After Qi Tian took action, the people of Hanhai truly did not even have the chance to fight back.
Even though Qi Tian"s cultivation had decreased tremendously compared to before, the three of them had all increased their cultivation levels after obtaining the Tian Yuan left behind by an ancient saint in the secret realm.
Qi Tian was originally a character that could compete with the remnant soul of Daoist Qian Yuan, who was inside the Yan Country"s Great Guarding Formation. After raising his cultivation by a stage, he became even more powerful.
Although An Zaiyue was unable to ascertain Qi Tian"s true cultivation level, he estimated that he had stepped into the Great Perfection Stage at the very least.
According to what Qi Tian had said, he had never even put Immortals in his eyes.
He Lian"s careful subordinate called Mu Yun strode forward. A ball of bright light flickered in his hand.
Qi Tian refused to admit defeat the most, especially since it was already the territory of the Buddhist Sect after they arrived in West Qiang. The ruthless aura from him became more and more obvious.
However, at that moment, someone from outside suddenly shouted for them to stop.
Mu Yun subconsciously stopped and Qi Tian looked outside.
Teams of armored warriors had already sealed off the street outside, while many other cultivators in long linen robes even covered their heads, making it impossible for even a drop of water to leak out of the Lent.
These cultivators looked extremely strange; apart from their eyes, all of them were covered by a long robe made of sackcloth.
""Ghost Guards!""
It was unknown who shouted, but there was a hint of fear in his voice.
Although they had just arrived in Hanshui City, An Zaixin and his men had also inquired about the affairs of the city.
They had also heard that the most mysterious and powerful people in this city were the Ghost Guards of the imperial palace.
The Ghost Guards were not under the control of any of the officials in West Qiang. They only listened to the orders of the King and took responsibility for the King himself.
As soon as the Ghost Guards appeared, that meant … the king of the West Brotherhood was here.
Although Helian Lie was careful to be domineering, he didn"t really think highly of the people of West Qiang. After all, he was in their territory, and the other party was a king.
West Qiang was stronger than any other country in the sixteen kingdoms. If it wasn"t for the mountain separating the two kingdoms on the west side of Zhao and the support of Yan Guo, West Qiang would have destroyed the country long ago.
Several women wearing long white dresses with white veils covering their faces held up their umbrellas as they stood at the entrance.
He couldn"t clearly see their faces, but their bodies were extremely hot.
The dress reached to the ground, but the blouse was very short. Everyone"s snow-white waist was exposed, and there was even a small silver chain hanging from their navel.
His steps were swaying, his posture was light, and his small waist that could be grasped with one hand was moving the hearts of those who saw it.
Several ghost guards in long linen robes walked in from the outside, separating the two sides.
Following that, there was a hearty laughter: ""Hahahaha … When you get to my Great Qiang Nation, you will all be my guests.""
One is the young master of the Great Xi Helian Clan and the other is the Duke of the Yan Kingdom.
A burly man with a full beard strode in. He was 1.9 meters tall and had an extremely majestic figure.
The b.u.t.tons of the jacket were unb.u.t.toned, revealing the thick chest hair underneath.
An Zhe"s expression changed slightly. He had just arrived in West Qiang, how did this king know his ident.i.ty so quickly?
Then, An Zhe saw the Mage of the Profound Palace standing solemnly behind King Qiang.
The moment he saw him, An Zhe instantly understood.
He just couldn"t imagine how this Mage from the Profound Palace could meet the King of the West Branch so quickly.
When An Zhe thought of the att.i.tude of the monks in the Pure Water Temple towards the Mages of the Profound Palace, he couldn"t help but have some doubts about this monk"s ident.i.ty.
The king of the West, De Hjada, seemed to have a boorish and bold personality. His voice was very loud when he spoke, but his expression was rather friendly.
He did not care and walked over. He grabbed Helian"s hand and carefully pulled him up.
""Come, come,"" he said, ""come, come, come, and speak with me at the palace.""
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with the two men.
He Lian was also a little surprised in his heart. He did not expect that the one with the most secure ident.i.ty would be an Imperial Duke.
Although a small country like the Yan Country didn"t seem to be worth mentioning in Da Xi"s eyes, the Duke"s status was definitely prestigious.
As he walked, he kept glancing at An Zhe. The smile in his eyes was actually a little playful.
Just like the people of West Qiang, the imperial palace of West Qiang was built in a rugged fashion.
One word, big.
The stone walls were fifteen meters high, and the soldiers in leather armor looked extremely strong.
An Zhe noticed that every hundred meters on the walls of the palace, there was a large weapon that looked like a crossbow. However, the terrifying aura it emanated allowed one to clearly feel that it was a magical weapon, and its might was definitely not small.
For hundreds of years, the State of West Qiang had a solid foundation.
The de Jaya clan had never wavered in their rule of the West. They were extremely prestigious in the West.
There was a table full of fine wine and delicacies.
De Jiada pointed at the beautiful women from the West Branch and asked, ""How are the beauties from my Big Branch doing?""
Helian looked carefully at the dancing women and smiled. ""They are all human beauties.""
""Since Young Master Helian likes it, just take it with you.""
Helian hurriedly shook his head cautiously. ""No matter how much I love it, I still don"t dare to taint the king"s things.""
A king is a king; not a single blade of gra.s.s or tree of a king can be touched by others.
""Hahahaha!""
""Young Master Helian really knows how to speak, but as you said, I am the king of the Big Qiang.""
How could he not say something? Since he had already said it, how could he not take it back?
He hurriedly said carefully, ""Since that"s the case, I can only accept the king"s good intentions.""
""What about you, Father of An?""
An Zhan shrugged his shoulders. ""The family has a fiendish wife. She"s afraid of getting beaten up and doesn"t dare to do anything rash.""
""Men, what fear of women.""
I have three thousand beauties, who would dare to be jealous of me? ""
An Zeng smiled without saying a word.
""I heard that there was some conflict between the two of you. It was a trivial matter, so why are you getting angry?""
""Since they are all here for those female disciples of the Skysea Palace, why don"t we use this conflict as a compet.i.tion? Wouldn"t it be more masculine?""
He hurriedly said carefully, ""Since your Majesty has such intentions, I naturally will listen to you.""
""I just don"t know the att.i.tude of this Duke An of some small country.""
""I don"t have much money with me. When will the auction begin?"" An Zaiyue sighed.
""The first auction will begin in four hours.""
Helian Haoyan carefully replied, ""No money. This is truly unbelievable.""
""A n.o.bleman who doesn"t have much money when he goes out. Your country"s culture is truly honest and honest.""
An Zhe then asked, ""How much is the starting price for a female disciple of Skyfire Palace?""
""Two hundred thousand.""
De Jiada lowered his voice and said, ""He"s even the one with the worst looks. If he"s one of the best, I"m afraid that even five hundred thousand or even a million wouldn"t be enough to stop him.""
""How many female disciples are there in the palace?""
""Three hundred and thirty-two.""
There were less than a thousand female disciples in the Palace, but West Qiang actually captured more than three hundred of them.
One had to know that the rules for taking in disciples were extremely strict. A girl with no talent would never be able to enter the Palace.
Among these three hundred plus people, there must be true experts. How could West Qiang have such powerful strength to capture all three hundred of them?
""Then I still lack some silver.""
An Zhan said his goodbyes. ""Your Majesty, please allow me four hours. I"ll go earn some money and come back.""
""Now... to earn some money?""
An Zhan nodded earnestly, ""Mm, because I didn"t bring enough, I went out to earn some money.""
""I see that there are quite a few auction houses in Hanshui City. If there are any disputes later, I will have to take care of them.""
""As long as it is in accordance with the laws of the Great Qiang, you can earn as much money as you wish,"" he said.
""However, it"s been less than four hours since the auction started. How much do you plan to earn?""
As An Zeng walked out, he said, ""It"s better if there"s more than that Helian guy.""
Helian laughed carefully as he patted the table. ""I like being poor and sour like this. Beating such a person"s face is the best.""
Skinny Du and Qi Tian got up and followed An Zeng out. Skinny Du ran to An Zeng"s side and asked, ""How much money do you need to buy all the female disciples from Skyfire Palace?""
An Zhan: ""It"s hard to say. The number will be so huge that it would scare people to death.""
My initial estimate is that we can only save three or four people with a few dozen pounds of gold grade spirit stones.
The other party has more than three hundred female disciples. I"m not sure if we can save them all in one go.
""Right now, I need to earn as much money as possible.""
""Ah?""
""If you"re not confident, you should tell that Helian to carefully earn more money than him.""
An Zhan smiled, ""This guy"s compet.i.tive spirit is too strong. After I told him that, there"s nothing else to do in this auction.""
He would never allow anyone else to take action.
""He would wait for me and keep raising the price to make me lose.""
""Then why are you still talking?""
""At the very least, if others can"t take it away, then gathering everyone here is good news for us.""
The three of them quickly left the palace in Hanshui City. ""How do you plan on making money?""
An Xuan said, ""I have a lot of magical equipment with me, as well as the pills that Xiao Liu"er has given me. Even if the price is a little lower, I will still sell them.""
If I really can"t do it, then I"ll sell the Ice Soul. After repairing the Ice Soul, I added in a few Giant Star Dragon Marking Steel, and the Ice Soul"s grade increased to the middle Gold rank.
""As long as someone is willing to help with all the magic tools and medicinal pills I have with me, at the very least, ten million taels of silver will not be a small amount.""
""But, I can"t ask for money. I want spirit stones.""
It was not easy to bring along silver, and once the amount exceeded ten million, there was no way to price it with silver.
""As much as you can earn in four hours.""
At the same time, in the imperial palace of Hanshui City.
De Jiada asked Helian, who was sitting beside him, ""Do you need me to help Young Master Helian?""
""As long as I give the order, no auction house in Hanshui City will dare to accept his things or conduct his business.""
He Lianlian carefully muttered a few words that were sly and crafty, then smiled and said, ""No need, my King. To subdue your opponent and make your opponent accept it, you still need to rely on your powerful strength.""
Let him go and open the door to his business.
""I"d like to see just how capable this fart so-called Duke of the Yan can be.""
De Jiada shook his head, ""What, it seems that young master is really going to compete with him in the auction?""
Helian hurriedly said carefully, ""Please give me a word and tell the other buyers to disperse.""
This is between me and the man surnamed An today, and no one else has the right to take part in it.
""If they are not convinced, then the King will just push them towards the Helian Family.""
He pointed outside and said, ""Mu Yun, seal up the outside of the auction venue and put on the Helian Clan flag.""
He picked up his wine cup and took a sip. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, ""Everyone says that fighting is divided into ranks. They"re not on the same level as you, there"s no point in fighting.""
""I am a person who likes to fight. No matter if you are stronger or not, as long as you dare to fight, I will earnestly accompany you.""
He leaned back. ""I just hope he doesn"t lose too quickly. Wouldn"t that be boring?"""
