Chapter 1336 - Auction (1/2)
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
On this day.
Sacred World, within Scarlet Cloud City, many cultivators came one after another to Xue Ying’s cavern-dwelling.
“This way please.”
“Please.”
The puppet guards by the entrance of the cavern-dwelling led the way. There were also several other female puppet servants responsible for pointing the right direction. For the sake of this auction, Xue Ying had relied on his Mirage Cosmos to create a dozen or so puppets.
“This Brother Flying Snow seems to have quite a few puppets.”
“Since he could bring the corpse of Chaotic Origin Lifeform over, he must be very wealthy. Hence, purchasing some puppets is naturally not worth mentioning with regards to it.”
Cultivators gathered in groups of two or three as they walked and chatted. Experts that were gathered in Scarlet Cloud City came from many different worlds. It was natural for some specializing in refining puppets to exist! Just refining these Void God puppets… could easily be done by quite a few experts in the city. It’s just that collecting the materials within Sacred City was slightly more troublesome.
“Please stop!”
“Please stop!”
By the entrance of the cavern-dwelling, two puppet guards abruptly shouted over at that thin and small old man who was about to enter.
“Why? Did Flying Snow not say that he is holding an auction publicly, allowing the experts in the Scarlet Cloud City vie for it? Why is he not allowing me to enter now?” The thin and small old man ‘Xie Fan’ chuckled.
“Master has ordered to forbid you from entering!” A puppet guard coldly shouted out.
“Xie Fan!”
A cold voice rumbled out from within the cavern-dwelling light thunder: “If you dare to step into my cavern-dwelling, I’ll simply throw you out again!”
Xie Fan’s expression shifted slightly.
The cavern-dwelling of each cultivator in the Scarlet Cloud City was a forbidden ground! Without the agreement of the master, it was absolutely forbidden to intrude into it! Throwing the intruder out was a minor matter, yet if the other party chose to resist and still barge into the place, they could simply kill this intruder! Because the cavern-dwelling was a place for cultivators to meditate and cultivator, the law of Scarlet Cloud City was set to guarantee absolute safety for every cultivator, and to prevent any sort of disturbances from happening.
“Very good.” Xie Fan turned around and left with a frosty expression.
When the other cultivators that were entering the cavern-dwelling saw this happening, they started gossiping about it.
“Previously, he relied on coercion tactics and now he still dares to come?”
“That Xie Fan is simply thick-skinned.”
“He is Xie Fan! In terms of shamelessness, he is ranked in the top few within the city.” These cultivators murmured between each other.
…
Xue Ying was currently within the garden receiving the incoming guests.
The garden occupied a region spanning 50 kilometers. There were more than a thousand tables with praying mats scattered across the place. Some were by the side of the lake, and some were at the body of the mountain! Cultivators that came to participate in the auction this time casually found a place to sit. They started drinking some of the good wine prepared by Xue Ying, waiting silently for the auction to begin! Those wine tasted slightly more ordinary. Xue Ying had simply created them from within the Mirage Cosmos. Hence, he had a huge amount of them!
“Brother Flying Snow, why did you not simply disregard that Xie Fan? He’ll definitely remember this vengeance.” A cultivator who was conversing with Xue Ying asked.
“Remember this vengeance? Previously, he threatened me to trade with him. At that time, we have already become enemies! Why do you think I’m still afraid of him?” Xue Ying shook his head with disdain, “But what is unexpected is for him to actually think of visiting my cavern-dwelling today after becoming enemies? What a joke.”
Reality speaking.
Xue Ying felt that this person called ‘Xie Fan’ was quite a marvel!
It was normal for some experts to be vicious and cruel. It was also fine that great devils were unscrupulous and ruthless. But this ‘Xie Fan’ was a two-faced person. He would usually backstab the other party without caring about his reputation. One had to know that the female expert that coerced Xue Ying earlier, ‘Mo Shu’, was too lazy to deal with him after Xue Ying forced her away. She was even too lazy to come participate in this auction!
Experts had their pride.
But Xie Fan… belonged to a category of those that did not have pride. He was someone nefarious!
When that cultivator saw this happening, he laughed: “Then you should be a little more careful. He isn’t someone you can provoke easily.”
“I understand. Many thanks, Brother You Ya.” Xue Ying chuckled.
Time passed.
As the guests came, Xue Ying briefly welcomed them and occasionally chatted for a few sentences.
“Mn?”
Xue Ying’s pupils suddenly dilated. He saw a person coming in from afar.
“North River?” Xue Ying was hugely startled.
“God Monarch Flying Snow.” Great Emperor North River entered with a smile, “You have forbidden that Xie Fan from entering. Initially, I thought I could not enter either.”
