Chapter 273：Provocative

In a VIP room, Lin Feng and Meng Qing were sitting on soft chairs while Ba Dao was standing behind them. 

Through that peculiar curtain, the three of them could clearly see everything outside. The huge auction hall was laid bare before their eyes. 

At this moment, in front of the auction hall, a graceful figure suddenly emerged. It was the woman who had received Lin Feng not long ago. Now she had changed into a new dress, a long blue skirt with a long trailing hem. Her shoulders were still exposed. From Lin Feng's perspective, he could even see the deep crevices inside, which made him feel somewhat strange. 

Mengqing's eyes flickered for a moment and she glanced at Lin Feng. Lin Feng seemed to have sensed something and turned his gaze away. Their eyes met and collided. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile tremulously. 

At this moment, in the VIP room adjacent to Lin Feng, there sat an ordinary young man with a cold gaze like a sharp knife. Behind him, a group of people were standing respectfully, exactly the two men and two women that Lin Feng had seen in the restaurant. 

"Lián Jiāo is becoming more and more alluring these days," said Lěng Yuè indifferently. His words carried an undertone of ambiguity, but when uttered by him, still retained a certain sharpness. 

"If Cold Moon Senior Brother likes it, I'm sure Lan Jiao will not refuse it." A person behind Cold Moon said in a flattering tone. 

She saw that Cold Moon's lips curled slightly upwards and she smiled, saying, "If you are too compliant, then what's the point? I prefer to be forceful." 

Upon hearing this, the four of them exchanged glances. Knife Prince, with his peculiar personality and domineering nature, didn't care whether others followed his lead or not. What he enjoyed was using the knife to make others comply. He never expected that even when dealing with women, he would be like this and prefer to use coercion. 

"Finally, I made it to Tianluo Ancient City. I mustn't leave out the women either." 

Leng Yue's voice was indifferent. The expressions of the four people behind her froze for a moment. It seemed that Lan Jiao couldn't escape Leng Yue's clutches. After all, she was so charmingly beautiful and exposed her wonderful body, arousing everyone's desire. 

Today's auction was just like the usual ones, still consisting of ten items. The first few treasures didn't interest Lin Feng much. He just sat there quietly, watching the bidders below. 

It was not until Lan Jiao announced the eighth item for auction that Lin Feng showed any interest. 

Top-grade divine artifact, Broken Moon, starting bid price, one thousand medium-grade yuan stones. 

Today, many people came here specifically for the "Waning moon" item. As soon as the auction began, the price of "Waning moon" soared to 2000 mid-grade Yuanstones, which exceeded the capacity of many bidders. 

Although the precious superior-grade divine artifacts are rare and valuable, two thousand medium-grade elemental stones are still a considerable sum. 

"Three thousand medium-grade elemental stones!" 

At this moment, a sharp voice rang out, like a blade. A blade-like intention spread across the space, enveloping the crowd in the auction hall, and vanished in an instant. 

This caused many people's gazes to narrow. Then, all of their gazes turned towards one place - towards a VIP room. There, faintly, a sharp knife was about to be drawn from its sheath. 

"It's Master of the Knife!" 

The crowd felt a shiver down their spines. This was the kind of power that the Blade Master had unleashed. It was said that he had arrived in Tianlu Ancient City. But he directly unleashed this power upon the crowd, without any regard for others. How presumptuous! 

However, Master Dao himself has extraordinary talent and strength. Coupled with the backing of the Hua Yue Sect, he naturally has the arrogance to act as he pleases. Generally speaking, any strong person at the Xuanwu stage would show some respect for him. But below the Xuanwu stage, Master Dao is actually not overly afraid of anyone. 

After this wave of "sword will" was released, indeed, the auction hall fell silent for a moment. 

"Three thousand one hundred medium-grade Yuan stones!" 

At this moment, a cold and indifferent voice rang out, shattering the calm. This voice also came from the row of VIP rooms where the Blade Prince was located, and it was only one VIP room away from where the Blade Prince was. 

"Huh?" Ling Yue's gaze narrowed for a moment, then she said coldly, "Four thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." 

"Four thousand one hundred and ten thousand Jingyuan stones." 

That cold and chilling voice rang out again, causing Leng Yue's complexion to gradually change. Suddenly, a surging blade-like intention burst forth and rushed towards that VIP room. 

"Sir Knife, what do you mean by this? Auction, fair competition. What are you trying to do with this?" A cold gust of air shot out, like ice or frost, repelling the knife spirit away. 

"Those from the Ice and Snow Villa!" 

The crowd's gazes narrowed slightly. The disciples of Ice and Snow Villa, and they dared to provoke the Blade Prince. Then, there was only one person left. 

"Glacier!" 

The Blade Prince gave a cold shout and then continued, "Five thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." 

"Five thousand one hundred medium-grade yuan stones." 

"Eight thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." This time, Leng Yue directly raised the bidding to over eight thousand. At the same time, the sharp and powerful momentum of the sword attack surged in an overwhelming manner. 

The crowd's hearts trembled slightly. Master Dao, this price is already very high. It's so luxurious. 

"Since Cold Brother likes it so much, I won't argue about it." 

The cold moon gave a faint smile. The icy aura once again became fierce. The white frost and snow spread in the air. With a thunderous explosion, the curtain of the VIP room between the two of them burst apart, revealing three figures. 

A man and a woman were sitting there, and behind them was a man wearing a mask. 

"Then I'll thank Brother Ice. The Broken Moon Sword belongs to me now." The voice of the Sword Master was sharp and fierce, but he ignored the three people, Lin Feng, and others in the middle. 

The crowd looked at the three of Lin Feng and shook their heads in dismay. They could only blame themselves for being so unlucky. They chose the VIP room in the middle between the Iceberg and the Blade Prince, and thus suffered the fate of a fish caught by a net. 

" Lan Jiao, announce it." The Blade Prince said to the auction stage. Lan Jiao glanced at the burst-open VIP room and nodded slightly at Lin Feng, revealing a sorry smile. 

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Feng speak calmly: "Eight thousand one hundred medium-grade Yuan stones." 

As Lin Feng finished speaking, the space around him seemed to freeze for a moment. Lin Feng offered 8,100 mid-grade Yuan Stone to compete with the Blade Prince. 

"Is he sulking?" 

"Perhaps he acted rashly out of resentment after being wronged. It seems that this person is going to have bad luck." 

Many people have formed an idea in their hearts, but those who witnessed the conflict between Lin Feng and Iceberg didn't think so. It turned out that it was this person. Not only did he provoke Iceberg, but now it seems that he is going to challenge the Blade Prince and Cold Moon as well. 

When Cold Moon heard this sudden voice, he was momentarily stunned. Apart from the Ice Plains, there was someone challenging him and going against him. 

With his eyes slightly closed, Daojunzi's consciousness surged forth. Instantly, he knew who the other party was. Opening his eyes, a slight sneer appeared on his lips. 

"It seems that the blow you received in the hotel was not enough to make you tremble with fear." 

The cold moon said domineeringly, "Nine thousand medium-grade elemental stones." Then she began to speak: "Here are nine thousand medium-grade elemental stones." 

"Nine thousand one hundred medium-grade Yuan stones." As soon as Leng Yue finished speaking, Lin Feng's voice rang out immediately. What was even more infuriating was that Lin Feng's voice was extremely calm, without the slightest ripple, as if he didn't even take the Blade Prince into consideration at all. 

"You are courting death." Cold Moon stood up, the wild and domineering aura of his swordsmanship burst forth suddenly. The deafening "bang-kah" sound reverberated, and the curtain in front of him burst open. His sharp figure immediately appeared in the eyes of the crowd. 

At this moment, he and Lin Feng were only separated by a wall. If both of them took a step forward, they would be able to see each other. 

Bada's body trembled slightly. He stepped forward and took a sudden leap forward, then a torrential and overwhelming momentum of his sword swept out in all directions. 

In the void, a rumbling cracking sound was emitted. This was the clash of swords against swords. 

"If you can't afford the auction price, then don't make a fool of yourself here. Brother Knife, you should change your name to Shameless Younger Brother instead. That would be a bit more appropriate." 

Lin Feng gave a faint, sarcastic chuckle. Right there in front of everyone, he made a sarcastic remark about Leng Yue. 

"One thousand two hundred medium-grade yuan stones." 

The cold moon gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Feng, you actually mock me for not being able to afford the auction?" 

"Ha ha, the people of the Hua Yue Sect are indeed no different from the others. They have no place to put their resources." Lin Feng gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Such expensive divine artifacts are beyond my reach." 

"Damn it! He did it on purpose." 

"Hey, this guy is interesting. He deliberately provoked Master Dao to such an extent that he spent so much effort and resources to acquire the Broken Moon Sword." 

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the crowd's gazes froze. This guy, what nerve he has! 

Leng Yue and the four people behind him also turned pale and their gazes turned icy cold. 

"Ha ha, Brother is right. It seems that the Hua Yue Sect really has a lot of Yuan Shi but no place to use them." The ice plain beside him also chimed in sarcastically, her voice was very straightforward and deliberately added fuel to the fire, making Leng Yue hate Lin Feng. If they were to fight, wouldn't it be an interesting thing? 

However, he saw Lin Feng sneer coldly, his lips moving slightly, and he uttered a few words in a detached tone: "Whoever considers you a brother is mistaken. People from the Ice and Snow Villa are all like you. They are fond of doing shady things, timid and hesitant, and dare not act openly and honestly." 

When Lin Feng finished speaking, everyone's expressions once again froze on that one point. Lin Feng, not only did he provoke the Blade Prince, but now he's even going to offend the Ice King. On both sides, everyone insults each other, and no one is afraid!
