Juntian Sect's Plan! The Empress Will Arrive in Qingzhou!

Juntian Sect's Plan! The Empress Will Arrive in Qingzhou!

While Lin Shu was drawing prizes.

News of the Langya Auction House's auction spread as well.

Now, because of the Divine Hall, Qingzhou had gathered experts from all over the continent.

The moment news of the Langya Auction House spread, it instantly swept across all of Qingzhou.

The news released by the Langya Auction House was simply too shocking.

The items they intended to auction were things that even Titled Douluo would covet.

For a time, news of the Langya Auction House stirred up a massive storm throughout Qingzhou.

At the same time.

Another piece of news emerged from an unknown source.

"The Langya Hall was actually destroyed by this Langya Auction House!"

"The place where Langya Hall once stood has now been renamed Heavenly Pavilion, and Tianding City has also been renamed Sky City!"

"The Heavenly Pavilion has taken over. The Langya Auction House is merely an auction house under the Heavenly Pavilion!"

"How is that possible? I have never even heard of the Langya Auction House. What strength could it possibly have to destroy Langya Hall?"

"I don't believe it. This has to be fake news, right?"

Clearly, no one believed that an obscure force could destroy Langya Hall.

They believed that Langya Hall had been destroyed, but they absolutely did not believe it had been destroyed by some unknown force.

That was simply too absurd.

However, as they investigated further and some experts personally went to Sky City to look into it, they had no choice but to believe it.

The rumors were true.

Tianding City had indeed been renamed Sky City.

At the center of Sky City, at the sect grounds where Langya Hall had once stood, the Langya Hall plaque had been replaced by one bearing the Heavenly Pavilion's name.

All signs indicated that Langya Hall had indeed been destroyed by the Heavenly Pavilion.

For a time, the many forces and experts from other regions who had come to Qingzhou were utterly shocked.

That was a top-tier force. Across the entire continent and the whole Human Race, let alone forces capable of destroying Langya Hall, there were very few that could even compare to it.

At least openly, there were no more than twenty Human Race forces capable of rivaling Langya Hall.

Could this Heavenly Pavilion be some hidden ancient force?

Qingzhou, Haotian Commandery.

The Juntian Sect naturally received the news as well.

They could not help but be shocked upon hearing it.

The many forces outside did not know the origins of the Langya Auction House.

But they did.

Not long ago, the Juntian Sect had joined forces with Langya Hall to kill Lin Langya, the Guild Master of the Langya Auction House.

They had never expected that the force behind the Langya Auction House would now emerge and directly destroy Langya Hall.

They had never heard of this Heavenly Pavilion either.

Tang Ming, the Juntian Sect's Sect Master, and the many elders of the Juntian Sect were filled with fear.

Judging from all the signs, it had come for revenge.

"What do we do now?"

Tang Ming looked at the many elders in the sect hall and asked.

Clearly, their previous assumption had now been proven wrong.

The one that destroyed Langya Hall was not some Divine Hall Guardian Force.

There was no way the Divine Hall Guardian Force could have anything to do with the Langya Auction House.

Inside the great hall, the many elders fell silent.

Although the Divine Hall Guardian Force was powerful, there was still a way to restrain it—draw the continent's forces here.

However, against this Langya Auction House, they now had no solution at all.

The continent's forces had come to restrain the Divine Hall Guardian Force because the Divine Hall's interests were involved.

Those forces had no interests tied to the Langya Auction House, so naturally, they would not oppose it.

Now, they could only face everything themselves.

"There are only two options now!"

An elder spoke.

The other elders immediately asked:

"What options?"

The elder continued:

"The first option is to submit to the Heavenly Pavilion!"

"Although the Heavenly Pavilion is the force behind the Langya Auction House and is willing to stand up for it, if we are willing to submit to the Heavenly Pavilion, it cannot possibly reject the submission of a top-tier force just for the Langya Auction House. As long as we offer greater benefits than the Langya Auction House, the Heavenly Pavilion should agree!"

As soon as he said this.

Some elders silently nodded, clearly somewhat agreeing.

On the continent, interests came before everything else.

They believed that the benefits the Juntian Sect could bring the Heavenly Pavilion would definitely exceed what the entire Langya Auction House could offer.

After all, the Langya Auction House was merely an auction house from a small place. Whether in strength or foundation, it was far inferior to the Juntian Sect.

However, some elders rejected the idea. They believed that as a dignified top-tier force, how could they submit to another force?

Seeing that some elders objected, the elder continued:

"The second option is to join the Empire!"

"Though the Empire is powerful, it does not have many top-tier forces under its command. If we join the Empire, it will have absolutely no reason to refuse!"

"The Empire once declared that any force joining it would receive its protection. No matter how powerful this Heavenly Pavilion is, it cannot be a match for the Empire. If we join the Empire, the Heavenly Pavilion will not be able to do anything to us!"

Upon hearing this option, although some elders still had reservations, the opposition was not nearly as strong.

After all, compared to submitting to the Heavenly Pavilion, joining the Empire was indeed much better.

The only downside was that they had not joined the Empire before, yet were joining it now. This would cause many outside forces to scorn them.

After all, quite a few forces had secretly agreed never to join the Empire and had even agreed to resist it.

Now that the Juntian Sect was joining the Empire, many forces would surely choose to cut off contact with it.

However, for the sake of survival, they had no choice. Let those forces scorn them if they wished; they could not help the Juntian Sect resist the Heavenly Pavilion anyway.

With the decision made, the Juntian Sect Master immediately gave the order:

"Good. In that case, Fifth Elder, you will negotiate with the Empire. While securing its protection, do your best to obtain some benefits as well!"

The elder who had proposed the options nodded, indicating that he knew what to do!

On the other side.

The Yaoquan Empire.

As the Empire's founder and its emperor, Su Yao had also received a message.

The letter had come from her younger sister, Su Qian.

According to her sister, she was currently serving as the Chief Auctioneer at the Langya Auction House.

At first, Su Yao had not paid much attention after reading only the beginning. A little-known auction house was not worth her sister going to.

However, as her sister continued describing it, even Su Yao, the current ruler of the Empire, was somewhat surprised.

According to her sister, this Langya Auction House was extraordinarily unusual. Its strength was actually greater than that of some top-tier forces.

It had even been able to destroy Langya Hall.

Langya Hall was one of the Lower Seven Sects on the continent, a force that inherited the top-tier tool Martial Soul, the Langya Cauldron.

To Su Yao, it was no more than an ant, something she could destroy whenever she wished.

But this force had no fame at all across the continent, which made it quite surprising.

"More than ten Super Douluo, over a hundred Titled Douluo!"

"There may even be an inheritor of a Godly Martial Soul!"

"Could it be an inheritance force left behind by some Divine Being?"

Based on Su Qian's account, Su Yao could not help but speculate.

After all, that was the only possibility!

However, when she saw the items that the Langya Auction House was about to auction, her heart was stirred as well.

Moreover, her sister had actually suggested that she make the trip personally.

As the Empress of the Empire, she naturally needed to remain and oversee the Empire. But since her sister had said so.

Making a trip to Qingzhou was not impossible.

As it happened, news had just arrived from Qingzhou concerning the Divine Hall.

Perhaps she could arrive in time for the opportunity connected to the Divine Hall.

Very soon, Su Yao made the arrangements. Once everything had been settled, she boarded a phoenix carriage. With many experts clearing the way and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast pulling the carriage, she flew toward Qingzhou...
