Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 60

All the people in the House of Gathering became stern, and all of them maintained a position that they could attack at any moment. However, Zhuang Feifei actually seemed much more relaxed. She lightly twisted her waist and walked to sit opposite the little girl. Her short skirt could barely contain the spring colors of a certain place. She raised her legs and looked at the little girl. She smiled and said, ""If you only come for money, then you have no qualms about it. The reason why I asked for it was because I was worried that you might have encountered some trouble that you couldn"t solve. ""

The little girl said, ""Even in the Vast Vast Mountain Range, we can deal with even more ferocious magical beasts. However, we have to be even more careful with the people from the Vast Berserts Mountain. When the patriarch had died, he had said that the most ruthless was the hearts of the people. ""

Zhuang Feifei smiled and said, ""Your Patriarch will be able to teach you all of this, that he is not bad to you.""

""He"s my father,"" said the girl.

The little girl answered very simply. Her eyes had a maturity that didn"t match the age. However, in Zhuang Feifei"s eyes, this maturation seemed more of a pretence.

""My name is Gu Qianye.""

""I"m the leader of the Ancient Hunt Clan, so I have the right to trade with you.""

Zhuang Feifei said, ""You came to the right place because only I know the value of that item.""

The little girl shook her head, ""No, your guests know now.""

An Zheng looked at the crowd, and greed glinted in most of their eyes, including Elder Liu who seemed to be barely moving. The most straightforward and unrestrained light of this greed was Zhen Zhuang Bi.

""What is it, An Zheng?""

Du Shoushou couldn"t hold back and asked.

""Fish Scale,"" An Zheng replied.

""Of course I know it"s fish scale, but what"s a holy fish?""

""No idea.""

Gu Qianye glanced at An Zheng contemptuously, then continued to Zhuang Feifei, ""It"s not unreasonable for me to choose your House of Commons, because I know you are the most valuable place in the Illusionary world. I"m not greedy, I can even lower the value of the saint fish scales to the lowest level of treasures in your Gathering Court. All of them, I will give you the scales of the sacred fish. ""

""Ha ha ha ha ha.""

Zhuang Feifei"s smiling face trembled. ""Little girl, are you joking? Because of an unreal legend, I want to exchange all the treasures of the House of Champions for you. ""

Gu Qianye said, ""I"m not in the mood to bargain with you. I"m here to represent the entire Ancient Hunt Tribe.""

Zhuang Feifei put away her smile and shrugged her shoulders, ""You know yourself, this thing is only a symbol, and no one knows if it has any actual meaning. Although I don"t have any great treasures in the Shang House, it would be enough to cause a b.l.o.o.d.y disaster if I pour everything out of the cave. So your request was a bit excessive. ""

Gu Qianye stood up. ""Since you"re not interested in making a deal, then I"ll go find someone else. The House of Commons was the first choice in the illusionary world, but it was not the only one. As far as I know, there"s an auction house in the Illusionary Land, called the Delpenheim.

Zhuang Feifei nodded, ""Looks like you"ve come prepared as well. I know that the only person who has the ability to trade with you other than my sect gathering academy is the Pure Jade House. If that"s the case, give me two hours to consider it. ""

The little girl was silent for a moment, then she nodded. ""Very well then, two hours.""

Zhuang Feifei stood up and waved her hand, causing several experts to come close. An Zheng saw Zhuang Feifei giving a few words of explanation, but because she had a veil blocking her view, she didn"t know what to say either. Only then did An Zheng understand that the effect of that thin veil was truly unthinkable. After Zhuang Feifei had finished speaking, several people from the House of Champion left.

""It"s easier now, since the door was sealed, let"s continue with the previous game.""

Zhuang Feifei smiled and said, ""I"ve already sent people to ask for instructions. I will reply after two hours.""

She looked at Gu Qianye and said, ""Anyway, I"m waiting to play with you too?""

Gu Qianye shook his head without saying anything.

Zhuang Feifei clapped her hands and a dozen burly men walked up from behind with a gigantic object. The thing was covered with a red cloth, so he could see only a silhouette. The rectangle was a little bigger than the end.

""d.a.m.n unlucky thing!""

Zhen Zhuangbi, who was sitting in the distance, spat, ""He actually carried a coffin over.""

An Zheng didn"t care. From time to time, Shan Ye turned his head to look at the fish"s scale and quickly withdrew his head. But after a while, he seemed to ease a little.

""I feel very depressed.""

""I feel like this the second time,"" Du Shoushou said, and he patted his chest.

""When is the first time?"" An Zheng wondered.

Du Shoushou said, ""The first time... it was years ago, when I was about six or seven. We are all poor at home, so we all watch other people"s homes to set off firecrackers. We can"t afford to live in our own country. One year, the rich people in South Hill Street set off firecrackers, and then the servants of the house swept out trash like cannon and piled them outside. I was just pa.s.sing by, and when I saw no one saw me, I flipped through the sh.e.l.l of the cannon and found that several of them had not exploded. There were big and small. ""

Du said, ""Small is as big as a little finger, big enough to have my arm. I was so happy that I ran home with the firecrackers in my arms and ran out again after I found the fire piston. Because I"m afraid my parents will scold him, I"ll find a place that is spa.r.s.ely populated. I couldn"t bear to leave the biggest one left. Then, I thought, I have to make it shine. ""

""I see a latrine in the alley and I don"t normally go there. Then I set the biggest fireball on the toilet. Who would have thought that... there were people in the latrine. The firecracker"s power was great, and almost half of the toilet was blown up. A big man ran out with his pants in his hand and grabbed me, who was scared stiff. He grabbed the clothes on my chest and raised his hand to hit.

Du said with a sigh, ""At that time, I looked at his raised hand and felt extremely depressed.""

An Zheng laughed, ""I didn"t beat you to death, but that person is already kinder hearted.""

""Not only did he not beat me to death, he didn"t beat me up. He swore at me and left …He said, if it wasn"t for you exploding, I would have killed you today. When he left, I felt a little lonely as I carried the back of my pants. ""

An Zheng coughed and almost spat out tea.

Gao Sanduo heard these words, and their expressions were distorted. They wanted to laugh and feel too embarra.s.sed.

""Let"s see what that is.""

Zhuang Feifei walked up to the stage and pointed at the item under the red cloth, ""This is the first item of the day. Perhaps it is the last one because the Ancient Hunter Clan"s little Clan Chief seemed to be getting impatient. Therefore, everyone hurry up, I"ll double the prizes. Who can tell who the three stones are. ""

Zhen Zhuangbi withdrew his gaze from the fish scale. He waved his hand and swept out his energy, sweeping the red cloth down. Below the red cloth was a coffin.

However, when Zhen Zhuangbi saw this coffin, his expression changed. He walked a few steps up to the high platform, then carefully looked at it. ""Bronze coffin... water gas. Could it be something from the riverbed? I haven"t opened it yet, sir. You dare to bring it back? Everyone knows there are two parts of the coffin that cannot be touched. One is a floating coffin, the other a sarcophagus … especially a coffin. ""

Zhuang Feifei clapped her hands, ""Vice Princ.i.p.al Zhen is really good at eyesight. This thing is indeed under water, but it"s not from me, but it came out from the bottom.""

She explained, ""The mountains were flooded the previous days, and I don"t know where the water came from. It almost reached us in the Illusion. But luckily, there were many ravines in the mountains, so the water retreated faster than before. The coffin was washed out by water, and some people saw it and sold it to the House of Champions. ""

In the lower voice, Gao Sanduo said to An Lun, ""A coffin like this shouldn"t have been touched. However, some people specialized in this business for the sake of treasure theft. However, even those who specialized in this would not dare to touch the floating coffins and the coffins. Relatively speaking, what was normally sealed in a floating coffin wasn"t too frightening. It was enough to float in the air. However, the deeper and deeper the coffin was, the more dangerous it was. You see that it"s the strongest bronze coffin, it"s still sealed well, it means that hundreds of years or even thousands of years of soaking can"t destroy this coffin. ""

""The deep, deep water coffins will still have something to suppress them. They must have been swept away by the mountain torrent, so the bronze coffin was swept out. If I don"t look, let"s go. ""

When An Zheng saw Gao Sanduo was serious, he knew that he was actually worried. Most of the coffins were sealed with ferocious beasts. Once it was activated, blood would flow into rivers. And now the ancient hunters were sitting there, and later on, there was no one to fight. Gao was an old martial artist, so he naturally didn"t want to come here. Although An Zheng was curious about the scales, he was curious about the bronze coffin. However, his current strength was not enough, and he was also afraid that he would cause trouble to Du Shoushou.

He and Gao Sanduo were just about to get up to leave when Gu Man stood up and crossed his hunchback, ""Before today"s matter is resolved, no one can leave.""

Gao had been explaining to Zhuang Feifei, and he was immediately angered at Gu Man"s words, ""In the Illusionary Land, if I want to leave, no one can stop me.""

Gu Man wanted to make a move, but Gu Qianye glanced at Annie and said, ""Forget it, it"s just a few cowards. Let go.""

Gu Man retreated and stood beside Gu Qianye.

Gao Sanduo apologized to Zhuang Feifei and dragged An Zheng and Du Shoushou to the back door. Zhen Zhuangbi jeered behind him, ""Tail between your legs to escape.""

However, before he could finish his words, the scene had changed.

Before An Zheng could get to the door, the scales on the floor suddenly flew up and shot towards him. Everyone only had enough time to cry out in alarm as the scales had reached the back of An Zheng. However, the b.l.o.o.d.y scene did not appear. With a flash of purple light, the scales of the fish became as large as a fingernail, falling into the hands of An Zheng. Heu looked down and frowned slightly.

""You want to rob?!""

Gu Man and Zhen Zhuangbi shouted at the same time. They both wanted to attack.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Feifei was staring at An Zheng with a look of shock.

An Zheng looked at the item in his hand, and the scales became a small piece of jade, crystal clear. He flipped his hand and tried to throw it away, but the scales fell back on the floor and he was still struggling with An Zheng.

A complicated and strange expression appeared in Gu Qianye"s eyes when she saw this.

""Who... who the h.e.l.l are you?"" she asked.

An Zheng shook his head, placed the scales on the table, and then covered it with a piece of ink. ""Who I am is not important. What"s important is that I"m not interested in this item or the rumors of your Ancient Hunt clan.""

But then, he turned around and the scales flew off the inkstone, flying to his side. This time, the scales suddenly entered the bronze bell on Shan Ye"s neck, but it was no longer able to appear.

""Hand over!""

Gu Man and Zhen Zhuangbi simultaneously rushed over, the same ferocity they were in. Even Elder Liu, who seemed like a benevolent person, had a fierce look in his eyes.

Gu Man shouted, ""Your House of Pampas is unreasonable, you actually let people steal something! Master, I think we should take back our things and leave. We can go to the Deluxe Lesta. This Illusory World is not the only one of the House of the Champions. ""

At this time, the experts from the House of Commons who had left earlier returned and whispered something in Zhuang Feifei"s ears.

Zhuang Feifei laughed like a thousand-year-old fox demon. ""I"m sorry, but there"s only one auction house that can deal with you now. It"s already the past. Do you think it"s miraculous … How come a large auction house suddenly disappeared? It"s said that blood is flowing like a river, and there"s not a single person left. ""

Zhuang Feifei, who was laughing, was carrying a murderous aura."
