One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 67 Opening (4400 words)
It's the third day of the underground auction, and today's venue is particularly lively.

Not only were all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the door, but the security guards on site had also doubled.

Just because today is an important day for exhibiting that Wu Dynasty item!
Su Ti, Xu Shouyang and the other two were allowed to enter the auction hall after a strict inspection. Su Ti keenly noticed that there were three Hunyuan realm masters who were guarding the venue today.

Xu Shouyang looked at the meticulous arrangement and sighed.

"I have been to the Jiang family's auction several times, but never before has it been as rigorous and lively as it is now. It seems that the Wu Dynasty item being promoted this time is indeed not simple."

Xu Jun was also curious.

"Dad, what on earth is that Wu Dynasty item that could attract so many wealthy people to bid for it?"

"Haha, the Jiang family has kept that item very secret, and it hasn't been revealed yet. But according to gossip, it seems to be related to the largest ancient martial arts sect during the Wu Dynasty."

Hearing this, Suti's eyes moved.

"The largest ancient martial arts sect, could it be the Shenwu Sect?"

"Well, Xiao Su, you also know about Shenwu Sect?"

Xu Shouyang smiled.

Suti nodded.

"Uncle Xu, you must be joking. After all, I am a history student, so I know a little about the most powerful sect in the Wu Dynasty."

The so-called text has no first, Wu has no second.

The most prosperous and flourishing dynasty of ancient martial arts was the Wu Dynasty. The ancient martial arts schools of this dynasty could even compete with the contemporary imperial court. Their names spread throughout the world and were known to everyone.

The strongest sect in the Wu Dynasty was the Shenwu Sect, which is even clearly recorded in history books.

Moreover, as a martial artist, Su Ti knows more secrets of the Shenwu Sect than ordinary people.

Shenwu Sect is the first ancient martial arts sect in history and the founder of all ancient martial arts sects.

It is the authentic ancient martial arts. Its disciples branched out and created various schools, with a hundred schools of thought contending with each other, which led to the prosperous ancient martial arts dynasty.

Including the current ancient martial arts sects, there are still many that are descendants of the branches of the Shenwu Sect. The ancient martial arts they practice are passed down from the Shenwu Sect.

However, such a powerful sect, at its most prosperous time, its headquarters was suddenly destroyed overnight. The sect leader, supreme elders, and direct disciples disappeared, and countless ancient martial arts techniques, classics, and elixirs disappeared without a trace.

In the following half month, various branch temples of the Shenwu Sect suffered disasters one after another. Some were razed to the ground overnight, while others were inexplicably disbanded, and the disciples disappeared without a trace.

Just like that, this strongest ancient martial arts sect fell apart in a very short time and disappeared completely.

No one knows what exactly happened. The destruction of Shenwu Gate is also a mystery in history, and it even supports a group of historians to study it as a subject.

"It is said that this Wu Dynasty antique is related to the heritage of Shenwumen."

Xu Shouyang said with a chuckle.

"I don't know if it's hype or true, but rumors are spreading that the Wu Dynasty cursed antiques auctioned by the Jiang family this time may contain clues to the Shenwu Sect's heritage."

"The Shenwu Sect's headquarters was destroyed overnight, and the remaining branches were destroyed and disbanded within half a month. This kind of catastrophe of a large force must have been driven by an even more powerful force, and it must have wiped out the roots. Will the Shenwu Sect really have any legacy left?"

Mr. Xu also graduated from the history department, so he naturally expressed strong doubts about this.

Xu Shouyang shook his head.

"It's hard to say. The demise of Shenwu Sect is full of doubts in history. The biggest suspect is the imperial court at the time, but the imperial court at the time did not admit that they were responsible. Although there is a lot of evidence pointing to them, no conclusive evidence can be produced. Regardless of whether it was the imperial court that did it, a sect as famous as Shenwu Sect would not have no premonition when danger came. If they sensed the danger, they might have left a huge legacy to prepare for the restoration of the sect."

Hearing this, Su Ti couldn't help but feel a little moved. If the Shenwu Sect really left behind any legacy, that would be amazing!
It is said that today's ancient martial arts are dozens of times weaker than those of the Wu Dynasty era. Apart from anything else, for today's martial artists, reaching the extraordinary realm is already the end, and there is no way to go any further.

The ancient martial arts from the Wu Dynasty era had reached a level above breaking limits, which was much stronger than it is now!

Once the legacy of Shenwu Sect is truly obtained, it means that current ancient warriors may be able to move forward!

This is such an exciting thing, enough to attract all the ancient martial artists to come and fight to the death!
Xu Shouyang laughed again.

“But then again, when I was young, I was quite interested in the history of Shenwumen. I also looked up all the relevant unofficial histories, but there was no mention of the Shenwumen’s legacy, nor was there any information proving that they left any legacy.

So this incident is very likely a rumor deliberately released by the Jiang family. If you want to sell antiques at a high price, you have to make up a story and hype them up. Judging from the results, the Jiang family's hype was undoubtedly very successful. Regardless of whether this Wu Dynasty item is related to the legacy of the Shenwu Sect, I estimate that it will be sold for an astronomical figure in the end. "

Xu Jun shrugged indifferently after hearing this. Anyway, they came here just to watch the fun and they were not really planning to auction it. To put it bluntly, this matter had little to do with them.

After the three of them took their seats early, other sellers continued to pour in, and the number of people on site soon exceeded three hundred.

Seeing that there were many more people around than in the previous two days of the auction, Suti understood.

It seems that these people came here just for the auction of the Wu Dynasty Cursed Antiques, otherwise they would not have skipped the first two days and only come on the third day.

Although it was a bit noisy due to the large number of people, Su Ti still felt the aura of many people present. The strongest among them were undoubtedly the Hunyuan masters, and there were quite a few of them, but Su Ti did not detect the aura of extraordinary warriors.

At this moment, a woman in a black windbreaker came over, followed by several people sitting about ten meters away from Suti's left. Although the other party's aura was not strong, a strange feeling made Suti look over there. As if feeling Suti's gaze, the woman in the windbreaker also looked back.

The two of them looked at each other, and Su Ti's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he looked away.

Something was wrong. The woman in the windbreaker gave him the feeling of some ferocious beast that was trying its best to restrain its breath, but the breath she released inadvertently made Su Ti feel awe-inspiring.

"Is he a master who used a special technique to hide his aura? It seems that this auction is not that simple."

Su Ti thought so in his heart.

On this side, the woman glanced at Suti and then looked away.

A lazy male voice beside him said.

"Master, have you found the target?"

Lin Qingyao shook her head.

"No, those guys are very good at hiding their auras. They are not that easy to spot."

Having said that, Lin Qingyao also glared at the young man who spoke.

"An Xuan, you better be serious. That guy will definitely make a move at today's auction."

An Xuan curled his lips and said helplessly.

"As a technician, what can I do to help? I can only collect and analyze intelligence. As for the fighting and killing, I have to rely on you guys."

Even as they were talking, several voices were whispering in the dark corner far behind them.

"People from the Category 3 Bureau are here. Will they find us?"

"No, according to the adults, our existence has its own aura that allows us to hide, and they will never be able to find us unless we take action." The person who said this was the young man who persuaded Weiya that day. At this moment, there were several people of different appearances around him. They were the ones who were eating raw meat in the box that day, and Weiya was among them.

At this time, Wei Ya's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. She stared at the people around her, licked her lips, and whispered in a suppressed hungry voice.

"Yang An, wait for the signal from the adults and then we will take action. Not only do we want to get the inheritance token of Shenwu Sect, but we also want to make the most of it today!"

As soon as these words came out, bloodthirsty light flashed in the eyes of her companions. Only the young man Yang An, who had once persuaded her, still had a little rationality.

"Sister Wei Ya, this is not good. After all, the order we received was from that token. It's better not to cause any more trouble."

"Cause more trouble? Yang An, aren't you hungry?"

Being stared at by the other party with bloodthirsty eyes, Yang An swallowed and covered his stomach.

"It's a bit hungry to keep eating the meat of those animals, but..."

"No buts." Wei Ya glanced at the people around her, her eyes as if she was looking at pieces of steak, and said while licking the corner of her mouth.

"Our strength comes from eating. The more we eat, the stronger we become. Don't you want to further enhance your strength after completing the mission?"

"In this cruel world, even adults can only protect us for how long? In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Looking at the hesitation on Yang An's face, Wei Ya seemed to see her former self, so weak and cowardly, which was why she was always bullied and hunted.

Touching the knife and gunshot wounds on her body, Wei Ya's eyes became even colder. What did she do wrong? She just wanted to live and have enough to eat.

"Yang An, remember, this is a world where people eat each other. If you don't eat others, others will come to eat you. You can either eat or be eaten. It's your choice."

Yang An was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.

As time went on, pieces were sold one by one, and the highlight came.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, as the 30th lot was sold, a middle-aged man wearing a gray Tang suit and with his hair neatly combed walked onto the auction stage.

Also walking onto the auction stage was a beautiful lady in cheongsam, holding a square object covered with a layer of red cloth in her hand.

After putting it on the auction table, she stepped back, leaving the middle-aged man standing alone on the stage. He picked up the microphone and said.

"Dear friends, distinguished guests, you have come from afar to attend our Jiang family's auction. I, Jiang Heng, would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support."

The people in the audience were all looking at Jiang Heng. He was the second in command of the Jiang family, and he was actually presiding over the auction of this last item in person. One could imagine how valuable this last item was.

Everyone's breathing couldn't help but become heavier.

After Jiang Heng said a few simple polite words, he went straight to the point.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense, and will go straight to the final stage. The highlight of our auction is a mysterious antique from the Zhiwu Dynasty."

After saying that, Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and the red silk covering the auction table was torn off.

In the square transparent glass cover, there is a token that is completely black with countless mysterious patterns on the surface. In the middle of the front is written the word "Shen" in golden ancient script, and on the back is written the word "Wu".

"Legend has it that the ancient Shenwu Sect was the founder of all ancient martial arts sects in the world. It prospered for 138 years, but mysteriously collapsed in just half a month. No one knows the reason. Countless historians are still studying the doubts."

"A month ago, a tomb-robbing gang accidentally dug up a tomb of a descendant of the Shenwu Sect. In this tomb, they obtained a large amount of precious historical materials, as well as five inheritance tokens of the Shenwu Sect."

"According to the data, it is said that before the demise of the Shenwu Sect, its leader had backed up a large number of ancient martial arts, transferred elixirs, and packed up a large amount of gold and silver in the sect and sealed them up in a place no one knew about. As the relics of the Shenwu Sect, anyone with the inheritance token can find and enter the burial site and inherit the relics."

"What we are auctioning now is one of the inheritance tokens that contains clues to the relics of Shenwu Sect. Although this token is not clear, it is genuine and worth its price. This auction adopts a no-reserve auction model, and each bid must not be less than 100,000. Please bid in an orderly manner."

After Jiang Heng finished saying this, many people in the audience began to whisper.

"seriously."

"The legacy of Shenwumen has all come out."

"If there really is such a legacy, it would have been almost a thousand years ago."

"Listen to his nonsense. These auction houses will do anything to get high prices."

Among the buyers who came to participate, most of them scoffed at Jiang Heng's statement.

If this token was really related to the huge legacy of the Shenwu Sect, the Jiang family would have definitely found it themselves. Why would they be willing to auction it off? Isn't this clearly a scam?

However, there are still a small number of buyers with gleams in their eyes. They are people with special identities and have various sources of information.

The Shenwu Gate inheritance token auctioned by the Jiang family this time is real.

There is a reason why they chose to auction it on this occasion instead of keeping it for their own use.

This token is too hot.

Ever since the Jiang family took over unexpectedly, it has been coveted and watched by many mysterious forces, so they had no choice but to choose this way to sell it.

It is better to say that it is handing over this hot potato to another person or force in person so that one can get out of this trouble.

Although Suti didn't know all this, he was also very interested in this token and raised his hand directly.

"five million."

As soon as he made a price quote, another man in the distance raised his electronic sign to make a price quote.

"Six million."

The next second, a bald man wearing a loose martial arts uniform stood up from Su Ti's right and directly offered a price of 10 million. He also cupped his hands and said, "We at Luo Lie Sect want this token. I hope you will give us some face."

The man's voice was full of energy, and even without a microphone, his voice was resounding throughout the venue. As soon as Su Ti heard it, he knew that he was another master of the Hunyuan realm. The voices of ordinary people are limited by their bodies and cannot be so loud. Only warriors who have reached Hunyuan and can control the qi and blood in their whole body to exert force can make such a loud voice by relying on the resonance of qi and blood.

But as soon as this person said this, someone behind him sneered, and the sound also echoed throughout the venue.

"Your Luo Lie Sect is nothing. This is about the relics of the Shenwu Sect. Not to mention the small Luo Lie Sect, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not give in. Our Qingsong Sword Sect offers 15 million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many warrior buyers were instantly shocked.

You have to know that the Qingsong Sword Sect has two extraordinary masters in charge. Although their territory is not in Wenyang City, no one dares to underestimate them. They are competing for the inheritance token of the Shenwu Sect. Ordinary small sects don't have the courage to compete with the Qingsong Sword Sect.

But then immediately another domineering voice shouted.

"Iron Spear Society, 20 million."
