Chapter 880: Butted Heads with the Wang Family's Guns (Subscription Requested)_1

The auction-goers around all turned their gazes to Xu Sheng, whispering among themselves, "The Wang Family is after all one of the three major families in Tianfeng City—everyone would usually show them some respect, wouldn't they?!"

"I think this young man will definitely take the opportunity to curry favor with the Wang Family, this powerful entity! After all, offending them over a mere map is clearly more trouble than it's worth!"

"That's right! That's what I think too! If the Wang Family really wanted to make a move against this kid, it's not impossible for a mighty dragon to be suppressed by a local snake!"

Meanwhile, the female auctioneer on stage frowned slightly upon seeing the Wang Family's blatant threat. "This Wang Feng, is he being too domineering? Does he really think he owns Tianfeng City?"

From the preceding scene, it was clear that the map's price could still go up; if this man were to be intimidated! Then he would probably stop bidding!

This was tantamount to infringing upon the interests of Qingyang Auction House, but she hesitated to pursue the matter further due to the other party having a bit of influence.

Faced with the attention of so many auction-goers, Xu Sheng said expressionlessly, "Is the head of the Wang Family threatening me? Very well, I will make another bid of five thousand spirit stones; if the Wang Family can outbid me, I will give up!"

Where does he get so many spirit stones, all of this was just to slaughter the Wang Family Patriarch...

Bai Gongyu quietly reminded him from the side, "Xu Sheng, provoking Wang Feng right now isn't a good thing."

Xu Sheng glanced at her with a smile in his dark eyes, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Feng's expression suddenly darkened...

His Wang Family might be vast, but their spirit stones were not endless!

The initial estimated value of the map was only three thousand spirit stones, but now it had far exceeded that...

But this item was also very important to the Wang Family. If they missed out, it would likely be difficult to find such a thing again!

For a moment, he weighed his options...

Seemingly displeased with Wang Feng, the female auctioneer sped up her cadence deliberately, "This gentleman has bid five thousand spirit stones, does the Wang Family wish to raise the bid? If it's later, there might be no chance left!"

"Five thousand spirit stones for the first time!"

"Five thousand spirit stones for the second time!"

Finally, right when the map was about to be knocked down to Xu Sheng, Wang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand three hundred spirit stones!!"

This roar echoed throughout the entire High-Level Auction Pavilion...

After the words fell, Beautiful Eyes, the female auctioneer, glanced at Xu Sheng first, and seeing that he truly did not raise the bid again, she said with a smile, "Then let us congratulate the Wang Family, for acquiring this map with five thousand three hundred spirit stones!"

After listening to the female auctioneer's words, the auction-goers below all smacked their lips in wonder, "They actually went through with the purchase, five thousand three hundred spirit stones, tsk tsk tsk, the Wang Family really has money to burn!"

"Who's to say otherwise. So many spirit stones could keep our clan running for several months; I never expected the Wang Family would use them to buy a map—I'm speechless!"

"I told you so, who could snatch something the Wang Family had set their sights on..."

Xu Sheng too showed a smile and clapped his hands, looking at Wang Feng, "The Wang Family, as one of Tianfeng City's three top families, truly has a solid foundation, willing to spend five thousand three hundred spirit stones on a map!"

However, Wang Feng, who had acquired the map, never looked any better, his eyes filled with murderous intent still fixed on Xu Sheng, "Kid, you just wait! Don't end up as a corpse in the wilderness once you leave Qingyang Auction House!!"

He had now realized that this youngster had no genuine interest in the map. Everything was just to drive up the price!!

This was an outright humiliation of him, Wang Feng, treating him like a monkey to be played with!

Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said mockingly, "There's no need for the head of the Wang Family to worry about me. It's better you worry about your own intelligence, lest the entire Wang Family falls because of you. After all, not many people with a sound mind would spend five thousand spirit stones on a map, would they?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the High-Level Auction Pavilion, including Beautiful Eyes the auctioneer on stage, began to cover their mouths, holding back their laughter...

This man actually dared to openly rage against Wang Feng. This was indeed a first!!

Wang Feng struggled to suppress his urge to rush out and annihilate Xu Sheng, and with a cold "Hmph!" he sat down...

He muttered to himself, "Just good at verbal sparring! Once I know your identity, I'll have you torn into ten thousand pieces!"

In his heart, he concluded a deadly determination concerning Xu Sheng...

After Xu Sheng also sat down, the adoration in Beautiful Eyes Yu's eyes intensified as she said, "Xu Sheng, you're so amazing, even the Wang Family head was left speechless by you!"

She had just assumed Xu Sheng was really intending to use five thousand spirit stones to purchase a map, which the White Palace Family could also accept by gritting their teeth!

But it turned out, all this was deliberate on Xu Sheng's part...

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Are you surprised? I just made the Wang family head pay the price he should have."

Beautiful Eyes Yu nodded her head as if she understood, but her eyes were full of confusion as she pressed on, "But Xu Sheng, isn't that painting very important to you? How can you just give it to the Wang family like that?"

She was certain Xu Sheng had genuinely wanted to win the painting at the start!

Hearing this, Xu Sheng's thin lips pursed slightly, "Who said I was giving it up?"

That map was just something for the Wang Family Patriarch to temporarily keep...

Beautiful Eyes Yu's eyes widened, "Xu Sheng, are you planning to..."

...

The auctioneer, holding a Lower-Grade Profound Martial Technique in her hands, smiled as she said, "Dear guests, please take a look at this auction item—a Lower-Grade Profound Martial Technique, the Thunder Demon Slash! The starting bid is four thousand spirit stones! Each increment must not be less than five hundred spirit stones."

Wang Feng's eyes narrowed as he raised his hand, "My Wang Family bids four thousand spirit stones!!"

As soon as he spoke up, the other bidders fell silent...

Only Xu Sheng, wearing an unconcerned expression, said, "I bid four thousand five hundred spirit stones!!"

Wang Feng's eyes, filled with a cold light, glanced at Xu Sheng, "Five thousand spirit stones!!"

Xu Sheng's mouth curled into a smile, without hesitation, he said, "Five thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Wang Feng clenched his fist again, his voice cold, "Six thousand spirit stones!!"

"Six thousand five hundred spirit stones!!"

"Seven thousand spirit stones!!"

"Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

In a flash, the price of this Lower-Grade Profound Martial Technique skyrocketed to seven thousand five hundred spirit stones!

This rise also brought a look of hesitation to Wang Feng's face...

For the Wang Family, seven thousand five hundred spirit stones was not an insignificant sum!

As if reading his hesitation, Xu Sheng crossed his arms and said with cold sarcasm, "Tsk tsk tsk, is this all the Wang Family amounts to? If you can't even produce seven thousand spirit stones, perhaps it's time to switch out the big three clans. For example, I could reluctantly take over, could I not?"

His words once again broke the defenses of the bidders below...

"Pfft, I'm dying of laughter! This guy keeps provoking the Wang Family, and yet here at Qingyang Auction House, they can't lay a finger on him!"

"Today, Wang Feng is really stifled. But surely the Wang Family can't be unable to come up with seven thousand five hundred spirit stones, can they?"

"If they truly don't have seven thousand five hundred spirit stones, indeed the big three clans should consider a change!"
