Chapter 681: Chapter 680: The Quasi-Emperor is Strong?
Time silently passed during the gathering of the chosen ones.
The auction was about to begin, and the number of people in Celestial Fairy City kept increasing.
Moreover, a considerable number of powerful figures had arrived, with those in the Venerable Realm and the Saint Realm everywhere to be seen.
Some sect masters of major forces also came in person.
The clan leaders of ancient races were no exception.
Clearly, they were all attracted by this auction.
Actually, if it were before, the auction would not be this bustling.
It used to be a long time before some sect masters and ancient race clan leaders would participate.
However, this time several had appeared.
In an elegant loft building,
the Yuanchu Sect Master, dressed in a scholar’s robe, said to the Yun Family head beside him, "Old Yun, we’ve known each other for several thousand years now, haven’t we? Can you tell me which force this Mister Chen is from?"
"What makes you hold him in such high regard?"
When he heard that the Origin Beginning Holy Son had been thoroughly defeated, although he was somewhat surprised, he did not care much as the younger generation was just scuffling about.
But when he heard that the Yun Family head was extremely respectful towards Liu Zheng, even breaking the rules of Celestial Fairy City, he was greatly astonished.
It is known that, a few hundred years ago, when a clan leader of an ancient race wanted to kill someone in Celestial Fairy City, the Yun Family head flew into a rage and killed him with a divine emperor weapon.
Since then, no one has dared to cause trouble in Celestial Fairy City.
Even the sect masters of some top forces are no different.
They all know that despite the Yun Family head normally appearing very modest and easy to talk to, if you touch the rules of Celestial Fairy City, he will turn his back on you without a second thought.
No matter if you’re a top force’s sect master or an ancient race’s clan leader, even a Quasi-Emperor can be taken down by him.
So he came to Celestial Fairy City straight away, wanting to find out about Liu Zheng’s background.
"We’ve known each other for thousands of years and you’re still asking me? Don’t you know my character? There’s only one reason that could make me act this way, this person has a terrifying background, even possessing the power to annihilate Celestial Fairy City, not someone we can afford to offend," said the Yun Family head helplessly.
You already know, so why come to ask me?
If I could tell you, I would have told you already.
And since the other party won’t even mention it themselves, what if I let it slip and they come after me?
Just thinking about Xiang Batian’s Tyrant Body sent chills down his spine.
If that person took action, Celestial Fairy City wouldn’t stand a chance, even without the aid of others from the Demon God Temple.
"You don’t need to say too much, and don’t you trust me? I won’t tell anyone, so this won’t involve you," said the Yuanchu Sect Master.
"Besides, I can guess a bit; I just need you to confirm it," he said reluctantly.
Hearing this, the Yun Family head still had no expression on his face, as if he had heard nothing at all.
You’re asking for trouble, he has no intention of offending that organization.
Especially that Mister Chen, whose methods are exceedingly ruthless. If he displeases him, the whole Celestial Fairy City could be destroyed.
"Forbidden land?" the Yuanchu Sect Master asked softly.
"You should stop asking; even if you do, I won’t say a word," the Yun Family head shook his head and stated.
Although he did not say it, the Yuanchu Sect master had understood.
"So it’s them," the Yuanchu Sect Master said with a sigh.
He had already had a guess in his mind, there were not many forces that the Yun Family would dread.
Perhaps the Fire Phoenix or Dragon Clan among the ancient races could be accounted for.
But they were not the kind that would evoke such a dread.
That left only one possibility, the Forbidden Land and the Demon God Temple.
But the people from the Forbidden Land had been unseen by many for a long time, leaving only one possibility.
It had to be the Demon God Temple!
It was only shortly before that the Demon God Temple, which had managed to make the entire Red Moon Wolf Clan bow its head, had carried out a massacre against them, causing even the Family Head of the Yun Family to be so wary.
This made sense.
"But I heard that this time the Zhang Family is preparing to send a Quasi-Emperor over, aiming for Liu Zheng’s life?"
The death of Zhang Tingyu indeed caused quite a sensation.
No one knows how furious the Zhang Family was; to avenge their loss, they even dispatched a Quasi-Emperor-level powerhouse.
This was their trump card, indicating how enraged the Zhang Family must have been.
"Haha, just them?"
"Coming here is merely courting death."
The Family Head of the Yun Family sneered disdainfully; with the Greatly Accomplished Tyrant Body at his disposal, even if several more Quasi-Emperors came, it would be of no use.
He could imagine the moment when those Quasi-Emperors saw the Greatly Accomplished Tyrant Body, they would be terrified out of their wits.
The Origin Sect Master seemed to want to ask something, but the Family Head of the Yun Family hurriedly interrupted, "Enough, don’t ask me anymore. If you keep asking, from now on, don’t come to me for anything, and we in Celestial Fairy City will no longer welcome you."
This statement indeed silenced the Origin Sect Master.
...
Dark Palace.
In the sky, streaks of light flickered as one powerhouse after another stood in the void, exerting an immense pressure.
These were the powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Zhang Family.
This time, as many as ten individuals from the Saint Realm had come.
One could imagine the determination of both parties, to wash the Dark Palace in blood, they had pulled out all their stops.
Behind the Saints, there were also many Venerable Realm powerhouses.
They made no effort to conceal their presence, crazily releasing their aura.
This caused the people of the Dark Palace below to shiver uncontrollably; some who were weaker fell down on the ground outright.
"Who are you!"
An elder of the Dark Palace was the first to fly out from his meditative retreat, eyeing the group with apprehension.
Ten Saints!
For a moment, their hearts felt chillingly cold.
"May I know what brings all of you here?"
The elder of the Dark Palace greeted the many powerhouses with a fist-and-palm salute.
There were simply too many powerful beings; ten Saints were absolutely terrifying.
"Has something happened?"
"These people have ill intentions; are they going to make a move against us?"
"How frightening, their auras are too strong, an army of so many Saints."
"Damn it, both the Hall Master and the senior elder are absent, we simply cannot contend against them now."
A group of disciples from the Dark Palace were overwhelmed with worry at this moment.
The Dark Palace only had one mid-level Saint Realm expert; the others were all of the Venerable Realm.
And the elder present was at the ninth level of the Venerable Realm, considered to be the closest to the Saint Realm.
But never mind being close to the Saint Realm, even if this elder were a Saint, he would be of no use against the formidable enemies before him.
These people who had arrived clearly bore malice; could it be that they had offended them?
"Liu Zheng from the Dark Palace killed our Heavenly Demon Sect Holy Son a while ago!"
"Liu Zheng of the Dark Palace, he murdered our Zhang Family’s Saint Heir!"
The Saints stared coldly at the crowd below, their voices a heavy declaration.
In an instant, the killing intent soared to the skies, and the pressure intensified once more.
At that moment, countless disciples from the Dark Palace lay prostrate, unable to move.
"Everyone, I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"
The color drained from the elder’s face as he spoke hastily.
A Saint from the Heavenly Demon Sect snorted, "There is no misunderstanding; today, we will wash the Dark Palace in blood."
