Chapter 241 The Temptation of Treasure (4000 Subscriptions Requested)
The middle-aged man in silver robe flashed and landed lightly on the square where Xu Yang was.
He followed Xu Yang's example and sat cross-legged on the ground.
At this time, Xu Yang was tearing and chewing meat with big mouthfuls, without saying a word. He just waved to the kings who were serving beside him. Those kings immediately placed various gourmet plates in front of the middle-aged man in silver robe and served him various fine wines.
So the two of them started eating and drinking in the square. Xu Yang was a big man, and he looked like a small mountain when he sat there. He opened his huge black mouth and devoured all kinds of food wantonly. The middle-aged man in silver robe was of normal small size, and his eating movements were leisurely and elegant. But what was surprising was that although his movements seemed slow, he actually consumed food not much slower than Xu Yang.
After a while.
"Burp~~~" Xu Yang patted his stomach and burped contentedly. He pushed the plate in front of him to the side and said to the opposite side, "It's so delicious. This meal is so comfortable."
The silver-robed middle-aged man shook his divine power, cleaned his hands, and forced a smile on his cold face: "Thank you for your hospitality, my friend. My name is Xuan Bingzi. May I know your name?"
"Xuan Bingzi? What a nice name. I'm just a crude guy, you can just call me Dongshan." Xu Yang smacked his lips and said in a rumbling voice.
After exchanging their names, the two of them spent the next few hours exchanging some information. Both of them had ulterior motives, and although they didn't try to flatter each other, they still had a pleasant conversation. Xu Yang looked cheerful and generous, while Xuan Bingzi had a cold face. However, he had a high EQ, and his cold words did not make people feel disgusted, but instead made people feel that it was his nature.
Just as the two were talking happily, suddenly two golden lights flashed in from outside the green waves and shot straight towards their cave palace.
Upon seeing the golden light, Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi stopped talking and grabbed into the air with one hand.
The two golden lights that shot towards their respective palaces suddenly turned into a metal talisman that fell straight down and landed into their hands. There were fine patterns engraved on it.
"Dongshan Overlord, please follow the golden talisman to the Wanshi Hall to discuss important matters."
"Mysterious Overlord, please follow the golden talisman to the Wanshi Palace to discuss important matters."
Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi looked at each other and said with a smile, "Let's go together?"
Then both of them burst into laughter, and everything was self-evident. Suddenly, with a surge of divine power, two metal talismans turned into streams of light that led the way ahead.
The stars are very big, but the Palace of All Things is not on the stars. Instead, it is in a void palace on the shadow side of the stars. Outside the palace is a kind of maple-like tree planted, and all the leaves are glowing with a strange purple glow.
As soon as he approached the void, a gust of wind blew over, so cold that it felt like a knife cutting him.
Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi's expressions changed, but a surge of divine power suddenly emerged from their bodies, and then they continued to shoot forward as if nothing had happened.
I think this should be a level with an implicit test meaning. After all, the strength of the alliance depends entirely on one's own reporting. If one cannot even withstand this layer of strong wind and cold wave, he is obviously a liar and will naturally be identified at once.
Before entering the temple, two graceful purple shadows suddenly shot out from the strange purple maple trees planted outside the temple. After a few flashes, they landed thousands of meters away from Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi.
The two were stunned for a moment, and the flash of light disappeared, and their figures appeared under the stimulation of divine power.
"My servant greets you two masters. These are my two clones. From now on, they can convey urgent messages to other masters on your behalf." The light in front also dimmed, revealing two graceful women who looked exactly the same. They spoke to Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi at the same time.
"So that's how it is. That's a good move by the alliance." Xuan Bingzi chuckled. There are many beings in the universe who have the ability to create clones, but there are not many strong ones like this who have a large number of clones.
Regardless of how powerful these clones are, simply using them for long-distance communication is extremely fast!
The two women had beautiful smiles, fair skin and pretty faces, as if they were in their twenties. They just covered their mouths lightly and turned into two maple leaves with strange purple patterns flashing and floated towards the two men.
Xu Yang stretched out his hand to take it, and probed into one of them with his divine power. He found that it was indeed just an ordinary clone, so he put it directly into a blank ring with confidence.
"Let's go. I don't know if we are the first ones to arrive." Xu Yang laughed and strode forward.
Xuan Bingzi also collected the maple leaves and followed.
The door of the palace was wide open, like a huge dark abyss, swallowing up all the light.
Xu Yang was not stage-frightened. He stepped in first and disappeared in a flash.
Xuan Bingzi's eyes flashed and he also threw himself in.
He was trying to be mysterious, thinking that he could appear more noble by setting up an illusion array here. Xuan Bingzi couldn't help but look down on him in his heart. A nouveau riche is just a nouveau riche.
The main hall is right after the entrance. There are a man and two women sitting in the hall, chatting about something. When they saw the two people appear, all eyes fell on Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi.
The man was none other than Overlord Lan Yu who had received them at the command center. He had snow-white hair, a grey robe, and a lazy and unfocused look on his face.
The female one had eyes like torches, a stiff face, and was wearing light red armor. The other one seemed to be an energy life, transformed into an extremely beautiful lady, and her every frown and smile seemed like a person in a painting.
Overlord Lan Yu should be the initiator. He stood up slightly, smiled and extended his hand to invite: "Dongshan, Xuanbingzi, please take a seat. There is no priority, whoever comes first will take a seat first."
Xu Yang and Xuan Bingzi nodded and clasped their fists slightly.
The two of them chose seats close to each other, which made the three people who arrived earlier couldn't help but look at each other with glint in their eyes, especially Overlord Lan Yu. He didn't expect that the two of them, who arrived one after the other, would actually be traveling the same way.
But he didn't say much, and chatted with a normal expression. Originally there were three people, but now there are five people. The atmosphere in the hall is getting more and more heated. Xu Yang wanted to ask the Overlord Lan Yu about the reason for the call, but the Overlord Lan Yu kept evading the question and kept saying "wait a little longer".
This continued until all nine tables in the hall were occupied, with nine overlord-level warriors sitting in total!
When Overlord Lan Yu saw that most people had arrived, he stood up with a smile, holding up his wine glass and said, "Today, I was asked by someone to invite everyone here for a chat. I would like to apologize to everyone first."
As he spoke, Overlord Lan Yu raised his hand and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
Everyone nodded, waiting for Overlord Lan Yu's next words. "Then please come in, Lord." Overlord Lan Yu said with a smile, and everyone followed his gaze towards the entrance of the hall.
Xuan Bingzi frowned slightly, feeling unhappy. They were both the overlords of the universe, but they were still doing this as the finale? Who had more heads than the other? He still didn't believe that it was the Lord of the Universe who came down to discuss things with them.
Except for Xuan Bingzi, the other overlords present also showed their suspicion. We are all strong men of the same level. You invited everyone to come and discuss things, but now you are doing this. Who can be happy?
Da! Da! Da! Da! Da…
The sound of metal boots stepping on the ground rang out, and the footsteps came from far away. Each step seemed unusually steady and powerful, as if every step was stepping on everyone's nerves.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became sluggish. Even the overlords who were chatting and laughing before couldn't help but restrain their smiles at this moment, and their eyes were fixed on the figure that was about to appear.
As the sound got closer, a figure in black armor slowly walked into the hall. The armor was inlaid with an unknown metallic luster, which reflected a cold light under the dim light, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to this arrogant man behind the scenes.
It was a face with clear edges and corners, eyes as deep as the night sky, revealing a temperament of being detached from the world. He raised his head slightly, glanced around at everyone in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Overlord Lan Yu, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Brother Lan Yu, thank you very much." The voice of the Ba Jian Master was deep and magnetic. "Everyone, I am a little late. I hope you can forgive me."
Although everyone knew that this was an excuse, since they were given a way out, they just went along with it and didn't dwell on it any further.
Xu Yang was surprised. He had been in this world for quite some time and this was a rare character that appeared in the original novel.
I still remember that Luo Feng was swallowed into the Old Beast God Universe, where he met the Ba Jian Venerable who was trapped inside. At that time, Luo Feng relied on the domain treasures and the Jie Jia to force the Ba Jian Venerable to self-destruct.
At this time, Master Ba Jian was still many years away from being imprisoned, but he was not so angry as to draw his sword at the slightest disagreement. Instead, he exuded the calmness and magnanimity of a powerful person.
Reverend Ba Jian smiled as he walked along the path in the middle of the table, and came to the high platform of the main hall. He said with a smile, "Most people have arrived. Please sit down first. We need to discuss things, but we also need to fill our bellies."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand downwards, and then an extremely exquisite glass cup appeared on everyone's table. Flowing in it was a red liquid as thick as blood, and just a sniff of it made people feel ecstatic.
"This is the fine wine I begged from my ancestor. Let's drink it together today." Venerable Ba Jian glanced at both sides and then said with a smile.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to hear his words. Venerable Ba Jian came from a powerful clan, the Purple Cloud Clan. The only one he could call the ancestor was naturally the leader of the Purple Cloud Clan, the Purple Cloud Lord.
As the saying goes, those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage of others are short-handed.
After Master Ba Jian's interference, even Xuan Bingzi lost his temper. It was true that he came from the royal family of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast, but to be honest, he had never tasted the fine wines specially provided by the Lord of the Universe.
"I asked Brother Lan Yu to invite you all here today. I'm sure you all are confused now. But everyone knows that our Moros Pan-Star Region is the vanguard of the alliance, and we must fight a good battle. After the above discussions, it was decided that I will take the lead in forming a 'sharp knife team', whose members are all overlords of the universe." Venerable Ba Jian said these words.
When the people below heard this, they quickly put down the wine glasses that were brought to their mouths and looked at each other, as if they were communicating something with their eyes.
The Sharp Knife Squad, just from the name, suggests they are specialized in taking on tough tasks. They might just act as firefighters on the battlefield.
For a moment, the heated scene cooled down.
The Bajian Master was not annoyed. The divine sword on his back trembled slightly, and he dropped a bombshell: "As long as you join the Sharp Knife Team, the Alliance will provide at least two treasures for each member. They will be loaned out during the war, and once the war is over, the treasures will belong to the members."
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
Do not underestimate the poverty of the small and weak groups in the universe.
It is still in the early stage of the original universe, and the races are far from being as wealthy as the middle stage where Luo Feng is. In Luo Feng's time, a middle-level venerable of the human race could own several treasures, although they were ordinary treasures, they were still treasures!
Now, even for a super power like the peak tribe, generally at least a high-level venerable can possess a treasure. As for the overlords of the weak tribes gathered in the Hall of All Things today, most of them do not have a treasure!
For them, precious treasures are no longer useful. Only the top-level treasures can still be used, but they have no way to get the ultimate treasure.
You mean the original star?
Idle and weak tribes like them, which are independent of major superpowers and powerful tribes, cannot compete with those big forces at all. Every time the original star is opened, it is a fight between dragons and tigers. Even if they invite a few good friends to go together, it is often difficult to get big gains.
After all, any cosmic overlord with a deep background would first borrow a lot of attacking and defensive treasures from his tribe or force, and arm himself to the teeth before going to the primitive star. But these people, with so many treasures, were almost naked when they went there.
Every time I find myself being abused, I'm stuck in a vicious cycle.
Therefore, when everyone heard Master Ba Jian say that the Sharp Knife Squad could obtain a supply of treasures, most of the universe overlords sitting on both sides were in an uproar, and some people even couldn't help but whisper to the people next to them.
Especially when the war is over and the treasure belongs to them, this makes them most excited.
Isn't this what they want when they join big forces?
"Master Ba Jian! It's not that I don't believe what you say, but this matter is of great importance. Do you take it seriously?" An old man wearing a bamboo hat stood up and bowed slightly towards the podium and said.
This old man is a well-known lone killer in the universe. It is said that more than a dozen Venerables have died from his "Fatal Sword". Among those present, except for Venerable Ba Jian and Overlord Lan Yu, he is the most likely to possess the treasure.
"So it's the Overlord Jueming. Please take a seat, Brother Jueming. Even if you didn't mention this matter, I would have explained it briefly below." Venerable Ba Jian smiled, looking indifferent.
“To put it bluntly, ordinary treasures are good treasures for us, but in the eyes of those high and mighty in the alliance, what are they? You have to know that there are more than a dozen universe masters standing behind our Nine Realms Alliance. If one of them throws something at us, we will be starved to death.”
As Venerable Ba Jian spoke, he took down the magic sword behind him and stroked it gently. This was the magic sword treasure bestowed upon him by the Lord of Purple Cloud.
High-level treasure, Qingming!
