All Who Provoked the Zhang Family Would Die!
Upon hearing Blazing Plains True Lord's words, Zhou Qingwu's face showed an apologetic expression, and she respectfully said:
"I'm sorry, senior, the Demon-Seeking Pearl is extremely difficult to make. It requires special Secret Method and special materials to create Demon-Seeking Pearl one."
"My Zhang Family only possesses a little over a thousand Demon-Seeking Pearl."
"I know your sect is very powerful. Not to mention the Demon-Seeking Pearl, you could easily empty the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild Lingxiao Immortal City."
But buying all the Demon-Seeking Pearl is probably impossible.
Zhou Qingwu first acknowledged the strength of the Southern Bright Flame Palace, and then expressed her refusal.
This is more acceptable than a direct and decisive refusal.
This is especially true for high-ranking members of powerful organizations who are extremely concerned with their image.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Qingwu's words, Blazing Plains True Lord's tone softened, "You little girl, you know how to talk."
No wonder you became the Chief Auctioneer.
"Even if you sell them one by one, my Nanming Demon-Seeking Pearl Southern Bright Flame Palace will still buy them all."
"Senior, please be patient." Zhou Qingwu smiled and spoke gently, "There are only one thousand Demon-Seeking Pearl available."
But now, the entire Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, and even the entire South Sea Immortal Continent, are threatened by the Demonized Creature.
The supply of these Demon-Seeking Pearl simply cannot meet the demand.
To prioritize the overall situation, the Family General divided the Demon-Seeking Pearl into multiple portions and auctioned them off in various Immortal City within the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain.
To prevent power from monopolizing power, my Zhang Family has set the rules.
Each faction can bid for a maximum of two Demon-Seeking Pearl.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people from the four major Nascent Soul factions on the fourth level darkened.
They all originally wanted to bid on all the Demon-Seeking Pearl, and to that end, they even sent people to other Immortal City to participate in the Auction.
The goal is to acquire as many Demon-Seeking Pearl as possible.
But now, the Zhang Family's rule has completely blocked that path.
Two coins are auctioned at one auction house, so only sixty coins are available across thirty auction houses. Moreover, the competition among various forces is fierce, and some auction houses cannot even obtain a single coin.
It's impossible not to be angry!
Which of their factions doesn't have tens of thousands of disciples? Who would need a few dozen Demon-Seeking Pearl?
So you think your Zhang Family is so magnanimous?
While some are angry, others are happy.
There were only four Nascent Soul cultivators present at the auction.
They each won two, so there are two left.
This proves that these Golden Core Faction also have the opportunity to compete for the Demon-Seeking Pearl.
Just then, inside a private room on the third floor, a Golden Core cultivator snorted coldly and questioned:
"Considering the bigger picture?"
"Since the Zhang Family wants to consider the bigger picture, why not make the secret techniques and methods for creating the Demon-Seeking Pearl public?"
This is what it means to consider the overall situation, and this is how you can gain the approval of everyone in the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain and even the South Sea Immortal Continent.
Auction like this now is just a way to inflate the value of the Demon-Seeking Pearl and make money off Spirit Stone, isn't it?
Why bother with such high-sounding rhetoric as "putting the overall situation first"?
Hiss!
Everyone present gasped upon hearing this.
At this moment, they even felt a faint but palpable killing intent surrounding them.
Those Nascent Soul cultivators on the fourth floor wore thoughtful expressions.
Anyone who dares to say such a thing is either Horizon, vicious rogue Rogue Cultivator.
They are either people from forces that have a grudge against the Zhang Family or people they have bribed, such as the Feather Immortal Sect.
Of course, it could also be Demon Race.
Although we don't know which situation he was in, this guy certainly spoke their minds.
The entire auction hall fell silent for a full five breaths.
Zhang Chongxian slowly walked off the stage, stood beside Zhou Qingwu, and slowly began to speak:
You're right.
"My Zhang Family does want to earn Spirit Stone, but does that conflict with considering the overall situation?"
Without an Auction, you don't even have the right to see the Demon-Seeking Pearl!
"If we wanted to, my Zhang Family could easily sell these thousand Demon-Seeking Pearl to Nascent Soul cultivator at a high price."
Why hold such a grand Auction?
Why bother dividing a thousand Demon-Seeking Pearl into more than a hundred portions and transporting them to various Immortal City?
What's the point of doing this?
"Shouldn't my Zhang Family earn Spirit Stone for the Demon-Seeking Pearl we developed ourselves?"
"As for why you don't make the method for creating the Demon-Seeking Pearl public, hehe."
"The fact that you can even ask that question proves you're an idiot!"
"Since you're an idiot, then..."
Die!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chongxian conjured a large hand of spiritual energy.
They rushed straight into the private room of the person who had spoken earlier.
"Not good!"
The Golden Core cultivator clearly hadn't expected Zhang Chongxian to suddenly attack in front of everyone.
He quickly channeled his spiritual energy, trying to escape.
But it was too late.
The powerful spiritual force blasted open the private room and grasped it in its palm.
Looking at the aged face of the person before him, Zhang Chongxian confirmed his suspicions.
He said coldly, "Your Qi and Blood are depleted; you only have two years left to live."
Heh, you old codger, are you from the Feather Immortal Sect?
Or is it Demon Race, Evil Cult?
"Fine, since you dared to come and say such things, we won't get any useful information out of you."
Rest in peace.
Before the words had even finished, Zhang Chongxian clenched his right hand tightly.
The old man's body was crushed into dust.
The blood was enveloped by a burst of spiritual energy and did not splatter on the people present.
After burning the corpse to ashes with Spirit Talisman, Zhang Chongxian coldly swept his gaze across the entire scene.
"Who else wants my Family General the method for creating the Demon-Seeking Pearl to the public?"
Step forward, and I promise I won't kill you!
As the voice faded, the entire hall fell into a Dead Silence.
No one dared to speak.
Guaranteed not to kill?
Only a fool would believe that.
The rumors weren't unfounded; Zhang Chongxian is indeed a madman.
He would kill someone at the slightest disagreement.
Although the killing was not wrong, it really startled them all.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Chongxian's emotionless voice rang out again:
"The fortuitous opportunity that my Zhang Family risked our lives for, it belongs to the Zhang Family!"
How to handle it is up to my Zhang Family.
It's none of their business to criticize.
Those forces that want to use this to tarnish the reputation of the Zhang Family, you've got a bad idea!
The Zhang Family acts according to our own conscience and will not be bound by external factors!
"Those who provoke us, death is your only destiny!"
"Light Dance, the auction continues."
After saying that, Zhang Chongxian disappeared from the auction stage.
The reason Zhang Chongxian said so much was because he wanted everyone to understand that this person was from a rival force of the Zhang Family.
It was perfectly reasonable to kill him.
They wanted to protect the Zhang Family's reputation as much as possible.
Zhou Qingwu bowed slightly.
"Respectfully seeing off the Ancestor."
His eyes were filled with admiration and respect.
The moment Zhang Chongxian left, the scene erupted in chaos.
Holy crap! That's incredible!
Golden Core True Person can be killed without hesitation!
This is so Zhang Family!
"Haha, luckily Laozi was smart enough to trigger the Image Recording Stone in advance. The whole scene just now was recorded by the Image Recording Stone."
You can admire the majestic figure of Silent Void True Lord whenever he makes a move!
"Damn, bro, I'll pay five hundred Spirit Stone for that Image Recording Stone."
"You think you're so great? Get lost..."
"Mid-grade Spirit Stone."
"Hahaha, brother, you're truly a dragon among men! I love dealing with people like you. Here, take this Image Recording Stone."
All of this came quickly and went quickly.
The forces that wanted the Family General reveal the method for creating the Demon-Seeking Pearl kept this idea to themselves.
Other forces might try to reason with you, but the Zhang Family won't.
That means they can just kill anyone they want!
