Chapter 2,271: Auctioning the Throne

as a little embarrassed. "Well, I'll be going then, I still have to catch a plane."An hour later, he boarded a plane to Shanghai. He landed at the Shanghai airport in the late afternoon.Before boardin...After Ye Bufan finished speaking, everyone present realized they were no longer in immediate danger. Their moods calmed considerably.

At the same time, a question arose in my mind: What does it mean to want to be emperor What did the other party mean by this What were they trying to do

Who wouldn't want to be emperor The problem is, it's not something you can become just by wanting it.

Yè Bùfán came to the palace this time with two objectives. First, he wanted to eliminate Duóbá Huóngyì, this hidden danger, so that this old fellow wouldn't go after the trouble of Tiānfēng Empire in the future.

Another thing is to get more high-grade spirit stones. We're about to head to Tianqiong Prefecture, and not only do we need them for the teleportation array, but they're useful everywhere.

But in his eyes, all these princes and grandsons were nothing but fat sheep, destined to be slaughtered mercilessly.

He continued, "To be fair, I'll put the throne of the Great Xing Empire up for auction. Whoever bids the highest amount gets to be emperor."

"Uh..."

Tuoba Hongyi's cultivation had already been abolished, and he was injured internally. At this moment, he could no longer bear the stimulation and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The throne has always been the supreme position, and countless people have tried all sorts of methods and means to ascend it.

There have been instances of sibling rivalry, father-son conflict, and even brothers fighting within the same house.

This kind of public auction, I've never seen it before, and I've never even heard of it. Only the person in front of me could do this.

Although others didn't react as dramatically, they were all equally astonished.

The throne has always been decided within the royal family. When did it ever come to an outsider making the decision

All present were staring straight ahead at the person who looked like a young man from before, utterly perplexed as to what was going to happen. Not a single person dared speak.

Ye Bufan ignored everyone's reaction and directly took on the role of auctioneer.

Let's have an on-site auction, the throne of the Great Xing Empire. The starting price is one million high-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. Now the bidding begins...

Seeing that he was truly auctioning off the throne, the people present remained silent, but their minds raced.

For these royal children, no one doesn't want to be emperor, it's a pity they don't have the chance.

This situation looks like an opportunity, but no one can be sure what's really going on, and with a throne won at auction, there are just too many variables.

Ye Bufan wasn't surprised by their reaction, he sneered and said: "Do you think I can't control this matter You'll just fight for the throne yourselves once I leave"

These royal children still bowed their heads, they truly did think so.

No matter how powerful Ye Bufan is, he is ultimately a passerby and cannot live in the palace forever.

Once he was gone, she would think of every way to seize the emperor's throne for herself.

Ye Bufan continued, "You need to get a clear understanding of the situation and dispel any wishful thinking."

I now control both the Leiyun Sect and the Shenjian Villa. As long as I disagree, none of you can ascend to this throne. Otherwise, you'll be dead by tomorrow.

"Uh..."

When he finished speaking, many thoughtful people were shaken to their core.

Especially the second prince Tuoba Wei, whose originally somewhat excited heart suddenly lifted.

In his eyes, he was the strongest among all the princes. As long as Ye Bufan left, he had a high chance of seizing the imperial throne for himself.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her head. How dare he sit in that position without anyone's consent

Tuoba Hongyi, protected by the ancestors of the imperial family and with the cultivation base of the middle stage of Dongxu, was crippled.

What about yourself Wouldn't you kill to stay in power You wouldn't be able to sit still.

Only now did he realize with chilling clarity, that no matter the circumstances, the imperial throne of the Great Xing Empire was firmly within their grasp.

Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't stay in the Daxing Empire forever. He was about to head to Tianqiong Prefecture, aiming to make a fortune in spirit stones.

He pointed a finger at Tuo Ba Hongyi beside him: "If I kill him, your entire Daxiang Empire will descend into chaos."

Even if I don't interfere, would you still end up with the most powerful empire in Tianluo Prefecture

I've kept him alive precisely because I intend to auction him alongside the throne. Whoever wins the bid will then have complete control over his fate.

"This..."

When Ye Bufan finished speaking, the expressions of all the royal children present changed.

They grew up in the royal court, so they knew all too well about the power struggles. If Tuoba Hongyi truly died, the entire Daxing Empire would fall apart.

Even if there is one victor in the end, it will be an empire that is severely depleted, utterly incapable of remaining at the pinnacle of Tianluo Prefecture.

Although Tuo Ba Hongyi was deposed, he holds extraordinary significance for the entire nation.

As long as he keeps it in his hand, he can control the emperor and make the feudal lords obey him, thus ensuring his position on the throne.

All present minds raced, calculating every possibility. Finally, they all had a thought: buying the throne from Ye Bufan might be a good option after all.

"I'm counting down from three. If no one bids again, this auction ends and I will execute Tuo Ba Hongyi."

Opportunities are not always available, I hope you can seize them well.

"Ye Bufan started counting down: 'Three… Two…’"

Before he could even utter a single word, someone beside him shouted loudly, "I offer one hundred and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

The first to step forward and bid was a young man in his twenties, the fifth prince of the Daxing Empire.

Seeing this scene, Tuo Ba Hongyi's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions, utterly indescribable in words.

The grand imperial throne of the mighty Daxiang Empire, was being auctioned off. As an accessory, the emperor himself was also up for sale.

He wasn't surprised by his son's performance. In the face of imperial power, there was no such thing as familial affection. If he were in his son's shoes, he would have done the same.

The Fifth Prince, Tuoba Tao, now had eyes that sparkled with uncontainable excitement.

He was an ambitious man, yet he failed to win the favor of Tuoba Hongyi.

In normal circumstances, he wouldn't have any relationship with anyone, let alone the emperor or even the prince.

But now his opportunity has arrived, he can see that this young man before him is absolutely capable of helping him ascend to the imperial throne.

Not only him, but many other princes also saw the situation clearly and immediately a second person stepped forward.

"I offer one million two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones…"

"I bid one million three hundred thousand..."

"I'll put in one million five hundred thousand..."

For a moment, bids flew back and forth, just like at an auction.

These princes were each incredibly excited, as if they could already see themselves ascending to the throne.

As for Tuo Batian who had just been slain, and Tuo Bai Hongyi who stood beside him with an air of dumbfoundedness, no one even glanced at them.

"I offer two million high-grade spirit stones!"

When the Second Prince Tuoba Wei announced such a price, everyone around him fell silent.

Two million is definitely not a small sum of money. Even if they are members of the royal family, ordinary people would absolutely not be able to come up with that much money.

That is to say, even Toba Wei, the most favored prince, only carried his purse full of money in his daily life.

Just as everyone assumed that the final throne would fall to the second prince, a sudden voice rang out.

"I offer five million high-grade spirit stones!"ect, he was just as afraid to get too close to Hua Ru Yu."You men are so clueless about romance."Her face was flushed with a delicate coquettishness like a flower.Feng Wuhen glanced at him: "I said, L...
