Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 512

Capítulo 512: Ch-512:Lu Bai, Human Puppet Sect

“Jie jie, I didn’t expect to witness a High-Grade Golden Core Realm Breakthrough Pill today. Truly impressive,” chuckled a man with a sinister voice. Many people felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing his voice. “Lady Ruoxi, hurry up and start the auction. I, the leader of the Human Puppet Sect, would like to bid as well.”

The leader of the Human Puppet Sect stroked his short beard. Clearly, he too was interested in this pill.

Of course, it wasn’t just him. Every force present stared at it with greedy eyes like hungry wolves. This kind of pill was something most had never seen in their lives. Even just licking it might boost their strength significantly!

As soon as the words of the leader of the Human Puppet Sect fell, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

“Heavens, I was wondering whose voice made my skin crawl—so it was the leader of those vicious people.”

“This reclusive guy actually showed up.”

“Well, no one can deny the allure of a 5-Star auction, you know.”

“This Lu Bai feels so sinister.”

“I wonder why the Royal Family and the Major Families even allow their sect to exist in the kingdom. They are too evil.”

“Evil or not, they have not broken the bottom line, and there have been many times when they defended the kingdom from foreign forces.”

Wang Ming furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the discussion below and turned to look at the girls, who had grim expressions on their faces, which heightened his curiosity.

“Hey, what’s up with this guy? That guy seems to be close to the peak of the Golden Core Realm. How come I have never heard about him or his sect?” Wang Ming asked in a curious voice, as he had read many books and was knowledgeable about most top sects in the Black Bamboo Kingdom.

“Of course I’m not surprised. If you don’t specifically mention them, you wouldn’t know. Let me say this: if the sects are righteous, then the Human Puppet Sect could be considered the villain or sore thumb among them,” Feng Mei said, which caused Wang Ming to raise an eyebrow.

Tang Ning looked at Wang Ming and said, “This sect is very reclusive, and no one visits their sect, as the stench of blood and rot is strong there due to them refining human and beast corpses into puppets to fight for them.”

“What? How do they exist? I thought it was against the law and that they would be exterminated,” Wang Ming asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Sigh, if it were that easy, they would have been,” Tang Ning sighed and then continued.

“First of all, they have not crossed the bottom line. The corpses they use are from relatives of the deceased who sell them, or unclaimed corpses left on the battlefield to rot. They do not hunt others for their bodies. Also, they have defended the kingdom multiple times from enemies.”

“Third, and the most important point, is that their strength is no weaker than the Royal Family and the Eight Great Families combined, so they are practically untouchable unless the Black Bamboo Kingdom wants to cripple itself.”

Tang Ning said in a grave voice, looking at Wang Ming, who had a frown on his face.

“I see, no wonder,” Wang Ming mumbled.

“Right, the auction starts now.” Jiang Ruoxi looked cautiously at Lu Bai and then announced.

“500,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

“700,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

“2 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

Within just a few seconds, the price shot up to 10 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

“The Zhang Family bids 20 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

“Those bastards finally made their move, huh,” Tang Nian said with a sneer, and then, one by one, other families also started to take action.

“100 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones, the Wu Family bids!”

“Hah, the Royal Family is also interested, and compared to them in wealth, not even the Jiang Family can compare. It won’t be easy for those bastards from the Zhang Family,” Tang Nian said in an excited voice.

“The Zhang Family bids 120 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

“First Elder, you should let us juniors have these. I, Zhang Mei, part of the matriarch faction of the Zhang Family, bid 160 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones!”

As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone’s heads turned toward the box at the edge.

“Holy shit, so it’s true—there is internal strife in the Zhang Clan. I thought it was just a rumor,” one of the men in the audience said.

Meanwhile, inside the VIP room, the First Elder was gnashing his teeth in anger.

“A mere woman from that weak faction dares to challenge our Patriarch Faction?! Damn bitches!” the First Elder said angrily.

“170,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones!” the First Elder continued to bid.

“180,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones.” Zhang Mei casually outbid him again.

“Great Elder, I want him to die a slow and painful death!” the First Elder growled in a vengeful voice as he looked at the other person in the room.

“Don’t be so impatient. You will have your wish. You can even cripple them first, enjoy them, and then slowly kill them. Wait a bit longer—the plan will commence soon. It’s almost time. Let’s go back to our positions,” the Great Elder said.

“Go ahead and buy everything from the auction for me, you little bitches! Once we take care of you, I’ll just take it from your dead bodies!” the First Elder said as he followed the Great Elder out of the auction hall.

Zhang Mei, who saw them leaving, furrowed her eyebrows. “Why are they leaving? They have enough funds to outbid me.”

She was only raising the price, as she knew in her heart that it was impossible for them to win the bid compared to the faction of the Zhang Family, which had the family heads backing it.

Royal Box

“Damn it, publicly opposing each other—Mei’er should have shown restraint,” Zhang Shiyu said in displeasure.

“Don’t blame my cousin. Anyone who has been suppressed like that in their own clan would react this way,” Wu Jing said in her cousin’s defense.

“Sigh, I’m not blaming her… it’s just… sigh,” Zhang Shiyu rubbed her temples.

“Do you want me to back out and let her have the pills?” Wu Junhao asked.

“Of course not. I am part of the Wu Family now. I need to prioritize the Wu Family over the Zhang Family,” Zhang Shiyu said as she rolled her eyes.

“Good,” Wu Junhao said with a chuckle, but before he could continue, a voice interrupted them.

“Jie jie jie, 250 million Mid Grade Spirit Stones. I hope everyone gives me face and lets me have these pills,” Lu Bai said in a sinister voice as he released his Golden Realm aura to intimidate them.

Many of the VVIP members were displeased by his words and released their own auras to suppress him.

“Jie jie jie.” Lu Bai was not angry as his aura was being suppressed, but in the next moment, his aura skyrocketed.

“!!!” Everyone’s eyelids constricted, and Wu Junhao jumped to his feet.

“Pure Core Realm,” Wu Junhao said with a tremor.
