Chapter 767 - Each With Their Own Ulterior Motives (2/2)

Hearing that he could become a Celestial Sovereign, the City Lord’s eyes went wide, and he could not help but smile.

A Celestial Sovereign!

Just thinking about it made people extremely excited.

He had inherited the Spirit Nether City from his ancestors for more than 200,000 years.

During those 200,000 years, he had been trembling with fear, guarding the Spirit Nether City with all his might. He had never stepped out of the city.

It was not because he did not want to, but because he could not.

There were many dangers in the void. Even Sacred Sovereigns could be killed in the void.

When he had inherited the city, he had used the primordial array passed down to display the strength of a Celestial Sovereign.

As long as he was inside, he was safe.

Even if a Celestial Sovereign powerhouse came, he could do nothing to him.

In the past 200,000 years, he had wanted to leave more than once. He was almost driven mad.

However, there was nothing he could do. He had been cooped up in the city for more than 200,000 years in order to live a peaceful life!

During those 200,000 years, he used the power of Spirit Nether City to conduct various businesses. He had collected a large number of resources and used them to slowly increase his cultivation base.

In the end, his cultivation base had reached the lesser Celestial Sovereign realm. He was only one step away from becoming a Celestial Sovereign!

Furthermore, after becoming a Celestial Sovereign, not only would he be able to leave Spirit Nether City and wander around the void, but he would also have a place in the Void Alliance and have a say.

The Void Alliance was an extremely large organization in the void. It had the standard of several cities joining forces. If he could gain a seat in it, it would be many times better for his future development.

Most importantly, with his cultivation level as a Celestial Sovereign and the backing of the Void Alliance, he would no longer have to worry about the old Celestial Sovereigns in other universes or the void.

That was extremely important to him.

He had spent tens of thousands of years preparing for that final step.

Everything was waiting for tomorrow. Therefore, he had to succeed no matter what.

“There are some rare treasures in the auction, which might attract the envy of others. When the time comes, you have to pay attention to maintaining order. Don’t let anyone disrupt my auction.”

“Yes! However, City Lord, among the items we are auctioning, there is a group of slaves who escaped from the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi. I wonder if the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi will take the opportunity to cause trouble for us.

“After all, that fellow is vicious and ruthless. He is like a poisonous snake, and everyone in the void knows about him.”

The City Lord narrowed his eyes.

“If he dares to come, I’ll make sure he can’t go back. This time, I’m here to advance to the Celestial Sovereign realm. I’ve been waiting for this moment for far too long. No one can stop me. Whoever dares to stop me, I’ll kill them.”

“Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure rushed in.

“Report! City Lord, the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi has sent a team of saints to participate in tomorrow’s auction.”

“What? They’ve sent people here too? City Lord, don’t let them in. If they see those slaves, I’m afraid they’ll cause a big mess.”

However, the City Lord’s eyes rolled a little before he smiled.

“No worries, let them in.”

“City Lord! What are you… ?”

“Since they’ve sent a team of Sacred Sovereigns here instead of the Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi himself, it means that they’re not here to cause trouble.

“Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent people over today. Instead, they would have waited for the auction tomorrow and the Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi would come over to snatch it.

“Since they are here now, it means that they want to participate in the auction.

“Since they are guests, how can they be swept out of the door?

“Anyway, as long as they can afford the price, I will welcome them.

“If they want to cause trouble, then we have to see if they have the strength to do so!”

“Yes! City Lord is wise!”

…

On Ye Xiao’s side, he was currently resting with his eyes closed, meditating and cultivating. All of a sudden, he could not help but open his eyes.

That was because he felt that something was not quite right. A few familiar auras had also checked into that inn.

‘It’s actually them. This is really interesting. I didn’t expect the City Lord of Spirit Nether City to actually dare to let them in.’

Those people were the ones that Ye Xiao had seen fighting with the Void Alliance’s Sacred Sovereigns, the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi’s Sacred Sovereigns.

At that time, they had already escaped. He did not expect them to actually come over now. Moreover, they had even come to the Void Alliance’s territory. They were really bold.

Ye Xiao thought carefully for a moment and detected a trace of something fishy from within.

The other party dared to swagger in there might be because he was extremely confident in the strength of Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi behind him.

Looks like the strength of the Lord of Heaven was a little beyond his imagination.

The Void Alliance did not belong to a single faction. Rather, it was formed by several factions that had joined forces.

The fact that Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi dared to send people to Spirit Nether City, which was one of the territories of the Void Alliance, meant that he was not afraid of any force in the Void Alliance.

He was indeed a little strong.

On the other hand, the City Lord of Spirit Nether City did not let them in just because he was afraid of Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi. After all, even if he could not beat him, he could still find helpers to help him.

However, he still agreed to let them in.

If nothing unexpected happened, there were probably two reasons.

One was that he was indeed afraid of Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi, and the other was that he wanted to get some profit from the Sacred Sovereigns of the Lord of Heaven.

If it was the former, it meant that Sacred Sovereign Yin Shi was much stronger than he thought.

If it was the latter, then it meant that the City Lord was about to advance. That was why he spared no expense to rapidly take advantage of such a situation.

If that was the case, he might be able to see if there was a chance to start a war.

With that, Ye Xiao began to meditate again. However, at that time, he was not meditating on matters related to cultivation, but on how to start a Great War!

…

At the same time, in the room next door, the various Sacred Sovereigns from the Lord of Heaven Yin Shi gathered in a room with solemn expressions.

“Tomorrow is the day of the auction. No matter what, we have to bring those few Sacred Sovereigns back. They have a large number of World Creation fragments in their bodies. If they were to fall into the hands of others, it would be a huge loss to the Lord.

“He is preparing to advance to the Supreme Sovereign realm. We must not hold him back. Otherwise, our lives will be in danger!”
