Chapter 456: Fate My Ass!

She then carefully lifted the red cloth, revealing a red demonic core that was still on fire. A beast’s illusion was roaring inside the core. It appeared to be a very powerful and fearsome beast.

“I’m sure most of you have guessed what it is. This is a Category Three Heaven-tier Flaming Lion’s demonic core! This is an excellent demonic core for Beast Warriors. If you have enough Heavenly Passage Pills, it could help you advance into the Second Passage Stage from the first! Of course, I suggest that you refine it over time, or you might get burned! I won’t say any more, so let’s get the bidding started! The initial price is fifty Heavenly Passage Pills!”

Once she finished announcing that, everyone started bidding and increasing the price. Fifty-one soon became eighty. At the same time, Jiang Cheng saw that Long Chen was interested in the demonic core. “Brother Yang, do you want it? I recall that you are a Beast Warrior, so it should be useful for you. I will buy it for you if you are interested.”

When he said that, he took secret glances at Xiaolang.

“I will be grateful if you do, Brother Jiang.”

“No worries. It’s normal for you to not have any Heavenly Passage Pills since it’s your first time here. Let me get it for you.”

The price was already at a hundred pills, and no one was bidding anymore. That was the regular price of a Category Three Heaven-tier demonic core.

Just then, Jiang Cheng shouted from the booth, “One hundred and twenty Heavenly Passage Pills.”

The girl below was delighted because that was above the market price! Since no one else bidded further, she announced that the demonic core belonged to Jiang Cheng.

The auction continued, and soon, someone sent the demonic core to Jiang Cheng. He then gave it to Long Chen, who was more than happy to accept it.

“I hope it helps you grow stronger, Brother Yang.” Jiang Cheng smiled. Long Chen wasn’t sure why he was so happy.

Why is he so happy even though he spent so much money buying demonic core for me? He’s probably loaded. Long Chen was considering “taking” Jiang Cheng’s Heavenly Passage Pills if the latter showed hostility.

The auction was nearing its end. An intermediate Heaven-tier battleax was displayed, and everyone got excited about it. Someone bought it for two thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. The time for the final item had come. As the girl brought the suspense to the peak, everyone was squirming in their seats, waiting to catch a glimpse of the final treasure.

“This is the final item of the auction. I’m sure many of you came all the way here for a chance to obtain it. Come, bring up the final item.”

Someone pushed over a cart with a black plate on it. It was covered in a black cloth too. The girl smiled and carefully revealed the final item. On the plate was a shining collar roughly twenty centimeters in diameter. The collar wasn’t normal—it glowed and exuded an eerie aura. There were even hints of a bloodthirsty aura in it. Long Chen observed the collar and saw that there were many beast souls howling inside of it.

“This is the Soul Binder, an Intermediate Heaven-tier treasure! I’m sure almost everyone here knows how to use it! It can be used to enslave any demonic beast under the Category Six Heaven-tier! The beast will become your loyal subject, forever doing your bidding. If you capture one, you are essentially recruiting someone at the Sixth Passage Stage to your clan or family! Who would miss this opportunity? Many people are willing to trade off all of their treasures just to obtain it! Hehe, sorry, that was just a joke, but the Soul Binder is a really rare treasure. You might never see one for sale again if you miss this chance! The price will start at five thousand Heavenly Passage Pills!”

Five thousand Heavenly Passage Pills was not a small amount, but it showed how precious the item was.

To Long Chen, the price was far beyond what he could afford for now, but rather than the price, he was more concerned about the item. Jiang Cheng was itching to start the bidding, so Long Chen whispered, “Xiaolang, I think something’s wrong with Jiang Cheng.”

“I think he wants to buy the Soul Binder and then attack you. He’s probably going to act once he gets it. Big Brother, what is he trying to get from you?” Xiaolang was still clueless.

“What a stupid wolf. He’s clearly targeting you, not your big brother!” The fat cat sighed as he rolled around in the Primordial Realm.

“I see.” Long Chen nodded. “No wonder he kept mentioning you. It seems that he knows a lot about demonic beasts. He probably knows that you are a Sun Devouring Wolf and knows what kind of ability you have. Maybe that’s why he wants to buy the Soul Binder. He will use it to control you. Xiaolang, you are still a Category Nine Earth-tier beast. If he captures and feeds you, he will eventually have a Category Six Heaven-tier beast as his bodyguard!”

“Wow. He’s so devious. If we hadn’t noticed the behavior of the guards when we came into the city, we might’ve been tricked by him. What a despicable man,” Xiaolang said angrily.

“Jiang Cheng is indeed very cunning. He probably already knew what items would be in the auction, which is why he wanted to come here first. He even got me the demonic core because he was certain that you would be able to consume it and increase your strength with it. That’s why he’s so happy even though he spent so much money on it.” Long Chen was secretly shocked that rather than targeting him, Jiang Cheng was targeting Xiaolang.

If his plan succeeded, Jiang Cheng would definitely benefit greatly. Even Long Chen was secretly admiring Xiaolang’s talent. If he nurtured Xiaolang properly, his little brother would really reach the peak of all demonic beasts. Jiang Cheng would literally become the luckiest man in the world if he used the Soul Binder on Xiaolang.

He probably came to Yellow Martial City to buy the Soul Binder but coincidentally saw me fighting the Martial Alliance and took a slight interest in me. But then he saw Xiaolang and followed me. He even tricked me into coming to Yellow Martial City! Long Chen chuckled when he realized what was happening. He was originally very grateful for Jiang Cheng, but now that he knew the plan, all his gratitude was gone.

“Big Brother, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry. He’s only at the Third Passage Stage, so I’m stronger than him. Since he’s underestimating us, let’s just wait and see what happens to him. I might be able to obtain some Heavenly Passage Pills from him instead!” Long Chen chuckled.

Jiang Cheng was currently bidding for the collar. The Soul Binder was indeed a rare treasure. The price soon climbed up to ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills.

He’s cunning, but it seems that he comes from a rich family. He’s completely unphased by the idea of spending ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. Long Chen was secretly surprised because he himself only had seventy pills. It wasn’t even enough for him to reach the Second Passage Stage once he entered the Heavenly Passage Realm in the future.

The bidding for the Soul Binder was nearing its end as very few people were still placing bids, but Jiang Cheng was the richest man around. He got impatient and immediately raised the price to fifteen thousand pills. Everyone else remained silent.

Jiang Cheng successfully obtained the Soul Binder.

He happily put it away once the auction was over and patted Long Chen’s shoulder. “Brother Yang, the auction has finally ended. Sorry for taking up your time.”

“Brother Jiang, you are too humble. You bought me the demonic core, so it was worth the wait. I, Long Chen, don’t know how to repay you!”

“Long Chen?” Jiang Cheng was taken aback because his name had changed …

“Long Chen? Brother Jiang, is something wrong?” Long Chen was too used to saying his own name, so he had accidentally blurted it out.

“Oh … Uh … It’s nothing, then. Since the auction is over, let’s go get your identity token!” Jiang Cheng just brushed it off, assuming he had misheard.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang. Once I enter the Ancient Demon Domain and become successful, I will repay you for your help today!”

“No worries. Fate is what brought us together.”

Fate my ass! Long Chen silently cursed in his heart.
