Chapter 192: Intense Competition
me at this moment.He raised his hand, just about to kill Shen Changqing when suddenly, the bewildered eyes in his face became bright, and he mumbled to himself."That's what the passage of time and wor...Sixty thousand taels!
A calm voice came from the inner room, causing many people below to look up.
They really want to see.
>
>Who would go to auction a demon
Although Number Two's words sounded pleasing, the two grudges he was referring to were monstrous and equivalent to two fighters at the innate realm.
The problem is.
How can one control two demonic beasts comparable to those at the innate realm
> You know.
The methods of controlling demonic beings have always been shrouded in mystery and are not something that ordinary people can learn.
Therefore.

After a long time.
Number Two started the countdown when no one showed up for the auction.
This is the text translated:
Let me know if you have any other translations you'd like help with!
Sixty thousand taels first time!
"70,000 taels!"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
A voice, cutting him off directly.
“80,000 taels!”
In the guest room, Shen Changqing spoke softly.
>
Although he doesn't have eighty thousand taels on him now, when the Three Schools Masters Martial Arts Auction arrives, eighty thousand taels will be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Around him.
A flicker of bewilderment crossed his eyes before vanishing.
"Could it be, Lord Shen, that you possess the means to control demons"
"I don't understand."
"Don't understand"
The music lover was lost in contemplation.
You don't know how to control demons, why did you buy a black banner Isn't this just someone with too much money and nowhere to spend it
It seemed as if he had seen through his inner thoughts, Shen Changqing's face took on a righteous and imposing look.
“As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, our duty is to slay demons and exterminate evils. All demons and monsters in this world should be eradicated. Now that the Black Banner has fallen into the hands of others, who knows what chaos it might bring Only by capturing the Black Banner and killing the demon within can we ensure everlasting peace!”
Jiu Qu watched him with such righteousness, a ridiculous illusion arose in his heart.
For a moment.
This old man from the Demon Suppression Division couldn't even tell whether what Shen Changqing said was true or false.
That's right.
The Demon Suppression Division indeed takes slaying demons and exorcising evil as its mission, that's the capital upon which the Demon Suppression Division stands.
But.
This is not to say that all members of the Demon Suppression Office make this their duty.
Many times.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Exorcist would rarely go out of his way to eliminate demons unless he had received a mission or was forced to do so.
It's very simple.
Demons are incredibly powerful, and no demon hunter would dare claim they could always kill a demon with absolute certainty.
Once something goes wrong, you might even lose your life.
So.
> The truly incorruptible are still a very small number of people.
Though Ji Qu had not interacted much with Shen Changqing, he felt that the other party was probably not a person who held grudges.
>
Of course.
These are all his guesses in his heart, he didn't say them out loud, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.
At this time, other people also began to bid.
In a short period of time, the price soared to 100,000 taels.
"Even demons from the black banner could attract so many bidders!"
Shen Changqing's brows furrowed slightly.
In his opinion, the Black Banner shouldn't have much competitiveness.
The starting price was 50,000 taels of silver, and the maximum could be 60-70,000 taels. But judging by the current momentum, even doubling the price might not be enough to get the Black Banner.
Ji Qu said: "This time, people from all walks of life participated in the auction. There must be some martial artists who are proficient in unorthodox methods among them.
For them, if they could obtain the black banner, their strength would increase considerably.
"Now it comes down to who has more silver: them or me."
Shen Changqing shook his head, then raised the price again.
“120,000 taels!”
“125,000 taels!”
>In another room, two people dressed in gray sat there.

One was slightly overweight and looked kind, while the other was thinner with a sinister look in his eyes. They were both probably in their fifties or sixties.
"That's strange. To my knowledge, among those participating in the auction now, the only one who understands underhanded tactics is the Heavenly Yin Gate. So who is this third bidder"
Miao's face was a mix of suspicion and anger, his eyes gleaming with malice.
There are many people in the world who know how to use underhanded tactics, but he had already inquired about it beforehand.
This time, besides the own Bai Gui Men, the only other underworld force that might participate in the auction is the Tian Yin Men.
Upon hearing this.
The slightly overweight old man shook his head: "It's hard to say. Perhaps others have also gotten news of the Black Banner and secretly came to participate in the auction, but it's not a big problem. My Hundred Ghosts Gate has been prepared for this occasion long ago. How could I, Miao Hong, be afraid of others"
He looked like he was sure of victory.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even before the auction began, the Bái Guǐ Mén received word that two vicious and malevolent spirits would appear during the auction.
Therefore.
The Hundred Ghost Gate was already well-prepared.
Others' aims are to vie for the three masters' martial arts, but their true intentions have never been about any master martial arts.
Simply put.
The Grandmaster's martial arts are too expensive for a small sect like the Hundred Ghosts Gate to afford.
Therefore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As long as the Black Banner is captured, the Hundred Ghosts Gate won't have come here in vain this time.
A strange coldness appeared on Miao Hong's usually kind face.
"Take down the black banner, and our Hundred Ghosts Gate will gain two more demonic creatures comparable to those at the Xiantian realm. According to the news, those two demonic creatures are very likely to be at the Wai Gang realm."
With them, the strength of the gate will surely increase.
"Then, that will be the true opportunity for the Bai Gui Men to truly flourish." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes."
Miao Feng also nodded in deep agreement.
In the martial arts world, fringe factions are ultimately looked down upon. This leads to the decline of fringe factions and their inability to compare with orthodox schools.
That is why.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The gates of a hundred ghosts are suppressed everywhere.
The specific reason is that the strength of Bai Guimen is insufficient.
>
However, the two believed that as long as they captured the black banner, the Hundred Ghost Gate's strength would definitely make a breakthrough.
At that time.
This
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
Miao Hong bid again.
Suddenly.
The scene fell silent.
In the room where the Heavenly Yin Gate was located, an old man's face darkened.
"150,000 taels! The two old geezers from Bai Gui Men seem determined to fight with our Tian Yin Men. Let me see how much silver you've brought!"
He murmured a few words.
>
He is the one who bids directly.
"Twenty thousand taels!"
Once it was raised by 50,000 taels, many people were shocked.
They also didn't expect that the Black Banner would be so popular. The few people who have bid now seem determined to win it.
On the auction platform.
The second in command was grinning from ear to ear.
He almost thought the Black Banner was going to be unsold, after all, a starting price of 50,000 taels wasn't something ordinary.
As a result,
>
In a short period of time, the price surged directly from 50,000 taels to 200,000 taels. It has to be said that it completely exceeded expectations.
"Thirty thousand taels!"
Shen Changqing spoke.
The Heavenly Gate was raised by 50,000 taels, but he directly raised it by 100,000 taels.
Since everyone wants to compete, a little bit of attrition is obviously not appropriate. Only by offering a high price and showing your determination to win can you have a chance to scare off other bidders.
300,000 taels!
Ji Qu's face stiffened, and he looked at Shen Changqing with eyes that seemed to view him as a madman.
Spending 300,000 taels just to vie for a useless black banner Even with money, there's no need to be so extravagant!
Unless—
The other party truly possesses the means to control demons, they just refuse to admit it.
If that's the case.
To buy two martial artists at the innate realm with 300,000 taels is indeed a worthwhile deal.
With a heavy slap on the table, Miao Hong’s face finally turned gloomy.
Thirty thousand taels!
The price surged suddenly, catching him off guard.
It's not that Bai Guimen couldn't come up with 300,000 taels of silver, it's that the other party suddenly increased the price by 100,000 taels. Miao Hong couldn't grasp their limit. Where exactly was the other party's upper limit
If the bidding continues, and the price for the black banner keeps rising, it's unclear whether it would be a profitable or a losing investment.
>
Even the demonic creatures within the black banner need nourishment.
Nourishing.
That's a considerable expense.
Miao Hong looked at Shen Changqing's room, his eyes flickering.
"Where on earth did that person come from To be able to pull out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at once, their power can't be underestimated. If it were a lone wolf, the possibility would be much lower."
At the beginning.
He thought Shen Changqing was just a wandering martial artist who knew some tricks, trying to compete with them for the black banner.
Therefore.
Miao Hong didn't even look at the other person.
Now is the time.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The other party opened with 300,000 taels, giving off an impression of wealth and extravagance.
"What are we going to do, are we still going to fight"
Miao Feng's face was not looking good either.
This is a placeholder for text that you would like translated into English. Please provide me with the text you want translated and I will be happy to help!
On hearing this.
Miao Hong gritted his teeth.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Fight, why not fight Since he's not playing by the rules, we're too lazy to play slowly with him."
Please note: I removed the > tags from your input as they are not part of standard English or HTML. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's it.
He was the one who bid the highest.
"500,000 taels!"
Isn't it just a price increase Who's afraid of whom!
This is the moment.
Miao Hong has really gone all out.
He directly threw out the limit that Bai Guimen could bear, 500,000 taels. If the other party continued to argue, then Bai Guimen would give up completely.
On the contrary.
The black flag is about to fall into the hands of the Hundred Ghosts Gate.
"Fifty thousand taels! Someone bid fifty thousand taels, but are there still people who want to bid!"
>
The second-in-command was agitated and shouted loudly.
He was truly excited.
A black banner, which shouldn't have fetched such a high price, skyrocketed to 500,000 taels.
“500,000 taels The Hundred Ghosts Gate is crazy!”
The Heavenly Yin Gate Master was furious.
First, a madman bid 300,000 taels, and as a result, the Bai Gui Men also went crazy and bid 500,000 taels.
How could he not hear Miao Hong's voice
But what he didn't expect was that Miao Hong was also going crazy with the other person.
After the rage subsided.
The head of the Heavenly Yin Sect quickly calmed down.
Although 500,000 taels is a high price, given the current momentum of Bai Guimen, it is possible that they will continue to bid, or 500,000 taels could be the limit.
Still no contest!
This is a thought-provoking question.
For a long time.
The headmaster of the Heavenly Yin Gate decided to go all in. Anyway, the Heavenly Yin Gate brought a lot of silver this time, and their purpose was to auction off the Black Banner. If that's the case, then they would play along with the Hundred Ghosts Gate to the end.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
"Five hundred and one thousand taels!"
As the price was announced, Miao Hong slumped in his chair as if all the air had been let out of him.
It is obvious.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tiānyīn Mén's offer made him give up his plans to compete for the Black Banner.
In the room.

Shen Changqing's expression was slightly solemn. After thinking for a moment, he still did not give up on bidding.
"Sixty thousand taels!"en Shen Changqing spoke.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!When the Lord of the Dàntáī heard this, he exchanged a glance with Lord Wú Xuán.>Immediately, they all nodded...
