1326 A Loose Tongue May Cause A Lot of Troubles (2/2)
The old man's expression changed and his expression turned hesitant. Then, he turned to the reticent attendant of the shop and said in a deep voice, ”You also know the Immortal World's custom that a treasure that is seen and fancied by many people goes to the highest bidder, right?”
The shop assistant nodded and said, ”That's right. Would you like it to be tendered?”
”That's right. I'd like to have it tendered.” The old man firmly said, ”The price of the Octagems Golden Lotus Minaret is 2 million Immortal Crystals. I bid 2.1 million for it.”
Eastberg shouted angrily, ”Hey, old bastard, you dare to show off your wealth to me? You're really looking to be abused here. I bid 3 million Immortal Crystals for this Octagems Golden Lotus Minaret!”
The old man slightly frowned and followed coldly. ”Four million.”
Eastberg shouted, ”5 million.”
The old man's frown went deeper. After a long silence, he slowly said, ”5.5 million Immortal Crystals. That's all I can take out. If you can bid higher, you can have this Octagems Golden Lotus Minaret.”
Eastberg's face turned black. Although he was very rich, the elder of his family, who was a senior official of the Vast Martial Sect, usually gave him many Immortal Crystals, but all he had on him now was only 6 million Immortal Crystals. If he were to take out so many Immortal Crystals all of a sudden, he would be dirt poor for the next hundred years.
However, if he didn't obtain it, he would lose face in front of this old bastard. He wouldn't be able to lift his head up high for many years once today's matter was to be spread out.
”5.6 million Immortal Crystals!” Eastberg gritted his teeth and shouted sharply.
The old man looked bitter and shook his head before he turned around to leave.
”6 million Immortal Crystals.”
Nearby, Tang Xiu slightly chuckled and immediately went towards them. The old man who was just about to leave suddenly had a change in expression and immediately refrained from leaving, looking at Tang Xiu with a surprised face.
Tang Xiu glanced at the shop assistant and smilingly said, ”Facing such a treasure, the one who bids the highest will get it, isn't that right?”
”You're right.” The shop assistant smiled.
Tang Xiu then shifted to Eastberg and asked, ”You want to continue bidding? If you don't, then this Octagems Golden Lotus Minaret artifact is mine. If you keep bidding, I'll continue to increase the bid as well.”
Eastberg never dreamed that someone would disrupt him halfway. He glared at Tang Xiu fiercely and angrily shouted, ”Just from where this dogshit came? Do you even think you're qualified to compete with this Big Daddy? Are you tired of living already?”
Slap!
Tang Xiu moved lightning-fast, slapped his face, and sent him flying tens of meters away before the guy heavily fell on the floor. He then sneered and said, ”Daring to act so arrogantly in front of me? You're the first of those who dare to insult me and have not died yet. Beware.”
”F*CK! You dare to hit someone from the Vast Martial Sect? You really are tired of living, aren't you!” The Earth Immortal expert of the Vast Martial Sect angrily roared and attacked, and the other three beside him also unleashed their immortal swords with postures ready to go all out.
”You know, I didn't kill you to give face to the owner of this shop.” Tang Xiu sneered. ”But since you're looking for death, then let me fulfill your wish.”
Just as his voice faded away, a streak of light was shot and instantly hit the four people, directly killing them without them being able to block or evade it.
The one who took action was Battle Peng.
The shop assistant wanted to stop him, but he was too late and could only helplessly watch the four people be killed. He hurriedly shouted, ”Hey, you're not allowed to kill anyone in our shop!”
After Battle Peng killed the four people in a flash, he didn't stop moving and quickly beheaded Eastberg and punched his body into a pulp. Only then did he look satisfied and said, ”My Master already gave you face and only slapped this guy. Yet they insisted on courting their own deaths, so we had no choice but to act accordingly.”
”You guys…”
The shop assistant was furious.
Tang Xiu coldly stared at him and overbearingly said, ”What's wrong? We killed them and that's it. What's the big deal? Just some ants and you want to bother about such a trivial thing? Your Phantasmagoric House is running a business here but pokes your nose in others' business often, you may easily provoke troubles for yourself. You had better shut the hell up and deal with me directly!”
Whoosh!
A figure flickered and instantly appeared before everyone lightning fast. The figure was a man with a refined and gentle scholarly aura holding a fan and shaking it. He glanced at the four bodies on the floor and said indifferently, ”What you just said does have some truth to it, Mister. But the custom of our Phantasmagoric House must never be broken. We have no choice but to meddle in unless you have the strength to shake us off.”
”I can kill you within 2 breaths. Do you believe it or not?” Battle Peng sneered.
The middle-aged man was also a Golden Immortal, but his complexion changed when he sensed the aura instantly released by Battle Peng. He lightly smiled and said, ”Just one Golden Immortal is perhaps not enough to scare off Phantasmagoric House, mind you.”
