The transaction would be made on the spot.

  No one left the auction house. They all wanted to stay and see if this strange middle-aged man who suddenly appeared could truly take out 2 billion!

  The middle-aged man went on the stage to verify and transfer the money on the spot.

  Everyone took a look at it.

  They didn’t expect this middle-aged man to actually have so much money.

  A man with 2 billion in cash was definitely a super-rich figure in Wulin.

  As they were astonished, everyone was talking about it, ready to turn around and leave.

  “Mr. John Doe!” But right at this moment, the middle-aged man who had completed the transaction with the staff of the auction house on the stage suddenly turned his head, held fist salute to Fang Qiu who was in the private room on the second floor and said, “I’ll give you the clue about the Ambergris Grass, the Heaven Treasure which ranked 8th. Can you give me your nine Guru Swords?”


  All the people present were stunned!

  Only then did everyone immediately come to their senses.

  It turned out that the middle-aged man spent so much money not for the Heaven Treasure, but for the sword!

  He was fully aware that if the Guru Swords were auctioned separately, the price of each sword would not be less than 300 million. Nine of them would cost 2.7 billion, or even 3 billion.

  Although Fang Qiu now exchanged one sword for 200 million, this price was already remarkably low.

  There was no doubt that this was an exceptional method to buy nine Guru Swords at the lowest price once and for all!

  If he asked John Doe to sell them to him in private, it was very likely that John Doe would not agree. If he wanted to get these nine Guru Swords, he must take out something that could please John Doe. And now, the thing that could satisfy John Doe the most was undoubtedly the clue of Ambergris Grass.

  At this moment, Fang Qiu eventually understood why this person gave him a strange look when he tried to make a bid.

  After hearing the middle-aged man’s request, the people of Four Great Families immediately confirmed that this middle-aged man was definitely from the Sword Sect!

  “So that’s what you’re planning.” On the second floor, Fang Qiu smiled.

  It turned out that this was the man’s plan.

  However, since he was willing to make the deal, Fang Qiu would go along with the flow. The final transaction had to be done.

  As he was smiling, Fang Qiu’s right hand push forward.

  The case containing the Guru Swords on the tea table immediately rose into the air and flew straight out of the window of the glass wall in front of him.

  “Whoosh.” Without saying a word, the middle-aged man grabbed the suitcase and waved his hand.

  The slip of paper with the clue of the Ambergris Grass written on it, which he had just obtained from the auction house, immediately flew out of his hand and directly landed on Fang Qiu’s hand.

  “Great.” After receiving the case, the middle-aged man immediately opened it for verification.

  However, the middle-aged man was stunned when he took a look.

  “Hmm?” He still looked surprised. The middle-aged man quickly raised his head to look at Fang Qiu who had received the note and said, “Why is there one more sword?”


  As soon as he said that, all the people present widened their eyes.

  “Ten swords?”


  “What the f*ck, are there really 10 of them?”


  “Is this guy stupid? Why doesn’t he leave the second he found that there’s one more sword? What’s the point of being so honest?”


  Upon hearing that, everyone began to complain.

  The middle-aged man also came to his senses.

  But he still looked at Fang Qiu solemnly, showing no intention of taking advantage of him at all.

  “I can’t let you suffer losses.” Fang Qiu smiled blandly.

  If he hadn’t made the bid, Fang Qiu might have to use ten Guru Swords to get the information. Obviously, the look that the man showed him earlier was to prevent him from spending more money. Since he treated Fang Qiu like this, Fang Qiu naturally should express his gratitude.

  There were just several Guru Swords.

  He could simply cast them again if he needed to.

  “All right, thank you.” The middle-aged man didn’t hesitate and thanked Fang Qiu with his fist salute.

  At this point, the deal was over.

  The middle-aged man left first with the swords.

  The others also turned around and left one after another.

  “Brother John Doe.”


  Just as Fang Qiu was about to leave through the special passage reserved for VIPs on the second floor, another voice sounded in the auction hall on the first floor.

  He turned to look.

  It was Lin Rusheng who called Fang Qiu!

  “I’ll wait for you in Zhongnan Mountain in two days,” Lin Rusheng reminded him with a smile.

  “Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “See you then!”


  Only then did everyone come to their senses.

  There was still a battle of ascension between the two of them!

  This auction was too conspicuous, which overshadowed the battle of ascension between the two of them. Now that the auction was over, the biggest event in Wulin was undoubtedly the battle of ascension!

  After accepting Lin Rusheng’s invitation, Fang Qiu turned around and left.

  When almost everyone had left, Yun Yangzi and the members of the Four Great Families met in the VIP special passage.

  As they gathered together, Diwu Qian asked the crowd with a smile, “Guys. What do you think of today’s auction?”


  Qian Xiao shook his head and said, “I don’t have any thoughts. Since I don’t have enough money, I admit my defeat. But compared with the whole auction, I’m more concerned about the middle-aged man who showed up in the end, as well as the battle of ascension between John Doe and Lin Rusheng!”


  “Humph,” When Zhan Lin heard that, she immediately snorted and said disdainfully. “Lin Rusheng is shabby. He’s a snake in the grass!”


  “Yeah.” People of the Xi family nodded in agreement.

  “It does seem a bit too much.”


  Yun Yangzi also nodded in agreement and said, “According to the previous information, the Ambergris Grass will mature in five days, but after Lin Rusheng knew that Fang Qiu got the clue of the Ambergris Grass, he asked John Doe to battle in two days. Whether he wins the battle or not, John Doe may not be able to completely recover in three days and go to compete with the guardian beast for the Heaven Treasure. That’s the first thing.”


  “Secondly, if Lin Rusheng were a gentleman, he should let John Doe get the Heaven Treasure first and then fight with him. But he didn’t do that. Maybe he was worried that John Doe would not come back, or that John Doe would be seriously injured. Anyway, all he did was for his own good. He was also the one who changed the date for this auction. John Doe agreed with his proposal, but this time, he didn’t say anything to change the date for John Doe.”


  “Third, the most dangerous thing for John Doe is that after the battle of ascension, John Doe is at his weakest. If someone covets the clue of the Heaven Treasure which ranked 8th, John Doe will be in danger!”


  Everyone nodded in unison after hearing that.

  “Speaking of which, Lin Rusheng truly is a despicable man!”


  The leader of the Xi family secretly nodded and said, “That’s right. If he weren’t sinister, why wouldn’t he be able to break through to become a guru even after living in seclusion for ten years!”


  “I haven’t discovered this before. He is too shameless.”


  Qian Xiao thought about it carefully and immediately complained.

  While everyone was criticizing, Diwu Qian asked, “What do you think of the senior who got the clue with two billion and exchanged it with John Doe?”


  “I think we’re all thinking the same thing, right?” Zhan Lin turned to look at the four people around her.

  “Yes.” Qian Xiao nodded.

  “Since everyone knows it, there’s nothing to hide,” Yun Yangzi smiled calmly and said. “Sword Sect!”


  As soon as he said that, the others nodded at once.

  “Sword Sect has not appeared in Jianghu for a long time. Why did they suddenly make a move this time?”


  Diwu Qian was confused.

  “Obviously they came for the clue of the Ambergris Grass.”


  The young man who led the Xi family said, “However, it’s obvious that after they came here, they felt that the ten Guru Swords is far more useful than the clue of the Ambergris Grass, so they changed their minds at the end.”


  “That should be the case.” Yun Yangzi nodded slightly.

  “Once the Sword Sect shows up, they’ll probably not continue living in seclusion as they did in the past.”


  Qian Xiao took a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid Wulin, which has been quiet for so long, is going to be bustling again.”


  “That’s strange,” Diwu Qian said, “Who in Wulin is willing to take out the clue of the Ambergris Grass to auction? And they are also willing to accept the Guru Swords in exchange for money.”


  “I always have a feeling that this matter is unusual,” Yun Yangzi frowned slightly and said. “If there is a force behind the person who auctioned off the clue of the Ambergris Grass, John Doe may be in danger when he goes to fight for it this time.”


  The five of them discussed for a long while.

  However, they didn’t come to a conclusion.

  The five of them could only disperse and return to report to their clans.

  When Fang Qiu walked out of the Chic Cloud Pavilion, it was already night.

  Because there were few people in the suburbs, Fang Qiu directly flashed and moved quickly in the night.

  After a while, Fang Qiu found that there was a person following him all the time.

  He came to the entrance of an alley.

  Fang Qiu rushed straight into the alley and stopped.

  Before he could say anything, the man who had been following him came out directly.

  “It’s you?” Fang Qiu took a closer look and found that the one who appeared in front of him was the middle-aged man who exchanged the clue of the Ambergris Grass with him.

  “It’s me.” The middle-aged man nodded.

  “Do you want to get back the clue about the Ambergris Grass?” Fang Qiu asked because he saw with his own eyes that when he traded with the Chic Cloud Pavilion, the middle-aged man had never seen the clue’s information on the slip.

  The middle-aged man immediately shook his head and said, “No, I hope you can remember a number.”


  “Oh?” Fang Qiu was stunned.

  The middle-aged man directly told him a phone number and then said, “You’re welcome to the Sword Sect. You can come at any time.”


  “Okay.” Fang Qiu didn’t refuse. After memorizing the number, he nodded and said, “I’ll go when I have time.”


  Fang Qiu didn’t know what the Sword Sect exactly was. He only felt that the middle-aged man was very friendly and that he shouldn’t be too aloof.

  “Do you need me to help you get rid of the tail?” The middle-aged man asked after Fang Qiu agreed to come.

  “Thanks,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said. “I can do it myself. You seem to have been followed too.”


  “They’re insignificant.” The middle-aged man smiled.

  “One of them is not.” Fang Qiu turned to look in the other direction behind the middle-aged man.

  Fang Qiu already sensed it.

  The big trouble that had been following the middle-aged man was Sword Addict!

  The Sword Addict was obviously interested in the guy in front of him.

  “Well, this……” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, it’s a bit tricky.”


  After saying that, he held fist salute to Fang Qiu with a smile and said, “So long.”


  As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and vanished into the darkness.

  The middle-aged man left.

  But Fang Qiu did not move, standing calmly where he was.

  He could feel that he was also in trouble.

  “Please show yourself.” Fang Qiu shouted in the darkness.

  “Haha.” At this time, a laugh was heard.

  He followed the voice to have a look.

  A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

  He took a closer look.

  The man was none other than the guru sitting in the unnoticeable corner of the auction hall, who looked like an ordinary person!
