Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 699: Humiliating the Xu Family (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Ruyan was visibly in a good mood as well.

No matter what, the fact that they were able to obtain the Mystic Color Stone already made this trip a worthwhile trip.

At the very least, they had already obtained half of the materials needed to repair the Ascension Platform.

It could be said to be a good start.

On the other hand, Huang Wenyu, who was standing beside them, had a helpless and bitter smile on his face.

This was because he knew very well that after this matter, with the Xu family’s usual style, they would definitely launch a full investigation on the three of them.

While Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan might not be concerned, Huang Wenyu’s status was almost certain to be compromised, meaning he would likely have to abandon his position as the vice-leader of West Ocean Commerce Alliance and join the couple.

Not that he would have any reluctance or complaints about it.

In fact, being able to find the Mystic Color Stone and help his hometown repair the Ascension Platform was something he was very willing and hoped to see.

The reason why he had such complicated emotions was because in the past, the leader of the West Ocean Commerce Alliance, Zheng Hengyu, had treated him well and valued him very much.

If the others wanted to become the vice leader, they had to be at least at the seventh level of Nascent Soul.

However, he, Huang Wenyu, was only at the fifth level of Nascent Soul and had taken on the position of the vice-leader of the West Ocean Commerce Alliance.

It was obvious how much Zheng Hengyu valued him.

As for whether his commerce alliance would be targeted by the Xu family…

This might be possible, but Huang Wenyu wasn’t really worried.

That was because the leader of the West Ocean Commerce Alliance, Zheng Hengyu, was also a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.

Under such circumstances, even if the Xu family wanted to target the West Ocean Commerce Alliance, they wouldn’t go overboard.

At most, they would ask the West Ocean Commerce Alliance to give them an explanation or hand over Huang Wenyu.

However, at that time, Huang Wenyu would have already taken the initiative to leave the West Ocean Commerce Alliance.

Even if the Xu family wanted to do something about this, they would not have much of a chance.

As if sensing Huang Wenyu’s thoughts, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t comfort him. Instead, he said in an apologetic tone,

“I’m really sorry, Brother Huang. I’ve implicated you in this matter.”

Hearing this, Huang Wenyu sighed.

He could not help but shake his head with a smile.

“It’s nothing. I’m just a passerby here. I just hope that you won’t forget my help when we go back.”

Huang Wenyu’s words, laced with a hint of jest, instantly drew laughter from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

The auction continued.

However, many people present could clearly sense that the Xu family cultivator on the auction stage was not in a good state.

Especially when compared with the other two auctioneers, the Xu family cultivator’s performance was even more disappointing.

In such a manner, the auction segment that belonged to the Xu family ended.

However, not long after stepping down from the stage, the Xu family cultivator seemed to have received a task and started walking towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

This unexpected move surprised some of the people, while others who were aware of the Xu family’s reputation and the situation at hand showed expressions of anticipation for the drama to unfold.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan slightly raised their eyebrows, already understanding the other party’s intention.

At that moment, they didn’t wait for the other party to walk closer, nor did they have any intention of saving the other party any face. They directly said indifferently to the other party,

“If you’re here to take back that stone, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen.

Since the Xu family chose to auction it off, you must be prepared for it to be sold.

Or are you saying that the Xu family can’t stand to lose? Are you planning to use force or threats if you don’t get your way?”

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t lower his voice, so almost everyone present heard his words.

This led to a variety of expressions in the crowd, with many people looking towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with both surprise and intrigue.

“They really are fearless,” some thought. “To say such things openly in front of so many people, they’re literally trampling the Xu family’s pride underfoot.”

Even the white-robed elder and Junior Brother Yao in a private room were momentarily taken aback upon hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s bold words.

Soon, they soon burst into laughter.

Junior Brother Yao said, “The Xu family has truly lost face this time. I wonder how their old ancestor will react once he hears of this.”

The white-robed elder smiled and said, “Reaction? Needless to say, it must be that of anger.

I’m now quite interested in the identities and backgrounds of these two people. Why don’t we get someone to investigate their backgrounds?

While the two of them were talking, the Xu family’s auctioneer’s face was already ashen.

Indeed.

He had received a message from Xu Hailong, instructing him to retrieve the Refinement Stone from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan by any means necessary, be it enticement or threats, before the auction’s end.

However, what the Xu family’s auctioneer did not expect was that Jiang Chengxuan would directly reveal his true intentions in front of so many people.

Moreover, it was in such an unequivocal manner.

Thinking of this, the Xu family auctioneer couldn’t hold back any longer.

His eyes suddenly blazed with a bone-chilling murderous intent, and he coldly said to Jiang Chengxuan and the others, word by word:

“How dare you slander our Xu family?

Do you really think we Xu family won’t dare to do anything to you in this auction?”

‘Well…’

Hearing the Xu family auctioneer’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes finally narrowed.

A dangerous aura was slowly being emitted from his body.

As a Heavenly Lord, Jiang Chengxuan’s tolerance had its limits

If a clown kept annoying him like a fly and kept buzzing in his ear, he wouldn’t tolerate it.

However, before Jiang Chengxuan could explode, a female auctioneer from the Blue Ocean Holy Land on the auction stage in the distance immediately said coldly,

“Xu Chuanping, if you continue to disrupt the order of the auction, don’t blame me for having you thrown out.”

As she spoke, the female auctioneer from the Blue Ocean Holy Land emitted a powerful aura, characteristic of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, firmly locking onto Xu Chuanping not far from Jiang Chengxuan and his group.

This made Xu Chuanping’s previously murderous expression instantly stiffen.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he awkwardly stood there, ultimately choosing to leave resentfully after giving Jiang Chengxuan and his companions a final cold glance.

Simultaneously, the female auctioneer from the stage cast an apologetic look towards Jiang Chengxuan and his group, saying,

“My fellow Daoists over there, I’m really sorry.

I sincerely apologize for what just happened. As compensation, if you bid and win any item later, no matter the final price of the item, I will offer you a 50% discount.”

As soon as she finished speaking, many cultivators present could not help but reveal shocked expressions.

They had never expected the Blue Ocean Holy Land to do such a thing.

This immediately formed a sharp contrast with the Xu family’s actions just

now.

For a time, many cultivators present had a good impression of the Blue Ocean Holy Land and the female auctioneer.
