Chapter 193: The 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox race goes all out!
A few hours later…
The moment the Starlight Auction House spread the news, the entire Main Continent immediately turned upside down as top factions' attention was shifted towards the upcoming auction that might even be one of the biggest auctions in the entire world in recent times.
Inside the main hall of the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demonic Fox Race, the Patriarch was sitting on the throne as he looked at the man who kneeled in front of him.
"Patriarch, there's big news!" The man reported hurriedly as he couldn't contain his excitement after his findings about the news that should've given him a lot of credit.
"What is it?" The patriarch tapped his feet on the floor, feeling curious that someone was this excited, as he thought that this time he might really get something useful that led towards the source of something that made the statue tremble twice.
"The Starlight Auction House, which was a subordinate faction of the Palace of Celestial Light, announced that they would auction 3 blood essence drops of the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline. They claimed that if someone refined it, they would've had a chance to awaken the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline and even immediately awaken to the 1st tail–"
The moment the patriarch heard it, he instantly smashed the armchair as he stood up while slapping it unconsciously.
"Is what you just said true?" The patriarch's eyes lit up, feeling excited since this news was the closest one that could lead to the source of something that made the statue tremble before.
"Yes, patriarch!" The man stood up and nodded his head before explaining it further. "However, if someone failed in awakening the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline, they will undoubtedly be dead."
He then added, "We also have confirmed with the Palace of Celestial Light. They said that the seller was a mysterious man after they talked to the patriarch of the Starlight Auction House. Not only that, the seller also mentioned that if someone from the fox race was the one who refined it, their chance of awakening the bloodline was higher. He also mentioned that if someone from the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox race was the one who refined it, their chance to succeed in awakening the 1st tail was higher depending on their potential, etc."
The patriarch laughed loudly as he appeared in front of the man and patted his shoulder. "Good, good! You've done a great job!"
"Thank you, patriarch!" The man smiled happily, feeling happy that the patriarch praised him because it was extremely rare for the patriarch to praise someone.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot this because it was quite absurd to hear. That man also mentioned that he wouldn't meet anyone before meeting with someone from the 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox race." The man scratched his head, feeling a little bit embarrassed that he almost forgot to mention this.
When the patriarch heard it, he immediately frowned as he looked at the man before thinking about it for a few seconds.
He then shouted loudly as his voice reverberated through the mountain. "Everyone of at least Envoy rank immediately comes to the main hall at once!"
A minute later, every high-level individual had assembled inside the main hall as they were curious about the reason that the patriarch made them come to the main hall this time around.
"Silence!" The patriarch tapped his feet on the floor as his gaze swept the crowd.
"There's big news that you need to hear." The patriarch said before looking at the man who reported the news before.
The man then explained what he had reported to the patriarch, causing the people who attended to become excited as they hadn't expected to hear such news.
As the patriarch watched the crowd that started to make a commotion, he shouted loudly. "Jinyi!"
Suddenly, a man in his early 40s, around 2 meters tall with a jacked body, walked forward and bowed slightly. "Yes, patriarch!"
"You will be the leader of this team this time." The patriarch waved his hand dismissively as if it was nothing, surprising everyone as they knew what it meant by sending Hu Jinyi.
Hu Jinyi was the strongest Guardian Elder and could be said to be the strongest person within the same rank or even the strongest under the Grand Elder.
Not only that, he was also the strongest person within the clan that had awakened until the 3rd tail.
That's why, by sending the strongest Guardian Elder, the patriarch showed exactly that he represented the entire 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox race and their intention this time.
"Qiancai!"
An old man with long white hair walked forward and bowed slightly. "Yes, patriarch!"
"You will assist Jinyi and act according to his instruction." The patriarch looked at the old man before looking towards the envoy who had reported the news. "You will also join them since you're the one who reported the news."
"Thank you, patriarch!" The man bowed as he felt happy that he was included within the team.
This might be the biggest opportunity that he could get, considering the fact that this trip should be safe as there was the Guardian Elder with them and the Formation Hall Master.
"Hehehe… Little Tian, why didn't you include me in this?" An old man's voice could be heard from the entrance of the hall as the huge door suddenly opened, and an old man with a long white beard and hair could be seen walking slowly with the help of a cane.
"Old Lao! Why are you here?" The patriarch was surprised when he saw the old man and immediately appeared in front of him, helping him to walk towards the throne.
When most people from the crowd heard what the patriarch had said, they were shocked as they hadn't expected to see a living legend with their own eyes.
Old Lao was an ancestor that could be said to be the strongest within his generation, that not even the dragon race, phoenix race, and other strongest top factions could underestimate this old man.
