It was still the young maiden from earlier. She walked up to Qin Chen and took the Elemental Crystal Card from his hand.

However, compared to before, her attitude was far more respectful.

Many eyes turned towards this direction, clearly wanting to see if Qin Chen could really produce thirty-seven billion Elemental Crystals.

Even the auctioneer didn't proceed with the next auction item. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The young maiden swiped the card on the Primordial Artifact, deducting thirty-seven billion Elemental Crystals from the Elemental Crystal Card inside Qin Chen's card. After successfully processing the payment, she handed the card back to Qin Chen.

"Congratulations." She congratulated him.

"He actually paid it."

Many people were shocked, although many had already assumed the outcome. Without Elemental Crystals, recklessly bidding here could lead to serious consequences.

But witnessing it personally was still astonishing.

Over eighty billion Elemental Crystals!

What a terrifying amount of wealth?

Stacked together, it could form a mountain of Elemental Crystals a hundred meters high.

The young maiden respectfully handed the red wooden box containing the Mysterious Leaf to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen smiled slightly and took it.

He did not open it; now was not the time to examine the leaf. He would wait until things were settled and then investigate it in peace when he returned.

The auction continued.

The first finale auction item was already presented, indicating that the auction was nearing its end.

The second finale item was brought up next.

But at this moment.

A middle-aged man in a green robe quietly entered the auction and approached Sun Juetian.

Sun Juetian slightly furrowed his brows: "What matter must you report at this time?"

He recognized the man as a member of their Great Star Telekinesis Master Association.

The man in the green robe lowered his voice as much as possible: "President, if it were an ordinary matter, I wouldn't have come, but this matter is too significant."

Sun Juetian's brows furrowed further: "What on earth is it?"

Hearing the man in green speak, a very bad premonition arose in Sun Juetian's mind.

The man in green looked at Qin Chen sitting in position No. 531, then said: "Just now, more than thirty Telekinesis Master strong men, including Wanxing, as well as Chen Yuan and Mu Feng, were killed."

"What?!"

Sun Juetian, upon hearing this, couldn't control himself and exclaimed aloud, his eyes wide open.

The auction was momentarily disrupted.

Many eyes turned to look; they all heard Sun Juetian's exclamation.

Zhang Yuanfeng's brows revealed a hint of displeasure: "Chairman Sun, what matter causes such a loss of composure?"

Sun Juetian's mind went blank.

He didn't even have the time to respond to Zhang Yuanfeng.

He stared at the man in green, his voice slightly hoarse as he asked: "Who did it?"

Who could be so bold!

The man in green directly pointed out Qin Chen and Qin Qi: "It was the two of them. They forced their way in from outside the association."

"The many elders like Wanxing were killed because they failed to stop the two of them within the association."

"Killed right inside the association?"

Sun Juetian's gaze turned a bit sinister, following the direction pointed by the man in green. When he saw it was Qin Chen, his eyes narrowed.

He looked at the man in green: "You're saying that person is him?"

The man in green nodded: "To be precise, it wasn't just him; the person sitting next to him too. The two of them are accomplices."

A wave of oppressive telekinesis pressure suddenly surged up from Sun Juetian's body.

Zhang Yuanfeng, seeing Sun Juetian ignoring him, felt annoyed and immediately raised his voice: "Chairman Sun! I require an explanation."

Although Sun Juetian is the Great Star Dynasty's number one Telekinesis Master, the truly formidable aspect of the Great Star Dynasty isn't Chanting the Dao, but Martial Arts.

Hongtu Commerce harbors various powerful figures; others might fear Sun Juetian, but Zhang Yuanfeng does not.

The auction was completely interrupted.

The various powerful figures gathered at the auction now all looked at Sun Juetian.

Whispers filled the venue.

Sun Juetian looked at Zhang Yuanfeng: "Sorry, Steward Zhang, I lost my composure, but there is a reason for it. I just received news."

"Moments ago, over thirty Telekinesis Masters of my Great Star Telekinesis Master Association were killed within the association!"

"I must handle this now, and for any losses caused to Hongtu Commerce, I, Sun Juetian, will bear the responsibility."

If it were anything else, Sun Juetian would definitely endure until the auction ended.

He had to respect Hongtu Commerce.

But this matter, Sun Juetian could not tolerate.

It must be resolved now, immediately, at once!

The venue was in uproar.

All eyes widened in shock.

They were attending an auction, yet below, thirty Telekinesis Masters had died?

No wonder Sun Juetian was so out of sorts!

"Just now, I seemed to sense some commotion but didn't think more of it, and certainly didn't expect such a thing to have happened."

"Indeed, it was too unexpected; who could have the audacity for such madness?"

"Breaking into their headquarters and killing people—it's sheer insanity."

…

Zhang Yuanfeng no longer attempted to stop them.

In fact, if it had been anyone else, he would have immediately ordered them removed. Since Sun Juetian had said as much, Zhang Yuanfeng took the opportunity to accept a favor from him.

"Then please leave, Chairman Sun; the auction will continue," Zhang Yuanfeng said.

Sun Juetian shook his head: "The murderer who killed the Telekinesis Masters of our Great Star Telekinesis Master Association is right inside this auction now."

What!

All eyes froze—right within the venue?

Sun Juetian's gaze fell directly on Qin Chen: "You scoundrel, how dare you!"

He shouted thunderously!

"Boom."

A ferocious wave of telekinesis surged towards Qin Chen, making the atmosphere of the entire venue instantly become tense and volatile.

The air was heavy with tension.

Seeing Qin Chen, numerous eyes froze again—was it really him?

"This guy forcibly broke through from the Great Star Telekinesis Master Association?"

Many were terrified.

The face of the person sitting next to Qin Chen turned instantly pale—damn it, the whole time, he had been sitting next to two freshly minted murderers?

Qin Chen raised his eyes, staring fearlessly at Sun Juetian: "I had intended to resolve this matter after the auction ended, but since you've already stepped forward, let's settle it now."

"How will you account for over thirty lives?!" Sun Juetian roared.

"I never intended to. I never kill without reason."

"Now, I offer you a chance."

Qin Chen looked at Sun Juetian and spoke calmly.
