Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1708: 1671: Auction
Capítulo 1708: Chapter 1671: Auction
On a devastated battlefield.
Hundreds of black-clad figures gathered in groups of threes and fives, clearly divided into two major factions.
They were from the Blissful Heaven Realm and the Life Heaven Realm camps.
Within these camps.
They further split into dozens or even tens of smaller factions.
After all…
They all originated from two realms, with multiple different forces and families.
Yet moments later.
These people formed a complete collective.
Merged into a unified whole.
No longer divided by individual factions or realms.
Remarkably united!
At this moment.
Because the supreme geniuses from both sides had already received the Emperor’s Order, entering the eighteenth level of hell to compete for the final legacy and treasures left by the Saint Emperor of Life.
These remaining ones were not the paramount geniuses of their respective realms.
However, their prowess was absolutely formidable.
At present…
The strongest person from the Blissful Heaven Realm was a Loose Cultivator.
This person was named Zheng Hongguang.
He was a Loose Cultivator, said to have received the legacy of a supreme might by accident, and through arduous cultivation, reached his current level.
His strength was comparable to the thirteenth level of the Ultimate Holy King.
The other was Liu Hao, the young master from Haohai Sect of the Life Heaven Realm.
This Haohai Sect was once a renowned sect in the Life Heaven Realm, but ten thousand years ago, a supreme genius from their sect offended a master from the Hall of Longevity, suffered suppression from it, and since then, Haohai Sect fell from grace and hasn’t regained its past glory.
Liu Hao was the son of the current sect master of Haohai Sect.
Meanwhile.
He was also hailed as the hope for Haohai Sect’s resurgence.
At the thirty-fifth level of the Ultimate Holy King.
“Young Sect Master Liu, is that person really not from your Life Heaven Realm?” Zhang Hongguang asked.
This was the question lingering among the experts from the Blissful Heaven Realm.
In their view…
With Xiao Yi just having demonstrated such fearsome strength, even the supreme Tianjiaao from Extreme Bliss Heavenly Palace, Minor Spirit Mountain, Great Thunderclap Monastery, or Hidden Spirit Temple might not possess it.
The most plausible origin is the Life Heaven Realm.
However…
Liu Hao shook his head confidently and said, “I can assure you he isn’t from our Life Heaven Realm; few people are here from the Life Heaven Realm, and I remember each one’s aura clearly. If he were among us, I wouldn’t fail to recognize him!”
Zheng Hongguang squinted and said, “If he’s neither one of ours nor one of yours, then who is he?”
“I have a theory!”
Liu Hao said solemnly.
Zheng Hongguang was taken aback, lifting his head to meet Liu Hao’s eyes.
The two seemed to come to an understanding.
Almost speaking simultaneously: “Xiao! Yi!”
“What?”
“Xiao Yi?”
“How could it be? From the little Unharmed Heaven Realm, how could there be such a mighty figure…”
No one believed it.
Zheng Hongguang and Liu Hao shot disdainful glances at them; only those who see their own world as superior would ignore talents of other worlds, reacting like this.
Whether Zheng Hongguang or Liu Hao.
Neither had a particularly prominent background in their realms.
They well-understood the mindset of the exalted children from the Holy Sect families.
Yet simultaneously…
They understood even more clearly the terrifying talent needed to possess such strength as Xiao Yi in the Unharmed Heaven Realm.
“Brother Zheng, how do you plan to handle this auction?” Liu Hao asked.
Zheng Hongguang looked at those behind him, who still whispered among themselves, convinced that person wasn’t Xiao Yi, and transmitted his thoughts: “I planned to consolidate everyone’s strengths to pressure Xiao Yi, forcing him to relinquish the Emperor’s Order. But now, I’ve changed my mind!”
Zheng Hongguang was originally just a Loose Cultivator.
Thinking that more would be more powerful, able to pressure Xiao Yi.
Yet now…
A scattered group, even if consolidated, wouldn’t form true strength.
Might as well abandon it!
“Oh?”
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows; unlike Zheng Hongguang.
Haohai Sect wanted to rise, needing not only immense power but also extensive networks.
He agreed to lead, aiming to gather allies.
Seeing Liu Hao’s hesitation, Zheng Hongguang said calmly: “Do you think, even if you help them get these Emperor’s Orders, they’ll truly be grateful?”
Liu Hao was startled.
Human hearts are the most unpredictable.
With their mentality and outlook, as Zheng Hongguang said, even if they get the Emperor’s Orders, gratitude is uncertain, but if they don’t get them, they might immediately turn on Liu Hao; even if not right away, resentment could brew.
With this realization.
Liu Hao smiled wryly, exhaling a long breath: “Forget it, I’ll accompany you to Fengdu!”
The two immediately soared and headed to Fengdu.
The remaining strong ones exchanged glances: “Where are you both going?”
“Weren’t we all set to pressure that person, forcing them to hand over the Emperor’s Order freely?”
Others chased after, faces twisted with rage and pursued for answers.
Liu Hao and Zheng Hongguang ignored them.
A moment later.
They landed outside Fengdu, where Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in the air. Sensing their arrival, Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled: “You came quite swiftly!”
Zheng Hongguang spoke directly: “Dear friend, I am Zheng Hongguang; I would offer a hundred boundary stones to purchase an Emperor’s Order.”
As he spoke.
He took out a hundred boundary stones.
A mere Loose Cultivator, to offer a hundred boundary stones was already his limit.
This he acquired by plundering many strong figures along the way.
Xiao Yi’s expression became playful: “A hundred boundary stones? You think that’s sufficient?”
Zheng Hongguang blushed, embarrassed: “That’s my entire fortune!”
As he spoke.
He openly showed his storage ring.
Xiao Yi regarded him deeply; though he admired Zheng Hongguang’s candidness, a hundred boundary stones for an Emperor’s Order seemed too cheap to him.
Seeing Xiao Yi shake his head in refusal.
Zheng Hongguang’s face fell.
At this point.
Liu Hao spoke up: “Five hundred boundary stones, plus Zheng’s hundred, totaling six hundred boundary stones for two Emperor’s Orders, how about it?”
“Brother Liu…” Zheng Hongguang looked shocked.
Liu Hao grinned at him.
Zheng Hongguang clenched his fists, secretly noting this favor in his heart.
Xiao Yi glanced into Liu Hao’s eyes, recognizing he had exerted himself.
Six hundred boundary stones.
Not bad!
Xiao Yi tossed them two Emperor’s Orders.
The two took an Emperor’s Order each, preparing to rise towards the eighteenth level of hell.
As they were leaving.
Zheng Hongguang paused, turned, and asked Xiao Yi: “Are you indeed Xiao Yi?”
Xiao Yi was taken aback, his expression playful: “What do you think?”
Woo!
Zheng Hongguang and Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Both disappeared into the sky.
Soon after.
Other black-robed figures also appeared in front of Fengdu.
Xiao Yi’s mouth slightly curled upward: “Time to start the business…”
