System's Super Sect Chapter 927 - 870: The Visitors Are Hostile (First Update)

Moments slipped by slowly.

Suddenly, Chen Xie on the auction house's second floor shot to his feet.

He sauntered over to the window overlooking the ground floor, narrowing his eyes to peer through a small opening at the entrance.

After ten breaths, the Jisheng Hall group stepped into the hall!

Qian Jun, Evil Moon Princess, and Three Extremes advanced steadily inside, while every Earth Unrestricted Expert stood up respectfully to welcome them as they moved.

Three Extremes kept his icy demeanor unchanged.

Evil Moon Princess remained as seductive as before.

Qian Jun continued his friendly manner, lifting a hand to wave at the crowd right after entering the auction venue.

Yet after brief greetings, Qian Jun scanned the area, his piercing eyes ultimately locking onto Chen Xie's spot upstairs.

Through the window's narrow gap, Chen Xie and Qian Jun locked eyes, freezing in place at that instant.

"Such grandeur!"

Qian Jun declared, as if admiring the auction's lavish display.

Right away, agreeing voices chimed in.

"Lord Qian Jun, nearly every Five-star Influence in the Red Leaf Sect domain has gathered. They all crave a glimpse of what sets the Vortex Map from the Immortal Sect's Sect Leader apart."

"With everyone present, this might be the grandest auction ever. We're just worried the treasures won't live up to the hype, leaving us disappointed!"

"Boasting as the Red Domain’s top again, with the Special Ability of the Four-Vortex Vortex Map. Who knows what scheme the Immortal Sect is plotting."

As the murmurs of agreement swelled, Chen Xie stepped back from the window.

He perfectly grasped the implication behind Qian Jun’s remark.

Yet Chen Xie’s loyalty belonged solely to the Immortal Sect.

Solely to the Sect’s members!

Be it Jisheng Hall or You Country, Chen Xie dismissed them entirely.

As Chen Xie retreated from the window, Qian Jun shifted his gaze away, then took a seat in the front row amid the throng.

The very next instant, the hall's central spotlight blazed brighter.

In the seating areas of the Five-star Influences, the illumination started to fade.

Soon, a strikingly graceful and stunning woman glided to the auction's heart, offering a warm welcome to all.

"I welcome all seniors to this auction. Jinzhi Hall feels deeply privileged. Today, I, Shui Yue, boldly represent Jinzhi Hall in hosting this event. Should anything displease the seniors, please overlook it kindly."

As Shui Yue concluded, Qian Jun cut in abruptly: "Jinzhi Hall’s master certainly puts on quite the show!"

These words plunged the auction house's mood into icy tension instantly.

Countless gazes bulged wide, hungry for the unfolding drama.

At the auction center, Shui Yue flashed a hasty apologetic smile, replying steadily without flinching: "The senior has misunderstood. After all, the Vortex Map takes center stage here. The master chose not to steal its thunder, so I seek your understanding. Now, let’s move on to the auction items ahead—they’ll surely amaze you!"

With that, Shui Yue shrewdly denied Qian Jun further room to speak, gesturing for the first treasure to be displayed.

Noting Qian Jun held back, Shui Yue exhaled in relief, then eyed the Vortex Map on offer.

A brilliant azure Four-Vortex Vortex Map materialized before all eyes.

Yet it appeared utterly ordinary.

Just like any standard Vortex Map.

For a moment, the Earth Unrestricted Experts fixated on it exchanged baffled glances.

"Doesn’t look any different?"

"A Water Attribute Four-Vortex Vortex Map, top-notch quality, but nothing scarce."

"Is the Immortal Sect at their old tricks?"

"Watch closely—something’s coming. If this Vortex Map matches the common ones, Jisheng Hall’s crew will object first."

As the whispers intensified and unrest brewed, Shui Yue raised her voice to present the Vortex Map.

"Behold, a Four-Vortex Vortex Map of superior caliber, boosting Vein Technique by ninety percent! Still, I know the seniors seek not just its excellence, but its Special Ability. Allow me to reveal it!"

Her words quieted the murmurs substantially.

Shui Yue pressed on swiftly, "This Vortex Map holds a remarkable Special Ability—Water Transformation! Seniors may wonder its purpose. In essence, for a quarter-hour, you turn to water, shrugging off all assaults, undetectable even by a Celestial Unrestricted’s Perception."

Shui Yue’s explanation sparked fresh discussions among many Earth Unrestricted Experts, though skepticism lingered for most.

Be it nullifying every attack.

Or evading Celestial Unrestricted Perception.

Both claims rang suspiciously overblown.

They echoed the Immortal Sect’s wild assertions of Red Domain supremacy.

Can anyone simply proclaim themselves Red Domain’s finest?

Can Earth Unrestricted Experts’ Perception be so easily dodged?

While doubts persisted widely, Shui Yue declared boldly, "If seniors remain unconvinced, test the ability publicly after buying the Vortex Map. Should it prove false, Jinzhi Hall vows hundredfold repayment today!"

"Hundredfold compensation!"

"That’s a bold guarantee."

Shouts of surprise erupted, and skeptical chatter faded away.

Of course, disbelief hadn’t vanished.

They simply bided their time for the drama, eager to verify Water Transformation’s truth!

Grasping the moment, Shui Yue announced, "The opening bid for this first Vortex Map stands at 100,000 White Crystals, with raises of at least 10,000 White Crystals. Moreover, the master decrees: if the final price falls below 300,000 White Crystals, the map gets pulled!"

She paused there.

Her eyes swept the crowd, hunting for the initial bidder.

Yet hesitation gripped everyone—no hands shot up promptly.

Typical Four-Vortex Vortex Maps topped out at 100,000 White Crystals, so Jinzhi Hall’s 100,000 starting bid felt overly ambitious.

"300,000!" Amid the stall, Qian Jun called out.

Shui Yue beamed with joy, proclaiming, "Lord Qian Jun of Jisheng Hall offers 300,000 White Crystals. Any higher bids?"

But as she spoke, Qian Jun’s follow-up words halted her smile cold.

"If it’s bogus, don’t forget that hundredfold payout—if you can’t pay..." Qian Jun sought pretexts to haggle, never dreaming Jinzhi Hall would pledge hundredfold returns.

Thirty million as hundredfold!

Not even Jisheng Hall’s master could muster that lightly, much less tiny Jinzhi Hall!

Only a Domain Master might toss out such sums effortlessly!

Anticipation for chaos lit every face.

Though Qian Jun trailed off, all grasped his unspoken threat.

Seeing Shui Yue falter, a voice jeered: "Backing down already?"

Snapping to, Shui Yue glanced upstairs, spotting the master’s watchful gaze; resolve flooded her instantly. She inhaled deeply and affirmed resolutely, "The senior need only purchase it. Any issue, and Jinzhi Hall guarantees hundredfold compensation!"

Qian Jun smirked faintly, refusing to relent, upping the ante: "Then, 500,000 White Crystals!"

His face mirrored steely conviction.

As though certain the Vortex Map was counterfeit!

Nearby, Evil Moon Princess giggled softly, delighting in the mischief.

Shui Yue’s features twisted in alarm.

She detected a plot thickening!

Still, glancing up, she caught the master’s nod of approval!

The master commanded the sale!

Trembling slightly, Shui Yue called for higher bids once more; silence answered. She hammered the gavel, awarding the inaugural Vortex Map to Qian Jun.
