Chapter 2400: Under Attack in Outer Space (One)
Fa Yun sank into his thoughts. He furrowed his brows as the light in his eyes flickered. He seemed to be faced with an intense dilemma.
He was a Primordial realm expert, yet he still used a supreme quality saint artifact. Now, a god artifact had appeared, and it was a two-handed sword. Such a weapon suited him the most. He dreamed of possing a suitable god artifact like this, so he had already made up his mind about obtaining it.
If he wielded a god artifact, his strength would directly rise to a new level, allowing his battle prowess to increase dramatically.
Moreover, he was already prepared to take part in the bidding war against the large clans.
Although the large clans were renowned on the Jadefluid Plane, he had the support of the Float Empire. He did not need to fear the descendants and juniors of those large clans because he served the Float Empire.
This was because the peak organisations would never offend a Primordial realm expert for a low quality god artifact.
However, he never expected the people to bid to be the Darkness clan.
The Darkness clan ranked third on the Jadefluid Plane, making them even more powerful than the Float Empire which ranked fourth. Every single member of the clan was skilled with the Laws of Darkness, and all of them were masterful assassins. They were truly lawless on the Jadefluid Plane and were a bad target to provoke.
Fa Yun did not need to fear the juniors of other peak clans because he served the Float Empire, but that did not include the Darkness clan.
“Fa Yun, are you still going to bid for the god artifact?” asked a Primordial realm companion beside him.
Fa Yun remained silently. He was conflicted inside.
The Darkness clan was not reasonable. As soon as he bid a price, he would be directly offending the Darkness clan.
At this moment, a few people of various ages were gathered in the viewing box of the Darkness clan. Among them was a handsome young man who seemed to be in his twenties.
The young man was the leader of the group. Even though he was only an early Godking, his status was extremely great.
He was the thirteenth son of the current patriarch of the Darkness clan, Anye Jiuyou.
Anye Jiuyou’s talent was clear since a young age, cultivating to early Godking in just five thousand years. He was the most resplendent star in the current Darkness clan and was treated with great significance.
“Young master Jiuyou, looks like the god artifact is ours. Buying a low quality god artifact with ten five-colored divine crystals is glorious for young master Jiuyou,” said a middle-aged man. He smiled with great politeness from beside Anye Jiuyou.
Anye Jiuyou remained calm. He showed no joy at all as if this was nothing significant to him. He said coldly, “The people from the clans of the Jadefluid Plane sure are obedient.”
“Young master Jiuyou will take command of our Darkness clan in the future. Even if these people were bolder, they would never offend young master Jiuyou,” said the middle-aged man, flattering the young man.
With that, an old man seated there as well opened his eyes. He glanced at the middle-aged man in great disgust and said, “I’m afraid the owner of the god artifact won’t just let it go like this.”
The eyes of Anye Jiuyou turned cold. He said, “So what? I’ve followed the rules of the auction and won it righteously. If he has any problems, he can come find me.”
“Young master Jiuyou, have you ever considered that we might have guessed wrong, and they’re not really a Godking but a Primordial realm expert?” asked the old man sternly.
“So what if he’s a Primordial realm expert? Primordial realm experts who remain in the high class cabins are often the most useless Primordial realm experts. If he has any problems, he’s more than welcome to come and find me,” Anye Jiuyou said arrogantly. He completely looked down on the seller.
The old man sighed gently and thought, “It would be fine if he’s just a Godking. We can just kill him in that case. However, if he’s a Primordial realm expert, offending him over a low quality god artifact isn’t a clever decision.”
Anye Jiuyou sneered and said, “Moreover, I’m certain that he won’t have the courage. Even the organisations that rank first and second on the Jadefluid Plane have to show our Darkness clan respect…”
However, as soon as Anye Jiuyou said that, a voice rang out.
“Hold on! This god artifact won’t be sold for anything less than five thousand five-colored divine crystals!”
Jian Chen had spoken from his viewing box. His voice was very calm. It rang across the entire auction centre and clearly left no room for negotiation.
How could he let his low quality god artifact be bought for a low price of just ten five-colored divine crystals?
His voice immediately silenced the entire auction centre. Even the host became stunned.
Jian Chen’s attitude was so firm that he even ignored the rules of the action centre.
The price of any item would be decided through the auction. Even if the seller wanted to request a certain price, he would have to do it before the auction started and not now when the item was about to be sold.
This completely broke the rules of the auction centre.
Anye Jiuyou’s face sank in the viewing box of the Darkness clan. Coldness appeared in his eyes.
“I know this voice. It’s the person who brought out the god artifact,” said the middle-aged man who had been sucking up to the young master.
“Hmph,” Anye Jiuyou snorted coldly. He growled and said, “My Darkness clan has already bid. Sir, you’re raising the price on the spot, right after our Darkness clan has bid. Are you purposefully creating problems for our Darkness clan? Moreover, the auction centre has its rules. I advise you to respect those rules.”
“Rules? Are the rules of the auction centre removing the reserve price and collaborating with other such that items can be sold at extremely low prices? If those are the rules of the auction centre, is there even a need to follow them? Will anyone be bold enough to sell their items here in the future?” Jian Chen said righteously.
With that, a buzz immediately filled the auction centre. All the people present discussed among themselves quietly. They all blamed the auction centre.
What was happening right now was clear to everyone. A precious god artifact had only reached ten five-colored divine crystals, and no one else placed a bid. It was basically obvious that someone was pulling strings. Where was the fairness?
“Five thousand five-colored divine crystals is the reserve price for this god artifact. Everyone is welcome to continue bidding…” Jian Chen said once again. He ignored the auction centre and the Darkness clan, setting down his own rule.
“How bold of this person to not even fear the Darkness clan,” murmured the middle-aged man from the Myriad Water Estate who had spoken to Jian Chen threateningly a few days ago.
“It’s very likely that he’s at the Primordial realm,” said the old man to Anye Jiuyou.
Killing intent immediately filled Anye Jiuyou’s eyes. Suddenly, he looked at the old man and said icily, “Go ask the Spectral Elder to take action. Anyone who ignores our Darkness clan cannot be permitted to live.”
