266: Chapter 266 The Battle for the Hidden Bat Blood Wings, Lighting the Sky Lantern

The blood-colored bat wings exuded a faint, evil aura, as if they had been forcibly ripped from the back of a fallen angel.

There was even a faint cyan wind-like humming emanating from within, whistling softly.

Looking closely, it seemed like tangible, raging wind, appearing quite profound.

As soon as these so-called Hidden Bat Blood Wings appeared, the auction hall fell silent, leaving those who did not recognize their value looking blank.

Some forces with deep foundations had naturally heard of the name of this Dou Technique for flight, and like the Xiao Sect and Black Skull Tomb... their eyes lit up.

Clearly, the so-called Hidden Bat Blood Wings had stirred the hearts of some experts in the VIP rooms.

As long as one possessed this item, one could take to the skies just like a Dou Wang expert, making it an essential item for escaping.

"This thing is somewhat interesting, I like it..." Xiao Yujie of the Xiao Sect stared intently at the scroll in the auctioneer's hand, as if trying to see through the eerie blood-colored bat wings, and whispered softly.

"Xiao Yingjie, don't think that just because you obtained the Purple Cloud Wings, you can be arrogant. Once I win the Hidden Bat Blood Wings and successfully cultivate them, we shall compete again!"

Ever since Xiao Yingjie had successfully cultivated the Purple Cloud Wings and was able to soar through the sky, it had made Xiao Yujie extremely envious...

"Sect Leader, the price of this flight Dou Technique will likely not be lower than one million."

"If we spend this much, I fear it will be difficult to compete against the other forces for the final item..."

Elder Yue, who was behind him, heard this and reminded him with some concern.

"What's the rush?" Glancing at Elder Yue behind him, Xiao Yujie sneered, "Father has made preparations. No matter who wins the bid, it will eventually fall into our hands, thus saving us a sum of money."

"That is somewhat dangerous. If something goes wrong in the middle, it will bring trouble."

Elder Yue advised him once again.

"I have my own methods, Elder Yue need not worry!" Xiao Yujie said coldly.

Elder Yue sighed inwardly. He had already advised him; even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with him. He shook his head slightly and said no more.

The auctioneer spoke eloquently, his tongue like a lotus flower, introducing the flight Dou Technique.

Those who had never heard of it and were somewhat confused originally, upon learning of the benefits of the Hidden Bat Blood Wings, had greed flashing in their eyes.

A flight Dou Technique meant one did not need to advance to the Dou Wang level to soar through the skies, and the scene instantly became heated.

"Everyone also understands the rarity of flight Dou Techniques. After our appraisal, this scroll of Hidden Bat Blood Wings is ranked as a Profound-Tier High-Grade flight Dou Technique."

"The starting bid is one million, the auction officially begins!"

The auctioneer smiled.

"Liu Ling, continue bidding!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently, sipping spiritual wine while watching the various forces compete.

However, some forces without sufficient financial resources, upon hearing the starting price, had their restless hearts quiet down.

"One million five hundred thousand!" Xiao Yujie said coldly, causing a stir in the auction hall. He had raised it directly by five hundred thousand; the attitude of this guy was clearly that he, the Sect Leader, wanted these Hidden Bat Blood Wings.

At this price, after a brief pause, a charming laugh rang out: "Sect Leader Xiao, what a grand gesture. However, I, the Rakshasa Sect, am also interested in this flight Dou Technique. One million eight hundred thousand."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiao Yujie's gaze turned gloomy.

"Since everyone is so interested, my Mad Lion Gang will also join in. Two million!" Tie Wu said in a booming voice.

"Giggle, I, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, bid two million four hundred thousand!" A charming voice rang out. Looking up, it was several women with hot bodies and waists like snakes.

"Tsk tsk, so it's the Green Snake Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. I did not expect you to be interested in the auction as well." There was a hint of wariness in Xiao Yujie's tone.

"Some things are not for everyone to take, don't you agree, Sect Leader Xiao?" Elder Green Snake chuckled, her hot figure causing the males present to become somewhat restless.

"Heavenly Serpent Mansion?" Hun Tiandi said softly.

"The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is a first-class force in the Northwest Region. It is said that they control the Tianshe Empire and have many experts." Liu Ling said.

While the two were speaking, the bidding at the auction had already sparked the most intense fire, and the Hidden Bat Blood Wings, with a starting price of one million, had risen to three million.

"Three million five hundred thousand!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yujie's gloomy expression became even more intense.

"Five million!" Liu Ling suddenly spoke, directly shattering Xiao Yujie's illusions, causing a stir in the auction hall.

"Who on earth is this person? He's a lunatic, making moves so frequently. Could it be that he wants to buy out the whole auction?"

"Have you forgotten? The auction has a special method called: Lighting the Sky Lantern."

"The rule of Lighting the Sky Lantern in the auction house is that regardless of what is being auctioned or the price, the one who lights the sky lantern pays for it."

"Oh? In that case, I can bid randomly; anyway, someone will pay for it in the end."

"Heh, I advise you not to do that. Don't lose your life for a moment of pleasure!"

"However, in the Black-Corner Region, no one has lit a sky lantern for a hundred years. This time, it's really an eye-opener. Even if we don't bid on anything, seeing this is enough to brag about for a lifetime."

"Auctioneer, I suspect that someone is intentionally driving up the price and disrupting the order. I request that the auction house verify their funds!" Xiao Yujie said unwillingly; this was his only remaining option.

Since the start of the auction, the person in the first-class VIP room had been bidding non-stop, as if they were sweeping the shelves, showing no restraint at all.

"This..." The auctioneer was a bit doubtful. Yuan Tian's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. Although the first-class VIP room was also bidding on items, this massive financial backing was still somewhat shocking.

Knock... Shortly after, the door of the first-class VIP room was knocked on, and Yuan Tian entered with the auctioneer.

"Brother Yun Tian, look at this..." Yuan Tian did not dare to offend him and spoke awkwardly.

"Have the items I won been brought?" Hun Tiandi's expression remained unchanged as he asked indifferently.

"They have all been brought. Bring them up!" Yuan Tian clapped his hands, and behind him, several stunning young women carried small trays containing the auctioned items.

They were all placed in the VIP room, and then an auction girl was also brought in, her panicked eyes scanning the surroundings.

Thump! Hun Tiandi took out a storage ring, placed it on the table, and said, "Mr. Yuan, take a look!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Tian's expression changed. The change in address indicated that the mysterious Mr. Yun Tian was somewhat dissatisfied with his actions.

He smiled awkwardly. Yuan Tian grabbed the storage ring, swept it with his soul power, and found ten million gold coins inside, causing huge waves to rise in his heart.

"Damn the Xiao Sect Leader, he actually caused the Eight Gates to offend such a powerful force. Being able to produce ten million in wealth, is this someone he can afford to offend?" Yuan Tian cursed angrily, then apologized and exited the VIP room.

"Everyone, the distinguished guest in the first-class VIP room has cleared all auction expenses. The auction continues!" the auctioneer said coldly.

"How is that possible?" Xiao Yujie stood up abruptly, fear in his eyes.

"Interesting. My Heavenly Serpent Mansion should befriend such a person!" Elder Green Snake smiled charmingly.

"Because the guest in the first-class VIP room has spent ten million, they have met the conditions for Lighting the Sky Lantern. Hang a sky lantern first." the auctioneer announced.

Subsequently, a golden lantern was hung on the window of the first-class VIP room.

"A sky lantern? This is truly an eye-opener!"

"Who on earth is in the first-class VIP room?" The people in the auction hall were all discussing it.

"The Hidden Bat Blood Wings, if there is no higher price, will belong to the first-class VIP room!" the auctioneer said.

There was silence, and then, the flight Dou Technique: Hidden Bat Blood Wings, was won by Hun Tiandi.
