Chapter 848 - 766: Human Pet, Calm Down
There exists an upstream in time, fighting desperately to leave information for future generations?
This… is truly astonishing.
The upstream of time, that earth-shattering battle, what on earth was it about? To this day, it still remains heavily shrouded in mystery.
The Ten Spirits extinguished, the path ahead uncertain… who could fathom the turbulence within the years?
“And moreover… it’s most likely left by an old friend…”
The Big Black Dog whispered, saying,
“Perhaps it’s a last testament from you guys, or the Ten Spirits!”
A last testament!
The Big Black Dog, never one to speak without shocking others, left Long Zixuan and the others greatly stunned.
… This ancient beast skin, its significance is indeed enormous.
“Let’s go, we shall attend the auction!”
Qing Chen immediately spoke up.
Given the situation, their presence at the auction was imperative.
As for the covert manipulator behind the auction… they didn’t care.
Fishing?
Those people would not know that what they’re fishing for is not fish, but a dog!
…
Suddenly, the city was astir.
Factions swarmed in, and the World-Stabilizing Pavilion auction house became the center of universal attention.
…
Meanwhile, at a certain place.
“Elder Lu, look, this is what the World-Stabilizing Pavilion is going to auction off soon. Do you think it’s related to Martial Honor?”
A young man handed over a crystal displaying images to an old man.
This group of about six or seven people were all taken aback upon seeing the crystal.
“This… it does look like a Martial Honor relic!”
“Where did this thing come from?”
The crowd mused.
The elder known as Elder Lu took the crystal, examined it once, and said gravely,
“No mistake.”
“It is a Martial Honor relic!”
“That scroll could be an ancient law left behind by Martial Honor.”
It was confirmed.
“…We must acquire this item.”
From amongst the people, a young man in a brocaded robe stepped forward and said,
“This ancient law given to the Young Master, he will most likely succeed in summoning the final List of Martial Lords!”
The “Young Master” in his words is their common follower, a true chosen one.
His goal… lies within the List of Martial Lords.
“The Young Master is in Central Continent, waiting for the List of Martial Lords. I shall handle the matters here on his behalf.”
The young man in the brocaded robe smiled slightly and said,
“I heard that in the Beilin Dynasty capital, there emerged a few so-called martial wonders who could take on a thousand foes alone, proficient in the laws of martial path… Maybe they could become followers of the Young Master.”
A faint sense of superiority played across his face.
“Young Master Cen, the items related to Martial Honor are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to obtain, let alone be auctioned off… I feel, there must be something fishy going on.”
Elder Lu cautioned.
However, the young man in the brocaded robe, Cen Mingyi, replied indifferently,
“The forces behind this auction are most likely those Ban Explorers.”
“It’s fine, the True Ancestor World over there, they are currently in negotiations with our Guardian Families, they wouldn’t dare to offend us now.”
“Go straight to the auction!”
Cen Mingyi possessed not an ordinary status; born from a great clan within the Guardian Families, he was privy to many secrets.
There was a change in the world; some of the Great Clans among Ban Explorers and Guardians tended towards cooperation.
Negotiations were still ongoing.
If successful, Ban Explorers and Guardians would collaborate.
Therefore, the current stance of Guardian Families towards Ban Explorers… was somewhat ambiguous.
He believed that before the negotiations collapsed, the Ban Explorers wouldn’t dare target them!
“Follow me to the Beilin capital city, to the World-Stabilizing Pavilion.”
Cen Mingyi commanded.
…
Today, the auction was to take place.
Groups arriving to participate had already begun entering the World-Stabilizing Pavilion.
The Pavilion backed by profound history and powerful forces, boasted majestic architecture, and its largest hall for ten thousand was exceedingly expansive.
Wu Dade and his party also made their way towards the World-Stabilizing Pavilion.
At the entrance, the crowd was endless, lining up was necessary.
Their appearance immediately stirred a burst of discussion.
“Isn’t that the ‘Village Fisherman’?”
“The Village Fisherman and Wu Xiaokun, it’s actually them!”
“Are they also here to attend this auction?”
After the last great battle, Long Zixuan and the others had become veritable celebrities.
Known by all, famous throughout.
At the back of the line, another young man in a brocaded robe suddenly raised an eyebrow, casting a glance toward Long Zixuan and company.
“Brother Cen, these people are the so-called martial wonders and the Village Fisherman. Their fame in the Beilin capital these past few days has been boiling over, not insubstantial.”
A young man beside the brocaded-robed Young Master spoke.
This brocaded-robed Young Master was none other than Cen Mingyi!
They had arrived as well and were queueing up to enter the World-Stabilizing Pavilion.
“Don’t worry.”
Cen Mingyi smiled.
…
Ahead, Long Zixuan and the others finally got their turn.
“Gentlemen… please pay a deposit of 500,000 low-level Chaos Origin Stones!”
The one in charge of registration, an old man, spoke to them.
Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan and the others were all stunned for a moment.
A deposit?
500,000?!
They were all somewhat… baffled.
In the Primordial Ancestral World, Chaos Origin Stones were the currency, essentially the money of this world.
But Long Zixuan and the others… had no money!
From this perspective, they were completely… broke.
“Um… Miss in the blue robe, do you have any?”
Qing Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Xuan Qingyi shook her head, saying,
“I only have about a hundred on me… nowhere near enough.”
Wu Xiaokun also said, “I only have a dozen or so.”
“Gentlemen, if you don’t have the money, then please leave and don’t hold up the other customers.”
The old man in charge of registration spoke coldly.
Long Zixuan said,
“We can’t go in without money? Is there no other way?”
The old man sneered,
“Sure, if you gentlemen have any treasures, you can turn left and head to the Appraisal Hall.”
“But gentlemen…”
The old man sneered as he sized up Long Zixuan and the others,
“Don’t waste your time.”
At a glance, they were just a few poor youths, penniless; where would they get any treasures?
“Come on, kick these people out, don’t let them waste more time here!”
The old man even gave the direct order.
Suddenly, several experts from the World-Stabilizing Pavilion came over with cold expressions.
“Damn, a lack of money can be the death of a hero, let’s go!”
Wu Dade cursed as they all had no choice but to temporarily leave the queue.
“Gentlemen, it’s very easy for you to get in,” a voice spoke up at this moment.
A young man in a brocade robe said with a slight smile,
“I have plenty of money. I’ll give each of you a million Origin Stones if you take this with you. How about it?”
He took out several collars.
Initially, he had wanted to take these people as his followers, but now it seemed these country bumpkins weren’t even qualified for that.
They could only be slaves!
After all, to become that young master’s follower, both talent and family background were indispensable.
“You #￥￥…”
Wu Dade saw what was happening and burst into profanities; fuck, this bastard was too insulting!
Actually wanting to put dog collars around their necks!
“Woof… Your Emperor has never suffered such an indignity!”
Big Black Dog was also furious, his dog eyes cold and dark.
“Ha, why the outrage, a million Origin Stones is something people as lowly as you couldn’t touch in a lifetime.”
“And besides, once you wear these collars, even though you’ll be slaves, you’ll live comfortably—wealth, luxurious clothing, and splendid food are at your fingertips!”
Cen Mingyi spoke up, indifferently saying,
“This is an honor for you!”
He felt these simpletons truly were uncivilized and ungrateful.
“Honor your @@#%@#…”
Wu Dade continued to swear furiously, saying,
“Don’t hold me back; today I’ve got to let him taste the repression of the Butt Emperor!”
He was ready to take action!
“Stop!”
At this moment, the experts from the World-Stabilizing Pavilion had already closed in, glaring coldly at Wu Dade and the others,
“This is the World-Stabilizing Pavilion, where such behavior is not tolerated!”
“Attacking a guest of our pavilion? Then you are making an enemy of the World-Stabilizing Pavilion!”
—Anyone attending the auction at the World-Stabilizing Pavilion was protected by the Pavilion.
Hearing this, Wu Dade was even more outraged.
Fuck, without money, one can only endure humiliation?
Wu Dade couldn’t take it anymore!
He couldn’t bear it!
He clenched his fists, his eyes reddening.
Then, suddenly turning around, he said,
“Dead Dog, let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere secluded!”
Big Black Dog was stunned for a moment; had his Human Pet become unhinged? Something felt off…
“Human Pet, what do you want to do with your Emperor? Calm down!”
He was somewhat scared!
…
