Investigation Results
Despite Xue Qinghe's outward appearance of being determined to obtain the Soul Spirit Bone Set, he secretly had no desire for it.
Because Xue Qinghe's teacher, Du Bai, had told him the real reason for the emergence of the Spirit Bone Set.
This Spirit Bone Set will disappear within fourteen days. If I count on my fingers, it probably won't last more than seven days before this Spirit Bone Set vanishes from the world!
Whoever wins the bid for this Spirit Bone Set is doomed!
Xue Qinghe knew the truth, but due to his position, he could not say it openly.
Speaking out would bring him a huge problem, and he might even lose his position as the eldest prince, because the logic behind it is unclear.
Moreover, if Xue Qinghe were to reveal this, it would be considered a betrayal of Teacher Du Bai.
He swore an oath with his Martial Soul, and there is only one outcome for him: death!
Therefore, Xue Qinghe remained calm and negotiated with his uncle, the elders and guests of the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, letting things take their course and seeing if there would be an opportunity to minimize the losses of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!
"Your Highness is right. We will Upper Three Sects and the resources of the Heaven Dou Empire, we will surely be able to acquire this Spirit Bone Set!"
"No matter what, this Spirit Bone Set must not fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall!"
"It seems the Spirit Hall is considering abandoning the Spirit Bone Set, which is a good thing for us!"
The Second Elder, the head of the Clear Sky Sect, spoke with a glint in his eyes.
The Clear Sky Sect's stance was unanimous: they could not allow the Spirit Hall to obtain the Spirit Bone Set!
If the Spirit Hall obtains this Spirit Bone Set, it will surely cultivate even more powerful Soul Master, and the Clear Sky Sect will have a hard time in the future!
"Elder Tang is right!"
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, but in his heart he did not want to get his hands on this hot potato.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, a sense of unease welling up in his heart.
It seems that everything is going in the direction expected.
However, Ning Fengzhi instinctively felt a sense of unease.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't discern the specific reason for his unease, so he could only furrow his brows and remain silent as he stood aside.
While they were talking, the auction for the demonic boar skull had already been completed!
"Alright, fifteen million Gold Soul Coin in three transactions, deal!"
"Congratulations to the VIP in the red private room 7878 for successfully bidding on the 30,000-year-old demonic Head Soul Bone!"
"After the auction ends, we will open the corresponding channel for you, our VIPs, to pay with Soul Coins and collect your Soul Bone!"
"Elder Zheng" announced the results methodically.
Although 'Elder Zheng' had a smile on his face when he announced the bid, he was not satisfied with the 15 million bid.
"This demonic boar skull should, in theory, fetch at least twenty million at auction!"
"Sigh, what a pity. These powerful forces are saving their Gold Soul Coin for the final Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set; they can't bear to waste a single Gold Soul Coin on this Demonic Boar Skull."
"Well, fifteen million isn't bad, it's acceptable."
Elder Zheng sighed inwardly, but ultimately accepted the auction price with pleasure.
The decision is final!
The head bone of the 30,000-year-old underground demon boar was auctioned off to three elders of the Spirit Hall: Golden Crocodile, Porcupine, and Serpent Spear!
This time, the three of them, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, came to this auction with no intention of winning the 50,000-year-old Spirit Bone Set.
Since we can't take the Spirit Bone Set, bidding for a rare Soul Bone is a good option, as it can enrich the Spirit Hall's resources.
These are the true thoughts of the three titled elders: Golden Crocodile, Pufferfish, and Snake Lance.
Upon seeing the head bone of the underground demon boar being auctioned off, a glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the master thief, Romore.
However, when Romor noticed that the VIPs in the red-themed private room had left after the auction, Romor abandoned the idea.
The red private room likely houses a powerful expert who could potentially be Titled Douluo.
Romor dared not act rashly.
"I'll leave this Soul Bone with you for now. Once I become Titled Douluo, I'll definitely go and reclaim what's rightfully mine!"
Beneath the mask, Romor's lips moved as he muttered to himself, while his rat-like eyes gleamed with greed.
According to the auction house's procedure, after a valuable item is auctioned off, some less valuable items are brought out to calm the crowd's excited emotions.
Therefore, in the following auctions, no treasures were offered that would attract the attention of important figures.
However, ordinary bidders enjoyed it and actively participated in the bidding.
A special office in the auction house, similar to a monitoring room, allows them to see the movements of everyone at the entire auction.
Three black-robed deacons rushed over, knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, respectfully entered the office.
These three black-robed deacons were the same deacons that President Zhuge Jin had previously sent out to investigate Du Bai's identity!
"How's the investigation into Du Bai going?"
President Zhuge Jin asked calmly, yet there was a hidden sense of danger in his seemingly indifferent tone.
Clearly, if the investigation results displease the chairman, all three of the deacons will be finished.
As President Zhuge Jin spoke, Elder Murong Feng and the three senior red-robed elders beside him all looked over.
Being watched by the big shots, the black-robed deacon felt immense pressure, and cold sweat poured down his back!
The black-robed deacon, suppressing his inner tension, adjusted himself to be in excellent condition, and then respectfully took out a document and handed it to President Zhuge Jin.
Immediately, the leading black-robed deacon spoke:
"Reporting to the Chairman and Elders, the investigation results are in, and they are all written in this document!"
"Now, let me give you a brief explanation!"
"This Du Bai has an extraordinary background; he's the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
When the black-robed deacon mentioned that Du Bai was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, his tone was solemn and filled with reverence.
Upon hearing that Du Bai was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, President Zhuge Jin's handsome brows instantly furrowed into a line.
Murong Feng and the three red-robed elders beside him could not help but show a look of surprise.
"That young man is Du Bai, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?!"
"Why wasn't he in the red private room with those three from the Spirit Hall?!"
"This young man is already the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. He must have extraordinary skills and talent. He is worth keeping an eye on!"
An elder in a red robe standing nearby spoke up, his eyes gleaming.
"Mr. Chen, you're right."
Murong Feng replied to Elder Chen, then looked at the black-robed steward and said, "Continue!"
Meanwhile, President Zhuge Jin was flipping through the materials in his hands, a glint of light constantly gathering in his eyes!
"Yes, that young man is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Soul Douluo level expert, but his exact level is unknown!"
"And that woman of exceptional beauty is named Bibi Dong, Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and also Soul Douluo!"
"Not long ago, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall got married!"
