70: Keep being arrogant

"Good, very good. I'd like to see how you plan on keeping those things!"

Inside Box Number Two, the Great Emperor from the Thunder Holy Land snorted coldly and fell silent.

He had already made up his mind. Whether it was the changguang fruit or the heavenly thunder origin liquid, the moment the other party stepped out of the Cangling Chamber of Commerce, he would personally move to seize them.

He had never heard of any Ancient Heavenly Dynasty; perhaps they had used some petty tricks to get into the box.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to take the changguang fruit and the heavenly thunder origin liquid for himself.

From inside Box Number One, Ying Lanfeng's cold voice also rang out.

"Fellow Daoist, a person's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. If you take too many things, it's easy to invite disaster."

In the face of absolute temptation, her thoughts were identical to those of the Great Emperor from the Thunder Holy Land; both were thinking of waiting for Gu Jixiao to leave before making a move to snatch the changguang fruit and the heavenly thunder origin liquid.

In any case, their Tianguang Holy Land was essentially an invincible existence on the Heavenly Saint Continent. Aside from those other two Great Sacred Lands, who would dare claim to be an opponent of their Tianguang Holy Land?

"Disaster? My Ancient Heavenly Dynasty fears disaster the least. If you wish to be enemies with my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, then you must be prepared to face all the consequences!"

To their complete surprise, even with both Holy Lands speaking out, Gu Jixiao showed no fear at all and even continued to speak arrogantly.

Inside Box Number Five, Shen Qingyu looked worried, her small hand tugging at Gu Jixiao's sleeve.

"Husband, isn't it a bit unwise to act like this? Those are two Holy Lands, after all."

"It's fine. My Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is destined to unify the entire Heavenly Saint Continent, and the Three Great Sacred Lands are destined to come out and obstruct us. So, it's just a matter of time."

Gu Jixiao waved his hand dismissively, not caring in the least.

If they had the guts to attack directly, it would save him the trouble of finding an excuse to take them down.

Looking at his panel again, his prestige value had already reached a terrifying five billion.

And it was still skyrocketing at an extremely frightening speed.

After all, having just taken over the Six Great Dao Domains, Tiannan Supreme and the others should be following his orders to unify the entire Dao Domain in his name.

It was perfectly normal for his prestige value to soar rapidly at this time.

Furthermore, he had previously only used a Diamond Draw and five gold draws to get such good items.

It was hard to imagine what kind of good things he would get if he used all five billion prestige value for draws now.

However, Gu Jixiao had no intention of doing any draws for the time being.

He didn't have any pressing needs right now; if a situation he couldn't handle arose in the future, it wouldn't be too late to do the draws then.

"Good, good, good. My Thunder Holy Land will remember this. Your Ancient Heavenly Dynasty better have the strength to back up your arrogance!"

The Great Emperor of the Thunder Holy Land snorted coldly and immediately left the box.

He was going to make preparations to prevent Gu Jixiao from slipping away with the changguang fruit and the heavenly thunder origin liquid.

Just as he opened the door to his box, he saw the door to the adjacent Box Number One also open.

Ying Lanfeng, with a face as cold as frost, stepped out.

She looked surprised upon seeing the Great Emperor of the Thunder Holy Land and gave a cold snort.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Great Emperor Tianlei."

Great Emperor Tianlei was a Mid-stage Great Emperor of the Thunder Holy Land. Since he often appeared in public, Ying Lanfeng naturally knew him.

And upon seeing Ying Lanfeng, Great Emperor Tianlei couldn't help but show a bit of surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be you."

Previously, he had been very curious about which Elder from the Tianguang Holy Land was attending the auction, but he hadn't expected Ying Lanfeng to attend in person.

However, thinking about the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Tianguang Holy Land and then considering the changguang fruit, everything seemed to make sense.

At this moment, Ying Lanfeng spoke, her tone cold.

"Tianlei, are you interested in collaborating? Once it's done, the changguang fruit will be mine, and the heavenly thunder origin liquid will be yours."

Hearing this, Great Emperor Tianlei fell into thought, and after a long while, he sneered.

"I alone can take down this so-called Ancient Heavenly Dynasty. Why should I cooperate with you?"

"Oh? Are you sure? What if my Tianguang Holy Land moves to protect the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty?" Ying Lanfeng raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke.

"You..."

Great Emperor Tianlei's expression immediately turned grim. He naturally guessed what Ying Lanfeng meant.

Protect the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, but only on the condition that the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty hands over the changguang fruit and the heavenly thunder origin liquid.

In any case, for the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, it would be much better than being wiped out.

"Besides, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty can produce 400,000 Top-Grade Spiritual Liquids. Do you think such a power would be unknown on the Heavenly Saint Continent?"

Ying Lanfeng spoke pointedly, causing Great Emperor Tianlei to frown slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is very likely either a small Imperial Dynasty that obtained a Great Opportunity, or a powerful Imperial Dynasty that has been living in seclusion."

"It's just that compared to the former, the latter is more likely."

Ying Lanfeng shrugged as she spoke, and her expression couldn't help but turn solemn.

If the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty was a powerful secluded Imperial Dynasty, there must be several Great Emperors within it for them to dare challenge them like this.

Therefore, before confirming the strength of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, forming an alliance with the Thunder Holy Land was clearly the wisest choice.

Great Emperor Tianlei also guessed Ying Lanfeng's thoughts, but he didn't expose them. After some careful consideration, he finally spoke.

"Fine. Since that's the case, let's agree beforehand: the heavenly thunder origin liquid is mine, and the changguang fruit is yours."

"It's a deal."

Thus, Ying Lanfeng and Great Emperor Tianlei reached a cooperation agreement with the goal of taking down the entire Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

The two were quite confident in taking down the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty. After all, with their two Holy Lands combined, even the Purple Flame Holy Land would definitely be no match.

While the two already considered the changguang fruit and the heavenly thunder origin liquid as their own, Qin Tianqiu, the president of the Cangling Chamber of Commerce, had a grim expression.

Simply because he had no idea what the hell this Ancient Heavenly Dynasty was. Wasn't that Peak Quasi-Emperor from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?

Could he really produce 400,000 units of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid?

Previously, in order to build relationships with certain powerful forces, the Cangling Chamber of Commerce had established a rule that guests qualified to enter the boxes did not need their assets verified; they could settle the payment after the auction ended.

After a long while, Qin Tianqiu sighed, looked at the items in his hand, and set off toward Box Number Five.

No matter what, if the other party didn't hand over the 400,000 Top-Grade Spiritual Liquids, he would definitely make them pay dearly.

Soon, Qin Tianqiu arrived at Box Number Five. Putting back on his shrewd smile, he knocked on the door.

"Guest, your auction items are here."

As Qin Tianqiu spoke, the box door opened. Gu Jixiao walked up to him and looked at the storage ring in Qin Tianqiu's hand with a satisfied expression.

"Alright, give me the things."

Qin Tianqiu froze for a moment, but he still forced a smile onto his face.

"Guest, you haven't given me the money yet. How can I give you the items?"

"Oh, can't you give me the items first, and then I'll give you the money?"

Gu Jixiao raised an eyebrow slightly, crossed his arms, and looked at Qin Tianqiu calmly.

Over the years, Qin Tianqiu had seen all kinds of scenes and people.

So with just one look, he could tell that Gu Jixiao didn't intend to pay.
