Arc 16The Beard Auction
Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu helped the Bearded Pirate Group turn Jiangcheng’s crisis into a public auction that exposed Ling Chu and punished the Sikong Clan. The auction ended with the authorities preparing a campaign against the pirates, while Shi Jiu claimed the title God Thief Redbeard.
- Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu opened the First Research Institute’s remaining laboratories as Cangyu subdued the Thunder Emperor, while Yu Shu and Lu Ming blocked Yun Yi from claiming the institute’s researchers without compensation.
- Cangyu sealed the Thunder Emperor, but Ling Chu told the gathered Heavenly Beings that Shi Yuehan controlled the Bearded Pirate Group, prompting Yun Yi to announce a worldwide wanted notice after the auction.
- Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu used ghost disguises to attack Lingyue Pavilion’s base while Ling Chu rampaged at the Baili Family manor, and Yun Yi’s livestream helped establish their alibi.
- Yun Yi used the Six Harmonies Heaven-Ending Killing Formation to drive forces from five Jiangcheng districts, while Shen Yan began the Beard Auction as Purplebeard and displayed Ling Chu’s crimes.
- Shi Qinglong bought the auction qualifications and Tianhuang Martial Arts University’s captive staff, while the Baili Family bought the two Ling Chu Puppet Bodies and the Sword God took the transformed Ling Family Martial Artists for his Zoo.
- Purplebeard put the Sikong Clan’s captives up for auction, and Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu emptied Ling Du’s Storage Badge so he could not pay after winning the bid.
- The auction condemned thirty-two Sikong Clan fighters to death and freed sixty-seven others, while Sikong Yi and Sikong Mei blamed the Ling Family and resolved to warn Shi Yuehan’s former allies.
- Yun Yi said the authorities would target the Bearded Pirate Group after the auction, while Shi Jiu officially became God Thief Redbeard after revealing the stolen Twelfth-Tier Energy Sources.
