Chapter 28 Money Moves People
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue had been sold, Ye Tian decided not to waste any more time and got up to leave.
After he left, a few sleazy-looking guys exchanged glances and followed him.
Although Ye Tian couldn't outbid the big shots in the private room, the amount of money he had still made many people envious.
Moreover, Ye Tian hasn't even been able to spend this money yet, which means he's a walking fat sheep.
The guys who followed Ye Tian were quick to make money, and now that God had sent them a big fat sheep, how could they possibly miss it?
The auction staff picked up the whale gelatin and respectfully knocked on the door of one of the only two private rooms on the third floor.
After receiving permission, the staff carefully pushed open the door and presented the auction items with both hands.
"Your Excellency Bishop Salas, here is the whale glue you requested."
Salas opened his eyes and glanced at the foul-smelling whale glue, nodding with a hint of satisfaction.
"Put your things down, and the money will be delivered to you today."
The staff member responded and quickly left the private room.
Salas put away the whale glue, showing no further interest in the auction items at his feet.
The reason he condescended to come here was because of this piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Years ago, he overheard that the Pope in the Spirit Hall had been collecting ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.
Although I don't know why His Holiness the Pope would be interested in such things, as his subordinate, I must, of course, search for them diligently.
Salas also knew that eight years ago, the bishop of Soto City was lucky enough to obtain a piece of ancient whale glue. Less than a year after he presented it, the old man who was a decade younger than him was promoted to the Holy City.
When we met again last year, that old fellow's cultivation level had already caught up with Salas'.
He was going to the Holy City to report on his work at the end of the year, and he could take this with him. Salas was also actively seeking progress.
Not long after Ye Tian left the auction, he sensed someone sneaking around following him.
He deliberately took a detour through the city, but the group still followed him at a distance, neither too close nor too far. After a moment's thought, Ye Tian guessed the reason.
He flaunted his wealth at the Tiandou Auction, and these people probably saw him as a cash cow.
Ye Tian quickly made a decision: anyone who dared to rob him should be prepared to leave their life behind!
He glanced in the direction and quickly headed towards the city gate.
"That person spotted us and is heading towards the city gate. Should we give chase?"
"Of course we have to chase after them! Thirty thousand gold soul coins, even if we split it evenly, will be enough for us to live a carefree life for a year and a half!"
"good!"
The five men exchanged glances, their eyes all flashing with the same greed.
Since Ye Tian didn't go to the private room, he's just an ordinary Soul Master like them. The five of them have a very high chance of taking on one of him.
As for the agreed-upon division of the property, that can only be discussed after the others have survived.
If you can get 30,000 gold soul coins all to yourself, why share them with others?
The five reached a simple agreement and quickly followed Ye Tian's retreating figure. After chasing him out of the city, they saw Ye Tian leave the main road and head into the jungle, and the five immediately became restless.
With their martial spirits summoned, the two fastest individuals activated their spirit rings and quickly caught up, blocking Ye Tian's path.
"Kid, hand over all your valuables obediently, and we might let you go."
Ye Tian glanced behind him and saw that three level 48 Soul Masters had subtly blocked his escape route.
"Just the five of you?"
"Boy, do you think you're some kind of Soul Emperor?"
"Let's charge in side by side and kill this guy first!"
Ye Tian's arrogant attitude enraged the five desperados. They shouted and activated their soul rings, unleashing a devastating attack that completely sealed off the area where Ye Tian stood.
The Overlord Spear appeared in Ye Tian's hand. He thrust and swept with the spear, unleashing seemingly ordinary basic spear techniques. The attacks of the desperados could not break through Ye Tian's spear momentum, and they could not even make him move an inch.
"What's wrong? You were shouting so loudly just now, and now you're all exhausted?"
Ye Tian's mocking voice rang out, causing the five desperados to blush.
"What are you being so arrogant about!"
"Die!"
Enraged, the group activated their fourth spirit rings simultaneously, unleashing a skill that destroyed the entire forest within a hundred-meter radius.
Ye Tian felt the pressure and swung his Overlord Spear even more fiercely.
Thousands of spear shadows hurtled towards the group, colliding with their skills. As the countless spear shadows vanished, a smug gleamed in the eyes of the desperate men.
No matter how strong you are, you can only be defeated on the spot by the combined efforts of the few of us!
"Let's take this one last hit and finish off this brat!"
"Watch this!"
The violent energy instantly obliterated the remaining gun shadows and swallowed Ye Tian's position.
When the smoke cleared, the five desperados looked over at the same time, becoming more wary of each other.
The fat sheep is dead; what follows is a battle between these hunters.
The next second, disbelief appeared in their eyes.
The pit in the middle was completely empty.
Where did the big fat sheep go?
The group exchanged glances and decided to take a closer look. One of them craned his neck forward, carefully searching around the pit.
Suddenly, a long spear emerged from the ground and pierced his neck in an instant.
Ye Tian jumped out from underground, his first and second spirit rings empowering the Overlord Spear, and immediately attacked the strongest person.
The spear's power grew stronger and stronger; in just a few moves, Ye Tian had defeated the man with it.
In an instant, only three of the five remained, and the strongest of them was killed.
Having witnessed Ye Tian's strength, the three desperados abandoned all thoughts and turned to flee.
Ye Tian stood holding his gun, his gaze fixed on a tree canopy on his left, a look of seriousness in his eyes.
"The one hiding in the tree, having watched the show for so long, why don't you come out and watch it openly?"
A soft laugh echoed from the treetops, and a middle-aged man dressed in white, carrying a long sword, landed not far from Ye Tian.
"My friend, my name is Chen Xin. I find your marksmanship quite impressive, and I'm itching to test my skills against you. Is that alright?"
Chen Xin spoke with a sincere expression and maintained a safe distance while speaking, trying his best to show that he had no hostility.
"Ye Tian".
Ye Tian gave his name and carefully examined the middle-aged man in front of him.
Chen Xin, the future titled Douluo and guardian of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is also a well-known sword fanatic. Ye Tian never expected to encounter him at just one auction.
However, being able to befriend Chenxin will be a valuable addition to our friendship in the future.
It's not that we can't have a friendly competition.
"Senior Chenxin, a friendly spar is welcome."
Seeing the joy in Chen Xin's eyes, Ye Tian became even more certain. Suddenly, he changed the subject, "I wonder if the sparring you mentioned, senior, refers only to skills, or will it also involve soul power?"
"Of course, it should be a friendly exchange of skills. I've been older than young friend Ye for many years, so wouldn't it be too much of an advantage to use soul power?"
"Senior, how about we go to a quieter place?"
"no problem."
