People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 126 Simultaneous Breakthrough, Situation in the Black Corner Region

The shadows of Xianyuntan are lingering, and things change for a few times in autumn.

Before they knew it, half a year had passed since Chen Xiao and Zi Yan went into seclusion.

For someone immersed in cultivation and with a blurred sense of time, half a year seems to pass in the blink of an eye.

But for the complex situation in Black Corner, far too many things could happen.

A month after Chen Xiao and Zi Yan went into seclusion, they received a message from Hai Bodong that the Mittel family had arrived in the Black Corner Region.

It was from that time that Hai Bodong began his operations, holding a grand auction in the newly built Zixiao Pavilion.
To enhance his reputation, Hai Bodong specially took out a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and a low-level Earth-rank combat skill from the treasure vault as the grand finale. He even personally acted as the auctioneer, causing the reputation of Zixiao Pavilion to spread throughout the Black Corner Region overnight.

The success of the auction was naturally a good thing for Chen Xiao's side, as it allowed them to quickly convert the unused spoils in the treasury into resources, creating a virtuous cycle.

However, for some established powers in the Black Corner Region, this was bad news.

In the Black Corner Region, every established power has its own revenue streams.

Take Fengcheng for example. Han Feng's alchemy skills allowed him to establish a firm foothold and attract countless people to flatter him.

For example, the Beast Taming Sect sells flying magical beasts that are not only of high quality but also extremely docile and obedient, which are highly praised by various forces.

What's most impressive about the two established forces, the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect, is that they hold several auctions every month and large-scale auctions from time to time.

This is also a crucial method for the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect to consolidate resources.

When Maple City changed hands, the Beast Taming Sect and the Kui Wolf Gang perished one after another. The deaths of the Gold and Silver Elders outside the city served as a warning to these established forces. While there was some impact, it wasn't too significant.

After all, the power shifts in the Black Corner Region have always been very frequent.

However, when Maple City was renamed and a successful auction was held under the auspices of Hai Bodong, and it was announced that Zixiao Pavilion would hold two auctions every month and a large-scale auction every six months, the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect could no longer sit still.

Because such actions directly harm their interests!
Neither the Eight Doors nor the Black Emperor Sect wanted another competitor.

The two major forces were determined to stop the Purple Cloud Pavilion, but the strength that the Purple Cloud Pavilion had shown in the recent period of time made them quite wary.

Especially the two elders, Jin and Yin, who were able to kill these two people, must have been the work of a Dou Zong powerhouse.

Based on these considerations, the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect wanted to stop it but were powerless to reverse the situation.

But doing nothing is also impossible.

After all, the Purple Cloud Pavilion has Dou Zong level experts, and so does the Black Emperor Sect.

Therefore, the two major forces came together and, after some discussion, decided to invite the person in charge of the Zixiao Pavilion to discuss the rules for the future.

At the very least, the three parties cannot hold auctions simultaneously, as this would be bad for everyone. Only by staggering the times can they maximize their profits from the Black Corner Region.

However, despite repeated notifications from the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect, the Purple Cloud Pavilion showed no respect whatsoever, not even bothering to reply, and continued to do as it pleased.

This infuriated the two major powers, whose dissatisfaction with the Zixiao Pavilion grew daily, and their hostility intensified.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Eight Doors and the Black Emperor Sect have come again. They claim this is their last bit of patience, otherwise it will be a fight to the death, which would be bad for everyone."

Inside the Purple Cloud Pavilion, in a magnificent main hall, a guard bowed and reported.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong scoffed.

"What is the strength of the person who came?"

"Two fighting spirits."

"Just kick them out. I've heard these threats more than ten times. Every time they send two Dou Ling to inform me, do they really think they're so high and mighty? I've even stolen from Dou Zong experts, why would I be afraid of these nobodies!"

"Yes!"

A hint of admiration flashed in the guard's eyes, and he had no doubts about Hai Bodong's decision.

He came from the Jia Ma Empire and knew about the glorious achievements of his elder.

Ignoring the departing guards, Hai Bodong turned to Little Fairy Doctor across from him, took out a storage ring, and handed it over.

"Little Fairy Doctor, the storage ring contains the poisons and materials I've collected over the past two months. Please keep it safe. Also, the auction at the beginning of tomorrow is a large-scale auction held every six months. I plan to take out two low-level Earth-rank combat techniques and one low-level Earth-rank cultivation manual to auction. What do you think, Little Fairy Doctor?"

More than three months ago, Little Fairy Doctor emerged from seclusion ahead of schedule. Her strength had already advanced to the Dou Huang level.

Now, he has even reached the level of a three-star Dou Huang!
One of them is the Imperial Elixir.

Even so, Little Fairy Doctor's rate of improvement still left Hai Bodong speechless, and he finally understood why Chen Xiao was in such a hurry to go into seclusion.

Having such a prodigy who can improve his cultivation level as easily as eating and drinking by his side is really stressful!

Little Fairy Doctor took the storage ring, but shook her head with a smile when Hai Bodong asked her questions.

"The Ice Emperor can make the decision. He entrusted Zixiao City to you to manage, which means he has absolute trust in you, and I also trust his judgment."

Little Fairy Doctor had little interest in managing Zixiao City.

All she wants to do now is improve her strength so that she can help Chen Xiao more in the future.

This is both a way of repaying her and a promise she made.

Hai Bodong nodded helplessly: "Then I will still do as before and record the income and expenditure of the auction. Chen Xiao, that kid, is he really not afraid that I will ruin Zixiao City?"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and was about to say something when she suddenly sensed that the speed at which the energy of heaven and earth surged suddenly increased, and its scale was several times larger than when she broke through to the Dou Huang realm.

They exchanged a glance with Hai Bodong, and both realized something. Without further hesitation, they got up and quickly headed towards the bamboo forest in the center of the city.

Upon arriving at the foot of the bamboo building, the two, separated by the barrier set up by Queen Medusa, could both see the enormous energy vortex spinning rapidly in the sky.

This visible energy vortex, about thirty feet long, resembled a giant transparent funnel, spinning rapidly in the sky.

Until a certain moment, it suddenly stopped operating, and then, a huge amount of energy poured down like a waterfall, evenly splitting into two and flowing into the bamboo building.

Two torrents of energy surged forth. One rushed straight to Chen Xiao's room on the third floor, while the other flowed directly into Zi Yan's room, which was not far away and emitted a faint purple aura, pouring into the cocoon of light.

These two torrents of energy tore through the air, creating a sharp tearing sound that demonstrated the immense power they contained.

"Chen Xiao and Zi Yan are quite in sync, they actually broke through at the same time."

Hai Bodong looked surprised, realizing why such a commotion had occurred.

Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor felt that familiar power fluctuation sweeping over her like morning mist. Her originally cold face was instantly brightened by a gentle smile, and her eyebrows curved.

In a room on the third floor.

After sitting in meditation for half a year, Chen Xiao felt the increasingly powerful force within his body, and the corners of his lips slightly turned up, but he did not fully wake up.

Emerging from a deep state of cultivation, the effects of the Starfall Soul-Suppressing Pill fully took hold, causing the invisible and intangible soul power to visibly increase. The powerful soul power spread out uncontrollably like a tidal wave, and in almost an instant, the entire Purple Cloud City was within its perception.

Moreover, he could sense that this was far less than one percent of his limit!

He could clearly see Xiao Yixian and Hai Bodong standing below the bamboo building, craning their necks to look around, and he could also see Zi Yan happily waking up from her deep sleep in the room not far away.

The girl seemed unaware of the changes in her body. She lazily leaned back and stretched until half of her vision was blocked, at which point she was startled, followed by a pleasant surprise.

After quickly assessing the changes in her body, her joy became even more undisguised. She took out an ill-fitting dress from her storage ring, put it on, and eagerly opened the door, running towards Chen Xiao's room to share the good news.

But just as she reached the door, a burst of purple light erupted, and the exquisite body slowly shrank under her stunned gaze, transforming back into the appearance of a little girl.

Seeing this, Zi Yan pouted, put on her dress with a resentful look, and all the joy on her face turned into resentment. She sat there in front of Chen Xiao's door, completely withdrawn, and lost all joy of advancing in rank.

Chen Xiao chuckled to himself, wondering if the little girl had forgotten what Cao Xi had said before he left.

Feeling a surge of joy, Chen Xiao temporarily stopped paying attention to the little dragon and focused his attention on the soul power that was constantly spreading towards the Black Corner Region.

As this spiritual power spread, countless images entered Chen Xiao's mind.

Between the mountain ranges, powerful magical beasts occasionally sensed this silent soul scan. Immediately, earth-shattering roars and howls resounded throughout the vast mountain ranges, and countless low-level magical beasts in the mountains trembled in fear amidst these roars.

In cities where humans live, many powerful individuals have also sensed this.

For example, a mysterious man in black robes who temporarily hid within a small faction.
