Chapter 262 - Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Intentional Obstruction

Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Intentional Obstruction Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Intentional Obstruction A calm voice rang out, and the entire venue fell silent.

Time seemed to stand still as everyone’s expressions of disbelief turned toward the source of the voice.

Mu Caiyi’s astonished face also couldn’t help but look toward the second floor.

Someone actually bid five billion!

Someone dared to compete with the Xiao family in bidding!

Who has such audacity? To challenge the Xiao family in bidding, do they not value their life?

Xiao Ran had raised his bid by two billion in one breath, making it clear he was determined to win the Storage Ring. Other powerful forces had to temporarily avoid his edge, not to mention those major families and powers on the second floor.

Now someone actually placed a bid, and even shouted out an astronomical price of five billion, were they planning to confront the Xiao family directly?

Xiao Ran frowned slightly. He also couldn’t believe that someone would compete with the Xiao family at this time, and they also raised the bid by two billion in one go.

The man bidding from the second-floor private box had a calm voice, and his intrusion was sudden; no one could tell whose voice it was, but it was clear it belonged to a young person.

“The four major powers have all refrained from competing with my Xiao family. Who else in Jiuzhou has the guts?” Xiao Tianchen said with a deep voice, his aged eyes flashing with coldness, extremely intimidating.

Knowing that it was the Xiao family’s bid, someone still dared to offer a price, clearly not giving face to the Xiao family, nor considering the Xiao family worthwhile.

“Regardless of who it is, as long as it’s not one of the four major powers, this kid is dead for sure!” Xiao Yun said coldly, his eyes narrowing into a fierce look.

“It’s really quite surprising. Who exactly is it that dares to compete with the Xiao family?” an elder from the Nangong family said with a curious smile.

The Sect Master of Xiewang Sect said with a smile, “It seems the Xiao family will have to bleed heavily this time.”

In another private box, the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect said calmly, “I wonder whether Xiao Ran will give up the treasure or raise the price? And I’m curious about who has such courage.”

The private box on the second floor surely wasn’t one of the five major powers of Jiuzhou. If Xiao Ran were to back down, wouldn’t it mean the Xiao family was afraid?

Such an embarrassing act, the Xiao family wouldn’t dare to commit. The Xiao family couldn’t afford to lose this face.

But if the Xiao family continues bidding, bleeding money is certain, and the price for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus in the end will be frightening. They might not be able to fight against the other four major powers then.

With the Xiao family bleeding heavily, the four major powers were secretly pleased; the threat of the Xiao family was reduced considerably.

“I just worry it’s one of the other four major forces causing trouble secretly, doing so on purpose,” Xiao Ran speculated with a frown. With one less competitor, the remaining four major powers held more hope.

Other than this, Xiao Ran couldn’t think of anyone else in Jiuzhou who would dare to oppose the Xiao family.

All those present were extremely curious to find out who was bidding.

The crowd only sensed the presence of the Eightfold and Third Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm from the private box. The other two people didn’t exude any energy fluctuations at all.

This made everyone wonder; without any energy fluctuations, could they be ordinary people?

If they were ordinary people, could it be that the person of the Eight Layers of the Yuan Dan Realm had the guts to go against the Xiao family?

“Five… five billion!”

“Who is that kid? To actually bid five billion Gold Coins!”

“I think he doesn’t want to live anymore! Even the four major powers have yielded to the Xiao family, yet this kid insists on seeking death!”

“I really want to know who he is and what kind of end he will meet.”

The silent hall, when the people regained their senses, instantly exploded into a commotion, the noise spreading like a tidal wave.

“Six billion!” Xiao Ran, with a gloomy expression, finally placed a bid after a long while, his voice clearly carrying a tinge of anger.

“Eight billion!” Just as Xiao Ran had placed his bid, a voice came from the second-floor private box, this time from a woman.

They raised it by another two billion!

“Hiss…”

The people in the hall gasped in shock, finally understanding that the bidder was clearly challenging the Xiao family.

“A woman’s voice?”

“Who exactly are they? It’s clear they’re going up against the Xiao family.”

“If they continue to bid like this, the Xiao family might not have the power to compete with the four major forces for the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus.”

The hall erupted into uproar again.

“Who exactly are they?” Mu Caiyi stared dumbfounded at the private box, unable to guess who they were.

The chairman of the auction, Chu Changkong and others were also very curious, but no one knew who they were.

The bidder naturally was Feng Wuchen.

The one who bid the second time was naturally Ling Xiaoxiao.

At this very moment, inside the private box, Jiang Kui and his bodyguard were already paralyzed with fear on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

If the various powers knew he was together with Feng Wuchen, the Jiang family would be doomed.

Feng Wuchen didn’t bid for the Storage Ring because he fancied it, but because it was the Xiao family’s bid.

Feng Wuchen loathed the Xiao family to the bone. When Xiao Ran placed his bid, Feng Wuchen was quite surprised. Recalling how unfeeling the Xiao family was to Xiao Qingqing, Feng Wuchen then decided to make the Xiao family bleed heavily.

The Xiao family, being one of the five major powers of Jiuzhou, how could they fear a small power from the second floor?

Feng Wuchen also guessed that the Xiao family couldn’t afford to lose this face, which is why he immediately raised the bid by two billion Gold Coins!

Moreover, this way, Feng Wuchen also had one less competitor.

The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus, Feng Wuchen was equally determined to win it!

With such a treasure, how could Feng Wuchen let it fall into someone else’s hands?

Upon hearing the bid of eight hundred million, Xiao Ran’s face turned completely grim, his facial muscles violently twitching with a murderous light flickering in his eyes.

“Damn it!” Xiao Yun burst into fury, wishing he could charge out of the private box and kill the bidder.

“Who are you, sir? Why are you making an enemy of my Xiao family?” Xiao Tianchen appeared at the balcony on the second floor and shouted to the bidding box, his voice tinged with anger.

Xiao Tianchen appeared, catching everyone’s attention in the hall and causing a wave of panic–it was clear to anyone that the Xiao family was furious.

The major powers all watched with the attitude of onlookers, none of them interjecting.

The hall quieted down again, and all eyes turned back to the second-floor box, waiting for the occupant to speak.

“Elder Family Head Xiao, isn’t it true that anyone can bid for the treasures in an auction? Your Xiao family has set its sights on it, and as it happens, so have I. Your family can bid for it, so why can’t I? Elder Family Head Xiao, your words are rather unreasonable. If your Xiao family does not have the ability, then I shall not hold back. A mere eight hundred million Gold Coins, I can still afford that,” came Ling Xiaoxiao’s unflustered voice.

“You!” Xiao Tianchen’s face instantly darkened even more.

Arrogance! Extreme arrogance!

A young woman, daring to talk to Elder Family Head Xiao in such a manner!

Yet, the mysterious lady’s tone contained not a hint of fear, and her knowledge of the Xiao family’s existence demanded attention.

Knowing full well the strength of the Xiao family, yet daring to bid against them without fear of their power, indicated that this person had no small background!

Who else would dare speak to Elder Family Head Xiao like this?

“What’s wrong? Have I spoken incorrectly? If I have offended, what can Elder Family Head Xiao do about it?” the lady’s unperturbed voice rang out once more.

On hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but jump in shock, as if their souls were about to leap out.

People had thought that the woman would hold back, but she turned out to be even more audacious!

The woman was utterly fearless!

Just who was this woman, to show such disrespect to Xiao Tianchen?

In the auction hall, a maid’s face was filled with terror, her complexion pale, her body trembling uncontrollably!

The maid recognized the voices of Ling Xiaoxiao and Feng Wuchen.

It was this maid who had served Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao three days prior, so she was very familiar with their voices.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s words were sharp and biting, each one stabbing directly into Xiao Tianchen’s heart, his old face reddening and darkening in response.

The Xiao family was enraged! Xiao Ran’s face contorted fiercely, Ling Xiaoxiao showing no respect for the Xiao family whatsoever.

“You little wretch! How dare you disrespect my grandfather! Have you had enough of living? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now!” Xiao Yun roared in anger, then also appeared from the private box, his killing intent filling the air.

“You can try,” Ling Xiaoxiao answered coldly, not fearing even Xiao Yun, let alone Xiao Tianchen.

“Whoosh!”

As the situation seemed to spiral out of control, Chu Changkong quickly appeared, speaking calmly, “Young Master Xiao, please do not lose your temper.”

Turning his gaze to Xiao Tianchen, Chu Changkong continued, “Elder Xiao, everyone has the right to bid. Why must you be angry?”

“Hmph!” Xiao Tianchen snorted fiercely and placed a bid, “One billion!”

“Since Elder Family Head Xiao likes this Storage Ring so much, then this young lady shall let your Xiao family have it,” Ling Xiaoxiao replied with a slight sneer as soon as Xiao Tianchen made his bid.

“This is outrageous!” Xiao Tianchen was livid with rage, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly bursting forth.

The senior members of the Xiao family were no longer able to sit still, all of them seething with fury.

“This infuriating girl!” Xiao Yuanshan growled angrily.

“You wretch! No matter who you are! Once the auction is over, I, Xiao Yun, will definitely kill you!” Xiao Yun vowed viciously in his heart.

This was deliberate provocation! Intentional provocation!

The crowd in the hall was dumbfounded! Who exactly was this mysterious woman? Didn’t she know the strength of the Xiao family? She was utterly oblivious to the scale of heaven and earth.

“This young girl is doomed! Deliberately provoking the Xiao family, she definitely won’t see tomorrow’s sun!”

“Offending the Xiao family, there’s no good end! Especially when humiliating the Xiao family in front of so many people!”

“Not everyone can bear the wrath of Elder Family Head Xiao.”

The crowd was in a state of terror.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s audacity made even Chu Changkong frown slightly.

But the auction had its rules, and anyone was free to bid. Since Ling Xiaoxiao chose not to bid, he had nothing to say.

However, in doing so, Ling Xiaoxiao had thoroughly offended the Xiao family.

“This young lady really has quite some courage,” remarked the Family Head of the Nangong Clan, deeply surprised and even more curious about the mysterious woman’s identity.

The Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect frowned and said, “This woman may have a significant background, as ordinary people would never dare to embarrass the Xiao family like this, and she does not seem to fear them in the slightest.”

“The Xiao family has really bled for this! Spending one billion for a Storage Ring,” the Sect Master of the Xiewang Sect said with schadenfreude.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he noticed the grim faces of Huangfu Tianba and Huangfu Yunzhong, as if they had guessed the identity of the speaker.

Indeed! Huangfu Tianba had guessed that the mysterious woman was Ling Xiaoxiao.

The Huangfu family had clashed with Feng Wuchen on multiple occasions, so they were more than familiar with Ling Xiaoxiao’s voice.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s presence at the auction meant that Feng Wuchen was there too, and the man who had bid five hundred million was Feng Wuchen!
