Chapter 768 - I’ll Be the One Behind the Scenes (2/2)

The City Lord could only be considered as a catalyst.

What he needed to do was to let that catalyst play its role.

At that moment, the auction had already started as usual. The first item to be auctioned was a chaos fruit. It contained some power of laws that could allow an expert at the level of a holy senior to further increase their cultivation.

However, it did not have much of an effect on an existence at the level of a peak Sacred Sovereign.

Using it to exchange for some other resources was quite worth it. Moreover, it was one of those very popular products. Once it came out, it was wildly snatched up by many people. In the blink of an eye, it was auctioned off by a cultivator of the Sacred Sovereign with seven apertures.

The second item auctioned off was a sacred weapon.

However, it could only be considered the most basic sacred weapon.

Ye Xiao estimated that since he had already advanced to the Celestial Sovereign realm, it was time to exchange for a new weapon.

The weapon used by those above the Celestial Sovereign realm should be a celestial weapon, right?

Looks like he needed to find time to level up the Great Dragon and raise his attributes a little.

He looked at the auction while thinking about his next actions.

On the high platform, a few figures stared at the auction below and nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad! The auction is progressing very smoothly. At this rate, I reckon that we’ll obtain enough resources today to help the City Lord advance further.”

“It’s time for us to catch up with some good stuff. We can’t keep up with these useless things. Everyone’s interest has already been hyped up. We can’t waste them.”

“Alright!”

At that moment, the auction had already passed the first stage and was entering the middle stage. The items auctioned were also much better. Some of the items could even be considered rare and authentic.

At that moment, the number of people shouting for the auction was no longer as many as before.

Perhaps it was because the prices of those items were higher. It was not something that an ordinary person could easily afford.

After a few rounds of auction, Ye Xiao finally saw an existence that came from the same universe as him, the archaic Dragon Emperor.

However, he was not the only one. Other than him, there were a few others who should have escaped with him.

Unfortunately, they were unfortunately captured by others, resulting in them becoming prisoners at the auction.

It was also a pity.

Looking at their appearance, they were very depressed. Their eyes were filled with thick despair. It was likely that they would not have any hope in this lifetime.

However, Ye Xiao would not sympathize with them. They had betrayed their universe and ended up in this state. Everything was their own doing.

“The few people auctioned below are dragons, phoenixes, and other alien races from other universes. Their strength is basically at the Sacred Sovereign with 12 apertures. Although they are heavily injured, the sacred blood in their bodies is still there.

“If we buy them back and refine them a little to strengthen our physiques, it would be very good.”

After saying that, the people below the stage could not help but start to boil.

“It’s actually the physique of a dragon and a phoenix. This is good stuff.”

“If we can absorb them, it should be of great benefit to our aptitude.”

“Usually, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to obtain some of the alien bloodlines. And even if we do, it’s only some extremely ordinary alien bloodlines.

“This time, it’s actually some Sacred Sovereigns with twelve apertures. It can be said to be very rare.”

“However, they’re all heavily injured, so they probably don’t have much sacred blood left in their bodies. Otherwise, the City Lord of Spirit Nether City wouldn’t have put them up for auction. Instead, he would have kept them for himself.

“If you want to buy them, you should still treat them with caution.”

Everyone was originally quite enthusiastic, but after hearing that rational analysis, they all began to speculate.

It sounded like that was indeed the case.

The auction began very quickly, but the crowd was not as excited as they had been before.

The enthusiasm for the auction was not high, and there were very few bids.

At that moment, the people from the Lord of Heaven were secretly delighted.

That was because if the others did not bid much and only they did, then they would be able to take down these fellows at a very low price and then return to report to the Lord.

At the same time, they could also covet some resources from them.

It was really the blessing of the heavens.

Hence, the people from the Lord of Heaven quickly began to bid.

There were very few other competitors and the scene instantly fell into a passive state.

Ye Xiao could not help but narrow his eyes slightly and did not have the slightest worry.

Actually, the one who had said those words earlier was not anyone else but him.

He was deliberately trying to get rid of the others first. That was because the main target of the Lord of Heaven was the archaic Dragon Emperor and the others. Only by revealing the Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi’s plans alone would it be easier to create friction.

After the Lord of Heaven’s people called out the price, other than a few individuals and a few others, there was no one else who called out the price.

Due to that reason, even the others were too embarrassed to raise the price.

Why?

If no one else raised the bid and only the auctioneer raised the bid, it would be easy for others to see through it. If the other party suddenly stopped bidding, the auction would be ruined.

At that time, they would be in deep trouble.

As such, no one dared to speak carelessly.

Even though the auctioneer on the stage was unwilling to sell the bid at such a low price, they had no choice but to allow the people of the Lord of Heaven to successfully bid.

At that crucial moment, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.

“The people of the Lord of Heaven’s sacred hall sure has some tricks up their sleeves. The words that they had just spoken had caused everyone to be afraid of bidding. Yet, in the blink of an eye, you guys had bought it all by yourselves. Isn’t this a huge bargain?”

The moment those words were spoken, everyone’s faces could not help but change.

“What does that mean? Are we being scammed?”

“Speaking of which, it seems like only the members of the Lord of Heaven’s sacred hall are trying to raise the price.”

“Could it be that these alien bloodlines have other good items?”

“No matter what, we can’t let them succeed so easily.”

The faces of the Sacred Sovereigns of the Lord of Heaven turned green.

The ducks in their hands had flown a distance away in the blink of an eye, and they might not even be able to catch them anymore. One could imagine how furious they were!

“Who’s speaking nonsense?”
