Chapter 121 Auction's Finale

Compared to the somber atmosphere on Fang Yue's side,

the clown host on stage had already ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

The concept of luck was mysterious and ethereal, but it truly existed.

If one decided to undertake an important life-altering event, gathering items related to luck to enhance it was always a good idea.

This Luck Puppet, although said to absorb the luck of others to briefly enhance the holder's own luck, and the process was rather dark, the effect should be very strong.

At least, under the clown host's grandiose pronouncements, the crowd below was eager to try.

Soon, they offered high prices, and the competition became fierce.

This was not surprising.

As everyone knew, the finale item of an auction was the hardest to obtain, because as the finale, it was the most prized and valuable item of the auction, its price far exceeding the financial capacity of some.

Therefore, their target would often be the second-to-last item.

As the second-to-last item, its value was also considerable, ranking second among the best items in the auction, but its price would be much lower than the finale item.

After all, most people were still saving their money, waiting for the final showdown, and couldn't waste too much financial power on the second-to-last item.

Therefore, those who were competing for the Luck Puppet were basically those who had given up on the final finale item.

Unexpectedly, Ming was also participating in the bidding for this Luck Puppet.

"300 silver stones!"

When the price soared to 270 silver stones, Ming didn't hesitate to follow the price directly.

The high price of 300 silver stones had already deterred many people.

Only three people in the audience were still bidding against Ming.

The price soared from 300 silver stones all the way to 420 silver stones before Ming finally bought it.

Fang Yue didn't expect that Ming would follow the price to the end and actually buy this thing.

"Is this the purpose of your coming to the Blackbird Auction?"

"More or less. The other reason is to see what the finale of this Blackbird Auction is. With the host present, I'm still quite looking forward to it."

Fang Yue frowned slightly. Judging from Ming's composed demeanor, she seemed to have some ideas about the final finale item as well.

"It should be Qingchen and Tian Ruichi. Nothing else will be the finale."

Fang Yue said coldly.

And the clown on stage, after excitedly announcing Ming's acquisition of the Luck Puppet, quickly consoled those in the audience who hadn't bought anything. Then, the lights in the room dimmed.

All the light was focused on the clown and the iron cage covered with a large red cloth that had just been pushed onto the stage.

"Finally, finally, the most exciting moment has arrived."

"I believe many people haven't heard the news and don't know that I, one of the four hosts, am here to preside over this Blackbird Auction, right?"

"In fact, even I myself only received the news temporarily and was arranged to host this auction. Therefore, regarding what the finale item is, before it's fully revealed, I'm just as clueless as everyone else."

"Then, without further ado, let us all witness together the final finale item of this auction!"

The clown waved his hand, and the red cloth fluttered up, revealing the iron cage below!

"Impossible?!"

Fang Yue's pupils shrank, and he stood up in shock, blurting out loudly.

His eyes involuntarily turned pitch black, and a black halo suddenly appeared behind him! He was so excited that he almost directly exploded with power!

This should have been a very conspicuous action, but there were countless people in the audience doing the same thing! No one noticed Fang Yue's abnormality at all.

The clown host, as far as he could see, almost everyone had their mouths wide open, looking dumbfounded.

This effect pleased him greatly.

"It seems that the finale item prepared by the master is very attractive."

"Then, let me see, who exactly is it that makes almost everyone present react in such a way."

However, when the clown host turned his head and saw the person in the iron cage, he also froze in place, and the words he had prepared to stir up the atmosphere suddenly stalled.

Because, imprisoned in the iron cage was… [Extreme Ice Saintess] Wei Ba!

Extreme Ice Saintess Wei Ba was a genius girl who had only recently emerged from the Extreme Ice Sect.

Her talent was monstrous, and her fame was soaring.

Apart from Mu Liu, the [Prodigy Eccentric] of equal renown in the audience, almost no one could compete with her.

The two women were known as the [Twin Pride of Qingcheng], and they were the two most famous and hotly discussed women in the capital recently.

To put it in real-world terms, they were the superstars among stars, celebrity-level.

And now, the Extreme Ice Saintess, who was regarded as a treasure by the Extreme Ice Sect and almost treated as the next sect master, was now imprisoned in the iron cage of the Blackbird Auction, becoming the final finale item of this auction!

How could this not shock people, how could it not make people drop their jaws in disbelief.

"Wei Ba…"

Ever since Fang Yue entered the capital, he had been trying to find a way to contact Wei Ba, but he hadn't been able to reach her.

But he had always heard about Wei Ba's deeds in the capital, her treatment in the Extreme Ice Sect, and he had never imagined that he would reunite with Wei Ba in this way.

The black halo behind him smoothly converged on Fang Yue's right hand, condensing into a sword!

But just then, a hand suddenly rested on his arm.

It was… Ming!

"You want to stop me?"

Murderous intent pressed down like a landslide.

Ming was stunned on the spot, lost her mind for a moment, before recovering and lowering her voice, "Don't be impulsive! I know the person on stage is Wei Ba, your friend, and you want to save her too. But, taking action here is the worst possible choice. Don't forget what I said before, the Wren Tower has a rain-level expert guarding it! Although they may not be on-site, they won't be too far away."

In addition, there was something Ming didn't say.

That was, if Fang Yue acted now, she had almost no chance of survival.

Her identity as Nian Tianjiao's new wife was seen by most as being high and mighty, and no one dared to offend her.

But in the eyes of a rain-level… no, even just a cloud-level expert, she was nothing.

Therefore, if Fang Yue were to cause trouble, she would have to leave the scene immediately and clear herself of any involvement first.

This was the real reason why Ming stopped Fang Yue from going berserk.

The commotion here was not small, and logically speaking, people should have noticed something was wrong long ago.

But because Wei Ba was being auctioned off as an auction item, the matter was so shocking that people hadn't recovered yet, so naturally they wouldn't notice the situation here.

Moreover, compared to Fang Yue's small disturbance, the person who suddenly roared and jumped out of his seat on the other side was the one who truly attracted everyone's attention.

"You actually kidnapped Wei Ba! I was wondering why I couldn't find her for so many days! Let her go, or the Extreme Ice Sect will level the Wren Tower tomorrow!!"

This voice?!

Fang Yue turned his head abruptly, and his whole body suddenly froze.

"Ni Dongmei?!"
