The chilling laughter echoed through the auction hall, causing many people's expressions to change. They could feel the intense killing intent mixed in with that cold voice.

Surprisingly, after the Scarred Man from the Fengyun Dynasty finished speaking, he did not immediately make a move. Instead, he gave Lin Langtian a meaningful, sinister smile before sitting back down in the stone chair.

As the Scarred Man sat down, the Fengyun Dynasty and others beside him calmly returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.

Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He sat there calmly, like an old monk in meditation.

Beside him, Jin Wu, needless to say, Su Kui and the other two had come to know Lin Langtian well over the past few days and therefore trusted him completely, so they did not show much worry.

"The man with some scars on his face is called Meng Lie. He has the personality of a wild beast. Another leader of the Fengyun Dynasty is named Feng Cang. He is like a venomous snake."

"Both men are ruthless and cruel, which has made the Fengyun Dynasty quite famous on the Ancient Battlefield." At this moment, Su Kui whispered to Lin Langtian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, but his face did not show much emotion.

Seeing this, Su Kui was also very fortunate. Luckily, he met Lin Langtian, otherwise he and his little sister would have really fallen victim to the Fengyun Dynasty.

While Lin Langtian and his group were talking in hushed tones, the man named Feng Cang, who was at the very front, clasped his long, slender hands together, looked ahead, and said calmly, "Are you all ready?"

"Don't worry, everything is in order. The forces from the Great Gan Dynasty and the Great Zhao Dynasty are on their way quickly. They should arrive in Myriad Manifestations City by the time the auction ends," Meng Lie said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Feng Cang nodded slightly, his narrowed eyes like a viper spitting its tongue, sinister and vicious.

"Regardless of the circumstances, this brat is doomed to die today!" Meng Lie said with a ferocious grin.

At this moment, as the two sides, each with their own thoughts, sat down in the Colosseum, the tense atmosphere in this huge auction house gradually eased a bit.

However, some insiders know that this is just the calm before the storm.

The Fengyun Dynasty's subtle actions could be kept secret from others, but not from the other three Super Dynasty and some top- Advanced Dynasty.

They knew that the reason the Fengyun Dynasty hadn't immediately broken ties with Lin Langtian was because they were waiting for something.

Once the forces of the other two Super Dynasty arrive in Myriad Manifestations City, that will be the moment of the true decisive battle between the two sides.

At that time, the entire situation on the Ancient Battlefield will likely be thrown into turmoil...

In the following days, an ever-growing, terrifying crowd converged on the auction house.

Looking out, the dark mass of people seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see; the overwhelming crowd was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

It wasn't until nearly noon that a figure slowly walked out from the giant stage at the very center of the auction house.

The man was a middle-aged man dressed in gray. His face was calm and composed, and he did not show the slightest emotion despite being stared at by countless menacing eyes.

Lin Langtian's gaze immediately focused on the middle-aged man the moment he appeared. A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He could sense an extremely subtle yet exceptionally powerful fluctuation emanating from this man.

"He is the person that the Super Sect arranged to guard Myriad Manifestations City, named Song Tai," Su Kui said from the side.

Lin Langtian nodded slightly. The reason why Myriad Manifestations City is called a major city is because an elder from the Super Sect is personally in charge of it.

However, Lin Langtian was curious about his chances of winning against Song Tai, who possessed the strength of a Advanced Nirvana Stage cultivator.

"Everyone here is here for the Myriad Manifestations City auction, so I won't go into the rules here."

On the giant platform, Song Tai, a middle-aged man unaware that he was being used for a combat strength assessment, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the entire audience with indifferent eyes. His powerful voice boomed in everyone's ears.

"There aren't many items in this auction, but they've all been rigorously selected and are all rare. I imagine there will be quite a few people interested in them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man waved his sleeve, and dozens of dazzling rays of light burst forth from his sleeve, finally hovering in the auction stage.

Whoosh!

All eyes were drawn to it at that moment. Within those dazzling lights, they could feel extremely powerful fluctuations. Just by looking at its appearance, they knew that this thing was extraordinary.

At the very top of those dozens of light orbs was a purple light orb no bigger than a human head. Surrounding the orb were rings of light, and a subtle, unsettling aura was quietly spreading out.

The entire auction house fell silent for a moment amidst that commotion, and then almost everyone's eyes lit up with intense excitement.

This purple orb represents a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

The purple orb hovered at the highest point, surrounded by a faint halo, making it appear exceptionally magical. Its unique and powerful aura undoubtedly made it the most eye-catching presence in the entire arena, and countless eyes were filled with fervor and greed.

Even Lin Langtian was moved.

Aside from the mysterious Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, Lin Langtian possessed no other treasure comparable to this Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

At this moment, Song Tai calmly looked at the bustling auction hall below. After a moment, he waved his hand, and a ball of light flew down and landed in his hand. The light dissipated and transformed into a three-foot-long green sword.

"The first item up for auction is the Earth-grade Spirit Treasure, the Spirit Peak Sword. Among Earth-grade Spirit Treasure, this sword is top-tier. Its sharpness is such that even a Nirvana Golden Body expert in the Three Yuan Nirvana Stage would not dare to touch it lightly."

Song Tai clenched his fist, and the Green Peak Longsword appeared in his hand. He then spoke calmly.

"Spirit Peak Sword, auction price: 300,000 Nirvana Pill."

"Three hundred and twenty thousand."

This Spirit Peak Sword, in terms of its sharpness, far surpasses many Earth-grade Spirit Treasure. Therefore, shortly after Song Tai finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

"Four hundred thousand."

In the following minutes, the sound of bidding continued to rise in the auction hall, and in the end, the Spirit Peak Sword was acquired by a dynasty for nearly 500,000 Nirvana Pill.

The following auctions still featured powerful Earth-grade Spirit Treasure, both offensive and defensive, and overall they were indeed quite good items.

One of the Spirit Treasure, named ' Earth Flame Stone ', fetched a price of 800,000 Nirvana Pill, leaving many people speechless.

As the auctioned items became increasingly rare, the atmosphere at the auction house grew even more enthusiastic.

However, Lin Langtian was not tempted by these Earth-grade Spirit Treasure. He crossed his long fingers, lowered his eyes, and waited quietly for the item he desired to appear.

Until one moment, when he heard about the next item to be auctioned, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The next item up for auction is rather unusual. It's not Spirit Treasure or elixir, but a peculiar Tree Seed called the Greenwood Origin Tree..."
