Chapter 2265: Chapter 2265: An Unexpected Incident!

Opening his mouth, the bid doubled instantly.

But before everyone could recover from the shock, they heard successive bidding voices.

The price shot up like a rocket.

Such terrifying prices made all previous items look dull in comparison.

From the start, this auction had nothing to do with the lower three levels.

The cultivators on the lower three levels stared in shock at the celestial battle above as if reading an incomprehensible book.

As for Zhou Yu, after experiencing initial surprise, he had now restored his calm.

He did not partake in the bidding.

Although the origins of this white beast were significant and its potential limitless,

Zhou Yu was deeply knowledgeable in the cultivation of spiritual insects.

Putting aside other matters, just speaking about his Fire-eyed Flying Ants,

their talent was leagues inferior to this white beast.

Yet, even so, nurturing them was extremely challenging.

Up to now, he had invested numerous spiritual medicines and spirit grass, and the Fire-Eyed Ant King barely reached the fifth rank.

It was imaginable how much resources it would take to raise this white beast to its mature stage.

Such a task undoubtedly required a vast power to accomplish.

It was nearly impossible for an individual.

Besides, Zhou Yu also had a Purple Tiger.

The Purple Tiger most likely possessed Qilin blood; its talent was no less than, possibly even greater than, this white beast.

Therefore, Zhou Yu wasn’t particularly interested in the white beast.

Eventually, this white beast was bid for a sky-high price of six hundred fifty million by an elder on the first level.

With Xiao Longhe’s final call, the auction for the white beast formally ended.

Xiao Longhe spoke to the elder on the first level:

"Congratulations, Brother Lu, on acquiring this exotic treasure."

Upon hearing this, an elder with graying hair, standing about two zhang tall and looking quite peculiar, stood up on the first level.

Immediately, his figure flashed onto the high platform.

Xiao Longhe treated this person with great respect, revealing faint traces of reverence.

The elder laughed heartily, eyeing the white beast fervently.

Afterward, he tossed a storage bag to Xiao Longhe.

Xiao Longhe checked it and smiled, saying,

"Great, all is in order."

"Brother Lu can take the beast now."

Without modesty, the elder used a golden bracelet to store the white beast directly.

However, as the white beast was being stored, it suddenly emitted a sharp cry.

Then, incredibly, it began to struggle again.

In the next instant, the golden chains on its body showed signs of breaking free.

Seeing this, the elder snorted coldly.

"Wretched beast, you still wish to struggle?"

He raised his hand and pointed.

A blue spiritual light instantly struck the white beast.

The white beast let out a pained cry.

Afterward, it lost the strength to struggle, its expression turning weary.

Witnessing this, the elder sneered,

"You wouldn’t understand my prowess without some pain."

After speaking, he attempted to collect the white beast again.

However, just then.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion echoed from outside.

The next moment, a powerful tremor surged forth.

Everyone in the auction hall swayed, and those with lower cultivation had their blood churned, spitting blood directly.

Simultaneously, the formation surrounding the auction hall began to flash crazily, operating at full speed.

This sudden anomaly filled faces with shock.

What is this situation?

Could someone be forcing their way into the auction?

...Is that possible?

So many Integration Realm experts are here; has someone gone mad?

While everyone was in shock, another explosion resounded.

The formation barrier around the auction hall cracked like glass, instantly forming countless fissures, then shattered entirely.

At that moment, Xiao Longhe looked alarmed and furious.

He shouted aloud:

"Do not panic, everyone!"

"Today, the auction is hosted jointly by our Eight Great Clans."

"No matter who disrupts this, they shall not leave alive."

With the end of these words, the auction hall’s doors exploded.

Suddenly, a robust figure stormed in.

Alongside, accompanied by a cold voice.

"What splendid Eight Great Clans."

"Today, I shall see how many experts your Eight Great Clans can provide for my slaughter."

In an instant, all gazes turned to this figure.

Revealing a man clad in Xuanqing battle armor.

From his appearance, he didn’t seem too different from the Human Race.

But the murderous aura he emitted suffocated all present.

Such terrifying aura made even Xiao Longhe, an Integration Realm powerhouse, feel overwhelmingly suppressed.

At that point, hundreds to thousands of divine thought auras probed this person, yet he simply snorted coldly.

In an instant, at least a thousand people in the auction hall spewed blood simultaneously, some even fainted directly.

Even those who did not faint were pale-faced and severely injured.

This single move made Xiao Longhe’s expression grow extremely grim.

Now, Xiao Longhe stared fixedly at this person.

"You don’t appear to be from our Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans!"

"Who exactly are you?"

"How did you break into Black Cloud City?"

Xiao Longhe didn’t attack immediately; instead, he shouted sternly, but the fear inside was evident.

Yet that person ignored Xiao Longhe and looked up, speaking coldly,

"Brother Fei, why?"

"What do you have to say now?"

Upon hearing this, a sigh came from behind him.

Then, another person walked in.

Seeing this person instantly, Xiao Longhe on the high platform displayed an expression of surprise.

Immediately, he flew down to this person and respectfully said,

"Elder Fei, why have you come?"

Meanwhile, numerous significant figures from the first and second levels approached Xiao Longhe, bowing collectively,

"Elder Fei!"

At this point, Zhou Yu in the distant crowd also displayed an expression of surprise.

The man in Xuanqing armor was unfathomable in aura.

But this newly arrived Elder Fei was equally enigmatic.

Moreover, it seemed this esteemed Elder Fei had an exalted position in Black Cloud City, with so many Integration Realm experts showing such respect.

Who exactly is this person?

While Zhou Yu pondered in surprise, Elder Fei coldly snorted, staring at Xiao Longhe.

"Xiao Longhe, how bold of you to dare harm the descendant of Daoist Tu; quickly kneel and apologize to Daoist Tu!"
