The shining essence, like a small mountain, occupies half of the hall!
The vital energy was like the sea, surging and surging, covering the place. Everyone felt as if they were bathing in a spiritual vein, and their body and mind felt indescribably refreshed!
People's eyes were shining, their expressions were almost distorted, and their exclamations were extremely loud. All these phenomena proved that their hearts were hurt.
This was too discouraging. Everyone invested tens of thousands of essences, or hundreds of thousands of essences. Even the Little Devil and Kong Hanqing only invested 50,000 and 100,000 essences. But this person actually invested 10 million essences with just a wave of his hand!
Moreover, the one bought was the Ninth City which had no hope of winning!
He is crazy, he must be crazy. He is a complete madman and idiot. He has essence but doesn't know where to spend it. He squanders it so lavishly. Why doesn't he be kind enough to share some with everyone
"Lei Zheng, you must gather your strength immediately. You must not lose this battle! Su He, follow me to the back hall."
Wang Fan came back to his senses and decisively gave two orders. At this moment, his face was heavier than ever before. He waved his hand, collected the essence on the ground into the mustard seed bag, and walked straight to the back hall.
"Lei Zheng, this is not a joke. We must not lose." Su He looked solemn. He warned the little devil and followed Wang Fan.
"Lose? How could I, the little devil king, lose?" The little devil glanced at Kong Hanqing and the other man, flicked his sleeves, and walked away with a cold laugh.
After a moment of silence, Kong Hanqing looked at Chong Feng and said, "Brother Chong, send someone to investigate the origins of these two people. Before the battle begins, I want to know all the information about them. Oh, and also the information about the contestants from the Ninth City. Investigate that as well."
"Don't worry, I will tell the master to send out the secret guards to investigate. Within three hours, everything will be clear." Chong Feng nodded, and his figure flashed and quickly disappeared in the hall.
"Spending ten million essences to buy the Ninth City, there must be something fishy about it." Kong Hanqing muttered to herself, with an inexplicable light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
The hall did not become quiet due to the disappearance of the essence. Instead, everyone's emotions became increasingly high, and they used the Universal Order to spread the news.
In less than fifty or sixty breaths, the news that someone had used ten million essences to buy the Ninth City had spread to everyone, and wherever there were people, they were talking about it.
Crowds of people continued to pour into the Eternal Casino. The purpose of everyone coming here was simply to see what kind of style this person had. Another reason was to consider who to buy!
If one million essences were just a gamble, then ten million essences were definitely not a coincidence. No one would be stupid enough to waste ten million essences.
Everyone had a vague idea that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"No matter what, you have to find out the identities of these two people for this city lord, as well as the contestant from the Ninth City!" In the back hall of the Eternal Casino, Wang Fan sat on a chair and said in a deep voice to Su He, who was trembling in front of him.
"Yes!" Su He took the order and without any hesitation, he immediately started to do it.
This was really a miscalculation. I didn't expect the other party to actually take out 10 million essences to buy the Ninth City. If the Ninth City really wins by then, the Eternal Casino will be in an irretrievable situation, and even the City Lord's Mansion will be greatly implicated.
"I really misjudged you. I didn't expect that you are the one who deserves the most attention." Wang Fan's eyes flickered and he was very angry. He had always focused his attention on Yan Kuan and completely ignored the silent Li Feng. How could he have thought that this person was the real person behind the scenes.
"Amazing! You can even deceive this city lord. I want to see who you are!"
…
In a secret room inside the fighting arena, a man in a purple and gold robe sat on a throne above, while two trembling middle-aged men stood below.
If Wutan was here, he would be surprised to find that the two middle-aged men were Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan from the Ninth City.
The man in the purple-gold robe looked at the two men for a few times and said with a faint smile: "Liu Taijun, Xu Yuan, tell me about the situation of Li Feng and Yan Kuan."
"Master Shadow Guard Commander, these two are the guardians of the Ninth City..."
Liu Taijun calmed himself down and slowly told Li Feng and his friend's life stories, experiences, and social situations word for word.
To be honest, Liu Taijun and the other person had an indescribable feeling towards Li Feng and Yan Kuan.
After leaving the restaurant that day, Liu Taijun sent people to follow the two men secretly. As a result, when they learned that Li Feng could kill the commander of the First City Guard with one move, the two men did not suspect anything and just felt that they might have a chance in this battle for the Shadow Guard.
So the two of them hurried to the First City, but they were stopped by the Shadow Guard Commander halfway and brought here. As a result, before they could even sit down, the news that Yan Kuan used one million essences to buy the Ninth City and Li Feng used ten million essences to buy the Ninth City spread like a plague.
The two men were not stupid. They guessed from what the Shadow Guard Commander said that the reason why the Lord called them here was entirely because of Li Feng and the other man, so they told him everything about the two men without any reservation.
"After guarding the altar for a hundred years, there have been earth-shaking changes. What has happened during this period?"
The Shadow Guard Commander narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "From today on, the two of you will stay by my side until the battle is over. In addition, without my permission, you are not allowed to tell anyone the identities of Li Feng and the others in private. Do you understand?"
Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan looked at each other, and saw a smile in each other's eyes. They bowed and said in unison: "We understand, and we will keep our mouths shut!"
…
The whole city was in an uproar, but Wu Tian and the other person, who were involved, got lost in the fighting arena. Yes, they got lost.
The fighting arena was larger than one could imagine. In addition to the wide platform in the center, there were also audience seats around it. Behind the audience seats, there were countless courtyards.
Wutan and the other man had no idea where the registration place was. They ran around here and there and ended up not even knowing where they were.
"Wutian, is this how you lead the way? I really doubt now whether you are born with a bad sense of direction." In a pavilion, Cang Zheng looked at Wutan unhappily and complained.
"Can you blame me? You know that divine consciousness can only cover a distance of a thousand feet." Wutan was speechless. In fact, it was Cang Zheng who led the way all the way, but in the end, all the responsibility was blamed on him. It was really unreasonable.
"Hey! Look, there's someone there. Let's go over and ask." Suddenly, they saw a woman in green walking slowly on a path a hundred feet away from the pavilion. Cang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he chased after her without caring whether Wutan had caught up or not.
"Hi! Girl." Before getting close, Cang Zheng waved and greeted her.
"Did you call me?"
The woman in green turned around, and her eyes lit up. Her delicate face was rosy, making her extremely charming. Her skin was like jade, shiny and delicate, as if it would break with the snap of a finger. Her soft and dark black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, showing her unparalleled charm!
This is a woman who is no less beautiful than Kong Hanqing. If Kong Hanqing is a gorgeous and moving rose, then this woman is a pure and clean lotus. Each has her own charm.
"Yes!" Cang Zheng took a few steps forward, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he bowed and smiled, "My name is Yan Kuan, may I ask your name, young lady?"
"You are Yan Kuan?" The woman in green was surprised, then smiled faintly and bowed, saying, "My name is Sikong Yanran, nice to meet Master Yan Kuan and Master Li Feng."
Cang Zheng was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "You know us?"
"Haha! The shocking actions of the two young masters in the Eternal Casino are now known to everyone in the First City. How could I not know about it? Maybe by now, the news has spread widely in the other eight cities!" Sikong smiled sweetly and purely, making it difficult for people to have any blasphemous feelings towards her.
"I see." Cang Zheng suddenly realized and glanced at Wu Tian, as if to say, See! It's all your fault. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Yanran, do you know where the Shadow Guard registration is?"
"Huh? Are you here to participate in the Shadow Guard election as well?" Sikong Yanran looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Haha!" Cang Zheng smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "With our strength, how can we be qualified to participate in the Shadow Guard election? We are just looking for someone we know. Could it be Miss Yanran, you are?"
"Not qualified?" Sikong Yanran gave the two of them a strange look, but didn't ask further questions. She smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you two gentlemen. I was sent by the Seventh City to participate in the Shadow Guard election."
"Miss, what are you saying? We don't even have the qualifications to participate, so how could we laugh at you? On the contrary, we should feel ashamed in front of you!" Cang Zheng shook his head and smiled, then continued: "Since Miss Yanran is here to participate in the Shadow Guard election, she must know the registration location!"
"Yes." Sikong Yanran nodded and said, "I am going there too. If you don't mind, you two gentlemen can go with me!"
Cang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I couldn't ask for more."
"Li Feng, let's go." After saying hello, Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran walked together, chatting happily, and headed towards the path they had walked together before.
"Sikong Yanran..."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Wu Tianmu was thoughtful. The two words "Sikong" were of great significance to him. If he had not obtained Sikong Lie's ring, he might have died long ago!
So when he heard the other person's name, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Rubbing the Sikong War Ring on his finger, Wutan slowly followed. Nearly a hundred years had passed, and the Sikong War Ring had been activated twice. Now there was only one chance left, and he didn't want to use it easily this time.
Entering the realm of subtlety has always been something Wu Tian longed for, but had been unable to accomplish. He had a strange feeling that as long as he could enter the realm of subtlety, he could definitely fight against a cultivator in the perfect stage!
"He is only at the initial stage of Divine Transformation, but he can fight against several Half-Step Unparalleled experts without losing. Who is he? Why is he so powerful? What is his relationship with me? And how can I cultivate to reach the level he reached back then?"
