Chapter 3739: Die Hard

to flee the scene.Xiaoqing had already been waiting by the side. Seeing him, she immediately rushed over like lightning."Damn old man, I see you running that way."Xiaoqing punched out, and Fangjing w...He made it clear that he was determined to win, and then Zhao Xingfeng bowed respectfully to Jian Juechen and Han Lingkuang.

He only had eyes for these two people in the entire marketplace, everyone else were insignificant ants to him.

Though this method somewhat violated the rules of Zexinglou, since they hadn't explicitly complained and merely pushed the boundaries, Miao Jiuxi didn't feel comfortable saying anything.

Jian Juechen and Han Lingkuang were both interested in the Jiuyue Blood Lotus, but seeing each other's attitude, they knew that fighting for it would only result in mutual destruction.

He also figured out that the other party was most likely giving this thing to Zhao Xinfeng, so he dismissed his previous thoughts and didn't raise a sign.

With the two of them standing by, no one else dared to challenge the Zhao family.

After a moment of silence, the room was completely still. No one raised their paddle to bid anymore.

Zhaoxingfeng felt a wave of relief in his heart. It seemed like this Jiuyoushelian was going to be his.

If ten million spirit crystals could bring this treasure back, it would definitely be a bargain. Going back would also earn the admiration of the Grand Elder.

The auctioneer on stage shook his head slightly. He certainly didn't want to end it like this. His gaze swept across the audience below: "This esteemed guest has bid 10 million mid-grade fairy crystals, are there any higher bids"

“This is an eleventh-order Spirit Herb, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't miss it!”

He didn't have much hope to begin with, he was just trying anything, a Hail Mary play.

Before he could finish his sentence, another license plate was raised from the audience.

"I'll bid two million!"

It was Ye Bufan who spoke. He had his heart set on the Nine Nether Blood Lotus and wouldn't let anyone else take it.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room turned to look, wanting to see who dared to compete with the Zhao family for the treasure.

When they saw him, the crowd erupted in astonishment.

Most of these people went to the schoolyard to watch today's competition and naturally knew that it was this young man who eliminated the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, he now came over to compete with Zhao Xinfeng for the treasure.

"Who is this kid Is he going to fight the Zhao family to the death"

"Crazy, I think he's crazy, this is going to completely offend the Zhao family…"

"Isn't this guy brainless He really thinks that by relying on a woman and eating soft food, he can challenge the power of the Seven Great Families He's far from it..."

The crowd buzzed with whispers, but Ye Bufan remained unfazed, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Zhao Xinfeng's expression was frighteningly grim, his eyes blazing with fury.

To be so brazenly provocative towards the Zhao family, he had never seen anything like it in all these years.

If he wasn't at Zhexing Building, he probably would have slapped this kid to death right now.

"What are you looking at, are you going to bid or just stare"

Qin Muyue glared right back, saying that since she promised to protect Ye Bufan, she would keep her word.

Only then did everyone present realize why this young man was so arrogant. It turned out he had the backing of Qin Family's little witch.

"Thirty million!"

Zhao Xingfeng let out a cold snort. He had no choice; this was Zixing Building, where there were powerful figures at the Immortal Venerable level. He couldn't afford to provoke them. And Qin Muyue before him He couldn't afford to provoke her either.

Having no other choice, he could only raise the sign again, increasing the price by another ten million.

Thirty million is already close to the normal value of the Jiuyou Blood Lotus. Bringing it back to the Han family can only be described as average, not a great achievement at all.

As it turned out, he had overthought things. Ye Bufan once again held up the sign in his hand.

"Fifty million!"

"This..."

As soon as the price was announced, the crowd erupted in excitement.

Suddenly increasing by 20 million, it was definitely a loss to get the Jiuyue Blood Lotus at a price of 50 million.

In their view, Ye Bufan's lavish spending was solely aimed at targeting the Zhao family and had nothing to do with the Jiuyou Blood Lotus.

"You..."

Zhao Xingfeng was radiating killing intent, every inch of his body brimming with it. If looks could kill, he would have dismembered the person in front of him a thousand times over.

Ye Bufan, however, smiled faintly at him: "Zhao Gongzi, what's wrong You don't seem very happy. Are you unwilling to let me bid with you"

But there's no way around it, this is the Stargazing Pavilion. Whoever has the most fairy crystals gets to take away the treasure.

"60 million!"

Zhao Xinfeng suppressed the anger in his heart, gritting his teeth and spitting out this price.

This was already his last bottom line, to bid for the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, Zhao Qinglian only gave him 50 million mid-grade immortal crystals.

After all, the normal market price of this thing is around 30 million. 50 million is already a serious loss. If it weren't for Zhao Xingyun, he definitely wouldn't be willing to prepare so many spirit crystals.

And now with a bid of sixty million, he has put all the immortal crystals in his ring on the line.

After he had quoted the price, he silently prayed in his heart that the other party wouldn't have any fairy crystals, and hoped that they were just bluffing and wouldn't dare to compete with him again.

The result once again disappointed him, Ye Bufan raised the sign in his hand without hesitation.

"Eighty million!"

Though the crowd had been shocked several times already, they couldn't help but gape in disbelief at this moment.

"Eighty million, this is eighty million mid-grade Xianjing! It's already more than twice the true value of the Jiuyu Blood Lotus."

"Bastard, are you crazy You dare to go against the Zhao family I assure you, from this day forward, there will be no more Lingyun Sword Sect!"

Zhao Xinfeng, already penniless, couldn't help but roar in anger. He was already filled with hatred in his heart. If this auction failed again, he would inevitably be scolded by the Great Elder when he went back.

The new and old grudges combined, he hated him to his core.

"Master Zhao, are you threatening me"

Ye Bufan stopped Qin Muyue, who was about to lose control, and looked at Miao Jiuxi beside her.

"Lord Overseer, I was threatened at the Stargazing Pavilion auction. Do you think you could give me an explanation for this"

"Zhao Xingfeng, how dare you!"

At this moment, Miao Jiuxi's face was gloomy, devoid of his previous smile. He emanated the aura of a superior being from head to toe.

As the largest commercial institution, Zhāxīnglóu has been running smoothly for so many years, which naturally relies on strong backing.

With his status and position, he would not fear even the sect leaders of the Three Sects, Five Factions, or Seven Great Families, let alone a mere disciple from the Zhao Family.

"Master..."

Zhao Xinfeng's anger vanished at that moment, and he realized he had made a grave mistake.

"Come here, get him out of here for me. Blacklist him and never allow him to set foot in the Star Picking Tower again!"

Miao Jiuxi's voice was filled with authority, and then four guards rushed forward, dragging Zhao Xingfeng away.

Approaching the main hall doors, he kicked them open with a single foot.

Though Zhao Xingfeng was a strong cultivator at the early stage of Immortal Monarch, he dared not resist in the slightest.

The powerful aura of a celestial being, hidden in the shadows, pressed down on him with immense force, leaving him unable to even budge.

Just now, he had violated the taboo of Zexing Building. If he attacked the guards again, he might not even be able to save his own life.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of all, the eldest son of the Zhao family was directly driven out of Zhexing Building.

The auction continued, but under these circumstances, naturally no one bid anymore.

The auctioneer slammed down the gavel, and the Nine Nether Blood Lotus went to Ye Bufan.

Soon, a waiter carrying a tray walked over. He paid with spirit crystals and then took the Jiuyou Blood Lotus into his hand. Immediately, a wave of rich blood qi rushed towards them.

"Great stuff!"

Ye Bufan was delighted in his heart. This wasn't just an ordinary Jiuyou Blood Lotus, but a top-grade one with a very long history.

Qin Muyue watched, sucking on a lollipop, and shook her head.

"I said, aren't you a fool Spending so much money on something like this isn't worth it at all."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! a wave of fetid stench.Ye Bufan turned his head and saw a giant monster charging towards him at high speed from afar.This guy is simply enormous, several times larger than the Jiuyou Yintian Python....
