Chapter 194 Ghost Gate Elder
Yan Xia's voice was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake. As soon as it landed, the whole scene fell into deathly silence.
However, this silence only lasted for a moment, and then, as if a powder keg had been ignited, the scene instantly became extremely lively.
People were whispering and talking among themselves, their eyes fixed on the realm-breaking pill on the stage that was emitting a mysterious light.
Seeing this, Yan Xia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, nodded gently, and then slowly said with her rosy red lips: "Everyone, the realm-breaking pill, the reserve price is 1 million, and the auction begins now!"
As soon as she said this, the originally noisy scene became quiet again. Everyone held their breath and looked at the realm-breaking pill with burning eyes, but no one dared to be the first to call out the price.
Seeing this, Yan Xia was not anxious. She stood there calmly with a face as calm as water, quietly waiting for someone to break the silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when everyone was in a stalemate, suddenly, a rough voice exploded like thunder.
"Since none of you bid, this realm-breaking pill is mine!"
Following the voice, I saw a white-haired, burly old man flying out from the back of the crowd and pouncing on the auction table like a ferocious cheetah. Looking at his posture, it seemed as if he was determined to grab the realm-breaking pill at all costs.
Seeing this sudden change, Yan Xia's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But soon, she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression quickly returned to calm, still quietly watching the old man who rushed to the auction table.
It happened in the blink of an eye. Just as the old man's hand was about to touch the realm-breaking pill, a loud "bang" was heard.
In an instant, an extremely powerful force suddenly descended upon the old man, and the normal gravity suddenly increased several times.
Under such terrifying pressure, the old man had no time to react at all, and fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
With a dull crash, the old man fell heavily on the hard ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, splashing on the ground in front of him, forming a shocking picture.
At this moment, a shocking scene took place. A mysterious invisible force, as if coming from the depths of the abyss, suddenly emerged, like a pair of invisible hands, easily lifting the old man who was lying on the ground like a dead dog into the air.
At this time, on the other side of the venue, the beautiful and elegant auctioneer Yan Xia was standing respectfully facing a certain direction, with a focused and solemn expression, as if she was listening to some important information.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a moment, Yan Xia finally turned around and faced the many guests below the stage.
She still had that perfect professional smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of awe that was hard to conceal.
After clearing his throat, Yan Xia said to everyone in a clear and pleasant yet solemn voice: "Dear guests, I wonder if anyone here recognizes this person?"
As soon as Yan Xia finished speaking, the people who were still immersed in the thrilling scene came back to their senses.
For a moment, the entire auction site was silent, and everyone looked at each other, trying to find some clues from each other's expressions.
However, after the silence lasted for just a few seconds, suddenly, a slightly steady voice broke the tranquility.
This voice came from a private room on the second floor, and the person who spoke was Liang Ping.
He was heard shouting, "This old man looks like the chief elder of the assassin organization Ghost Gate!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
You know, Guimen is a well-known killer organization in the world, and all of its members are ruthless. Moreover, it is said that the strength of this elder is unfathomable, and he has already reached the realm of a grandmaster.
Such a powerful figure was now captured as easily as a helpless chick. How could this not make everyone terrified?
Just as people were discussing this, a deep and steady voice came from another private room: "Yes, this is indeed the Great Elder of Ghost Gate. Rumor has it that his martial arts skills have long been at the pinnacle, but I never expected that he would end up like this today. It's truly unforeseen."
As these two voices rang out, the already noisy scene instantly became even more lively.
People were whispering to each other, and exclamations of surprise were heard one after another.
Who could have expected that a top martial artist who had reached the perfect state of Grandmaster could be easily suppressed in front of everyone? This was truly beyond imagination.
Then, Yan Xia said solemnly, "Just now, our president delivered an important message. From now on, the Ghost Gate Organization will be completely blacklisted by Xiaoyao Company. Here, I solemnly warn everyone to maintain good order at this auction. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"
As soon as Yan Xia finished speaking, suddenly, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire venue.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the body of the Ghost Gate Elder, who was originally like a puddle of mud and lifeless, was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force. A large amount of scarlet and glaring blood gushed out of his body, instantly dyeing a large area of the surrounding ground red.
At the same time, along with this horrifying bloody smell, the profound martial arts skills of the Ghost Gate Elder seemed to have encountered a terrible storm, and collapsed in an instant and turned into nothing.
Immediately afterwards, there was a dull sound, and the body of the Ghost Gate Elder, which had become soft and lifeless, was thrown out of the venue mercilessly like a tattered sack.
Seeing such a horrifying scene, Yan Xia took a deep breath and spoke again: "Alright, everyone from Ghost Gate, please take your Great Elder away from here as soon as possible! Don't let this unpleasant incident affect everyone's mood and bidding."
After a brief pause, she continued, "Now, let's move on to today's highlight - the auction of the Realm Breakthrough Pill."
Due to the shocking incident caused by the Ghost Gate Elder, many guests present at this moment could not help but reveal deep awe in their eyes when they looked at Yan Xia.
They all suppressed the little thoughts in their hearts that shouldn't have existed, for fear that they would accidentally follow in the footsteps of the Ghost Gate Elder.
As Yan Xia announced that the bidding for the Breakthrough Pill would resume, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and heated.
Representatives from all parties are gearing up and determined to win.
The constant shouting of bids and the ever-increasing price increases intertwined together, bringing the entire auction into a white-hot stage.
After a thrilling and fierce competition, this highly anticipated breakthrough pill was finally bought by a mysterious person sent by the authorities at a staggering price of 600 million yuan.
