Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2280: Chapter 2315: I Must Wait for It

Bai Wuxin is the Young Leader of the Bai Family, the future master and patriarch of the Bai Family, and his decision basically represents the Bai Family’s intention.

Ding Fan felt completely at ease, followed Bai Wuxin back to the private box at the auction, and the auction had already begun, with two treasures already sold.

Ding Fan wasn’t concerned about these treasures; there were many treasures in the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin, although he couldn’t open it now, it was only a matter of time. Besides, his current realm was too low, even if he obtained powerful treasures, it would not significantly increase his combat power.

Bai Wuxin warmly invited Ding Fan to bid, also encouraging Leng Yue to bid, while Bai Hui was filled with excitement and won several treasures, though they were just some low-value items, around ten million each.

The auction here was much more advanced than that in Daozhen City. Ding Fan saw that a single auction of Limitless Fruit included hundreds, while the rest of the auction items were treasures worth tens of millions or even billions, with items worth a few million being rare.

Ding Fan, unable to resist Bai Wuxin’s enthusiasm, also placed bids. He had his eyes on a type of spiritual medicine, which is a supplement for the soul, exactly what he needed right now.

However, this spiritual medicine wasn’t particularly rare, and the final price was eighty million black obsidian, which was also considered as accepting Bai Wuxin’s goodwill without causing the Bai Family excessive expense.

The subsequent auction items dazzled Ding Fan, with many being unheard-of treasures. Bai Wuxin intended for Ding Fan to keep bidding, but Ding Fan resolutely declined, and Bai Wuxin, understanding Ding Fan’s thoughts, did not persuade him further.

Bai Wuxin was quite intrigued, generously purchasing a high-quality battle armor for eight hundred million black obsidian, gifting it directly to Bai Hui, who was moved to tears. She had never felt her father’s love since childhood, and this was a sort of compensation.

"Elder Bai."

A guard suddenly entered, whispered in Bai Wuxin’s ear: "Wang Jian wishes to speak with you."

Ding Fan’s mouth curled into a slight smile, while Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong appeared somewhat nervous; Wang Jian was about to set terms for Bai Wuxin.

Bai Wuxin glanced at Ding Fan, the corners of his mouth lifted in a slight smile, then he waved and said, "Tell Brother Wang that I am currently with Young Master Ding and cannot leave. I will visit and apologize later."

"Huh?"

The eyes of Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame lit up. Bai Wuxin’s response made it clear he intended to protect Ding Fan. He even mentioned Ding Fan’s name, proving he knew the whole story, and by not meeting Wang Jian, he was clearly stating his position.

The guard exited, and Ding Fan’s mind was at ease. Although the Bai Family’s power was not as strong as the Wang Family’s, both were at an equal tier and depended on the Qingyuan Sect, which meant unless the Wang Family wanted war with the Bai Family, they wouldn’t foolishly make a move.

A moment later, the guard returned, delivering Wang Jian’s message. Initially, he intended to speak quietly to Bai Wuxin’s ear, but Bai Wuxin waved his hand and said, "Young Master Ding and his friends are my friends. There are no secrets; we can speak openly."

The guard honestly stated, "Wang Jian asked me to tell you that Young Master Ding killed one of their Wang Family members. If Young Leader Bai insists on protecting Young Master Ding, it will affect future interactions between the two families."

"Hahaha~"

Bai Wuxin coldly laughed and said, "Tell Wang Jian that Young Master Ding is the benefactor who saved my daughter, a friend of mine, Bai Wuxin. There’s no need to say more. After speaking, return immediately."

Bai Wuxin’s attitude was clear, unhesitatingly severing ties with the Wang Family. Ding Fan quickly showed gratitude to Bai Wuxin with a bowed hand in private, to which Bai Wuxin responded with a slight smile, seemingly unconcerned.

After the guard conveyed the message to Wang Jian and returned, the auction continued and was nearing its end, with the last few treasures being auctioned.

At this moment, Ding Fan and the other two were quite relaxed, just waiting for the auction to end so they could go to Sirius City.

The subsequent auction items turned out to be the most precious, with top-grade cultivation treasures appearing and prices rising rapidly, even reaching sixty billion black obsidian, which secretly amazed Ding Fan and the other two.

"Alright, this is our penultimate auction item."

As a beautiful woman raised her hand in the auction room below, a strong man took out a treasure wrapped in red cloth, its contents remained unseen to all. The lovely auctioneer smiled and said, "This auction item is very interesting; it was obtained from a historic relic, and... our auction house cannot identify it. If anyone knows, please tell us and broaden our knowledge as well."

"Unidentifiable?"

Many people immediately felt curious. Ding Fan thought this phrase sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Then he suddenly remembered, when he bid on primordial blood at the Tianyuan Auction House in the Northern Wastelands, it was described as unidentifiable.

Eager to know what it was, he focused his gaze on the auctioneer as she lifted the red cloth, revealing a massive purple-gold beast claw to the crowd.

Yes, it was a gigantic purple-gold beast claw!

A strong man held a massive purple gold beast claw, clearly from a powerful beast, and it had been severed. The claw gleamed with a purple gold color, as if cast from metal, covered with hard fur that emitted a metallic cold light. Even though it was just a severed claw, the pressure it exerted was suffocating for many, revealing the terrifying nature of its owner.

"This severed claw is at least from a Level Seven Beast King!"

Bai Wuxin’s eyes sparkled as he murmured, "This indeed is a Treasure, with three drops of blood essence inside keeping it from decay and maintaining a strong aura. If it truly is a Beast King’s Severed Claw, then it’s incredibly precious..."

"Sss~"

Suddenly, he felt something was off. He turned to look at Ding Fan, only to see him panting heavily like a bull, muscles bulging, eyes flashing green, and his body emitting an indescribable intimidating aura, as if he had become a giant humanoid beast.

Bai Wuxin hurriedly stepped forward to catch Ding Fan, exclaiming, "What’s happening to you, Young Master Ding?"

Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong, like everyone else, were baffled by what was happening to Ding Fan. They all watched Ding Fan, curious to know why he had suddenly transformed.

Ding Fan ignored the people in front of him. He only focused his green eyes on the purple gold severed claw, rasping in a hoarse whisper, "I must get it at any cost. I definitely must get it."

This wasn’t the first time Ding Fan had such a reaction; the last time was at the Northern Wastelands’ Tianyuan Auction House, triggered by a drop of primordial blood essence.

Back then, when the primordial blood essence appeared, the Sirius inheritance behind him lit up, and the inherited Divine Technique was automatically activated. His entire body surged with blood, his mind filled with an intense desire for possession, determined to acquire that blood.

Now, the blood within him was rioting again, and the Sirius mark on his soul sent a strong message to acquire the beast claw.

The last time, the primordial blood essence he obtained at the Northern Wastelands’ Tianyuan Auction House granted him the Sirius Howl as a benefit. This time, the beast claw had significant potential benefits for him, so once again, Ding Fan wanted to shout to bid for the claw at any cost.

He forced himself to calm down, turning his head to Bai Wuxin with a strained smile, saying, "Young Leader, this beast claw is very useful to me. I want to bid for it, but this time I will bid myself. Although I don’t have much Black Obsidian with me, I still have tens of billions."

Looking at the young man before him, Bai Wuxin’s evaluation of Ding Fan rose several notches. The oppressive aura emitted by Ding Fan, at the Third Level of the Divine Realm, surprisingly made Bai Wuxin, a Sixth Level expert, feel somewhat constrained. This youth was clearly not simple. If he truly was a direct descendant of the Sirius Clan, his bet this time would pay off with unimaginable future returns.

He quickly decided, saying firmly, "Since Ding Fan values this matter so much, go ahead and bid. Even if you don’t have enough Black Obsidian, it doesn’t matter. I’ll cover whatever you lack."

"Alright!"

Ding Fan said nothing more, nodding forcefully, lowering his head to look inside the auction room. The beautiful auctioneer began announcing the starting bid, which was fifteen billion Black Obsidian—a very high base price.

The people sitting in the hall below were mostly from minor forces, without the qualifications to participate in competitive bidding. They could only watch the spectacle unfold.

At this moment, bidding started from the VIP seats above. This beast claw was undoubtedly at least a Beast King’s claw, possibly an Ancient Beast King’s claw. Moreover, the three drops of blood essence inside were inherently valuable.

The price quickly rose to twenty-five billion Black Obsidian, with bidding voices rising one after another. But Ding Fan had no intention of bidding; he sat quietly, coldly watching the scene before him.

Crimson Flame, Zhong Zhiyong, and others were somewhat anxious, watching Ding Fan, waiting for him to start bidding.

The price continued to rise, reaching thirty billion Black Obsidian. By now, the number of bidders had sharply decreased, with only three VIP seats’ guests still participating.

Bai Wuxin carefully observed the scene and then explained, "The current bid is by the guest in VIP seat number five, which is the Zhang Family, a Sixth-level Force. The other two bidders are the Zhao Family and Xu Family, both Sixth-level Forces attached to the Qingyuan Sect."

Ding Fan turned in surprise, asking, "Are people from the Qingyuan Sect also participating in the bidding? Isn’t this the Qingyuan Sect’s auction house?"

"Haha!"

Bai Wuxin chuckled softly, saying, "The Qingyuan Sect isn’t composed of a single family; it’s made up of five families, with the Zhang Family being one of their forces. The Spirit Dragon Hall and Flying Cloud City are also formed by several major forces. The Spirit Family and Jeang Family have always dominated the Spirit Dragon Hall, while the Lin Family holds power in Flying Cloud City. If any family among the eleven major forces rises to power, that force becomes a Royal Family. If the Spirit Family or Jeang Family of Spirit Dragon Hall loses influence, another ascendant family will become the new Royal Family."

"So that’s how it is!"

Ding Fan now understood, while Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong were unsurprised, as in the Northern Wastelands some major forces were also composites of various forces, with leadership rotating among the heads of each force. Some forces valued the superiority of individual families, while others shared power collaboratively.

The bidding price continued to climb. When it reached forty-five billion, the Zhang Family from Qingyuan Sect withdrew, leaving the Zhao Family and Lin Family from two Sixth-level Forces to continue bidding.

At this point, Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong were quite tense. The price had risen too high, and if Ding Fan made an even higher bid, they wouldn’t have enough for teleportation array expenses. Would they borrow Black Obsidian from the Bai Family then? Could the Bai Family lend them so much at once?

When the price hit fifty billion, the Zhao Family appeared to hesitate; the price had reached its peak, and they no longer wanted to continue bidding.
