Special Guests! Robbery and Murder?

Starlight Auction House was clearly desperate to get rid of the cursed Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, so the handover went exceptionally smoothly.

Lu Yi handed over his still-warm Gold Soul Card and received the cold carving knife in return. Yet he had never felt more excited.

He stroked the blade that radiated such intense malice toward him. Its bone-chilling cold seeped into his fingers, but he only gave it a wicked smile.
