Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

He vaguely sensed that he no longer regarded Li Lan as a junior.

Such insight and wisdom are absolutely enough to make him an equal!

Immediately, Li Lan selected a group of demonic bones from among the many, about two-thirds of them.

Xuan Yuexuan took the demon bones and headed into the city.

Soon after.

A message suddenly came out:

"The Xuan Yue Clan is about to auction off the demon bone obtained from the Demon Slaying Competition!"

"Any family can participate!"

The news immediately caused a stir in Dongye Prefecture, drawing everyone's attention.

"Has the Xuan Yue clan gone mad? They actually put such a precious item up for auction. Are they really that poor?"

"Hehe, the Xuan Yue Clan has been declining in recent years. Now that four geniuses have emerged, it's normal to exchange them for some resources to nurture them."

"It's not as simple as you say. The Xuan Yue Clan's move is a stroke of great wisdom! If they had kept it all for themselves, it would have brought great disaster. However, by putting it up for auction, other forces also have the opportunity to participate in the Ancient Demon Mountain. The Xuan Yue Clan can obtain resources in two ways: first, they can exchange them for resources, and second, they can avoid the disaster of public outrage..."

Some people sighed, "Although the Xuan Yue clan is gradually declining, they still have masters to guide them!"

Meanwhile, the three major families...

"That old fox Xuan Yuexuanye is truly cunning!"

Upon hearing the news, Shooting Star Clan member Shooting Star Zhuliu couldn't help but sneer, saying, "It's good that he knows what's good for him. Otherwise, this time, even if it meant being punished by the royal court, we would have wiped them out!"

He had already planned to join forces with the other two clans to ambush the Xuan Yue clan at the Ancient Demon Mountain and then wipe them out.

However, this news disrupted his plans.

"Go to the auction immediately and get the Demon Bone back, no matter the cost!"

He waved his hand and said, "We absolutely cannot let the other two races seize the initiative."

……

"Ancestor, the Xuan Yue Clan's move is brilliant. Now, our three great families are about to be caught in a competition again..."

Bai Shanhe sighed softly and looked at the ancestor Bai Tianmo.

Bai Tianmo snorted and said, "That old fox is getting more and more cunning..."

"I think it would be better to join forces with the other two clans to divide up the share of demonic bones that flowed out of the Xuan Yue clan and drive down the price!"

Bai Shanhe was somewhat unwilling.

The Xuan Yue clan was clearly treating the three major clans like dogs, throwing out a handful of food and expecting them to fight over it endlessly. This feeling... made him feel insulted.

"Join them?!"

But Bai Tianmo coldly said, "Don't forget, during the Demon Slaying Competition, the Xuan Yue Clan wanted to fight our clan to the death. What did those two clans do?"

"They would love for us to perish along with the Xuan Yue clan."

The fact that the two major clans refused to come to their aid and stood by and watched was enough to make the Bai family lose trust in them.

"Besides, do you think they'll agree if you join forces with them? Everyone has selfish motives when faced with absolute interests."

"Moreover, this auction isn't just for us; the Xuan Yue clan has also sent invitations to several immortal families in nearby states. If you lower your price, don't let others snag a bargain!"

"Prepare the resources!"

Bai Shanhe remained silent and could only nod.

……

"The opportunities within the Ancient Demon Mountain, if obtained, could potentially elevate our clan to the ranks of immortal royal families. We absolutely cannot afford to be negligent. These demon bones are ours to possess—"

Yelan Han, from the Yelan clan, has already given the order.

……

Three days later.

The city's largest auction house, and all the major and minor powers in the city have arrived.

One by one, the demon bones were brought out, and the arena immediately erupted in a heated battle. The three major families were practically fighting tooth and nail to seize the demon bones.

They've fetched astronomical prices at auction one after another!

In the end, all three families managed to acquire some items, but when they left the auction hall, the members of the three families all looked at each other with hostility.

Under such naked competition, the previously barely maintained harmony was completely torn apart.

"Three patriarchs, our master invites you in—"

However, at that moment, a person suddenly arrived and spoke to the heads of the three major families.
