Chapter 1706 - 1710: Why Can’t They Just Stab Each Other Twice?

Skyless Realm, on the edge of the Sixth District, here lies an ancient circular structure. Legend has it that the entire Skyless Realm was once part of a superpower, and this ancient circular structure was a venue for important announcements. Of course, whether this is true is not verifiable now.

Later, this place was taken over by the Black Rock Auction House and renovated into an auction venue.

In fact, with the virtual system in existence, this auction venue doesn’t hold much significance. After all, no matter how large it is, it pales in comparison to the vastness of the virtual world.

In reality, only a few auction activities have taken place in this venue. It’s more like an auction release place where, before each special auction, a preview event is held to exhibit and demonstrate some very special auction items.

This time, its purpose is to announce the bidding rules for the teleportation quota to the Hong Yun Empire. The announcement is scheduled for the evening, and from the afternoon, a large number of people started to arrive in droves.

In fact, for most people in the Skyless Realm, this auction holds no significance because they don’t need these quotas. The target clients of this auction are not them, but the young geniuses who have obtained the Heavenly Pride Order and are preparing to compete in the Hong Yun Empire.

Of course, besides them, there are also prominent forces within the entire Skyless Realm.

"President Jin, we are counting on you this time!"

"Yes, your power is the greatest among us, and you’re the most qualified to challenge the three giants. We’ll all follow your lead!"

"This time, Xichen has fallen, which is an important opportunity for all the forces in the Skyless Realm to reshuffle. We must not give up."

"Yes, if we act alone, none of us is qualified to compare with them. But if we unite, we might be able to take a piece from their mouth."

"Now without Xichen, we might not lose to them, this is our chance as well!"

The leaders of over twenty organizations gathered together. In fact, this Skyless Realm seems to have twenty-seven organizations, but in reality, only four exist.

Here, the three giants were the first to settle, their development has the longest time, and their foundations are deep, unmatched by the other twenty-four forces. Even after much development, they still can’t compare to the three giants.

Skyless Realm is a place that devours all. As long as there is capability, no leader of any organization would want others to carve up this territory. If they don’t unite, they will inevitably be annexed by the three giants, it’s just a matter of time.

Therefore, a long time ago, the twenty-four forces united. They collectively elected a leader as their representative, enabling them to barely form a stalemate with the three giants.

This representative is named Jin Huang. He is also a Ninth Grade Divine Cultivator, with power ranking just below the three giants. When these forces found the Formation Key deliberately left by Zhang Menglong, the key was handed over to Jin Huang immediately.

"Rest assured, everyone," Jin Huang vowed, "Now that Xichen has left the Skyless Realm, only Dark Hand and Yun Cangzi remain. By uniting, we only lose to the combined strength of the three giants by a margin. Now, they’ve lost a significant portion of their strength, the entire Skyless Realm is no longer dictated by just the two of them, we now have enough power to negotiate with them!"

Jin Huang produced the Formation Key, "As long as we work together, not only do we have the chance to take the share originally belonging to Xichen, but we also have a great chance to gain over 50% of the quota revenue. I need everyone’s full cooperation!"

"President Jin, rest assured, we’re all siding with you this time!"

"That’s right, we’ve been cooperating for many years, and all our interests are tied together. I don’t think anyone would feign compliance."

"I think 50% is too little, we need at least 60%!"

"Yes, if they’re unwilling, we might as well go for another showdown. Even if they join forces, they might not necessarily have the upper hand against our twenty-four forces."

...

"Hmph, a bunch of rabble!" From afar, Dark Hand and Yun Cangzi observed those twenty-four forces, "Looks like today they’re planning to face off against us."

"Hahaha, they’ve probably waited for this day for a long time," Yun Cangzi said, "When Xichen was around, the three of us joined forces, they were no match for us, and thus accepted our resource distribution and management. But now, they think they can stand on their own, even try to step over us, they’re really getting carried away."

"If not for this Universe Ring Pill, today we might not benefit from them," Dark Hand said with a cold tone, "Compared to them, I am more worried about the one who severely injured Xichen. Do you think he’ll show up today?"

"Someone who doesn’t even dare show his face is nothing to fear!" Yun Cangzi was referring to Zhang Menglong, but upon noticing the killing intent emerging from Dark Hand, he suddenly realized that Dark Hand too is someone who doesn’t show his face, making his words seem somewhat like a veiled insult.

"You’re right!" Dark Hand said without much concern, as he naturally knew Yun Cangzi wasn’t referring to him, "If he had this book, today’s teleportation array quota distribution wouldn’t be our concern."

"It’s about time, let’s begin!"

"Hmm!"

...

The lights on the scene dimmed all of a sudden, and all attention shifted to the core position of the auction venue.

With a light as if a Starry Sky, Yun Cangzi appeared at the center of the auction venue. This auction house was originally his enterprise, making him the most suitable spokesperson.

"Welcome everyone to my Black Rock Auction House today," Yun Cangzi smiled gently. Knowing him, it’s hard to imagine he is a person who would betray his teachers and ancestors.

"This time, the superpower is hosting a talent selection. Our Skyless Realm is one of the most important transportation hubs to the selection location, the Hong Yun Empire. Due to the high cost of transportation and limited capacity of the teleportation array, we have temporarily halted the use of the teleportation array and are selling quotas through auction."

Yun Cangzi didn’t fabricate any excuses, everyone knows they are merely trying to profit from the situation, so no matter how well they concoct a reason, it holds no meaning.

"Firstly, we will sell a total of 180 million quotas. Each quota has a corresponding number, and the price for each numbered quota will be different. We will sell these quotas through bidding, and the fairness of the auction will be jointly overseen by our Black Rock Auction House and the Dark Hand organization."

"Wait a moment, I have a question!" Before Yun Cangzi finished speaking, an incongruous voice suddenly rose from the crowd.

"Mr. Jin Huang, do you have something to say?" Yun Cangzi looked at him with a slight, mocking smile.

"Mr. Jin Huang’s Black Rock Auction House and Mr. Dark Hand’s Dark Hand are organizations of the Skyless Realm. It’s appropriate for the two organizations to oversee the quota auction this time, but the other twenty-four of our organizations are also part of the Skyless Realm. If we don’t take on part of the work, wouldn’t it seem somewhat disconnected?"

"Mr. Jin Huang, you jest. This formation was originally established by us, and its daily maintenance and operation are also handled by us, so there’s no need to trouble everyone with involvement."

"No, no," Jin Huang said, "Not long ago, Mr. Xichen happened to entrust some keys to us, asking us to help manage this part of the estate. Without these keys, the formation couldn’t operate, how could we not participate?"

"These people are really boring," Zhang Menglong huddled in the corner watching the show, "Why can’t they just stab each other twice if they have any issues, why such roundabout games?"
