Celestial Peak

Chapter 189: Devil and Holy

"2,500,000,000! Going once! Going twice! And sold to the First Young Master of the Wang Family." Xiaorong was full of smiles as she stared at the third VIP room.

For a youth to throw 2.5 billion stellar stones was insane and the part she would receive from this would be extremely high. She was happy, and this was merely the first major auction of the night.

Wang Ling getting the Devil's Curse at the price of 2.6 billion was simply unexpected. He did not even let the other guests contend with him for the Devil's Curse. If he wanted it, he would get it.

The auction continued without anyone saying anything towards Wang Ling's action of shutting the three VIP rooms. There were others who found his actions preposterous, but there are those who enjoyed them.

Wang Ling did not care about them in the least and he just yawned as he watched the second item to be presented to the world. This time around, the item that was shown to them was a book.

It was a book, a martial technique that focuses on swordsmanship to be exact. It was no cultivation manual or body refinement technique. It was a martial technique.

"This is book was unearthed from the deepest parts of the Devil's Catacombs. In the deepest parts of the catacombs, it was enshrined and seemed to have been revered by many devil cultivators of the past.

"The book holds secrets that are deeper than anyone could wish to uncover. However, it may be a book, but the words and letters were written inside it are written in words we could not understand and comprehend. It was complicated to the point we could not understood its title."

"But the denseness of the mixed hellish and devilish qi makes the book very valuable to any cultivators of the devil path. Even if it cannot provide with any proper martial technique, the dense aura of pure devilish and hellish qi will help improve your cultivation through leaps and bounds. This book may also stimulate you and let you gain enlightenment."

"The starting bid would be 1,600,000,000!"

No one said anything, none seem to have any care about the books that had found itself as a piece of the main attraction. It was weird, that it made the atmosphere of the room a little bit weird.

But a minute later, an offer came from the third VIP room, "1,600,000,000! If no one wishes to bid for this, I will gladly take this out of your hands so we could move on."

Xiaorong heard Wang Ling and no one came to follow up, she nodded her head as she announced, "The book of the devil will belong to the third VIP room!"

It was a surprise to everyone that Wang Ling would bought something like that.

Not that they had anything against him buying the book. It is just that Wang Ling's position in the world of cultivation stood at the opposite river of devil cultivators. He buying such an item for such a ridiculous amount of stones made others look at him unpleasantly.

They thought he was making fun of them devil cultivators. Someone from the opposite river gets buys the item of your people you could not afford in your face not that it was something bad, but was so much as inappropriate.

There were two mainly known sides in the world of cultivation. The light and dark, or the devils and holies. Choose one side and remain there unless you will it to be treated as a rogue.

But Wang Ling cared not for these thoughts. He simply did not give a fuck about the thoughts of others about his purchase to the book.

But Xie Hai who was in the room beside him suddenly shouted out loud, "Are you mocking devil cultivators? Do you think you can act like so and not think of the consequences? One of the so-called greatest rising geniuses in the cultivation world who sides with the holy ones actually dare purchase a book of devil martial technique, do you not even see what you are doing is merely you offending everyone with you wanting to flaunt your money?"

A bang was heard from inside Xie Hai's room and he shouted, "You arrogant bastard of that self-righteous side, do not look down upon us devil cultivators else I will put you in your place."

Xie Hai's words garnered much attention and that was his intention. His words sparked others to chime in and bashed Wang Ling and claimed what he was doing is something inappropriate.

Dozens of cultivators Saints to Celestials chimed as they cursed at Wang Ling for reason that was ever so vague. Their envy seemed to beginning to appear through this act of cursing.

The only side that did not said anything about the situation was the Feng Clan of the second VIP room and the True Devil Academy of the first VIP room. Other than them, almost every male were hating on Wang Ling. The women were pitying and sympathizing with what he was going through.  

But then, a burst of laughter came out of the third VIP room which made even more people madder at Wang Ling. Even the neutral ones were feeling rather offended.

"You people are one of the most hypocrite bunch I have seen in a good while and I have been meeting a lot of Young Masters from other families so you should reflect on that. My actions were not to displease you hypocrites because if you were displeased by someone of my position purchasing such a book, then purchase it yourselves. Put it into action now, to those who jeered at me, come and pay up 1,600,000,000 and it will be yours!"

No one answered back. Everyone was silent as no one tried to purchase it from him.  

Wang Ling turned to the fourth VIP room and said, "Eunuch, stop your blabbing else we will not be fighting with words. Also, who claimed that it would be inappropriate for someone like myself to purchase such a book?

"I am considered as someone from the Heaven Realm, correct as a skill of mine directly correlates with the qi of Heaven Realm. But what difference does that make? Devils and Holy Beings are both essentially the same other than the way they cultivate. But the two is practically two sides of the same coin.

"A war between the two sides may have occurred in the past, but that does not have anything to do with me. I am but a mere cultivator trying to unravel the mysteries of the cultivation world, and if I need to delve in the world of devil cultivators, I would gladly do so as devil cultivators do not differ from everyone else. After all, both sides seek to become divine beings who have the power to shape and control their destinies."

The following words of Wang Ling made these people shut their mouths as they listened to his mocking and condescending tone.

A clap emerged from the awkward atmosphere, it came from the first VIP room, "Well put, young lad. To those who have a narrow mind, everyone think that devil cultivators are overbearing, but it seems like someone from the opposite river understands the path of devil cultivators tread even more so than hypocrites who thinks otherwise."

These words came from the elder of the True Devil Academy, it shut the mouth of many, including Xie Hai.

The tense atmosphere did not revert to normal and as the final item was presented and bought by the first VIP room, the auction ended.

Wang Ling left with Qifu and Bai Xue. Many stared at him with different looks.

He did not care about the repercussions of his actions and how many people he had offended just now. Returning to the inn, he wrote a letter and drop a bit of blood essence on the paper.

He gave the paper to Qifu and two vials of refined blood essence from his Great Holy Lord bloodline.

"Take care of the people who will try to follow me as I leave this city. Kill those who try anything against me, and then, after a week of confirming you have completed these, you have to bring that letter to the True Devil Academy and the vials of blood to Yue'er."

Qifu nodded his head.

A day later, Wang Ling left and Qifu stopped anyone who tried to follow Wang Ling and a week later, he sent the things he was asked to deliver.

The letter to the True Devil Academy and he was on his way to Wang Yue.

In the True Devil Academy, for two seconds, a dense hellish qi and minutes later, orders to find the Bloodbath Devil was issued to the students and teachers of True Devil Academy.
