Myth Beyond Heaven

"Long time no see, Brother Tian. I didn't expect to see you here today." Xing Renshu came forward to greet Weilan Tian.

Weilan Tian gave the nod in return and said. "Let's go up."

"Alright." Xing Rengshu responded with a smile and went to the top floor with his bodyguards and Weilan Tian.

"It seems he's really confident. He didn't bring a bodyguard with him." Shen Liqiu said gently.

It was true as she said, Weilan Tian didn't need anyone to protect him. A part of it came from his status and background, but the main reason was his absolute confidence in himself. He believed no one in this city could harm him.

At this moment, a familiar figure entered the hall and looked around briefly before heading to the top floor. His appearance caused a commotion among the crowd as many recognized his identity. He was no other than Jian Feng, the young master of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

"This is truly a gathering of young masters." Shen Liqiu chuckled. "There's one missing."

As her voice fell, Du Huanfeng walked into the hall with four guards following behind. He swept his gaze over everyone on the top floor and said with a faint smile. "Sorry, I was late."

"What late, Brother Du? We've just arrived as well." Xing Renshu responded. "We have prepared a room for you. Please come up."

Du Huanfeng laughed slightly and headed to the top floor with his people.

"Perhaps we could see a good show later." Shen Liqiu's eyes were full of expectation.

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing. Judging from their appearance, he didn't think these young masters would get into a conflict among themselves. And the so-called ancient sword was likely to fall into Weilan Tian's hands.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yun Lintian caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking out of the backroom behind the stage.

This figure was no other than his long-lost fourth sister, Wu Qingcheng. Yun Lintian didn't expect to see her here.

Shen Liqiu followed Yun Lintian's gaze and saw a charming woman slowly walking onto the stage. Even though she had never seen this person before, she could guess her identity more or less.

"She's your fourth sister?" She asked curiously.

Yun Lintian gave a low hum in reply while staring at Wu Qingcheng attentively. The last time they met, Wu Qingcheng was still at the early level of the Saint Profound Realm, but now, she had stepped into the seventh level of the Saint Profound Realm. It seemed she didn't slack at all during this period.

"Welcome everyone to our Mystic Pavilion. My surname is Wu. I will be your auctioneer today." Wu Qingcheng stood behind a podium and said with a professional smile.

Her appearance caused Du Huanfeng and the other young masters on the top floor to surprise slightly. Everyone naturally knew her identity. With her status, she didn't have to do this by herself at all.

"It is my honor to meet you today, Miss Wu." Xing Renshu said with a polite smile while fanning the wooden fan gently.

Wu Qingcheng tilted her head to look at the top floor and said politely. "Welcome, dear esteemed guests. It's our honor to receive all of you here. I wish you good luck today."

She shifted her gaze back to the audience. "To avoid wasting further time, I will introduce the first item today."

As her voice fell, two beautiful young helpers walked onto the stage with a large wooden box before placing it on a long counter at the center of the stage. They carefully opened the box, and soon, a rusty spear was revealed to everyone.

The spear was around 1.8 meters long, and complicated ancient runes could be seen underneath the rust. The tip of the spear was slightly bent downward, appearing quite broken.

"We have been entrusted by the seller to auction this ancient spear. The seller retrieved it from the Golden Mountain Ruin a year ago." Wu Qingcheng began to introduce it. "Because the seller couldn't decipher the mystery within the spear, the seller has decided to give it to us for auction."

"The starting price is one million high-grade Profound Stones, and the minimum bid for each call is ten thousand. Please feel free to raise the bid."

Hiss—

As Wu Qingcheng's voice fell, the audience gasped in shock. They couldn't believe someone dared to set such a sky-high price for a broken spear. If it wasn't for the Mystic Pavilion, they would have scolded the seller out loud by now.

Xing Renshu stared at the spear attentively for a long while and turned to Weilan Tian. "Brother Tian, have you figured out the mystery of this spear?"

Weilan Tian's expression was as calm as ever. He remained silent for a moment and said. "There's a spear intent left. Only a top spear practitioner could draw it out."

Xing Rengshu and the other young masters were slightly surprised upon hearing this. The spear was obviously broken. It was difficult to believe there was a residual spear intent within it. However, they didn't doubt Weilan Tian's words in the slightest.

Xing Renshu turned to Lei Jun and said with a smile. "Brother Lei, are you a spear practitioner? Why don't you take it away?… Don't worry. We won't compete with you."

Lei Jun looked at the spear and pondered for a long time before saying. "One million and one hundred thousand."

Wu Qingcheng glanced in Lei Jun's direction and said. "Young Master Lei has bid it. Anyone wants to raise a bid?"

The audience glanced at each other with bitter smiles on their faces. Even if they wanted to get it, it was no different from courting death. Not to mention the price was too high.

Wu Qingcheng swept her gaze over everyone and was about to conclude the bid. Suddenly, a female voice resounded from the second floor. "One million and two hundred thousand."

As her voice fell, everyone automatically turned to look in the voice's direction and saw a young woman with an ordinary appearance sitting in a private room.

Yun Lintian was speechless as he glanced at Shen Liqiu questioningly.

Shen Liqiu looked at him and said with a wrongful expression. "You don't want it, husband?"

The audience was sweating for Yun Lintian. If their wife had brought a disaster to them like this, they would have slapped her to death on the spot.
