Three Dou Kings Vie for Supremacy, Xiao Ze Makes His Move (Third Update, Seeking Collections)

"I want this ancient beast hide!"

"Who agrees, and who objects?"

A cold voice rang out from the private box. Under the terrifying pressure of a Dou Wang, everyone felt a chill in their hearts; no one dared to court disaster.

Even the dozen or so Dou Ling experts dismissed any thoughts of bidding.

Just as everyone assumed this Tier 6 ancient beast hide would fall into the hands of this Dou Wang expert, a clear, resonant voice drifted through the air.

"Old Ghost, others may fear you, but This Seat does not!"

"This Seat offers one Tier 5 medicinal pill!"

The next moment, another aura, equally belonging to a Dou Wang expert, slowly permeated the hall, beginning to confront the aura of the previous one.

"A-another Dou Wang?"

The people in the venue were stunned, especially the local factions of Wutan City, who felt completely numb.

Accustomed to rarely even seeing a Dou Ling expert, how could they have imagined that one day they would witness two Dou Wang experts clashing?

This terrifying momentum was deeply branded into their fragile hearts.

"Old Poison, why aren't you staying in your Hundred Poison Cave? What are you doing here?"

"Could it be that you also wish to oppose me?"

Old Ghost Dou Wang spoke in a deep voice, his tone laced with profound chill. His sharp words were like a blade, thrusting straight toward his opponent.

"Heh," Old Poison Dou Wang chuckled, "Old Ghost, what is the meaning of this?"

"The Tier 6 ancient beast hide is an ownerless object. Since it is now at an auction, it naturally goes to whoever offers the highest price."

"Where is there any talk of opposition?"

His body trembled slightly, and a vast surge of Dou Qi erupted, effortlessly neutralizing the other's offensive pressure.

"Hmph! Old Ghost, we shall see!" The Hoarse Dou Wang snorted coldly. Releasing his momentum, he announced loudly, "I offer two Tier 5 medicinal pills!"

Two Dou Wang auras clashed within the auction hall.

The formidable pressure left the others unable to breathe.

"Gentlemen, this is the Mittel Auction House. I hope you will refrain from fighting here!" As the Dou Wang pressure intensified, the Dou Wang expert stationed at the Mittel Auction House finally intervened.

In an instant, he easily dispelled the terrifying momentum that had been weighing down on everyone.

"Phew... I'm alive." Many began to gasp for air. They were still shaken, having nearly felt certain of death under the collision of the two Dou Wang auras just moments ago.

It was fortunate that the Mittel Clan's Dou Wang expert had stepped in.

Just as everyone was quietly observing the standoff between the two Dou Wang experts, another unfamiliar voice rang out from a second-floor private box.

"Since this item has caused such intense competition between the two of you, then This King shall join in the fun as well!"

Whoosh—

A third Dou Wang aura rapidly permeated the hall.

"Three Dou Wangs?" The crowd, who had just escaped death, stiffened once more. They never expected that three Dou Wangs would show up at this auction!

It was truly an eye-opening experience.

"It's over, it's over. If I had known it would come to this, I should have slipped away earlier!" With the appearance of the third Dou Wang, some in the venue began to regret not leaving sooner.

Now, being forced into the middle of a competition between Dou Wangs was truly an unprovoked disaster that left them unable to voice their grievances.

"Hm? Your aura is somewhat unfamiliar, Excellency. You do not seem to be from our Gama Empire, are you?" Sensing the sudden third party, Old Ghost Dou Wang and Old Poison Dou Wang frowned, and Old Ghost Dou Wang spoke in a deep voice.

"Heh..." the third Dou Wang chuckled, "Why? Does the Gama Empire not welcome outsiders?"

"Of course not." Old Ghost Dou Wang's eyes were sinister, "I merely wish to remind you, Excellency, to be mindful of your safety while traveling in the Gama Empire."

"After all, the waters of our Gama Empire run quite deep!"

"Heh, there is no need for you to remind me of that, Excellency. This King will be careful..."

With the third Dou Wang joining in, the bidding became even more intense.

Soon, the price of the Tier 6 ancient beast hide climbed to five Tier 5 medicinal pills!

For an ordinary Dou Wang expert, five Tier 5 medicinal pills were already their limit; many Dou Wang experts did not even possess a single Tier 5 pill!

This went to show that all three of these Dou Wangs possessed considerable wealth.

VIP Room No. 1.

Xiao Ze watched the clash between the three Dou Wangs below in silence.

He did not act rashly, intending instead to wait until they had fought to a conclusion before delivering the final, decisive bid.

"Tier 6 ancient beast hide..."

"Information that can be recorded on an item like this must at least reach the Dou Zong level."

"Could it be that what is recorded on this piece of ancient beast hide is the burial ground of a Dou Zong powerhouse?"

"Or perhaps, is it a piece of a treasure like the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame map?"

"But regardless of which it is, it seems quite good to me..."

"Forget it, no matter what it truly is, I will bid for it first and study it carefully later."

The contention between the three Dou Wangs quickly neared its end.

In the end, Old Ghost Dou Wang proved superior, suppressing the other two Dou Wangs with five Grade 5 medicinal pills and the main ingredient for a Grade 6 medicinal pill, temporarily taking the lead.

Just when everyone thought this Tier 6 ancient beast hide would fall into his hands, and even he himself thought so too.

Suddenly—

A voice, calm as water, drifted through the air.

"This old man bids one Tier 6 magical beast core!"

BOOM!

These words were like a large boulder thrown into a calm lake.

It instantly shocked everyone in the venue.

Who was it?

Who on earth was it?

Who was so bold as to dare snatch an item from the hands of a Dou Wang powerhouse?

Swish, swish, swish—

Countless gazes turned in unison toward the direction of the voice.

They were all curious as to what kind of person would dare offend a Dou Wang powerhouse just to purchase this seemingly useless Tier 6 ancient beast hide.

"It's the Ancestor!" Within the crowd, Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance. He looked in surprise toward the direction of the voice, which was precisely where his Xiao Clan ancestor was located.

"The Ancestor is participating in the auction?"

"Could this Tier 6 ancient beast hide really have an astonishing origin?"

Xiao Zhan could not figure it out for a moment, but since the Ancestor had made a move, it meant the Ancestor was determined to obtain it. As a descendant, he could only silently support him in his heart.

"Hmm? Which ancestor of the Xiao Clan is this?" On the auction stage, Ya Fei tilted her fair neck, her gaze fixed on the direction from which the voice came.

When she discovered the voice came from VIP Room No. 1, a flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes. She had not expected that the person participating in the auction would be that mysterious ancestor of the Xiao Clan.

"This is interesting..."

"To actually dare compete with a Dou Wang powerhouse."

"Ancestor of the Xiao Clan, are you truly not worried at all?" A mischievous glint flickered in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes.

She was now even more curious about this Xiao Clan ancestor.
