Chapter 1516 - Silver Masked Man, Su Mo?
Chapter 1516: Silver Masked Man, Su Mo?
The bow was a rather uncommon weapon. After all, there were few martial artists who used the bow.
However, there was close to 100,000 people at the auction and there were quite a few bow users in the auction hall. How could these people possibly pass over a Middle Honorable Bow?
The moment Gong Zhong’s words fell, a fierce competition of bids begin as the value of the Golden Wreck Bow shot up exponentially.
“Awesome!”
Su Mo was jumping for joy in room 29. With the way things were going right now, there would not be any problems selling the bow for 2000 Middle Spiritual Crystals.
“Su Mo, if you want the price to go even higher, you can participate in the auction and raise the bid!” Lyu Gang laughed.
“Raise?” Su Mo’s was startled but he immediately understood what Lyu Gang meant. Su Mo was too focused on what he was going to earn and he had completely forgotten about such a strategy.
He could participate in the bid and raise the price such that the eventual value of the bow would increase.
With such a strategy, the organisers of the auction hall would not only not be surprised, they would also be delighted to see that happen.
This was a common strategy used by many auction halls.
“I will wait and see how it goes!” Su Mo nodded his head. The bidding had just begun and there was no need for Su Mo to participate now.
Su Mo was elated. However, in the other room, Yang Tiancheng, Yang Tianwei and the green-shirted lady were standing upright in their seats.
“Isn’t this Senior Wu Ren’s Golden Wreck Bow?” With her eyes and mouth frozen wide in an expression of stunned shock, the green-shirted lady asked. She was very familiar with the Golden Wreck Bow, it was Wu Ren’s weapon.
As a pro-disciple of the Empty Sky Sect, Wu Ren’s weapon was very familiar to many in the Empty Sky Sect.
This was because Wu Ren was the only martial artist who used a bow as his weapon.
“It is Wu Ren’s Golden Wreck Bow!” Yang Tiancheng’s face darkened.
“Asshole, Wu Ren has died. Who auctioned off his Golden Wreck Bow?” Yang Tianwei glowered under his breath as a murderous glare flashed through his eyes.
Yang Tianwei was close to Wu Ren and now that Wu Ren had been killed and his weapon auctioned off. It was natural that he’d be angry.
“Could it be Su Mo?” Yang Tiancheng’s eyes were riddled with his confusion. Wu Ren had been killed by Su Mo at the Demon’s Domain previously and that was a highly possible conclusion.
Of course, Yang Tiancheng did not personally see Su Mo retrieve the Golden Wreck Bow. There was a crowd at the Demon’s Domain back then and it was also highly possible that the Golden Wreck Bow was kept by another person.
“Are you sure?” Killing intent flashed in Yang Tianwei’s eyes. If Su Mo was at the auction hall, Yang Tianwei would personally capture Su Mo himself.
The sect had placed a bounty of 10,000 Middle Spiritual Crystals on Su Mo. This greatly incentivised many disciples to capture him.
However, Su Mo had been constantly in the True Path Sect and there was nothing the Empty Sky Sect disciples could do.
“I am not sure. It could also be Lyu Gang!”
Yang Tiancheng shook his head. Then, a sudden thought crossed his mind as he recalled the silver-masked man beside Su Mo.
“That silver masked man… it couldn’t be Su Mo, right?”
Yang Tiancheng wasn’t dumb and his eyes flashed brilliantly. The more he thought of the possibility, the more likely it looked to be.
Firstly, the silver-masked man was with Lyu Gang, meaning that it was highly likely that the masked man was a True Path Sect disciple. Furthermore, Su Mo wouldn’t dare to reveal himself wherever he went now in case some Empty Sky Sect member recognised him. Therefore, it was highly likely that Su Mo wore a mask.
Besides, that masked man’s figure seemed to be very much like Su Mo’s.
Previously, Yang Tiancheng did not give too much attention to the masked man. However, now that such a thought had crossed his mind, he was almost 99 percent sure that the masked man was Su Mo.
“If it really is Su Mo, then he won’t be returning to the True Path Sect anymore!” Yang Tiancheng snickered as a sinister smile stretched across his face.
“Senior Tiancheng, you can finally exact your revenge!” The green-shirted lady smiled.
“Hmph! He didn’t walk the safe path and voluntarily chose hell’s road!” Yang Tiancheng coldly laughed. He couldn’t wait to reveal Su Mo’s identity.
“Senior Tiancheng, I heard Senior Li Hentian said previously that Su Mo has broken through to the Martial Honorable Realm. Su Mo’s strength should have increased significantly, otherwise, he couldn’t have escaped from Senior Li Hentian!” The green-shirted lady warned Yang Tiancheng.
“Indeed, Su Mo is in an exceptional genius, I can’t be careless!” Yang Tiancheng nodded his head. He was not blinded by revenge.
“Relax, with me around, even if Su Mo has three heads and six limbs, he won’t be able to escape!”
Yang Tianwei confidently proclaimed. The reason why Su Mo was able to escape from Senior Li’s hands previously was completely because Senior Li had been to careless and he didn’t know that Su Mo had broken through to the Martial Honorable Realm. Otherwise, how could Su Mo have escaped!
“Mm, with seniors around, that Su Mo won’t be able to cause a scene here!” Yang Tiancheng nodded. He was completely confident of Yang Tianwei’s strength.
In the Empty Sky Sect, no one else was a match for Yang Tianwei aside form Li Hentian.
Although Su Mo’s fighting strength was extraordinary, Yang Tiancheng did not believe that Su Mo had the abilities necessary to fight Yang Tianwei.
“Let’s wait until the auction is over before we take action!” The green-shirted lady said. It wouldn’t be good for them to confront Su Mo during the auction.
Although they were disciples of the Empty Sky Sect, the Ancient Tong City that they were currently in was under the control of the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe. If they disrupted the auction by confronting Su Mo, the Sixth Chamber of Commerce would not let them off easily.
“Mm, we will act right after the auction ends!” Yang Tiancheng and Yang Tianwei agreed.
At that point, the bid for the Golden Wreck Bow was about to reach its final stages. The value of the bow had been raised to over 2000 Medium Spiritual Crystals.
With such a huge price, almost 99 percent of the initial participants had given up bidding and there were only two people left fighting over the bow.
“2200 Middle Spiritual Crystals!” A deep voice echoed through the auction hall from room 1.
“2300 Middle Spiritual Crystals!” A sweet woman’s voice came from room 7.
In room 29, Su Mo’s eyes glowed brightly. It was time for him to take action now that the bidding had reached such a stage.
“Su Mo, I think you shouldn’t raise it any further!” Lyu Gang suddenly called out and looked helplessly at Su Mo.
“Why?” Su Mo was confused. Lyu Gang had suggested to Su Mo to raise the bid previously, but now Lyu Gang was stopping him. What is he doing?
“Room 1 is occupied by a Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe man. Only the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribesmen are allowed to occupy room 1!”
With a dark face, Lyu Gang continued, “As for room 7, it is occupied by Senior Yi Wei, judging from the voice!”
“Is that so?” Su Mo was slightly annoyed. So what if the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe member and Senior Yi Wei were bidding for the bow? Did that mean he couldn’t participate as well? What logic was that? He wasn’t breaking any rules!
“2700 Middle Spiritual Crystals!” Su Mo didn’t hesitate before calling out his bid, raising the value to 2700 Middle Spiritual Crystals.
Of course, Su Mo wasn’t blindly raising the bid. If the other two participants did not follow through, then there wouldn’t be any fight.
Su Mo had carefully considered it before raising the bid to 2700. Senior Yi Wei and the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe member in room 1 did not hesitate before bidding and they seemed very clear of their decisions.
Hence, Su Mo could conclude that the current price of the bid had not reached the two’s maximum level of bid.
Furthermore, Su Mo did not change his voice at all and he wasn’t afraid of being recognised by Yang Tiancheng. He knew that once the Golden Wreck Bow and the Void Wrecking Golden Arrows appeared in the auction, he would be recognised by Yang Tiancheng. He wasn’t dumb.
