Chapter 288: The Venerable Driven to Social Death by Fang Ze’s Persuasion
At this moment, the sudden turn of events made the few factions that were bidding just now a bit restless.
One of the Venerables stood up directly and looked at the Venerable who was with Blue Blood, and asked, "Spotted Whale. Eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends? Are you joking?! You have eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends hidden?"
Hearing the words of that Venerable, the Venerable named Spotted Whale grinned, revealing a mouth like an octopus's tentacle, "Of course."
Just as the Venerable who stood up was about to continue questioning, another Venerable in the crowd raised a hand and said casually, "Eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends plus one Ascension Stage Divine Fiend."
Upon hearing those words, the Venerable who stood up turned around in surprise and looked at him, "Deep Red! You also have eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends hidden?!"
The Venerable named Deep Red wore a noble crimson robe, with a red moon in the middle of his forehead, looking elegant and mysterious.
Hearing the words of the Venerable who stood up, he smiled slightly and said, "A coincidence, a coincidence."
Hearing Deep Red Venerable's casual response, the Venerable who stood up swallowed hard and suppressed his expression before sitting down.
At the same time, the faces of the two Venerables who had been sitting next to him also turned very unpleasant. Clearly, as a similar top-ranked Venerable faction of Heaven Beyond the Heavens, they also possessed the ability to control Divine Fiends. They originally thought everyone's foundational power was about the same, but they didn't realize their competitors had quietly pulled so far ahead!
If not for this auction, they estimated they might have been kept in the dark until they were completely surpassed. This was simply the most terrifying thing!
However, things were not over yet. While several Venerables regretted, the auction continued.
Hearing Deep Red Venerable's bid, Spotted Whale Venerable of the Bloody Duel Field almost without hesitation raised his hand and continued to offer, "Nine Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends!"
Hearing the words of Spotted Whale Venerable, Deep Red Venerable raised his hand again, "Nine Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends plus one Ascension Stage Divine Fiend."
Spotted Whale Venerable hesitated for a moment, then continued to increase his bid, "Ten Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends!"
This time it was Deep Red Venerable's turn to hesitate. Normally calm, he unprecedentedly turned to look at Spotted Whale Venerable and Blue Blood Venerable.
Spotted Whale Venerable grinned, looking particularly terrifying, while Blue Blood Venerable nodded slightly with a warm smile on his face.
Seeing this, Deep Red Venerable hesitated for a while, then raised his hand again, "Nine Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends plus seven Ascension Stage Divine Fiends."
Spotted Whale Venerable raised his hand without relenting, "Eleven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends!"
After shouting this price, Spotted Whale Venerable directly called out to Deep Red Venerable across the distance, "Deep Red. Eleven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends is our bottom line. If you can offer more, then it's yours."
Hearing the words of Spotted Whale Venerable, Deep Red did not answer immediately. He looked at the four Venerables beside him.
The five Venerables discussed in low voices for a moment, then finished their discussion. Deep Red stood up, smiled, and waved to Blue Blood Venerable and Spotted Whale Venerable, saying, "We give up. Congratulations to you."
At this time, Flower God was also whispering to Fang Ze about the faction represented by Deep Red Venerable.
"Fang Ze, you should have heard of the Destiny Casino in the Nine Dragons District, right?"
Upon hearing the words of Flower God, Fang Ze couldn't help but think of the few white chips Yuan Gu had given him, and he nodded.
Flower God simply said, "Deep Red Venerable is the head of the casino."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ze suddenly understood why Deep Red Venerable had such a strong foundation, and why he dared to contend with the Bloody Colosseum, which ranks in the top three of Heaven Beyond the Heavens.
Years ago, Dahei Jialuo had explained that after thousands of years of strife, Heaven Beyond the Heavens was ultimately divided into 87 districts by various Venerables. Among them, the Nine Dragons District is the largest and strongest of all the regions, managed by nine Venerables in cooperation, and its power is terrifying.
The Nine Dragons District mainly has two major businesses: the casino and the resource exchange center. And since Deep Red is the head of the casino, he obviously has a high rank among the nine Venerables.
After recalling all the information, Fang Ze looked deeply at Deep Red Venerable and then continued to host the auction: seeing that no one was competing with the Bloody Colosseum anymore, Fang Ze began the final countdown, "Bloody Colosseum, eleven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends! Is there anyone continuing to bid?"
"Eleven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends, once!"
"Twice!"
"Three times! Sold!"
As Fang Ze shouted out the word "sold," the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, as if undercurrents were about to surge onto the stage.
And at this moment, Fang Ze also spoke. He looked at the Spotted Whale Venerable, who represented the Bloody Colosseum's bid, and slowly said, "Spotted Whale Venerable, before the official transaction, I would like to ask you two questions."
"First, was it your Bloody Duel Field that blocked my faction? Now that you have won my treasure, will you keep your promise and let me leave?"
"Second, do you truly have eleven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends? Don't tell me you're trying to pull a fast one."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Spotted Whale Venerable clapped his hands with a smile.
