"Golden Crocodile..."
Upon hearing this name, Zhou Chen appeared calm on the surface, but he was still shocked inside!
Golden Crocodile Douluo, in the original story, was the Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, over 150 years old, and of a higher generation than Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. He was a figure on par with Chen Xun, the grandfather of Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
Even Pope Bi Bi Dong treated him with great deference.
Most importantly, this person is already a level 98 Peak Douluo, with Soul Power several times higher than that of ordinary titled experts. Even if all six titled Douluo of the Purple Micro Palace attacked together, they might not be able to defeat him!
The presence of such a powerful figure in his residence made Zhou Chen, who was always cautious, feel extremely unsafe.
Fortunately, this Golden Crocodile Douluo seemed to have no ill intentions for the time being, and even apologized to him on behalf of the Spirit Hall.
Whether Golden Crocodile is genuinely apologizing or just playing a delaying tactic, Zhou Chen is willing to play along.
Acting is my forte.
So Zhou Chen stared straight at Golden Crocodile Douluo and said in a serious tone, "Senior is joking. I am naturally broad-minded and kind-hearted, so how could I hold a grudge against the Spirit Hall? Let bygones be bygones."
"Haha, that's good."
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily a few times, but a hint of doubt flashed in his cloudy old eyes.
Although he hadn't left the Douluo Hall for fifty years, it didn't mean he didn't understand Zhou Chen.
According to the Spirit Hall's intelligence, Zhou Chen is a vengeful, ruthless, and extremely treacherous person. It is unlikely that he would easily reconcile with the Spirit Hall because of an apology.
Is Hu Liena really that charming that she can make Zhou Chen give up his hatred?
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked into Zhou Chen's eyes. Generally speaking, the eyes are the windows to the soul and are unlikely to lie.
However, from Zhou Chen's eyes, Golden Crocodile Douluo could only see one emotion: "Sincerity"!
This dispelled some of his doubts about Zhou Chen.
Perhaps, because of his love for Hu Liena, Zhou Chen is truly willing to coexist peacefully with the Spirit Hall.
Golden Crocodile Douluo came here not only to protect Hu Liena, but also to carry out a mission entrusted to him by Grand Elder Qian Daoliu:
That is to observe Zhou Chen try to temporarily reconcile with him.
After all, the Spirit Hall already has enough enemies, whether it's the Upper Three Sects or the two great empires, none of them are easy to deal with.
If the Purple Micro Palace were added to the mix, even with the formidable strength of the Spirit Hall, they would feel immense pressure.
Of course, Qian Daoliu also said before Golden Crocodile left that if Zhou Chen's hatred for the Spirit Hall was too deep and the two sides could not reconcile, then they should resolve the matter by force.
Qian Daoliu had already arranged the specific plan: after the auction of the Longevity Pill, he and Bi Bi Dong, two Level 99 Peerless Douluo, would take the lead, along with the Seven Great Offerings of the Spirit Hall, to destroy everything in the Purple Micro Palace. They absolutely could not allow the Purple Micro Palace to continue to grow!
Even if it offends the mysterious Xuanyuan Family behind Zhou Chen, we must eliminate this hidden danger.
Zhou Chen was unaware that, thanks to his superb acting skills, he had escaped a catastrophic disaster...
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Night.
The silver moon was like a plate, and the stars twinkled.
Heaven Dou City, city center.
In front of a hemispherical building with a diameter of 500 meters and a height of 80 meters, colorful beams of light continuously streak across the night sky, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.
These dozens of beams of light were generated by ancient Lighting Soul Guidance Device. Each of these Soul Guidance Device is priceless, which gives you an idea of how powerful the owner of this place must be.
This enormous building has no nameplate, only a hammer symbol.
This hammer doesn't represent a blacksmith's hammer, but an auction hammer used in auction houses!
That's right, this is the auction house, or more precisely, the largest and highest-standard auction house in the Heaven Dou Empire — the Heaven Dou Auction House.
It is said that there is nothing they dare not sell here, whether it is slaves, weapons, rare Immortal Herb, or even the Soul Bone known as the Blood River Treasure.
And tonight, the Heaven Dou Auction House is destined to go down in history.
This is because the largest auction in a century is about to take place here, and there is only one item up for auction: the Longevity Pill that countless powerful people are crazy about.
At this moment, Heaven Dou City was in turmoil. Countless figures and carriages quickly poured out from all directions, all heading in the same direction: Heaven Dou Auction House!
A dense crowd and a constant stream of vehicles arrived, almost completely blocking the roads near the Heaven Dou Auction House, with shouts and arguments heard from time to time.
Fortunately, no one dared to use force here.
Because the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has already dispatched 50,000 City Garrison to take control of the entire area within a ten-mile radius of the auction house.
The City Garrison guards, clad in bright silver armor, with imperial-standard longswords at their waists and shields and spears in hand, stood in neat rows on both sides of all the roads leading to the Heavenly Heaven Dou Auction House.
Moreover, in order to more effectively control the situation, the City Garrison also brought out ballistae, Torsion Catapult, and other powerful weapons specifically designed to deal with Soul Master.
Five hundred Royal Knights' Soul Master and more than ten Royal Guards were also hidden in the shadows, ready for battle.
The reason why the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is so interested is largely because the Heaven Dou Auction House is their business.
Moreover, based on the auction commission of 0.5%, if this Longevity Pill auction is a great success, the royal family will gain at least several million Gold Soul Coin in pure profit!
Moreover, the organizer of this auction, Purple Micro Palace, is related to the royal family by marriage, so the Heaven Dou Imperial Family can be considered to be helping their own people.
At this moment, a bright red carpet was laid out in front of the auction house, and on both sides of the carpet stood tall, beautiful young women.
These girls all moved in the same way, with their hands in front of them and smiling, which made them quite endearing.
However, no one paid attention to these pretty young girls; everyone's attention was focused on the three people standing at the door wearing badges of the Purple Micro Palace.
These three individuals, Qin Ming, Wang Sheng, and Marx, are all Soul Douluo powerhouses above level 80. The powerful Soul Power emanating from their bodies caused everyone who passed by to feel a sense of oppression and trepidation!
Using three Soul Douluo powerhouses to welcome guests, Purple Micro Palace really has a grand display. No wonder they dare to call themselves the First Sect Under Heaven!
Many people with ulterior motives were also deterred and abandoned their evil intentions.
At this moment, groups of people would occasionally enter through the red-carpeted entrance, and each time this happened, it would elicit low gasps from the surrounding onlookers.
Because almost all the guests attending today's auction are renowned experts and powerful figures.
These important figures have all appeared together today, which is a once-in-a-century event!
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Qin Ming and the other two powerful figures from the Purple Micro Palace greeted them with smiles and welcomed them into the auction hall with hospitality.
