165: Chen De’s little gift…

“How lewd!”

This thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of everyone present.

However, no one showed it.

Because the thought in their minds was actually quite similar to that of the Myriad Transformation Realm expert.

If there was a difference, it was that he dared to say it, while they were too embarrassed.

Knowing they couldn't succeed, they all reverted to their gentlemanly appearances.

They tacitly understood what had just happened, not mentioning it at all.

Turning the page, as if it had never happened.

After all, they couldn't lose face without even enjoying it, could they?

They couldn't let them have all the bad things.

And so, in the subsequent auction,

Everyone despised their previous actions, wishing they could travel back in time to exact justice.

Counting the numbers, the number of people saying this was about the same as those who had bid earlier…

Soon, the rest of the auction proceeded smoothly.

The moment the auctioneer on stage announced the end of the auction and led people away,

The entire auction hall suddenly became silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

For a moment, it was as if everyone's eyes had changed, like hungry wolves spotting meat.

However, this state only lasted for an instant, fleeting away quickly.

Everyone then resumed their previous amicable and business-like demeanor.

The hall immediately became lively again, even more so than at the peak of the auction earlier.

Only this time, a subtle, unclear meaning seemed to have emerged between the people.

This time, Chen De could guarantee that he absolutely did not intervene to influence them.

If Chen De had intervened, what would have been revealed in their eyes

Would definitely not be this kind of look, but rather full of goodwill.

From Chen De's experience of reading countless books in his previous life and performing countless soul searches in this life,

What should appear next is the classic scene after an auction—a free-for-all!

For Chen De to encounter such a thing right from the start, Chen De was truly…

Not surprised at all!

Some people in the hall worried about themselves, worried about being robbed, losing both wealth and life.

Others worried about others, for example, worrying that others might run away if they weren't paying attention.

And some worried about nothing at all, confident in their own strength to pass safely.

For example, for those Myriad Transformation Realm martial artists, they had no need to worry.

However, according to the rules, fighting inside the auction hall was not allowed.

The person behind this auction was a Void Union Realm martial artist.

Everyone present had to give him face.

So everyone just smiled; no one chose to go out first.

Who didn't know that being the first to leave meant becoming the target of everyone?

If one's strength wasn't enough, they would 100% be focused on.

Then, the Myriad Transformation Realm martial artist who had previously bought the female corpse was the first to make his exit.

“Heh heh, since none of you are leaving, then I, this great master, will go first.

Oh, and let me tell you, body cultivators are indeed body cultivators; the taste is truly different.

The flesh is very firm, truly making one unable to stop…

Just this short while…

Hahahaha!”

Saying this, he walked out, laughing uproariously, one hand carrying the scantily clad figure…

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a flurry of fantasies among those who had failed to bid.

Alas, not getting it meant not getting it; they could only envy and imagine.

As for taking out the opponent?

He's a Myriad Transformation Realm expert, so that can only be handled by another Myriad Transformation Realm expert.

Otherwise, even if the remaining people attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him with just one hand.

With someone taking the lead, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Those Myriad Transformation Realm martial artists were even less interested in playing house with these people here.

Their cultivation was powerful; the Myriad Transformation Realm and the previous realms were two different concepts.

These Myriad Transformation Realm experts all had their own ways of preserving their lives; unless the opponent absolutely crushed them,

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of them.

Moreover, when the time came, this place would close, so they had to leave whether they wanted to or not.

Thus, the Myriad Transformation Realm martial artists withdrew first.

Now, only a group of weaklings pecking at each other remained in the hall, in a stalemate, no one willing to be the first to act.

As the closing time for the auction hall drew nearer, some people naturally realized that waiting until the very end would only make them more passive.

Thus, a portion of people reached a consensus and swarmed out of the venue.

Such actions were certainly effective.

Chen De followed those people and walked out together.

Maintaining the speed appropriate for his current body, he headed outwards.

Once outside, Chen De knew that three people were tailing him.

Chen De's cultivation was clearly displayed as Peak Spirit Opening Realm.

The three followers consisted of two Peak Spirit Opening Realm cultivators and one Eighth-stage Spirit Opening Realm cultivator.

Daring to rob naturally implied a certain confidence in one's own strength.

Otherwise, doing such a thing without any strength, what's the difference from seeking death?

Chen De estimated from their appearance.

They probably coveted the item Chen De had acquired at the auction, which was used to assist in breaking through to the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Chen De, being at the Peak Spirit Opening Realm, could afford it, but that didn't mean these three could.

Chen De's current identity was that of a sect disciple, while these people looked like rogue cultivators.

In the Four Profound Heavens, most rogue cultivators were still very poor and had no backing.

They basically used whatever resources they had and practiced whatever cultivation methods they found.

They couldn't be taught according to their aptitude; for the most part, their strength and talent were inferior to sect disciples.

Because if he had strong talent, he wouldn't be a rogue cultivator.

Of course, there were certainly various other reasons for becoming rogue cultivators, but they were a minority…

These three, presumably, couldn't afford it and wanted Chen De to be charitable.

The masks provided by the auction were completely useless.

What kind of place was this? Who still recognized people by their faces?

Furthermore, Chen De saw that only three people were following him, so he didn't deliberately conceal himself.

At the same time, Chen De's Peak Spirit Opening Realm strength could be said to be among the strongest below the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Only those at the Peak Spirit Opening Realm level were qualified to cause trouble for Chen De.

Chen De was a kind-hearted person; if they came to Chen De for charity, Chen De was naturally willing.

Even if they used the wrong method, Chen De considered them overly eager for charity and could understand.

If it were normal times, he wouldn't mind giving them the item, even if it meant losing everything.

It's just that this item was still useful to Chen De right now, so Chen De naturally wouldn't give it up.

But to see injustice and not act, is to lack courage!

To show Chen De's remorse, he still prepared some small gifts for them.

Thus, as they tracked Chen De to a turn, Chen De suddenly disappeared.

The three saw that the person was gone, their prize flown away!

They immediately panicked, running out to search everywhere.

However, they found nothing.

At this moment, the Eighth-stage Spirit Opening Realm cultivator suddenly pointed at another Peak Spirit Opening Realm cultivator, “Big Brother, why do you have a blood-colored mark on your neck?”

At this moment, this Eighth-stage Spirit Opening Realm cultivator looked at the other one, “Hey, Second Brother, why do you have one on your neck too?

Could it be that you two went out and got matching tattoos behind my back?”

Hearing this, the two Peak Spirit Opening Realm cultivators were somewhat puzzled.

What tattoo?

They looked at each other and found that the other person indeed had a blood-colored mark on their neck.

They didn't remember getting any tattoos, did they?

Then they looked at their third brother.

They discovered that the third brother also had a blood-colored mark on his neck, identical to theirs.
