C903
At this moment, the auction hall was divided into six areas.
The leaders of these regions all represented super powers with unparalleled authority.
In the northern region, a white-robed old man's aura was vast and mighty, suppressing the entire region.
Although the old man had a head of white hair, he was still energetic and vigorous like a needle that could freeze the sea. No matter how much activity he created, his surroundings were calm and peaceful like a mirror.
"It is unexpected that Old Yuan from the Yuan clan is actually present. Looks like the Yuan clan will definitely obtain a ticket for this auction!"
"With these great powers here, how would we loose cultivators have the chance to obtain a ticket to go to a big country?!"
"You can't put it like that. The Heavenly Policy Empire has given us rogue cultivators a chance. After all, there are seven spots on the ship, but only five of the super powers have come."
"Five?!" "Besides the Yuan Family, which other families are there?!"
"The northern region is occupied by the Yuan Family. The southern region is the Confucius Family, the eastern one is the Zhuge Family, and the hopeful one is the Dugu Family. As for the central area, it is occupied by the Li Family!"
Chen Yu who was in the middle of the crowd also heard the discussions of the people around him, and he focused as he looked in a few directions.
The Southern Confucian representative was a middle-aged scholar.
This person held a book in his hand as he sat in the middle of the crowd. Although his figure wasn't obvious, he stood out like a crane amongst a flock of chickens.
Beside him stood a maid.
The maid had a picturesque appearance and her wrist was as white as snow. She held a small jug in her hand and poured wine into the cup next to the scholar.
The representative of the Zhuge family in the east was a teenager with a cold face.
There was no one within a hundred meters around him. It was extremely eye-catching in this crowded area.
Beside the youth was a dead body.
The person who died was pushed by someone just now and accidentally entered within a hundred meters of the young man from the Zhuge family.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was met with a fierce glare from the youth from Zhuge Clan.
In the end, under the gazes of everyone present, blood slowly flowed out from this person's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He had actually died on the spot.
Everyone knew that it must have been done by the youth from the Zhuge family. However, no one knew how the youth from the Zhuge family killed the person.
This made the surrounding crowd even more afraid of the Zhuge family's fame. In an instant, the empty space actually expanded by half a bit.
The people of the Dugu Family came from the west. Their appearances could not be seen clearly. His entire body was covered by the cloak.
However, although their appearances could not be seen clearly, the tyrannical aura that this person was emitting caused everyone to tremble with fear.
The person from the Central Li Clan was the strongest out of the five powers.
This person seemed to be born bold and domineering.
This kind of imposing aura unrestrainedly spread out without restraint. With the demeanor of a king, it suppressed the surroundings and made everyone submit.
On the ship, a tall expert nodded his head after seeing the representatives from the five great forces and said, "These five people do indeed have the qualifications to board my ship. When the auction comes later, we can give these five people some convenience."
"Master Hou's eyesight is sharp as a torch." A peak Martial Saint Realm cultivator next to him bowed and said, "Master Hou is able to pick out the five people with the greatest potential amongst the tens of thousands of people. As expected of someone that Your Majesty has set his eyes on …"
"Hahahaha, you don't have to flatter this empress. Choosing the most suitable talent for the empire is exactly what I should do!"
It turned out that the person standing on the bow of the ship overlooking the auction was the owner of this huge ship, and also the noble king of the Heavenly Policy Empire, Tie Kuang.2
This person had a tyrannical cultivation base. In the hundred years he had been on the battlefield, he had never lost a single battle. This was why the Heavenly Policy Empire valued him so highly.
Because of this, the matter of him passing through the coiling dragon sea of clouds and accepting a new talent had fallen onto Tie Kuang's body.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived at the auction house, Tie Kuang waved his hand slightly and said, "Alright, hurry up and end this auction. This empress no longer wants to waste time here!"
At this moment, the auction venue was in an uproar.
"Brother Qin, we meet again."
"Hahaha, Brother Yan, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"
"Brother, you also want to compete for a spot?"
"With our wealth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a spot in this auction …"
"Every time the auction starts, it'll be an eye-opener. I wonder what kind of treasure I'll be able to experience this time …"
As time passed, more and more experts entered the auction house.
In the hall, people were talking in groups of twos and threes.
Most of the people present were experts of the Martial Saint Realm.
This person might be incomparably powerful and monopolistic in his own territory. However, his strength was not as eye-catching here.
Those present all chose their own unique places, otherwise they would not have come here to seek an opportunity to enter the Heavenly Policy Empire.
Due to the limited reputation, those who were able to enter the Heavenly Policy Empire were all powerful and had the most wealth. Most of the people present did not have the chance to obtain a ticket.
However, the auction here was the only gathering place for all the Martial Saint Stage expert. Most of the Martial Saints would use this place as a place for communication or trade.
Many times, a problem that someone could not solve could be solved after communicating with others.
A certain heavenly resource that was very difficult to obtain might be able to be successfully traded here.
As a result, this auction had gathered countless Martial Saint Realm experts.
In the hall, everyone was talking nonstop. Some were exchanging information, while others were trading in private, obtaining what they wanted. Some were reminiscing about the old days and trying to befriend them. Others were full of hostility and the smell of gunpowder was very strong.
However, in the next moment, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
The reason was that the host of this auction had already arrived at the podium in front of the great hall.
His name was Han Wu, and he had already hosted over a hundred auctions.
His strength and background far exceeded everyone present. Thus, when Han Wu ascended the high platform, everyone couldn't help but stop their conversation.
Han Wu nodded slightly as she watched the audience quickly quieten down. She announced concisely, "Everyone, according to the rules of the past, the time has come for the auction to officially begin!"
"However, the auction rules have changed a little. The auction that was originally scheduled to be completed within seven days will be completed in one go today!"
The moment Han Wu's voice fell, the entire venue was in an uproar!
After all, according to the usual pattern, the auction would last for seven days, so many people did not arrive on the first day.
However, if all the tickets were to be auctioned today, then the people who came late would have to pay a huge price!
