Monarch Of Time

Chapter 788 - 788 Fighting Over The Earth Flame (2)

ʼʼHaha, master, this situation has become quite interesting.ʼʼ Little Black said with a look of amusement in his deep blue eyes as he also stared at the silhouette of Murong Tian from the foggy space inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

Nodding his head, Shun Long observed Murong Tian seriously without saying a word.

Indeed, this was something extremely unexpected.

At the same time, although the experts inside the other private rooms were slightly surprised when they found out that the patriarch of the Murong family had come to bid for the earth flame as well, they merely threw a few more glances at him before they continued to call out their bids.

After all, even though Murong Tian may have been famous within Murong city, in the eyes of those experts who came from the strongest powers of the northern part of the central region he was only a slightly stronger Dao Emperor. Only experts at the Sovereign realm or higher were enough to warrant Zi Huʼs and the othersʼ attention.

ʼʼ850.000 high-grade spirit stones!ʼʼ

ʼʼ900.000!ʼʼ

ʼʼ1.000.000 high-grade spirit stones.ʼʼ

In less than a minute, the price of the earth flame had already gone past the 1 million high-grade spirit stones mark, and yet there were still no signs of it slowing down.

ʼʼ1 million 200 thousand high-grade spirit stones!ʼʼ An old man in luxurious yellow robes suddenly called out from the ordinary seats down below, immediately attracting everyoneʼs attention.

Even experts like Zhuan Jie and the silver-haired woman from ʼWhite ice cityʼ had turned their attention towards this person, staring at him with some surprise in their eyes.

After all, the people who could afford to call a bid of a million high-grade spirit stones were almost all, renowned Sovereign realm experts.

As for this old man, they could clearly sense that he was just an early rank 9 Dao Emperor, the same level as Jiang Tianfang.

ʼʼWho is this person? He actually dares to bid for the earth flame against the Sovereign realm seniors? Isnʼt he afraid that he wonʼt be able to keep the earth flame even if he wins the bid?ʼʼ

ʼʼWait! I have seen this person before! He is the current clan head of the Xi clan!ʼʼ A person in the audience seats quickly recognized the yellow-robed old man, as he exclaimed in a loud voice a moment later.

ʼʼThe Xi clan? What kind of clan is that?ʼʼ

ʼʼThey are a powerful clan that is no weaker than the Murong family! I have heard that the previous clan leader of the Xi clan and the old ancestor of the Murong family have been rivals for many years. No wonder the current clan head of the Xi clan would come here to fight for the earth flame!ʼʼ Another person answered seriously a moment later, as his eyes stared at the clan leader of the Xi clan who was sitting just a few meters away from him.

ʼʼ1 million 400 hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!ʼʼ The Sovereign realm expert from Lord Zhuʼs garden, ʼsenior Xiaoʼ snorted before he said in a cold voice, increasing the price of the earth flame even further.

At the same time however, the beautiful silver-haired woman from the ʼWhite ice cityʼ didnʼt choose to remain silent either, as she called out a moment later

ʼʼ1 million 500 thousand!ʼʼ

In just a few moments, the price of the earth flame had reached a staggering 2 million high-grade spirit stones, and it was only then that it finally started to slow down.

At that moment, Jia Guiying took a deep breath and smiled brightly as she looked at the silhouettes of the Sovereign realm experts inside the private rooms, before she said in a clear voice

ʼʼEsteemed guests, I suggest that you donʼt miss the chance to obtain this earth flame. Even our ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ doesnʼt get the chance to auction an earth flame very often. Who knows when you will get another chance if you miss this one?ʼʼ

It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but Jia Guiyingʼs gaze ended up landing on the Sovereign realm expert from the ʼBlack mist valleyʼ as she said the last sentence.

And yet, Zhuan Jie merely snorted but he didnʼt choose to bid for the earth flame even after Jia Guiyingʼs attempt to entice him.

After all, the moment that he managed to get his hands on the earth flame, Zhuan Jie knew that Zi Hu would use his ʼSoul-locking talismanʼ to deal with him.

Although an earth flame was valuable, he wasnʼt going to risk his life for it.

Of course, if there was a chance to get revenge on Zi Hu in the future, there was no way that Zhuan Jie would let it go!

...

10 minutes later, the bids finally stopped, as the experts present all stared at a certain private room with mixed emotions.

Inside his own private room, Murong Tian laughed without restraint as he looked at the purple-colored earth flame on the main stage with a fervent look in his eyes.

After spending 3.4 million high-grade spirit stones, he had finally forced everyone else to concede.

ʼʼTsk, I didnʼt think that even with more than 3 million high-grade spirit stones I wouldnʼt be able to secure a single earth flame.ʼʼ ʼSenior Xiaoʼ clicked his tongue and said in a dissatisfied tone as he stared at Murong Tian.

Clearly, it wasnʼt that Murong Tian was richer than ʼsenior Xiaoʼ, but that ʼsenior Xiaoʼ himself wasnʼt prepared for Murong Tianʼs involvement.

Naturally, as the patriarch of the Murong family, Murong Tian could take out a much larger amount of spirit stones than ʼsenior Xiaoʼ could, which was why even though ʼsenior Xiaoʼ had prepared more than 3 million high-grade spirit stones for the earth flame, it still wasnʼt enough.

At the same time, inside the private room right next to Shun Longʼs, one of the 3 white-robed women asked the silver-haired woman who was sitting on the couch

ʼʼMaster, you really donʼt want to continue bidding? Even the Murong family wouldnʼt be able to compete with you in terms of wealth, unless their old ancestor personally comes out of his seclusion!ʼʼ

The beautiful silver-haired woman from the ʼWhite ice cityʼ looked at the purple-colored earth flame on the main stage and shook her head, before she answered in a calm tone

ʼʼIf it was an earth flame with the element of ice I would definitely go all-out to obtain it, but an earth flame with the element of fire isnʼt worth me spending more than 3 million high-grade spirit stones for it. Since the patriarch of the Murong family wants it, I will let him have it. Instead, there is something else that I donʼt understand...ʼʼ

As she finished speaking, the beautiful silver-haired woman turned her gaze towards the room that was right next to hers with a perplexed look on her face.

She had been certain that the person in the room next to hers had come here for the earth flame as well, but from the moment that the auction of the earth flame begun until it ended, that person didnʼt even call out a single bid for it.

Meanwhile, inside his private room, after he stared at Murong Tian with a deep look in his eyes, Shun Long turned his attention towards Jiang Tianfang who was sitting right next to him and said calmly

ʼʼUncle Jiang, letʼs part ways for now.. If you have time, you should go visit Jiang Chen and the others in the Northern Sovereignʼs estate.ʼʼ
