Chapter 869: The Terrifying Mu Residence Lord
"Damn it, he tricked me again!" Guihai Tianxing said furiously.
"Hmph, this guy is too cunning. Young Master Guihai, we can't let this go easily. We must make him understand the consequences of angering you." Liu Wenshan also said angrily.
"What do you suggest we do then?" Guihai Tianxing was at his wit's end.
He had been duped by Xu Nian so many times in bidding that he couldn't tell if Xu Nian truly wanted the auction item or was just baiting him.
So now, he dared not compete with Xu Nian anymore.
But if he didn't compete on the auction items, how could he target Xu Nian?
"Young Master Guihai, don't worry. No matter how cunning he is, he has to leave Tianbao Pavilion and Tianbao City eventually. As long as we have someone keep a close watch on him, we can kill him as soon as he leaves. Then let's see how arrogant he can still be?" Liu Wenshan suggested.
Hearing this, Guihai Tianxing's eyes also filled with a strong killing intent.
"Young Master, this young man named Xu Nian is not simple. He might not be easy to deal with." An elder behind Guihai Tianxing reminded.
From what he had seen just now, he could tell this Xu Nian was not ordinary.
So young, yet with such deep scheming—he must have been tempered by life-and-death experiences.
Although their young master's cultivation was not bad, he still had some distance to go against such a talented person with such experiences.
"Elder Yann, you don't need to worry. That guy is just a Top-Grade Refiner, his strength is only at the Early Stage Cave Void. Killing him is easy. Besides, isn't Elder Yann here in case of any unexpected situations?" Guihai Tianxing smiled.
Elder Yann was helpless but inwardly somewhat worried.
He knew that his young master's decisions were hard to change.
But he also believed that this young man should not be easily provoked.
Because this youth gave him the feeling of a wolf—a very fierce wolf.
Just give him an opportunity, and he would bite hard.
Ripping through flesh and bone, leaving one severely wounded.
He had lived for nearly a thousand years and was sure his judgment of people wouldn't be wrong.
"Forget it. When the time comes, I'll keep an eye on the young master. As long as he doesn't die, that guy won't dare touch the Guihai Family." Yann Hui murmured to himself.
He had been a servant to the Guihai Family for hundreds of years and had watched the current head of the family grow up.
Their bond was deep.
Therefore, even if it cost him his life, he would protect the descendants of the Guihai Family.
Guihai Tianxing, however, didn't think that far. He just wanted to kill Xu Nian as soon as possible.
"Next, we will enter the second phase of our auction. The value of the items in this phase will be much higher than those in the first phase, so everyone, please pay close attention and don't miss out on the treasures you desire," Mei Ji said with a smile.
"The second phase? Does that mean the highlight items are still to come?" The crowd around was surprised.
Even the first phase's auction items had astonished them.
Now there was still a second phase of items.
"Miss Mei Ji, does the second phase include your first night? If so, I'll bid any amount of Spirit Stones," a bold voice from the crowd teased Mei Ji.
His words caused the male cultivators around to burst into laughter.
Each one looked at Mei Ji with naked desire to conquer in their eyes.
Mei Ji didn't get angry, just smiled lightly and said, "If you want my first night, go ahead, as long as you're not afraid of the Mu Residence Lord, I'll dare to give it to you."
At the mention of the Mu Residence Lord, the man who had teased her immediately turned pale.
His face ashen, he steeled his gaze and directly chopped off one of his own arms.
The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded but understood that the man had no choice.
In the private box, Xu Nian was also surprised.
"Long Tian'er, who is this Mu Residence Lord? How can he be so fearsome?" Xu Nian asked.
The man had cut off his own arm, obviously to atone for his earlier recklessness.
But this made Xu Nian even more curious, what kind of person could make a cultivator so frightened?
"Sir, you may not know, but the Mu Residence is the most mysterious and terrifying force in our Taiheng Star System. This power stands equal even against the mighty Tianbao Pavilion. The reason for its fearsome reputation is one person: the Mu Residence Lord. His strength is top-tier even among Earth Immortals," Long Tian'er explained.
"So powerful? How does the Guihai Family compare to the Mu Residence Lord?" Xu Nian asked.
"There's no comparison. The Mu Residence Lord could wipe out the Guihai Family with just a word. Moreover, Mei Ji is the woman the Mu Residence Lord fancies, so that cultivator was that scared." Long Tian'er sighed in admiration.
Just mentioning the Mu Residence Lord felt like a mountain pressing down on her, making her instinctively fearful.
Xu Nian was also amazed; the Guihai Family, which ruled a clan, was nothing before the Mu Residence Lord.
Just a word from him.
How strong could this Mu Residence Lord be?
"Damn, that old man Wentian wanted me to sleep with Mei Ji, isn't that courting death? But if the Mu Residence Lord is so powerful, then why is Mei Ji still a virgin?" Xu Nian thought to himself.
He trusted the Wentian Demon Sovereign's instincts.
If he said Mei Ji was a virgin, she had to be.
The crowd was shocked, and Mei Ji coldly smiled.
Toward these men who lusted after her body but lacked the courage, she felt no pity at all.
"Alright, there are only three items in the second phase, but none will disappoint anyone. Let's welcome the first item," Mei Ji announced.
As soon as her words fell, a powerful roar of a beast echoed through the pavilion.
The roar shook the entire Tianbao Pavilion.
The crowd was astonished.
They saw three cultivators carrying a two-meter-high iron cage.
Inside the cage was a terrifying young lion.
The young lion was two meters long and covered in golden fur.
Its eyes shone like blue ice crystals.
Each roar carried a regal power that made hearts tremble.
Baring its sharp fangs, it roared at the crowd.
But each attempt to break out of the cage was thwarted by the lightning-infused bars that zapped it back.
"Is that the Blue Gold Winged Lion King?" The crowd immediately recognized the fearsome lion, showing shock.
Xu Nian was also surprised.
The Blue Gold Winged Lion King was an incredibly rare Demon Beast, a descendant of a Top-Grade Divine Beast.
It appeared only once in millions of planets.
And its strength was undoubtedly formidable.
Once fully grown, it would be an immense force.
Yet the Tianbao Pavilion had captured this beast alive.
And now they were auctioning it?
