Yu Yue was also aware of the problem that Qin Shi was thinking about. She asked curiously, "That's right. That shouldn't be the case. If the Eight Regions have news, why hasn't anyone from our Sword Sect come?
Besides, you're a disciple in seclusion now. If Sect Master Fang Qing is interested in the treasure map, he should have informed you earlier and sent you here. "
"That's not strange. Three thousand years ago, the Sword Sect was suddenly attacked. Sect Master Fang Qing could be said to have accepted the mission in the face of danger, but Sect Master Qi Qing left in a hurry. Perhaps there was no legacy left." What happened to the Sword Sect in the past was not a secret in the eight regions.
Qin Shi nodded after pondering for a moment. That was indeed a possibility. However, he immediately regretted it. "If I knew this would happen, I would have asked her when I was in the Sword Pavilion."
"Little guy, you don't have to worry. There will be a chance, right?" The fiend smiled.
Hearing that, Qin Shi was stunned. He nodded with a smile, but then he shook his head. "There is indeed a chance, but the premise is that we can solve the Demon Night Roland first. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk."
"Don't be discouraged. Wait for the little girl's news first. If it doesn't work, I will protect you even if I have to waste another ten thousand years of cultivation."
"Forget it." Qin Shi rejected the fiend.
Previously, the fiend's attitude towards the Demon Night Roland was so serious that Qin Shi had never seen it before. Therefore, Qin Shi understood that even if the fiend had a way to help him suppress the Demon Night Roland, it would not be as simple as sacrificing one's cultivation. It was very likely that it would lose its life.
And he would not let anything happen to the fiend just to survive.
"I hope there will really be a miracle in this world." He thought to himself. Then, his gaze focused on the treasure map on the central balcony.
He had once proudly declared that the treasure map was fated with him. Now that the most important part of the treasure map had finally appeared in the world, it also meant that the god artifact in the treasure map might be about to descend into the mortal world again.
His heart couldn't help but ripple.
"Alright, since everyone has come prepared, I won't waste any more of your time. Let's begin the final auction!
Divine Artifact Treasure Map, starting price, one million! "
As the woman in charge of hosting the event finished speaking, the atmosphere of the audience was ignited to the highest point.
"1.5 million!"
"2.3 million!"
"Three million!"
"3,550,000!"
In the blink of an eye, the value of the treasure map skyrocketed at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, its value had increased by several times.
Qin Shi continued to observe. Although this kind of craziness was rarely seen in auctions in the past, it was still within his expectations. Since it was a treasure that was being targeted by all eight regions, it naturally wouldn't be ordinary.
Three million could be considered a watershed. Qin Shi wasn't the only one who understood this. Qin Xue Xin, as well as the disciples from the other eight regions, were also aware of this. During the previous three million, almost none of them had made a sound. It was only when the number had exceeded three million that many disciples could no longer keep up in terms of finances. Only then did they smile in understanding.
"Five million!"
The first to open his mouth was Xiao Yan from the Blazing Domain. He had remained silent ever since he had entered the auction ground. He had shouted a high price the first time he bid, causing quite a commotion.
"Five million … dammit!
This Xiao Yan is too vicious. The points we have on hand are not enough to compete for a few rounds! "Some of the small factions from the eight regions immediately revealed dissatisfaction.
However, the five million points in their eyes were basically destroyed in an instant.
A middle-aged disciple from the Dragon Regiment stood up. Qin Shi wasn't unfamiliar with him. He was a Domain Realm disciple called Li Xiang. He had followed beside Zhao Longyuan during the Deity Region Ceremony and could be considered one of the upper echelons of the Dragon Regiment. Now that Zhao Longyuan was dead, he naturally became the leader of the Dragon Regiment.
"Ke ke, brother Xiao Yan is indeed extravagant. The moment you bid, it is a one million ripple. I am so frightened that I am hesitating whether I should bid or not."
"Less nonsense. I think that the Forbidden Region has prepared quite a lot of funds this time around, right?" Li Xiang stood up, causing Xiao Yan to frown.
Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders, "It's not much. However, we are not satisfied with just five million. Since brother Xiao Yan is so extravagant, we cannot be weak, right?
Six million! "
"Ke ke, the two of you are really elegant. Why don't you bring one from my Desolate Region?"
Kong Hyun-hui's beautiful figure slowly stood up from a corner. When she stood up, she first looked at Qin Shi and smiled faintly at Qin Shi. Only then did she raise her waist tag, "Seven million!"
"Wind Region, eight million!" Kong Mu made his bid.
"Nine million!" Xiao Yan once again gave chase.
The increase in the price by a million instantly caused everyone to be stunned. This was no longer a simple auction between ordinary disciples. Undoubtedly, it had already become an open and veiled battle between the eight regions.
Finally, the only ones who did not bid were the four great regions. The Chaotic Region, the Refining Region, the Sword Sect, and the Blue Snow Sect. The Sword Sect and the Blue Snow Sect were managed by Qin Shi and Qin Xue Xin. The reason the two of them did not bid was because they knew that the time was not right.
On the Refining Region's side, the many disciples were already badly battered because of this.
"Where is Lord You Nu?
Is she not here yet? "
"No, I don't know. I have not seen her figure since the start of the auction."
"Dammit, I have just advised her not to lose the big picture because of a small matter like the Poison Alliance. Currently, she is the representative of our Refining Region. She has actually disappeared at this time!
How am I going to explain this to the Region Leader when I return! "An older disciple appeared to have lost his soul.
It was also because of this that the other large regions let out a long relaxed sigh. "It is fortunate that Zi Lingsha is not here. Otherwise, given that crazy woman's character, there is no telling what kind of trouble she would cause!"
Qin Shi frowned when he heard the discussion. He had already expected this. Given Zi Lingsha's position in the Refining Region, she would definitely be the representative of the Refining Region this time around. Others might not know, but he clearly knew that Zi Lingsha had not appeared because of the Demon Night Roland in his body. He could not help but feel guilty and blamed himself.
"I really owe her more and more." Qin Shi clenched his fist tightly. At this moment, he was even more anxious to obtain the Shattered Snow Rhododendron for Zi Lingsha.
Of course, there was one thing that Qin Shi could not understand. Why did the Chaotic Region, which had always been in the limelight, not make a move?
In fact, when he shifted his gaze, he saw that the disciples from the Chaos Realms had all gathered together and were leaving the auction hall.
This made him feel strange. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"That's strange. This doesn't seem like the Chaotic Region's style."
Haoyue smacked her lips. "That's normal. In such a situation, the Chaotic Region would definitely be the first to make a move."
Hearing this, Qin Shi could not help but ponder. As the saying went, when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. He also felt that the Chaotic Region's unusual behavior was definitely a conspiracy.
Xu Qingfeng pondered and said, "They just left like that. Do you think they are going to ambush us outside?
No matter who wins the Divine Artifact Treasure Map in the end, they will directly snatch it? "Xu Qingfeng said after thinking for a moment.
Haoyue nodded and said, "That's possible. In previous auctions, it is not rare to see people kill and rob. Moreover, the Chaotic Region is notorious.
That way, not only can they get the Divine Weapon Treasure Map, but they can also save a lot of points. "
"But that shouldn't be the case. This is the summary of the God Territory. Aren't they afraid of being punished by the eight territories?
This is not a small matter. "
"Hmph, haven't you heard?
That Divine Weapon can resist the eight territories. Maybe Yao Ming wants to get the Divine Weapon and unify the eight territories! "
The three of them continued to discuss. Qin Shi was silent. Was it really like what Xu Qingfeng had said?
He felt that something was not quite right. Even though Yao Ming was crazy and vicious, he would not do something so stupid. After all, even if he had the Divine Equipment Treasure Map, activating the Divine Equipment was not something that could be done overnight. Offending all seven regions at the same time was undoubtedly a suicidal act.
But if that was not the case, why did the Chaotic Region's disciples all leave the auction?
He could not understand. At that moment, the price rose rapidly. In a blink, it had reached more than ten million. Next to him, Qin Xue Xin finally stood up.
"13.14 million!"
Qin Xue Xin's voice was cold. However, after she read out the number, she gently lowered her head and looked at Qin Shi.
13.14?
It had soared by almost three million. The disciples of the eight territories were shocked. This number was not a coincidence.
Qin Shi abruptly recovered from his shock. Others might not understand, but he clearly understood that Qin Xue's heart was undoubtedly expressing something to him. A wave of warmth involuntarily flowed in his heart.
"Shi Tou, this is my promise!" Qin Xue Xin murmured softly.
Qin Shi's heartstrings trembled, and he immediately hugged the weak figure in his arms. "Thank you, thank you. I will always remember this. You and I will embrace each other for the rest of our lives."
Many disciples of the eight territories were envious. Most importantly, Qin Xue Xin had raised the price by almost three million just for this number.
Ying Huo saw the loving couple from the side. He clenched his fists in anger. "Brat, for the rest of our lives?
Hmph, one day, I will make you wish you were dead! "
The Blue Snow Sect had made their move. The scene became chaotic again.
Moreover, the high price of thirteen million had reached an unprecedented height. This caused many people to hesitate.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Many disciples surrounded Xiao Yan in the Blazing Domain.
Xiao Yan clenched his teeth. He inhaled a deep breath of air, "What can we do? Although this auction is a competition between the eight regions, the eight regions have a rule that forbids internal funding to secretly support others. Otherwise, we will definitely be surrounded. Thirteen million points. This is equivalent to nearly seventy million points from my region. I have already reached my limit. Hand over all the points in your hands to me."
"Okay!" They did not hesitate and took out their points at the same time.
After receiving the points from the other disciples, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "14 million!"
Boom!
When the bid of 14 million rang out, another wave of excitement rose. Qin Xue Xin frowned. She had thought that three million would be enough to shock the other seven territories.
