The Phoenix Race's unexpected withdrawal caused the crowd to cry out in alarm.
However, the two beast races were rather happy. After all, they had one less competitor.
Now, the price had already soared to a hundred million Divine Spirit Crystals. From the looks of it, the price was still rising crazily.
Although the Tian Peng Race and Devil Bird Race had some business dealings, they wouldn't back down when it came to the World Tree seed.
"A hundred and ten million."
"A hundred and twenty million."
At this moment, everyone was reduced to spectators. Even Fang Chen felt helpless.
He hadn't expected the price to soar like this. Was an abandoned seed worth such a high price?
On the stage, Luan Jing's face was filled with excitement.
Before this, she had been worried that there would be an awkward silence. Who would have thought that the Tian Peng Race and Devil Bird Race would be so crazy?
"Continue rising," Luan Jing prayed in her heart.
The higher the price, the more commission she would receive and the greater her reputation would be.
It wasn't easy to be in their line of work. To be able to receive such a special treatment was already pretty good.
What they valued more was reputation. If the transaction volume of this large-scale auction broke the previous record, she would definitely become famous.
A hundred and fifty million, a hundred and seventy million, a hundred and ninety million, two hundred million.
The price was still rising crazily. The crowd was completely dumbfounded.
In the last row, the three godkings of the Sword Palace sneered inwardly as they watched coldly.
"Hmph, these two beast races are really stupid. They actually bid such a high price for an abandoned seed," sneered the Black Sword Godking.
"That's right. They really think that they can repair the seed after buying it," said the Godking Yan Yu disdainfully.
As for the Godking Chan Chen, his expression said it all.
The three of them were only waiting for the auction to end quickly. Then, they would use thunderous means to capture Fang Chen.
Time passed by slowly.
As the price of the final item soared, the Black Bird Godkings and the Dragon Roc Godkings were also trying to persuade each other to give up.
However, neither of them was willing to give up.
When the price soared to 300 million divine spirit crystals, the speed of increase finally slowed down.
The two godkings were helpless, but they wouldn't give up.
For a moment, the auction entered a state of anxiety.
"I wonder who will get it in the end," Fang Chen thought to himself.
However, no one noticed that the blood-robed old man beside Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze swept across VIP rooms one and two, then he nodded and said, "It's about time."
He slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "I bid 500 million Divine Spirit Crystals."
Although the blood-robed old man's voice was not loud, it instantly broke the silence in the auction house.
The two Divine Emperors, who were deep in thought, were startled when they heard the voice. Their faces immediately darkened.
At this time, there was actually someone who dared to compete with them. This was simply courting death.
An uproar broke out in the auction hall.
Countless warriors widened their eyes and looked at the blood-robed old man in disbelief.
"Old man, you will be punished if you lie about the price."
"That's right. I advise you not to play to the gallery. Otherwise, the South Pole Chamber of Commerce will not let you off."
"Not to mention the South Pole Chamber of Commerce, even the two Beast Clans won't let you off easily."
Many people were worried about the blood-robed old man, hoping that he would be careful when bidding.
The original 300 million was already a big deal. Now that the price had been raised to 500 million, it was a huge leap.
Fang Chen was also a little shocked. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the blood-robed old man.
"500 million!"
Fang Chen was a little confused. The blood-robed old man looked lazy, but he had suddenly bid 500 million. Wasn't he too rich?
No wonder he had said that his target was the final item.
"Who are you?"
Divine Emperor Long Peng spoke as the crowd exclaimed.
"It's none of your business who I am," the blood-robed old man said indifferently, ignoring Divine Emperor Long Peng.
"Do you know that you will offend both Beast Clans by doing this?" Divine Emperor Long Peng's voice was full of threat.
Divine Emperor Black Bird from VIP room two also spoke. "I advise you to be careful. The Demon Bird Clan is determined to get the World Tree Seed.
If you want to compete, you will be making an enemy of the Demon Bird Clan. "
The blood-robed old man laughed. "How laughable. The reason the South Pole Trade Association is so famous in the South Pole is because of its fair and just rules.
For large auctions, as long as you can pay the price, you can participate in the auction.
Do you think you two Beast Clans can force me? "
The blood-robed old man looked at Luan Jing.
Luan Jing was startled and hastily said, "This old mister's words are reasonable. Our South Pole Trade Association is fair and just. As long as you can pay the price, you can participate in the auction.
There's no need to threaten us. "
Luan Jing's words were like a slap to the two Godkings' faces.
However, she represented the South Pole Trade Association. She wasn't afraid of the two Godkings.
"Old man, are you sure you want to go against our two Beast Clans?" Divine Emperor Long Peng and Divine Emperor Black Bird still refused to give up.
"Are the two Beast Clans very powerful? How come I don't sense any of that?" asked the blood-robed old man indifferently. There was no fear on his face.
After a moment of silence, Divine Emperor Long Peng once more said, "In the South Pole, our three Beast Clans are the absolute rulers.
What you're doing is very unwise. You'll only bring disaster upon yourself. "
"That's right. If you continue to be so stubborn, no one will be able to protect you," said Divine Emperor Black Bird.
The blood-robed old man directly ignored the two Godkings. "Little girl, since no one is bidding, shouldn't we announce the result?"
Luan Jing nodded. According to the rules, that was the case.
However, in her heart, she didn't want to announce the result. She was still praying that the two Godkings would bid again.
"You!"
Divine Emperor Long Peng was infuriated, but in the South Pole Trade Association's territory, he couldn't openly attack.
"Five hundred and ten million Divine Spirit Crystals," said Divine Emperor Long Peng.
"One billion."
As soon as Divine Emperor Long Peng finished bidding, the blood-robed old man raised the price to one billion. That sudden increase shocked everyone.
Fang Chen frowned. He was wondering just who this blood-robed old man was.
"Heavens, is he crazy?"
"One billion Divine Spirit Crystals? Can he really take out that much?"
"He's determined to go against the two Beast Clans."
After a short moment of silence, a clamor resounded throughout the auction house.
On the stage, Luan Jing's body began to tremble.
One billion Divine Spirit Crystals, that was definitely a record for all the auctions she had been in charge of. No one would be able to break it in a short period of time.
"Great!"
Luan Jing clenched her fists. Her chest heaved. She was extremely excited.
"One billion and ten million." Divine Emperor Black Bird clenched his teeth.
"Two billion."
However, something even more blood-curdling happened.
The blood-robed old man raised the price to two billion again.
Even Luan Jing couldn't bear the increase.
Fang Chen, who was standing at the side, was shocked.
"Two billion? That's ridiculous. I don't believe it.
I request the South Pole Trade Association to investigate this person, "said Divine Emperor Black Bird furiously.
The South Pole Trade Association had a rule that no one was allowed to make false bids.
If they were found to have made false bids, they would be severely punished.
Divine Emperor Black Bird believed that this person had definitely made a false bid. Otherwise, there was no way he would raise the price so casually.
"That's right. I suspect that this person is here to cause trouble. I ask the South Pole Trade Association to investigate this person," said Divine Emperor Long Peng.
The two Divine Emperors' attitudes were the same. They firmly believed that the blood-robed old man was making false bids.
"This …"
For a moment, Luan Jing was in a difficult position.
"Hmph, how ridiculous. Is two billion Divine Spirit Crystals a lot? Just because the two of you can't take out that much doesn't mean others can't," sneered the blood-robed old man.
"Bullshit! Why would my Tian Peng Race care about two billion Divine Spirit Crystals?!" cursed Divine Emperor Long Peng.
"No matter what, if the South Pole Trade Association doesn't investigate this person today, then I, Divine Emperor Black Bird, will lower myself and do it myself," said Divine Emperor Black Bird coldly.
"Your suggestion is in line with the South Pole Trade Association's rules," said Luan Jing.
