Chapter 13 Traces of the Devil's Cult, Undercurrents Surge
Yu Canghai is a real villain, he makes no secret of his behavior.
But other people may not be real gentlemen, they keep saying that they want to be chivalrous, fight against the strong and help the weak, but once they face the problem of interests, the true face of these people will be completely exposed.
In the eyes of Lin Pingzhi, who is familiar with this world, Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan School, and Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan School, are typical hypocrites.
"Two million and one thousand taels!" Just when Yu Canghai thought he had the winning ticket, Zuo Lengchan suddenly called out a higher price.
Yu Canghai's expression froze, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Zuo Lengchan, and said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect the leader of Zuo to be interested in this "Evil Resisting Sword Art". It's really surprising."
"Peerless skills, there is no martial arts practitioner who is not interested." Zuo Lengchan said while drinking tea leisurely, "Since this is an auction, everyone should compete fairly."
"Leader Zuo is right. It just so happens that Yue is also quite interested in this "Evil Resisting Sword Art", so let's mix it up a bit, two million and twenty-two thousand taels!"
As soon as Yue Buqun said this, he immediately attracted the attention of Yu Canghai and Zuo Lengchan.
"I thought headmaster Yue, known as the 'Gentlemen's Sword', only wanted to promote the righteous way and didn't care about the level of martial arts. It seems that I was wrong." Zuo Lengchan said thoughtfully with a slightly cold gaze.
"Yu has been thinking about this "Evil Resisting Sword Art" day and night, and he is determined to win it. I wonder if Master Yue can make it easier?" Yu Canghai discussed with Yue Buqun in a slightly threatening tone, "If Master Yue can Withdrawing from this auction, I, Qingcheng faction, will definitely keep this favor firmly in mind!"
Yue Buqun ignored Yu Canghai's hidden threats, and said with a calm smile, "Master Yu was joking, Patriarch Lin said before that the evil sword technique is for the highest price."
"If Master Yu really wants to get this evil sword technique so much, he might as well pay a little more money to get it."
Yu Canghai's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly. Although he thought that someone might obstruct him in this auction, he never expected that two obstacles would jump out all of a sudden.
"Okay! Okay! Then let Yu see whether my Qingcheng faction has a strong background, or your Songshan and Huashan factions are even better!"
Seeing that Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun didn't give face, Yu Canghai felt annoyed, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to increase the price: "300 million taels!"
However, Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun were chasing after him closely, which made it impossible for him to easily capture "Evil Resisting Sword Art".
"Three million taels!"
"Three million taels!"
……
The three famous sects raised their prices up against each other, causing the auction price to soar.
As for other sects——
Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Master Dingxian and Dingyi of Hengshan School are too dedicated to practicing Buddhism, and are not too keen on martial arts training.The reason why they came to participate in this auction was just to curb the bad style of the Qingcheng faction and to witness a major event in the martial arts with their own eyes.
The Kunlun Sect, the Emei Sect and others had some ideas about the "Evil Resisting Sword Art", but the sect's poor management and insufficient funds made it impossible for them to participate in the rich and powerful competition of Yu Canghai, Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun.
The Qingcheng Sect led by Yu Canghai did all kinds of crimes in order to earn money, and obtained a large amount of funds from the martial arts and the people by virtue of indecent methods comparable to those of the Demon Sect.
Zuo Lengchan has always been enthusiastic about power struggles. As the leader of the Songshan Sect and the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, he has many means to obtain a large amount of money in a short period of time.
Yue Buqun wanted to revitalize the Huashan School with all his heart. For decades, he had been painstakingly managing it with all his heart and energy, and he had also accumulated a lot of activity funds for the development of the Huashan School.
……
In the blink of an eye, the entire auction turned into a competition for wealth among the three sects. Since the auctioneer's father, Lin Zhennan, was hosting the auction, Lin Pingzhi, having nothing to do, stepped off the stage and came between the Hengshan faction and the Huashan faction to compete with Linghu Chong. The protagonist engages in friendship, and by the way, has a closer look at the beautiful female disciples of the Hengshan School.
"Ding! Yilin's affection for you has increased to close!"
"Ding! A special scene is triggered - all heroes gather in Longquan Villa! The conditions are met, do you want to perform a super check-in?"
Just when he easily won the favor of all the female disciples of the Hengshan School with his good-looking face, chatted and laughed with everyone, and molested Yilin until her face turned pink again under Master Dingyi's unkind eyes, The system suddenly rang.
The two messages in a row caught him off guard. Let's talk about Yilin's favorability first. This is a phenomenon he has never seen before. Why does the system deliberately mark this kind of information?
There was no reward at all, as if it was just a reminder, which made him quite puzzled.
Then came the second piece of information, which was equally puzzling. It didn't come sooner or later. Why did it come out when the auction was in its infancy?
"All the heroes gathered in Longquan Mountain Villa... This condition should have been fulfilled when the auction started, but there was no movement in the system at that time. Could there be some problem?"
Lin Pingzhi looked at Yilin, then looked around, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"Heroes gathered... Heroes gathered... That's right! The term 'heroes' should include both righteous and evil martial artists! So far, only righteous people have appeared in Longquan Villa. Not a single person in sight!"
A moment later, Lin Pingzhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered his blind spot in thinking.
"Since 'Gathering of Heroes' refers to the gathering of good and evil factions in one place, and the system has not issued a notification until now, that means... at this moment, villains such as the Demon Sect have already sneaked into Fuzhou City and arrived here. Longquan Villa!"
Lin Pingzhi's heart was shocked, he quickly looked around, and finally found some clues in the lively and peaceful environment.
"That person... has a problem!" He looked at a long-haired woman wrapped in a black cloak and standing on the eaves, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
Although there were many martial artists in strange costumes present, this woman alone gave him a particularly different feeling, seeming a bit out of place with the surrounding people and environment.
"Brother Lin, what happened?"
Seeing Lin Pingzhi looking around, Linghu Chong couldn't help asking. He followed Lin Pingzhi's gaze and saw the woman standing on the eaves with only the lower half of her fair face exposed.
"This woman...Brother Lin, have you met her before?"
"I haven't seen her before, I just think she's a bit special." Lin Pingzhi shook his head.
Hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately showed a smile that a man could understand, and patted him on the shoulder, jokingly said: "I didn't believe in love at first sight, but now that I see Brother Lin's performance, I do believe it. "
On the side, Yilin with sharp ears turned her head to look at Lin Pingzhi, but then looked up at the woman in the cloak on the eaves, her mood suddenly became a little sour and complicated.
