Chapter 2194: Chapter 2020: The Auction Begins (Fourth Update)

Before the auction grand meeting began, the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader passed by the box where Ye Chen was and paused for a moment.

“Zhou Clan Patriarch!”

Ye Chen nodded politely. Although he was placed in the lowest-grade box, he had a good impression of the highly authoritative Cosmic Sky Clan Leader. Even though many major forces wanted to distance themselves from him as quickly as possible, the respectful treatment they received from the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader was worth respecting as a sage predecessor.

The Cosmic Sky Clan Leader merely nodded indifferently and left directly without responding.

This scene also made many big figures even more convinced that the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader also seemed to cold-shoulder this Master Qian, intentionally avoiding.

Ye Chen’s expression did not change, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Could it be that he also misjudged the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader?

Just at this moment, the voice of the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader suddenly echoed in his heart: “Young friend Qian, during the auction, if there’s a chance, leave Cosmic Sky City from the transmission array in the box. Try not to come back.”

Ye Chen was slightly startled, then became even more respectfully grateful towards the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader.

This head of the clan, the Nine Tribulations God King, although due to the entire Cosmic Sky Clan’s reasons, did not want to offend the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans too much, still had the intention to help him. Placed in this seemingly shabby box, there was a transmission array left inside, allowing for a safe escape.

“Thank you!”

Ye Chen sent a sincere message of thanks.

Inside the box, Ye Chen indeed discovered the transmission array. It was very well-hidden, and with his mastery in arrays, he naturally deduced the coordinates for teleportation to a region millions of miles away from Cosmic Sky City.

Additionally, this was a one-time-use transmission array. Once used, it would directly collapse, leaving no trace.

The kindness of the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader was etched in Ye Chen’s heart.

Although there was a prior feud between Ye Chen and the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans, many people soon became engrossed due to the auction’s commencement, starting to bid.

“The once-in-a-decade auction grand meeting is about to begin. With all the esteemed guests present, I won’t waste too many words and will start the auction directly. Now presenting the first auction item—”

As the auction item was brought forward, accompanied by the auctioneer’s inciting words, the atmosphere immediately became lively and vibrant.

One after another, extraordinary treasures appeared, including the handwritten notes of the Nine Tribulations God King, treasures and pills related to alchemy, etc., intermittently sparking true exclamations and excitement at the auction grand meeting, with many big figures from various major forces scrambling to bid, causing a frenzy.

“Thirty million for the first time, is there anyone else who wants to bid? This is a rare treasure of the ages, irreplaceable—”

“Thirty million for the second time, really, is there no one left wanting to bid? If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another, and there might not be many chances in a lifetime to obtain it—”

“Thirty million for the third—, someone has bid, thirty-five million now, is there anyone higher—”

The auctioneer sold with a very inciting style, the price of the auction items being raised continuously, often reaching tens of millions, shaking the entire venue.

Some auction treasures had even exceeded hundreds of millions, though the Spirit Stones in the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain were far less than those outside, appearing more scarce, but for the big figures from various major forces, they were willing to pay any price to obtain their desired treasures.

Overall, the entire auction grand meeting seemed quite lively.

During the auction period, there also appeared some unexpected events.

For example, during the auction of the fifteenth treasure, a seductive and scantily clad woman presented a fruit on stage, covered with dense scales, and each scale was inscribed with special Dao patterns, though it was a fruit, it exuded a faint supreme pressure—

Dragon Power!

The auctioneer addressed the many big figures: “Everyone, this is no ordinary fruit, but a Dragon Scale Fruit. It’s widely known that the Dragon Clan is a powerful race, especially a Pure Blood True Dragon, which is hailed as a supreme being. Once fully grown, it is an esteemed supreme-level existence across time.”

“Wherever there is a Pure Blood True Dragon, extraordinary exotic fruits are often nurtured, like the Dragon Soul Grass that was supposed to be auctioned, which is said to contain the True Dragon Soul of a Pure Blood True Dragon. Once a dragon takes the Dragon Soul Grass, there is a certain hope of transforming its old body, achieving a Pure Blood True Dragon, and soaring across the heavens.”

“Unfortunately, the Dragon Soul Grass was privately exchanged with its owner before the auction grand meeting began, so it cannot be auctioned.”

Upon hearing this, many big figures’ expressions changed, as many had come for the Dragon Soul Grass, especially the Alchemists.

“The Dragon Soul Grass was privately traded? Impossible, who exactly?”

“Who took the Dragon Soul Grass away?”

The Auction Hall was in an uproar, for it was the Dragon Soul Grass, and many major figures had specifically prepared corresponding means to acquire it through the auction, but now the auctioneer said that the Dragon Soul Grass had already been traded privately with its owner before the bidding began.

They all wanted to know exactly who, before them, had traded for the Dragon Soul Grass.

The Three Great Alien Emperor Clans were similarly agitated, each with a gloomy face, for one of their reasons for coming was to gather information about the Combat Saint King, and another was the auction of Dragon Soul Grass at the Cosmic Sky Festival’s auction grand meeting, which had drawn them here.

If the Alien Emperor Clan obtained the Dragon Soul Grass, the goal was to cultivate a Pure Blood True Dragon for the alien race, a future supreme-level being, and perhaps even locate that mysterious Dragon Clan land.

It’s said that in the Chaos Sea, aside from a few Pure Blood True Dragons, all other Pure Blood True Dragons exist or are buried in the mysterious Dragon Clan land.

The primordial Ancestor Dragon was no different…

The auctioneer looked at the astonished and noisy major figures below. If not for the treasures suppressing the Auction Hall, and the many big figures from the Cosmic Sky Clan, including the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader, he would certainly be anxious, but at this moment, he was somewhat flustered, explaining with a bitter smile: “Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the owner and the trader of the Dragon Soul Grass, these are confidential details, which our Cosmic Sky Clan cannot disclose.”

“Unacceptable, I came specifically for the Dragon Soul Grass, the Cosmic Sky Clan must give an explanation!”

“Many of us came here for the Dragon Soul Grass, and now you say it has been traded privately; how can we accept this.”

“Breach of trust, is this the way of the Cosmic Sky Clan?”

“Tell us, who traded secretly and acquired the Dragon Soul Grass!”

Many big figures present spoke, the atmosphere was very tense, and many people involuntarily released pressure.

The auctioneer on stage showed a slight change in expression, because seated were the actual main decision-makers of various top forces, none of whom he could afford to offend.
