Whoever spoke about Chen Weijian couldnât help but feel a little more solemn.
When Huang Xiaolong saw the serious look on Gao Changranâs face, he couldnât help but laugh. He replied casually. âI already know.â
Seeing the smile on Huang Xiaolongâs face, Gao Changran snapped back to reality. He knew that he was too quick to judge Chen Weijian, and he had forgotten Huang Xiaolongâs true identity.
Who cared if Chen Weijian was the number one genius in the Devil World? He was nothing but dust when compared to Huang Xiaolong.
The two of them werenât even standing at the same height, to begin with.
âLord, I failed to compose myselfâŚâ Gao Changran lowered his head and apologized to Huang Xiaolong.
âItâs fine.â Huang Xiaolong waved his arm and dismissed Gao Changranâs concerns.
When Huang Xiaolong was chatting with Gao Changran, Chen Weijian looked at all the ancestors in the same room as him. They all had their mouths open in shock. He nodded his head contentedly.
âIt seems like I was right. That brat has brought only two hundred million low-grade chaos spirit stones with him.â Elder Long was the first to recover, and he chuckled in amusement.
When Chen Weijian yelled out his bid, Huang Xiaolong followed everyone else as he remained silent.
In the eyes of the Hundred Transformation Sectâs Ancestors, Huang Xiaolongâs pockets had run dry.
âEven the members of the Heavenly Punishment Sect canât take out more than two hundred million⌠I donât even think this brat has more than a hundred million on him right now. His last bid was probably his bottom line!â Another one of the ancestors sneered as he looked at Huang Xiaolong. âThis time, our Hundred Transformation Sect will definitely obtain the Devil Holy Water!â
âWith these hundred drops of Devil Holy Water, our old ancestor will definitely be able to enter the Sovereign Realm in the next hundred years!â
The sixteenth suiteâs ancestors laughed and joked as though they had already obtained the Devil Holy Water.
This time, even though they knew that the Heavenly Punishment Sect had managed to move two hundred million low-grade chaos spirit stones, they werenât idling around. They had sold a ton of treasures beforehand, and they had absolute confidence to suppress the Heavenly Punishment Sect in terms of wealth.
As such, they were more than sure that the bottle of Devil Holy Water had already fallen into their hands.
âOne hundred and forty million.â Huang Xiaolongâs voice broke their fantasy.
One hundred and forty million!
âWHAT?!â
The ancestors who were laughing and mocking Huang Xiaolong felt their faces freezing in place. Even Chen Weijianâs body stiffened.
In suite One, a look of terror flashed through Xing Yinuoâs eyes.
Even the Archdevil Ancestors present couldnât help but display a shocked expression when they heard his bid.
How in the world does that brat have so many low-grade chaos spirit stones?!
âThis⌠How is this possible?!â Elder Long of the Hundred Transformation Sect regained his senses and yelled in shock.
Doesnât this mean that the black-haired man has more spirit stones than the Heavenly Punishment Sect?!
Chen Weijian also managed to regain his senses, and he felt as though someone had slapped him viciously in front of the crowd.
âOne hundred and fifty million!â Chen Weijian wasnât willing to back down.
That was one hundred and fifty million low-grade chaos spirit stones they were talking about!
Everyone felt their jaws dropping to the ground.
When Huang Xiaolong heard Chen Weijianâs cold voice that was full of provocation, he chuckled. âOne hundred and sixty million.â
Huang Xiaolong would be able to refine low-grade chaos spirit stones after breaking through Emperor Realm. When that happened, the thing Huang Xiaolong wouldnât lack would be low-grade chaos spirit stones.
âOne hundred and seventy million!â Another voice broke the battle between the two.
The sweet voice that entered their ears could only belong to one person, Xing Yinuo.
âOne hundred and seventy-one million!â The Stone Ape Archdevil Ancestorâs voice boomed through the hall, and no one could miss the rage, and tyrannical might hidden behind his bid.
It was clear that the Stone Ape Archdevil Ancestor had reached his limit.
âOne hundred and eighty million.â Chen Weijian raised the bid again.
The moment the words left his lips, a cold harrumph erupted from the Stone Ape Archdevil Ancestorâs suite, and it was like a bomb that went off in the hall.
Everyone jumped in shock.
âTwo hundred and ten million.â Huang Xiaolong calmly raised the price again.
According to what Gao Changran gathered, the Heavenly Punishment Sect had brought about two hundred million low-grade chaos spirit stones. The Hundred Transformation Sect had brought a little more, but it was negligible. Huang Xiaolong didnât have the patience to play with them anymore, and he instantly increased the bid to a level none of them could reach.
The sound of someone falling reverberated through the hall.
âWHAT?!â Chen Weijian shot to his feet, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
All the ancestors of the Hundred Transformation Sect leaped up in fright.
The reaction of Xing Yinuo and the other ancestors from the Heavenly Punishment Sect wasnât too different.
The two Archdevil Ancestors present revealed a terrifying light in their eyes.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong instantly became the center of attention, and the experts seated next to him retreated in fear.
Xing Yinuo lost her voice, and so did all the ancestors around her.
The old ancestor of the Absolute Devil Gate was dumbfounded, and the sect master of the Black Killer Sect nearly lost his mind.
âWhy is someone not verifying whether or not he has the funds to pay?!â One of the ancestors from the Heavenly Punishment Sect screamed.
However, no one seemed to have heard him, and none of them reacted.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl.
Chen Weijian exhaled a long breath, and he gritted his teeth to yell out his final bid. âTwo hundred and twelve million!â
That was the absolute limit of what he could afford.
Of course, that was all the movable funds the Hundred Transformation Sect could take out.
âTwo hundred and thirteen million.â Huang Xiaolong didnât hesitate at all as he called out the winning bid.
Chen Weijian clenched his fist in rage, and a monstrous killing intent welled up in his eyes. However, his body seemed to have lost all strength as he fell back into his chair in the next moment.
In the end, Huang Xiaolong purchased the Devil Holy Water with two hundred and thirteen million low-grade chaos spirit stones.
When they saw Huang Xiaolong handing over the payment, mountains and mountains of chaos spirit stones piled on each other, and the sound of saliva being swallowed could be heard throughout the hall.
After receiving the spirit stones, the auction manager handed the bottle of Devil Holy Water over to Huang Xiaolong personally.
After ensuring that there were no problems, Huang Xiaolong kept the bottle.
âLetâs go.â Huang Xiaolong causally got up from his seat and brought his group out of the hall. No one other than him moved, and all of them watched as he disappeared into the distance.
When they saw Huang Xiaolongâs figure disappearing, the same thought flashed through everyoneâs mind.
âYoung master, do weâŚâ Elder Long of the Hundred Transformation Sect asked, and he drew a line across his neck.
Even though they were here for the two Devil Steles and didnât wish to clash with other superpowers before achieving their goal, the bottle of Devil Holy Water held the same level of importance as the two Devil Steles. If they could kill Huang Xiaolong and snatch the Devil Holy Water, it would be a worthy sacrifice no matter how many men died in the process.
âLetâs return before making a decision.â Chen Weijian got to his feet, and he thought about his next course of action. âThe Heavenly Punishment Archdevil Ancestor should be arriving in Eternal Devil City tomorrow. I will personally greet him.â
âYes, young master!â
Elder Long immediately saw through the meaning behind his words.
Even before Huang Xiaolong arrived back at his courtyard, the news of him spending two hundred and thirteen million on the bottle of Devil Holy Water spread across the Eternal Devil City like wildfire.
