Chapter 2053
Gu Chen's pupils shrank slightly, then he nodded and said solemnly, "I've heard of it. It's one of the Ten Ancient Underworld Clans, the overlord force of the Sixth Mountain and Sea."
"Ten Ancient Underworld Clans? Very few people use this term now. Daoist Zhao is very knowledgeable. "
Ji Yang nodded and sighed. "Including the one from the Sacred Family, there are six Great Sages in the box. According to my guess, not all Great Sages are willing to deal with others, so there might be other Great Sages hiding in the dark.
"I've made it very clear. Do you understand? It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't say anything. But don't worry, the seat I've arranged for you is very close to the box, and it took me a lot of effort. "
As they spoke, the two of them entered the auction hall. Ji Yang pointed to a certain place, which was indeed very close to Madam Du's box. It was almost at the entrance.
It was not until then that Gu Chen's expression softened and he nodded. "Thank you, Daoist Ji."
Seeing that Gu Chen had no objections, Ji Yang invited him to take a seat and then went to the entrance of the hall to wait for the next guest.
Gu Chen arrived at the seat Ji Yang had indicated. Just as he was about to take a seat, he found the person beside him familiar.
It was the Dragon Taming Sect's Elder, Qu Fengxian. At this moment, he was chatting cheerfully with the guests beside him. When he saw Gu Chen sit down, he smiled at him politely. He was no longer as aloof as he was in the Leaping Carp Building.
The guests nearby were not simple. Many of them were at the Sage King Realm, and their backgrounds were hard to say. Qu Fengxian naturally didn't dare to put on airs.
Gu Chen pretended not to know him and nodded politely at Qu Fengxian. Then, he sat in his seat without saying a word. He had no intention of getting to know anyone.
At this moment, his heart was filled with the six Great Sages that Ji Yang had mentioned. The information he had obtained was of great significance.
Great Sage Zhuge of the Sword Pavilion was very likely to be on the same side as Medusa, so he had to be careful.
As for the other five Great Sages, he was especially concerned about the Great Sages of the Divine Wander Sect and the Sacred Family.
The Divine Wander Sect had created the Divine Wander Realm and its influence in the Dao World could be said to be extraordinary.
Gu Chen's Hidden God Army was able to make use of the loopholes in the Divine Wandering Sect to dominate the area. It was hard to imagine how much damage the Divine Wandering Sect could cause if they wanted to do something bad.
Divine Ascension Sect claimed to the outside world that the Divine Ascension Realms they opened were isolated from each other, but Gu Chen, who had already grasped this loophole, knew very well that they were lying and that this Sect was hiding a great secret.
Ghost Wandering Street was originally a Divine Traversing World, but it was able to develop into the largest Divine Traversing City Square in the Dark World. Was this related to the support of the Divine Traversing Sect?
Hearing that a Great Sage from the Divine Tour Sect would attend the auction, Gu Chen naturally thought of this possibility.
As for the Sacred Family, as the enemy who had exterminated the Tyrants back then, Gu Chen had never forgotten Uncle Ling's reminder.
This race was originally an enemy that he was destined to face. Although they weren't his target, he still had to be careful and vigilant.
The Heavenly Hall was extremely large and could accommodate about ten thousand cultivators at the same time. Most of the seats were already filled before the start of the auction.
The guests were chatting and laughing, and many of them looked at the box from time to time. They were curious about when the Great Sages and Madam Du, who was the most beautiful in the city, would arrive.
However, even when the emcee went on stage, no one entered the box. Many of the guests revealed looks of confusion or disappointment.
Gu Chen was very close to the box, but the box was set up with a powerful restriction, so he couldn't spy on the situation inside.
If he forcibly used his divine sense to invade the box, he might be able to tear the restriction apart, but that would also alert the enemy.
However, although he couldn't see the situation inside, Gu Chen could vaguely feel the presence of auras inside. He was afraid that the Medusas and the Great Sages had already entered the box, but there was another passage in the box, or they had used some kind of teleportation ability.
This made Gu Chen a little disappointed. He had originally planned to probe the strength of the Great Sages at a close distance and understand the defense around the Medusas.
"Hmph, what's the use of being close? We've been tricked by Ji Yang."
Many people around had bribed Ji Yang to get this seat. Seeing that the Great Sages didn't intend to have any contact with the people at the venue, it was inevitable that some people were dissatisfied.
"This is normal. A few of the auction items that will appear today are very sensitive. Even if the Great Sages want to fight for them, they don't want too many people to know."
"At this time, the Great Sages in the box might be scheming against each other. Even outside, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't any Great Sages hiding their identities."
Qu Fengxian seemed to be pointing out something. The cultivators next to him heard this and said curiously, "Listening to Brother Qu's tone, you seem to know the auction items that will appear today like the back of your hand."
"I can't say that I know everything, but I do know a little. All the forces should have more or less received the news. Why don't we exchange information with each other, so that when the time comes, there will be an item that catches your eye, but they don't have enough funds because they have already bid for other items, causing them to be frustrated. "
Qu Fengxian suggested, and a few people showed hesitation when they heard this.
They had indeed received some information in advance, and some of them had come today precisely for this.
Qu Fengxian's suggestion of exchanging information made some sense, but it was also possible that there would be more competitors, and then it wouldn't be worth it to fight with them.
"Brother Qu, you must be joking. The few auction items that everyone knows today will definitely be in the pockets of the Great Sages. What right do we have to fight for them? As for the others, no one is interested even if we say it, so let's just forget about it. "
After weighing the pros and cons, the various forces all cunningly chose to remain silent, unwilling to reveal information in advance and attract unnecessary competitors.
Gu Chen was silent at the side. He had more or less heard about the auction items that would appear today, but he wasn't here for them, so he naturally wasn't interested.
His gaze swept over almost every cultivator that entered the hall, observing them, wanting to grasp every variable as much as possible.
He saw that the siblings Hai Xuan and Hai Hong had arrived, as well as Zhou Tai, Sheng Kuafu, Jiang Beidou, and Zhang Hao.
Virtually no one was willing to miss out on such a grand occasion. The famous Great Sages, the outstanding figures of the younger generation, the eccentrics and Chosen from all over the Nine Mountains and Seas were all gathered here.
Once everyone was seated, the people on the street started to distribute the jade slips. Everyone present had one.
"What is this?"
The guests curiously took the jade slips, and soon, their eyes lit up.
"It's actually the catalog for today's auction. Ghost Parade really knows how to do business. Looks like I won't be able to get anything good today."
Qu Fengxian, who was beside Gu Chen, took the jade slip, opened it, and shook his head.
Some of the other people were also cursing in their hearts. They had originally come for one or a few auction items, thinking that they would have the opportunity to bid for them cheaply.
However, once the catalog was released, some customers who had the same requirements as him would know about it. It would be equivalent to locking in on the auction items in advance, and the competition would be extremely fierce.
And the more intense the competition, the higher the auction item's price would be, the more profits the seller would make, and the higher the commission for the Ghost Parade would be!
Gu Chen was indifferent to the moods of others. He opened the auction catalog and casually browsed through it.
Suddenly, his gaze froze!
