Bid War

Everyone in the hall seemed to hold their breath and even subconsciously channeled their profound energy to protect themselves against the terrifying killing intent. 

This killing intent gave them suffocation, as though they were being stared at by a starving beast and were delicious prey.

Wu Qingcheng took a deep breath to calm herself down and said. "Similar to the previous artifacts, this sword was found in the Golden Mountain Ruin three years ago. The seller used various means to suppress its bloodthirsty aura, but as everyone can see, it was almost impossible to do."

"For the safety sake, we will put it in a formation first." Wu Qingcheng said and waved her hand, activating a protective formation around the ancient sword. 

The killing intent immediately lessened by several degrees, though it could still make people with low profound strength suffocating.
