C691 Auction
The news of Nangong Family being flattened spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys on the second day.
In fact, from the time Nie Zhen had clashed with Nangong Jiao in the tavern to the time Nie Zhen's group charged into the Nangong Family palace and slaughtered everyone around, the entire process happened extremely quickly. Many people heard the sounds of the battle, and Nie Zhen and the others had already ended the battle.
Whether it was the commoners or the nobles, everyone was discussing who annihilated the Nangong Family Clan. Although the Nangong Family Clan could not be considered to be a particularly strong power, it was still a family with a name, yet they were actually annihilated overnight. This could very likely be an attitude or signal from another force.
The person who was the most shocked among them was Yin Xue of the Yin family. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that the youth in the inn would actually completely annihilate the arrogant Nangong Family race.
Not long after, word spread out that the people who exterminated Nangong Family Clan were actually a small team of three or four people, and the one leading them was called Nie Zhen.
After that, Nangong Jiao provoked her family in the inn, and then, the Nangong Family Clan experts were continuously sent out, and were ultimately completely exterminated.
They were the only people within the Feiyao City who truly saw Nie Zhen and the others. After they escaped from the inn, they also stayed around to watch, and they basically saw other battles other than those of the Nangong Family Clan.
Some of the forces around the same level as the Nangong Family were relieved. As it turned out, it was not some large power that was preparing to reshuffle the noble forces within the Feiyao City, but this was purely a personal grudge.
Subsequently, everyone became curious about Nie Zhen's identity. Who exactly was this Nie Zhen, he actually had such strength, with just a few people, he was able to eliminate the Nangong Family race.
Many people preferred Nie Zhen to come from the Nie Clan, and he was definitely a low profile direct disciple from the Nie Family Headquarters.
In the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, besides Nie Clan, there weren't any particularly strong people with the surname Nie. Furthermore, according to the legends, Nie Zhen had three experts beside him, each of them had extraordinary strength. Such a force could only be brought out with Nie Clan.
Of course, there were also other ways of saying that Nie Zhen was actually a force that was at odds with Nie Family, that used the name of Nie Family to kill someone, so that others would think that it was Nie Clan who had done the deed.
As for Nie Zhen and the others, they found an inn to settle down, ignoring all the gossip and gossip outside.
After around ten more days of time, the news of Nangong Family Clan's extermination gradually calmed down, because the Feiyao City had attracted another major event, which was the annual auction.
Because the scale of Feiyao City was one of the biggest cities even within the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, some of the nearby forces would also send people to participate in the Auction organization.
And this Auction was hosted by the Feiyao City, and the owner of the Feiyao City was a strong person from the Myriad Sword Sect. Because the scale of the Feiyao City was very large, and it was also in a critical position, so the master who was under the direct control of the Myriad Sword Sect and managed the Feiyao City was actually a direct descendant of the Myriad Sword Sect.
Nie Zhen had already investigated the location of the Auction a long time ago. Waiting until the morning of the day the Auction was held, Nie Zhen and the three Divine Beast finally set out for the Auction together.
The Auction was held in the hall which was near the center of the Feiyao City and was divided into an inner and outer part. The outer part of the hall was open to the outside world and was open to the public to conduct daily transactions, but the inner area was the main hall, which was also the place where the Auction would officially be held.
Nie Zhen and the others' goal was very clear. When they arrived at the Auction location, they directly walked towards the main hall. As for the shops on the outside, Nie Zhen and the others just walked around for a while and everything was over.
Arriving at the main hall's entrance, Nie Zhen saw a Chu Yi old man seated at the door, behind him were a few Auction staff members, who were responsible for collecting admission fees from the people who were preparing to enter the Auction.
Nie Zhen's first reaction after seeing the old man was that the old man's aura was very sharp, like a real sword.
Although he wasn't sure of this old man's true cultivation level, Nie Zhen's intuition told him that this old man's strength was not to be underestimated. He was at least comparable to an expert in the middle or late stages of Origin Stage.
"If you want to enter the Auction, each person has to pay one hundred initial grade spirit stones." Seeing Nie Zhen and co. getting closer, one of the staff walked in front of them and said.
Nie Zhen gave him four Medial Grade Spirit Stones and then asked, "Also, I have something that I need you guys to be responsible for auctioning."
The staff looked at Nie Zhen and asked casually, "What are you going to auction? Anything not of a certain standard is not eligible for auction, do you know that? "
That staff member noticed that Nie Zhen and the others were dressed in ordinary clothes, or he could be considered to be in rather poor condition. He probably wouldn't have been able to take out anything particularly good, and if it wasn't for the fact that Nie Zhen had four Medial Grade Spirit Stones, he probably would have scolded him directly.
Nie Zhen nodded casually and said, "Who will inspect the items being auctioned?"
Although the old man sitting on the ground heard the conversation between Nie Zhen and the others, he didn't show the slightest interest. Even he felt that Nie Zhen and his group wouldn't be able to take out anything good.
That staff member frowned, but the other party had already paid the entrance fee, so he could not easily back down. He said indifferently, "Take it out for me to take a look. If you're done, I'll bring you to see our manager."
"Sure." Nie Zhen immediately took out a pair of thorns from his Storage Ring and said to the staff member, "Is this totem qualified?"
When Nie Zhen took out the totem, the old man who looked like he was in closed-door training suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes revealed a hint of disbelief, and that staff member even continuously took a few steps back.2
The gazes of the surrounding people were all gathered on Nie Zhen. There were even a few expressions of greed.
Finally, the old man dressed in Chu was the first to mutter. "A third stage Origin Stage spirit artifact …"
No one would have thought that this ordinary young man in front of them, would actually want to auction a third stage Origin Stage spirit artifact!
It had to be known that even in a place like the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, Origin Stage Spirit Treasures were not easily found. Generally, Spirit Treasures of the Origin Stage were monopolized by the Royal Stage experts, and like this, there were quite a few Royal Stage Warriors who did not have any Origin Stage Spirit Treasures.
If it was a person with a weak cultivation holding a Origin Stage Totem, he would probably be coveted by countless people.
