Chapter 1610 - An Unexpected Fight That Benefits A Third Party

Many of those present started breathing heavily when they saw the auction item that was being brought on stage.

A lot of them had come to this underground auction specifically for the slaves.

The siblings Shen Jue and Shen Yu were two such individuals. They had bid on other things just because those items happened to be there.

On stage, the auctioneer quickly removed the red cloth from the crystal display case.

Sealed inside the crystal was a living female being with a snake’s tail. Her upper body was no different from that of a human female and extremely impressive to boot.

She was completely n.a.k.e.d, with only a line of sigils encircling her neck. This was for controlling slaves and was concealable. The auction house had intentionally revealed it to show the guests that this slave was under restriction and controlled.

What primarily caught Lin Huang’s attention was that the snake lady’s tail was golden.

’They managed to capture something like this as well?’

He could not help giving vent to a secret exclamation about how capable the auction’s organizers were.

"The item being auctioned this round is a snake woman," the auctioneer said calmly upon seeing how stirred the crowd was, "I’m sure all our guests have noticed that this isn’t an ordinary snake woman, but a class-5 supreme god-level Golden-scaled Snake Woman.

"There’s a secret in the Snake Woman Tribe that most of the guests here might not be aware of. That is, the Snake Queen of each successive generation in the Tribe is selected from among the princesses. How then are these princesses selected?"

The auctioneer paused and looked around. He only answered the question, smiling, after seeing that nobody volunteered a reply.

"There’s only one selection requirement for the princesses in the Snake Woman Tribe—they have to be class-5 supreme god-level! It has nothing to do with their combat strength or their clan. As long as they’re class-5 supreme god-level, they will acquire the title of ’Princess’ right away and become a candidate for succession to the Snake Queen’s throne.

"If the Snake Queen dies and there’s only one princess, she doesn’t even have to go through any selection—she’ll directly inherit the position of Snake Queen.

"In other words, we’re auctioning off a princess of the Snake Woman Tribe. Who knows, she even might be the future Snake Queen!"

Lin Huang felt he had learned something new when he heard this. It was also his first time hearing the selection rules for choosing the Snake Queen’s successor.

The crowd went absolutely wild.

Everyone understood the underlying meaning of what the auctioneer was saying.

If they could obtain this Snake Woman princess and come up with a suitable plan—for instance, killing off the Snake Queen and the other Snake Woman princesses—they could have their slave inherit the Snake Queen’s position. This would give them control over the entire Snake Woman Tribe.

Although the population of the Snake Woman Tribe was low and they were not considered a major tribe in the God Territory, there might just be a half-step Lord in the tribe—perhaps even more than one.

Gaining control of a tribe like this would be the equivalent of controlling a top grade-6 organization.

Naturally, Lin Huang caught the hidden meaning behind the auctioneer’s words. However, he was not thinking about the affairs of the Snake Woman Tribe—rather, he was considering the situation in the Nephilic Judge Tribe.

Ever since Kylie’s elevation to class-6, she had become the queen of the entire Nephilic Judge Tribe. In actuality, this also meant that Lin Huang secretly controlled the fate of the entire Nephilic Judge Tribe.

The Nephilic Judge Tribe was much more powerful than the Snake Woman Tribe.

Among the numerous pieces of information she had passed on to Lin Huang, Kylie had conveyed a specific detail to him once.

There were only three visible half-step Lords in the Nephilic Judge Tribe, but the actual number might be double that. Furthermore, there might also be still-living lord-level patriarchs; it was just that they had not made an appearance in this era.

The abilities that this tribe displayed publicly were just the tip of the iceberg.

This was also why Lin Huang had dismissed the idea of using a summons to compel Kylie to return. Instead, he had agreed to Bloody’s plan, which was to have Kylie remain with the Nephilic Judge Tribe.

The siblings Shen Yu and Shen Jue were bidding continuously.

However, they were not the only wealthy ones present at the auction. There were also several others who kept bidding against the twins and were not willing to give up.

One lady even raised the bid to the price of a Dao Weapon, scaring off a few competitors.

It was not just the people present who were puzzled; even Lin Huang was confused at this.

A price like that was enough to buy a half-step lord-level slave.

This Golden-scaled Snake Woman was only third-rank heavenly god-level, after all. However incredible her potential, one would still need to invest in resources to train her.

As for what the auctioneer had said about controlling the entire Snake Woman Tribe through her, it was utterly ridiculous.

The Snake Queen of the present era was a half-step Lord. According to the succession rules for the Snake Queen that the auctioneer had described, the Snake Queen currently in power should be at least class-5 supreme god-level.

The abilities of a class-5 supreme god-level half-step Lord would certainly be outstanding even among half-step Lords. How could she be assassinated so easily?

Lin Huang could understand why Shen Yu and Shen Jue were bidding. After all, the pair loved to collect slaves.

However, he could not understand why the lady sitting in the same row as him was bidding so furiously.

Could it be that this lady had the same interests as the sibling?

However, in terms of wealth, in the end, it was still the twins who were more solid financially.

When the lady saw that the siblings were still bidding after she had raised the price to that of a Dao Weapon, she dropped out and did not continue.

The siblings seemed to have come to a quick agreement, and Shen Jue raised the bid for the Golden-scaled Snake Woman to the price of a Dao Weapon and two Pseudo-Dao Weapons.

Just when the auctioneer was about to announce that the bid had been successful, an incident suddenly occurred in the venue.

The lady in the same row as Lin Huang—the one who had been bidding—suddenly made a move. She thrust a hand out and made a snatch at the crystal that contained the Golden-scaled Snake Woman.

Even Lin Huang’s pupils contracted when he saw her claws. She was clearly a half-step Lord.

At that moment, a hand extended out of thin air on the stage and swung a punch at the lady’s sharp claws.

It was another half-step Lord!

Right as everyone’s attention was focused on the two half-step Lords, Lin Huang immediately went into action without any hesitation.

Two blood-red gleams shot out from his sleeve like faint, almost imperceptible electric arcs, heading straight for Shen Jue and Shen Yu.

The two half-step Lords immediately became aware of the covert assassin within their midst—Lin Huang. The lady ignored him, while the man who held her in check wanted to attempt a rescue. However, seeing that the lady wanted to seize the opportunity and circ.u.mvent him, he withdrew the hand he had extended.

The two half-step Lords started fighting once more.

Since everyone present was focused on the two half-step Lords, nobody else had noticed Lin Huang’s attack at all.

Shen Yu and Shen Jue were craning their necks to watch the battle as well. By the time death threatened them, even if they had wanted to react, it was already too late.

This time, within Lin Huang’s eighteen compounded levels of sequence power, not only were there multiple speed-type powers but there were also two concealment-type powers. Only when the attack presented itself right before Shen Jue and Shen Yu was its murderous intent revealed.

Two telekinetic flying daggers with eighteen compounded levels of sequence power and Sword Dao heavenly rule—both weapons on par with top-grade god sequence relics —pierced through the sibling’s heads like lightning bolts.

However, at this point, the half-step Lord at the auction finally had a moment to strike at Lin Huang with his palm.

"You stay right where you are!"

However, Lin Huang smirked, "You can’t make me."

The next instant, he suddenly crushed a card.

A golden saber gleam consolidated out of thin air before him. It was only a meter long and looked nothing out of the ordinary.

Of course, the saber gleam was not Lin Huang’s technique; he had replicated it using a Skill Card. It was the last trump card Saber9 had used when he killed Nine Gloom—the attack that had been triggered using the survival measures left behind by his Primordium.

Since the power of the attack remained below lord-level, the grade-5 Skill Card authorization that Lin Huang possessed happened to be able to replicate it, so he did just that.

In actuality, aside from Saber9’s attack, Lin Huang had also replicated the attack from Virtuoso’s survival measures.

He had done that to prevent a situation like this from happening.

He had never thought it would actually be put to use.

The golden saber gleam collided with the half-step Lord’s palm print, stirring up a terrifying energy storm.

"Is this fellow a half-step Lord as well?!"

Amid the two half-step Lords’ astonishment, Lin Huang’s figure had already vanished with the two headless corpses...
