Chapter 115 - Heavenly Fortune Auction (2/2)

”I see…” Yan Zaizen couldn't help but think about the value of this corpse. He had no idea what he wished to do with it. However, it was being preserved within the spatial talisman, so he had time. For now, he'll leave it until he finds a use. He wasn't a sentimental individual who would return the corpse back to the Li Clan.

From his understanding, the Li Clan was all but destroyed. What use would that do?

-----

Tomorrow arrived like the flickering of a light switch. With it, the city was filled with an uproar of commotion, rumors, and excitement. Many were dispensing of their irrelevant materials in hopes of obtaining something they needed during the Heavenly Fortune Auction. There was a selling madness during this time, and many were going crazy over the eradication of the Li Clan.

There was news still circulating that within the inner wall of the capital, all members of the Li Clan were being culled like degenerates in the street. There was even a bounty on each Li Clan member by name. Their detailed information like physical appearances and cultivation characteristics were revealed with frightening accuracy.

All could see the extreme preparation taken place for this event. Despite this happening in the capital, no one from the Imperial Family responded nor did anyone from Sky Night Royal City. Everyone could deduce from this factor that those conducting this operation were given full consent from the grand-tier and higher forces of Presba.

This was a frightening event, and many couldn't help but question what the Li Clan did to suffer such thorough destruction. However, the Heavenly Fortune Auction was such a grand event that many put this thought to the back of their minds, focusing on obtaining something useful for their own strength.

”Presba is far crueler than Grux.” Bai Lufeng commented, standing a step behind Yan Zaizen with disdain in his eyes. Grux may be a slave country, but at least it treated its people with safety and care. If a clan was annihilated, they would be forced into slavery with the chance to regain their freedom with arduous effort. However, Presba directly annihilated everyone from the elder to the dogs, and the citizens didn't particularly care about the fall of a grand-tier power that stood for thousands of years.

Even the Imperial Family was indifferent.

”Every country has their own tradition and mindset, this is simply normal for them. From what I know, unlike Grux, these people are subjected to strict competition and constant war, not only against themselves but against disaster and divine beasts. They've become accustomed to loss and seek personal strength to prevent more” Tao commented his observation, and he was correct.

In truth, despite Grux having an extraordinary population, the birth rate and annual death percentage were far less than Presba. They possess far too little danger outside of dying from overexertion, while Presba had to combat beast and humankind alike, and the resources they possessed was unlike Grux, they were vastly limited due to sharing with the beasts.

If Grux could be considered a slave country, then Presba was a country of fierce competition. This was the very reason why everyone schemed, trying to outdo each other with intelligence and foreplanning. They were also a lot more decisive than most countries, immediately clearing out the roots of an issue before thinking about the consequences.

Xue Hanjie was willing to kill Sun Huan but unwilling to touch Yan Zaizen, and the difference wasn't perceived strength or personal threat, but lack of information. If he had known Yan Zaizen had a similar status to Sun Huan, he would've acted without care, regardless if Yan Zaizen was at the late-Qi Unification Realm or not.

”Yes.” Yan Zaizen's mind pondered the fates of himself, Shin Xuanji, and Lin Feilin. He suffered neglect and scorn for weakness, despite his status within his clan. Shin Xuanji had his entire clan wiped out due to treason. Lin Feilin's clan was eradicated by bandits who likely belonged to the Soaring Cloud Sect. Who knows what inner machinations were happening during any of these events, the countless scheming and vicious intent.

They arrived at a grand building that stood one hundred meters high. The black walls had a myriad of golden clouds etched on its surface. Each cloud emitted an aura reminiscent of looking at the heavens themselves. The doors were designed to resemble the depiction of heavens' gate, with a pearly white look and a resplendent glow. One could see that every inch of this building must've been worth a fortune to construct, let alone the various formations inscribed within, but simply the door itself likely cost more than a normal grand-tier pill.

Despite arriving last minute, Yan Zaizen and the others obtained a personal V.I.P. box due to auctioning off the grand-tier True Essence Sublimation Pill. This left him satisfied, while others struggled for a basic seat, he was ushered by a beautiful maiden to his very own luxury box. Not to mention, the position of the box was high and befitting of a superior existence.

”I've never been to an auction before!” Yan Zaizen truly was excited by all this. When he was younger, he always dreamed of having sufficient wealth to attend an auction, and while he held a beautiful woman in his arms, he would bid to high heavens and sweep all things with a single word. Unfortunately, he didn't have a beautiful woman in his arms.

”Our goal is the Heretical Lightning Skyship! With it being a pseudo sky-rank skyship with traces a lightning conceptual law, it's speed and abilities will definitely be exceptional!” Tao was excited as well, having been informed this due to their V.I.P. status. The Heretical Lightning Skyship, or any skyship, were defined by two major components: Armament-rank & Formation-tier.

With a grade at the pseudo sky-rank and rank 8 formation base, its capabilities could not be underestimated. It's likely with the conceptual law within the developing Spirit Form and formations, it could rival a weak initial-True Essence expert in terms of raw speed. This was already beyond exceptional, as they could travel dozens of li in seconds!

”Yes!” Yan Zaizen had his heart set out for this skyship, and no one was going to stop him from obtaining it.
