Bidding

"With a starting price of 100,000 gold coins, and each bid not less than 1,000 gold coins, the auction for the Tyrant King Sword Technique begins!"

As Tong Jingshuo's words fell, the auction hall momentarily fell silent, but soon bidding voices started to rise one after another.

"110,000 gold coins!"

"120,000 gold coins!"

"150,000 gold coins!"

Each time a voice spoke up, it was quickly drowned out by a higher bid.

The three major families remained silent. The previous bids were just small-scale skirmishes. The real competition would be between the three major families.

"250,000 gold coins!"

When a middle-aged man in the hall spoke out the price of 250,000, many people exclaimed. It was rare for someone to be able to offer such a large sum at once.

Feeling the astonished gazes, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a proud expression. He was thoroughly enjoying the attention.

"250,000! Is there a higher bid?" Tong Jingshuo followed up.

However, when the man said 250,000, most of the people in the hall had already chosen to give up. That price was astronomical for them.

Seeing that no one else spoke up, the man's pride grew even stronger. He was wealthy!

Di Beichen held Bai Li Hongzhuang's shoulder with a calm expression. It was time for the three major families to make their move.

"300,000 gold coins!" Liu Hongshen's voice sounded first.

"300,000 gold coins! Young Master Liu bids 300,000 gold coins!" Tong Jingshuo announced.

He understood that once Liu Hongshen made a bid, the other two major families would follow suit.

The previously proud middle-aged man felt disheartened when he heard Liu Hongshen raise the price by 50,000 in one go. He sat down, realizing that 250,000 gold coins was his limit. He couldn't afford any more, but for the Liu family, it was nothing.

Seeing the man's dejected appearance, nobody ridiculed him. This was the difference between ordinary people and the three major families. The man's financial power was already impressive, far surpassing theirs.

"400,000 gold coins!"

Xie Qiyi suddenly spoke up. Her bid immediately raised the price to 400,000, surprising everyone present. The increase in price was too staggering.

In the VIP box, Xie Qiyi's face was gloomy. Xie Honglang still hadn't returned, and she had limited funds on hand. The only way she could think of was to raise the price drastically to intimidate others.

Perhaps after seeing her determination to obtain the Tyrant King Sword Technique, others would give up the competition. It was a psychological tactic.

As expected, the guests present were stunned by Xie Qiyi's audacity.

"The Xie family is truly rich and bold, bidding 400,000 in one go. It's really incomparable."

"Has the Xie family gained some kind of support recently? First, they openly severed ties with the Yuan family, and now they're making such a big move at this auction. Previously, they spent 200,000 gold coins just to buy a sheepskin scroll to make Bai Li Hongzhuang unhappy."

"I don't know. I haven't received any news recently. Maybe my information network is not well-informed?"

For a while, everyone's minds were filled with various thoughts. If the Xie family really had gained some powerful backing, they would have to reconsider their own stance.
