Chapter 826: 826 Ye Wanlan, King of Atlantis [2 more updates]
The true identity of the High Priest, let alone the Beirut King, even the first king of Cangyuan Country wasn’t clear about it.
Every king only knew that the High Priest was dedicated to Cangyuan Country, and only with him, Cangyuan Country had the strength to resist and never be annexed by Chongming Country.
Beirut also heard from his ancestors that long ago, when Atlantis only had one Chongming Country, the High Priest was already there.
His first prophecy was that Chongming would split into Cangyuan Country and Chongming Country overnight, thus dividing Atlantis in two.
At that time, Chongming was a land of peace and prosperity, in an era of flourishing.
At first, no one took this prophecy seriously, just considering it a joke.
However, disaster struck.
The rebels claimed that only by believing in the Supreme Wisdom could Atlantis be led into a higher age of civilization.
A brutal war ensued, with the rebels establishing Chongming Country by marking the border along Atlantis’ longest river—the Mingcang River.
What seemed impossible turned into reality, and no one dared to distrust the High Priest anymore.
The High Priest’s second prophecy was that many years later, Atlantis would be unified again, but it would not be under the Fran Ders Royal Family of Cangyuan Country, nor the Supreme Wisdom of Chongming Country.
Yet, the High Priest did not provide a definite date, and Beirut was not overly anxious because of this.
But he was killed by his descendants, the throne was usurped, and the High Priest then gave out a fixed date.
All previous prophecies of the High Priest had already been fulfilled, regardless of how impossible they seemed at the time they were issued.
How could the Beirut King not panic?
Although the descendant mentioned in the High Priest’s prophecy had already been killed, the High Priest did not make any changes to his words.
Now, the Cangming Seal has surfaced, further increasing the anxiety in the Beirut King’s heart.
"Understood!" The Palace Guard Captain bowed, "No matter what, the Cangming Seal will belong only to Your Majesty."
The Beirut King’s gaze grew colder and more sinister: "Hmm, go."
On the auction stage, the auctioneer’s expression also grew tense. He nervously began, "According to the appraiser, this is the Cangming Seal, symbolizing the king of Atlantis, but its specific function is still unknown."
The phrase "symbolizing the king of Atlantis" completely ignited the guests’ nerves.
"Because this item is so precious, we don’t know how to price it," the auctioneer took a deep breath before continuing, "so this item has no starting price. Please start bidding directly."
Before the words even fell, someone impatiently placed a bid: "One Billion!"
"One Billion? Where’s this pauper from?" A disdainful voice echoed from an upstairs box, "Five Billion!"
"Five and a Half Billion!"
"Six Billion!"
In just a matter of seconds, more than a dozen bidders had emerged, and the auction price had already skyrocketed beyond ten billion.
Only then did the bidding speed finally slow down.
"Fifteen Billion!" Box 16 called out an astonishing high price, "Let’s see who dares to compete with me!"
The Cangming Seal tempted nearly everyone, but they all knew that they neither had the ability to win the Cangming Seal nor the power to keep it.
Today, whoever wins the Cangming Seal won’t be able to take it away safely.
"Find out." The Beirut King commanded coldly, "Which dog in Box 16 dares!"
Only a few in Cangyuan Country could bring out fifteen billion, and it was quite easy to investigate.
The Vice Guard Captain stepped forward: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Beirut closed his eyes, quietly waiting for his plan to unfold.
"Fifteen Billion once!" The auctioneer’s hammering hand trembled, "Fifteen Billion twice! Fifteen Billion... three times! Sold to the esteemed guest in Box 16!"
Inside Box 16 was a young man, modestly dressed, with ordinary features impossible to single out in a crowd.
Next to him, a guard hesitantly spoke, "Prince Ban Feng, buying this for fifteen billion to bring back..."
"What do you know? This is the Cangming Seal!" Ban Feng cast him a cold look, "With the Cangming Seal, I can become the king of Atlantis, and my grandfather will be proud of me."
The guard said no more.
The situation in Chongming was vastly different from Cangyuan Country. Although there was a king as the ruler, everyone knew that the true master was the Supreme Wisdom.
Power mandated by the gods, only the Supreme Wisdom held absolute authority.
Anything that happened in Chongming Country was known completely by the Supreme Wisdom.
Even if Ban Feng managed to take the Cangming Seal and return to Chongming Country, could he safely get back to the Royal City?
Even though Ban Feng was the most favored grandson of the King of Chongming Country, the royal family could never surpass the Supreme Wisdom.
"Hmph, that brother of mine has been in a vegetative state since birth." Ban Feng gave a derisive laugh, "Father and Mother can only pin their hopes on me; I won’t disappoint them."
His eyes shone with excitement and intense greed.
"Once again, thank you all for your support at this auction!" The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his brow, "All the items at this auction have been successfully sold. I declare the auction to be—"
"Boom!"
The word "over" hadn’t even exited his mouth when a roar exploded on the auction stage.
In an instant, thick smoke enveloped the entire auction hall, reducing visibility to less than half a meter.
Screams erupted, and the hall’s guests descended into chaos.
"What’s happening?"
"Oh my God, where’s security?"
"Who dares to cause trouble with the Kellan Family, do they really not want to stay in Cangyuan Country?"
The buzz of noise was overwhelming, but the smoke showed no signs of dispersing; instead, it grew thicker.
"Someone’s making a move." Ye Wanlan’s voice turned somber, "Teacher, you and Tingting leave first, I’ll go check it out."
The Cangming Seal was too prized, and she anticipated activity. She just didn’t expect it so quickly.
"No way!" Baili Changkong flatly refused, "You’re not powerful enough yet. Why go down? Let’s leave together."
"My friend is on the auction stage." Ye Wanlan continued moving without stopping, "I have to confirm her safety."
Baili Changkong hastily said, "What friend? Disciple, wait for us!"
Ye Wanlan leaped down from the second floor, perceiving through the dense smoke without hindrance to her vision.
Her gaze swept around, quickly identifying Silvia’s figure.
On the stage, Silvia lay on the ground, clearly caught in the explosion that occurred next to her, suffering a massive impact.
Although Silvia did not focus on cultivation, she did pay attention to her fitness. However, the explosion was too sudden, leaving her no time to react.
At that moment, her body was weak. Hearing the surrounding clamor, she couldn’t muster the strength to stand.
Silvia was in a daze; she strained, reaching out, but touched nothing. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Just as her final reserves of strength were about to deplete—
"Crack!"
Her wrist was grasped by a hand, one with enough strength to pull her up directly.
At the same time, a voice sounded above her head: "Silvia, get up, you can’t fall here."
Who?
Silvia’s mind was foggy. Her sight also blocked by the white smoke, she could barely discern it was a girl.
"Go." Ye Wanlan slipped a pill into Silvia’s mouth, "Ignore everything else, let’s first leave here."
Ye Wanlan tapped her toes, carrying Silvia up and back onto the second floor.
Silvia remembered something important: "Cang, Cangming..."
"They’re after the Cangming Seal," Ye Wanlan replied, "But I need to ensure your safety first."
She placed Silvia on her back, preparing to reunite with Yan Tingfeng and Baili Changkong.
It was at this moment that a sound of "shuh" swiftly cut through the air.
Ye Wanlan swiftly raised her hand to catch it.
Opening her hand, her pupils constricted tightly.
Cang, Ming, Seal!
