The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2131 - 2120: Minor Character? Victory Is Certain!
When the news of the auction spread across the entire Tian Xuan Realm.
In the manor temporarily housing the Xiao Yao Palace in Spirit Artifact City.
At this moment.
An elder sat at the head of the hall, below him stood a middle-aged man and a young man.
This elder was none other than Luo Qianjiang, the ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace who once tried to kill Ye Chenfeng at the old site of the Yinming Sect with a single palm. Generally, ancestors at the Divine King Realm would remain in secluded cultivation, but Ye Chenfeng’s rude words on that occasion stirred a fire in his heart. Especially after he harbored a murderous intent, Ye Chenfeng actually escaped right under his nose?
As a result, Luo Qianjiang chose not to enter seclusion and came directly to Spirit Artifact City. He wanted to personally witness Ye Chenfeng’s death at the Tian Xuan Spectacle. It seemed that apart from Xiao Yao Palace’s ancestors at the Divine King Realm, no other sect’s Divine King Realm ancestors had appeared.
The middle-aged man standing below Luo Qianjiang was Luo Youfang, the Sect Master of Xiao Yao Palace, with a strength at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
The other young man was Luo Youfang’s son, Luo Qibai.
Luo Qianjiang said, "I didn’t expect Tian Shun Auction House to stir up such a huge commotion this time. I doubt those old fellows from Demonic Flame Valley and Heavenly Sword Sect would come here. However, they will surely instruct their disciples to acquire as many Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones as possible. These Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones are also beneficial to us strong cultivators at the Divine King Realm."
Luo Youfang respectfully said, "Ancestor, there are several people in our sect who are currently stuck at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Earth God Realm. If we can obtain the Ascension Elixir, then several more Heavenly God Realm experts will emerge in our sect. After stepping into the Heavenly God Realm, these people might even have room to grow further."
Luo Qianjiang nodded, "Abundant divine soul-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures should be prepared, right? This auction is indeed strange, as they only allow divine soul-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures to bid for the Ascension Elixir and Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones."
Luo Youfang answered, "Don’t worry, Ancestor. Our Xiao Yao Palace has long-standing foundations; in our palace’s treasure vault, there’s a lot of divine soul-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures. This time, I’ve taken out all the divine soul-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the treasure vault, and have gathered quite a bit from outside as well."
Luo Qianjiang nodded in satisfaction, and then Luo Qibai spoke up, "Ancestor, Father, from what I understand, there is a boy named Ye Chenfeng from the Qingyue Sect who seems to have a close relationship with Tian Shun Auction House. They’ve been staying with Tian Shun Auction House recently."
Luo Qianjiang frowned, "You mean that boy from the old site of the Yinming Sect? What does it matter if he’s close to Tian Shun Auction House? He will surely die in this Tian Xuan Spectacle; he’s just a small player. There’s no need to pay him too much mind. We just need to watch as he dies right before our eyes."
"This time, the Ascension Elixir and Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones are things that our Xiao Yao Palace is determined to obtain!"
In Luo Qianjiang’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng was just a small player, but was Ye Chenfeng really just a small player?
...
On another side.
Within Spirit Artifact City.
In the hall of the Demonic Flame Valley residence.
Two middle-aged men sat in the foremost seats, with two young men seated below them.
Of these two middle-aged men, one with a rugged appearance was Mu Chengtong, the Sect Master of Demonic Flame Valley, with a strength at the Late Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm; the other, with a refined appearance, was Murong Jiang, the Family Head of the Murongs, with strength at the Initial Stage of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
The other two young men present were Mu Yunliang and Murong Suyu.
The Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs have always had good relations, which is why the two family heads gathered together.
Mu Yunliang said, "Father, Uncle, we encountered an interesting fellow here in Spirit Artifact City. This guy has only the Initial Stage strength at the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, and he’s from a sect in the Spirit Continent. He’s here representing his sect to participate in the Tian Xuan Spectacle."
"However, he managed to instantly kill a genius from the Zhous in the Central Continent at the Initial Stage of the First Layer of the Spirit God Realm with just his Initial Stage strength at the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm. In terms of physical strength, he crushed someone from the Jins with a body at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit God Realm."
"Most importantly, during the incident at the Artifact Refinement Pavilion, he left for a while, but when he returned, his strength had directly risen to the Peak of the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"Father and Uncle know I have a special perception ability to sense whether someone has used elixirs to boost their strength. Yet, I couldn’t sense any elixirs on him. So, he relied on his own power to break through three small levels in such a short period. What astounding talent must one possess to do that?"
Murong Suyu, with a feminine appearance, also said, "Indeed, I can’t see through that Ye Chenfeng guy."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang pondered for a moment, and then Mu Chengtong nodded, "If what you say is true, then this young fellow is quite intriguing. If he could make it through the Tian Xuan Spectacle this time, perhaps we should consider recruiting him into the Demonic Flame Valley."
Murong Jiang said, "I think the most important thing right now is tomorrow’s auction. If our Murongs and your Demonic Flame Valley join forces, our financial power will increase significantly, and the chances of acquiring the Ascension Elixir and Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones will be higher. As for that young fellow you mentioned, let’s discuss him after the auction."
Mu Yunliang continued, "Father, Uncle, there’s something else I haven’t mentioned! This auction is being held by Tian Shun Auction House, and that young fellow seems to have an unusual relationship with them. They’ve been staying inside Tian Shun Auction House; we stayed there for a few days previously too."
"After we left, we found out about the Ascension Elixir, but we felt awkward returning, as that would seem too opportunistic. I really want to befriend that guy."
Both Mu Chengtong and Murong Jiang furrowed their brows, feeling unfortunate. If Ye Chenfeng indeed has close ties with Tian Shun Auction House, perhaps something could have been arranged in advance to acquire some Ascension Elixir and Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones. It may now seem awkward for Mu Yunliang and Murong Suyu to approach Ye Chenfeng again.
After a brief moment, Mu Chengtong said, "Yunliang, try to have more interactions with that young guy, because I feel he might have a lot of hidden aspects!"
Murong Jiang added, "Suyu, you should do the same."
...
Meanwhile.
In the residence of the Heavenly Sword Sect inside Spirit Artifact City.
The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Hua Liukong, sat in a study, with the young master Hua Changsheng standing before him.
Hua Liukong’s strength was at the Middle Stage of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
Hua Liukong had already communicated about the Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones to the sect’s ancestor.
The ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave a command: Hua Liukong must secure as many Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones as possible, regardless of the cost. As a result, in these few days, the Heavenly Sword Sect not only emptied all divine soul-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures from their sect but also paid high prices to purchase quite a bit, for they were determined to get their hands on both the Ascension Elixir and the Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones.
From the beginning to end, Hua Changsheng had never taken Ye Chenfeng too seriously, so he did not mention Ye Chenfeng to his father Hua Liukong.
Hua Liukong solemnly said, "Changsheng, if we can satisfy the ancestor this time, then the ancestor agreed to grant you great opportunities. They also say they’re willing to personally guide you for ten years. With the ancestor’s guidance and the opportunities, your strength and swordsmanship will surely see vast improvements, so this auction is an opportunity for you."
Hua Changsheng asked, "Father, can’t we just directly approach Tian Shun Auction House to purchase?"
Hua Liukong shook his head, "If Tian Shun Auction House hadn’t built momentum for this auction, I believe that they wouldn’t dare refuse us if we were to ask."
"But now it’s too late. Approaching Tian Shun Auction House with our sect’s influence now would likely incite universal anger. Almost the entire Tian Xuan Realm is watching this auction. Although we are one of the three top powers in the Central Continent, we can’t withstand the anger of the entire Central Continent."
"Moreover, the Demonic Flame Valley and Xiao Yao Palace would certainly love to see us, the Heavenly Sword Sect, falter. That would give them a justified reason to team up against us. Similarly, neither Demonic Flame Valley nor Xiao Yao Palace would dare approach Tian Shun Auction House themselves."
"Let’s just follow the rules this time!"
