Chapter 172: The Start of the Auction
By this point, Phoenix City was a city full of the rich and the poor mixed together because of the news of the Class 5 Beast. It had not only attracted the influential people from the city, but the outside powers as well.
At the same time, the area around the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House had become strange. Almost every day, various dressed up people would linger around the auction house, and there would always be a pair of eyes closely watching people enter and exit the auction house.
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House had tried to keep the matter of what exactly was being sold a secret, it was like trying to contain a fire with paper. After every influential power had looked into the matter, most of the details about the two Class 5 Magical Beasts and their origins had been found out by the day before the auction.
There were two Class 5 Magical Beasts bodies without their monster cores and a mysterious man that had to be an Earth Saint Master at the very least.
This was all the information that every influential power could find out.
Although this was something outside of their expectations, it didn’t weaken their excitement over the Class 5 Magical Beasts.
In a restaurant in Phoenix City, a few middle aged men sat gathered together in a somewhat cramped room.
“Keep looking! I order everyone to look into this! We must find out who is responsible for these two Class 5 Magical Beasts! The Class 5 Monster Cores are definitely with him! Tomorrow when the auction starts, that man will definitely show up, so have someone look at anyone that enters the auction house closely!” A white robed, middle aged man commanded.
…….
In a luxurious manor in Phoenix City, a dignified person looked down over the other middle aged men and elders sitting at the table. “Right now, the news of the Class 5 Magical Beast has already been confirmed. Although they’re only the bodies without the monster cores, their prices will still be very high. It is said that eating the meat of a Class 5 Magical Beast is said to increase one’s strength majorly. Even the blood of a Class 5 Magical Beast can strengthen the inner organs, something like that could even benefit an Earth Saint Master. So, we definitely need to purchase those two Class 5 Magical Beasts at all costs, and even if we can’t get both of them, then we need to get at least one.”
“Also, the two Class 5 Monster Cores should still be on that person. Class 5 Monster Cores are even more precious than the bodies, and are very hard to come across in Phoenix City. Our Huangpu Clan must obtain them at all costs. Tomorrow, you all will bring some men over and find out who is auctioning off the magical beasts.”
“My lord, although the reports said that the person who got the Class 5 Magical Beasts wasn’t a strong individual, the fact that he was able to obtain them in the first place is proof that this situation isn’t as simple as we thought. I am guessing that there is a high level expert supporting him.” Another white haired elder said respectfully.
“Not possible!” The standing middle aged man said. “The news we received was very clear-cut. These two Class 5 Magical Beasts died from battling each other before being collected. Judging from the man-made injuries inflicted onto the two when the monster cores were extracted, then that person isn’t strong at all, so everyone’s concerns aren’t necessary.”
