Xuanming announced the start of the auction.

“Six million!”

As soon as Lu Xuanming finished speaking, Gu Yunxiao’s voice came from the VIP room.

“Six million and fifty thousand.”

“Six million and eighty thousand.”

“…”

Zhuge Qianzhong, Wu Kuangyun, Feng Wanli, and Leng Qianqiu were unwilling to show weakness and started to raise their bids.

The price skyrocketed in a short period of time, exceeding ten million in an hour.

Zhuge Qianzhong, Wu Kuangyun, Feng Wanli, and Leng Qianqiu all knew that Gu Yunxiao was determined to win the Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

They all kept close pursuit, intent on making Ancient Sword Gate pay a heavy price.

Gu Yunxiao’s expression was ugly, but he was determined to win the Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

“Fifteen million!”

After another round of bidding, Gu Yunxiao gritted his teeth and raised the price directly to fifteen million.

At this, Zhuge Qianzhong, Wu Kuangyun, Feng Wanli, and Leng Qianqiu all stopped raising their bids.

The high price of fifteen million made Ancient Sword Gate bleed quite heavily.

“Hahaha, Ancient Sword Gate is indeed rich and extravagant.

I, Pill King Hall, give up on this Heaven Defying Soul Hook Claw.

Elder Gu, congratulations!”

Zhuge Qianzhong laughed loudly, his sarcasm very obvious.

“Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect gives up the bidding.”

“Martial God Palace congratulates Ancient Sword Gate on gaining a Heavenly Spiritual Device.”

“Elder Gu, congratulations.”

Immediately after, Wu Kuangyun, Feng Wanli, and Leng Qianqiu spoke one after another, stating their withdrawal from the bidding, their voices full of mockery.

At this moment, Gu Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The price was a bit high, but it was within his acceptance range.

Lu Xuanming’s heart blossomed with joy.

He wished for nothing more than for the Five Great Powers to raise the price to the sky.

He said with a smile, “In that case, this Heavenly Spiritual Device belongs to…”

“Fifteen million and one medium-grade spirit stones.”

Just as Lu Xuanming was about to say the words “Ancient Sword Gate”, Fat Cat’s voice abruptly rang out.
