“You lied to me!”

Scarface was filled with fear. The lookout fish began moving again. A white shadow got closer and closer to him. An image of a row of sharp fangs was the last thing Scarface saw before he lost consciousness.

“Ding dong.”

A crisp sound could be heard. Then, a ring fell from Scarface’s body. If the owner died, their belongings that were originally bound would be forsaken.

Blood flowed on the ground like a small stream. It was rapidly absorbed and automatically entered the fish’s body. The fish’s white scales flickered with a faint red light.

With that, the scene was no longer bloody. In fact, things looked very calm. It was as if nothing had happened. However, everyone who had witnessed the incident would probably remember it for the rest of their lives.

Who knew the high and mighty Scarface would end up like this. Even his bones were not left behind.

Everyone let out a sigh. This was the first time they had seen such a huge disparity in strength. Scarface was level seven. Yet, he did not stand a chance against Lin Mo.

It was truly shocking. Even the Blood Harvest leader and Qingyang City’s lord had dispelled their previous thoughts of wanting more chaos.

“He’s so powerful at such a young age. It makes me feel ashamed.”

“That’s right. I believe that the auction house will continue to grow under his administration. In the future, it will dominate this area.”

“The Lin family is really different. Lin Mo, if you ever need anything, just let us know. We will definitely do whatever we can for you.”

While everyone was praising him, Lin Mo calmly went to pick up Scarface’s ring. There were also ten thousand low-grade spirit stones that he had previously robbed. In addition to his life savings, it was a total of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Mo was instantly put in a good mood. He had basically become rich.

Since he no longer lacked spirit stones, there was no need for him to auction off the tier five top-grade Chaos Pill.

“I’m very sorry, everyone. Due to the unexpected incident, this auction has come to an end.”

His announcement caused an uproar.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

Some people understood Lin Mo’s decision. Although Scarface had been dealt with, the atmosphere had turned extremely awkward.

[ Ding! ]

[ Successfully triggered 50 times return! ]

[ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade Heaven and Earth Blade technique! ]

Lin Mo was surprised to hear the system’s notification in his mind. After all, he had yet to auction off the tier five top-grade Chaos Pill.

According to the system’s recognition, even though the auction had failed, Lin Mo did fulfill his duties as an auctioneer. Hence, he was able to trigger a return.

After figuring this out, Lin Mo took out the Heaven and Earth Blade technique and said, “Originally, I planned to auction this off, but I’ve changed my mind.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the Ring Blade technique that Scarface had basically mugged earlier. After that, he handed them both to Li Yunfei.

“Here, these are for you.”

Li Yunfei was completely caught off-guard. For a moment, he was unable to return to his senses.

“Lin Mo, what are you doing? These are too valuable. I can’t…”

Lin Mo reaffirmed, “Li Yunfei, you had just bought the gold thread big ring blade, so you’ll need some blade techniques. As I cultivate sword techniques, these two items are of no use to me. Please do not decline. Take them as my thank you gift.”

Li Yunfei’s lips trembled. He was speechless for a long time. After all, he could not stand the injustice and merely said a few words. Lin Mo dealt with Scarface and the other robbers all by himself. Yet, he was the one receiving such valuable gifts.

“I’m ashamed to accept them…”

“It’s fine.”

The others were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Seeing that Li Yunfei was still declining, they wished that they could accept them on his behalf. At the same time, they felt extremely regretful.

If they had stood on Lin Mo’s side and spoke up for him, perhaps he would have given them a tier-five cultivation technique as well. A fate-changing opportunity was right in front of their eyes, but they did not seize it.

A tier five cultivation technique was definitely not common. Furthermore, it would cost a lot to get one.

Quite a number of people in the auction house began hitting their chests and stomping their feet. They sighed and felt extremely regretful.

In the end, since there was no way to decline, Li Yunfei finally accepted the gifts. Obviously, he was excited. He knew the value of these techniques in his hands and was extremely grateful towards Lin Mo.

“Lin Mo, if you ever need any help, just let me know. Don’t treat me as an outsider.”

Li Yunfei’s trip this time was not a waste at all. In fact, he had made a huge profit. He could not even close his mouth due to the happiness.

Before everyone could compose themselves, Lin Mo’s dropped another bomb.

“There is no such thing as an endless feast. Thank you all for your support. I will be leaving Chuxin Village soon. Although I have not been in the village for long, I won’t forget the times I’ve had here.”

After all, Lin Mo had grown up a lot in this place. He could not help but feel emotional. Unfortunately, the resources from this place could no longer increase his strength. If he stayed here, it would be a waste of time.

Moreover, he had just found out that Scarface and his group were actually sent by the clan to kill him.

His existence was a stain of shame to the clan. Hence, there were some people who wished to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, there was nothing he could do with this piece of information. Lin Mo did not have any evidence. Even if he did, it was useless. They definitely had a high status in the clan if they dared to hire assassins to kill him.
