Chapter 286 Black Abyss City's Covetousness!

You call this 'hiding'?

Given the current commotion, it's likely everyone in the entire Void Abyss knows about it.

The heavenly phenomenon is truly excessive.

Ye Yun said helplessly.

"Elder Zhao, will everyone in the Void Abyss come to compete for the treasure this time?"

Zhao Wangsheng, unaware of his relationship with Xing Wu, still said with a smile.

"More or less. Anyone with some strength has gone to join the fun."

"As expected, this is going to be troublesome..."

"Isn't it? With so many people competing, it will be quite difficult to obtain Xing Wu's treasure."

"..."

Ye Yun shook his head. He didn't care about competing for any treasure.

Rather, he was thinking about how to prevent others from getting it.

To think they would dare to snatch his wife's belongings! If his strength were sufficient, he would have simply swatted them all to death.

"Forget it, let's go ashore and see the situation first."

Ye Yun sighed and then had Delisa control the Divine River warship to slowly land in a large open space by the shore.

The cultivators nearby, upon seeing the colossal vessel descend, all showed expressions of shock.

"What a huge warship, is it a new research by some major power?"

"Don't you see the flag on it? It seems to be from Chaofeng Mountain and Hongchen Mountain."

"Good heavens, how did they achieve this? Even the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace doesn't have a warship of this magnitude."

"It's truly magnificent, I wish I could go up and ride it..."

...

Seeing that it was the warship of Chaofeng Mountain and Hongchen Mountain, most of the other cultivators at the Heavenly Domain Port no longer harbored any ulterior motives, merely coming to broaden their horizons.

As the warship landed, the cultivators who had come to seek refuge disembarked one after another.

For them, surviving encounters with void beasts beyond the Emperor rank was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

However, many had permanently lost consciousness and could only slowly await death.

"Then Elder Ye, I'll take them to the encampment for treatment first."

On the deck of the warship, Zhao Wangsheng sighed and said.

"After settling them, we'll rendezvous at the location of the heavenly phenomenon."

Although he was unharmed in the previous battle, some of the low-level cultivators he brought had all suffered injuries.

The best medical conditions required a visit to Hongchen Mountain's encampment in the Void Abyss.

Ye Yun agreed. His purpose was different anyway, and he didn't particularly want to act with them.

"Then we'll take our leave first, we'll head over there to check the situation."

Zhao Wangsheng nodded, then left with several injured members of his team.

Ye Yun, on the other hand, temporarily stored Lin Xueyan and the others in the disciple space, lest they be caught off guard by sudden danger.

Afterward, Ye Yun put away the conspicuous Divine River warship and quietly blended into the crowd.

As he traversed the Heavenly Domain Port, he noticed that there were more cultivators of lower cultivation levels here than in the Void Port, seeing many at the Saint realm.

Judging by their appearance, they were mostly natives of the Void Abyss who had been making a living here all along.

After browsing around, Ye Yun gathered some information, and one piece of news was particularly important.

"You're talking about that pillar of light? Sigh, it's been there for half a month already?"

A helpful passerby, whom Ye Yun had struck up a conversation with, shrugged.

"They say there's some treasure inside, but even now, those guys are still blocked by a seal."

However, when Ye Yun asked about the specific nature of the seal, the passerby was unsure.

But for him, this was good news, indicating that no one had yet managed to obtain the treasure left by Xing Wu.

Furthermore, by heading to the site of the phenomenon, he had a good chance of encountering Xing Wu, and possibly Gu Xiaoyue.

According to the news he'd heard earlier, the new master Gu Xiaoyue had taken was also intending to compete for Xing Wu's treasure, so she likely wouldn't be there either.

"Hmm... No big problem, let's go over there and see the situation..."

Ye Yun quickly made a decision, intending to wait at the entrance of the secret realm for Xing Wu's appearance.

Without delay, he headed straight for the place where the phenomenon was occurring.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, his movements were being reported to someone.

In Black Abyss City, within the City Lord's Mansion.

A man sat at the head of the table, raising an eyebrow at the person reporting to him.

"Oh? Is this news reliable? A colossal warship over a thousand meters long?"

"Absolutely! Several brothers at the Heavenly Domain Port saw it."

The subordinate grinned, "And from the descriptions of the people who disembarked, that warship is quite formidable."

"During an attack by a quasi-god level void beast, it remained undamaged."

"Even more so, it possesses powerful offensive capabilities. It's likely a very precious treasure!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's description, the man at the head of the table curled his lips.

"So powerful? Interesting..."

His name was Hei Ze, the City Lord, superior to ten thousand people in Black Abyss City!

They played a special role in the conflicts of the Void Abyss, from small-scale resource contention to inter-species warfare.

On the Heavenly Domain side, they sold war intelligence from the Void Abyss faction.

To the Void Abyss side, they resold all sorts of precious cultivation resources at high prices.

They could be said to be doing business on both sides, mutually benefiting, and over time, they became the local power brokers of the Void Abyss.

Of course, in addition to these businesses, as local power brokers, engaging in acts of robbery and murder was also quite normal.

For example, right now, he had his sights set on a thousand-meter warship that had appeared at the Heavenly Domain Port not long ago.

"Have you confirmed who disembarked from it?"

The subordinate nodded. "The people who disembarked were mainly from Hongchen Mountain and some scattered cultivators seeking refuge."

"As for that warship, it was eventually taken in by someone who seemed to be a cultivator from Chaofeng Mountain."

Hei Ze slowly inquired, "What is that cultivator's strength like?"

"His cultivation... seems to be Quasi True Immortal."

"That's decent strength."

Hei Ze pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Send three elders at the third level of True Immortal to find a deserted place and quietly eliminate him."

He said this casually, not bothering to consider who Ye Yun might be.

In fact, he had no need to care about the other party's identity. In a place where strength was everything,

even if he were a relative of an Emperor-tier powerhouse, as long as the job was done cleanly, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to them.

This was the Void Abyss, where any accident could truly happen without surprise.

"Yes, City Lord. I'll arrange it immediately!"

Just as the subordinate was about to leave, Hei Ze spoke again.

"One more thing, regarding the competition for the Night Sword Emperor's treasure this time, are there no one in the city going to join the fun?"

The subordinate shook his head and respectfully replied.

"Since the City Lord ordered that no one is strictly forbidden from competing for the treasure there, everyone in the city has been well-behaved."

Hearing this, Hei Ze nodded with satisfaction.

However, the subordinate seemed puzzled and asked.

"Speaking of which, City Lord, why are you so wary of Xing Wu? She's already died once, and now she has people from the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace watching her. She can't stir up any trouble, can she?"

Hei Ze glanced at him and said coldly.

"It's always better to be cautious. Directly competing for treasure with that monstrous woman could lead to utter destruction."

Although in the Heavenly Domain, the prestige of the Heavenly Dao Palace Lord was undoubtedly number one.

Yet, in the Void Abyss, the fame of the Night Sword Emperor Xing Wu was even greater.

Perhaps it was due to the peculiarity of the Void Abyss that the Heavenly Dao Palace Lord himself had once been badly defeated by a peak Xing Wu here, thus solidifying her supreme prestige.
