Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1197 - 1194: Flame Dragon Dynasty

"Two hundred and ten thousand!"

The Wang Family’s patriarch in Lei Huo City was the first to bid, initiating the battle for the Phoenix Flame Grass.

However, before his voice had even fallen, another patriarch with the surname Wang began to raise the bid.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

Very quickly, the bidding price doubled, exceeding four hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and heading directly towards five hundred thousand.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Someone increased the bid by ten thousand Spirit Stones at once, directly shocking the entire scene.

Instantly, everyone turned their heads to look.

Only to see an elder with crane-white hair slowly stand up, survey the crowd with a glance, and say, "My master wants this Phoenix Flame Grass, I hope everyone can give me, Sun Bu’er, some face, and also give the Flame Dragon Zhou Family some face!"

"Is this Sun Bu’er?"

Sun Bu’er is a loose cultivator, however, he was extremely talented, having reached the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm as early as sixty years ago. Now he is even more unfathomable, comparable to Zhao Ang and Wang Dynasty without question.

Furthermore, it is said that he has long since joined the Flame Dragon Zhou Family, serving as a High-Level Venerated Elder.

Now that he appears here, claiming to bid for his master’s sake, it is certain that the master from the Zhou Family is here as well.

In the eyes of Zhao Ang, Wang Dynasty, and others, if it were just Sun Bu’er, it would not be a concern. But if it involves the Flame Dragon Zhou Family, then the situation becomes somewhat tricky.

Regardless of the outcome, even if they were able to secure the Phoenix Flame Grass, it would offend the Flame Dragon Zhou Family, which would definitely be a loss.

Thinking of this, many patriarchs from aristocratic families and sect elders decided to give Sun Bu’er, or more accurately, the Flame Dragon Zhou Family some face.

But just when Sun Bu’er thought victory was assured, as he clasped his hands in thanks to the crowd, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Upon hearing this discordant voice, everyone present was greatly shocked, turning their heads to look.

Wondering what kind of Great Power dared openly challenge Sun Bu’er and the Flame Dragon Zhou Family?

"Who is this young man, why have I never seen him before?"

"I haven’t seen him either, but I recognize the girl beside him, she seems to be the direct granddaughter of the Ji Family patriarch in Tianyang City, Ji Lingling!"

"Isn’t the Ji Family of Tiangyang City already completely destroyed, how is Ji Lingling appearing here?"

...

Hearing these people’s discussions, Zhao Ang and Baili Jiang both changed their expressions.

They knew something of the internal affairs concerning the Ji Family and the Pu Family.

The deaths of the Pu Family’s father and son, and the master-student pair Du Huoyang, were most likely related to this.

Sun Bu’er, seeing someone dare to ignore his face and suddenly intercept, couldn’t help but become furious.

He forcibly suppressed his anger and questioned, "Young friend, do you know what you’re doing?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, looking at Sun Bu’er coldly as if he were a fool.

"Are you stupid, I’m obviously bidding. What, am I not allowed to bid?"

Upon hearing Li Chen openly insult Sun Bu’er as a fool in public, everyone present was shocked.

To know that this has always been the unchallenged Sun Bu’er, a peak stage Nascent Soul Great Power.

Moreover, he has the Flame Dragon Zhou Family giant backing him up.

Could it be, this young man has a stronger backer than the Flame Dragon Zhou Family?

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, speculating boldly.

Meanwhile, Sun Bu’er was already hopping mad.

He has always been known for having the final say, now someone not only openly challenged him but even insulted him as a fool, resulting in immense fury.

"Damn it, how dare you call me a fool?"

Li Chen shrugged, seriously asking, "Isn’t it true?"

When he spoke, he turned his gaze towards the auction host, Avanti.

"Your auction house is auctioning treasures, I’m bidding, isn’t that in line with the rules?"

Avanti naturally hoped the bidding would be intense, after all, only then could Golden Cauldron Hall make immense profits.

With Li Chen directing his gaze at Avanti, others also turned their eyes towards him.

Avanti showed an old and sly smile and said, "Of course it follows the rules!"

Then, he raised the Wolf Hammer and knocked hard on the table.

"Five hundred thousand, going once, is there a higher bid?"

No sooner had Avanti’s words left his mouth than a loud voice came from behind Sun Bu’er.

"Seven hundred thousand!"

Increasing the bid by one hundred thousand at once, without even batting an eye, the Flame Dragon Zhou Family is indeed extraordinarily wealthy.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a young man with sword-like brows and star-like eyes, exuding a majestic presence, slowly walk out.

"This must be the Great Young Master Zhou Ao of the Flame Dragon Zhou Family, right?"

"Truly a dragon among men of the Zhou family, achieving the Late Stage Golden Core Perfect Realm at such a young age!"

"Hey, what are you thinking, Zhou Family’s young master already entered Nascent Soul Realm three months ago, he’s a true Nascent Soul Great Power!"

"Oh my, really, such a young Nascent Soul Great Power?"

...

Zhou Ao’s gaze swept towards Li Chen, giving a slight bow in greeting.

"Fellow Taoist, my fiancée, the Seventh Princess of the Flame Dragon dynasty, is about to have her coming-of-age ceremony. I wish to gift her this Phoenix Flame Grass as a celebration, I hope you can let it go. Should you visit the Flame Dragon dynasty someday, the Zhou family will warmly welcome and thank you."

If it were other Heaven’s Chosen Sons, upon hearing Zhou Ao’s words, they would surely give him this face.

Furthermore, this is a gift for the Flame Dragon dynasty’s Seventh Princess’s coming-of-age ceremony.

Unfortunately, Li Chen does not buy into it at all.

"Whether you gift your fiancée for her coming-of-age ceremony or not has nothing to do with me. I only know that my maid also needs this Phoenix Flame Grass, I cannot let it go!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone present was shocked once more.

What’s this?

Going against the Flame Dragon Zhou Family, even the Royal Family for a maid, this young man’s head must be in the clouds?

The always polite Zhou Ao, now felt his dignity somewhat challenged.

"Fellow Taoist, you really have a way with words. How could your maid compare to the esteemed Seventh Princess?"

Li Chen sneered coldly, retorting sarcastically.

"In your eyes, she may not compare to the Seventh Princess. But in my eyes, ten Seventh Princesses aren’t worth a single finger of hers!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling was overwhelmingly moved, tears uncontrollably streamed down, rendering her speechless with sobs.

"Damn it, you..."

Zhou Ao was already furious.

However, Li Chen no longer paid him mind, directly shouting his bid.

"One million!"

"Hiss, increasing the bid to one million all at once. What is this young man’s background, it is unbelievably wealthy!"

Everyone present couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Regarding Li Chen’s identity and background, they were filled with immense curiosity.
