Chapter 736: Mammoth Funds
Inside Qin Feng's villa at Fengli City.
"President, what's with the attack just now? It was no ordinary assault. Is someone trying to take down our organization?" Xue Xingfu asked carefully.
This was probably the first time he felt unrest.
At the same time, he was also perplexed by the task Qin Feng had given him.
Qin Feng left about a week ago leaving behind massive amounts of resources. This included the bands of spatial equipment found inside the Glutton's stomach.
Qin Feng had asked him to dump them in the market as quickly as possible to raise funds and changed all of them into power credits.
Xue Xingfu was not concerned at first. But the sudden attack and Qin Feng's decision to collect funds raised his suspicion. He wondered whether Qin Feng had offended someone dangerous who he could not deal with and had to hide.
If that were so, then the Fengli Organization as well as the entire North Sea would be in great chaos.
"Don't worry. Just an elect from the Amazon Alliance. He is here because I slaughtered a group of Dark Coalition members when I was there."
Not many knew about the news. If he did not publicize it, no one in Huaxia would even know the earth-shattering stuff he had done in Amazon.
Qin Feng said it absent-mindedly and quickly changed the subject, "How many funds have you gathered so far?"
Seeing Qin Feng being Qin Feng, Xue Xingfu was slightly relieved. In fact, he had zero idea where this Amazon Alliance was.
'I should go and check it up later.' Xue Xingfu thought to himself. He then shook off his worry and began to explain to Qin Feng his result thus far.
"Boss, the number of goods you gave me was simply too vast. I had no choice but to be firing on all cylinders. First, we had a series of advertisements posted on the battle net and then offered the spatial stones directly through the network. With our advanced spatial technology, we have set up multiple warehouses in different cities. This allows us to deliver the product to the buyer with minimal delay. Other than that, we have also employed several aircrafts as a mobile auction center that tours from city to city. This past week, we have let go of a good deal of stocks."
Xue Xingfu passed an account statement to Qin Feng. It listed all the transactions only up to yesterday midnight. Trades were still ongoing as they spoke.
Even so, the amount gained was still bewildering.
Qin Feng would need to focus and scan the long string of numbers with his consciousness to get the general picture.
"Because it would still take some time to completely clear them off, I have decided to convert part of the money into power credits first. Here's the first batch."
Xue Xingfu handed over three spatial equipment. Those were ring-shaped spatial stones. The volume inside each of the stones was about 100 x 100 x 100 meters. They were considered the most spacious among small-scale spatial equipment.
Right now, the 1,000,000 m3 space inside each of the spatial stones was fully fitted with power credits with no gap left.
Three rings totaled 3,000,000 m3 power credits!
How much money was in there?
One cubic power credit equaled 1 million. In other words, there were 300 billion worth of power credits in these three small rings.
Converting them to common money meant that Qin Feng would be carrying 3,000 trillion with him.
That was an absurd amount of funds.
Though Qin Feng could easily gain a few hundred trillion completing a mission at this stage, owning 3,000 trillion of cash flow was still pretty insane. Perhaps some of the A-tiers had also never seen such an amount in their entire life.
Through years of accumulation, B-tiers normally would reach roughly 5-6 trillion worth of assets, while A-tiers would at most amass a few hundred trillion. Shang Han was not joking when she lamented that Qin Feng was earning more than she did, and she had said it multiple times.
Anyone would go crazy obtaining this huge sum of money.
Understandably, Xue Xingfu was nervous carrying such a huge burden with him. He was relieved when he finally handed out the rings to Qin Feng.
But very quickly, Qin Feng threw him another pile of goods.
"These are the latest loot. Deal them out the same way too. I have only one week left. You have to speed up," Qin Feng said.
Xue Xingfu's head began to ache when he saw more spatial equipment. Employees allocated to sort the equipment and its contents alone were already up to a thousand people. One piece of equipment among the large pile would be enough to turn an employee's fortune overnight. However, no one dared to touch Qin Feng's assets.
"More? President, what are you planning to do?" Xue Xingfu asked.
"Nothing much. I am going to an auction."
Xue Xingfu was first stunned, then his eyes beamed with excitement. "Dusk Dragon Event!"
Qin Feng nodded.
Xue Xingfu rubbed his hand and asked, "Boss, you see… Am I…"
Qin Feng glanced at him and said, "I will bring you when you are a B-tier."
Xue Xingfu was immediately muted. He was a genius in business management but a sloth in self-investment. He did change after meeting Qin Feng and had trained harder since, yet B-tier was still far beyond his reach.
"I have faith in you. Right now, I am not powerful enough to scare people off with my name alone. When I reach that height one day in the future, you will be free to go wherever you like."
Strength required time to build up.
Afterward, Qin Feng asked about the overall operation of the organization. Though Xue Xingfu's business instinct was impeccable, Qin Feng could still provide Xue Xingfu useful insight using his memory of the future. This would prevent the latter from taking the wrong path with false promises.
But the more he learned about the business, the more he was impressed by Xue Xingfu. He was especially blown away by the new battle net business model created by Xue Xingfu. Wanzong had attempted the same idea before but logistic centering on Sky Pigeon posed a lot of risk and uncertainty. More importantly, the distance that a Sky Pigeon could travel was very limited.
In contrast, Fengli used their one-and-only space jump technology to deliver the goods, which was far quicker and entirely safe.
"Sigh. We have just offended Public Capital not long ago, and now we are stepping on Wanzong's tail." Qin Feng shook his head while laughing bitterly. Sometimes, being too outstanding was not entirely a good thing.
"President, then should we tone it down a little? Honestly, the things we auction out all come from the spatial equipment you have collected. This is a capital-less business for us either way. If we sell it at a discounted price, we would still earn a ton. However, this will inevitably displease our competitors," Xue Xingfu said, "Wanzong's general manager stationed in Fengli almost fainted out of anger when he knew what we were doing."
Qin Feng furrowed his brows. Wanzong's chief was unlike those from the Public Capital. He was a true S-tier.
An idea came into Qin Feng's mind that lightened up his mood. He grinned and said, "Contact Wanzong and tell them we are willing to sell them the goods at cost price."
Xue Xingfu had been selling them at a discounted price anyway. If Wanzong said yes to the offer, then this would be a win-win situation.
Chapter 737: A Win-Win Trade
Though Xue Xingfu was a little reluctant to hand over the profit this easily to Wanzong, he believed Qin Feng's decision was for the greater good.
The Dusk Dragon Event was going to offer a lot of unthinkable treasures. If Qin Feng could bring back a rare thing or two from the auction, it would benefit Fengli in the long run.
"Alright, I will contact them immediately."
Although Xue Xingfu had not been on good terms with the people from Wanzong recently, they were all businessmen, after all.
Despite the conflict, their communication with each other was never truly cut off. On one hand, they relied on each other for information exchanged. On the other hand, they needed to keep in touch with what the other was up to recently. Exchanges between large corporations involved a lot of mind games.
With his broad connection, Xue Xingfu managed to contact more than ten representatives from the Wanzong side. However, none of them could take Xue Xingfu's offer.
The amount of product Xue Xingfu had packaged together was simply too much.
As such, these representatives needed to refer to their upper echelon. After the information was passed up several levels, finally an A-tier from Wanzong expressed his interest and wished to examine the goods.
Qin Feng was beside Xue Xingfu during the back and forth and nodded when he heard the reply. He said, "Tell him to come to Fengli City. I will meet him personally."
"Noted!" Xue Xingfu quickly made the appointment. Both sides agreed to meet up on that very night.
The person who arrived at Fengli City was someone Qin Feng knew. His name was Zong Qianli, the person in charge of Wanzong's business in the entire north region. His influence in the corporation was probably second only to their S-tier president, who was his father.
Zong Qianli was at least fifty years old and above. Being an A-tier user, he could easily change his outlook with cosmetic herbs. He appeared a mature figure in his early thirties.
Qin Feng walked up to him and shook his hand.
"Here is the CEO of my Fengli Organization, Xue Xingfu."
Xue Xingfu was only a D-tier but he showed no fear in front of Zong Qianli. Instead, the spirit in his eyes beamed enthusiastically. His hair was erected as if he was ready to bite off a large chunk from his opponent's body.
"Mr. Xue is very proactive recently, as I have heard. Honestly, if I don't get your call, we would probably suspect that Fengli is planning to take us down."
"Hahaha! How could that ever happen when Wanzong has someone like Mr. Zong? It's still too early for Fengli to be Wanzong's competitor." The eyes on Xue Xingfu's face narrowed as he put on a harmless grin.
However, that was only on the outside. Xue Xingfu was destined to become one of the most successful businessmen in the future. He would never be harmless.
This here was a man who could scrape you clean, and you might still be willing to thank him.
Qin Feng knew exactly what Xue Xingfu would become, while Zong Qianli was clearly intrigued by the two extraordinary men standing in front of him.
In this current world, there were a lot of combatants and little businessmen.
Yet right now he was looking at an uncommon combination of an outstanding elect and a cunning businessman. It was really hard to guess how such a combo would fare in the future.
"Haha, so you are implying that Fengli would indeed be our competitor in the future? Then perhaps we should be on guard."
"Please don't be. You know I didn't mean that. We are now collaborating for a win-win situation. So, let's be honest with each other." The mind game had begun.
They conversed cheerfully as if they had known each other for more than ten years. Xue Xingfu was undoubtedly a master of negotiation.
Even though Xue Xingfu was the one mediating the conversation, Qin Feng had not been left out. Zong Qianli was eager to know about him too.
"I believe these loots were gained by Mr. Qin from looting the Dark Coalition organizations based near the Amazon, right?"
Qin Feng was taken aback but remained calm on the outside. Wanzong as a business organization was indeed well-informed. He had only been back from the Amazon for less than a day. Even Shang Han knew little about his experience there, but Wanzong seemed to have grasped most of the info.
He nodded and answered firmly, "Yes. They are filthy rich. I believe you will be pleased with the things I have brought back."
"It's hard to believe. What a brilliant young man you are."
"You are flattering me. This is nothing worth boasting about."
"No, no, this is no flattery. I know you are the real deal. Do you mind sharing with me how you defeated so many high-rank users?"
"I would say luck plays a huge role. They have been lacking sharpness and vigilance for a long time. That's why my ambush was so effective."
"I don't think it's all luck. I know you fought your way into the most dangerous city in the Amazon Alliance."
"About that. I just happened to pass by the city. I had no idea then. Again, lucky, as I said."
Their exchanges yielded little meaning. Actually, Zong Qianli wanted to find out more about Qin Feng's strength and ability through the conversation. This would be useful for his organization in the future.
Yet, Zong Qianli realized he could draw nothing useful out of Qin Feng's mouth. Qin Feng might be all smiles and not as shrewd as Xue Xingfu, but his mouth was equally airtight.
'This Qin Feng is pretty sly too. Great, not as cunning, but still a fox, like Xue Xingfu nevertheless.' Zong Qianli knew he would not get more than he already knew at this point. Qin Feng's true strength was still a mystery.
He understood that Qin Feng was a B-tier and that was all. The young president of Fengli did not leak even a tiny bit of his power all this while sitting in front of the A-tier Zong Qianli.
In the end, Zong Qianli finally got some useful information.
"Mr. Qin, if I guess right, you plan to attend the Dusk Dragon, right?" Zong Qianli asked using a surprised tone.
The Dusk Dragon Event indeed was a place full of treasures. But the risk was too high. He never thought Qin Feng would want to attend such a dangerous occasion.
Qin Feng had no intention to hide this from him and admitted straightforwardly, "Yea. That's why I needed the funds. Mr. Xue over here has already prepared some for me. However, the more the better. Besides, we have no doubt brought some inconveniences to Wanzong earlier. I see this as an opportunity for us to mend our relationship and achieve a win-win. So, please don't be too harsh in slashing the price later, Mr. Zong."
"Hahaha. I wouldn't do such a thing!" Zong Qianli replied with a cold smile.
"That would be the best. Why don't we go and check out the stocks first? Mr. Zong, this way!" Xue Xingfu chipped in.
Xue Xingfu led the way and brought Zong Qianli to the sorting warehouse. Everything Qin Feng had gathered on this trip had been moved there.
When they arrived, all the items were being sorted out through different tunnels and evaluated at the end of the line. Other than some of the erratic items with unknown functions, most of these things that once belonged to an A-tier offered immense value.
After that, it was time for the heated negotiation.
Qin Feng followed them to back Xue Xingfu so that Zong Qianli could not overwhelm Xue Xingfu with the imposing A-tier aura of his.
Their negotiation lasted for seven hours straight. The deal was finally closed at 1,000 trillion.
If the news of Qin Feng having a vast sum of power credits broke out, even an S-tier would be intrigued.
Moreover, he was heading to the most treacherous place on Earth—the Black Citadel!
Chapter 738: To the Dark Citadel
The Dark Citadel was situated on an island near the South Sea not too far from Huaxia.
The island was connected to the mainland with a heavily guarded bridge. There was hardly any way to bypass the garrison and smuggle into the island.
More importantly, if one was caught entering the island without permission, there was only one result that awaited—a miserable death.
Qin Feng did not really hide his desire to visit the Dark Citadel. Most of his cadre inside Fengli was informed, and now even Zong Qianli was told. However, Shang Han probably had no idea. She would definitely stop Qin Feng from going if she finds out.
The Dark Citadel was full of unthinkable threats.
Qin Feng did not rest for long. He departed quietly with Bai Li the next night.
It was a clear night. The air was warm and damp.
The sea breeze during this time was different from other seasons.
Bai Li seemed to enjoy such scenery. She relaxed with one hand holding on to the small fox mask on her face.
Qin Feng by her side was wearing the same set of masks. His mask was the shape of a black fox.
They were currently queuing in front of the entrance of the Dark Citadel. The bridge was jam-packed with cars.
The citadel would be bustling with guests around this time every year. Members of the Dark Coalition hidden in Huaxia would tacitly emerge here to join the Dusk Dragon Event.
To most Dark Coalition organizations, the auction was only a side event. They were usually more eager about the appropriation meeting held after that.
If two sides had an unsolvable conflict involving the B-tiers, then they would normally resolve it in this time and place.
Even if the negotiation were to break down, they could come down with the last resort—fight to the death. A problem would no longer be a problem when one of the conflicted parties was dead.
Qin Feng's hovercraft finally reached the gate.
A B5-tier guard stood there at the entrance. With such a reliable guard, even an A-tier could not have forced their way through.
"Which faction are you from?" The person asked and measured both of them.
Qin Feng acted differently from his usual self.
He was emitting B2-tier beast emperor aura. Such an imposing presence posed enormous pressure to anyone facing him.
Besides, he had just slaughtered a large band of criminals in the Amazon Alliance. A blood scent found only on a person who had killed numerous times oozed out from his body. An aptitude user with sharp consciousness could catch it easily.
Hence, the guard was startled when he met eyes with Qin Feng for the first time.
"I am joining on my own." Qin Feng camouflaged his voice into a deeper tone and threw a bag to the guard.
The bag was quite heavy. There were exactly 2,000 power credits inside.
When Qin Feng entered the City of Death, it only cost him 10,000 per person. He paid only 20 power credits then and now the entrance fees were a hundred times that.
The Dark Citadel was where the true fighters were found.
"Give me two badges for visitors," Qin Feng said.
The man took a look inside the bag and could tell that the amount was right. He nodded. "Sure. You know the rules in there?"
"Yea." Qin Feng answered straightforwardly.
After that, the person gave Qin Feng two visitor badges. Qin Feng did not put on his B-tier aptitude user badge since it would be an act of provocation. He and Bai Li pinned the visitor badge on their chest.
Their hovercraft was promptly given the green light afterward.
The fees would not be that high if one was entering as a member of a certain faction. More so, some infamous individuals could drive straight in simply by providing their names.
However, on such a unique occasion, there were actually ample members of the Huaxia Alliance attending the auction too. Participants in masks usually belonged to this group.
Though sarcastic, members from the Huaxia Alliance were some of the most generous contributors to the Dusk Dragon Event every year.
Qin Feng's hovercraft sped across the bridge and soon arrived at the well-known Dark Citadel.
This was the paradise of crime, an island second only to hell.
"We have to be careful in the next few days." Qin Feng steered his hovercraft cautiously and stopped in front of a normal hotel. But at such times, even the most unremarkable hotel might have one or two A-tiers living inside. It would be rather unfortunate if one accidentally offended a quick-tempered powerful user during the stay.
Qin Feng was not afraid of anyone but this was, after all, a city entirely under the Dark Coalition's control. The Amazon Alliance was considered a peaceful place when compared to the Dark Citadel.
It would be shocking to find seven A-tiers in the Amazon Alliance but Qin Feng would not be surprised if there were seventy A-tiers around him now.
They asked for a room and settled in without attracting much attention.
Qin Feng connected to the city network with his brand-new communicator and checked the latest information on it.
[The Dusk Dragon Auction would be held two days from now.]
[The first round of auction offers ten god weapons and S-tier items.]
[The Dusk Dragon Party has already begun!]
[In seven days, the spatial waymark to Hell Island would be opened. The tickets are on sale now.]
Qin Feng's eyes were fixated on the last line.
Hell Island was the most attractive place in this Dark Citadel.
It was a stable dimension and would open at a fixed time every year. The dimension had gone on for more than ten years. The beasts there were perilous, with B-tier beast kings and beast emperors the most frequent occurrences.
For that reason, it served as the perfect place to hunt for B-tier beast cores for Bai Li's consumption.
At the same time, Qin Feng would progress quickly there too.
It killed two birds with one stone.
Qin Feng bought the ticket without any hesitation. The ticket price was ludicrous with each selling at 100 million power credits.
Without question, this price was set for A-tiers. B-tier ability users were free to buy it too but nobody would collect their body if they were killed there.
Of course, an A-tier was allowed to bring 10 companions inside. As such, a lot of B-tiers would like to test their luck and hop on. They would be charged less at 10 million power credits going in with an A-tier. This pricing was similar to what Qin Feng charged for the Cinderclast Dimension.
The ticket was directly linked to the communicator. If the owner of the communicator were killed, his or her communicator could be used by someone else to enter the island.
Thus, those who were unable to fork out the money would try to steal or rob the communicator, which led to battles of different scales inside the city.
Qin Feng did not want any trouble so he did not step out of the hotel in the next two days.
Despite staying in, he remained alert with the development and news around the city.
On the third day after his arrival, the Dusk Dragon Auction had officially begun.
Chapter 739: Seeing Riches Causes Evil Thoughts
That day, Qin Feng finally stepped out of the hotel with Bai Li to head toward the largest shopping complex in the Dark Citadel.
The auction was like a massive arena fight, it was nothing short of a grand event.
Qin Feng had previously bought a ticket but it would take more than just that to enter the Dusk Dragon Auction.
"Sir, the Dusk Dragon Auction stipulates that verification is necessary in order for entry. Please present your spatial ring, this device I have would be able to detect the amount of value contained inside your spatial rune equipment!"
"Sure!"
Qin Feng took off the spatial rune ring from his hand and handed it over to the woman who was doing the verifications. With a quick wave of the device she had a number appeared.
The woman was surprised then gently returned the ring to Qin Feng. Not only that, her voice had gotten much sweeter!
"Honored guest, thank you for your cooperation. In order to express our gratitude we specially prepared a private room to provide you with unique services. Here is your number card!"
Qin Feng naturally accepted it and nodded.
Things were going as he expected.
The Dusk Dragon Auction had been held for a very long time now, so much so that it had established its own method of operation. If someone showed that they had more than 10 billion credits they would receive a private room.
The environment of this private room upheld secrecy, which was exactly something that Qin Feng appreciated.
Besides that, he only took out a ring and that was already worth 100 billion power credits!
He flipped over the number card and learned that his number was 1-85!
In the Dusk Dragon Auction, the centermost point was the auction table surrounded by auctioneer seats which could hold up to a hundred thousand people altogether.
That was surrounded by a ring of one hundred rooms that stacked up to six levels!
1-85 meant that his place was on the first level, regardless of distance or level, this was a decent spot to be.
However, when Qin Feng entered, an aptitude user that entered before him was suddenly dissatisfied!
"What the heck? How come he gets a private room but I don't? Are you looking down on me?"
This aptitude user was pretty strong, ranking around A2-tier, but he seemed a bit unkempt as if he had just wandered out of some backwater area.
Qin Feng gave the person a glance then chose to ignore him. He had never seen this aptitude user before.
Either they had never interacted before or that this person had died long before Qin Feng became famous!
Maybe the person died while on Hell Island!
Since he was looking at someone who should not be alive, there was no point in paying him any heed.
When Qin Feng turned to ignore the aptitude user, the person would not accept that. Just when Qin Feng was about to walk away, he moved in front of him to intercept.
"Boy, you better show some damn respect, did you not hear me?" The aptitude user said in a serious tone.
Qin Feng stopped and the corner of his mouth crooked up into a cold smirk. "The people who'd force me to show respect haven't been born yet!"
"Then, today I'll be the one to make you kneel!"
Saying that, the ancient warrior swung at him.
Qin Feng raised his hand, pouring internal force into his fist before it crashed into the other's fist.
Neither of them unleashed their aura, neither did they strike out with terrifying power that would be enough to affect their surroundings.
This punch was just a test.
Of course, in the eyes of the ancient warrior, even if this was just a test, there was a chance he could kill Qin Feng!
The moment the two fists met, they unleashed their internal force upon the point of impact!
Qin Feng's internal force broke through the other's internal force and entered his hand.
In an instant, he ripped apart the other's meridians and broke his hand's bones!
With no internal force to protect it, the body was very fragile!
"Aaah!"
The A-tier aptitude user cried out, but not just that, with just one punch from Qin Feng he was sent flying back four to five meters.
He wanted to hold his hand but realized that the hand was misshapen. Its meridians had been broken and his bones fractured into pieces.
Ever since he made a name for himself, he had never received injuries. Not only was he injured today, he was also injured by a young person who was supposedly B-tier.
It was hard to believe that this could happen.
Just when he was about to unleash his strength and try to kill Qin Feng, the members of the Dusk Dragon Auction had already appeared!
This newcomer was an A-tier aptitude user and brought along several B-tiers. The person was something of a general in the Dark Citadel ; a force to be reckoned with; and functioned as a retainer.
"Explain to me what just happened?" The person asked in a deep voice.
The verification lady from before approached and began to explain the entire thing in a hushed tone, but there was no doubt that she was more biased toward Qin Feng.
The A-tier general glanced at the person who caused this fuss then at Qin Feng before smirking.
"There's always someone causing some kind of trouble during the Dusk Dragon Auction. I'll give you two options. Turn away and leave immediately, but be rest assured the Dusk Dragon Auction won't forget this."
Having said that, the A-tier general let out a spine-chilling bark of laughter.
The person that made a fuss knew that he was not this general's match but when he heard that the Dusk Dragon Auction would not forget about it his heart skipped a beat.
Then the general added, "The second choice is to stop f*cking about and go to where you're supposed to go! If you have any problems with that, take that nonsense outside!"
This meant that the other person should just take his seat at the auctioneer's place instead of trying to fight Qin Feng for his private room.
The general figured that this A-tier saw that Qin Feng had a weaker level but was carrying a lot of money. Seeing riches caused evil thoughts!
Unexpectedly, he slammed right into a metal wall.
The general turned his attention to Qin Feng with an inquisitive gaze and asked, "Honored guest, what do you think?"
Qin Feng replied, "Didn't you just solve everything? Why bother asking what I think?"
This general was only trying to smooth things over and Qin Feng could naturally see that so he was not bothered. This issue was considered temporarily resolved unless he was able to kill that person with his bare hands.
He no longer cared about how things would proceed and began to leave, grabbing Bai Li's hand as he moved on.
When the ancient warrior saw Qin Feng's behavior he felt the need to rush at the boy and kill him.
However, he managed to restrain himself and growled, "I suggest you never leave this place, because the moment you step out of here I will tear you apart!"
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
Qin Feng did not take the man's threat to heart. After arriving at his private room, he found a booklet on his table. These kinds of things were only provided inside VIP rooms such as the one he was in.
Among this catalogue were the ten mysterious divine treasures that he had heard about!
He looked through the list and knew that there was only a small part of these items that were actually from other planes or realms!
Most of these were loot obtained from killing other people!
At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly saw something.
"They even have this one too!"
Chapter 740: S-Rank Item
Although god armaments were a rarity, so long as something's power far surpassed the beast emperors of the same rank then those items could be counted as god armaments.
For example, the Sacred Armor that Qin Feng wore was in fact only a B-tier god armor while the Verdant Emperor Saber was a B-tier super god weapon. Besides, it had been melded with some S-tier materials, it could still develop further. At that time, Qin Feng would have to hunt down A-tier ultra beasts!
However, what appeared in front of Qin Feng was an S-tier item. More than that, it was something that he could use.
"The Sacred Water Stone!" Qin Feng looked at the above starting price and it was a full 10 billion power credits. It was unknown how much its buyout price was. This was a very attractive item for any water ability user.
Something like that was the equivalent of the Hellstone and the Sacred Flame Meteor.
After losing both Sacred Stones, Qin Feng was not at his full strength. It was only because of his previous training and step by step accumulation of power that it made others see him as invincible.
When it came to S-tiers however, he had no aces up his sleeve!
"I'll definitely have to seize this Sacred Water Stone!" Qin Feng now had an objective.
After that he looked through the catalogue about the god armaments and eventually learned that none of them grabbed his interest as much as the Sacred Water Stone, or that they were entirely useless to him. He also looked through for some A-tier materials that he found were suitable to upgrade the Verdant Emperor Saber.
As he continued the browse, the auction had begun!
"Welcome to all distinguished aptitude users to the annual Dusk Dragon Auction!"
"Next, we'll be doing a warm-up round and carry out the first round of large scale auctioning! Roll the flick!"
"Now, the first wave of 100 items are officially on sale. With a 10 minute countdown, we will now begin the auction!"
At this time, a group of women clad in alluring outfits walked onto the auction stage.
It was said before that the Dusk Dragon Auction was a lot like an arena, this place was large!
These women all held trays in their hands, taking their respective positions before lifting the red cloth covering these trays to reveal the rune equipment within. As the rune equipment contents were revealed, their auras burst forth.
These were all for auction!
Qin Feng found a virtual projection in front of him. The communicator could be easily connected to it, allowing him to scroll through the hundred items. It gave him a clear view of what each item was, including their description. These items were scanned thoroughly with consciousness before people could bid on them.
The first batch of 100 items were all materials of C-tier beast kings and above, there were even five beast emperor materials.
These materials naturally ranged from a few million credits to tens of millions of credits.
For Qin Feng, this was no big deal.
However, for other B-tiers, these things definitely had value. For a B-tier to hunt down a C-tier beast king, such a task required a lot of effort. If they needed such things and could directly buy them then it would be much more worthwhile.
Soon, all these materials were quickly sold out!
"10 minutes are up, onward with the next batch for auction!"
The auctioneer jabbered out the items' names very quickly!
After the third time, the auction had been going on for half an hour. People's enthusiasm had cooled a little, which was obviously something the auctioneer did not want to see.
As an experienced auctioneer, how could there not be something to spice things up?
"Next up, please take a look at our first god weapon!"
This first weapon also had quite a bit of history to it.
What appeared in front of everyone was a scimitar.
The weapon's blade seemed to be made out of gold, dazzling those who stared directly at it.
Qin Feng saw the scimitar and immediately blurted out its name.
"The Golden Fury Scimitar!"
God weapons all had their own origins. While it was unknown who made some of them, whoever could master the use of these weapons would live on in legend.
This was a weapon that once belonged to a famous A-tier general from the Southern Region. Unfortunately, this A-tier general died about a year ago!
After the death of a powerful A-tier, his descendants were unable to inherit the items he left behind. Unless they were extremely powerful, they would not be able to use these items. It was possible that one of them decided to sell the weapon.
Regardless, the moment the treasure appeared it kicked up a stir among everyone present!
"Now, the bidding starts at 3 billion credits and each price increase must at least be 100 million credits! Begin auction!"
There were too many people and the big screen began to roll through the numbers as people cast their bids, rapidly increasing in numbers.
In just one minute, the bid had reached up to 30 billion!
"Alright, the VIP in the VIP room 3-66 bids 30.5 billion credits!"
"VIP 10-488 bids 30.6 billion!"
"Number 6-13…"
As people continued to bid, the scimitar eventually fell into the possession of someone in a private room with the final bid being 36.5 billion.
Although the price was much higher than its bidding price, even so that kind of amount would not necessarily net someone a god weapon. These were things that were always sought after!
After the emergence of a god weapon, there was a rise in overall enthusiasm for the auction. The auctioneer unleashed the next batch, but it was obvious that the tier had been brought down to B-tier!
Things continued forward and by the third hour of the auction, three god weapons had been auctioned and then the A-tier ultra beast materials finally showed up!
Among these materials, there were mostly beast general and beast king materials. Only 5% were beast emperor materials.
When these materials were displayed, the wild aura that they unleashed made the B-tiers sitting in the front dizzy and almost made a fool out of them.
Especially the head of a Giant Boar Emperor which looked terrifying even when it was dead. Its massive head was three stories tall and its teeth jutted out from its lower jaws like spears, ready to pierce someone at any time.
A-tier beast king materials had the starting bid of 10 billion credits, when converted into normal currency that would be 100 trillion which was a clear sign of how terrifying that value was.
At this point, most of the B-tiers did not try to bid. It was unknown how many A-tiers were present at the auction but the competition was not very intense compared to the previous auctions.
In fact, many of them were sold off at surprisingly lower prices.
Qin Feng bid for some beast king materials as well as some feathers from a Blazing Inferno Phoenix Emperor, which only cost less than 2 million credits.
In the auctions of materials, there were even such things as unsuccessful auctions!
At this time, everyone knew that they were about to enter today's highlight!
There were seven god weapons left, as well as some special S-tier materials and even mystery items.
Qin Feng did not pay attention to the previous events but he started to be more alert when the things he wanted were rolled in.
"Distinguished guests, the next item for auction is the Sacred Water Stone which contains countless numbers of water elemental runes. It can increase the power of water ability users by ten fold…"
Qin Feng's consciousness swept across the Sacred Water Stone. It looked smaller than the one that Shang Han gave to him before. It was no more than the size of a pebble, but the aura of water runes around was immensely thick.
Chapter 741: Seizing the Sacred Water Stone
Following the auctioneer's display, the sacred stone was revealed from its sealed crystal box. Blue runes suddenly floated up into the air, not only that, they began to rapidly increase in number as the air around them condensed into water. From the looks of things, it was going to cause a huge wave!
The auctioneer quickly closed the crystal box!
This crystal box seemed to have a unique function, the sacred stone's runes gradually disappeared as they quietly floated back into it.
This thing was not a fake!
Such a display only made people yearn for the effects after they succeeded in bidding for it!
"Now, the auction for the Sacred Water Stone will begin. The starting price is 10 billion credits. Following price increases must at least be 100 million credits. Begin!"
At this time the big screen pulsed with a series of numbers.
Qin Feng saw the numbers jump up one by one and entered a number without hesitation.
"30 billion!"
At this time, the others who were keying in their bids were issued with a notification that said,
[The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]
Just when they lowered their heads to key in their bids, the number on the screen had changed to 30 billion!
"A VIP room person again!"
"How rich and tyrannical, the auction just began and they're putting it at such a high price already!"
"No, this Sacred Water Stone is very important to me! I will not lose!"
These people gritted their teeth and raised their bids!
Upon seeing what they were doing, Qin Feng entered a number again.
He did not want to waste time and compete with them 100 million by 100 million. For Qin Feng, all that was left were the credits.
"50 billion!"
The price jumped up again by huge margin!
At this point, most people would have given up when they saw that price!
The auctioneer finally opened his mouth and said excitedly, "Now, the guest from VIP Room 1-85 has bid for 50 billion. The going price is 50 billion, 50 billion, do we have anyone else?"
A trace of hatred flashed in the eyes of a man in the normal seating area.
This person was Liu Hang, who had a confrontation with Qin Feng from before! Liu Hang was an A-tier and the head of an ancient martial arts family. However, because his family practiced dark martial arts they stayed away from the general population and lived in seclusion. Due to not going out much, he rarely interacted with other A-tiers and having been the head of his family for so long he had developed a superiority complex.
When he came here, even though he knew that there were many strong people present he was not afraid of anyone. What he did not expect was some B-tier overwhelming him.
Liu Hang was naturally unhappy, but he did not expect this B-tier to be such a difficult obstacle.
"That number. Isn't it that kid from before? I'll make you bleed!" Liu Hang recognized Qin Feng's room number at once.
He raised a trembling injured hand and keyed in his bid!
"50.1 billion! Someone has bid 50.1 billion out of nowhere!" The auctioneer announced.
"VIP 1-85 raised their bid again to 51 billion!"
"51.1 billion!"
"Do we have more bids?"
Qin Feng increased the price several times, raising it by 1 billion credits one at a time, after a few rounds the price had reached up to 57 billion credits!
At the same time, Liu Hang also added 100 million yuan each time, raising the price that Qin Feng had to bid.
"57.1 billion! Number 7126 has bid for 57.1 billion!"
Qin Feng frowned and his consciousness swept toward that seat. When number 7126's person fell into his line of sight he realized that it was the person who was causing trouble earlier.
Looks like that guy had more money than he had sense.
57.1 billion was not Qin Feng's limit, but the other one, an ancient warrior, would not need the Sacred Water Stone. Thinking of this, Qin Feng chuckled coldly and actually stopped adding to the price.
"57.1 billion, is there anyone else to increase the price? Nobody?" The auctioneer looked in the direction of VIP room 1-85. There were others who tried to peek in with their consciousness but the room was shielded against such acts. Nobody knew what Qin Feng was thinking and gave up after their attempted scan.
The numbers on the screen did not scroll and it fell into a 30 second countdown.
"Alright. 57.1 billion going once!"
The countdown reached 20 seconds.
"57.1 billion going twice!"
Countdown, 10, 9, 8…
Liu Hang was beginning to break out into cold sweat. The truth was that he did not have so much money on him, at most he had 40 billion, which was all of his belongings. He was only bidding to drive up the price, but now he realized that this farce was going to end in a tragedy!
He was just asking for trouble!
"57.1 billion going thri-"
The countdown had almost reached 1 but at that moment, the numbers on the big screen jumped.
57.2 billion!
It was obvious that Qin Feng had added the sum at the end.
"Phew!" Liu Hang let out a sigh, his heart almost leapt out of his throat but he was able to recollect himself and leaned back in his seat. His face was pale with fright.
Fortunately the other party added money to the bid or else the result would have been unthinkable.
Although Liu Hang did not hold anyone with regard he knew about the horror of the Dusk Dragon Auction. If he could not pay up, he would have to pay with his life.
In fact, he understood that Qin Feng really wanted this item and this time he was only trying to scare him.
But who would be able to guarantee that Qin Feng would be able to continue bidding?
Liu Hang did not dare to try to test that again!
As such, without competition, the bid was set at 57.2 billion!
Qin Feng had won the auction for the Sacred Water Stone.
When the Sacred Water Stone was sent over, another item was taken out to be auctioned. While everyone was paying attention to that auction, someone appeared in Qin Feng's private room!
It was the general from before that handled the scuffle between Liu Hang and Qin Feng.
"Congratulations on getting the auctioned item, Sir. You can have a look at it!"
Qin Feng nodded, took the crystal box and opened it.
The Sacred Water Stone dropped into Qin Feng's hand, but with his consciousness suppressing it, it did not try to release a tidal wave like before. All of the runes were blocked inside the stone as if they were unable to come out.
His consciousness was still able to sense that there were countless runes in it!
Although this sacred stone was not as big as the ones that Qin Feng previously owned, it seemed to bear some more spirituality.
"Indeed, this is something I need!" Qin Feng nodded and handed a spatial ring to the general of the Dusk Dragon Auction!
The money within was exactly 57.2 credits!
As for the spatial rune equipment, it might as well be a gift. When compared to an S-tier item, that ring was nothing!
When the general saw the money his eyes lit up and saw that Qin Feng's expression did not look reluctant before saying, "Thank you distinguished guest for your patronage, if you are not in a hurry then perhaps you can wait for a moment. There will be a mysterious gift being offered at the end, it might be something you need as well!"
Qin Feng raised a brow, a mysterious gift?
That item was not recorded in the catalogue, but it was written at the top that there would be an elite grade treasure, it was unclear what it was!
Originally, Qin Feng planned to leave after he had gotten the Sacred Water Stone. Now that he was told by the general, he was a little intrigued!
Chapter 742: A Mysterious Gift
Later on, another line of god weapons were auctioned along with some high-tier materials. However, there were very few of them which were suitable for Qin Feng.
He also no longer tried to bid.
Of course, everything that was being auctioned were high quality objects, the one that stood out above the rest was the A-tier god weapon.
It was a dagger that was auctioned for a high price of 135 billion in the end!
Moreover, the person who won the bid was still in the audience. He had a bright expression on his face that was a combination of excitement and satisfaction. After leaving his seat, he went backstage.
Qin Feng's consciousness fell on the other and recalled something about that aura.
"Is that him? Guan Jinhau!"
Qin Feng looked at the man's seemingly young face. He did not look too old and must only be in his forties. For a type of person to be able to reach A-tier before the age of sixty would mean that he was definitely some level of genius.
Not only that, this person altered the Spectre Motion Steps and successfully developed the most powerful S-tier qinggong, the Phantom Shift!
Based on the timing, the man had already succeeded!
Guan Jinhau had incredible potential, and he was known as one of the strongest killers by the Human Alliance.
Since he was someone who killed, he kept his identity a secret. The face that he showed today might not be the same face that he would show the next time!
The reason why Qin Feng knew that the man was here was because of the dagger in Guan Jinhau's hand.
That dagger was very powerful for a god weapon. After Guan Jinhau obtained the dagger he went to the Philippines Alliance and successfully assassinated an S-tier aptitude user with that dagger, breaking through their internal force shield!
This event had terrible consequences. As a result, it made Guan Jinhau famous after that moment and people became familiar with his S-tier move, Phantom Shift.
It was the same deal as Asteroid Assimilation, it was a dark martial art.
Without Asteroid Assimilation, Liu Meng would not have become the demon that he was.
Without Phantom Shift, Guan Jinhau would have never assassinated S-tier people.
After Qin Feng traded the Glittering Gold Sand with Shang Han, he was offered three different martial arts training manuals but none of them were useful to him. At that point, the first thing that came to his mind was the Phantom Shift.
That was because Qin Feng learned the Spectre Motion Steps at the start and was planning on improving it, but after he learned the Dragon Steps, he was not bothered anymore.
Now that Qin Feng continued to get stronger, Dragon Steps would not be enough for him to keep up with himself.
The Phantom Shift? That would be a better choice!
"Don't know if Guan Jinhau would be persuaded with money?" This was an S-tier technique and that made Qin Feng unsure, but he had to try. If it did not work there was always a violent alternative.
Just as Qin Feng was mulling over this, the auctioneer's voice was heard again.
"Next up, we will conduct today's first mystery award auction!"
The lights of the stage immediately gathered at where the ceremony ladies walked through. As music rang through the entire area a graceful looking woman walked through.
"It's Fire Phoenix!"
"Is it her that's introducing this?"
"What is it? What treasure?"
Everyone grew curious.
Fire Phoenix was part of the Dusk Dragon Auction's elite. She was an A-tier known for her explosive temper, nobody dared to offend her. This time she was dressed gorgeously, her fiery red hair getting the most attention.
She brought a tray onto the stage as she entered, and pulled off the red cloth to reveal the spatial rune equipment beneath.
With a wave or her hand, a dark object fell to the ground.
Boom!
It made a loud sound as it hit the ground, people felt their feet tremble under them!
A terrible aura suddenly washed over the area!
The aura was horrible!
However, people stared at the thing intently. It was a ten meter long horn that still had some blood lingering at its edges. The aura it exuded was suffocating.
"Hwroar!"
A roar suddenly came from the dark object, it was not heard but it was felt. It was like a Dragon's roar and there seemed to be some dark energy leaking from the little scales that were still attached to it.
This belonged to some extremely humongous draconic being.
The auctioneer excitedly said, "Everyone, this is the item for auction. An S-tier powerhouse managed to chop off the single horn of an A-tier beast deity!"
"Whoaa!!"
The whole floor seemed to be boiling with energy from the audience.
Not only that, even Qin Feng was staring at this horn with wide eyes.
A beast deity!
The horn of a beast deity.
Any S-tier ultra beast that became a beast deity had achieved that by pure chance!
It was like the Glutton Leviathan, while it was already massive, it needed to access the extremely powerful Glittering Gold Sand before it could evolve into a beast deity. Would all of that not have required an extreme amount of luck?
Once a beast deity had been created, even S-tiers needed to be cautious. Based on the strength of humans, they could only deal with beast emperors who were a lower tier than themselves. As for beast deities, that would depend on the person's skill!
Just a lone horn could make so many people extremely uneasy. That was enough indication that such a beast deity was extremely powerful.
It was unclear just which S-tier managed to defeat this beast deity.
No matter what, Qin Feng knew that he had to get his hands on that horn!
"Something from a beast deity, if the Verdant Emperor Saber combined with that material it would surely get stronger!"
"Now, this beast deity horn's auction will begin! The starting price will be 100 million credits!"
This time, the others did not even need to know what the minimal amount they could bid was because that was unnecessary. The 100 million credit price was just a means to goad people onward.
The numbers on the big screen began to rapidly increase.
10 billion!
20 billion!
50 billion!
As the numbers wildly scrolled through the screen, they rushed to 80 billion in the blink of an eye.
The numbers were still being refreshed.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not make any strong moves yet. He had a lot of money, but he did not want to let this dizzying frenzy cloud his judgement.
"This beast material came from a beast deity, before my rebirth I've seen these things being auctioned before and they went up to 100 billion credits!"
With that in mind, it did not take long before the price for ultra beast horn would reach 90 billion credits.
That was the kind of wealth that would empty the pockets of any A-tier aptitude user.
"The price is now 91.7 billion!
"91.8 billion!"
"Is there anyone else? 91.9 billion!"
The auctioneer exclaimed but the bidding pace was starting to slow down as everyone began to start thinking!
At this point, Qin Feng finally showed his hand.
On the big screen, the number instantly broke through 3 digits!
Even the auctioneer exclaimed with excitement.
"100 billion! Someone has bid 100 billion power credits! VIP 1-85 has bid 100 billion credits!"
Chapter 743: It Must be Obtained
Some people thought that the room number sounded quite familiar.
These were Dark Coalition people, they all had sinister schemes. Anyone who managed to purchase something, if they did not leave early then the treasures they carried on them would make them into a target!
Qin Feng managed to seize the Sacred Water Stone for himself, in addition to Liu Hang's grudge against him. There were seven to eight people who tried to contest his bids earlier and they were paying attention to him!
When Qin Feng made his move, these people casted strange looks in his direction.
At this time, the auction's big screen had been displaying Qin Feng's 100 billion credit bid for quite some time and remained motionless.
It was then the auction proceeded into its 30 second countdown phase.
"100 billion going once!"
The auctioneer hollered.
"100 billion going twice!"
Nobody was trying to bid!
If the previous time was because Qin Feng was messing with Liu Hang to teach the man a lesson, this time, it was because everyone else was afraid of Qin Feng's financial force!
He had spent more than 50 billion credits for an item and he was still bidding, just how much money did this guy have?
If someone had money like that, that meant they had to be powerful right? It might be an elite powerhouse, maybe even an S-tier.
"100 billion going thrice!"
Ding!
The auctioneer rang the bell. "Congratulations to the VIP in VIP room 1-85 for winning the horn of the beast deity!"
At this time, a thought flashed through people's minds.
Rich and imposing!
At this time, Fire Phoenix stepped forward and put the horn away. The horrible suppressive aura disappeared.
These people looked at Fire Phoenix's back with reluctance. There was no telling if it was because they were looking at her figure or because they were watching the beast deity horn get taken away!
In less than two minutes, Qin Feng's door was knocked on again. After Qin Feng let the person in, it was not surprising that Fire Phoenix was the one to greet him this time.
By that time, the second mystery item had already been revealed.
"Sir, this second item is also quite important. Why don't you stay for the next round and have a look? We can trade goods later!" Fire Phoenix said, subtly looking at Qin Feng as if she could see the profit and value on him.
"No, I'm not interested in it!" Qin Feng said.
The Dusk Dragon Auction's things were indeed beyond his expectation!
In fact the next item that was being auctioned was the penultimate Glittering Gold Sand!
However, this was not just a small vial's worth. What was being shown was considered plenty, the value was estimated to be about 100 billion credits.
More importantly, the energy given off by this item was able to transform a normal family into an elite family.
One could empty their coffers to obtain a beast king material, and maybe someday they would suddenly die and that material might get looted off them by someone else. It would be better to cultivate one's own family and continue onward.
With that idea in mind, naturally, such an item was more popular.
Soon, the frantic bidding began again.
Besides that, it seemed that some people had been told beforehand that this item was going to appear and were just waiting for it to show up!
What made them grateful was that room 1-85 seemed to have run out of money and would no longer compete with them. Otherwise there would be another enemy.
It was just that they would not have known that Qin Feng had more Glittering Gold Sand than what was being offered for auction!
At this point, Fire Phoenix felt a little surprised. Based on Qin Feng's exposed skin, along with voice and gaze, based on the outward appearance, this person seemed very young.
"Very well distinguished guest, then we shall begin our trade now. This is the item that you've won the bid for!"
Qin Feng took the spatial rune equipment that was being offered, swept through it with his consciousness and nodded in satisfaction.
It was a good thing, a very very good thing!
"Here!" Qin Feng took out a spatial rune equipment which contained 100 billion credits.
Fire Phoenix looked at the rune equipment and glanced over at Qin Feng to meet his gaze. She was trying to size him up, the reason she came here was because she was aware of Qin Feng's strength. He was only a B2-tier and when they were verifying him they only found that he had 100 billion credits.
That was why she was worried that the other party was unable to provide the money but it looked like Qin Feng was also concealing his strength.
Qin Feng put away the rune equipment and then asked, "By the way, what's the third item going to be? If you can reveal it that is. If it's something I don't need then I'll be leaving!"
It was a wise choice, at that point everyone had their eyes on him!
When Fire Phoenix heard Qin Feng's words, she could not help but almost ask, 'You still have money?'
Despite her fiery attitude, she was not that straightforward. After thinking about it for a moment, she said, "The third item is actually related to the horn that you just bought!"
Qin Feng was taken aback.
Then, his eyes seemed to be illuminated with some kind of light!
If it was related to the horn then it must be something more valuable than the Glittering Gold Sand!
That could mean only one thing!
A beast deity crystal core!
Qin Feng returned to his seat!
He was going to also ask Bai Li something but realized that Fire Phoenix was still at the door and decided to do that later.
"Miss Fire Phoenix, thank you for your notice, I'll wait for a while before going then!" Qin Feng said.
"Very well then!" Fire Phoenix's eyes glinted, not expecting Qin Feng to be so wealthy that he would decide to contest for a beast deity crystal core.
However, her curious thought was suddenly doused by what Qin Feng said next.
"If there's nothing else, then you may go Miss Fire Phoenix. I still have some things I want to discuss with my girlfriend!"
The smile on Fire Phoenix suddenly froze and her eyes seemed to burst into flames!
Qin Feng was shooing her away? Was he not going to give her some face?
Fire Phoenix could not believe this.
However, Qin Feng's gaze did not waver, not only that, the nearby Bai Li set her attention on Fire Phoenix. For a moment, Fire Phoenix felt as if she was being stared at by some kind of terrifying behemoth.
Her fiery temper was suddenly unable to ignite and she could only blurt out, "Very well, then I'll be leaving!"
She left the private room and after closing the door, she was still wondering why she came out just like that.
She barely realized that Bai Li had just unleashed her powerful consciousness in that instant.
"One can only come across something like a beast deity crystal core like happy accidents. Although it's very likely that there would be a beast deity found on Hell Island, we might not be able to fight it just by ourselves. It must be obtained, and this item is naturally beneficial. You might need it to evolve into A-tier!"
"I don't have any issues, as long as I'm able to absorb energy my genes would allow me to evolve into a beast deity. You're different, humans can hardly break into that level but you have the dark absorption ability and are very likely to succeed! It would be best if we can get this beast deity crystal core!"
"Hmm, I just don't know if 250 billion credits would be enough!"
Chapter 744: Horrifying Auction of Three Hundred Billion Power Credits
"Let me ask Xue Xingfu if he can bring more money over." Bai Li contacted Xue Xingfu!
Items sold to the Wanzong Organization were materials that were available in large quantities, and the Fengli Organization had retained some of those in their stock. It had been several days since Qin Feng left, the Fengli Organization had also begun to recover their financial resources, accumulating into a sum of available funds.
"There are still 50 billion power credits available!" Bai Li confirmed.
"Hmm, inform him to place them into the Battlegod Tomb!" Qin Feng answered.
Xue Xingfu immediately placed the spatial ring containing power credits into the Battlegod Tomb. After Qin Feng utilized the unknown region to obtain his item, he had then received a total of 300 billion power credits for himself.
It should be enough!
Meanwhile, the Glittering Gold Sand was already being contented to an inflated 150 billion credits.
It was the highest price point thus far.
The A-tier god weapon auctioned at an insanely inflated price was to capture the interest of the others, and the final mysterious prize was the ultimate surprise factor!
Regardless of the beast deity materials or the Glittering Gold Sand, both were items that had drawn the attention of the crowd.
The contenders had initiated a mad auctioning, but the sky-rocketed price had eliminated those who were lacking funds. While most of them were members from A-tier major clans, there might even be infiltration of hidden members from the Human Alliance.
Finally, the Glittering Gold Sand was auctioned at the price of 162.1 billion power credits.
Although some of the contenders were disappointed, they looked forward more to the next item.
Then, it was Fire Phoenix again who took out the next item.
The appearance of the beast deity crystal core had silenced the entire auction house, the horrifying mighty presence had even oppressed the breathing pace of the crowd.
If anyone were to face such an intimidating presence, perhaps there would not even be any intention to escape!
"Now, the final item for this auction, an A-tier beast deity crystal core, starting at 100 million, the bidding begins now!"
Qin Feng did not hesitate and immediately keyed in his bidding price!
100 billion!
Meanwhile, notification sounds were heard from other spots of the auctioning crowd.
[The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]
[The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]
[The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]
All of them raised their heads and saw that the bidding price was already at 100 billion power credits. As the crowd did not expect anyone to begin the bidding with such a high price, the amount stopped there for several seconds, allowing everyone to see who the bidder was.
1-85!
But soon, the price was raised higher, obviously, the 100 billion price point was still not their baseline!
However, Qin Feng was unwilling to go with the gradual price increase, and he keyed in a higher price again!
200 billion!
Most of the close contenders were then eliminated, as it was highly unlikely for those who were present to have 200 billion available for them.
Meanwhile, those who were in the private rooms were all shocked.
"1-85, who is this person? How could he be so wealthy?"
"Should we compete with him? We do not have much available funds left, if we were to mortgage other items at the end of the auction, the Dusk Dragon Auction will only absorb half of the market price!"
"Damn it, how dare he compete against me, let's see how much he has!"
Each private room was reacting differently, but they all knew that Qin Feng was a formidable opponent!
They then raised the price again!
Qin Feng did not hold back either, the beast deity crystal core was an important item for his future use. Also, with his current capabilities, it was impossible for him to defeat an A-tier beast deity. If Qin Feng were to achieve B9-tier without the beast deity crystal core, he would not be able to push for an instant breakthrough into the deity class.
By that time, how could he still call himself a powerful figure?
Even worse, he would not have the capability to resist against Z!
With that in mind, Qin Feng went all in for it!
"300 billion!"
Meanwhile, other prices that were being keyed in were all rendered useless by Qin Feng.
The spike in amount had come to a pause on the screen, nobody else was bidding anymore!
"Ay, such a rich and imposing person, can't compete against him!"
"Who is this person? Is he here to spoil the market?"
"Could he be related to the Dusk Dragon Auction? However, if he is not, I still cannot afford to bid against the 300 billion!"
All of them had given up.
Although few of them were wealthy enough to carry on, they were afraid of losing to Qin Feng. Furthermore, they felt that the price point was not worth it anymore!
Similar to the Glittering Gold Sand situation, the powerful figures were concerned about having to face the outcome caused by their own whims and fancies. They were afraid to go further with it.
However, Qin Feng was at a different standpoint, being the decision maker for his organization, he was the strongest among other powerful figures. He owned his own wealth, unlike other ancient warrior families or organizations that were structured by their hierarchical classification of elders. Their shares were distributed similarly among those who had contributed their funds.
Qin Feng had absolute authority!
"300 billion, anyone else?"
"300 billion going once!"
"300 billion going twice!"
"300 billion going thrice, congratulations to VIP room 1-85…"
The auction master declared loudly. Meanwhile, the auction had then come to an end, some of the B-tiers began to leave while exclaiming that the world was filled with too many powerful figures.
Wealth was actually in tandem with one's capability!
The A-tiers sat steadily at their places, they were waiting for those who were in Qin Feng's private room.
Fire Phoenix came over again and passed on the item to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng held onto the A-tier beast deity crystal core. Upon examining it, he then passed all of the power credits to Fire Phoenix.
She was even more surprised once she had calculated the total of 450 billion power credits that Qin Feng had used during the auction.
She was initially waiting for Qin Feng to mortgage some of his other items, surprisingly, it was all paid in power credits.
He was insanely wealthy!
Of course, to Qin Feng, he had emptied all of his current assets during the auction.
"Sir, the Dusk Dragon Auction will compliment you with a safe passage for your exit. May I know if you would wish to leave now? Be assured that we will definitely secure your safety!"
"There is no need for that!"
Qin Feng was totally uncomfortable with putting his own safety in the hands of others, and he immediately held onto Bai Li's hand.
Bai Li smiled and said, "We'll make a move now, see you next time, Miss Fire Phoenix!"
With that being said, both of them glittered in an array of silver glow and instantly disappeared from their spot!
Phoenix opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "How could this be?!"
Spatial waymark releases were prohibited within the auction house. The purpose of the restriction was to prevent any sudden activation of spatial passage by any evil aptitude users to bring in a large crowd and overturn the entire Dusk Dragon Auction.
Such an incident had actually happened fifty years earlier, it was considered the strongest siege movement from the Human Alliance toward the Dusk Dragon Auction!
But now, how could both of them just leave under such restrictions?
Not only Fire Phoenix, perhaps even those who were waiting outside would be disappointed!
Chapter 745: Incoming Assassin
It was an incomprehensible moment for Fire Phoenix. She walked out from the private room, and meanwhile, the crowd from the first and other floors were already there, wanting to find out more about the situation.
The general of the Dusk Dragon Auction that appeared earlier was also struck dumb by the appearance of Fire Phoenix and immediately came over.
"What's the matter? Aren't you supposed to bring the client to the secret passage?" The general questioned.
"The client left by himself!" Phoenix was unable to explain any further. "A spatial waymark was used, and…I couldn't understand it!"
The general was also shocked and answered, "Such a powerful figure, he should have his tricks up his sleeves!"
After all, he was a B-tier aptitude user that owned such a great amount of wealth. It was like a bolt out of the blue for the general of the Dusk Dragon Auction. However, being the organizer, they had to uphold their credibility and not strike back at their own clients to hunt them down. Otherwise, the Dusk Dragon Auction would lose all of their reputation!
Regardless of their dark influences, if they were lacking in regulations, it would still be impossible for them to hold the auction on such a massive scale!
Meanwhile, as both of them spoke, some of the others could not hold it in any longer as one of them walked out and asked, "What's happening, the guests from private room 1-85 are still inside? I am waiting to introduce myself, perhaps there might be an opportunity to collaborate in the future!"
The others noticed that the person had breached the subject, and they immediately followed, not allowing the person to conquer the centre stage alone!
"That's right, we are also keen to find out who the powerful figure is. How could one be so wealthy?!"
"There are plenty of opportunities for collaboration!"
"I might have something that would interest them!"
However, greed and bloodlust that were showcased in their eyes were clearly visible and noticeable.
There were still some that frowned and noticed that something unusual had happened, as they had their experiences of bidding for highly priced items and using the secret passage to make an earlier exit.
"Is it empty inside, have they left?"
Fire Phoenix was well aware of their intentions, as Qin Feng had genuinely left, she did not explain much either and nodded directly to affirm!
"That's right, the guests inside have already left, I'm afraid all of you would be disappointed!"
The crowd became extremely irritated and cranky!
"I wonder who the guest was? At least, let us know the name and look!"
Phoenix answered, "My apologies, guests that visit the Dusk Dragon Auction would not be identified by their names. As long as they are willing to pay, the rest is tolerable, as for their looks…I'm afraid I am not allowed to reveal that!"
"Are you not allowed, or you just have no idea what they look like? I do know that it was a pair of male and female, the male was above one hundred and ninety, equipped with a suit of greyish-black combat fatigues and a black fox mask. The female looked even more outstanding with her long silver hair, silver eyes, and a white fox mask! Also, their capabilities were merely B-tier!"
The one who spoke was none other than Liu Hang!
He was struck by a great shock that Qin Feng had spent 300 billion to bid for the beast deity crystal core, and he had to rush over!
When he found out that Qin Feng had already left, he was obviously dissatisfied by it. Hence, he might as well just disclose the news, and if it were to lead to Qin Feng being killed, he would definitely be delighted by it!
When the others heard it, they were already able to briefly recall in their minds. After all, when Qin Feng and Bai Li came, they were coincidently followed by the others. From those brief encounters, they were soon identified by the crowd.
Some of those were still doubtful of the one-sided view. Also, if they had already left, they would just need to make it to the great bridge of the Dark Citadel to exit from the coverage under the space stabilizing device. By then, they would be able to use a spatial waymark to leave the Dark Citadel!
Regardless, they had placed them into their wanted list, and they would definitely kill them if they were to meet them again. With the showcase of wealth that Qin Feng had pulled, he had already set himself to be targeted by many!
Meanwhile, as the crowd dispersed, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already returned to the lodge that they were at before.
Obviously, Qin Feng did not intend to leave, he had to take part in Hell Island and look for Guan Jinhau for the Phantom Motion Steps!
However, the moment Qin Feng returned to the lodge, he took out the Magical Tesseract.
The Verdant Emperor Saber was inserted into it, and Qin Feng carried out another round of enhancement.
The newly bought A-tier beast king material was inserted in!
The original B-tier material was gradually removed as those were items added onto the saber, but Dawnstar and other special materials were obviously irremovable!
Then, Qin Feng injected in A-tier beast emperor material.
Lastly, the A-tier beast deity input!
A gigantic horn was inserted by Qin Feng!
Roar!
A dragon hum channelled out, and the entire Verdant Emperor Saber was no longer the same!
If the saber was previously graded as a B-tier god weapon, now, it has certainly become an A-tier god weapon.
Also, the weapon would definitely be worth more than Guan Jinhau's dagger, at least by several folds.
Qin Feng activated his consciousness and drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber.
By then, there were no external changes that had taken place on the saber, but it had turned into a pitch-black colour. Its flames were no longer fuchsia, and they had been totally transformed into black flames!
The Verdant Emperor Saber was disseminating a terrifying presence into the surroundings.
Qin Feng held onto the saber, and he felt that his internal strength was gushing out. It was because of the insane consumption amount of the A-tier beast deity material!
Fortunately, it was made from the Magical Tesseract to naturally merge Qin Feng's consciousness with it, meaning that it was a god weapon that was specially made for him. If not, it would be extremely taxing to just manoeuvre the saber around!
"Now, the next target will be Guan Jinhau, but I have spent all of my money!"
Qin Feng frowned a little, however, he was not any kind-hearted person either, the worst-case scenario was to defeat Guan Jinhau and just take it from him!
Then, Qin Feng took out the Sacred Water Stone and began activating his consciousness, the stone had then merged with his consciousness.
Runes of the stone were constantly devoured by his dark abilities, fuelling Qin Feng with more and more water runes.
When Qin Feng was about to align the runes and master the water ability, he was alerted by a sudden presence of a murderous aura.
The entrance door was suddenly opened up, and Qin Feng immediately opened his eyes, looking opposite him. A caped person with an unusual shadow had appeared, and a dagger was aiming toward him.
Vroom!
Qin Feng's internal strength shield instantly surged, but surprisingly, it took the attack from the dagger and was instantly shattered!
It was no secret that Qin Feng's internal strength shield was formidable and extremely powerful!
Qin Feng's saber was instantly drawn out, clashing with the dagger!
Dang!
Both of them collided, the dagger was instantly tossed out, including the attacker that was holding it!
After all, the erdant Emperor Saber was embedded with Myriatonnium that enforced it with massive energy, and it was impossible for a dagger to withstand it!
However, the dagger had not suffered any damages. Surprisingly, it had only been tossed aside, one could easily recognize that it was an extraordinary item.
It was an A-tier god weapon!
Also, the dagger looked very familiar!
"Guan Jinhau!" Qin Feng was surprised and set his vision on his target.
It was definitely a favourable encounter for Qin Feng and he did not even put in any effort to achieve the outcome. He had not even started to seek for him, and yet he presented himself, delivering himself to his doorstep!
Chapter 746: Fulfilling the Task Without Killing
Guan Jinhau was struck by Qin Feng's attack and tossed away, he was caught off guard when his name was called out.
He took off his cape and carefully evaluated both of them that were present.
Both of them had already taken off their fox masks, revealing their faces, and they looked surprisingly young.
"You know who I am? Are we close? Just to let you know, I will not kill those who are close to me!" Guan Jinhau mocked with an evil grin from the edge of his lips. However, he was paying close attention to the situation with his eyes, not even loosening up for a bit!
When Guan Jinhau looked at the dagger on hand, it was still experiencing its mad vibration. Although it did not shatter, Guan Jinhau's hand that was holding onto the dagger was trembling.
It was totally unimaginable!
Guan Jinhau was already an A3-tier aptitude user, how could he not win this fight against a B2-tier ancient warrior?
Also, Guan Jinhau was definitely a talented person who had capabilities of an emperor class.
Qin Feng was also an emperor class. However, he was backed by his overwhelming amount of internal strength, an aspect that was competed among the ancient warriors, and the excessive amount of internal strength that Qin Feng had was insanely horrifying!
"You do not know me, but I know who you are!" Qin Feng smiled as he seemed delighted. "Great, I was about to look for you!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Hiring me to kill someone else?"
"No, you have something that I need!" Qin Feng answered.
"What is it?" Guan Jinhau focused his attention and looked at his dagger, was the opponent aiming for his dagger?
It had cost him 130 billion power credits to bid for it!
However, for Guan Jinhau to locate Qin Feng in his own special way, it indicated that he knew Qin Feng was the one who had bought the beast deity crystal core. With the amount of wealth he had, if he wanted the dagger, he could have just bidded for it, why opt for the trouble to look for him?
Of course, eradicating other illegal deeds was widely acceptable by many, including Guan Jinhau.
"Hmm, I am planning to purchase the Spectre Motion Steps from you but I ran out of money. Fortunately, you have come to assassinate me, therefore, against my enemy, I will not show any mercy. Let's take the cultivation method as the offer for your apology!" Qin Feng offered.
"Pft!" Guan Jinhau could not resist his urge to laugh. "Interesting, really interesting, is this my first time seeing someone who dares to speak to me in this way? Surprisingly, my cultivation method only suffices to apologize for my attempt to assassinate you? Who do you think you are? An emperor? A Huaxia Immortal? Hahahaha!"
Guan Jinhau mocked with a sneer and answered, "I am even capable of killing a S-tier!"
Qin Feng nodded, he believed in Guan Jinhau's statement, as he had really assassinated an S-tier!
"I do hope that you will still be able to hold onto such a statement!"
Qin Feng tightened his grip onto the Verdant Emperor Saber, followed by an instant explosion of powerful and imposing aura.
Internal energy surged to a suffocating and horrifying level.
Guan Jinhau noticed that something was not right.
'This person, his internal strength, why is it so powerful, he is merely a B2-tier, why does it feel like it is way beyond the presence of an A-tier?'
Guan Jinhau was puzzled!
However, to an assassin, the next viable move for a failed attempt of assassination would often be an escape. Guan Jinhau had always been careful to set himself a safe perimeter and not go beyond it.
"Haha, you are really good, kid, but I don't think it will be that easy for you to kill me. You do know that I am equipped with Phantom Shift, if I wish to escape, there is absolutely nobody in this world that can stop me!"
Guan Jinhau instantly activated his Phantom Shift and was about to escape!
Meanwhile, Bai Li, who was standing beside Qin Feng but was overshadowed by Qin Feng's massive consciousness, causing Guan Jinhau's to not notice her, was smirking.
"Is that true?" Bai Li winked, and let out a beautiful smile. "In this world, there is also nobody that can escape from my concealed space!"
As the answer echoed in the room where Qin Feng and Bai Li were at, the room was instantly filled with silver runes, followed by its expansion, enclosing the entire space.
Spatial Lockdown!
It was merely an eighty square meter room, even the living room and bedroom were combined into one shared space. After the lockdown, it was impossible for Guan Jinhau to escape!
Guan Jinhau was also struck dumb. He rushed toward the spot that he had entered from earlier, he raised his hand and struck out an array of internal strength attacks!
However, the spatial runes diverted the attacks to other spaces. The only viable method was if the opponent had the capability to tear the space apart, or else, it would still be impossible for anyone to escape from it.
Guan Jinhau finally noticed that the situation had turned for the worst!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng launched his attack from behind.
"Burning Sword Glare!"
Within the limited space, Qin Feng lashed out his Burning Sword Glare and filled the entire room, massive engulfing black flames surged and raged in waves.
"Huh!" Guan Jinhau's eyes widened as he instantly jumped up and trailed the ceiling to move around!
The height of the room was merely three meters, but the Burning Sword Glare that broke out was already beyond that height.
Guan Jinhau forced himself to sustain his internal strength shield!
To any assassin, it was crucial to remain unidentified to carry out their deadliest attack, some would even dismiss their internal strength shield during assassination to conceal their presence.
It was an indication of absolute self-confidence, also like a teeter at the edge of a deadly cliff!
However, the situation had left Guan Jinhau no choice but to do it.
Qin Feng raised his hand and lashed out another explosive sword glare!
Guan Jinhau's internal strength shield was instantly shattered!
It was impossible for Guan Jinhau to sustain his internal strength against Qin Feng's.
However, within the interval time gap, Guan Jinhau made an unexpected move and stormed forward.
"Phantom Shift!"
A stretch of faded shadows appeared in the air, like there were hundreds of duplicated Guan Jinhaus that were aiming to kill Qin Feng from all directions.
The next moment, ringing sounds echoed in the room.
Qin Feng's internal strength shield began to vibrate, and all of a sudden, it shattered!
But it was at that moment, Qin Feng launched another attack.
"Terraform Magma!"
The magma release was not aimed toward the opponent but himself.
All of a sudden, an area of two meters in diameter around Qin Feng was filled with magma, Qin Feng was surrounded by it, but he was not harmed at all!
However, it was quite a horrifying restriction to Guan Jinhau's attacks.
"Kill!" Guan Jinhau was taken over by his bloodlust, internal strength merged into his dagger and was channelled into the magma.
Internal strength repelled on the magma and burst into a magma wave, but Qin Feng did not suffer any injuries at all.
It was at that moment, Guan Jinhau began his movements again. The Phantom Shift had allowed him to fade himself into vague shadows, and he was aiming a kill at Bai Li.
"Die now!"
If Bai Li was dead, the surrounding spatial lockdown would certainly be released, the strategy that Guan Jinhau had in mind was not bad.
The strategy was well thought of, and his movements were also carried out swiftly, but it was still detected by Bai Li!
Bai Li raised her hand, lifted her whip and lashed toward the sky.
All of a sudden, countless numbers of tiny rifts were formed around Bai Li.
Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau had already rushed through them!
Poof poof poof poof poof!
Several spatial rifts were stained with fresh blood that dripped onto the ground!
Guan Jinhau's shadow movements had instantly stopped.
Chapter 747: Guan Jinhau, The Scapegoat
Guan Jinhau was fast. Really fast! However, it was this lightning speed of his that almost killed him.
The man did not have an internal energy shield to protect him. As such, he was taking on these spatial runes with his own body. In other words, there was no way he could break through these.
Thus, his body was cut open.
Fortunately for him, the dimensional rifts did not cause any fatal wounds on him. Still, a piece of skin was sliced off from his scalp; one of his arms was cut and dislocated, leaving only a few threads of flesh and muscles connecting his arms and shoulders; his stomach was pierced while his gut was mostly crushed.
There was another dimensional rift about ten centimeters away from him, dangling right at his throat. If he did not stop in time, it would have definitely beheaded him in a matter of seconds.
"Ugh… Warghh!!"
Guan Jinhau threw out blood briefly before taking out medicines from his pocket dimension and swallowed them down.
He did not dare to move an inch now—there were plenty of spatial runes around him. Qin Feng's saber was already sitting on his shoulder. Due to the saber's powers, his combat suit and armor were already burning wildly. Even his cape was crackling loudly against the wind. This cape was a Sacred Armor tier equipment; and it was now on the verge of breaking down!
"Guan Jinhau. Perhaps you would like to give up the Phantom Shift now?" Qin Feng asked.
Guan Jinhau swallowed his saliva bitterly. "So… you mean… you're not going to kill me?"
After all, they both did not know each other. And right now, if Qin Feng swiped his saber just a little more to the left, Guan Jinhau was as good as dead.
At the same time, Qin Feng did not really think of killing Guan Jinhau. Even though the man was a member of the Dark Coalition, Guan Jinhau had never killed innocent civilians. Many of his prey were high-tiered ability users that were not part of the Huaxia Alliance. Not only that, he was also famous for collecting bounties for the criminals from the Dark Coalition from all over the world.
Therefore, Qin Feng was not going to kill him.
"Come on, man. You know that you don't have a choice though, right?"
Qin Feng added one more sentence and then waited. He wanted Guan Jinhau to decide his own fate.
Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau was struggling with his inner thoughts too. Qin Feng seemed to not be releasing any murderous intent. This meant that he could escape and fight another day. And… he could lie about the training methods of his Phantom Shift, resulting in Qin Feng being crippled from learning the qinggong.
Suddenly, a voice crept into his ears.
"Look at me!"
Instinctively, Guan Jinhau raised his head and saw a pair of eyes staring at him. They seemed so surreal, as though they held an entire galaxy in them. The person's face was as beautiful as a goddess, yet now all that Guan Jinhau could do was stare at that pair of eyes with all his attention and consciousness.
These eyes belonged to Bai Li.
"Tell me the methods in learning and training the Phantom Shift." Bai Li ordered.
Then, Guan Jinhau was startled at what his own body did next—his mouth immediately revealed everything he knew about the Phantom Shift to Qin Feng and Bai Li. At the same time, Qin Feng was listening to and recording the secret techniques of the Phantom Shift. As he was recording, Qin Feng's eyes were widened in joy, like a scientist who had discovered the answer to a problem.
After all, Qin Feng had learned Disorienting Steps before and tried to improve it. However, he was not researching the right way, making it impossible for him to invent his own Phantom Shift.
Right now, Qin Feng finally understood how the Phantom Shift worked. And that was not all… there seemed to be some secret behind this unique qinggong too.
"So, the Phantom Shift can be powered with my Phantom Cape, which could infuse shadowy powers to me that would allow me to hide within the shadows…"
Guan Jinhau was struggling in taking back control of his body as his mouth kept spewing out all of his secrets. If he could, he wanted to bite his tongue and make himself mute forever, but it was too late. He could not imagine just how powerless he would become if Qin Feng were to take his Phantom Cape.
A few moments later, Qin Feng already got whatever he wanted from Guan Jinhau. Not wanting to waste her conscious energy any further, Bai Li let him go. She even disarmed all her dimensional rifts too.
Seeing this, Qin Feng too put away his Verdant Emperor Saber.
"Thank you. You may go now."
Guan Jinhau stared at Qin Feng in disbelief. This man, after learning all the secrets of Phantom Shift, did not seem to be interested in taking his Phantom Cape away from him. Not only that, Qin Feng seemed to be satisfied with just knowing the secrets and techniques behind the Phantom Shift.
Guan Jinhau also felt relieved that he did not decide to lie about the learning and training methods of the Phantom Shift. If not, when this silver-haired lady used her weird powers to force him to tell them everything again, they would know that he was lying. And if that were to happen, he might not be able to walk away alive.
Seeing that Qin Feng and Bai Li indeed were letting him go, Guan Jinhau dashed out without hesitation.
Now that Bai Li had disarmed all her spatial powers, when Guan Jinhau dashed out of the room he could feel several overpowering presences around him—there were A-tiers just outside of the room! And there were hundreds of them!
"What the hell?!" Guan Jinhau blurted out before dashing out even faster than before, ignoring that he was already heavily wounded. Nonetheless, right now the most important thing to him was to escape with everything he could—even if this meant that he could be crippled forever.
"Phantom Shift!!!"
In an instant, Guan Jinhau morphed into dozens of mirror images and dashed toward every direction that a clock arm could point at!
Phantom Shift was a technique that utilized a mix of qinggong and spatial runes. This was what made the Phantom Shift so unparalleled compared to other qinggongs.
"He's out!"
"Kill'em!"
"Stop that piece of sh*t! Don't let him get away with the beast deity's core!"
The A-tiers then began to chase after Guan Jinhau!
"It's not on me! You got the wrong guy!" Guan Jinhau yelled out loudly while trying to run away.
Yet, these people did not believe him. These A-tiers could not see clearly who was the person that ran out; so, they thought that he was Qin Feng. There were only a few keen eyes that could see that it was Guan Jinhau. And… this made matters worse for him.
"That's Guan Jinhau! He's a legendary assassin! So, that young man must be dead by now!"
"Yeah, he's an A-tier assassin. A top-tier killer like him could kill a B-tier ancient warrior without problem!"
"After him! When we catch him, we can divide the loot!"
Thus, the A-tiers were all led away by Guan Jinhau!
Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already teleported to the roof of a random skyscraper and were looking at them from above.
There were a few A-tiers that were wary of what was going on; so, they went into the room to check. Naturally, they could not find Qin Feng there. Thus, they too had joined the chase for Guan Jinhau too.
Of course, Guan Jinhau was not some schmuck that could be caught easily. He knew how to use the S-tier qinggong—"Phantom Shift" after all. As such, he was still able to successfully escape with his life.
"This is great. Guan Jinhau not only gave me his qinggong, he even helped me divert the attention of these hyenas. What a chap!" Qin Feng smiled.
"Teehee! This is what he gets for coming after us. If he did not do this, he would not need to face this fate."
These A-tiers were able to locate Qin Feng and Bai Li earlier—if Guan Jinhau could find them, it would not be difficult for these people of the same tier to do the same. Yet, they were locked out of the Spatial Lockdown as soon as Guan Jinhau attacked the couple. As such, all these A-tiers could do was wait outside of the room.
At the same time, Bai Li knew how many people were waiting outside the room.
This was why Qin Feng was not that surprised to see what happened after letting Guan Jinhau go.
Still, there was one sharp consciousness that was locking onto Qin Feng and Bai Li.
