Chapter 427: 426
As a token of the most powerful Great Demon Emperor of the present age, who would not show respect? There were only a few Crystal Mirrors from the Crystal Great Demon Emperor in existence. Whoever held one was considered a favored one of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, and to a certain extent, could represent the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. Moreover, who understood who Tang San was? With the Crystal Mirror in his hand, who would dare to challenge him and risk offending the Crystal Great Demon Emperor?
Didn\'t you see that yesterday during the spiritual item auction, when the Crystal Great Demon Emperor made an appearance, the two Emperors who were competing both maintained their silence. Even the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox only appeared after the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had left, right? This top-ranked Great Demon Emperor was indeed an absolute authority among his peers.
Tang San was not worried about how the Crystal Great Demon Emperor would treat him. He understood that with the status of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, it was impossible for him not to have noticed Tang San\'s presence in the auction. Since he did not come to seek him out, nor demanded Jingjing or did anything to him, it meant that at least for now, he was safe. Anyway, he had likely already become a pawn of his; why not make good use of it?
He quickly descended the mountain, inquired with the staff, and went straight to the checkout.
He needed to leave immediately, partly for Pretty Girl and now also to quickly take these valuable items he had bought back to a safe place.
When it comes to bidding in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, the settlement location was in a waiting area within the arena itself.
It was rare for bidders to leave before the Divine Object auction ended. After all, even if one couldn\'t afford a Divine Object, it was still good to watch and learn. Thus, when Tang San arrived, there were no other bidders leaving.
He declared his intention and showed his bidder\'s card.
After the staff checked his card and compared it with the items he had won, the way they looked at Tang San immediately changed. And at this moment, an acquaintance had already arrived.
"Xu… Brother, you\'re leaving already?" Xu Ziran did not call out Tang San\'s full name. In the auction, protecting one\'s privacy was very important.
Tang San nodded and said, "Yes! I am serving the master, and now that I have bought what the master wanted, I should be leaving."
Xu Ziran passed a ring to Tang San. The ring was of a dark silver color with a simple style, and a yellow crystal-like gemstone was embedded on it.
"Everything is inside. You can just settle the account with them. We truly owe the master a lot this time. We must strengthen our cooperation in the future. After you take the items, will you continue to stay in the Ancestral Court or return to Jiali City?"
Tang San replied, "I will stay in the Ancestral Court for a few more days, probably a week before returning to Jiali City. What about you, Brother Xu? Are you going back or…?"
Xu Ziran said, "I will be in the Ancestral Court for some time. I\'ll contact you after I return to Jiali City. We\'ll get together then. If the master needs anything, you can directly go to the trade association or the Animal Fighting Arena to find the owner. We have been acquiring various blood essences recently, and we will report back to the master once we have achieved something."
Tang San smiled and said, "Brother Xu is too kind. Then I will proceed with the payment and prepare to leave."
Xu Ziran\'s eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Alright, I will be going back then; I have to continue attending the auction tomorrow. Take care, brother."
Tang San\'s remark just now clearly meant he was sending the guest away; he did not want him to see what he was buying.
Xu Ziran left, and Tang San began paying for the auctioned items. It was indeed a significant amount of money! Whether it was the Fox Tail Relic or the "Stone of Delay," both were highly valuable.
"The quantity has been verified, and there are no issues. However, you\'ll need to wait a moment. There is one item for which you need direct communication with the other party. You knew that, right?" The staff member accepted the payment and handed over the items to Tang San.
While paying, Tang San noticed that the storage ring Xu Ziran gave him was many times more powerful than his Storage Bracelet. It had a storage space of one hundred square meters. Xu Ziran didn\'t even mention how much it was worth; it was obviously a gift to him. Without several hundred Elemental Coins, one absolutely couldn\'t buy a space storage item of this level. It was clearly a tactic to win him over. After confirming that the Array Master could bring huge profits to the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce House in the future, Xu Ziran had already begun investing in Tang San, as he was the only spokesperson designated by the master.
All other items had already been placed into the storage ring, including the Time-space marker. It was truly a challenge to store it, taking over ten minutes to slowly absorb it into the storage ring. It would also require a significant amount of time to retrieve it in the future. Moreover, with this item inside the storage ring, any retrieval of items from it would be slowed down by its influence. But he managed to secure it at last.
If there was anything among the auctioned items that excited Tang San the most, the Time-space marker was definitely at the top of the list. It was an object of cosmic importance, and only the powers of this realm failed to recognize its value. With this item, if used well, Tang San\'s ability to protect himself would greatly increase.
As for the trade that required waiting for the other party, it naturally wasn\'t with the last bidder, the Ice Maiden Clan\'s patriarch, but with the consigner of the God-killing Sword.
He didn\'t have to wait long before the powerful Demon King of the Golden Lion Clan, who had acted as the auctioneer during the auction, strode into the room.
"Where\'s the bidder? Where is number three three six?" As it entered, its deep voice filled the air with a vibrating sensation.
The staff member immediately pointed to Tang San, "This is him."
"You\'re number three three six?" The Golden Lion Demon King\'s gaze suddenly shifted.
"Correct," Tang San replied calmly with a nod.
The Golden Lion Demon King\'s hair moved as if blown by an unseen wind, its aura skyrocketed instantly, and its hot bloodline aura seemed on the verge of boiling, its powerful presence possessing a terrifying pressure that seemed to choose its victims.
It was at this moment that a platinum light burst forth from Tang San, enveloping him in a blazing radiance that cast a divine aura around him, resisting the immense oppressive force of the Golden Lion Demon King.
The Golden Lion Demon King was taken aback. The platinum flame on Tang San, that bloodline aura which it found strangely familiar yet somewhat alien.
"I am bidding on behalf of my companion. They are your true descendants, while I am a human. Yet, we share a mutated common bloodline, derived from the mutated power of the Golden Holy Fire, a first-level Bloodline. Is this sufficient qualification to bid for the God-killing Sword?" As he spoke, Tang San took out the "tiger skin" he had displayed earlier, along with another "tiger skin."
"Crystal Order, Sword Saint Order, recognized by both orders?" The Golden Lion Demon King\'s oppressive aura and the furious look in its eyes vanished upon seeing these two items, and it stared at Tang San in astonishment.
Tang San also retracted the aura of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, "I\'m unaware of the opponent you will face in the future. However, a mutated first-level Bloodline should provide a sufficient opportunity, I believe. That\'s what you require. I can leave this Sword Saint Order with you. In no less than seven days, but no more than fifteen, I will come to pay my respects."
The Golden Lion Demon King gazed at Tang San intently, reminiscing the previous aura of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang that had emanated from him. It was indeed the scent of the Golden Fire from the Golden Lion Clan, both rich and slightly different.
