"That voice..."
Qin Hao could hardly believe it.
Familiar!
So familiar!
And he definitely hadn't heard it recently.
It was a voice he had heard long ago on the True Martial Continent, though it differed somewhat from the voice in his memory.
"Venerable Hun Yan?"
Qin Hao wasn't certain.
The voices sounded alike, but they weren't quite the same.
Inside the Ten-Thousand Poisons King's private room.
The Ten-Thousand Poisons King froze, baffled.
He had joined the Auction Bidding for the twenty Soul-Stabilizing Divine Vines to put pressure on Qin Hao. Now someone else had joined the Auction Bidding too.
And...
Only because that person found it amusing?
The Ten-Thousand Poisons King said nothing.
He might be wealthy, but he wasn't about to squander money like that.
He couldn't bring himself to join the Auction Bidding for twenty Soul-Stabilizing Divine Vines at five million Low-Grade Origin Crystals.
"Five million, going once!"
"Five million, going twice!"
"Five million, sold!"
Tianmo's voice climbed higher and higher, his face flushed with excitement. Never in the auction's history had an item sold at such an enormous premium. He called out, "Congratulations to our guest on winning the twenty Soul-Stabilizing Divine Vines! Someone will deliver them shortly!"
Tianmo steadied himself, collected his thoughts, and continued, "Now, please welcome our next treasure..."
The auction went on!
The clash between Qin Hao and the Ten-Thousand Poisons King hadn't interrupted it in the slightest.
A short while later.
Inside Qin Hao's private room.
A maid entered carrying a wooden basin and said respectfully, "Young Master Qin, here are your twenty Soul-Stabilizing Divine Vines."
Qin Hao stared at the twenty vines before him, his gaze strange and unwavering.
If he had still harbored doubts before, he was certain now.
It was Venerable Hun Yan!
