Capítulo 584: Chapter 584. Brilliant Auction House's Fate.
The man naturally wouldn't take this nicely, and his face fell. "Dragon, who do you think you are? I give you a generous offer, and this is how you answer? Ha! As expected of a beast, manners and intelligence are lacking."
Yasenia finally lost her smile, and her face became frosty. "I've allowed your power to have one hundred of my Heaven-ranked items, yet instead of trying to create a beneficial collaboration, you are trying to steal the [Soul Enhancing Pills]?"
The man laughed coldly. "Disrespectful woman, I was offering a trade."
Yasenia barked a laugh. "A trade? How much? Ten trillion Flawless Parus? If your offer was below those numbers, then you are dreaming! Even that amount would not be enough to sell it!"
The man sneered. "You are delusional. It's only a pill. One hundred million Parus is more than enough! Especially for an upstart and new power like yours."
Yasenia felt a fire of anger burn inside her. "Only a pill? A pill that increases the soul that body cultivators have so much trouble cultivating is only a pill? My market is THE CONTINENT. How many people live is how many people want that pill! Are you still trying to deceive me, or do you think that I really do have mental troubles?"
Yasenia stood up, disregarding the hiding Tengliu, and summoned [Draconic Heart]. Her auras burst with extreme momentum and smashed onto the low-level Epoch Core cultivator.
This time, the auras weren't for intimidation, so she didn't hold back anything.
Soul, intents, aura, bloodline.
The very presence of Yasenia's existence materialized in the form of her draconic form and roared, making the air around her twist as the energies rampaged ferociously around her.
Everyone in the room felt as if someone had grabbed their heads and pushed them down into heavy water.
Their chest felt suffocated as their legs wanted to bend to the overpowering sense of the presence of the dragoness.
The man acted quickly, flapping his wings, creating distance, and summoning a sword himself. The shock of Yasenia's momentum confused him enough that his legs trembled as he asked with a stutter. "W-What are you!?"
If he put effort into it, he might be able to resist because of the entire realm in advantage. However, he was too terrified to try and fight back.
Moreover, he felt weak in her eyes, unlike those top-quality Epoch Core cultivators she had met until now.
Yasenia sensed extreme danger coming from him, but the feeling wasn't like in the past, of absolute despair.
She felt that, even with just having entered the second level, her leap in strength allowed her to at least exchange a few blows with him. Playing her cards right, she might be able to injure him.
Carbira shouted while being pressed onto the ground just from the passive aura. "Y-Yasenia! Please stop!"
Yasenia's face didn't calm down as she directed her angry face toward Carbira, scaring her. "Carbira, you've seen what kind of leader he is. I'll give you a chance now to come to work for me and escape what's about to happen to this power. He is not someone who has anything of value. Being greedy is natural, but his greediness is too deep."
Carbira shook her head and answered while trembling. "I-I can't. Please, Yasenia, reconsider, he didn't have bad-"
"Stop. His intentions are more than clear."
Yasenia sent a message directly to Carbira's head. 'I've seen this kind of people many times. They would do anything for greed. Do you want proof that he is not of value just because he raised you?'
Yasenia looked at the man, and a light flashed in her eyes. 'This is your last personality test. Depending on the answer…'
Yasenia stored her sword again and asked without reeling back her monstrous aura. "I'll give you one chance to redeem yourself. You give me Carbira, and I'll leave the seventy Heaven-ranked items behind for you to do as you please. Moreover, I will leave without making trouble."
The man clenched his sword hand, considering whether to make a sneak attack. However, he finally decided not to. "I don't believe you. That's too bad of a deal for you."
Those words were like a stab in Carbira's heart. The pain was so sharp that she cringed physically.
Yasenia squinted. "I really value her. Are you sure you don't want to take the offer?"
The man relaxed his stance, but Yasenia saw his eyes move toward Carbira for a split second.
Yasenia's every muscle tensed as her cultivation coated her body, creating her white [Celestial Dress]. 'Oh, no, you don't.'
The man rushed toward Carbira, intending to use her as a hostage. His Epoch Body Realm cultivation allowed his body to move at extreme speeds.
Yasenia also shot toward him like an arrow released from a bow.
CLANG!
Before he arrived and grabbed her, he had to turn around as the giant [Draconic Heart] descended, wanting to split his head in half.
However, he blocked the attack.
Yasenia followed the attack with a kick toward his gut, to which he answered with a knee block.
The shockwave from the collision hadn't even spread far when Yasenia's tail latched around his only remaining support and pulled hard.
His balance crumbled, and the strong muscles in Yasenia's tail threw him across the room.
The speed was not enough for him to lose control, so he stabilized his form and stopped himself before colliding with the luxurious room's wall.
Yasenia's pupils were thinned to lines as she stood protectively before Carbira, her elegant white dress fluttering with the pressure generated by her aura accompanied by her long raven hair.
Carbira's vertical eyes locked onto that back for a few seconds, and she didn't know what to do.
Yasenia spoke. "See? I told you he wasn't anything good. As soon as I said that I liked you, this was his reaction."
The woman on the floor didn't answer, but through her spiritual sense, the dragoness could see tears dripping from the base of her protruding pearly black eyes.
The man laughed disdainfully. "So you aren't that strong! That aura you are giving… about a high-level Ethereal Soul realm? I was on guard against a junior like you? Haha, Yasenia, this is the day you die."
His cultivation level burst and it fought back against her powerful presence, pushing it back enough to make him not sluggish anymore. "See? Like this. The difference between realms is much higher than you can imagine, child!"
Yasenia reeled back her cultivation aura and stopped [Celestial Dress], returning to her revealing, blue [Empyrean Cosmos Dress]. 'Cecile, go with Carbira to the storage and retrieve our items. I'll need Tatyana in a while.'
She sent an additional message to Tengliu. 'Aunty Tengliu, can you help Cecile retrieve my items and take care of little Carbira?'
Tengliu smiled. 'Sure~. Leave this to Aunty. Do you want any other items in their storage?'
Yasenia blinked. 'Take only the cultivation techniques and profession-related techniques. I have very little use for any other kind of items.'
Tengliu nodded and looked at Cecile. 'Follow Aunty Tengliu~.'
Yasenia communicated this in less than the blink of an eye.
She then looked at the man and smirked. "Since the beginning, I didn't want to fight you head-on. Do you think you are worth me fighting you? Hahaha."
The dragoness flew upward and threw a formation of collapsing stone, making the ceiling fragile enough for her to burst through.
Her presence spread around hundreds of meters like a tide, catching the attention of the retreating seniors.
Everyone looked up at the blue-dressed dragoness and spotted her breathtakingly beautiful and imposing appearance.
"Leaders that have attended the Brilliant Auction House. I have discovered something you might be interested in."
The man shot from the same hole Yasenia created and floated a distance away from her. "What are you doing, Yasenia?"
Yasenia sneered. "The card you were forced to use and insert the energy into has a formation that allows the Brilliant Auction House to decipher your auras. What is their intention? That's for all of you to discover."
The man's eyes opened wide like saucers, but he recovered quickly and countered. "Bullshit! Are you so hurt by our conversation that you have to resort to these cheap and useless tricks!? Who would believe you when you demanded my auction house not to take anything from your earnings this time!"
Pei Zhang naturally condemned. "I'm an upright merchant, and I will not allow you to escape with this unpunished!"
Then, he charged toward Yasenia with the intent to kill her before she spoke anymore.
Yasenia didn't bother blocking and looked at the leaders, knowing very well that someone was going to interrupt.
Luscia and Coraline appeared between them simultaneously. "Halt."
The man's movements froze comically mid-air as the auras of a mid-level Epoch Core and a High-level Epoch Core cultivator constricted his every movement.
Yasenia, fearing that he had something in his ring to save his life, deployed an instant formation created to block access to the spatial ring.
"Seniors, I've locked his spatial ring for five minutes. It has taken much time to deploy it, but I was able to create the formation just in time. You are welcome to interrogate him. I would not lie on something so easily disprovable."
Yasenia saw the pale face of the man and sneered. 'As I said, I'll raze your power to the ground.'
Coraline and Luscia weren't aware of this fact, but they trusted Yasenia. Hence, knowing that this was a very plausible thing, their anger toward the Brilliant Auction house was like roiling waves.
Coraline spoke as the most senior. "Is what Lady Yasenia is saying the truth, Pei Zhang?"
The man stuttered. "L-Lady Coraline, you must not get deceived by that cunning dragon!"
Coraline looked around and spoke. "I think we all want something like this to be destroyed. Let's not be stupid and agree that whatever power wants to keep this becomes the enemies of the rest."
About forty people floated upward, all within the middle level of the Epoch Core body realm or above.
The passive pressure that came from everyone here made it a bit difficult for Yasenia to breathe even with all her auras on full throttle as they were.
One man with draconic features asked Yasenia. "Junior, you know what will happen if what you said is a lie, right?"
Yasenia nodded. "Senior, this little one wants fairness for this matter. I will not resist any inspection as long as it is related to this case."
The dragon man looked at Yasenia for a few more moments and nodded. "As the fifth elder of the [Sky Scale Dragon Men Clan], I agree with what Lady Coraline is saying."
A woman with a fishtail and an otherworldly presence that could enchant even the purest of creatures spoke through her white face veil. "The [Ocean Swallowing Mermaids] also agree. I was the one using that card, and the last thing I want is for my aura to fall into the hands of someone I don't know. Here, use my card to prove it, dragon."
The card was thrown and landed in front of Yasenia.
Yasenia didn't take it and flew down to pick Tatyana, flying back up to the sky with her in her arms. "This woman is an expert formation master. She will now demonstrate it."
Tatyana acted as if she wasn't able to fly on her own and grabbed the jade card. Then, she tapped it and began working on it.
Her speed could be much higher, but she had limited herself to a skill level near Angel's. Hence, she had to use ten minutes.
After a while, a bubble drifted from the formation with an ocean blue and green colored energy strand in it.
Yasenia felt every spiritual sense in the area focused on that strand.
Then, the [Ocean Swallowing Mermaid] senior's aura burst from her, pushing Yasenia down onto the building from midair.
"You filthy creature dared to steal my aura?"
All the hairs on Yasenia's body stood up as the presence of that woman was too big. Unlike Tengliu's aura, which had no killing intent behind it, this time, this senior was furious.
The feeling was like being at the bottom of a profound ocean and being squeezed all around.
Tatyana muttered something, and the pressure around her disappeared. 'Don't worry, little treasure~. Mommy will protect you~.'
Yasenia wanted to smooch the beautiful woman between her arms, but now it wasn't the time nor place.
Yasenia looked toward the street, and she frowned. A few mortals and low-level cultivators were on the road, literally bursting into a gory explosion because of the pressure. 'S-She really doesn't care.'
A few seniors protected the town quickly, keeping her aura at bay.
The woman with the blue fishtail appeared before Pei Zhang and grabbed him by the face. Her dainty hand looked beautiful, but the pressure was apparent as an eye popped between her fingers.
"Tell me something before I kill you and erase the Brilliant Auction House from this continent. Did that dragon keep it a secret until now, or did she know it before now?"
Only now, Yasenia understood why she felt her aura so strongly. It was also aimed toward her!
The man gurgled an answer. "K-Knew, she knew!"
Yasenia saw the veiled woman turn and look at her, and she spoke calmly. "Senior, I only deciphered it before my conversation with him."
The woman was silent for a few seconds. "Who do I believe, dragon? A man that's about to die? Or someone like you?"
Yasenia smiled. "Senior, he is a man that's about to die because of me. The desire for revenge is clear."
The woman asked. "Then, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "I went to converse with him because of this. Who knew if I was the only one that didn't know? Maybe all of the seniors here had a deal with him."
The woman wasn't stupid. "Then, why did you speak aloud back then to catch our attention? I doubt he told you that he collected them for malicious intent. He is stupid, but he isn't completely retarded. I've spoken to him a few times."
Yasenia smiled. "Senior, it's quite easy. I had another of you with me, confirming my suspicions."
Tengliu appeared beside Yasenia with Cecile, Ghana, and Carbira. "And here I am! The most beautiful woman~. It has become quite a fun situation."
The mermaid trailed her words and clicked her tongue. "Tengliu… Tsk. She is with you?"
Tengliu smiled. "That's right. This cute and beautiful junior is under my wing~. All of what she said is mostly the truth."
"Mostly?"
"Well, I'm not with her only to confirm this." Tengliu hugged Yasenia and kissed her cheek. "I was with her because I've become quite fond of her~."
Yasenia's face fell, and she pushed her away. "Senior Tengliu, please keep your jokes for another time."
Tengliu snorted. "You are not fun."
The mermaid nodded. "Well, whatever." She threw the man with one hand toward the center of the Auction house.
He was like a meteor, as a giant explosion occurred.
Then, she waved her hand, and a tsunami engulfed the entire auction house.
The auction house area was enormous, but the water engulfed everything quickly and brutally.
With another wave, the water froze, encasing everyone and everything that was in there in ice.
"I'll take this ice cube and will send back to your powers those who are not part of the Brilliant Auction House. The rest will die. Also, I will share the strongest items with all of your powers equally."
Then, the woman floated the gigantic chunk of ice the size of a small mountain and flew away while carrying it, speeding into the distance.
Cecile muttered. "Wow."
Something Yasenia ultimately agreed with.
