Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Pretty Girl also stood up, as if the earth-shattering eight words had not been spoken by her. She walked slowly towards the exit.

Wang Yan was utterly bewildered; he had not grasped the meaning of those eight words, his gaze somewhat vacant. He must go back and ask his mother, for in such a public setting, according to the rules of the Peacock Demon Clan, women should not be present.

Meanwhile, the auction outside had reached a fever pitch.

There were three parties bidding, each from a separate private room.

"Five million! Five million Tianyu Coins!" the voice of Yuan Yinxin, the girl from the Red Fox Tribe, was already trembling.

Five million Tianyu Coins, this sum was equivalent to the annual revenue of a main city. Not every main city possessed such wealth.

"Five million one hundred thousand!" a deep voice came from one of the private rooms.

"Five million..." Just as another voice from a previously bidding private room began to speak, it abruptly stopped and went silent.

"Guest in room number six, what is your bid?" Yuan Yinxin hurriedly asked.

"We... withdraw..." The somewhat hoarse voice paused for a moment before finally uttering the words to withdraw.

In the private room number six, several elderly individuals with horns on their heads stood respectfully, and before them, a man who looked utterly ordinary, like a common human male, had appeared.

The man\'s gaze swept over them, he silently nodded, and in the next moment, a blue-silver light flashed, and he had appeared in another room.

Similarly, a group of males with horns on their heads, their horns tinged with a faint gold, were hesitating on how to bid when they saw the man appear.

The leader, an elder of the Golden Deer Demon, had an image suddenly surge in his brain. His face, initially flushed with excitement, gradually returned to normal as he nodded silently and spoke out loud to the outside, "We also withdraw."

The blue-silver figure flickered, and the silhouette had once again disappeared without a trace.

"Five million one hundred thousand, is there a higher bid?" Yuan Yinxin said in some amazement.

The three previously competing private rooms were number three, six, and eight. With room numbers six and eight suddenly withdrawing, only the private room number three, which had just offered the high price of five million one hundred thousand, remained.

"This is the last portion of the Seven-colored Deer Demon Emperor Bloodline, there is nothing more precious than this," Yuan Yinxin suddenly blanked out, and these words slipped out subconsciously. In that instant, one could see in the pupils of her eyes, which were vertical, the look of someone who seemed to have lost her soul.

However, rooms number six and eight still emitted no sound whatsoever.

The entire venue was silent. A hush fell over the crowd, everyone waiting for the last moments to arrive.

"Missing this opportunity, there will never again be a Seven-colored Deer Demon Emperor Bloodline. Please choose wisely," Yuan Yinxin spoke again.

Yet, regardless of whether it was room six or eight, still no sound came forth, no new bid was offered.

The price of five million one hundred thousand Tianyu Coins, as if at this moment, became eternal.

In the stands, Zhang Haoxuan couldn\'t help but be a little surprised. The bidding among the three parties had been fierce, unyielding, driving the prices ever higher. The sudden cessation now seemed quite strange.

"Xiao Tang, what do you think? Why did those two suddenly stop bidding?" Zhang Haoxuan asked Tang San at his side.

"It\'s like they had Room No.3 in their calculations," Tang San\'s brow furrowed slightly, also feeling somewhat puzzled.

Without a doubt, the bloodline of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King from earlier had all three bidding parties feeling a sense of determination to win. Among them, there must have been members of the Deer Demon Branch. But did the Deer Demons really have the ability to compete with three parties like this?

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind; someone among the three parties was deliberately driving up the price—it was either Room No.3, No.6, or No.8. At this point, both Room No.6 and No.8 suddenly stopped bidding, which obviously felt like they had set up Room No.3 on purpose. However, it was unclear which party belonged to the Deer Demon Branch.

The auction fell into a stalemate, and Yuan Yinxin did not continue with the auction, simply standing there dumbfounded.

Just then, another cold snort sounded.

Startled, Yuan Yinxin shuddered as if startled awake, and subconsciously said, "Five million one hundred thousand for the first time, five million one hundred thousand Tianyu Coins for the second time, five million one hundred thousand Tianyu Coins for the third time, sold!"

With the final hammer strike, the end of the auction was declared. In an instant, the whole place erupted.

Five million one hundred thousand Tianyu Coins—this must be the highest price in the history of Demon Monster Land. And this record, I fear, will not be broken for a very long time.

Tang San and Zhang Haoxuan stood up together; their goal for today had essentially been achieved, especially for Tang San. It was time to retrieve the auctioned items.

Yet, Tang San always had an odd feeling in his heart; the auction of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s blood didn\'t seem so straightforward. That strange atmosphere at the final moment gave the entire Grand Animal Fighting Arena an oppressive sensation.

The Seven-colored Deer blood was escorted away, and Tang San cast a glance in that direction. Frankly speaking, he was very interested in this blood. After all, it was a top bloodline, and more so one that controlled seven elemental elements. If it could come into his hands, there was so much he could do with this Great Demon King\'s bloodline.

Of course, this clearly wasn\'t something he could covet now, not knowing how many god-level strong were eyeing this bloodline.

It\'s a bit of a pity. If I had already recovered to God-level cultivation base, then I could really try and see if I could get this blood.

The handover went smoothly, but among the items they had acquired, the most troublesome were the eighteen vassals of the Red Fox Tribe humans.

How could these eighteen people be taken through the streets without attracting attention? It would be too conspicuous.

After storing the other auction items in the Storage Pouch and paying the money, they were left with just over two hundred Elemental Coins.

"You go back first, and leave these girls to me. I\'ll settle them in first. Wait for me back at the academy," Zhang Haoxuan said to Tang San.

In his mind, Tang San\'s safety was of utmost importance now; it was safest for him to return to the academy first.

"Alright," Tang San agreed with a nod and did not linger any longer, quickly leaving the Grand Animal Fighting Arena with the mask still covering his face.

The oppressive atmosphere from before in the arena made him feel uncomfortable; it was clearly a standoff between god-level strong. He had no desire to be involved in a God-level strong affair—safety was the priority.

After leaving the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, the oppressive feeling lightened significantly, and Tang San heaved a sigh of relief. The Heavenly Fox Eye did not give him any sense of danger, and he made his way through the streets, hastening back to Redemption Academy.

Just as he arrived near Jiali Academy and was about to start climbing up the mountain, suddenly, a figure not far ahead caught his attention. Tang San had already taken off his mask by now, and he had changed back into the Jiali Academy staff uniform, looking as ordinary as ever.

Yet, when he saw this familiar figure, he could only stop in his tracks.

"It really is you!" A pleasant voice rang out, and the person turned around—it was none other than Pretty Girl, whom he had not seen much of recently.

Tang San was momentarily stunned, "What are you talking about?"

Pretty Girl replied indifferently, "I\'ve been following you all the way back. No need to play dumb."
