Chapter 127: The Auction Is Getting More Serious.

"110000!" a voice shouted immediately after the bidding started.

"120000!"

"130000!"

"140000!"

"..."

The bidding was fierce; no one was ready to back down. This was an opportunity to own such a powerful carriage.

Suddenly, a deep voice shouted, "200,000."

For a moment, the auction room was silent, and everyone turned their heads in the voice’s direction.

The voice belonged to the Artifact Refining Hall master. Feeling all the gazes, the hall master smiled brightly at everyone.

"You won’t—"

Before he could complete his statement, another voice said calmly,

"250,000."

"Huh!"

A deep gasp echoed in the air. Everyone was stunned by such a massive increase. Apart from that, he had gone against the Artifact Refining Hall Master.

"This is an auction. Your title and position do not mean anything here," said the Golden Pavilion leader with a smirk.

All the occupational hall masters glared at him, and an elder from the Rune Inscription Hall said coldly,

"Do you want to go against us?"

"I’m not going against you... I’m just following the rules of the auction." He shrugged.

"Like everyone else, bid, and if you win, no one will complain."

"Fine!" He nodded, but a deep rage was etched on his face.

When was the last time some measly leader from a pavilion dared to look down on them?

"260..."

"270..."

A tug of war began between the Golden Pavilion leader and the Artifact Refining Hall. All the various occupation halls had reached a tacit understanding, supporting each other.

As for the powerful and smaller clans, they were quite shocked by the high bidding.

Finally, when the bid reached 350,000...

The Artifact Refining Hall Master sighed and shook his head. He couldn’t go any further.

Standing on the podium, Sun Na had a bright smile on her lips.

"350,000. Going once!" she said, her eyes wandering around the hall, waiting for another bidder.

Unfortunately, no one was going to bid. Besides, there were two more grades to unveil.

"Going twice. Sold!" she announced and looked at the Golden Pavilion leader. "Congratulations to the Golden Pavilion."

"Please, go to that room to make your payment." She pointed at the door in the corner.

The Golden Pavilion leader and elder stood proudly and walked toward the pointed door.

Looking at them, all the occupational hall masters were furious, their eyes burning with fury.

They had once again lost face.

This time, in the presence of all the upper echelons of the Southern Region. Everyone inside the hall could feel their raging fury but did not care.

They had brought this upon themselves.

Standing on the podium, Sun Na’s smile deepened, ignoring the unsightly expressions of the various hall masters.

"Now, it is time for the Lightning Wind Carriage Standard Grade," she announced. Her gaze moved from one face to another.

"Are you ready? If you don’t have enough funds, now is the time to acquire more."

"If you think the Common Grade is powerful, then let me tell you: it can’t hold a candle to the Standard."

"For the Noble Grade..."

"I’m not looking down on anyone here. But I don’t think you came prepared for it."

Gasp!

Everyone gasped in shock.

The Common Grade Lightning Wind Carriage had left them breathless, but the auctioneer was telling them it could not compare to the Standard Grade.

For the Noble Grade, the three sects, the Governor Mansion chief maid, and others frowned.

They all planned to go for the best, but now, it seemed they were wrong.

"Can you tell us more?" an elder from the Frost Moon asked.

Instantly, everyone turned their eyes to Sun Na, waiting for her explanation. Sun Na looked at the Frost Moon elder and opened her mouth slowly.

"Let’s think about it. If the starting price of the Common Grade is one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, what do you think of the Standard Grade or Noble Grade?"

"Let me tell you a secret." She whispered, and most of the people leaned forward to listen to the secret.

"The Noble Grade is meant for the Assembly Summit..."

"Huh!"

Summit!

Everyone knew the gravity of that word. That was the highest stage on the continent. Any force invited to such a summit was a force to reckon with.

Watching the solemn expressions on their faces, Sun Na grinned. ’The fish had taken the bait.’

Although it was not meant for the summit, the Noble Carriage was something that, when it appeared at the summit, all the powerful forces would fight for it.

But to the young master, it was just a carriage, that’s all. To meek these forces, they had to nudge them a bit.

"Let’s move to the Standard Grade." She clapped her hands twice.

From the massive door, four Jade Fang Lizards pulled a massive carriage inside.

The carriage was close to 3 meters in length, covered in dense runes with powerful beast carvings on it.

The carriage emanated a powerful aura that stunned everyone. All the dense runes pulsed with energy as if they were alive.

"Do you feel it?" Sun Na asked. Her voice brought the stunned crowd out of their stupor.

Even the Governor Mansion chief maid and the three sect elders could not help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

How could a carriage give off such a powerful aura?

They all wondered in amazement.

"Impressive, right?" said Sun Na, her voice filled with pride.

The audience was too stunned to respond.

’Who made such a powerful artifact?’ the leader of the Broken Moon Consortium wondered.

She had been to the Central Region, even to the Central Capital. But she had never seen anything this powerful.

This was beyond anything in this world.

The Rune Inscription Hall Master and the Artifact Hall Master were already on their feet, staring at the pulsating runes on the carriage.

"Everyone, please sit down..."

The hall masters exchanged subtle glances and saw the fire on each other’s faces.

They must find the masters that made this carriage, they thought solemnly.

"Let me explain its power," Sun Na began. "It has everything the Common Grade has, and it is twice as fast."

"Now, let’s talk about its special power." She grinned and stepped down from the stage.

"Anyone below the Half-Step Golden Core Realm stands no chance against its defense and it could withstand dozens of attacks of a stage 1 Golden Core expert. But that’s not the only thing—it can also attack."

"It’s called a counterstrike."

"Lastly, it has stealth," she announced, stopping beside the carriage.

All eyes were on her. She opened it and sent her spiritual energy to the control chamber and activated its stealth function.

Whoosh!

A powerful forcefield surrounded the carriage, four Jade Fang Lizards, and they blended with the hall.

"What!" an old man shouted.

"How!"

The audience was on their feet, staring at the location where the carriage was previously.

They tried their best to locate the carriage but could not find it.

How is this even possible?

Suddenly, from the other side of the room, Sun Na appeared with the carriage.

"What do you think?" she looked at the stupefied crowd with a deep, bright smile.

"W-When did she appear there?" a woman asked with a trembling voice.

No one responded to her. Their gaze was fixated on the carriage, their eyes shining brightly.

Suddenly, the Governor Mansion chief maid stood up. "Miss Sun, can you wait a moment? I need to send a message to the Governor."

"I can only delay the auction for ten minutes," Sun Na responded.

"Thank you, that’s enough." With that, the chief maid left the auction room with large strides.

Seeing this, everyone realized the gravity of the situation.

If the Standard Grade was this overpowering, then what about the Noble Grade?

Huh!

They sucked in a cold breath.

"Young Miss, what are we going to do?" a woman asked in a low voice.

The Broken Moon Consortium leader was quiet for a moment. She realized she had underestimated the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

Their artifact was too overpowering compared to the other artifacts.

It was like they were not made from this continent.

"Young Miss..." the woman called, but this time, her voice was filled with urgency.

A deep sigh escaped from her lips. She realized why the Golden Pavilion leader had gone all out for the Common Grade.

"We do nothing. We can’t afford it," she announced with a bitter smile under her mask.

If she had gone all out for the Common Grade, her chance of obtaining it was very high.

Shaking her head, she did not dwell on it any longer.

While the Broken Moon Consortium were regretting their loss, others were planning.

The five powerful clans had formed a last-minute alliance just to stand a chance.

They were not the only ones; the occupation halls and guilds had also come together.

They could not miss this chance.

"Elder..." an inner elder looked at the core elder who was their leader.

"I know what you want to say," the elder snapped.

How could he not realize his blunder?

His gaze rested on Sun Na with an ugly expression. "Dammit!"

He stomped his feet and approached Sun Na. He could not believe he was going to lower his head to a common auctioneer.

But when he remembered all the Tier-3 beasts, he knew his pride meant nothing.

"Miss Sun..." he called with a bright smile.

"Call your sect master. You don’t have the authority to negotiate," Sun Na stared at him without any change in her expression.

"This is not me looking down on you. I’m giving you a chance to redeem yourself."

The elder was stunned before a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Thank you..." he said quickly and rushed off.

"You only have five minutes left..." Sun Na shouted from behind.

Watching the elder escaping at his top speed, the two other sects realized the auction was getting more serious.

Without hesitating, they bolted out of the hall.
