Win-Win Cooperation

Xue Qinghe had already decided to make the Clear Sky Sect take the blame.

The auction was nearing its end.

Three breaths passed, and there was still no sign of the price being raised in the private room where Dai Weisi was.

"It's time to announce the results!"

"Elder Zheng" thought to himself.

Immediately, 'Elder Zheng' took a deep breath and adjusted himself to his best condition.

"This Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set is extremely rare on the continent. Are there any VIPs willing to bid? If not, I'll have to announce the results!"

Elder Zheng's solemn voice echoed throughout the auction hall as he asked everyone one last time.

However, 'Elder Zheng' was met with silence.

Clearly, the price of 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin has reached its maximum, and no bidder has the financial resources to compete with it.

Soon, another three breaths passed.

"Alright, 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin per transaction!"

"1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin twice!"

"1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin three times!"

"Elder Zheng's" solemn voice resounded throughout the auction hall.

When 'Elder Zheng' spoke for the third time, he paused, and his voice changed from solemn to impassioned.

"Congratulations to Room 1314 (Red Private Room) for successfully bidding on the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set for 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin, setting a new record for the highest bid in the history of this auction house!"

"After the auction officially concludes, we will open a special channel for you, our VIPs, to pay your Gold Soul Coin and collect your treasures!"

"Let's give a warm round of applause once again to congratulate Room 1314, the Red Private Room!"

"Elder Zheng's" voice was powerful and stirring, arousing the excitement of all the bidders in the room.

Immediately.

The decision is final!

"Okay~!!!"

The auction officially ended, and all the bidders present were like ants on a hot plate, instantly erupting in cheers and jubilation.

The reason these bidders were so excited was that some of them had participated in the betting and made a fortune.

They were even happier than Xue Qinghe and the elders of the Clear Sky Sect inside the red private room.

At the same time.

Accompanied by cheerful music, all the Soul Tool lights in the auction house lit up, illuminating the entire venue.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so beautiful waitresses with perfect figures, pretty faces, and daringly revealing outfits, dressed in elegant gowns, came to 'Elder Zheng's' side and began to dance gracefully to music.

The beautiful women dancing immediately drew the attention of all the male bidders in the room, who wanted to catch a glimpse of their charm.

As the crowd cheered loudly, they also waited for 'Elder Zheng' to give the final announcement, formally concluding the long auction.

"The auction went very smoothly, and treasures such as Wu Feng Pill were auctioned off."

"."

"This is inseparable from the support of everyone present, especially the support of powerful friends such as the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

"."

On the auction stage, "Elder Zheng" was giving his final concluding remarks.

Once the closing remarks are finished, the auction will officially come to a successful conclusion.

Inside the red-themed private room.

The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect smiled slightly.

"Your His Highness Qinghe, Prince Xue Xing, we have successfully bid for this set of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, preventing it from falling into the hands of thieves!"

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect —our four major forces cooperate for mutual benefit, showcasing the grandeur of a great sect!"

"Our Clear Sky Sect hopes to cooperate more with your Heaven Dou Empire in the future!"

The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect smiled and spoke with a kind expression.

However, his seemingly kind words were actually a prelude to his later act of openly taking the Spirit Bone Set!

"Elder Tang, you're right!"

Xue Qinghe replied calmly, his words revealing neither warmth nor coldness.

Prince Xue Xing, standing to the side, appeared much more worldly-wise, returning the smile and saying:

"Elder Tang is right. In the future, we should have more exchanges and cooperation with your sect!"

Prince Xue Xing's statement did indeed imply a desire to be close to the Clear Sky Sect.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire is a great empire, if it does not maintain good relations with these established major sects, or even becomes hostile, the empire could easily be affected by them and collapse.

"Prince Xue Xing is right. We should get together again after the auction!"

The Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect chimed in, his eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly as he spoke, seemingly plotting something sinister.

And so, Xue Qinghe, Prince Xue Xing, and the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect chatted casually as they waited for the auction to officially end.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side, paid no attention to their conversation, but instead kept glancing at the black private room where Du Bai was.

"Young Master Li Fu, I must see you in person this time!"

Tang Yuehua thought to herself.

Tang Yuehua was concerned that she and Li Fu and the others might miss seeing Du Bai in person because they were worried that they would miss the opportunity to meet him.

Therefore, subconsciously, Tang Yuehua kept a close eye on the movements in the dark private room.

Another private room with a black background.

"Dad! Grandpa! Should we go and pay our respects to Du Bai later?"

Tailong looked at Taino and the Old Titan and said.

"My good son, you're right, but Young Master Du has already instructed us to keep a low profile!"

"I think it's best if we just pay our respects from afar!"

"Afterwards, we will invite Young Master Du to our residence for a gathering!"

The Patriarch Taino thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Taino is right. A distant greeting is enough to show our loyalty!"

Old Titan echoed.

"Okay, I'll listen to my father and grandfather!"

Tailong nodded obediently.

Inside the red-themed private room.

The three Titled Douluo powerhouses, Golden Crocodile, Pufferfish, Snake Lance, were chatting and laughing at this moment.

"I imagine that by now, Old Ghost, Old Man Lieyang, and Old Man Tuoba have already ravaged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to pieces!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

"Yes, by the time Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen arrived at the sect, it was already too late. They would only see that most of the area was in ruins and countless disciples had died or been injured!"

"Porcupine Douluo echoed."

"Hehe, with their sects severely weakened and aided by a large amount of Gold Soul Coin, let's see how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect School can maintain their foothold in the Soul Master World!"

Snake Lance Douluo chuckled.

"Yes, the four major powers spent 1.5 billion Gold Soul Coin this time. Even if they obtain this Spirit Bone Set, it is not enough to pose a threat to our Spirit Hall!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke.

"Yes, Brother Golden Crocodile!"

"After the auction ends, shall we go and meet Saint Du Bai and Saint Bibi Dong?"

The Snake Lance Douluo, standing to the side, changed the subject.

"Yes, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden Daughter hold high positions within the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope and us titled elders. They should indeed meet and exchange a few words."

Goodnight, everyone! Good morning! Good afternoon! Have a wonderful day!
