Chapter 4123: Illusory Princess
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
Nine-wheel Citadel stood second only to Sea Emperor on this continent. In fact, for a long period of time, it was stronger than its rival and ruled over the region.
The most unmatched thing about Sea Emperor was its possession of two heavenly sword daos. How did Nine-wheel Citadel manage to overcome this in the past?
Of course, this was due to them producing waves of talents, but the primary reason was that they possessed three parts of one of the Nine Heavenly Scriptures, Six Wheels of the Myriad Realms.
They had three wheels out of the six - void, diamond, and earth. This made it easy for them to train top cultivators, culminating in four dao lords.
Its progenitor was Nine-wheel Dao Lord, a member of the sky spirit race and their very first dao lord. His talents and innate gifts were impeccable. He then eventually found part of the Heavenly Scripture, establishing an unshakable status for his sect.
These three wheels were definitely comparable to Sea Emperorâs two sword dao. Thus, they remained competitive over the years.
Though many came to greet the princess, there was a clear difference in their attitude versus Goldflow Young Nobleâs entrance.
They actually liked him so they sincerely greeted him. As for the princess, they had to do so out of fear and propriety.
âWhat is this sword?â She came over and glanced at the daoistâs sword, getting straight to the point.
She didnât care for this sword after having seen numerous treasures in her life, merely feeling curious after seeing her peers in this place. She thought about obtaining it in order to one-up them.
âItâs just a family heirloom.â The daoist could sense a sliver of hostility from her. He actually didnât think the sword was that precious. Itâs just he couldnât lose it or he would go down as a sinner.
âLet me see it.â She demanded imperiously.
This attitude wasnât appreciated, especially not after the daoist saw Goldflow and Snowcloud. He instinctively held the sword tighter and closer to his chest.
âNo need for that, itâs just a crappy sword. I wonât waste your time.â He smiled wryly.
Though he was an inexperienced traveler, he had heard of Nine-wheel Citadel and its might before.
âOld man, it is an honor to be asked by Her Highness.â A cultivator nearby said, wanting to please the princess and climb up Nine-wheel Citadel.
âNo way.â The daoist didnât like this development.
Illusory Princess didnât like this and uttered coldly: âI only want to take a look, do you think Iâll rob you of your crappy sword? Hmph, itâs not up to you either way.â
His expression darkened after hearing this.
âPrincess, donât make it difficult for him even if youâre just joking.â Goldflow Young Noble smiled.
âHeâs treating me like a robber and this sword like an ultimate treasure. As if I care about this piece of crapâ¦â She said.
âItâs our sectâs ultimate swordâ¦â The daoist complained, unable to endure her contemptuous speech.
âItâs still worthless.â She didnât like him because others would have happily handed her the sword.
As for this old man, he seemed afraid of her stealing from him. She viewed this as an insult.
âHow much, name the price and Iâll buy it.â She glared at him.
âItâs not for sale.â He immediately responded.
âI can afford it, donât worry. 3,000,000 Myriad Form Refined Jades, yes or no?â She snorted.
The crowd clamored afterward. This was quite a high price because the old man probably came from an unknown sect. Even his heirloom probably wasnât worth anything close to the offer.
In fact, they thought that he could sell his entire sect and that still wouldnât be enough. They didnât doubt the princessâ ability to pay this much either.
âIâm not selling.â He shook his head and spoke firmly. Though his sect and he were completely broke, he didnât want to sell their heirloom.
â5,000,000.â She spoke again, wanting to buy it more and more after seeing his refusal. She thought that a poor cultivator like him would cave eventually.
âDaoist Peng doesnât want to sell, letâs drop this matter, Princess.â Snowcloud chimed in, aware of Illusory Princessâ fiery temperament.
The girlâs pride and arrogance were understandable since she came from such a prestigious sect.
âThat only makes me want it more. 7,000,000.â The princess scowled.
Goldflow Young Noble and Snowcloud Princess exchanged glances. Their relationship with her wasnât strong enough to overcome her imperious and competitive nature.
â100,000,000.â A lazy voice interjected.
â100,000,000?!â The crowd looked over right away, astounded.
âWho is this, he dares to offend the princess?â Another murmured.
Everyone could see the princessâ insistence on obtaining this sword. It would be foolish to interfere right now since she was a top disciple of Nine-wheel Citadel.
âHe, heâs Li Qiye, the worldâs richest!â Someone shouted after seeing the bidder.
âLi Qiye? The guy with enough money to drown people to death?â Most have heard of Li Qiye at this point.
âHe can smash a hole in the sky with his money. Heâs the one who took down Dark Dragon Island, there are so many experts working for him right now so he can do whatever he wants. Bidding one hundred million is nothing more than a game to him.â One expert became jealous.
