502: Chapter 502 Raising Prices

As the voice rang out, the venue immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked up and saw several figures standing in the corridor, looking down.

It was Ji Yuan and his group.

The Black-Robed Sword Cultivator had been furious upon hearing the provocative voice, but his expression instantly soured when he saw they were from the Ice Demon Clan.

Ji Yuan looked at him with a half-smile. "What? You're not satisfied?"

The Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's lip twitched, and after a long while, he whispered, "I have no objections."

Ji Yuan said disdainfully, "Someone like you is worthy of the sword? You don't even have the courage to resist the strong. Lacking that sharp edge, is your sword still keen?"

The Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's face turned deathly pale!

To kill the man and condemn his heart!

He was destroying his Dao heart!

Ji Yuan spoke eerily, "Leave your sword behind, and you can get lost."

He paused, his lips curling upward. "Of course, you can also pick up your sword and fight. I can just kill you and then take the sword."

Arrogant!

It had to be said, Ji Yuan was incredibly arrogant!

But no one present dared to resist because even if they all banded together, they were no match for him!

Ji Yuan wanted to completely shatter the Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's Sword Dao heart!

All because the Black-Robed Sword Cultivator had said something pretentious.

The Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's expression struggled, flickering between fear, determination, and dejection...

Fight, and the sword breaks, the man dies!

If he didn't fight, his Dao heart would shatter, and he would never be able to reach the Tenth Rank in this lifetime!

Finally, the Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's clenched hands slowly relaxed. He gave Ji Yuan a deep look before turning to leave.

As he left, the Black-Robed Sword Cultivator's Sword Dao aura plummeted!

Abandoning the sword!

Dispersing his Dao!

Everyone watched this scene with complicated gazes.

At this moment, a genius sword cultivator had fallen.

Ji Yuan didn't strike because there was no longer any need. Such a person would eventually be tormented by their own inner demons, a fate worse than death.

He looked at Yun Yi and said indifferently, "I bid three thousand source crystals."

Once these words were spoken, the venue remained silent.

No one dared to raise the price; no one dared to offend the Ice Demon Clan.

Yun Yi was somewhat disappointed. He had thought he could make more, but now it seemed he could only "tearfully" profit two thousand source crystals.

He was about to speak when suddenly, an elderly voice rang out: "Three thousand five hundred source crystals."

Hearing this, Ji Yuan suddenly looked toward a private box not far away!

"Elder Kong!"

The crowd also began to watch the spectacle with interest.

Someone actually dared to go against the Ice Demon Clan?

This was getting interesting.

Elder Kong's figure appeared. He looked at Ji Yuan and said slowly, "If Young Master Ji wants it, he can increase the bid."

Ji Yuan's face darkened, and he looked at him with a sneer. "Are you trying to oppose me?"

Elder Kong said slowly, "That's not what I mean. As the saying goes, the highest bidder wins. Since I can afford the price, I naturally want the item. Don't you agree, President Yun?"

Yun Yi nodded with a smile. "Of course, Fellow Daoist Ji, this is according to the rules."

Ji Yuan snorted, then said expressionlessly, "Fine, if you want to follow, then follow!"

"Four thousand!"

Elder Kong said indifferently, "Five thousand!"

"Six thousand!"

"Six thousand five hundred!"

"Seven thousand..."

"..."

Neither side would yield, and the price quickly soared to ten thousand source crystals!

A smile appeared in Yun Yi's eyes.

If the transaction was successful, he would receive a substantial income!

At the very least, he could make back what he had given to Fang Bai earlier!

Ji Yuan's expression was unsightly. He stared intently at Elder Kong. "Old thing, if you bid for this item, will you still have the strength to compete for the source heart?"

Elder Kong smiled and said, "There's no need for Fellow Daoist Ji to worry about that. I've been around for many years and have quite a 'few' savings."

Ji Yuan: "..."

Above, when Fang Bai heard Elder Kong's words, his eyes instantly lit up.

You old fellow! How bold! You actually dare to secretly hide my source crystals!

In his eyes, Elder Kong's money already belonged to him!

Elder Kong seemed to sense Fang Bai's gaze and looked up.

At this moment, Ji Yuan said coldly, "My Ice Demon Clan bids twenty thousand source crystals!"

As soon as he said this, Miss Ji Yue, standing behind him, frowned.

This Ji Yuan was too impulsive.

Twenty thousand source crystals!

He had doubled the bid!

Even Yun Yi's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled.

I'm rich!

Elder Kong looked at Ji Yuan.

The latter sneered, "Why aren't you following? You haven't run out of money, have you?"

Elder Kong fell silent for a moment, then revealed a smile. "Since Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan likes it so much, I shall reluctantly part with it."

He didn't actually value this scabbard that much; his goal was the source heart!

Of course, the main reason he bid was to deplete Ji Yuan's financial resources.

Even if he had failed and ended up with the scabbard, it would still be a gain.

Elder Kong didn't lose out at all!

Ji Yuan was losing big time!

He stared fixedly at Elder Kong, his eyes filled with killing intent. "You damned old immortal! This young master will surely kill you!"

His killing intent enveloped the entire venue. Everyone below felt a sense of suffocation, their faces filled with horror.

Fortunately, Yun Yi spoke up in time. "Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, violence is not permitted here. If there are grievances, they can be settled outside."

Ji Yuan gave him a cold look, then snorted and prepared to return to his private box.

"Twenty thousand and one source crystals!"

Just then, a frivolous voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's figure froze.

The venue was deathly silent!

Everyone sensed that something was wrong and was already prepared to slip away.

Elder Kong glanced in Fang Bai's direction, then turned and went back into his box.

Ji Yuan slowly turned around and looked at the box where Fang Bai was. His gaze was devoid of emotion. "What... did... you... say?"

Fang Bai's eerie voice rang out, "Are you deaf? I'm bidding."

Ji Yuan was enraged!

He was already at his breaking point, and Fang Bai's punchable voice instantly ignited his fury!

Boom!

A powerful force surged toward Fang Bai's box!

He struck!

Yun Yi's brow furrowed. He wanted to stop it, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped.

At that moment, a figure appeared outside Fang Bai's box and threw a punch!

Bang!

In the collision, Ji Yuan's pressure was blocked.

Zhan Xiao looked at Ji Yuan and said indifferently, "Ji Yuan, can't you afford to play?"

"Zhan Xiao?!" Ji Yuan frowned, then sneered. "So that's how it is. You've already become someone else's dog?"

Zhan Xiao said calmly, "Not at all. The Star Pavilion and the Zhan Clan were always allies. Fellow Daoist Fang and I hit it off immediately. As for you... acting like this, aren't you afraid of losing face for the Ice Demon Clan?"

Ji Yuan looked at him coldly. "You want to be an enemy of my Ice Demon Clan?"

A wicked arc curled at the corner of Zhan Xiao's mouth. "If we are enemies, then so be it!"

Boom!
