Chapter 915: Bidding Competition (2/2)

“It can indeed be considered as a puppet. However…” Tang Dongling hesitated for a moment. However, she ultimately said, “Perhaps this thing requires a special control method. Otherwise, it seems difficult to activate it…”

“Unable to activate?”

Many people were stunned upon hearing these words. Soon after, they laughed. What was the point of buying this thing if it was impossible to control? Could it be that one intended to use it as a shield?

“Yan, this thing can’t be controlled?” Lin Dong immediately asked in his heart.

“Others are indeed unable to control it… this is because they do not possess the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Only the owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol can control it.” Yan said.

“In other words, only you alone in this entire world can control the ‘Devouring Sky Corpse’…”

Lin Dong involuntarily licked his lips upon hearing this. The excitement deep within his eyes became even more intense.

Chen Ying from the Illusionary Demon Sect frowned because of Tang Dongling’s words. He stared at the black corpse, and could vaguely sense that this thing was not so simple.

“Let the auction begin. The auction price is five million Xuan Yuan pills.” Tang Dongling smiled and said.

“Five million… it’s too expensive…”

“How can a puppet that cannot be controlled be worth this price?”

“That’s right…”

Some dissatisfied voices spread from the auction ground after her words sounded. It was likely that they believed this price was a little high.

However, their dissatisfaction clearly had little effect. Hence, it became a lot quieter after the noises continued for some time. This silence continued for awhile, before someone finally opened his mouth and said, “Five million one hundred thousand.”

This person who had spoken seemed to be quite hesitant. After all, this sum was not small.

Another dozen or so people began to bid after him. However, the price still remained below six million.

“Six million five hundred thousand.”

Chen Ying from the Illusionary Demon Sect suddenly spoke out at this moment. These people quickly shrunk back at his appearance. It was likely that they did not wish to compete with the former.

“Seven million.” Lin Dong watched this scene, before finally sighing as he opened his mouth.

Whoosh.

Lin Dong’s voice had just sounded, when countless pairs of eyes shot over. Even Tang Dongling on the stage looked at him in astonishment. It was likely that she did not understand why he would bid for this black corpse.

Moreover, she also understood Lin Dong a little. He did not have many Xuan Yuan pills. According to the rules, he was not really allowed to bid. However, she did not say anything at this moment. It was likely that Lin Dong was aware of what he was doing…

“Seven million five hundred thousand.” Chen Ying glanced at Lin Dong, before speaking with a frown.

“Eight million.” Lin Dong was helpless. His expression did not change as he continued to raise the bid. This price was actually approaching his limit. After all, he did not have much Xuan Yuan pills to spend. Eight million was already his limit.

The price was already quite high after reaching this stage. Even Chen Ying had begun hesitating a little. After all, his true aim was not this unknown black corpse, and this expenditure was too great. Hence, he eventually shook his head and gave up on competing.

Lin Dong’s heart immediately sighed in relief after seeing this. Before he could completely relax however, a playful laughter was emitted from the front.

“Nine million.”

Lin Dong’s expression sunk. He lifted his head, and saw a mocking Xie Yan staring at him from the front. This person seemed to be targeting him…

“Nine million going once. Is there any higher bid?” Tang Dongling quietly sighed in her heart. It seemed that this Xie Yan intended to cause trouble for Lin Dong. However, she was helpless in response to this. All she could do was continue the auction.

Lin Dong’s eyes became dark, as both of his hands involuntarily clenched tightly under his sleeves. A murderous intent faintly surged within his heart.

Lin Dong fists tightened more and more.

“Nine million thrice…”

However, a somewhat young voice suddenly sounded before Tang Dongling’s final words were uttered.

“Ten million.”
