The Sharp Sword Organization Went Alone
World Association Headquarters.
The entire Sharp Sword Organization, led by Captain Qin Ying, appeared here.
News of the appearance of cultivation technique templates for levels 1-9 in the underground auction has already reached their ears.
Without even thinking, Qin Ying was absolutely certain that this was related to Ji Xinfeng.
I pushed open the door to the Council of Elders room and went inside.
"Qin Ying, what brings you here?"
An elder spoke up to inquire.
Qin Ying spoke up, "Elders, haven't you received the news that a cultivation technique template from Ji Xinfeng's Creation World appeared at the underground auction?"
"We naturally know that cultivation technique templates from the cultivation world have appeared, but how can we conclude that this is related to Ji Xinfeng?"
One elder responded, and the other elders nodded in agreement.
"Qin Ying, let's just let this matter drop. Don't get involved in the underground auction."
Hearing the elder's words, Qin Ying's eyes hardened, and he clenched his fists.
"Elders, even if we can't be 100% certain it's related to Ji Xinfeng, the chances are very high. There's a strong possibility that there are members of the Giant God Cult there!"
The rest of the Sharp Sword Organization chimed in, "Elders, we share this view, so we urge you to mobilize manpower to seal off and investigate the auction."
One of the elders, his expression growing impatient, spoke up:
"Do you really think the people of the Giant God Cult would be so foolish as to expose themselves like this?"
"Qin Ying, take your team and leave. You're overthinking this."
Qin Ying stood there without making the slightest move.
His lips twitched slightly, a surge of anger rising within him. He suppressed it and spoke in a low voice:
"Elders, even if there's only the slightest possibility, shouldn't we go and investigate?"
"Ji Xinfeng died fighting the Giant God Cult to protect humanity and everyone!"
"Shouldn't we give him an explanation, avenge him, and let him know in the afterlife?!"
Seeing Qin Ying's appearance, one of the elders sighed.
"Sigh, it's not that we don't want revenge. The investigation into the Giant God Cult has been ongoing all along, didn't you know?"
"This underground auction involves too many forces, Qin Ying. We are advising you, not harming you."
Qin Ying clenched his fists. "I respect all the elders. You have all made contributions and climbed to your positions step by step, and you know how to consider the overall situation."
"But I, Qin Ying, am just a small-time captain of the Sharp Sword Organization. I only know how to be responsible for my teammates."
"This time, I won't trouble you elders. I, Qin Ying, will go to the underground auction in my own name!"
After Qin Ying finished speaking, he turned around and left immediately.
The remaining members of the Sharp Sword Organization exchanged glances and then resolutely spoke up:
"We also went to the underground auction in our personal capacities."
They followed Qin Ying's footsteps and eventually disappeared outside the gate.
The elders, still in the conference room, watched their disappearing figures in silence for a moment.
Are we just going to let them leave and cause trouble at the underground auction?
"Sigh, let him be. His mind is made up, and we can't stop him even if we try."
Back to the underground auction venue.
Auctions for cultivation technique templates have already begun.
Everyone participated in the bidding.
As for the possibility that this item might be related to the World Association, they are not worried at all.
Even if you search for them at the auction house, you won't find them. Besides, they're not weaklings to be easily bullied.
Starting at a bid of 30,000 points, the price has soared to over 80,000 points.
The number of bidders has decreased significantly, but it's still far more than any previous auction.
"Eighty-three thousand points. If you all can help our Snow Eagle Organization, we will definitely thank you properly afterward."
"Hmph, what kind of ability do you Snow Eagles have? You're thanking us for 85,000 points!"
"Nine thousand points? Be more generous with your bid, otherwise people will think you can't even compete and are just settling for less."
"The Shadow Organization is certainly generous, so we, the Night Organization, will take you to a whole new level: 100,000 points!"
The Night Organization called out 100,000 points, and the bidding in the arena stopped for a moment.
They began to discuss what the bottom line for bidding should be for their organization.
Sitting in the corner, Shen Hui couldn't stop smiling, despite his disguise.
It seems I underestimated the value of this item. Shen Hui originally estimated that it would be worth around 80,000 points at most.
They've now reached 100,000 points!
After a brief pause, an organization started bidding again.
However, this bidding process, which involved over 100,000 points, has already eliminated most of the participating organizations.
Only a few are still bidding.
Each time an offer is made, each organization hesitates for a while, no longer so decisive.
After all, these points represent almost all of their current assets.
In this fiercely competitive bidding phase, all organizations are gambling, betting on the bottom line of the opposing organization.
The final price was set at 140,000, and it was auctioned off by an organization called Qingming.
"Congratulations to the guest on the third floor for winning the bid!"
Qingying smiled and congratulated them, saying that achieving such high scores would allow them to earn even more.
All consigned items have been auctioned.
Qingying said, "Guests, please take a short rest. We can proceed with the handover of this auction."
"The auction of items from the Chaos Forbidden Domain will begin shortly."
Qingying then withdrew to prepare for the next auction.
Everyone present relaxed. The auction of the cultivation technique template had not only kept the participants on edge, but also most of the onlookers.
Individuals or organizations that previously won items at auctions are now taking advantage of this time to redeem their winnings using points.
Organizations that didn't have enough points also started mortgaging various items and resources to exchange for points.
They essentially exchanged mortgaged items for items won at auction.
However, if you run out of points or have some left over, you'll need to spend extra points to redeem the pledged items, so you'll have to use other items and resources to offset the debt.
Shen Hui also took this opportunity to check his points at the designated inquiry center.
The previous points, plus this 140,000, have all been credited to my account.
After confirming that everything was correct, Shen Hui sat back down in his seat.
But not long after, someone shouted at the entrance:
"The World Association is here!"
