Chapter 1039 - 1062: Xuanyuan Changtian’s Wrath
Chu Linfeng gloomily stared at the numbers displayed on the screen, unable to understand why the Xuanyuan Emperor Palace valued the Platinum Crystal so highly. Was it Yueyan’s doing? Did she think he needed the Platinum Crystal to enhance the power of Gold Transformation and was bidding for him?
Though doubtful, he couldn’t be sure, as the other party was unaware he was in the Number 16 VIP room. If the bidding was for some other purpose or if it was Xuanyuan Changtian who wanted it, things could become troublesome.
At that moment, Xuanyuan Yueyan angrily shouted, "Father, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You just don’t want him to obtain the Platinum Crystal to enhance his strength?"
"Exactly, I intend to hit him hard, let him face obstacles. How could my daughter be fond of someone without status or position? I will stop at nothing to quash your thoughts." Xuanyuan Changtian retorted.
"You will regret this, you definitely will regret this." Xuanyuan Yueyan said chokingly, tears couldn’t be held back, they fell like pearls, causing the beautiful lady beside her to feel a pang of sorrow.
"Young master, the other party suddenly added so much, it seems they’re intent on opposing you. What should we do?" Lian’er, uncertain, asked Chu Linfeng.
"Although it’s unwise to let the New Capital City’s auction house have Immortal Stones for free, the Platinum Crystal is a must-get for me, and I won’t care about these few Immortal Stones. Directly add another hundred million, let them see my determination. If it’s Yueyan, she should understand my intent." Chu Linfeng replied.
Thus, Lian’er directly added another hundred million, now reaching two billion five hundred million. This was fifty million more Immortal Stones than the first Glzewater Crystal, causing the auction hall to erupt in excitement.
"The owner of the Number 16 VIP room sure has wealth, to directly add one hundred million Immortal Stones. These are Immortal Stones, not Crystal Coins nor Purple Gold Coins. Who is this person daring openly oppose Xuanyuan Emperor Palace?"
"Surely, this person’s identity isn’t simple. I suspect it’s someone from another Emperor Palace quietly reaching the second-tier VIP room intending to do this. Typical clans or City Lords wouldn’t dare such boldness; it’s indeed courting death."
"Let’s watch, the true excitement is yet to come. The auction has gained much fun due to Number 16’s presence."
Discussion ensued, as other VIP room members became increasingly curious about the Number 16’s owner. Fairy Lingxiao and the Domain Lord of Emperor Wu Spirit Realm were also surprised, wondering where this lad got so many Immortal Stones. He was after all, a newcomer who ascended to the Immortal Realm merely five years ago.
Seeing Number 16 directly add one hundred million, Xuanyuan Changtian’s expression grew even worse, "This is the good man you spoke of? Knowing full well that Number 4 VIP room is my Xuanyuan Emperor Palace, yet he still directly adds one hundred million, intending to shame me?"
"It’s for your own good, letting you retreat wisely, yet you don’t appreciate it; handle it as you wish. The Immortal Realm has more than one Platinum Crystal anyway, even if he can’t obtain it, it doesn’t matter. I don’t believe he can’t break through." Xuanyuan Yueyan remarked.
"I’ll see how many Immortal Stones he has. For a newly ascended Immortal having so many Immortal Stones surely surprises people. Today, I will thoroughly suppress his atmosphere."
Xuanyuan Changtian, agitated, reasoned if the young man truly liked Yueyan, he should understand discretion; such indiscreetness wouldn’t make him an appropriate son-in-law or allowed to become one.
"Add one hundred million more, I want to see how many Immortal Stones he has." Xuanyuan Changtian instructed the young girl in the VIP room.
Instantly, the number became three billion five hundred million; three hundred and fifty Top-Grade Immortal Stones, a striking figure. Xuanyuan Changtian brought over a thousand Top-Grade Immortal Stones for the main item at auction, and pulling from Upper Grade Immortal Stones made this possible.
Now that three hundred and fifty were used up, he’s slightly distressed, meant for the final showpiece but encountering Chu Linfeng—a heedless lad—and enraged him.
"What’s gotten Xuanyuan Changtian opposing Lin Feng, it’s amusing." Fairy Lingxiao remarked upon seeing the number on the screen.
"Perhaps because Chu Linfeng was too arrogant, they’re deliberately subduing him. Yet, the subordinate believes Lin Feng truly angered people this time, surely facing mortal danger; how do we handle this?" The woman beside Fairy Lingxiao queried.
"No rush; if Lin Feng genuinely faces danger, we naturally help him. Certainly, Emperor Wu Spirit Realm’s people will aid him as well, watch how he chooses. If not friends, then enemies; towards enemies, I show no mercy." Fairy Lingxiao said.
In the Number 1 VIP room, similar discussions unfolded, "Domain Lord, Lin Feng finds it hard not to come to Emperor Wu Spirit Realm even if desired. This time he’s made widespread enemies; do you think it’s wise? Will you personally intervene or let the subordinates?" the elder in black asked.
"If truly someone confronts him, I, the Domain Lord, will personally act, letting everyone know my regard for him. Yet, the matter isn’t as simple as you think, don’t forget Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain’s presence here; they also vow to obtain Chu Linfeng." The Domain Lord stated.
Chu Linfeng grew increasingly agonized, realizing this wasn’t Xuanyuan Yueyan’s action; he knew somewhat of Yueyan and Shangguan Luoyang’s situation. She may have told Xuanyuan Changtian about him, thus his non-approval resulting in such reaction.
Yet, Chu Linfeng rightly guessed this time, "Lian’er, I don’t wish to further entangle with these Xuanyuan Emperor Palace people. Directly add five hundred million, at eight billion five hundred million Immortal Stones get the Platinum Crystal. I believe the other party won’t further bid, if stubborn, I’ll let them fail; I can forgo the Platinum Crystal."
Madness, sheer madness—the auction had never seen such reckless bidding, perhaps only Chu Linfeng disregarded Immortal Stones as Immortal Stones. He dared such extravagance; his Immortal Spirit Qi seemingly inexhaustible.
Immediately, Lian’er added five hundred million Immortal Stones, when the number eight billion five hundred million appeared on the massive screen, everyone wondered if they were seeing things; such terrifying figures appeared.
The elder on the auction stage was equally astonished at the number, exclaiming fearfully like a pig slaughter, "Eight billion five hundred million, the owner of Number 16 VIP room bids eight billion five hundred million. Is anyone prepared to exceed eight billion five hundred million Immortal Stones?"
The sound echoed in everyone’s ears, a terrifying number, an unforgettable one. To Xuanyuan Changtian, hearing this number was like countless blades thrusting into his chest, causing unbearable agony.
Instantly, he roared with rage, "Brat, opposing my Xuanyuan Emperor Palace, I will make you die miserably!"
