Chapter 62: It’s Me, Indeed

The moment had finally arrived.

“Finally, the time has come,” someone said.

Nie Chen had deliberately chosen this auction with many disputes to wait for this opportunity.

Initially, he had planned to pick a few strong and wealthy buyers to take out and beat up.

However, now that the System had issued a mission, things had become much simpler.

As long as he could grab the treasure in that box, not only could he settle his debt with the System, but he could also get a free treasure.

At this moment, the auction hall was silent.

“Has she gone crazy? Even if the item in the box is precious, it’s not worth 10,000 Spirit Stones,” someone said.

“Indeed, she’s the sister of the saintess, and this is too extravagant…”

Although many forces had originally intended to bid on the last blind box, they could only watch helplessly when faced with a price of 10,000 Spirit Stones, and no one dared to continue bidding.

“10,000 Spirit Stones, once.”

“10,000 Spirit Stones, twice.”

“10,000 Spirit Stones…”

“10,000 Spirit Stones, three times.”

Just as Miao Miaoyin’s voice fell, Nie Chen’s voice suddenly rang out from the corner.

The hall was silent for a moment, and then all eyes turned to the source of the voice in surprise.

Not only were they curious about who could afford such a price, but also because raising the price further would be equivalent to going against Yao Mengyun.

Which faction would dare to offend that arrogant lady?

However, when they saw Nie Chen’s appearance, everyone was taken aback.

They had never seen this person before.

Could he be a member of a hidden powerful family?

But Nie Chen seemed to be alone, and it was impossible to tell what kind of power he had behind him.

Yao Mengyun also frowned slightly, looking at Nie Chen with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“14,000 Spirit Stones,” she said, raising the price again.

Nie Chen’s voice continued to ring out, “15,000 Spirit Stones!”

“16,000.”

“17,000.”

Yao Mengyun’s body emitted a faint, icy aura, and her gaze at Nie Chen was cold and piercing.

She gritted her teeth and said, “18,000.”

“30,000!”

Nie Chen shouted loudly, his voice calm and relaxed.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed rang out, and Yao Mengyun finally lost her patience.

Her long sword, emitting a faint blue glow, was drawn, and she looked at Nie Chen with a gaze that sent chills down his spine.

“What do you mean by this?” she asked.

“Isn’t this an auction? Doesn’t the highest bidder win?” Nie Chen replied with a smile.

“40,000 Spirit Stones.”

“50,000 Spirit Stones.”

In an instant, a sword energy flashed past Nie Chen’s shoulder, and although he dodged it, the icy energy still slashed a huge gash in the wall.

“What are you doing here? If you don’t have a good reason, don’t blame me for killing you,” Yao Mengyun said, her body radiating a fierce killing intent.

“I’m here for two things: to grab the treasure and to beat up the arrogant ones,” Nie Chen said, slowly standing up.

“How dare you! Our Cloud Auction House has experts present, and now we even have Miss Yao Mengyun here. You’re just a small fry, and you think you can cause trouble here?” Miao Miaoyin scolded.

“Fake goods, stolen goods, it’s all black market stuff. Since we’re all not good people, it shouldn’t be a problem to play dirty, right?” Nie Chen said, covering his face with his hand, and his disguise began to fade away.

The crowd’s eyes were fixed on Nie Chen, eager to see who had the courage to challenge them.

When Nie Chen’s true appearance was revealed, the hall fell silent, and everyone was stunned, unable to speak.

“This face… isn’t it Nie Chen, the one who became famous in the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum?” someone asked.

“Why is Nie Chen here?”

“We’re in trouble. This time, we’ve really messed up!”

Miao Miaoyin and the people from the Cloud Auction House were shocked.

They knew how serious it was to fake Nie Chen’s goods and put them up for auction.

“Don’t think about running. We still have unfinished business,” Nie Chen said with a cold smile, taking a step forward, his figure becoming a blur.

He didn’t immediately go for the treasure box but instead started attacking the people in the hall indiscriminately.

“Did you just bid 500 Spirit Stones for my underwear? Do you think you can look down on me with that kind of money?”

“Did you just say I’m not as handsome as you? Let’s talk about it later, old man…”

The people in the auction hall were quite powerful, but they couldn’t withstand Nie Chen’s high cultivation and foundation, not to mention the Empress Qingyue’s protection.

Almost no one could fight back.

“Boom, boom, boom.”

As Nie Chen punched and kicked, the screams of pain continued to echo.

“I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again!”

“Nie Chen, spare me!”

The one who claimed to be more handsome than Nie Chen had already been beaten to a pulp, his face swollen like a pig’s head.

Even if he recovered, his features would likely be distorted.

Just then, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to catch Nie Chen off guard, and several high-ranking experts hired by the auction house rushed onto the stage, trying to grab the last exquisite wooden box.

The box contained a priceless treasure, and if it was really stolen, the Cloud Auction House would suffer a huge loss!

“Stop!”

However, as soon as the three men picked up the box, they found Nie Chen standing in front of them.

“Young man, although you’re also in the Opening Profound Realm, you shouldn’t think you can take on the three of us alone. Even if you’re afraid of Empress Qingyue, don’t force us to kill you!”

Nie Chen smiled and said, “Are you sure?”

“Boom, boom, boom.”

Unfortunately, the auction house’s hired thugs were not as powerful as they seemed.

With their shallow cultivation, they were no match for Nie Chen and were easily defeated.

[Destroyed three Opening Profound Realm cultivators’ spiritual cores, skill points +1]

“These guys are really worthless!”

Nie Chen had expected this and simply took the wooden box from them.

As he removed the two locks on the box, Nie Chen was about to open it when he felt a chill run down his spine.

The person approaching him was none other than Yao Mengyun from the Fanhua Sacred Lands.

Nie Chen smiled and said, “It seems like you want to fight me?”

“Yes, I’ve been looking forward to it,” Yao Mengyun replied, her voice cold, her sword flashing with a faint blue glow.

“Great, I’ve been looking forward to it too.”

Nie Chen casually threw the wooden box on the ground, his body radiating a fierce fighting spirit.

The more talented and arrogant the opponent, the more he enjoyed the fight!

Yao Mengyun frowned slightly, sensing something unusual about Nie Chen.

In the past, people would only feel fear when facing her, but Nie Chen seemed different.
