Chapter 682: 681, Auction
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen knew it was about time, so they emerged from their space and headed to the auction hall. They were unaware of the Black Robed Elder’s arrival, but even if they had known, they wouldn’t have been afraid. If avoidance was impossible, they were ready to confront the situation.
The exterior of the auction hall was packed with people, but as soon as Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived, the waiting Ghost Cultivators promptly made way for them. They had no choice; the powerful presence of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen was simply too overwhelming to resist.
“Greetings to the two Ghost King Highnesses!” The steward of the auction hall also came forward to greet them.
“Arrange a private box for us,” Qin Yushen instructed indifferently. He and Xiao Ning had inquired about this during their return to Netherworld City—the auction hall had twenty private boxes in total, reserved for Ghost Cultivators ranking Ghost King or above.
“Please follow me, two Ghost Kings Highnesses,” the steward said respectfully, leading the way up front. He had already investigated and found that a total of twelve Ghost Kings had arrived in Netherworld City, so there were enough private boxes available.
Upon leading Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen to a private box on the second floor, he said, “Two Ghost King Highnesses! This box is equipped with an Array Formation Barrier. You can see the entirety of the auction hall through the barrier, or you can open the partition for direct viewing. Here’s the control button for the partition, and this is the bidding bell.”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen murmured their acknowledgment with a nod.
“If you need anything, please feel free to summon me. I shall take my leave now,” the steward bowed out of the box.
Song Yan Ning pressed the partition control button, and the wall facing the auction stage slowly slid open, revealing the full view of the auction hall below. “This is quite advanced.”
Qin Yushen took out a plate of Spirit Fruits and a pot of Spiritual Tea, pouring a cup for Song Yan Ning and handing it to her. There were fruits and tea available in the box, but since they weren’t Ghost Cultivators, consuming these had no benefits for them.
Song Yan Ning smiled as she accepted the Spiritual Tea and took a sip. She had already set up an Array Formation Restriction around the box; unless someone with a stronger Divine Sense came along, they would be utterly unable to break through their Array Formation Restriction.
The Black Robed Elder entered the auction hall in the company of the City Lord, his Divine Sense extending, sweeping over the entire hall.
Although the Ghost Cultivators were displeased to be probed by Divine Sense, they wouldn’t dare to resist as the other was a Ghost Emperor. Unless they were fed up with living, they wouldn’t dare even if they had a hundred Ghost Galls.
As Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were talking, they felt someone forcefully attempting to break through the Array Formation Restriction of their box with Divine Sense.
A flash of displeasure crossed Song Yan Ning’s eyes, and with a swift gesture, she threw out two Array Flags, immediately strengthening the Array Formation Restriction to an impenetrable state.
The Black Robed Elder’s expression darkened, and he looked towards the box where Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were. He suspected that the people inside might be the ones responsible for killing his Ghost Corpse Worms.
“They are Qian Li Ghost King and Wraith Lord of Moshan,” the person in charge of the auction hall quickly replied, trembling with fear.
The Black Robed Elder frowned slightly, “Let’s go to the box.” He was aware of Qian Li Ghost King and Wraith Lord of Moshan’s strengths; when did they become so adept in Arrays, capable of blocking his Divine Sense?
“That person is very powerful,” Qin Yushen observed, watching the Black Robed Elder approach the second floor.
“What are your chances if it comes to a confrontation?” Song Yan Ning asked. She wasn’t strong enough to compete with the Black Robed Elder yet, but if she were truly provoked, she wouldn’t back down. She had an army of Demon Beasts at her disposal; even if a single Demon Beast were to step on the opponent, it could crush him into a pulp.
“Ninety percent,” Qin Yushen confidently curled the corner of his lips. The other party was a Ghost Emperor, equal to his current cultivation. However, he had once been an Immortal Venerable, possessing a powerful Divine Soul and countless tactics.
