The Black Token

Lin Langtian's gaze was fixed on the Black Token held in Li Feier's hand on the auction stage. He never expected that he would actually get the clue he wanted at the Myriad Merchants Auction House!

The peculiar fluctuations emanating from the Black Token might be imperceptible to others, but for Lin Langtian, who possessed the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, it was like an electric shock.

That identical fluctuation is something that nothing in the world can imitate!

Lin Langtian stared intently at the Black Token. After a long while, the joy in his heart gradually subsided, and the deafening clamor that had disappeared around him returned to his ears, allowing Lin Langtian to regain his composure.

Upon receiving confirmation, Lin Langtian couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, "I wonder which generation's owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol this is. I never expected them to be a Reincarnation Stage expert..."

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian felt a surge of excitement. If he could obtain this person's inheritance, it would obviously benefit both Lin Langtian and Heavenly Mansion immensely.

"Even so, it is extremely difficult to obtain this Black Token."

Lin Langtian frowned slightly. Judging from the expressions of the powerful forces in front of him, this Black Token was clearly the target they had been waiting for.

Although they did not know that the Reincarnation Cave Mansion Lord was a previous owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, even if it was a cave inherited by an ordinary Reincarnation expert, it was enough to make them flock to it.

It would be extremely difficult for Lin Langtian to seize the Black Token from these wealthy and powerful individuals.

"This is giving me a headache," Lin Langtian thought to himself.

He and Heavenly Mansion are not yet strong enough to intimidate all the powerful figures here, so he has to sit down and compete for the Black Token related to the inheritance of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol through normal means. However, with his wealth, he is obviously not qualified.

Lin Langtian pursed his lips, but a fierce glint flashed in his dark eyes. Now that he had discovered a clue, there was no reason for him not to let it go. No matter what, he had to get his hands on this Black Token!

"Um?"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes. He then suddenly turned his head and paused for a moment, because he saw that Mu Lingshan beside him was also staring blankly at the Black Token on the auction stage.

"Bro Langtian, that thing seems a bit special..." Mu Lingshan raised her clear, big eyes to look at Lin Langtian, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Yes, it's extraordinary."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly. After all, this Black Token involved the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and it was perfectly normal for Mu Lingshan, as the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, to sense it.

On the auction stage, Li Feier couldn't help but smile as she watched the atmosphere about to erupt. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Black Token in her hand, and she smiled and said, "The auction price for this token is thirty million Xuan Yuan Pill."

Upon hearing this price, the previously riotous atmosphere immediately froze, and then countless people sat down dejectedly.

At this price, not to mention them, even some powerful and wealthy forces would have to think twice. Moreover, this is just the initial price. After a fierce competition, how terrifying will it become?

The commotion subsided considerably at such an astonishing price, and even the major powers at the front frowned, their faces grave.

"Hehe, since no one is going to start, then my Blood Demon Shark Clan will throw out a brick to start the jade." Sha Li stared greedily at the Black Token, then licked his lips and laughed first, "Thirty-two million."

"Although the Blood Demon Shark Clan is powerful, this is, after all, the cave dwelling of a human powerhouse. Nobles, you should not participate. My Boundless Sect will offer 35 million."

A middle-aged man dressed in a black and white robe smiled and said.

He was from the Boundless Sect Boundless Sea Domain, and his background was quite strong. Although he couldn't compare to the Blood Demon Shark Clan, his reputation was not weak either.

"Since everyone is in such high spirits, then my Blood Saber Sect will also join in. Thirty-eight million." The middle-aged man in blood-red clothes, exuding a chilling aura, sneered.

"Hehe, my Heavenly Shark Sect offers forty million."

"..."

"It's started..."

Lin Langtian leaned back in his chair, watching the silent battle unfold before him, his eyes slowly narrowing. This price had effectively eliminated him from the competition from the very beginning.

After all, his Heavenly Mansion was newly established. Although he became famous in the battle against the Yuan Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region and his strength was extremely formidable, his foundation was still shallow. In terms of financial resources, he was obviously inferior to these first-class forces in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Therefore, at present, relying on formal channels, he has lost the qualification to compete with these powerful forces.

"Don't get involved in this kind of fighting..." Lin Langtian turned his head to look at Mu Lingshan. This little girl seemed eager to try again, so he immediately shook his head.

"Why?" Mu Lingshan asked, puzzled. She could tell that Lin Langtian was also very interested in the Black Token.

"Leaving aside whether you can compete with those guys, even if you do win... with the strength of our group, can we take it away smoothly?" Lin Langtian said softly.

Mu Lingshan paused for a moment, and although she was a little reluctant, she nodded. Although she was sometimes mischievous, she was not stupid.

She knew very well that under the watchful eyes of countless red eyes, even if someone successfully won the auction for the Black Token, it would be quite difficult for them to take it away smoothly.

It wasn't just the five of them; the same was true for the major powers that had been vying for it earlier... Other powers that had lost out in the competition would likely not give up on it easily either.

This auction is only the first round of the battle for the Black Token.

call.

Lin Langtian let out a soft breath, coldly observing the increasingly fierce competition. Since he couldn't obtain the Black Token through legitimate means, he would have to resort to unorthodox methods... In any case, he was determined to get his hands on the Black Token!

"Fifty-one million!"

"Fifty-three million!"

"..."

Lin Langtian looked at the various major forces in front of him who were constantly bidding. At this point, the price had reached a very heated level. Even for them, 50 million was not a small amount.

Therefore, when the price was driven up to 55 million again, some powerful forces reluctantly sat down. However, judging from their slightly gloomy expressions, it was clear that they would not give up the Black Token so easily.

It seems everyone understands that winning this auction doesn't necessarily mean obtaining the Black Token completely; at best, it only grants an advantage...

Lin Langtian looked around the arena and saw that only three major forces remained: the Blood Demon Shark Clan, the Boundless Sect, and the Heavenly Shark Sect. Clearly, none of these three forces wanted to give up.

The already exorbitant price, after fierce bidding, finally stabilized at 63 million, and the Blood Demon Shark Clan was the one that offered the final price.

"They really are rich..." Lin Langtian smiled faintly as he looked at the Blood Demon Shark Clan, who had actually stood out from so many competitors, his eyes slightly mocking.

"Hehe, the Blood Demon Shark Clan is truly generous. Although this Black Token may be related to the cave of a Reincarnation Realm expert, it is not yet fully confirmed. Yet, your nobleman is willing to spend such a price to purchase it. You have quite the audacity." Li Lin of the Heavenly Shark Sect narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly at Sha Li.

"I won't trouble Heavenly Shark Sect to remind you, but I think this thing is worth the price." Sha Li snorted coldly. He was also quite angry. If it weren't for Li Lin's argument at the end, the price wouldn't have been so high.

Li Lin smiled faintly and said softly, "Then congratulations, Brother Sha Li. However... I really hope you can bring it back to the Blood Demon Shark Clan safely."

As Li Lin spoke, his smile was clearly a bit strange, while the other major powers also slightly curled their lips, leaning back in their chairs casually, their lowered eyes revealing a hint of coldness.

Sha Li naturally noticed those strange gazes, and immediately let out a cold laugh, saying, "Then let's wait and see."

As one of the most powerful races among the sea monsters, the Blood Demon Shark Clan Sha Li had the confidence to say this!

On the auction stage, Li Feier watched the fierce bidding come to an end and smiled, saying, "Since no one else is competing for it, this Black Token shall belong to the Blood Demon Shark Clan for the price of 63 million Xuan Yuan Pill."

A few low murmurs rippled through the auction hall at this moment. However, what was somewhat strange was that many people had odd expressions, and a hint of greed lurked in the depths of their eyes as they exchanged glances.

"Let's go, the auction is over." Lin Langtian glanced at Sha Li with a smile, then stood up and said to Mu Lingshan and the others.

"Hmm." Mu Lingshan nodded. She understood. Although the auction was over, the real show was just beginning. In the next few days, the Blood Demon Shark Clan would probably have some headaches.

Lin Langtian led Mu Lingshan and the others out of the auction house and then turned into the Myriad Merchants Tower, where he was going to retrieve the items he had obtained at the auction.

Led by a maid, Lin Langtian and Mu Lingshan waited briefly in the VIP room before Li Feier's slender figure came into view.

"Brother Langtian, the items you purchased, including the ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art,' are all inside this Universe Bag," Li Feier said with a smile, handing over a Universe Bag.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then stopped Mu Lingshan from taking out money. He took out a Universe Bag from his pocket and handed it to Li Feier.

"Hehe, don't worry, I have money, I don't need a girl to pay for the time being." Seeing Mu Lingshan's puzzled expression, Lin Langtian smiled.

Although the price of the ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art ' was beyond expectations, fortunately, Lin Langtian had exchanged 20 million Xuan Yuan Pill in advance, so he could still afford it.

Moreover, this top- Heavenly Martial Skill was a gift from him to subdue the Liu Brothers, and he couldn't let it be passed on to others. The favor must come from above. As the head of a prefecture, Lin Langtian had gradually adapted to this identity.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingshan pouted but didn't say anything, clearly having vaguely guessed Lin Langtian's deeper meaning.

As for the Liu Brothers, their faces were filled with excitement, and even their gazes toward Lin Langtian now held a hint of genuine respect.

"The Xuan Yuan Pill for the items being auctioned are all inside." Lin Langtian glanced at the excited Liu Brothers, smiled slightly, and then said to Li Feier.

Li Feier took it without much examination and handed it to the maid beside her, clearly believing that Lin Langtian would not lie.

"By the way, Brother Langtian, things might get a bit chaotic at Myriad Merchants City these next few days, so please be careful," Li Feier said suddenly after a moment's hesitation.

Lin Langtian's eyes flashed. Now that the Black Token had fallen into the hands of the Blood Demon Shark Clan, the other major powers would certainly not be willing to accept it.

Although the Blood Demon Shark Clan is powerful, they are not afraid of offending them. Therefore, if given the opportunity, they will definitely try to seize the Black Token from the Blood Demon Shark Clan Blood Demon Shark Clan, which will inevitably lead to a bloody battle.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Fei'er. Now that the handover is complete, I'll head back now."

Lin Langtian clasped his hands in a fist and smiled at Li Feier, then left without lingering, leading Mu Lingshan and the others out under her watchful gaze.

Just as Lin Langtian reached the entrance of Myriad Merchants Tower, he saw a surging crowd ahead. Then, he saw the Blood Demon Shark Clan group walking in amidst the pointing and whispering of many people. At the head of the group was Sha Li.

When Lin Langtian saw Sha Li, the latter obviously noticed him as well. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward and sneered, "You actually dare to appear in front of me. You've got quite the nerve."

"Heh, I'm not the one in trouble right now... Let's talk about it after you manage to get the goods out of the Myriad Merchants Land smoothly. It seems there's going to be a good show these next few days..."

Lin Langtian gave Sha Li a mocking smile, then said nothing more and walked straight past him, exiting the Myriad Merchants Tower.

"That bastard."

Sha Li looked at Lin Langtian, who was brushing past him, with a somewhat unpleasant expression. His fists were clenched, and it seemed that if the current situation were not so special, he would have already taken action to deal with the latter.

"Let's go, Young Sha Li, hurry up and get the stuff. We still need to discuss how to get out of here. It's not worth wasting time with this kid now," the Blood Demon Shark Clan elder said softly beside Sha Li.

Sha Li took a deep breath and nodded. He knew that they were being watched by countless red eyes, and they really couldn't spare any attention to Lin Langtian...

Lin Langtian led Mu Lingshan and the others out of Myriad Merchants Tower, then looked up at the azure sky. Not far away, dark clouds seemed to be slowly enveloping the area, and within that oppressive atmosphere, there seemed to be a surge of bloodshed.

"The real show is just beginning..."

Lin Langtian clasped his arms and looked at the departing figures of the Blood Demon Shark Clan, then gave a cold smile.

Such a wonderful show couldn't be complete without him...
