Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility-Chapter 70 – Qin Feng Declares War

"Twenty million middle-grade spirit stones!"

"Twenty-one million!"

"Twenty-three million!!"

…………

Inside the Qianlong Auction House, the atmosphere had reached its peak. Countless people were scrambling to raise their bids, all for the Breakthrough Pill in Wan Jianfeng's hand on the auction stage.

As the most precious item in this pill auction, the Breakthrough Pill was saved for last. The moment it appeared, it caused a frenzy, and the price quickly soared past ten million.

"I bid twenty million middle-grade spirit stones, plus an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Cloud Sword!"

At that moment, a voice cut through the fervor of the crowd.

All eyes turned to a corner of the seating area, where a stern-looking, slightly plump middle-aged man sat, his gaze as cold as eternal ice.

"That's Xue Wuqing!"

"So he came too, and he's lost so much weight! I didn't notice him before!"

"He's even willing to offer the Fire Cloud Sword! It seems he is determined to get the Breakthrough Pill!"

People were both amazed and shocked by Xue Wuqing's offer of the Fire Cloud Sword.

An Innate Spiritual Treasure can more than double the combat power of an Innate Expert. Its value is no less than a fourth-grade pill, yet he used it as a bargaining chip for the Breakthrough Pill!

Wan Jianfeng smiled and asked, "Xue Wuqing is willing to offer twenty million middle-grade spirit stones plus an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Does anyone have a higher bid?"

The crowd murmured, but no one responded.

Among those present, only a few could produce an Innate Spiritual Treasure, but such treasures were heirlooms, symbols of their sects, and couldn't be casually offered.

Now that the Fire Cloud Sect was destroyed, the Fire Cloud Sword held no more significance, making Xue Wuqing's move unmatched.

However, if someone had enough wealth, like over a hundred million middle-grade spirit stones, they might still have a chance. Among those present, only one person could possibly produce such wealth in one go—the Tianfeng Pill King.

Everyone's eyes turned to the white-haired elder on the purple-gold platform, even Wan Jianfeng glanced at him.

But the Tianfeng Pill King seemed uninterested in competing, leisurely reclining in his chair with his eyes closed.

"Strange, the Tianfeng Pill King bid eighty million middle-grade spirit stones for the Spirit Molding Pill, yet he's not interested in the more precious Breakthrough Pill!"

"What is the Tianfeng Pill King thinking?" People couldn't help but wonder.

"Congratulations to Xue Wuqing for winning the Breakthrough Pill!" Seeing no response, Wan Jianfeng finally announced the pill's new owner.

Amidst envious and jealous gazes, Xue Wuqing walked up to the auction stage and took the jade bottle containing the Breakthrough Pill.

People had mixed feelings, full of envy, resentment, and hatred. Some even wished to rush up and snatch it, but deterred by Xue Wuqing's terrifying strength, they reluctantly sat back down.

Xue Wuqing was now a half-step Innate; challenging him without reaching the Prenatal Realm was suicidal.

"Alright, thank you all for attending. Today's auction is now concluded…" Wan Jianfeng cleared his throat, beginning his closing remarks.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" came from outside, and the auction house's entrance was smashed open, leaving a large hole.

The noisy crowd fell silent!

All eyes focused on the entrance.

A two-meter-tall man exuding a powerful aura stepped into the auction house.

"That's Qin Feng, the master of the Beast Taming Sect!" someone immediately recognized him.

Xuanyuan Leng squinted and chuckled, "Heh, I thought he wasn't coming."

"What's the point of coming now? The auction is over. Qin Feng is really slow." Wang Ming'ao sneered.

The Tianfeng Pill King opened his eyes and said calmly, "Qin Feng has a murderous aura about him; things might not be so simple."

"Oh?" Wang Ming'ao squinted, and after sensing carefully, he too realized something was amiss.

Qin Feng's eyes were bloodshot, his expression grim, and his terrifying aura unintentionally spread, causing most of those present to tremble with fear, wondering what had happened to make him so angry.

Wan Jianfeng smiled slightly upon seeing the newcomer and cupped his hands, "Ah, it's Master Qin. I'm sorry, but the pill auction has already ended."

Qin Feng, expressionless, glared at Wan Jianfeng and said, "President Wan, is Lord Xiao still at the Qianlong Bank?"

Wan Jianfeng's heart skipped a beat.

Qin Feng's aggressive search was likely related to the incident with Gu Yun, but he chose to come at this moment.

Now that Lord Xiao had established his influence, any trouble would have to be carefully considered.

"I'm sorry, Lord Xiao comes and goes as he pleases. I don't know where he is." Wan Jianfeng cupped his hands.

"Hmph! Tell that Xiao, if he doesn't want to die, he should bring his beasts to the Beast Taming Sect to see me. Otherwise, don't blame me for flattening his lair!" Qin Feng shouted through gritted teeth.

His words caused a stir of shock and astonishment in the room.

Qin Feng was declaring war in public???

Everyone knew that Wan Jianfeng had a powerful backer, the same Lord Xiao who had destroyed the Fire Cloud Sect and the Hidden Poison Sect. Moreover, the numerous third-grade and fourth-grade pills auctioned today were all crafted by Lord Xiao.

A fourth-grade alchemist, a figure who had single-handedly destroyed two one-star sects, and Qin Feng dared to declare war on him!

Was he insane?

Even the Beast Taming Sect wouldn't dare to casually offend a fourth-grade alchemist, let alone declare war.

Everyone present was shocked and puzzled by Qin Feng's intentions.

Only the Tianfeng Pill King stroked his beard, showing no surprise.

"Master, what's going on? That Lord Xiao is a fourth-grade alchemist who single-handedly destroyed two sects. How can Qin Feng dare to declare war on him?" Wang Ming'ao was utterly confused.

"Heh, Ming'ao, there are some things you're better off not knowing."

The Tianfeng Pill King, with an enigmatic expression, sighed, "I'll just tell you this: Qin Feng has coveted those demon beasts for a long time, and the Beast Taming Sect is far stronger than you imagine."

Wang Ming'ao fell silent.

The Beast Taming Sect was the most powerful sect in the Tianfeng Kingdom today, but without an Emperor Realm expert, it was still just a one-star sect.

A fourth-grade alchemist could easily gather a large group of Innate Experts willing to serve him. When had he ever feared a one-star sect?

Wang Ming'ao couldn't understand, but since his master didn't elaborate, he didn't ask further.

Wan Jianfeng was also taken aback, then smiled wryly, "I'll pass your message to Lord Xiao."

He wasn't worried at all.

A dignified fourth-grade alchemist, afraid of a one-star sect?

Xiao Long had already destroyed two one-star sects.

Qin Feng turned to Xue Wuqing in the distance and shouted, "Xue Wuqing, do you remember what Liao Huoyun instructed?"

"Of course, I remember." Xue Wuqing nodded.

"Hmph! Good, you have one month to break through to the Prenatal Realm. In one month, gather outside Fire Cloud City for the expedition!"

"Yes!" Xue Wuqing cupped his hands.

With those words, the entire room fell silent.
