The auction gradually concluded, and all items had found their owners.
But the real show was just beginning.
It's widely known that auctions in the Black-Corner Region are divided into two parts.
The first part is inside the venue, where everyone 'friendly' bids. Even if they desire the same item, it's just a verbal battle of not giving in, but ultimately, the highest bidder wins.
The second part, however, is outside the venue.
In the Black-Corner Region, murder and robbery are as common as everyday meals. If there aren't three to five incidents of murder and robbery each day, it wouldn't be the Black-Corner Region.
Taiwan Novel Network has a vast collection of books, ₮₩₭₳₦.₵Ø₥, for you to choose from.
At the auction house, if you can bid for an item, it means you have sufficient financial resources.
But whether you can take the item away depends on whether your strength is sufficient.
Especially for those precious auctioned items, having only financial resources is not enough; you must also possess enough strength to protect them.
With so many good items at this auction, it's impossible for no one to have any ideas... Outside Black Seal City.
Thick dark clouds gathered in the distant sky, creating a sense of oppression, like a storm brewing.
Everyone in Black Seal City knew that what followed would be the real storm of blood and gore!
In the dense forest, teams of people were rushing quickly towards their respective base camps.
Where there are people in the open, there are naturally people in the shadows.
The people from Black Skull Tomb were moving rapidly along a forest path, but a group of people blocked their way.
"Mohan, where are you rushing off to so fast?"
The newcomers were none other than the Blood Sect, led by Fan Ling!
The middle-aged man leading the Black Skull Tomb group's expression changed slightly: "Fan Ling? What do you want?!"
Fan Ling's lips curled into a cold smile: "What do we want? Of course, we want to take yours!"
"Originally, I didn't intend to bother you, but who knew it would be such a coincidence that I'd run into you here."
"So, obediently hand over the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and this Young Sect Master might just let you go."
His words caused the faces of the Black Skull Tomb members to change.
The reason they chose this forest path was to avoid being seen by other forces and to safely return to Black Skull Tomb.
Unexpectedly, they ended up making things worse, as they were still intercepted by the Blood Sect here.
"Fan Ling, by doing this, aren't you afraid of completely igniting a war between Black Skull Tomb and the Blood Sect?!" Mohan shouted.
"Fool, if I were afraid, would I be here?"
"Since you're not sensible, then don't blame this Young Sect Master for not giving you a chance."
"Attack, leave no one alive!"
Fan Ling waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately charged forward.
The strongest among the Black Skull Tomb members were only Dou Ling.
The strongest on Fan Ling's side were also Dou Ling.
But the Blood Sect was prepared and had an absolute advantage in numbers.
The two sides did not stalemate for long before all of Black Skull Tomb's members were wiped out.
Fan Ling found the scroll of Three Thousand Lightning Movement on Mohan.
"A Heaven-tier movement Dou Technique, you can't handle it, so let me have it."
"Young Sect Master, we need to meet up with the Sect Master as soon as possible, otherwise, if we miss the yin yang profound dragon pill, the Sect Master will blame us," a nearby elder reminded in a low voice.
Robbing Black Skull Tomb was just a whim for them.
The Blood Sect's true goal was the yin yang profound dragon pill!
...In another part of the dense forest.
The winner of the yin yang profound dragon pill, Heavenly Serpent Mansion, was quickly heading towards Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
They wanted to safely deliver the yin yang profound dragon pill back as quickly as possible.
But just then, a shadowy figure, reeking of bloodlust, suddenly burst out from the dense forest beside them and landed in the middle of the road.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man in a large red robe, with a sinister and bloodthirsty aura.
Seeing him, Elder Qing of Heavenly Serpent Mansion's expression changed slightly: "Fan Lao? What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to make an enemy of our Heavenly Serpent Mansion?"
"Hahaha, not exactly making an enemy, but I've taken a fancy to the yin yang profound dragon pill in your hands. As long as Elder Qing leaves the yin yang profound dragon pill, we naturally won't trouble you," Fan Lao laughed loudly and said.
Indeed... The moment Fan Lao appeared, Elder Qing already knew what his objective was.
The yin yang profound dragon pill... a pill of this caliber was extremely tempting in the Black-Corner Region.
Since they couldn't get it at the auction, they would make a move outside the auction, which was also an unwritten rule of the Black-Corner Region.
Having money wasn't enough; one also needed strength to truly protect what they had bid on.
"However, you wouldn't think that our Heavenly Serpent Mansion has no one, would you?" Elder Qing's expression showed no panic.
At the same time, from the crowd behind, a beautiful woman in green robes with a slightly bulging belly slowly walked out.
Seeing the woman in green, Fan Lao's expression changed slightly: "You are... Green Savage?!"
Heavenly Serpent Mansion Elder, Green Savage!
After bidding farewell to Xiao Li, she returned to Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
And it just so happened that this Black Seal auction had a yin yang profound dragon pill. Coupled with their understanding of the chaotic order in the Black-Corner Region, Heavenly Serpent Mansion also dispatched Green Savage.
However, Green Savage had been hiding her tracks from the beginning, letting Elder Qing show himself to avoid alerting the enemy.
Therefore, Fan Lao's shock now made sense.
"Sect Master Fan, your Blood Sect is quite bold, daring to even lay hands on people from our Heavenly Serpent Mansion. If I hadn't come today, I'm afraid all of us from Heavenly Serpent Mansion would have become Sect Master Fan's blood slaves." A hint of coldness appeared on Green Savage's beautiful face.
Opposite her, Fan Lao's expression darkened slightly.
Their intelligence did not include Green Savage's existence; this was an unexpected change.
And Green Savage was also a Four-star Dou Huang, her strength on par with Fan Lao's.
But... since things had come to this point, whether they fought or not, the conflict between the Blood Sect and Heavenly Serpent Mansion was already established.
Fan Lao's mind began to ponder.
Just then, Fan Ling arrived with his remaining helpers.
"Father, we're here!"
With the arrival of twenty to thirty Blood Sect members brought by Fan Ling, the situation on the field suddenly became favorable to the Blood Sect again.
Although both sides had Dou Huang experts, the Blood Sect's numerical advantage far surpassed that of Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
Therefore, they could fight!
"Kill them, leave no one alive!"
Fan Lao decisively waved his hand, and the Blood Sect members charged forward.
He himself rushed towards Green Savage.
Green Savage did not flinch, raising her palm and fiercely clashing with Fan Lao.
Boom—!
Neither gained the upper hand!
"Great Desolate Bloodthirsty Palm!"
A huge bloody palm print shot straight towards Green Savage.
Green Savage's expression remained unchanged. She quickly formed several hand seals, unleashing a dark green python.
"Heavenly Serpent Devour!"
The enormous energy python and the bloody palm print collided fiercely, then both dissipated.
Whoosh!
No sooner had the attack finished than Fan Lao's figure suddenly appeared behind Green Savage, then he struck a palm towards her back.
But Green Savage reacted quickly, swiftly countering with a palm strike, but she was forced back several steps.
"Elder Green Savage, if I'm not mistaken, you are currently pregnant with a child."
"Although you and I are both Four-star Dou Huang, you need to use a portion of your power to maintain the safety of the fetus in your womb, so you cannot use your full strength."
"That, to this Sect Master, is the greatest opportunity!"
"Great Blood Hand!"
