Chapter 0771: Ungratefulness

In fact, even before the appraiser announced the result, the gods already knew it.
Yet, upon hearing the appraiser’s announcement, they were once again shocked.
It was a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure offensive artifact, one that contained a powerful ancient Tianfeng artifact spirit!
Some god-tier powerhouses felt dizzy even just looking at the immortal sword on the auction stage.
Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure offensive artifacts were things that even the heads of smaller families or their ancestors could hardly see, let alone touch. Yet now, one such artifact was right before their eyes!
The appraiser retracted his divine power, the artifact spirit disappeared, and he suppressed his excitement before turning to hand the top-grade immortal sword back to the host.
The host, also stunned like the other gods, hurriedly took it, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. His mood was completely different from when he first picked up the sword.
The host felt his hands as heavy as millions of pounds, slowing his movements. Taking a deep breath, he placed the sword back on the auction stage. Though reluctant, he knew he still had to continue hosting the auction.
“As everyone has seen, this sword’s offensive power is immense. Master Waji has confirmed that it is a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure offensive artifact!” The host announced the result again, trying to suppress his excitement.
“Then, who else is willing to bid for this Stone Essence?!” he continued.
But the host knew such a question was unnecessary.
After all, no one could possibly offer something more precious than this Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure offensive artifact with an ancient Tianfeng artifact spirit!
Silence fell over the venue after his words. No one bid, and all the gods continued to stare at the top-grade immortal sword on the auction stage.
For them, even if they couldn’t possess it, taking one last look was worth it—making the trip to this auction worthwhile.
In the VIP room, Wei Lie stared at the top-grade immortal sword on the auction stage with mixed emotions. Originally, according to his plan, he intended to bid for the Stone Essence. If he obtained it, the Naisi family, which needed it, would surely come to him, giving him the chance to learn more about them!
To be precise, he wanted to uncover the true purpose behind the need for thirty-plus types of materials for the Stone Essence from Naisi Family’s Luos.
But now, things were out of his control.
Meanwhile, in another VIP room at the auction site, Hashen, an elder from the Maide family who was auctioning the Stone Essence for the Tuofengming Merchant Group, was in a state of turmoil. He never expected anyone to bid for his Stone Essence with a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure offensive artifact. Feelings of surprise, joy, and worry surged within him.

He knew that possessing such a precious item could bring trouble. Such a valuable treasure would surely arouse the greed of powerful gods and kings, and with the Meide family’s strength, they would definitely not be able to protect it—perhaps even the Meide family might disappear from the Hongmeng Realm as a result! Hassen’s expression shifted constantly. “Then, since no one else is bidding for this stone essence, according to the previous rules, it belongs to Lord Lus of the Nais family!” At that moment, the host’s voice rang out. His voice was filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and respect. On the auction stage, two attendants from the Tianfeng clan lifted the stone essence and walked toward Huang Long and his group. The gods realized what was happening and turned to look at Lus, but many powerful clan members stared at him with strange expressions. After all, it was the first time they had seen someone like Lus make such a “stupid” move—using a Hongmeng spiritual treasure, an attack artifact imbued with the spirit of a condenser, to bid on a stone essence. Of course, while thinking of Lus as foolish, they were also puzzled about how the Nais family had obtained this Hongmeng spiritual treasure, an attack artifact! After the two attendants from the Tianfeng clan placed the stone essence in front of Huang Long and his group, they bowed to them before returning to the auction stage, showing utmost respect. Lus ignored the strange looks from everyone around him. With a wave of his hand, he stored the stone essence in his spatial artifact. Only after doing so did he breathe a sigh of relief. Before coming here, Huang Long had given him two top-quality immortal swords and asked him to bid for this stone essence. Although Lus thought there shouldn’t be any problems, he still felt uneasy during the bidding. Now, he had finally completed his master’s task! And in his spatial artifact, there was another immortal sword. After the stone essence was auctioned off, the auction continued, but obviously, the powerful clans present no longer had the interest to bid on the following items. They seemed distracted, occasionally glancing at the Nais family’s side. However, to the disappointment of those powerful clans, the Nais family did not participate in bidding on anything else. Due to the appearance of this Hongmeng spiritual treasure, an attack artifact, no matter how the host introduced the next items for auction, he could no longer liven up the atmosphere. Thus, the subsequent auctions dragged on. When the auction finally ended, the host even felt relieved. But just as Huang Long and his group stepped out of the auction hall and were about to leave the front hall of the Fengming Merchant Guild, they were stopped. Those who stopped them were the same members of the Tianfeng clan who had followed Wei Lie a few days ago, along with several senior attendants from the Fengming Merchant Guild.

“Everyone, what does this mean?!” Luus said in a low voice.
The Yellow Dragon clan members remained silent, staring coldly at Fire Yang and the others.
A thin-faced young man from the Sky Phoenix clan spoke arrogantly, “There’s no other reason. Our lord wants to see you. Come with me!” His tone was condescending, as if it were an honor for the Yellow Dragon clan to go meet that lord.
It wasn’t even a request—the tone made it seem like the Yellow Dragon clan had no choice but to agree.
Luus sneered, “Oh, your lord? I wonder who your lord is. Sorry, we don’t know any of your lords. Please move aside!”
The thin-faced young man’s expression froze, turning ugly.
Luus dared to resist?!
They were dressed as members of the Sky Phoenix clan, yet Luus claimed not to know their lord—clearly lying.
“How dare you! It’s a great honor for us that our lord wants to see you—something many people can’t even get. How ungrateful you are!” the thin-faced young man shouted angrily.
Although he was a supreme god, he didn’t take Luus seriously. So what if he was a supreme god or the clan’s ancestor? This was territory of the Sky Phoenix clan, and he was a direct descendant. How dare the other side even think of attacking?
“Oh, so if we don’t go, you’ll attack us?” Huang Long sneered at that moment.
“You!” the thin-faced young man glared angrily.
By now, the descendants of various powerful families passing by in the front hall had noticed what was happening and stopped to watch.
Luus snorted coldly. The Sky Phoenix clan members recoiled as if struck hard. Huang Long and his group stepped forward, and the Sky Phoenix clan members reluctantly stepped aside, watching helplessly as they left.
