Chapter 558 - From Now On, Face The Consequences (1/2)

…

“That’s true. Although the first-level Godly Emperor is very strong, he’s just trash in front of a late-stage Godly Emperor.”

“But no matter what, the rise of the Xuan Yuan god clan this time is already a foregone conclusion.

“The four great god clans had declined while the Xuan Yuan god clan had risen to the skies. After the two great world wars ended, there would definitely be a new ranking in the starry skies.

“At that time, I don’t know what will happen.

“It’s very likely that the Xuan Yuan god clan will rise to the top ten in a single step. I’m afraid that even the Bluebell divine territory will have to make way for them.”

Hearing those few words, Ye Xiao suddenly had a feeling that he was surfing the internet in his previous life.

The crowd was still talking, but he did not continue listening. Instead, he prepared to use his spiritual sense to scan the area to see if there were any good auction houses or large shops nearby which would allow him to buy some Phoenix-perched Parasol Trees.

Ye Xiao felt a headache. Why was he not like those legendary protagonists? With great luck, he could easily find whatever he wanted in some small stalls. Moreover, they were all things that others did not want. He only needed to spend a little bit of money to buy them.

At that moment, a gentle and refined voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

“Looks like the Xuan Yuan god clan’s luck has been pretty good recently. Their strength has actually increased by so much in an instant.”

Ye Xiao returned to his senses and swept a glance at the other party. He was a rather refined-looking young master, slightly more manly than Ning Yuhen. However, Ning Yuhen had become very manly, he was no longer the kind of person who would be mistaken for a girl.

However, he did not reply and continued to use his mind to search the surroundings. The other party glanced at Ye Xiao and said with a smile,

“I’m sorry. I’ve always come from a place of familiarity. I was minding my own business for a moment and disturbed you. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and still did not say anything.

The other party continued to speak,

“Brother, are you looking for something? This humble one has lived in this vicinity for a long time. I don’t know the things around here like the back of my hand. At the very least, I’m relatively clear about it. If Brother doesn’t mind, you can tell me about it. Perhaps I might be able to find out about it.”

Ye Xiao said faintly,

“It’s nothing major. I won’t trouble you anymore.”

After saying that, he stood up and left.

The other party was startled. Looking at his back, he immediately shook his head.

‘This fellow is really a strange person.’

After a short moment, two people surrounded him. He immediately turned around and left.

“How is it? Have you found anything?”

“Young Master, we haven’t found anything yet. However, according to the reports from the front, it’s very likely that the other party brought along a certain… No, it’s possible that they brought along a bunch of Sacred Beasts. Furthermore, they were all Godly Emperor-level Sacred Beasts.

“Their goal was to place all of those Sacred Beasts in the rear central region of the Yanhuang great world.

“That way, those Sacred Beasts would disturb the various divine territories and pose a great threat to them. They might even cause many of the god clans to suffer heavy losses.

“In turn, it would affect the martial arts masters at the front line.

“They were worried about the rear, so they could not use their full strength to fight.

“Not only that, some people might even choose to run back. If that happened, the front line would be completely defeated.”

The man’s expression was extremely grave.

“No matter what, we must find the other party. We absolutely can not let him release these Sacred Beasts.

“Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble.

“Once the Yanhuang Great World is defeated, not a single member of the god clan will be able to escape.”

“Yes!”

…

On the other side, Ye Xiao had already arrived at the largest auction house nearby.

He wanted to try his luck here and see if there was a chance to find the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree.

The welcoming girl at the door was wearing a short skirt. Her long legs were as white as jade. All of them had been carefully selected. Their faces were like peach blossoms. No, to be precise, they were more beautiful than flowers.

It was just that the scale of some places was a little out of the norm. No one knew if it was natural or if it was manually adjusted.

Just as Ye Xiao walked up, they were ready to step forward and hold onto Ye Xiao’s arm.

Ye Xiao’s footsteps moved slightly. His mysterious footwork and at the same time, his body released spiritual energy to protect his body. He easily avoided the hands of those people.

To deal with those small characters, just a simple movement of his could make them confused.

Normally, he was not very interested in women, but there, he was purely a little mysophobic1.

A middle-aged manager in the auction house seemed to have a good eye. After seeing that scene, he immediately understood that Ye Xiao was a martial arts master. Such a martial arts master naturally did not like those people harassing him.

Therefore, he immediately trotted out and greeted Ye Xiao,

“Sir, please come in.”
