Unrivaled City

Unrivaled City.

The headquarters of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

This city is known as the City of Peerless Treasures, where all the world's most precious treasures gather, hence its Unrivaled City.

Although Myriad Treasures Pavilion is not a sacred place for cultivation, it does have Saint presiding over Unrivaled City.

Neither righteous nor demonic cultivators, nor even cultivators from other races, dared to run wild in Unrivaled City.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion holds a grand auction every year, and its auctions every ten years are especially spectacular. If a centennial auction were to take place, it wouldn't be impossible for sacred objects to appear.

Therefore, countless cultivators come to Unrivaled City every year to participate in the auction.

With only one month left until the annual auction, this year's event coincides with a centennial celebration.

The Unrivaled City was bustling with activity.

All the inns were fully booked, and there were even incidents of cultivators fighting each other over rooms.

At times like these, Unrivaled City would deploy its guards to patrol the streets, and any private fights that occurred would be severely punished.

Of course, the two sides can also choose to duel on the Arena of Life and Death Arena in Unrivaled City.

To facilitate these cultivators' duels, a temporary Life and Death Arena was set up on each street.

Four Seas Inn is one of the top ten inns in Unrivaled City.

Naturally, it is also one of the important accommodation options for monks who come to participate in the auction.

The waiter and the shopkeeper were already extremely busy.

A group of strangely dressed young men and women walked into the inn in unison.

One of the young cultivators, tall and wearing a silver cloak, accompanied by a fierce tiger, asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any private courtyards here?"

The innkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard the words "detached house," as the price of a detached house was ten times higher than that of a regular superior room.

"Yes, there's one last villa, costing a thousand low-grade spirit stones per day."

Cao Youqian didn't even frown when he heard the number, casually tossing out a storage bag. "Give me a month's supply first."

Just as the storage bag landed on the counter, a sharp shout came from outside the door.

"Wait!"

Cao Youqian ignored the voice and said calmly, "Manager, what are you standing there for? Quickly take us to the other courtyard to stay."

The innkeeper didn't think much of it; the tiger demon at the Heavenly Origin Realm beside the man was far beyond his capabilities. He quickly replied, "Alright, I'll register the guest right away."

As he spoke, he took out a pen to register Cao Youqian and his group, when he suddenly felt a Sword Qi approaching.

"Shopkeeper, I told you to slow down, didn't you hear me?"

Cao Youqian's expression remained unchanged upon seeing the Sword Qi, and he didn't even attempt to stop it.

Instead, Ye Beixuan, dressed in green, reached out and grabbed the sword. He looked at the group of female cultivators walking in from outside and said calmly, "Does Your Excellency intend to wait with me on the Life and Death Arena?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of female cultivators who had just entered changed.

One of the women in red, wielding a sword, said, "Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you? If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently give up that courtyard, or you'll definitely witness the power of the Emotion-Forsaking Palace!"

Upon hearing the words "Emotion-Forsaking Palace," the onlookers in the inn stopped in their tracks to watch the drama unfold; it was rare for disciples of a sacred land to make a move.

Even the innkeeper stopped writing. Although Unrivaled City treated all forces equally, a holy land was still a holy land, and it was not something that a small Four Seas Inn could afford to offend. After all, the backer of Four Seas Inn was only a Half-Saint.

Ye Beixuan looked at the woman in red before him and said calmly, "You are not worthy to be my opponent."

These words were like a spark igniting a powder keg. The girl in red instantly exploded, unleashing the pressure of a fifth-level True Fate Realm, and shouted sharply, "You're courting death!"

Seeing this, the onlookers instinctively took several steps back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Some even whispered among themselves, "No wonder she's the pride of the Emotion-Forsaking Palace. She's only in her early thirties, yet she's already a True Fate Realm expert."

Standing behind Ye Beixuan, Han Paopao took a step forward and said calmly, "Senior Brother Ye is right. You are not qualified to be his opponent. If you want to fight, let me fight you."

"You... you dare to humiliate me!"

The woman in red suddenly raised her sword and swung it at Han Paopao.

Just then, a slender hand grasped the red-clad woman's hand, and a voice devoid of any emotion came from the side.

"Hongye, how dare you be so rude!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hongye turned to look at the woman wearing a veil and white robes beside her and asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, they're humiliating us! How can you swallow this insult?"

The woman in white said coldly, "Shut up, step back."

Although Yan Hongye was dissatisfied, she still took a step back with a sullen expression.

The woman in white took a step forward and bowed slightly to Cao Youqian, Xiao Chen, Qin Qin, and the others.

"Fellow Daoists Xiao, Cao, and Qin, my junior sister is unruly and has offended many people. I hope you will forgive her."

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Fairy Yuxin of the Emotion-Forsaking Palace would still remember us, her senior and junior brothers and sisters."

Fairy Yuxin's voice remained as cold as ever. "The Invincible Sword, the Unrivaled Tyrant Fist, the might of the White-Robed Zither Demon —I remember them all vividly. I never expected to meet three fellow Daoists here today."

hiss...

Everyone in the inn gasped in shock upon hearing this.

The name "White-Robed Zither Demon" may be unfamiliar to most people, but his Invincible Sword and Unrivaled Tyrant Fist are renowned throughout the world, earning him the title of Twin Prodigies of Seeking the Dao," and no one among the younger generation can rival his prowess.

Yan Hongye was completely stunned. She never expected that her attempt to show off her power would backfire on these very people.

This time, we've gotten ourselves into big trouble.

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Now that you know who we are, you know what to do, right?"

Fairy Yuxin said, "Hongye, why don't you quickly step forward and admit your mistake?"

Yan Hongye was completely terrified. Only after hearing her senior sister's words did she come to her senses. She took a few steps forward and said timidly, "Senior brothers and sisters, I was wrong."

"Fine, I'll spare your life this time, considering we both belong to the Holy Land. But don't fall into my hands next time; my Cao Youqian Extreme Dao Divine Fist treats everyone equally."

Cao Youqian said coldly.

"Yes, yes."

Yan Hongye responded twice and retreated timidly.

Fairy Yuxin also turned and left with her group of junior sisters, showing no intention of staying at the Four Seas Inn.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay in the slightest and immediately arranged a separate courtyard for Cao Youqian and the others.

After receiving the nameplate, Xiao Chen walked towards the villa under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The onlookers remained stunned for a long time after watching the dozen or so figures disappear.

The moment Xiao Chen and his group checked into the Four Seas Inn, news of their arrival in Unrivaled City to participate in the once-in-a-century auction spread throughout the Unrivaled City...
