CHAPTER 1541: CHAPTER 1541: AUCTION FAILED!

Three days have passed.

A large crowd surrounded the foot of Wangyue Peak, most of whom were extraterrestrial Martial Artists.

However, this time, no one dared to make a move against Wangyue Peak. The scene of Ye Qiu killing the Demon Lord Holy Son and his Protector was still vivid in everyone’s mind. Even Shi Kun from the Taiyi Divine Sect had fled, and no one dared to take further action, at least not on the surface.

Ye Qiu said three days ago that he would hold an auction today. Now that three days have passed, many have come to join the excitement.

Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and others appeared first in front of everyone. They set up a simple stage at the foot of the mountain, standing on either side, waiting for Ye Qiu to appear and hold the auction.

Auctioning off a Saint Heir, this is unprecedented in history. In the ancestral land, no one dared to do such a thing, and if anyone did, the grass on their grave would be two meters tall.

Now on Earth, Ye Qiu, disregarding the sects behind each Saint Heir, openly holding an auction, was a public slap in the face.

As everyone silently waited, Ye Qiu slowly walked onto the stage.

"He doesn’t look too well."

"Could he be injured?"

"Perhaps someone from the sect behind the Saint Heir took action against him."

Some people secretly speculated upon seeing Ye Qiu’s pale face, but no one knew the actual situation.

The battle the night before had not drawn much attention.

After being brought back by Jin Zhimo, Ye Qiu rested for a night and had barely recovered; he’s not yet fully healed.

As for the vampires Cain dealt with, they were all killed by Cain, leaving no corpses. The fallen female Angel, Gui Er, Cain originally intended to capture alive to hand over to Ye Qiu, but Gui Er suddenly fled, prompting Cain to attack with full force, resulting in her meeting the same fate as the vampires—no bones were left.

Ye Qiu didn’t blame Cain; Gui Er is dead, which means dead. The remnants of Satan’s lineage were completely eliminated, sparing him from having to take further action.

Though it’s unclear whether any vampires remain, Ye Qiu is confident that even if there are, they are few in number, and he will slowly hunt them down in the future and settle accounts.

"The auction begins." Ye Qiu’s words were brief and straight to the point.

Shua...

A flash of light appeared before everyone, and the Taiyi Saint Heir appeared in front of everyone, causing all eyes to focus sharply.

The Taiyi Saint Heir was indeed in Ye Qiu’s hands. Previously, people thought it was just a rumor, but now that the Taiyi Saint Heir appeared before the crowd, they were all shocked.

The Taiyi Saint Heir hadn’t appeared in some time. Ever since entering Mount Tai, he had not been seen; now it seems he’s always been in Ye Qiu’s hands.

Sizzle, even the Saint Heir ranked first among the top ten Saints could be restrained, raising Ye Qiu’s stature in the hearts of many extraterrestrial Martial Artists, as not just anyone could achieve this.

The terrifying prowess of the Taiyi Saint Heir was evident, standing above all other Saint Heirs, and even so, he was still captured by Ye Qiu.

Currently, Ye Qiu’s power could slay a Void-breaking realm martial artist, and for the Taiyi Saint Heir, there was no threat in front of Ye Qiu.

The Taiyi Saint Heir’s hands were bound, unable to move or speak, left to Ye Qiu’s manipulation, placed on the stage like a commodity for people to view and auction.

That the Taiyi Saint Heir had fallen to such a state was unimaginable to others. Now, in Ye Qiu’s hands, he seemed quite miserable, with none of the aura of the top Saint Heir, almost broken by Ye Qiu.

Before Ye Qiu could announce the starting bid, someone shouted one million star coins at the Taiyi Saint Heir.

Ye Qiu sneered but did not speak.

However, it was Jin Shanshun who spoke up: "The starting price for the Taiyi Saint Heir is ten million star coins."

Upon hearing this price, the previously bidding man’s face turned ugly, clearly a ruthless move.

Ten million star coins, that’s enough to raise a void-breaking powerhouse.

"Fine, I bid ten million, release him immediately."

Holding back his anger, the man said, his face darkened.

The high price of ten million star coins deterred other extraterrestrial martial artists, their total assets in the ancestral land didn’t reach this amount. Ye Qiu, an indigenous person, suddenly possessing so much wealth from auctioning a Saint Heir made many deeply envious.

Just when everyone thought it was finalized at ten million star coins, Ye Qiu spoke, looking at the man and calmly said: "I’ve changed my mind; ten million star coins is too low. The starting bid for the Taiyi Saint Heir is one hundred million star coins."

"You..."

The man’s face turned extremely unsightly, having prepared to put up some star coins to buy the Taiyi Saint Heir’s life, so he wouldn’t face Li Sheng’s anger. But Ye Qiu then said a hundred million star coins, which was entirely too difficult.

Other extraterrestrial martial artists all looked shocked, feeling Ye Qiu was setting an exorbitant price, practically forcing doom upon the Taiyi Divine Sect.

One hundred million star coins, how many sects could actually afford that? Such an amount might be the annual budget for some small sects.

Ye Qiu didn’t care what others thought; watching the man, he had already deduced his identity—the white-clad man who escaped that day, though now with an altered appearance, his aura couldn’t hide from Ye Qiu’s inspection.

If not for this guy, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have been seriously injured, nearly dying right then and there.

In retrospect, Ye Qiu realized the three black-clad men were surely planning to attack him at Wangyue Peak but met by chance beforehand.

Honestly, Ye Qiu’s injuries were severe, not something recoverable in a day or two. If it wasn’t for the Taiyi Divine Sect’s actions, he wouldn’t have been weakened so.

"Is no one bidding a hundred million star coins?" Ye Qiu’s voice spread throughout the audience.

Shi Kun glared at Ye Qiu; this indigenous person raising the bid so high was essentially declaring a mortal enemy with the Taiyi Divine Sect, but little did he know, Ye Qiu had already considered the Taiyi Divine Sect an enemy long ago. He was never lenient against enemies.

"Taiyi Saint Heir, seems your popularity isn’t so good; doesn’t look like anyone wants to buy you, looks like you’ll remain unsold!" Ye Qiu stated calmly before the Taiyi Saint Heir.

The Taiyi Saint Heir glared at Ye Qiu but it was of no use, he was powerless to resist.

"Alright, Taiyi Saint Heir remains unsold, onto the next item." Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously at the crowd.

What’s he up to?

Many felt something off in Ye Qiu’s smile.

Then everyone saw a golden longsword appear in Ye Qiu’s hand.

Seeing Ye Qiu holding the longsword, the Taiyi Saint Heir grew even more furious. This was the Bahuang Sword, which almost became his weapon; if Ye Qiu hadn’t intervened, it would definitely be his blade.

"Ahem..." Ye Qiu coughed: "I thought of a simple, quick solution for the unsold Saint Heir."

With that, Ye Qiu raised the sword and brought it down.

The Bahuang Sword directly swung towards the Taiyi Saint Heir.

"No..." the disguised Shi Kun suddenly shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late; how fast was the Bahuang Sword, with a flash of gold, the Taiyi Saint Heir’s head fell.

It was as if fate willed it, rolling to a stop before Shi Kun.

The Taiyi Saint Heir’s head still had eyes open in resentment, unable to rest in peace.
