"VIP No.1 bids 30 million for the second time."

In the VIP No.1 room, Huo Zhenxiong, with an air of absolute certainty, said:

"Go and get that sword for me now."

The pale-faced man beside Huo Zhenxiong, without a word, prepared to leave.

At this moment, Zong Renhai continued shouting loudly:

"VIP No.1 bids 30 million..."

At the same time, a sudden voice caused an uproar at the scene:

"I bid 31 million."

"Bang!"

Huo Zhenxiong suddenly slammed the table in anger, blurting out uncontrollably:

"Who!!!"

At this moment, no one could have expected that at the last minute, a 'troublemaker' would emerge, catching everyone off guard.

Seeing that the item was about to be secured, only to be snatched away, Huo Zhenxiong's anger surged, and a murderous aura instinctively seeped from him.

The man who was about to leave also stopped at the door:

"The man in VIP room 11."

"It's him!"

Huo Zhenxiong turned furiously towards the direction of Lin Yi, muttering to himself:

"Does this kid really think there's no one in Celestial Feather City?"

Even Ling Yuwei's face was filled with astonishment, taking a while to recover.

This voice...

"It's him!"

Ling Yuwei immediately turned her head towards Lin Yi's room, incredulously saying:

"How many more surprises are you going to bring me?"

In Celestial Feather City, the Seventh Transformation Emperor Level Huo Zhenxiong was practically a dominating figure.

Ling Yuwei couldn't figure out:

What could this person possibly use to challenge him? Courage?

...

At this moment, the auction house was boiling over because of Lin Yi's single sentence.

People seated below were whispering and discussing animatedly.

Almost everyone was speculating about where this Tier Four Grandmaster Swordsman boy got his confidence from.

First, he offended the Xiao Family without hesitation.

Now, even braver.

He dared to snatch from the strongest man in Celestial Feather City, Huo Zhenxiong.

Someone outright speculated:

"This kid is either the Pope's illegitimate son or a prince of our Jialan Empire."

"Otherwise, he's definitely doomed."

The President of the Swordsman Guild, Chu Heng, laughed heartily at the inappropriate moment:

"Wow kid, you're quite bold."

"How dare you touch what our Celestial Feather City's City Lord has his eyes on, I really don't know if you're oblivious or just dumb."

Seeing Huo Zhenxiong suffer a setback, Chu Heng felt unprecedentedly delighted, like drinking a refreshing beverage on a sweltering day:

"Kid."

"I admire you."

"After the auction ends, I wonder if you'd be interested in coming to the Swordsman Guild for a chat?"

It's evident from his words.

Chu Heng was obviously trying to protect Lin Yi, preventing both the City Lord or the Xiao Family from causing trouble for him.

After all, as the President of the Celestial Feather City Swordsman Guild,

Neither the City Lord's Mansion nor the Xiao Family, no matter how displeased, would dare to bother him at the Swordsman Guild.

Faced with Chu Heng's invitation, Lin Yi remained unfazed:

"Thank you for your kindness."

"However, I believe I can handle the current situation by myself."

A mere City Lord of the Seventh Transformation (Lv70-Lv79), Lin Yi didn't take him seriously.

Perhaps he couldn't win in a fight, but if Lin Yi wanted to escape,

The other side wouldn't be able to stop him either.

But only Lin Yi knew this, others didn't.

His words left the whole audience astounded.

"He actually refused President Chu Heng?"

"What background does this kid have to be so arrogant?"

In the booth, Chu Heng was surprisingly stunned:

"He turned me down? Did I hear wrong."

"Does this kid know what he's saying?"

But now Lin Yi ignored everyone's shock and instead spoke towards Zong Renhai on stage:

"Is the auction going to continue?"

Zong Renhai finally snapped back from the unexpected turn of events and instinctively shouted: 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Oh oh oh... VIP No.11 bids 31 million, is there any higher bid?"

In VIP room No.1, Huo Zhenxiong, with a livid expression, shouted:

"32 million."

And added as a reminder:

"This is Celestial Feather City, kid, you'd better think it over before speaking again."

Lin Yi unhesitatingly retorted:

"I remember the City Lord said it was fair competition earlier, did you forget so soon?"

Huo Zhenxiong was taken aback, then erupted in anger:

"You!"

Only Xiao Mo from the Xiao Family could probably truly understand Huo Zhenxiong's emotions right now.

Ling Yuwei spoke almost as soon as Huo Zhenxiong's words fell:

"City Lord Huo, do you think our Linlang Auction House is easy to bully?"

Ling Yuwei picked up a cup beside her and smashed it onto the ground:

"Bang!"

Ling Yuwei said sharply:

"From now on."

"Anyone who threatens at our Linlang Auction House, in any form, get out of Linlang."

Huo Zhenxiong's expression turned stern, but at this point, a tall and thin man beside him suddenly spoke:

"Just focus on getting that sword."

Sure enough, Lin Yi's voice came from the booth the next moment:

"35 million."

Inside VIP room No.11, when Lin Yi took out 32 million gold coins from his backpack, it directly transformed into a small storage pouch in his hand.

All the gold coins were stored in the storage pouch.

At the same time, Lin Yi also took out a bottle of [Advanced Life Potion] from his backpack and placed it on the table, preparing to use it as a bargaining chip for settlement later.

Lin Yi knew that when something becomes abundant, it's no longer valuable.

But seeing how they reacted to the [Advanced Life Potion] before, Lin Yi knew they wouldn't mind having more of it.

Huo Zhenxiong roared angrily:

"40 million."

Zong Renhai's eyes lit up, and the tense nerves finally relaxed, excitedly saying:

"VIP No.1 bids 40 million, any higher offers?"

Lin Yi continued to take out five bottles of [Advanced Life Potion] from his backpack, placing them on the table, and directly said:

"50 million!"

"Wow~"

"A direct increase by a million, damn."

"Does this kid really have that much money?"

"He's digging his own grave by pressuring the City Lord's price like that."

Zong Renhai shouted with excitement:

"VIP No.11 bids 50 million, is there any higher offer!"

Then, as if afraid Lin Yi would back out, he immediately proclaimed without hesitation:

"50 million for the first time"

In VIP room No.1, Huo Zhenxiong slammed the table beside him into pieces in fury, with a grim expression:

"Good!"

"50 million for the second time."

At this time, the man beside Huo Zhenxiong whispered in his ear:

"Are you giving up?"

"Give up?"

Huo Zhenxiong sat back in his chair with an indifferent look:

"No rush."

"If someone is willing to help us buy it, why not."

"Just let him hold on to it for now."

After speaking, a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.

"50 million for the third time, sold!"

Zong Renhai exclaimed in joy:

"Congratulations to our VIP No.11 for winning this Sacred Artifact."

Lin Yi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief:

"Glad I got it."

Perhaps some people wondered why Lin Yi was willing to risk offending the City Lord just to buy such a dangerous weapon.

In fact, Lin Yi initially didn't plan to bid for this weapon at all.

The weapon's damage was indeed high, and its attributes excellent.

But it was the last attribute, [Summon Demon], that truly shocked Lin Yi.

Do you know what came to Lin Yi's mind the first time he saw this attribute?

Lin Yi's first thought was the He Clan's Yamada Miki, possessed by the necromancer Samson.

Though Lin Yi didn't know what eventually happened to Yamada Miki himself,

the thought of having a perverted soul like Samson appear in his body was simply unacceptable to Lin Yi.

Thus, Lin Yi was actually very opposed to this weapon.

The reason Lin Yi ultimately decided to bid on it was because...

Lin Yi turned to look at the soul of Katrina beside him, with a face full of doubt:

"You're sure this thing can help you reshape your true form?"
