Xue Ying’s expression changed slightly. He merely wanted to carry out a transaction. Furthermore, the conditions he provided was incredibly good too! In order to prevent the other party from getting resentful, Xue Ying even deliberately transmitted under cover to prevent it from leaking to others.
“Zhi ya.” The pavilion doors opened.
A green-robed female attendant came out. This female attendant gave Xue Ying a look with a frown: “This God Monarch, the auction is currently still in progress. Please do not disturb the VIPs inside the pavilion.”
Xue Ying gave the pavilion a glance before leaving.
This female attendant watched Xue Ying off before returning to the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion.
There was currently a figure garbed in loose black gown. He was covered in green scales with a warped scaly face. He looked relatively ugly and had a pair of amber eyes that were filled with killing intent. He coldly stared at that green-robed female attendant who walked in. Even though the female attendant was filled with deference, she remained calm. They were attendants of the Heaven’s Will Pavilion. Even though they had to treat their VIPs with respect, the VIPs did not dare to act against these attendants.
“That God Monarch Azure Cloud has left.” The female attendant reported.
“Hmph. The Heaven’s Will Pavilion should have kept the information of all VIPs participating in the auction a secret. How did he find out that I am the one who bought those three scriptures earlier?” That black-robed figure growled. His amber eyes glared at the green-robed attendant.
In reply, the green-robed female attendant said solemnly: “God Emperor, the reputation of my Heaven’s Will Pavilion is unquestionable. We are located in practically every city across the Divine Realm, and have never revealed information on our VIPs. As for the reason why God Emperor’s information got leaked to the God Monarch, it should be because the God Monarch has some methods of tracing your identity. This is totally unrelated to my Heaven’s Will Pavilion! So I pray for God Emperor not to mention this doubtful matter which implicates the reputation and honor of my Heaven’s Will Pavilion.”
The black-robed figure snorted and did not say anymore.
He was clear about how much emphasis the Heaven’s Will Pavilion placed on their reputation. Why would they leak any private information then? And even if they did, it would not happen so quickly.
‘A God Monarch?’ The black-robed figure looked down at the auction that was currently happening. Though at the same time, many thoughts flashed through his mind, ‘The strength of the God Monarch is weak. He should not be able to trace me down. There should be a God Emperor behind his back. Unless there is another God Emperor other than the Tyrant Blood Brothers who is also chasing after me?’
Those amber eyes of that black figure were filled with slight suspicion.
‘Damn! No matter what, I have gotten the <Golden Fire Undying Body>. With reference from this cultivation scripture, I believe I will be able to refine and control the Black Gold Pearl soon. By then, could the Tyrant Blood Brothers handle me?’ The eyes of the black-robed figure flashed with coldness, ‘Hmph hmph, regardless if another God Emperor has targeted I, Bu Ya, the person who has the final laugh will still be me.’
Even though he had this thinking, the eyes of the black figure still became colder. It was clear that he was feeling pressure. After all, he was not clear how powerful the God Emperor behind that ‘God Monarch Azure Cloud’ was.
Usually, most who cultivated their Chaotic Origin bloodlines were not good at tracing down a target. Of course, there were some incredibly terrifying God Emperors who were quite good at tracing a target down! ‘God Emperor Bu Ya’ felt that such an existence should not be scheming against him because he would obediently give in if the other party ordered him to.
‘I believe the God Emperor behind this person called God Monarch Azure Cloud should not be so much stronger than me! At the most, he specializes in tracing.’ God Emperor Bu Ya thought.
But little did he know that Xue Ying, as a cultivator of laws and profound mysteries, had tracing capabilities comparable to some late stage God Emperors.
…
Returning to his pavilion.
Xue Ying went to his seat before the long table. He took in a cup of wine. The female attendant by his side immediately poured more wine for him.
‘That person who successfully bidded for the three original scriptures including the <Void Devil Insect Scripture> should be a madman.’ Xue Ying was starting to feel frustrated. He felt that the other party was too ‘drastic’. Nonetheless, Xue Ying did not know that the other party was ‘a bird frightened by the twang of a bow’. Xue Ying went over sincerely to conduct a transaction, yet the other party felt he was ‘revealed’. As a result, that God Emperor was alarmed and uneasy.
Of course if the God Emperor was calm, he would definitely trade with Xue Ying.
But a ‘bird frightened by the twang of a bow’ would definitely increase his guard against any forms of threat!
‘In the end, I failed to acquire the <Void Devil Insect Scripture> after participating in the auction of Heaven’s Will Pavilion this round.’ Xue Ying felt slightly disappointed. He flipped through the scroll stipulating the order of treasures appearing. After all, an auction at this level would not happen frequently in the Divine Realm.
It’s just that most of the treasures in this auction were greatly attractive to natives of the Divine Realm; they were not that appealing to Xue Ying!
‘I shall take this then.’ Xue Ying marked down a treasure.
