“Descendant of a Martial God?”

The audience in the auction house was immediately taken aback.

It had been over five hundred years since the last Martial God passed away, and his descendants had been completely wiped out from the continent over a hundred years ago.

Everyone was shocked and confused about the sudden claim of a Martial God’s descendant.

Logically, such a precious auction item should have been announced in advance. Otherwise, those who could afford it might not show up, which would prevent it from fetching a high price.

To clear up people’s doubts, Ren Qingzhu explained promptly.

Firstly, they had only recently captured this descendant of the Martial God, so they had not disclosed this information beforehand.

Furthermore, they did not plan to sell off the Martial God’s descendant completely but only a portion of her blood, along with the rights to her offspring.

It was acceptable to sell the blood, as many martial artists conduct research in this area, with the most notable result being the sealing of the essence blood of the wilderness beast.

According to ancient legends, before the Essence Blood Sealing Skill was invented, martial artists had to use live beasts for advancement. The cultivation difficulty was much higher than it is now.

The rights to the offspring were somewhat peculiar, but if someone could win the auction, they could specify a person to have a child with the descendant of the Martial God. The offspring would then belong to the auction winner.

“Yuan Tong Business Firm is too despicable! How can they auction this?” Yin Wen exclaimed indignantly.

She had heard that the descendant of the Martial God was a young woman. Such ruthless and insulting act naturally resonated with her.

“How could the descendant of a Martial God stoop so low?” Yang Jiang queried, perplexed.

Although martial talent is not wholly hereditary, it does pass down to some extent.

Presumably, descendants of a Martial God should not be weak. Even if they hadn’t established their own country, they shouldn’t have been enslaved.

“Because there are always too many greedy people in this world,” Xu Mu replied indifferently.

When a martial artist reaches the realm of a Martial God, the nature of his life changes, and the talent of his offspring will greatly increase.

However, martial artists and cultivators are different. Although they value talent, they do not exaggerate its importance.

Even a dancer with excellent talent would not reach a high level without hard practice.

In this world, there is no permanent nation, and naturally, no permanent clan. Those who remain in high status for a long time would eventually fall.

The very talent that people once helped them with gradually becomes the root cause of their misfortune.

Prominent martial artists who want to become Martial Gods typically target Martial God families, causing them significant harm.

After all, a clan, no matter how talented, can’t compete against the whole world.

If the clan leader were clever, he would choose to change the clan name and go into seclusion when their power declines. But human greed often makes it hard for them to give up the eminent status they once had.

Failing to do so, the clan would be exterminated.

Many clans, forces, and even people have perished for the same reasons. Only the Martial God family drew more attention due to their tragic circumstances.

“If you’re interested, Master, I can negotiate with Yuan Tong Business Firm later, to see if we can buy her outright,” Xiao Tian Yuan proposed.

Xu Mu shook his head.

While he was indeed interested in the Martial God’s descendant, he didn’t place much importance on her alone.

What he needed was information about the Martial Gods, as that would be the most useful for him.

Now, that information was likely held by the countries that possessed Martial Emperors.

If he weren’t planning to enter the Wilderness to hunt down some yellow-level beasts and inspect the conditions there, hoping to find some clues, he would have already left the Da Xia Nation to seek more information in those Martial Emperor countries.

He shook his head, not just because the descendant wasn’t particularly attractive to him, but also because he could tell that Yuan Tong Business Firm did not really plan to sell her.

They probably intended to use her, the descendant, as a goose that laid golden eggs.

Given Xiao Tian Yuan’s status, he might not be able to force them into a sale. After all, Yuan Tong Business Firm was more powerful than Da Xia Nation.

Of course, if Xu Mu intervened, he could definitely get his way, but he didn’t want to expose himself for such a trivial matter.

So, he rejected Xiao Tian Yuan’s suggestion outright, considering only to purchase some blood later.

However, what happened next was something he had not expected at all.

One of the distinguished patrons in the auction house demanded loudly, “The descendant of the Martial God has been missing for hundreds of years. Although we trust the reputation of Yuan Tong Business Firm, we still need some solid evidence. You cannot just take your word for it!”

The descendant of the Martial God was extraordinary. If possible, they wouldn’t mind acquiring one to improve their lineage.

But first, they must be certain of her identity.

“Of course!”

Ren Qingzhu clapped her hands to signal the staff below, and soon a black-covered iron cage was brought up on stage.

As the black cloth on the cage was removed, revealing a despondent-looking girl inside, Xu Mu changed his expression for the first time.

Everyone in the room felt a chill, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees instantly.

Xu Mu’s figure then disappeared from their sight.

Bang!

Ren Qingzhu was about to provide evidence to the audience when she suddenly noticed an unknown person standing right in front of her.

Caught off guard, she was about to apprehend the intruder but soon realized that it was the young man who had come with Xiao Tian Yuan.

Why did he suddenly come on stage?

When did he come on stage?

Ren Qingzhu asked herself these two questions in her mind.

Even the always stoic Ren Qingzhu was taken by surprise.

Although she appeared to be alone on the stage, there were layers of defense around her, making it impossible for even a Martial Saint to suddenly jump on stage without her noticing.

The surrounding guards, including the hidden Martial Arts Grandmasters from Yuan Tong Business Firm, only reacted at this moment. They rushed to the stage swiftly and surrounded Xu Mu.

Their swords were drawn, and their crossbows were cocked.

What’s the most important attribute for a merchant? Reputation.

If their auction could be easily disrupted, who would trust them? Who would auction their items through them?

Moreover, under the public’s gaze, if they just ignored this, their business’s reputation would take a fatal blow.

That’s why, even knowing Xu Mu’s remarkable identity and power, they still rushed to the stage without hesitation. If Xu Mu couldn’t provide a reasonable explanation, they would definitely take action.

Yuan Tong Business Firm was not afraid of the Da Xia Nation.

“Mr. Xu, we respectfully request you to step down and not disrupt the auction proceedings,” Ren Qingzhu finally said, giving Xu Mu a way out.

Xu Mu didn’t even look at her. He moved forward, shattered the iron-as-strong cage with a single palm, and asked in an icy tone, “Who captured her?”
