You've Got the Wrong Person

The price of 60 million was very close to the original psychological bottom line, which made everyone feel quite uncomfortable. They were unwilling to give up directly, but it was not worth continuing to raise the price. They were in a dilemma.

After a moment of silence, top-tier forces such as Qiankun Cave Heaven, Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Illusion Demon Sect, Heavenly Tablet Sect, and Suspended Valley, who aspired to the cave dwellings of Cycle Stage Expert, began to tentatively and rather laboriously raise their bids.

"Sixty-one million!"

"Sixty-two million!"

"Sixty-three million!"

The major forces were quite cautious and tacit in raising prices, not daring to significantly increase them. They were working together to test Lin Dong.

Sixty-six million!

When Xie Yan, Little Yama King Young Cave Master of the Evil Wind Cave Heaven, gritted his teeth and announced the highest price in history, almost everyone waited for the figure's reaction.

"Seventy million!"

Lin Dong didn't even lift his eyelids, calmly quoting a brand new price.

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the entire room.

"Awesome, awesome, my friend! You're so great, does your mother know? I have a daughter..." In an instant, all sorts of complicated thoughts flooded everyone's minds.

"Hehe, this friend is truly wealthy. We are completely outmatched. Qiankun Cave Heaven is withdrawing from this auction."

In the seats of Qiankun Cave Heaven, a handsome White-robed man smiled easily. He was tall and slender, and his hands radiated a lustrous glow like white jade. His overall demeanor was quite remarkable.

Zhou Qian, the Young Cave Master of Qiankun Cave Heaven — the Qiankun Hand!

"My Illusion Demon Sect is withdrawing from this auction."

On the west side, a Black-robed youth turned his head and looked deeply at Lin Dong, as if he wanted to remember his appearance forever, before speaking indifferently.

"Our Heavenly Tablet Sect withdraws..."

"I'm withdrawing from Suspended Valley..."

"I..."

In the blink of an eye, most of the seven or eight groups that had been filming withdrew.

The exorbitant cost of 70 million Xuan Yuan Pill was something these forces were unwilling to bear, so they came up with a simpler and more brutal method.

Only the seats in the Evil Wind Cave Heaven remained silent.

"Seventy million! A full seventy million Xuan Yuan Pill! Why doesn't he just rob someone to buy a clue for seventy million? Why is he going against my Evil Wind Cave Heaven? Who exactly is this person?!"

Xie Yan, the Young Cave Master of Evil Wind Cave Heaven, clenched his fists and roared in a low voice, extremely unwilling. He was the one who had just shouted out the highest price of 66 million, but he did not expect that Lin Dong would easily surpass it in an instant.

He brought a total of 90 million Xuan Yuan Pill with him on this trip. He had already spent 30 million on the purchase of the Lower Grade Pure Yuan Treasure, the Heavenly Phoenix Void-Shattering Bow. He thought that the remaining 60 million would be enough, but he did not expect Lin Dong to raise the price to this level on his first bid.

They barely managed to raise another ten million from the other elders, but that rich bastard surpassed them again. How the hell are they supposed to compete now?!

"Young Master, I think I know this boy."

An elderly man standing beside Xie Yan spoke uncertainly.

"Hmm? You know him?"

Xie Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this; it seemed like a good opportunity to break through, and he immediately leaned closer.

"Gentlemen, is there anyone else who wants to continue being afraid?"

On the high platform, Tang Dongling suppressed her joy and said in a trembling voice.

In fact, the moment Lin Dong shouted out the astronomical price of 70 million, Tang Dongling knew that everything was settled, and the subsequent withdrawal of several major forces confirmed this.

"Wait a moment, I have something to say."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Yan, the Young Cave Master of the Evil Wind Cave Heaven, stood up.

"Hmm? Xie Yan? Shouldn't his financial resources be nearing their limit? Or did I misjudge?"

Tang Dongling was just going through the motions, was slightly taken aback. But how could she be afraid of customers in business? She then smiled gently and said, "Please speak, Little Yama King."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Lin Dong, right? Lin Dong, you killed my Evil Wind Cave Heaven Elder, Elder Xie Gu, and didn't even spare his two disciples. Your methods were vicious and your crimes were heinous. The sect has already issued an arrest warrant for you."

"Today, I, the Young Cave Master, will give you a chance to atone for all your sins. As long as you hand over that Silver Tower to me, I can have the sect drop the arrest warrant for you, and all past transgressions will be forgiven. How about it?"

With a hint of arrogance and self-importance, Xie Yan looked at Lin Dong with a mocking expression. He couldn't wait to see how Lin Dong, now that he had caught him red-handed, would fawn over him.

"You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not the Lin Dong you are looking for."

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong glanced at Xie Yan, who had stood up, and responded casually.

"How dare you! Lin Dong, this Young Cave Master has long known your identity. Don't push your luck. My Evil Wind Cave Heaven is watching you every moment."

Xie Yan's face turned pale, and he stared at Lin Dong with a rather unpleasant expression.

"Miss Tang Dongling, I, Lin Dong, participated in the auction at your Heavenly Merchant Pavilion, but I was threatened by other bidders because my bid was too high. Even the personal safety of customers in the auction room could not be guaranteed. Heavenly Merchant Pavilion is truly unworthy of its name as a millennium-old merchant guild."

Lin Dong ignored Xie Yan's barking and instead looked at the exquisite woman in a fiery red robe on the high platform.

"Xie Yan, this is my Heavenly Merchant Pavilion, not your Evil Wind Cave Heaven. No one is allowed to disrupt the order of the auction. This is the foundation of my Heavenly Merchant Pavilion."

Tang Dongling frowned and immediately rebuked him.

The beauty initially thought Xie Yan got up to follow the bidding, but who knew this guy was there to threaten Lin Dong into withdrawing from the auction? Wasn't this ruining the reputation of her Heavenly Merchant Pavilion? Heavenly Merchant Pavilion wasn't afraid of that Evil Wind Cave Heaven.

"You still dare to say you're not Lin Dong? You've already admitted it yourself!"

With bloodshot eyes Xie Yan couldn't help but roar loudly.

"Oh, so I misremembered. No, I am Lin Dong. So what do you want? Hit me? Come on, hit me! Please, just kill me already! You're not a man if you don't."

Lin Dong casually changed his tune.

"Lin Dong! You're asking for death!!"

With a burning rage in his heart, Xie Yan clenched his fist and smashed the chair next to him with a muffled thud, sending splinters flying everywhere.

"Insolence! Where are the two elders?!"

With a frosty expression, Tang Dongling waved her slender hand, and the two elderly men who had been standing behind her like statues immediately stepped forward. Their immense and overwhelming pressure spread rapidly across the field like a tide.

"Bang!"

Xie Yan, who was the focus of attention, was forcefully pushed back into his seat. Fortunately, he was supported by a quick-thinking, white-haired old man beside him, otherwise he would have made a huge embarrassment.

The Death Mysterious Stage! Both old men were at the Lesser Completion stage of the Death Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement!

"Xie Yan, if you dare to act recklessly in my Heavenly Merchant Association again, don't blame me, Tang Dongling, for turning my back on you without hesitation and ordering the two elders to expel you all!"

The beautiful woman in the red dress spoke with a fierce look in her eyes and an unfriendly expression.
