The Finale Item, Four Directions Ghost Saber

As he stepped onto the raised platform.

Gu Fan also decided which treasure to auction this time.

All ten items in this auction had sold successfully, and the system had accordingly returned ten rewards.

Among them.

Seven were peak second-tier treasures.

One was a low third-tier treasure.

One was a mid third-tier treasure.

Naturally, Gu Fan chose a peak second-tier treasure from these rewards to auction.

Most of these treasures were natural treasures and magical artifacts, with only one martial technique.

That was the peak second-tier martial technique-Four Directions Ghost Saber!

The God-Devouring Physique could devour natural treasures and magical artifacts as nourishment, but martial techniques alone were an exception.

The former contained abundant spiritual power, and devouring them could raise his cultivation realm.

But martial techniques contained no Spiritual Qi, so even devouring them would accomplish nothing.

Moreover, Gu Fan practiced sword techniques; saber techniques were completely useless to him.

That being the case.

He might as well auction off the burden that was Four Directions Ghost Saber in exchange for spirit stones.

Bu Yi watched Gu Fan approach.

A look of delighted surprise immediately appeared on her somewhat pale face.

The complaints that rang out intermittently in the hall had been tormenting her state of mind.

Only now, seeing Gu Fan take the stage, did Bu Yi feel she had someone to lean on.

As Gu Fan approached, she hurriedly took a step back, yielding the central position.

Seeing this.

Gu Fan gave her a faint smile, then faced the two-thirds of the guests below the stage.

He was greeted by pairs of wide eyes, their anticipation practically spilling out.

Then.

Without wasting words, Gu Fan took a wooden box from the system storage.

As he opened it, he said with a smile, "The eleventh item of this auction, the finale..."

Before he finished speaking, the wooden box was fully open.

In an instant!

Sinister black vapor billowed from the wooden box, enveloping it entirely.

Along with that black vapor.

Ghostly wails and the ringing of sabers abruptly resounded through the hall!

"Wooo..."

"Clang, clang..."

At this sight, cries of astonishment immediately erupted throughout the hall!

"A manifestation! Another supreme treasure!"

"A manifestation no less impressive than that of Eighteen Hands of Subduing the Tiger! It even seems to surpass it! This is definitely a treasure even more powerful than Eighteen Hands of Subduing the Tiger!"

"I heard ghostly wails and the clear ringing of sabers... Such a manifestation is unheard of. Just what sort of treasure is this?"

"It must be approaching a third-tier supreme treasure. Unimaginable!"

"Just as I thought! I said there would definitely be a supreme treasure up for auction today!"

"Hahaha... All those big shots have left. Who in this auction house can still bid against me?"

"This treasure..."

In the hall, the more than three thousand guests who had stayed until now were utterly shaken and overjoyed.

They truly had not come in vain. This auction house really did have a peak second-tier treasure up for auction!

Yesterday, they had already let one slip past them with regret.

Today, they had to secure it!

Besides, all those big shots had already left!

"Gasp! Lineage Head! It really is a peak second-tier treasure!"

In Heaven No. 5's private room, the elder looked at the treasure emanating black vapor on the platform and involuntarily drew a sharp breath as he spoke to the Lineage Head Song.

"Indeed! You've rendered a great service, Third Elder!"

The Lineage Head Song's face could not help filling with joy as well.

Of the five lineage heads, he alone remained here. Who could rival his wealth?

However.

He still did not know... just what that peak second-tier treasure was.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan announced loudly from the stage.

"The finale item, the peak second-tier martial technique... Four Directions Ghost Saber!"

"A martial technique! A saber technique! Lineage Head, it's an offensive saber technique!"

"Huff... huff..."

The Lineage Head Song did not answer the Third Elder's excited words.

Only his eyes... had already turned red.

A peak second-tier martial technique?

Even the guardian technique of his Song Lineage was merely high second-tier!

"Bid! While they're all gone, we must win it quickly!"

It was not just the Song Lineage's private room.

Those who had remained quietly on watch in the other private rooms also paled dramatically at the sight, horrified!

A peak second-tier martial technique... they really were auctioning one?

But the people in charge of their respective lineages had already left!

"Lineage Head! Come back at once! A peak second-tier martial technique is going up for auction!"

Inside Heaven No. 2's private room, the Yan Lineage elder's face twisted as he stared fixedly at the voice-transmission jade talisman in his hand.

He desperately hoped the Lineage Head Yan would reply.

The auction house waited for no one, and every breath of time was precious!

Amid this torment, a voice rang out that made the Yan Lineage elder even more anxious.

"The peak second-tier martial technique, Four Directions Ghost Saber. The starting price is five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, with each increase no lower than one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

That damned announcement of the starting bid!

The Yan Lineage elder's face twisted further, veins bulging on the hand clutching the voice-transmission jade talisman!

"One million low-grade spirit stones!"

That was the first bid.

The Yan Lineage elder's expression changed drastically. He recognized it!

That was the Lineage Head Song's voice!

At the same time.

In the hall, everyone's expressions changed as they heard the voice from the private room.

Jumping straight from five hundred thousand to one million made it clear that he was determined to secure this martial technique!

However.

Someone in the hall immediately gritted their teeth and said, "One million one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

"One million one hundred ten thousand!"

"One million one hundred twenty thousand!"

"..."

As bids rang out one after another.

The atmosphere throughout the auction hall instantly ignited!

Those with the means could spare no thought for anything else, and began bidding freely for the peak second-tier martial technique!

"One million five hundred thousand spirit stones!"

The Lineage Head Song stared fixedly at the martial technique onstage.

No matter how others bid, he would outbid them by several hundred thousand spirit stones!

With the other four great lineages absent from the competition, this was the perfect opportunity to snatch a bargain!

"One million five hundred ten thousand spirit stones!"

"One million five hundred twenty thousand!"

"One million six hundred thousand!"

"..."

At this auction.

Although the leading figures of the major factions had all left.

There were still a great many people with substantial means among those who remained!

Even though the bids had already surpassed yesterday's, the bidding in the hall showed no sign of dwindling!

"Two million!"

A faint chill had already crept into the Lineage Head Song's voice.

Yet another bid followed immediately!

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

That voice came from another private room!

The Lineage Head Song's expression turned cold, and he immediately said, "Two million five hundred thousand!"

"Two million five hundred ten thousand!"

"Two million six hundred thousand!"

"Two million six hundred ten thousand!"

"Hmph!" The Lineage Head Song had figured it out. Those bidding against him were trying to slow the auction down so they could wait for the people in charge to return!

"Paltry tricks!"

With a cold laugh, the Lineage Head Song immediately said, "Three million low-grade spirit stones!"

Three million!

Few could afford such a price anymore!

Regret filled the faces of everyone in the hall. They had thought they could snatch a bargain this time, never imagining that the Lineage Head Song had yet to leave!

"Three million ten thousand!"

Inside Heaven No. 2's private room.

Looking hideous, his beard and hair bristling with rage, the Yan Lineage elder finished shouting his bid, then sent another message to Yan Nantian with a contorted face.

"Lineage Head! If you don't come now, I can't hold on much longer!"
