<h4>Chapter 451: Land Deed</h4>


    Demon Empress Ganda was a bit hesitant. She knew that the Necromancer Emperor was here to cause trouble, but she didn''t want to offend the old demon. However, it seemed like the guy was hell-bent on making things difficult for her.


    If she lowered herself in this situation, everyone would feel that she was afraid of the Necromancer Emperor. And if she goes against the old demon, he might strike out of fury.


    While she was in a dilemma, a soft voice suddenly echoed within the auction house.


    "The Heavenly Sword Tower is interested in this chimera skull. We bid two hundred and sixty million Blood Stones."


    Lu Sn and Can Ye were both surprised by the sudden turn of events. Hestia, who usually had a smiling expression now had a malevolent look on her face. They also sensed that her aura Had suddenly be unstable.


    Can Ye nced helplessly at his Senior Sister, but thetter only shook her head without saying anything.


    Hm?


    The Necromancer Emperor frowned upon hearing that voice. He somehow felt apprehensive of the auraing from the VIP room of the Heavenly Sword Tower. He wondered who this woman was...


    ''These humans from the Heavenly Sword Tower is too much!'' The Necromancer Emperor gritted his teeth, but he held back his anger. He wanted to see their boss before he would make a move. He might be old, but he hasn''t lost his shrewd mind...


    After seeing that the Necromancer Emperor had be silent, Demon Empress Ganda heaved a sigh of relief.


    Lou Baiqing also took this opportunity to end the deal. "Two hundred million and sixty million going once!"


    "... going twice!"


    "Congrattions to the Heavenly Sword Tower for getting the chimera skull for two hundred and sixty million Blood Stones!" Lou Baiqing said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.


    Hestia soon regained rity. She then shed an apologetic look towards Lu Sn and Can Ye. "Sorry, do we still have enough resources for thend?"


    Lu Sn nodded her head lightly. "It''s fine. We should have enough for thend, but are you alright Sister Hestia?" She asked while looking at Hestia with a probing look. She wondered what made Hestia react like that.


    Hestia smiled at her and replied. "Of course. I just can''t stand the ugly voice of that old demon."


    Lu Sn and Can Ye were both speechless at her reply, but they decided to not press the matter. They could just ask herter after the auction is done.


    The auction continued and things progressed smoothly. The Necromancer Emperor also became silent after that short exchange of words.


    "For thest item of today''s auction, we present to you thend deed for the territory of Poison Valley. As some of you might know, the Poison Valley joined the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family in their rebellion. However, their Valley Master and most of their Elders died in that war, leaving the Poison Valley in a mess. Now, this big piece ofnd will be auctioned for four hundred million Blood Stones and each increment must be at least ten million Blood Stones!" Lou Baiqing said with a wide grin on his face. Thisnd deed was like a hot potato in their hands, so the Demon Empress decided to auction it.


    Everyone was taken aback when they heard Lou Baiqing. The territory of Poison Valley was not just big, it was also rich in natural resources. However, they knew that only those in the VIP rooms would have the capital to fight for thisnd.


    "I bid four hundred and ten million Blood Stones!"


    "Four hundred and twenty million Blood Stones!"


    "Four hundred and fifty million Blood Stones!"


    To everyone''s surprise, the Necromancer Emperor was strangely silent throughout the whole bidding for thend deed. In the end, the Heavenly Sword Tower bought thend deed for seven hundred million Blood Stones! The guests could shake their heads helplessly when the deal was concluded.


    The auction came to a close and the guests started leaving one by one. Only those who bought items remained.


    "Lord Lou, can we use True Crystals as a substitute? We didn''t bring enough Blood Stones with us." Lu Sn asked with a smile. She was happy that no problem urred during the auction.


    Lou Baiqing''s eyes lit up upon hearing her words. Blood Stones were abundant in the Crimson Fiend Continent, but True Crystals weren''t so easy to find here. Although their value was mostly the same, True Crystals were a bit more difficult to find. He wasn''t foolish enough to reject Lu Sn''s offer.


    "No problem!" Lou Baiqing answered right away. He was afraid that Lu Sn would suddenly change her mind.


    Lu Sn smiled and gave him a storage ring filled with Blood Stones and True Crystals. "Here it is. You can check it first."


    "No need. I trust you guys." Lou Baiqing epted the storage ring and kept it immediately.


    "Thanks. We will leave now, Lord Lou. Farewell." Just as Lu Sn, Hestia, and Can Ye were about to leave, Lou Baiqing suddenly said.


    "Wait! Her Majesty would like to speak with Elder Hestia."


    The three nced at each other and nodded their heads.


    "Alright. I''ll go talk with the Demon Empress. You two can wait for me here." Hestia said softly.


    Lou Baiqing then led Hestia towards a secret room inside the auction house. "Your Majesty, I brought Elder Hestia with me."


    "Bring Elder Hestia inside." A voice sounded inside the secret room.


    Lou Baiqing opened the door and let Hestia go inside before closing it again.


    Hestia looked indifferently at the Demon Empress. In truth, she still found it hard to maintain her calmness in front of a demon. After she recovered her memories from her past life, Hestia began to despise the demons even more!


    "Is there anything you need from me?" Hestia asked with a cold look.


    The Demon Empress was confused by Hestia''s change in attitude. Did she do something that offended her?
