Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1973: Chapter 1972: Su Han’s Fury!

”Hmph!”

Hearing that kind of bid, and Su Han’s extremely impatient tone, this time even the elder of the Zheng Family couldn’t help letting out a cold snort.

”Zheng Family, five hundred and ten billion!”

”Wang Family, five hundred and twenty billion!”

”Liu Family, five hundred and thirty billion!”

They spoke up again, but families like the Han Family, the Wu Family and the other second‑tier powers on Tianlin Star had already fallen silent and stopped speaking.

They had obviously given up!

But the Three Great Families still had fantasies about this Luck Suppression Pearl. Even though it had already gone beyond what they could bear, and exceeded it by more than a hundred billion, they still didn’t want to give up.

The scene was actually a bit amusing.

At an auction hosted by the Three Great Families, someone was actually competing against them.

”You all said before that four hundred billion was the limit, and now you’ve shouted it up to five hundred and thirty billion.”

Su Han smiled and shook his head. ”But since everyone likes this kind of bidding war, I’m happy to keep you company. Let me raise it another seventy billion for you—six hundred billion. What do you all think of that price?”

No one spoke.

When it came to bidding, they really weren’t as bold as Su Han.

Six hundred billion had utterly and completely gone beyond their limit.

They wouldn’t follow anymore.

”Hoo...”

Zheng Tianhui let out a deep breath, and at some unknown point a wooden gavel had appeared in his hand.

”Six hundred billion Spirit Crystals. Is there anyone still willing to continue bidding?”

”Six hundred billion Spirit Crystals, first call...”

”Six hundred billion Spirit Crystals, second call...”

”Six hundred billion Spirit Crystals, third call!”

”Bang!”

The gavel suddenly fell, letting out a dull thud.

Even though he was from the Zheng Family, Zheng Tianhui was still the host of this Luck Suppression Pearl auction. Whoever shouted the highest price, the Luck Suppression Pearl should go to them.

”Congratulations to number tw—”

He was about to continue, but as if someone had sent him a voice transmission, the words at his lips abruptly stopped.

Su Han’s brows didn’t even furrow.

He only saw Zheng Tianhui standing there, his expression shifting from moment to moment, clouds and sunshine alternating.

And in the auction hall, bursts of discussion were also ringing out at this moment.

”What’s going on? What happened?”

”Could it be that at this critical moment, the Three Great Families have gone back on their word?”

”They shouldn’t. With the reputation of the Three Great Families, they wouldn’t do something like that!”

”Heh, that’s not certain. If there’s really something that moves the Three Great Families that much, with their overbearing nature, it wouldn’t be strange for them to pull something like this.”

”At any auction, the rule is that when the gavel falls, the result is decided. That’s what ’a hammer settles the deal’ means!”

”Rules are dead, but people are alive...”

...

After a full half a long time, Su Han narrowed his eyes, a bit impatiently saying, ”Since the gavel has already fallen, then this Luck Suppression Pearl should be brought over to me, shouldn’t it? Or are the Three Great Families afraid I don’t have that many Spirit Crystals?”

Zheng Tianhui didn’t reply, as if he were sending voice transmissions to others, discussing something.

”Damn it!”

Inside the private box, Ling Xiao’s face was gloomy. ”If I’m not mistaken, the Three Great Families really are planning to go back on the deal!”

”How can they do that? It’s clearly an auction. If they can’t afford it then don’t buy it. Besides, this Luck Suppression Pearl first passed through their hands. They obviously wanted it very much, yet they didn’t keep it for themselves and just had to bring it to the auction. Now that they can’t afford it, they’re pulling this stunt. Isn’t that just lifting a rock to smash their own feet?” Ye Xiaofei muttered as well.

”They probably never thought that at this auction, someone would actually be able to pay such a high price!” Ling Xiao snorted coldly.

What he said was not wrong at all; it was completely the truth.

The Three Great Families looked harmonious on the surface, but in reality they were fighting and competing in secret all the time; friction was common.

This Luck Suppression Pearl had indeed been brought to the auction by a Loose Cultivator.

If only one family wanted it, that would be fine. They’d just offer a price high enough to move that Loose Cultivator’s heart, and there’d be no need to put the Luck Suppression Pearl up at auction at all.

But all three of the Great Families wanted it; none of them were willing to give it up!

On top of that, that Loose Cultivator insisted on selling the Luck Suppression Pearl through the auction, believing that only that way could the Luck Suppression Pearl’s value be fully realized, and he himself could gain the greatest profit.

Helplessly, they could only put the Luck Suppression Pearl up for auction.

But in their imagination, apart from some powers from Tianlin Star, most of those attending this auction would be Loose Cultivators.

The wealth in a Loose Cultivator’s hands definitely wouldn’t be enough to buy this Luck Suppression Pearl.

As for the other powers...

With the Three Great Families covering the sky with one hand, for example the Wu Family, the Han Family— even if those forces could afford this Luck Suppression Pearl, if the Three Great Families spoke up together, would they still dare to buy?

So, taking everything into account, the Three Great Families felt that absolutely no one could pose a threat to them!

Even if the Luck Suppression Pearl was put up at auction, in the end, the only ones truly competing for it would be their three families.

But who would have thought...

Someone who really didn’t know what was good for him had actually shown up!

The Three Great Families had already spoken together, saying they could owe this person a favor, and had clearly stated they would not allow the enraged Wu Family to hunt him down.

Moreover, this person was only a Fourth Grade Void Sky Realm.

With so many conditions, what no one expected was that this blind fool still insisted on competing with them!

The Luck Suppression Pearl was something the Three Great Families absolutely could not just watch fall into someone else’s hands, so at the last moment they voice‑transmitted Zheng Tianhui.

...

Su Han’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within.

He stared fixedly at that Luck Suppression Pearl, as if he could see through the outer layer to the Supreme Treasure Pearl hidden within.

There was only one chance. If he missed it, who knew what circumstances he’d face if he wanted to obtain it again in the future.

”Have you finished your discussion?”

Another five minutes passed, and Su Han’s tone was no longer so impatient; instead, it became somewhat calm.

As if receiving some order, Zheng Tianhui hesitated slightly, then raised his head to look toward the second box, and let out a sigh.

”Honored guest in Box Two, thank you for all the Contribution you’ve made to the Three Great Families in this auction, but I, Zheng, still have to offer you an apology...”

”Whoosh!”

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly exploded.

They were really going back on it?

They had never reneged before. Though extremely overbearing, at auctions the Three Great Families had always based themselves on their reputation...

And now they were actually going back on their word?!

Feeling the noisy clamor coming from all around, Zheng Tianhui also felt some pressure in his heart.

This was the first time, after all!

But with the heads of the Three Great Families sending him voice transmissions together, Zheng Tianhui still continued, ”The price of this Luck Suppression Pearl has not reached the psychological reserve price of the Three Great Families, so...”

Su Han suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and with a bang, the glass in front of his box shattered into powder!

That figure in white, with refined features, at this moment for the first time was revealed before everyone’s eyes!

”What are you doing, sir?”

Seeing the glass directly blown apart, Zheng Tianhui’s expression immediately changed.

Su Han’s expression was icy. He stretched out his right hand and pointed straight at Zheng Tianhui!

”I’ve waited here a full day. From start to finish, the auction for this Luck Suppression Pearl has gone on until now, for a full hour!”

”A price of six hundred billion Spirit Crystals to buy this Luck Suppression Pearl is absolutely more than enough!”

”And now you’re telling me...”

”That it hasn’t reached that bullshit psychological reserve price?!”
