Even with the map, obtaining the Ice Lotus Sage''s treasures wouldn''t be easy.


    Seeing this, Met Intan shook his head and chose to withdraw immediately. Among the four major families, the Met family''s foundation was the weakest.


    "One hundred and fifty thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin provocatively looked at ze Ash. He didn''t believe for a moment that the ze family could recover so quickly after the recent events.


    ze Regret''s face showed a mix of emotions. After struggling internally for a moment, he pulled out an Void Realm Stone and handed a gold coin card to ze Ash. "This gold coin card contains about thirty thousand gold coins that I''ve saved up over these days."


    This gold coin card was what ze Regret had obtained from defeating Blue Ken. As for his own, it had long been emptied.


    Taking the gold coin card, a strange light shed in ze Ash''s eyes. He then discreetly ced the card under his robe and rubbed off the character "Blue" in the lower left corner with his thumb.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand," ze Ash said calmly.


    "Where did you get so many gold coins?" Snow Fazlin looked at ze Ash incredulously. Even the intact Snow family could only muster one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins at once. How could the disrupted ze family still have such a foundation?


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going once!"


    Cold sweat began to drip from Snow Fazlin''s forehead.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going twice!"


    His face looked even more troubled.


    "Hehe, Master Snow, it seems you need some help," someone teased.


    At this moment, a cheerful voice echoed. Snow Fazlin looked up to see a purple gold coin card appear before him.


    A purple gold coin card signifies a value of one hundred thousand gold coins!


    "Kartis kai?"


    Seeing the figure suddenly appear beside Snow Fazlin, a surge of anger began to rise in ze Regret''s eyes.


    "Ny thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin gratefully nodded to Kartis Kai and then shouted excitedly.


    "Old man, do you n on not surviving the night?" ze Ash''s eyes narrowed slightly, finally revealing a cold killing intent.


    "Master Snow, as you can see, I can''t return to the ze family. I wonder if the Snow family could offer me a ce to stay?" Kartis kai asked with a smile.


    "Of course, I''ll prepare the best room for you!" Snow Fazlin naturally recognized that Kartis Kai was also a powerful spiritual master, so he spoke with utmost respect.


    "Ny thousand, going once!"


    "Ny thousand, going twice!"


    "ze Ash, give me that ne, and this map will still be yours."


    At that moment, Kartis Kai''s voice echoed in ze Ash''s mind.


    ze Ash''s lips parted as he was about to say something when suddenly, a gold coin card, apanied by a sharp whistling sound,nded in ze Ash''s hand.


    Turning his head, ze Regret was stunned to see Sky Diana in the distance, waving her snow white hand at him with a charming smile.


    "Damn, kid, you did it!"


    After a moment of surprise, ze Peter nudged ze Regret with his elbow, grinning like an old fox.


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"


    ze Ash took the gold coins from ze Regret''s hand and directly quoted a terrifying number. Snow Fazlin looked to Kartis Kai for help, only to find thetter''s face looking as if he had eaten a dead rat.


    This time, he truly example the saying "trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the bait." Not only did he fail to get the ne, but he also couldn''t return to the ze family!


    In the future, it would be even more difficult to learn the location hidden in the ne!


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, once!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, twice!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, three times!"


    "Sold!"


    ze Ash let out a sigh of relief, as if he had fought a difficult battle. What he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.


    "What exactly does the Ice Lotus Master''s map record?"


    Ignoring the de like gazes from Snow Fazlin and Snow Amar, ze Regret chuckled lightly, with a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.


    After the auction ended, those who had sessfully bid on items began to enter the backstage area for the handover process, while the others followed the crowd out of the auction hall.


    "Old man, you really pulled it off."


    In front of the auction hall, ze Peter crossed his arms and nced at Kartis Kai, his voice tinged with anger. Clearly, Kartis Kai''s previous actions had sessfully ignited his fury.


    "Hehe, I believe that with the Snow family''s strength, they will surelye out on top in this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Seemingly ignoring ze Peter''s voice, Kartis Kai continued to converse with Snow Azrul and others as if no one else was around, asionally letting out bursts ofughter.


    Watching this scene, many strong individuals had peculiar expressions. Wasn''t Kartis Kai a member of the ze family? Why was he conversing so happily with people from the Snow family?


    "A dog of the ze family remains a dog of the ze family, no matter how well it gets along with outsiders. When it''s mealtime, it will naturallye back."


    ze Ash walked out slowly, handing a box containing the map and the me Spirit Blood Diamond to ze Regret without even ncing at Kartis Kai, then turned and headed back to the ze family.


    "ze Ash!" Kartis Kai''s face twitched, his eyes full of anger. If it weren''t for the disparity in their strength, he would have already fought him.


    "I really don''t understand what the head of the family is afraid of. It''s just a Spirit Lord. Why not just kill him and be done with it? Why go through all this trouble?" Kartis Kai thought furiously.


    "Senior, let''s go."


    Snow Fazlin nced at ze Peter, then gave ze Regret a cold stare before leading the Snow family members back to their home. Although they didn''t get the map, gaining the alliance of a Spirit Lord level expert was still a small win.
