Chapter 362 Auction of 1 Country
“I’m afraid I need to correct a fatal mistake in Young Master Su’s guess—that the Praying White Crane is not mine.”
"If it's not yours, it will go with you to the Blood Central Realm. Your lies are too clumsy," Su Jing sneered.
"Young Master Su is wrong again. The Praying Spirit White Crane did not go to the Blood Central Realm with me. There were five people who went to Shuanghe Village at that time, and the Praying Spirit White Crane was not even with me when we arrived at the Blood Central Realm. Why are you so sure that the Praying Spirit White Crane was with me?"
He absolutely cannot admit that he is the one who approves of the Qiling White Crane, otherwise Guan Bi is likely to be exposed and his plan will fail. He has every reason to believe that Su Jing will expose his scheme.
"Haha, Shen Xu, you're still as sharp-tongued as ever. I really can't bear to kill you. Otherwise, wouldn't all those secrets in your head go to the underworld with you? That would be such a waste."
"Why don't you tell me the secret in your mind before you die? That way you'll have done a good deed, and I won't have to bother searching for the soul-searching technique."
Hearing Su Jing's words, Shen Xu truly understood the old saying on Earth: when people are extremely speechless, they will laugh.
"There are so many people in the world who have secrets. If Young Master Su keeps thinking like this, he will probably suffer a great loss in the future."
"Unfortunately, I'm the type to bully the weak. Who told you to have what I want in your head, and to be so weak in strength! Do you think you can make me suffer a great loss?"
“When the weak face the strong, they only have one choice: to bow down. Otherwise, they will die. You have broken that taboo,” Su Jing said with great regret.
"Really? But I feel like there's a third option. Didn't Young Master Su say he wanted to show me what a true genius is during the Ningzhou Grand Competition?"
"How about a life-or-death duel at that time? Whether I win or lose, I will give Young Master Su a satisfactory answer." Shen Xu said calmly.
"Very good answer, I'm very satisfied. However, you need to break through to the Yuan Dan realm first, otherwise you won't even be qualified to see me. You have five years left, I hope you won't disappoint me then." Su Jing smiled.
"Now that we've finished discussing personal matters, let's talk about business. Tell me about what happened in Yunyang Kingdom, and remember not to hide anything," Su Jing suddenly said with a serious expression.
"I'm sorry, there are some things I must keep from you, but they are only my private matters and will not affect your judgment of Yunyang Kingdom. What aspects do you want to know?"
Su Jing glanced at Shen Xu with some surprise, then said, "Customs and traditions, power structure, attitudes toward ancient methods, and the composition of resources in the country and surrounding areas."
"May I ask which side you are speaking on behalf of?"
"What's the difference?"
"Of course, if I am representing the Four Directions Sword Alliance, I have an obligation to answer you; if I am representing the Seven Luminaries Sect, I have no such obligation."
"You're really nice!" Su Jing's expression was somewhat unfriendly.
According to Su Jing, Shen Xu guessed that the Four Directions Sword Alliance and the Seven Luminaries Sect had agreed to divide the Blood Central Realm according to the national division, and he naturally hoped that the Yunyang Kingdom would be in the hands of the Four Directions Sword Alliance.
He had already told Li Xiaoyi everything he had seen and known about Yunyang Kingdom (except for Lin Qingxiang). If Su Jing represented the Seven Luminaries Sect, he could not tell him about Yunyang Kingdom.
"Unfortunately, Yunyang Kingdom has already fallen to the Seven Luminaries Sect," Su Jing said casually.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu's expression changed.
"Isn't it shocking and unexpected? I'm sorry, but some things are beyond our control. In this matter, we are both the weaker party."
"So now I'm here on behalf of the Seven Luminaries Sect to inquire about the specific situation of your Seven Luminaries Sect's territory. I think you are now obligated to answer my questions." Su Jing smiled again.
After leaving the room, Shen Xu still couldn't understand why the Four Directions Sword Alliance would abandon Yunyang Kingdom. Not only did he have a solid foundation there, but the kingdom also had the highest acceptance of ancient methods among the seven kingdoms.
Crane Feather's home is in Yunyang Kingdom, and even after the establishment of the boundary gate, his landing point is in Yunyang Kingdom.
"How was it? Did Su Jing give you any trouble?" Li Xiaoyi asked with concern.
"I'm fine. He doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking me yet. Xiao Yi, do you know how the Sword Alliance and the Seven Luminaries Sect plan to divide up the Blood Central Realm?"
"Zuo Chen persuaded the Seven Star Saints to mobilize the entire Xingchuan Domain to develop the Blood Central Realm, which is also one of the main purposes of this auction. The largest auction is for one of the seven kingdoms of the Blood Central Realm," Li Xiaoyi replied.
"Who controls the Kingdom of Yunyang?"
Li Xiaoyi glanced at Shen Xu and replied calmly, "Giving Yunyang Kingdom to the Seven Luminaries Sect is one of the conditions Zuo Chen is using to gain the support of the Seven Luminaries Star Saint."
"Has Zuo Chen returned yet? I need to see him." Shen Xu's gaze deepened.
"He hasn't returned yet. Many of the materials needed to build the boundary gate are not available in the Xingchuan region. Zuo Chen's lineage is quite influential in Zhongzhou, so the Seven Star Saints took him and the Speaker to Zhongzhou. They probably won't be back until next spring."
"Next spring!" Shen Xu suddenly remembered Qing Yun's words; the Hundred Flowers Festival was also next spring.
But Zuo Chen isn't here, so how would he know what to do? And if the Seven Star Saints aren't here, who can control that riot?
"Did he leave me any messages?" Shen Xu asked, his brows furrowed.
"He said he didn't know what to ask you to do, but he trusted you and Qingyun."
"Zuo Chen, you son of a bitch!" Although Shen Xu really wanted to curse Zuo Chen's ancestors, he finally let out a helpless sigh.
He guessed that Zuo Chen must have persuaded Haoyue Sword Master in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have had the opportunity to make such a decision.
Moreover, judging from Li Xiaoyi's words, Zuo Chen's identity is probably not simple. Did he come to Xingchuan Domain to save Xingchuan Domain, or for some other purpose?
In truth, it didn't make much difference to him which side ruled Yunyang Kingdom. The Seven Luminaries Sect couldn't prevent him from going to Yunyang Kingdom after the boundary gate was established; it was just that he felt a little uncomfortable.
"What did you mean by auctioning off one of the seven kingdoms? Who would buy it?"
"The other three fourth-grade sects in the Xingchuan region."
"Should we only leave them one country? Wouldn't that be a waste of the remaining two sects? Besides, they would have complaints, which would probably be detrimental to the overall situation."
"What is being auctioned is not ownership of that country; the Seven Luminaries Sect plans to divide that country into ten parts for auction."
"You can do this?!" Shen Xu had to admire the Seven Luminaries Sect's shamelessness.
Moreover, Li Xiaoyi never mentioned which country was being auctioned off. It was clear that the Seven Luminaries Sect and the Four Directions Sword Alliance were planning to leave the leftovers to the other three sects to snatch up. The key point was that the other three sects would have to eagerly and happily go and grab them.
"When does the auction start?"
"Tianjian City is almost ready, but many representatives from various sects have come from all over Xingchuan Domain. The auction will only officially begin after their auction items are evaluated, classified, and graded."
