Chapter 120 Hannagan Pass
Just when everyone was ready to fight.
A sinister voice was heard in Box No. 1 of the auction hall.
"I am a disciple of the Ye family. I hope you all will give me some respect. The Ye family would like to thank you all."
As soon as the words fell.
The auction hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
In box number seven.
Luis only felt that there was a strange atmosphere brewing in the auction hall, which was completely different from the harmonious and enthusiastic atmosphere just now.
On the auction table.
When the old man from the Zhou family heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, but he seemed to be afraid and looked like he dared not speak out.
Seeing that no one was talking, the voice in Box No. 1 sounded again: "In that case, Ye would like to thank you all for your kindness."
The Ye family cultivator cupped his hands proudly and said, "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
The Zhou family elder on the auction stage had an unpleasant look on his face, but due to the rules, he still said in a deep voice: "The guest in Box 1 bid 10,000 spiritual stones. Is there anyone who can bid higher?"
He asked several times, but no one answered.
Seeing the old man from the Zhou family asking questions, the cultivator from the Ye family in Box 1 became a little impatient and urged, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please hurry up. Didn't you see that everyone has given up bidding?"
The old man from the Zhou family ignored him and continued asking questions.
At this moment, the face of the Ye family's foundation-building cultivator turned completely ugly.
He wanted to get angry, but seemed to consider that this was Zhou family's territory, so he had to suppress his unhappiness.
In box number seven.
Luis suddenly heard a rapid gasp beside him. He turned around and saw Han Mo with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was ready to eat anyone.
"Han Mo, what's wrong with you?"
Luis said with concern. This was the strongest alchemist of Hartmann Family.
"The Ye family! The Ye family!"
Han Mo Gritted his teeth with a look of pain, looking like a madman.
He seemed to understand something, turned his head and looked in the direction of Box No. 1, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have a grudge against the Ye family?"
"There's a vendetta! A blood feud!"
Han Mo eyes were red and bloodshot, as he gritted his teeth.
Just at this moment.
A rough voice came from the No. 6 box next to him: "Wait, who said no one bids? I bid 11,010 spiritual stones!"
Hearing these arrogant words, the stagnant atmosphere in the auction hall was completely broken.
"Twelve thousand and one spirit stones!"
"Fellow Daoist, please think carefully. Do you really want to be an enemy of our Ye family?"
Seeing this situation, the Ye family cultivator in Box No. 1 became anxious and threatened in public.
At this time.
The rough voice in Box 6 sounded again: "Hey, old man from the Zhou family, someone is always threatening here. Does your Zhou family care about it?"

Hearing this.
The old man from the Zhou family suppressed his ecstasy and said, "The guests in Box 1, Please follow the rules of this auction house, otherwise I will have to ask you to leave."
In box number one.
Ye Xicheng's face flushed red, and his whole body was filled with vitality, as if he was about to attack in the next second. As the largest immortal cultivation family in Yangzhou Prefecture, the Ye family had never been humiliated like this before.
But thinking that this was Guang'an Prefecture, and thinking of the embarrassing situation the Ye family had been in over the years, Ye Xicheng had to endure it.
"Thirteen thousand spirit stones!"
In accordance with the auction rules, he offered a price that made him feel extremely painful.
"Fourteen thousand and one spirit stones!"
"you…"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing the disgusting bidding sound in box number six, Ye Xicheng could no longer bear it and stood up suddenly, with the might of a foundation-building cultivator completely erupting.
In an instant, everyone in the hall felt an great pressure. Qi Refiners were completely panicking.
Ye Family is really brave in the Zhou Family Territory. As a largest Family in Yangzhou Prefecture, the ancestor of Ye Family is also a Golden Core Cultivator.
The strength of Ye family Ancestor is Late stage while strength of Zhou Family is only at Early Stage.
"What? Is this the character of the Ye family cultivators? Are you trying to force the purchase because you can't afford the price?"
In box number six, a rough voice sounded again, and along with it was an aura that was even more terrifying than Ye Xicheng's.
"Little bastard from the Ye family, others may be afraid of your Ye family, but I, Lei Zhen, am not!"
"He is actually a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Wow, who is he?"
"...."
The auction hall was thrown into chaos as the two men became increasingly hostile.
Ye Xicheng sensed the other party's late foundation building cultivation, and a flash of panic passed through his eyes.
But when he thought that this was the Ten Thousand Star Sea, the Zhou family's Guang'an Prefecture, not the extremely chaotic battlefield of Izumo Kingdom.
Ye Xicheng felt relieved again. He said sternly, "Humph! A a Casual Cultivator dare to Insult Ye Family! No wonder Izumo Kingdom dare to call us Ten Thousand Star Sea Residents a Barbarians."
This broad insult lit a fuse among the other cultivators present.
Even a few Qi Refining cultivators joined in the bidding out of spite, turning the auction into a complete farce.
Ye Xicheng knew he had no chance of obtaining the Zhou family's Water Spirit Bead today.
"Hmph! The hospitality of Guang'an Prefecture is duly noted. I, Ye Xicheng, will remember this insult!"
With those words, he stormed out in fury.
As the Ye family cultivator departed, the auction hall erupted into cheers.
"Good riddance! Who cares about those Ye family dogs?"
"Fleeing with your tail between your legs! And you dare call yourself a cultivator?"
"How dare he call us Ten Thousand Star Island Cultivators a Barbarian. Did he Forget his Ye Family also resides here"
The jeering echoed throughout the hall.
Ye Xicheng's face turned ashen, but he said nothing as he left.
After a while the Auction continued as usual.
"Fellow Daoist, since he has left let's continue the Bidding."
The Cultivator from Box No 6 continued the bidding.
"14,500 Spiritual Stones."
At this time, box no 9 also bid.
"14,600 Spiritual Stones."
Box no 6: "15,000 Spiritual Stones."
Box no 9: "16,000 Spiritual Stones."
At this moment the Box no 9 won the Water Spirit Bead.
As the auction ended, Luis and his friend left the auction house together.
Along the way, Han Mo was in low spirits and said nothing.
Luis and others, who didn't know what was going on, didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only stay by his side quietly.
Few moments later, they reached the Hartmann Flying Sword.
"Han Mo, we are here."
"Oh, are we there yet?"
After just a trip to the auction house, Han Mo looked much older, with a hint of decadence in his eyes.
"I am sorry, Boss. I remembered some Bad memories."
Inside the shop, Han Mo forced a smile at Luis and said.
"Don't try to hide it. You can say how you and Ye family have enmity."
Hearing this, Han Mo emotions became a little excited again.
He took a deep breath, slowly calmed down his emotions, and said in a low voice: "You should have heard about the Hannagan Pass battle between Ten Thousand Star Island and Izumo Kingdom forty years ago?"
Luis nodded. Although he was not from this world, these past few month he has learned a lot of information.
But from what Han Mo said at this time, it seemed that there was another hidden story behind this battle.
Hannagan Pass, as one of the seven immortal cities established by Qianyuan Sword Sect in Izumo Kingdom Border.
It has always played the role of guarding the southern front of Izumo Kingdom.
But forty years ago, this stronghold fell during a devastating defeat.
Because of this incident, the Ten Thousand Star Islands Cultivators, who were the defending force, were often criticized by Cultivators from all Prefectures when they returned back to the Ten Thousand Star Sea.
When Luis recounted the commonly known history of the Hannagan Pass battle, Han Mo let out a bitter laugh.
"Utter nonsense!" Han Mo scoffed, a tinge of mockery in his tone. "The story you know is just the facade spun by the Qianyuan Sword Sect. The truth of the battle is far different, because…"
He paused, the pain evident on his face.
"Because fifty years ago, I was one of the soldiers stationed at Hannagan Pass."
