Chapter 2835: Chapter 2811: Elder Murong Has Died!

Chapter 2811 Elder Murong is Dead!

Elder Zhao looked at the situation and smiled indifferently.

"Please, everyone, remain calm. This is the Holy Emperor Life-prolonging Pill. Taking it will extend life by a thousand years!" Elder Zhao introduced loudly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in madness.

"What! A thousand years! This is an immortal pill."

"Is it real? How can such a miraculous elixir exist? It’s probably a scam."

"It must belong to me. I must bid for it for our ancestor."

...

No one avoided speaking out loud about it. To everyone, it was something unheard of. Among the audience were many skilled alchemists, yet even to them, it was an incredible thing, regardless of its authenticity. If it could exchange Yuan Stones for a thousand years of life, then no matter how expensive, this pill would be worth it.

"What’s the starting bid? Can I ask which alchemist created this?" someone sent by the Transcendence Pond School stood up and asked first.

"Indeed, if this pill is fake, your auction house would be ruining its own reputation." someone from the Misty Sect also shouted from afar. They specialized in pill-making and had numerous alchemists under them, but none had ever heard of the Holy Emperor Life-prolonging Pill. In their impression, such a pill could not possibly exist.

Elder Zhao smiled indifferently and said, "Rest assured, the auction house would never do such a thing. I can vouch on behalf of the Tower Master. As for the alchemist, I promised to keep it a secret."

If this wasn’t concocted by Lin Feng, even he wouldn’t believe such a miraculous pill existed. However, Lin Feng’s path had always been beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even the chronic illness of the Tower Master’s ninth son was cured by Lin Feng. There seemed to be nothing in this world that Lin Feng couldn’t do.

Hearing Elder Zhao’s assurance, everyone felt at ease. Everyone wanted this pill because the ancestors of each major sect’s forces were at the peak of Divine Venerable, unable to ascend to the Divine Emperor. Extending their life by a thousand years might provide the breakthrough opportunity. If the ancestor were to pass away, the sect might be destroyed without anyone to protect it. Such occurrences were not uncommon, making this pill extremely important to all the prominent families present.

"Starting bid, fifty million Yuan Stones," Elder Zhao looked at everyone and stated calmly.

What!

Everyone had the same expression; they never expected the starting price of this pill to be fifty million, which was at the limit of what they could bear. After all, it was just a single pill. But thinking back, fifty million for a thousand years of life, gritting one’s teeth to win it would be very worthwhile, and this indirectly proved that the pill was truly valuable and probably genuine.

Everyone hesitated; no one was willing to bid first, observing the expressions of those around them. Some small sects didn’t need to consider this at all. The price was simply too high for them. Only the major forces—one cult, three gods, and eight sects—had the strength to compete for the pill. Suddenly, an elderly voice echoed from the first private room on the second floor: "Sixty million."

The voice was very old and wasn’t even spoken out loud, but transmitted into everyone’s mind. They were all astonished, not knowing how this voice entered their ears.

Everyone looked towards the first private room, and Elder Zhao also showed a surprised expression. The person in the first private room came to every auction. This person was much taller and burly than the average person, exuding a dark aura and always cloaked in a black hooded cloak, with their face completely covered by a mask, making them very mysterious. He had once tried to probe this person with his divine sense but found it severely suppressed. He was certain that this person’s power was above the Divine Emperor.

Lin Feng also heard the voice, but he suddenly froze. He sensed a familiar aura, like the one emanating from the Blood Ridge Demon Banyan at Burial Ground City. He suddenly had a bad feeling. Could the Demon Clan have arrived at the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm so quickly? However, he dismissed this thought because if the Demon Clan had invaded, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm wouldn’t be so quiet. Also, what use would the Demon Clan have for this pill? The more he thought about it, the more it seemed off.

He closed his eyes and extended his divine sense, discovering that it was suppressed at the auction house. The auction house had to do this to ensure the security of the treasures. He wanted to clarify two issues: first, who was in the first private room, and second, what was Murong He’s purpose in coming here.

"Sixty million once, sixty million twice?" Elder Zhao said leisurely. He had anticipated such a result. A normal person would not accept such a price for a pill, but this made him more curious about the esteemed guest in the first private room. He had never seen this person’s true face, but appeared at every annual auction.

"Seventy million."

What! Seventy million!

This sound came leisurely from the eighth private room just as Elder Zhao was about to finalize it, restoring anxiety to the hearts of everyone once again. What exactly was going on?

Elder Zhao was also stunned, knowing that the eighth private room belonged to Lin Feng. But why would Lin Feng raise the price himself? Did he think sixty million was too low? What if the other person didn’t follow through, wouldn’t everything then be in vain? He didn’t understand what Lin Feng was planning.

The whole venue suddenly fell silent, with almost everyone able to hear the breathing. No one discussed it anymore, and no one sighed with emotion or was surprised anymore. Everyone looked at each other, all wanting to see who would ultimately own the Holy Emperor Life-prolonging Pill.

"Eighty million!" Murong He couldn’t help but get interested. He originally thought the high price for this pill would deter others from bidding, but it turned out to be quite sought after. Yuan Stones were nothing to Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. If this treasure could be presented to Murong Chuan, the benefits he might receive could be unimaginable. At this thought, he revealed a sinister smile.

As soon as Murong He spoke, people shifted their gaze to the fourth private room. This auction became more interesting as Myriad Heavens Divine Cult offered such a high price, and it seemed this pill would undoubtedly belong to Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, leaving everyone without suspense.

Sure enough, after a while, no one raised the price anymore, which made Lin Feng feel strange. He thought the person in the first private room would definitely bid again, but this result instead made him have an ominous premonition.

"Eighty million once, eighty million twice, eighty million thrice! Congratulations, Elder Murong," Elder Zhao said with a smile, then instructed someone to deliver the pill to the fourth private room. He finally understood why Lin Feng raised the price himself, adding an extra twenty million Yuan Stones effortlessly. Truly clever.

This time, Murong He made a spectacle of himself at the auction. Once he returned, he would surely receive rewards from the Sect Hierarch. At this thought, he couldn’t help but laugh twice, then gently lifted his hand to lower the curtain behind him, eager to admire the world’s only Holy Emperor Life-prolonging Pill.

The auction ended like this, but Lin Feng did not leave hastily. He quietly approached the first private room, finding that the person inside had already left. The remaining aura in the room allowed him to assert that this person was definitely no ordinary powerhouse. Then he headed towards the fourth private room, but as he approached, he completely froze.

All four elders of Myriad Heavens Divine Cult inside the room were lying on the ground, and lying on the table was Murong He. His eyes protruded as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before dying, face pale, as if drained of all Yuan Energy in an instant. Such silent, lifeless death was very eerie. The Holy Emperor Life-prolonging Pill and the picture supposed to belong to Murong He had vanished. The killer must have snatched them.

Lin Feng stood outside the door and didn’t enter. If he entered, he really couldn’t explain himself. Then he turned around and returned to the eighth private room, waiting for others to discover Murong He. At this moment, he had a bold guess: the person from the first private room must be the killer, and this person was definitely not from the Heaven God Realm. He recalled the aura spreading in the first private room, very similar to that of the Blood Ridge Demon Banyan. He suddenly remembered the Blood Ridge Demon Banyan once mentioned it was brought by the Blood Fiend Demon Venerable from the Demon Domain, and the Blood Fiend Demon Venerable had since vanished without a trace. It’s highly possible that this person was the Blood Fiend Demon Venerable, who never left the Heaven God Realm.

Thinking of this, he found it terrifying. The Demon Clan had long been lurking in the Heaven God Realm, right beside them, without anyone’s knowledge. It had been countless years since the last demon war, and another outbreak seemed not far away. Lin Feng was now worried he wasn’t powerful enough to save the entire Heaven God Realm. He still needed some time.

Si Hong noticed Lin Feng in a daze, walked over, and held his hand, saying, "Feng, are you alright? If there’s anything, you must tell me."

"Don’t worry," Lin Feng patted Si Hong’s hand. He felt it was time to leave Ling City; otherwise, Myriad Heavens Divine Cult was very likely to blame this on him.

"Boss, why aren’t we leaving?" Tangyuan noticed that most people at the auction house had left, but the Boss was still there, lost in thought, and asked curiously.

Just as they were about to get up, a servant cried out from outside, "Something terrible has happened! Elder Murong is dead!"

What!

Upon hearing the news, Elder Zhao immediately flew up from the first floor, and the remaining guests all gathered around. They were all stunned by Murong He’s miserable appearance, never expecting him to die in the auction house. Elder Zhao was also shocked by this outcome; this was the Sect Hierarch’s brother dying within the auction house he managed, making it impossible for him to escape responsibility. At this moment, he was already flustered, but he had to address the matter first.

After being stunned for a moment, Elder Zhao softly said, "Send word to the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult and the Tower Master, temporarily deal with Elder Murong’s corpse. The remaining guests please go home."

Then he walked down the stairs dejectedly, never expecting such a thing to happen. Now his mind was completely blank, unable to determine who the killer was. He could only notify the Tower Master and let him decide. This was not a trivial matter and could potentially affect the fates of the Myriad Gods Tower and the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. In all his years managing the Holy Pill Pavilion, nothing like this had ever happened.
