Everyone has the right to choose what to do.
Su Chen believes that he did not break any rules or do anything inappropriate today.
As the saying goes, at the auction, the highest bidder wins.
Perhaps, his monopoly of everything at the auction was overbearing, aggressive, and unsightly, but it was definitely within the rules.
In such situations, Su Chen believed that if he were Wei Lin, Tian Sanlin, or others, he would not attack someone else out of pride or greed.
If someone did that, they would have to bear the consequences themselves! Su Chen had already warned them!
That was what Su Chen thought.
Others might not think the same.
After that, the top talents and heirs of top powers from Nan E Ancient Capital, one after another, looked angry. Their faces, already filled with envy, jealousy, and murderous intent, grew even darker.
"Damn it! This little bastard, so arrogant, is truly seeking death!" Nangong Jie hissed, "Gentlemen, he took all the treasures alone, as if he wasn’t afraid of bursting. I suggest we join forces, kill this bastard, and then redistribute those treasures!"
Wei Lin nodded with a grim expression, "Kill him!"
Tian Sanlin hesitated a bit, but after a long while, he nodded emphatically, "Count me in."
"Count this old man in too!" Yao Zheng also nodded.
"I will finish him off with one stroke. Isn’t he asking to be completely annihilated?" Lu Yuanfang’s murderous intent was already boiling.
Among those present, the prominent figures who didn’t make a statement were probably just Hua Wuwei and Nangong Wu.
No matter how Nangong Wu chose, they dared not harbor any other thoughts and felt that no matter what Nangong Wu chose, it would be normal.
But if Hua Wuwei didn’t participate, it would be a pity, so the Fourth Prince Nangong Jie turned to Hua Wuwei with a smile, "What does Brother Hua say?"
"Say what?" Hua Wuwei raised an eyebrow, his expression mysterious, as if he truly didn’t know what the Fourth Prince was asking.
"Brother Hua knows what this prince means," the Fourth Prince’s eyes twinkled, his heart perhaps the most eager to slay Su Chen, not just for the treasures in Su Chen’s possession but for Su Chen’s life itself, which he and Zhong Tinger had guaranteed.
"I’m just here to watch the show, not to participate, of course, if Su Chen is ultimately slain by the gentlemen, I won’t step forward and insist on sharing whatever treasures he had," said Hua Wuwei indifferently.
"Hmph!" Nangong Jie and the others were somewhat displeased but didn’t say much. With 90% of the supreme powerhouses present making their stance known, missing one Hua Wuwei wasn’t much; they thought it just meant one less person to share the treasures with.
"Let’s go, follow him!" Nangong Jie lifted his head and licked his lips, watching Su Chen’s retreating figure from afar.
Under their lead, a good thousand or two martial cultivators from Nan E Ancient Capital followed Su Chen.
Apart from Nangong Jie, Nangong Ao, Lu Yuanfang, Wei Lin, Lu Yuanfang, Yao Zhenghe, Tian Sanlin, and others, there were still easily a thousand or two talents and powerhouses who had participated in the auction following them.
They may not match the strength, background, or talents of Nangong Jie, Nangong Ao, Lu Yuanfang, and others,
but they were also the cream of the crop from Nan E Ancient Capital, otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t have been qualified to receive an invitation to the Sacred Auction today; most of them ranged in strength from the First Layer to the Third Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm.
They had just stepped out of the Sacred Auction.
"Miss!" Several members from the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild came forward, following by Su Wanqing’s side with utmost respect.
However, the worry and urgency on Su Wanqing’s pretty face did not diminish at all, for these dozens of attendants, compared to those who were plotting behind them, were a drop in the bucket! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net
The difference was too vast.
Be it in terms of strength or numbers.
"Wanqing, Li Ping, you two split up from me!" Su Chen suddenly said.
"What?" Su Wanqing exclaimed, then shook her head, "Su Chen, we can’t leave!"
Li Ping, though silent, also looked very determined.
"With you two here, I’ll be hindered," Su Chen stated indifferently, "If you don’t want me to die, then split up from me!"
Su Wanqing and Li Ping quivered.
Finally, the two women nodded.
They decided to split up.
But, it was just splitting up, not that they wouldn’t care about Su Chen anymore; the two women exchanged glances, their intentions clear. They would distance themselves a few thousand meters from Su Chen, far enough to constantly watch over him, yet not so close as to burden him.
After splitting up with the two women, Su Chen’s lips curled into a particularly meaningful smile.
"Young boy Su, are you confident?" Jiuyou asked, his eyes following the one to two thousand people growing closer behind them, their killing intent almost unmasked and intense.
Among those one to two thousand people, just at the Vaulted Extreme Realm Eighth Layer, there were as many as four martial cultivators.
Yao Zheng and Lu Yuanfang were both at the Eighth Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm, as well as one old man each closely associated with Nangong Jie and Nangong Ao. Beside Nangong Jie stood Li Xiuyi, who was at the early stage of the Eighth Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm, and beside Nangong Ao stood Zhao Yuanqiao, also at the early stage of the Eighth Layer.
Besides the four of the Eighth Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm, Wei Lin was accompanied by two old men who were at the mid-stage Seventh Level of the Vaulted Extreme Realm, and Nangong Hui was accompanied by one old man at the Seventh Level.
In addition, counting the powerhouses following Tian Sanlin and the others, cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Vaulted Extreme Realm numbered no less than ten.
Then, those at the Vaulted Extreme Realm’s Sixth and Fifth Layers, were dozens upon dozens.
"Not a single one at the Vaulted Extreme Realm’s Ninth Layer, quantity doesn’t equal quality," Su Chen raised an eyebrow, his eyes erupting with a cold killing intent.
Su Chen reached a street in the Nan’e Ancient Capital, and apparently deliberately, he picked a less crowded street.
When he reached the corner of this street, suddenly, Su Chen stopped!
As soon as Su Chen halted.
Instantly, the one to two thousand people trailing behind also stopped at that very instant.
"Hehe... gentlemen, I wonder what you want to do? You have followed me all the way here," Su Chen turned his head, gazing at the one to two thousand people who had now come very close, and smilingly asked.
"Brother Su is a wise man," Tian Sanlin blinked, "Brother Su, hand over your storage bag, and this young master can at least ensure you get a whole corpse!"
"Storage bag? Young master here, doesn’t have one. I only have a storage ring. Moreover, there are indeed many treasures in my space ring, apart from the treasures I obtained at today’s auction, there are many other excellent Supreme Treasures I acquired before!" Su Chen slightly raised his hand, provoking them.
As soon as Su Chen spoke these words, the faces of Tian Sanlin, Nangong Ao, and others slightly changed.
