The Ninth Auction Item (1/2, Please Vote for the Monthly Ticket)

Fang Yue thought so, but what happened next was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The Black Bird Auction continued to put several more items up for auction, all practical anomaly objects. Most of the attendees eagerly bid on them.

But Fang Yue's heart sank.

Even when the eighth item went up for auction, he still hadn't seen Qing Chen or Tian Rui Chi.

"Congratulations to Guest Number Seventy-Two, who has won this [Evil Spirit Strange Fire] for the high price of 200 Silver Stones! A naturally formed primordial flame, it's a great tonic for any martial artist who cultivates fire!"

Clown, the host, loudly announced the result. Many people in the audience kept glancing toward the buyer.

"That guy's here too!"

"The Sixth Elder of the Blazing Fire Sect is showing his real face without even trying to hide it..."

"Looks like the Blazing Fire Sect and the Extreme Ice Sect's conflict has reached a boiling point. They've even come to the Black Bird Auction, a place they've always looked down on, to buy items and increase their strength."

The Blazing Fire Sect's Sixth Elder?

Fang Yue frowned and glanced over. The man was just an ordinary-looking, burly middle-aged man.

But the aura emanating from him clearly belonged to a human-level martial artist!

"Heh! Naturally formed?"

Ming suddenly sneered.

"The Black Bird Auction sure knows how to spin a tale. Nearly ten thousand lives were tormented day and night by the [Spirit Sucking Anomaly], until their life force was drained away, just to condense a wisp of Evil Spirit Strange Fire. To make a clump of it this size, they must have sacrificed the lives of people from more than a dozen villages and fed them to the [Spirit Sucking Anomaly] as nourishment."

"What did you say?!"

Fang Yue's expression shifted.
