Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

On the day the Wanbaoge's once-every-twenty-years grand auction opened, Duanshan City was packed with people. Even the usually quiet suburbs were bustling with traffic, not to mention the usually prosperous city center.

The last one was already quite a spectacle. After twenty years of development, Wanbaoge has become even more famous, with branches in more than a dozen nearby continents.

That's why this auction was even more lively.

The area in front of the main hall of Wanbaoge, which was originally very spacious, was now packed with people.

VIPs are a little better off; they can go directly to the second floor. Regular customers can only go up through the main entrance to the lobby on the first floor.

Xu Qingzhou stood by the window on the top floor, looking down at the scene below, feeling a deep sense of melancholy.

"If it weren't for Xu Hao, the chosen one who could go to the Immortal Realm to purchase goods, it would have taken Wanbaoge at least two or three hundred years to develop to its current state, let alone twenty or thirty years."

Thanks to the development of Wanbaoge in recent years, the Xu family's income has increased significantly compared to before.

With ample resources and sufficient talent, the Xu family members naturally grew at a rapid pace.

Although, apart from the three prefecture lords, the Xu family only has Xu Qingzhou, a Saint King realm expert, they cannot be considered a hegemonic force at all.

However, in terms of overall combat strength below the Saint Realm, the Xu family absolutely crushes all the hegemonic forces in Cangzhou.

Once all the Xu family's prodigies break through to the Saint King Realm, and all the Hidden Dragon Guards break through to the Saint Realm, the Xu family will undoubtedly be the strongest force in Cangzhou.

At that time, even if the three holy lands and five demonic sects all come at us together, we can wipe them all out!

At this moment, the Third Elder knocked on the door and went in.

"Clan leader, all the forces have sent Saint King realm experts this time, and they have all arrived one after another."

Xu Qingzhou waved his hand casually, "You can receive them as you see fit."

They were just Saint Kings from some of the dominant forces in Cangzhou, completely unqualified to let Xu Qingzhou show his face.

If you have a good relationship with the Xu family, sending even one elder would be considered a great honor.

Don't be fooled by the seven elders of the Xu family; the strongest among them is only at the Integration Realm, and that's only achieved through the accumulation of massive resources.

Even Saint Realm experts from other forces treat them with utmost respect.

"Understood," the Third Elder said, turning to leave.

A short while later, Yin Xianhong walked in.

Xu Qingzhou pulled her into his arms and asked, "Just got back?"

A few years ago, she left Cangzhou again, just like before, to seek opportunities.

“Mm,” Yin Xianhong nodded gently.

If the powerful figures from various factions who had already arrived at Wanbaoge were to see this scene, they would be utterly astonished.

It's unbelievable that Yin Xianhong, one of the three masters of Shenque Mansion and a Saint King Realm expert, is leaning so obediently against Xu Qingzhou's chest!

Everyone knows that Xu Qingzhou has amazing talent and strong strength, but no one knew that he also has such ability in this aspect.

"It's not about the auction, is it?" Xu Qingzhou chuckled.

This auction is even more lively than the last one, with more powerful figures attending. If anyone causes trouble, the Xu family will need someone to step up and control the situation.

Yin Xianhong replied, "Not entirely."

"Is there anything else?" Xu Qingzhou pressed.

Yin Xianhong slowly said, "I haven't gone too far in the past few years. I've been staying in Shanzhou. Shanzhou was quite strong in ancient times, but like Cangzhou, it gradually declined after a series of changes."

"Recently, an ancient ruin has appeared in Shanzhou. It is a small world. It is said that the small world is a rare treasure that belonged to an Emperor Realm expert in ancient times. Whoever obtains his inheritance can take the small world away directly."

"Throughout history, this small world has appeared once every tens of thousands of years or so. Countless Saint Realm experts have entered to explore it, hoping to find the inheritance and take the small world away."

"Now that this small world is about to open, the powerful figures from all sides are eager to get started. I estimate that they will head straight there after attending the auction."

"When I came back this time, I wanted to ask Senior Brother Shen to come along so that we could look after each other."

Of course, besides Lord Shen Hongyi, she also wanted to invite the powerful and mysterious Elder Wang, but Elder Wang's whereabouts were too mysterious. Sometimes he would not return for decades, making it difficult to find him.

With Elder Wang by my side, I feel very reassured, since Elder Wang is one of the strongest among all the Saint King realm experts in Cangzhou.

Previously, in front of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, if it weren't for the combined efforts of Saint King Realm experts from eighteen different forces, they wouldn't have dared to force Elder Wang to leave.

Moreover, even with so many of them, they only forced Old Wang to leave; they didn't dare to easily fight him.

This demonstrates just how powerful and intimidating Old Wang is.

Xu Qingzhou suggested, "How about I come along too?"

“No need, Senior Brother Shen and I will be fine together,” Yin Xianhong replied.

Xu Qingzhou smiled calmly. He understood that Yin Xianhong felt his cultivation was insufficient and he wouldn't be able to help.

After all, twenty years ago, Xu Qingzhou was only at the Great Saint Realm. Even if he breaks through to the Saint King Realm now, how much improvement can he achieve?

Their competitors are at least at the fifth level of the Saint King realm.

Xu Qingzhou didn't explain, and directly opened the realm he had been sealing.

"boom!!"

A terrifying pressure swept through the entire Broken Mountain City in an instant, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although it lasted only a short time, the feeling of suffocation was unforgettable.

Wanbaoge, being the central point, perceived the situation most clearly.

The cultivators inside the Wanbao Pavilion were all trembling with fear.

"This...who is this Saint King level expert?!"

"It came from upstairs. It must be someone from the Xu family. Could it be one of the three lords of Shenque Prefecture?"

"It must be that the Xu family specially invited them back to take control of the situation."

"That was terrifying! For a split second, I thought I was going to die!"

"Who peed in my pants?!"

Although this oppressive force came out of nowhere, it was entirely reasonable in the eyes of some powerful individuals.

It's simply that Wanbaoge is giving a heads-up to the powerful figures from all sides: participating in the auction is fine, but don't have any ulterior motives.

The effect was indeed very good.

The once chaotic Wanbaoge became quiet after that, and the people who came lined up obediently to enter.

No matter how many times the servants at Wanbaoge had told them, it was no use. But after doing this, they all behaved themselves.

All the Saint Realm experts in Broken Mountain City were speculating about the source of that oppressive aura.

All I knew was that he was at the Saint King realm and close to the Xu family, so I assumed he was one of the three heads of the Divine Palace.

But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they never imagined that it was Xu Qingzhou, the head of the Xu family.

The only one who knew was Yin Xianhong, who was closest to her. At this moment, she also had her red lips parted, and her beautiful face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

"you you...."

She could barely understand why Xu Qingzhou's cultivation level improved so quickly before, since for a true genius, breaking through to the Saint Realm was as easy as eating and drinking.

But Xu Qingzhou's speed was still so fast after reaching the Saint Realm, which puzzled her greatly.

You should know that when they first got together, they each broke through to the next level through dual cultivation.

At that time, Xu Qingzhou broke through from the eighth level of the Great Saint Realm to the ninth level, while she broke through from the sixth level of the Saint King Realm to the seventh level.

How long has it been?

His cultivation level hadn't changed at all, yet he had actually broken through to the fifth level of the Saint King Realm?

Is that human being?

This isn't even human!!

Even Yin Xianhong, who had traveled to many continents and was very knowledgeable, was so surprised that she lost her composure and couldn't even speak.

Xu Qingzhou suddenly said with a mysterious expression, "That's right, as you probably noticed, I'm not an ordinary person. In fact, I'm a reincarnated immortal. Before my ascension, I didn't encounter any obstacles in my cultivation breakthroughs."

"Pfft..."

Yin Xianhong smiled and gently patted him.

A joke circumvented the issue.

However, even if Xu Qingzhou hadn't said that, Yin Xianhong wouldn't have asked any further questions, since everyone has their own secrets.

“I didn’t expect you to be at the fifth level of Saint King. In that case, we can definitely go together,” Yin Xianhong exclaimed.

The reason she sighed was because when she first met Xu Qingzhou, he was still traveling with his child in that poor, remote place in the Great Qi Dynasty, and his cultivation level was pitifully low.

I never imagined that he would grow to the point where he could fight alongside me.
