Chapter 3494: Quick Thinking in a Crisis
ouldn't help but smile wryly: “It seems those two arrived at a most unfortunate time. This friend Jiāng was indeed part of my clan’s army before, but over a year ago, he went out on a mission for our...Jiang Yun's words made Tie Ruo Nan pause for a moment, but he immediately understood what Jiang Yun meant!
Since Jiang Yun could almost be certain that the person bidding was from the Xu family brothers, then it wouldn't hurt to give up this bloodline pearl for now. After the auction ended, he would just find the two brothers and take back the bloodline pearl!
Although taking things from the Xu family was a difficult task, when he heard Jiang Yun speak up and give up, Tie Runan's heavy heart finally felt light.
Even if Jiang Yun didn't go to the Xu family to seize something, Tie Runan wouldn't be unhappy at all.
In her heart, she was telling herself: "At worst, I'll pretend I never saw this bloodline bead."
"Our Iron Family has been doing just fine for all these years without this bloodline bead!"
Jiang Yun's surrender didn't feel special to the other cultivators in the arena; rather, they considered it a natural outcome.
$600,000 for a single pearl is an unreasonable price.
But for Xu Buxiu, the smile on his face was already solidified, and his expression became extremely ugly. He couldn't believe his ears!
This means you'd have to spend 600,000 top-grade Heavenly Stones to buy this bead, which even the Immortal of Wine doesn't know what it does!
Even though the Xu family had always kept their true strength hidden, and even though they could take out these 600,000 top-grade heaven and earth stones, it was still a very painful thing to do.
But if we don't bring it out, it's equivalent to going to war with the Qiankun Auction House.
And over the course of its existence, Qiankun Auction House has also had a few instances where items were sold but payment was not made.
The final outcome is that those people will either be killed directly by the Qiankun Auction House, or their respective families and sects will obediently hand over enough Heaven and Earth Stones. No one can shirk responsibility to the Qiankun Auction House!
But can the Xu family's hidden strength rival the Qiankun Auction House
Even if they could fight back, would their ancestors go to war with the Auction House of Heaven and Earth for them
In an instant, countless thoughts surged through Xu Bu Xiu's mind, eventually coalescing into a single thought: I'm finished!
The man standing beside him had quietly retreated, even to the doorway of the room, watching Xu Buxiu with sympathy in his eyes.
When Xu Buxiu suddenly shouted out a price of 600,000, he was playing with fire.
Now, Xu Buxiu has truly played himself.
No matter how this matter is ultimately resolved, Xu Xiuxiu's path has come to an end.
From now on, his status in the Xu family would probably be inferior to that of his dissolute younger brother.
And those four ancestors of the Xu family also opened their eyes one after another. Although they tried their best to suppress it, anger was rising on each person's body.
My own family, when did such a disreputable descendant come out
If they weren't inside the Qiankun Auction House, they would really want to slap Xu Bu Xiu right now.
"Last name……".
Xu Buxiu suddenly opened his mouth, wanting to curse at Jiang Yun and demand why he stopped bidding. However, the four elders didn't give him a chance to speak. With a wave of their sleeves, they sealed his mouth shut.
Xu Bu Xiu's face contorted, now he only had one thought, hoping that there were others who would bid and buy this bloodline bead.
It's a pity, Ru Meng's voice has already sounded: "Congratulations to this friend, who has successfully bought this bead at the price of 600,000 top-grade Heaven and Earth Stones!"
Now, let's continue with the next item up for auction!
With a dream-like appearance, another object materialized in Xu Buxiu's hand. He knew deep down that from this point on, the matter of him capturing this bead was set in stone, with no room for change!
And this also made his soul feel as if it was suddenly pulled away. "Plop," he slumped to the ground with a thud, his face ashen and his eyes vacant.
At the same time, a playful smile appeared on Qiu Ge's face. She muttered to herself, "This Gu Si is truly something else!"
Originally, I thought I could just sit back and watch the show, see how he helped the Tie family fight against the Jiuxian Jiao and Xu family. But I never expected that he would now throw this hot potato at me!
Now, it's become a matter between my Qiankun Auction House and the Xu family!
"However, who could have thought that at this critical moment, Xu Buxiu would be so useless and do such a foolish thing as shooting himself in the foot!"
"Oh!"
Although Qiu Ge sighed in his mouth, the relaxed expression on his face showed that he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
Because in the next moment, he had already taken out a communication jade slip and said: "Give that Xu Bu Xiu a reminder, tell him that his only way now is to persuade those four elders of the Xu family to go find the ancient four!"
"Gu Si, in room number seven of the Di character section!"
As Qiu Ge crushed the transmission jade slip, the middle-aged man who had retreated to near the door in Xu Bu Xiu's room, his eyes flickered slightly.
Then, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Xu Bushu: "Young Master, this must have been deliberately set up by Gu Si, so the only way now is to find him as soon as possible!"
Even if we can't kill him, he definitely has enough Earth Stones on him to at least help you through this crisis.
"However, Gu Si is a cunning and powerful individual. You going alone would likely not be his match. It's best you find a way to persuade these four ancestors of the Xu family. With them present, dealing with Gu Si would be more than manageable."
It is obvious that this man is actually Qiu Ge's person!
Hearing the man's words, Xu Buxiu on the ground trembled violently, suddenly jumping up. His eyes finally lit up, and he knelt directly before the four elders of the Xu family: "Four Ancestors, Buxiu has committed a great transgression, shaming the Xu family. I implore the four Ancestors to help me redeem my sins."
Four old men stared at Xu Buxiu together. One of them spoke coldly, "The trouble you brought upon yourself, you better find a way to atone for it yourself!"
"Four Ancestors, now that things have come to this, I can no longer hide it. To be honest, I already knew the true identity of Gu Si a long time ago. As long as we capture him, not only can we avoid today's predicament, but we can also bring immense benefits to my Xu family!"
An old man scoffed and said, "What is the ancient Four's identity that they are worth so much"
Xu Buxiu gritted his teeth and said, "That Gu Si is actually Jiang Yun, who is wanted by the thirteen major forces of the Zhutianjiyu!"
"What!"
The four elders' faces changed instantly, they all stood up at once, and even the bodyguard was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "This Xu Bu Xiu isn't entirely useless after all!"
"At this time, to even think of such a method!"
As Xu Bu Xiu's confidante, he knew better than anyone where Xu Bu Xiu would find out Gu Si's true identity.
However, in the current situation, if he wanted to persuade these four elders, he would have to find a reason that they couldn't refuse.
Four old men asked in unison, "Xu Buxiu, are you certain"
Xu Buxiu replied, "Even if I don't have a 100% certainty, at least I have an 80% chance!"
This is Xu Buxiu's cleverness. He came up with a brilliant idea in the midst of chaos, thinking of Ginger Cloud's kind of lie about the ancient four.
Although such lies would be exposed once Gu Si was caught, as long as they captured Gu Si and obtained the Heaven and Earth Stone on his body, at least they could ensure their own safety for the time being.
Four people looked at each other. Although they were suspicious of Xu Buxiu's words, the reward for Jiang Yun was simply too tempting.
If Gu Si really is Jiang Yun, then not only would he offend the Wine Immortal, but even the entire Luoyun Domain. The Xu family itself would ascend to become a powerful force within the Zhutian Jidu!
Therefore, although the chances were slim, they quickly made a decision and said: "Okay, we'll go catch that Gu Si right away, just not sure which room he's in."
The loyal follower quickly opened his mouth, wanting to find an excuse and reveal Gu Si's location in Room Number Seven on the seventh floor!
However, before he could speak, he saw Xu Bu Xiu already stepping out of the room and appearing directly in the auction hall. He spoke loudly: "Surname Gu, come out here! Or else, don't blame me for exposing your past!"l.""Protecting the Spirit Master is secondary, your own safety comes first!"This is not an expression of flattery from Wu Yaohua.After all, Wu Chang is the elder of the Five Spirits Clan. His status i...
