NOVPUBChapter 1059: Chapter 159: Grabbing the Neck Chapter 1059: Chapter 159: Grabbing the Neck Chu Yuan’s face was stern and cold, and the blood he shed evaporated to form a mist around him, a headless corpse beside him underscored the brutality that had just occurred.
“How is this possible!”
Sun Qian, who was grappling with Blood Rose, was thrown into utter disarray, almost getting his neck cleaved by a blade.
He was horrified to see that his right-hand subordinate had just been killed outright by this man.
The overpowering aura of divine authority emanating from him filled Sun Qian with dread.
“Attack, attack now!”
Sun Qian was going insane.
His subordinates, seeing Chi Zhong get cut down, were utterly routed, shedding their armor in panic.
“Li Zhen, you’re running away too!”
Sun Qian saw one man fleeing and almost spat blood. This was a Guest Elder he had brought in at great expense to oversee the South Seventh District, who had taken many favors from him and now fled without a second thought.
“It’s foolish not to run from an unbeatable foe.”
He was purely there to bolster Sun Qian’s presence; seeing even Chi Zhong dead, he was not about to stupidly sacrifice his life.
“You guys!”
More and more Guest Elders fled, and Sun Qian felt the bitter sting of isolation as he roared, “Aren’t the Sovereigns of South Eighth and South Ninth District going to act?”
“Hmph!”
Two mighty beings snorted coldly and withdrew.
Sun Qian was undoubtedly dead. He had lost his mind completely, and they weren’t going to wade into these muddy waters and risk their own lives.
If the standoff had drawn on, they might have intervened to snatch a share of the spoils.
Plunderers only value their interests.
“Sun Qian, you’re doomed!”
Blood Rose emerged victorious, and at this point, no one dared support Sun Qian.
The battle in South Seventh District gradually ceased, replaced by heaps of corpses left uncared for, discarded at will, including Sun Qian and Blood Rose after a bloody battle, both beheaded.
The forces belonging to Sun Qian were completely eradicated.
Chu Yuan hovered silently mid-air.
Many knew that Blood Rose had managed to cleanse the South Seventh District all because of this man; otherwise, she wouldn’t have possessed the strength to do so,
People from other districts didn’t dare approach, only watching from afar as Blood Rose’s forces cleaned up the battlefield and seized Sun Qian’s riches, green with envy.
“Take over South Seventh District.”
Chu Yuan used this bloody purge to uphold his dignity within the Holy City and also laid the foundation for the Divine Martial Dynasty to acquire resources there.
“South Seventh District has a new master.”
Onlookers within the Holy City sighed, Sun Qian’s one mistake had led to his complete downfall, decapitated and defeated, though they didn’t feel much else.
In the Plunderer’s Holy City, such cruelty was commonplace—fighting was routine, and exterminations happened often.
“We have obtained a great deal of resources this time.”
Ling Cheng counted the resources, his face showing joy. Sun Qian after all had ruled the South Seventh District for hundreds of years, amassing significant wealth.
“This is just South Seventh District, if we were to sweep the entire Holy City, we could probably give birth to several Supreme Gods in my empire, which is no small feat,”
Chu Yuan said nonchalantly.
Chu Yuan’s words may have sounded casual, but they sent shivers down Ling Cheng’s spine.
With such means at his disposal, he was surely capable of accomplishing it.
Furthermore, Chu Yuan did not immediately leave the Holy City; he intended to continue overseeing it for some time.
The disturbance caused by the South Seventh District gradually subsided, after all, there were thirty-six major districts in the Holy City, and South Seventh District was just another typical district, changing its overseer was nothing extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Chu Yuan didn’t establish any commercial outlets in the South Seventh District under the name of the Divine Martial Dynasty but continued using the name Blood Rose.
He wanted to create the impression that someone was backing the Blood Rose, but it was unclear which power was involved.
“Emperor, in half a month, the dominant leaders of the four major regions in the southeast, northwest will jointly host an auction. I’ve heard that there will be quite a few Divine Bloodstones up for auction.”
Ling Cheng said.
“Divine Bloodstone!” Chu Yuan’s eyes suddenly sparkled. “You don’t need to attend the auction of the Divine Bloodstones, I will send others to the auction.”
He had his own plans.
He organized some resources that could be used for the auction, including many elixirs he had concocted, and then quietly awaited the auction half a month later.
Because of the Divine Bloodstone auction, the Holy City became lively during this period.
It was known that the Divine Bloodstones contained a type of Heavenly Dao blood, which greatly aided cultivation. Even for a Supreme God, collecting a large number of Divine Bloodstones could promote the growth of their cultivation level.
After waiting half a month, the auction began, and Chu Yuan exchanged a large amount of resources for a few Divine Bloodstones.
“So many resources, countless wealth, all just for a few Divine Bloodstones. Whoever has the power and qualifications to mine in the Ancient Blood Mine, it’s massive wealth.”
Chu Yuan looked at the few Divine Bloodstones laid out in front of him, unexcited.
He was well aware that, in terms of value, the Divine Bloodstones were definitely not worth the resources he had spent.
However, without the power to mine them, this resource, tightly controlled by formidable forces, choked them completely, leaving them to be exploited by others.
“We need to keep up with the intelligence on the Ancient Blood Mine.”
Chu Yuan deeply understood that he should not be exploited like this, without controlling the means of production himself.
What could he possibly accomplish with these few Divine Bloodstones he had in hand?
To truly cultivate a large number of Sky War Bodies, the resources needed are vast.
“Ling Cheng, you stay in the Southern Seventh Region.”
After the auction ended, Chu Yuan summoned everyone and said, “Blood Rose, you return to the Dynasty with me.”
“I also want to see what your Dynasty looks like, Emperor.”
Blood Rose’s eyes sparkled.
She was very curious to see what kind of dynasty this Emperor had founded.
“The situation in Predator City is complicated, Ling Cheng, be careful in your actions here.” 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Chu Yuan warned.
This time he was returning to transform the resources in his hand into Sky War Body cultivating fluid, to train an elite army for the empire.
“I understand.”
Ling Cheng, who had already surrendered his Soul Origin, also knew he could only follow this Emperor wholeheartedly, as any indecision would lead to a very miserable death.
“Alright, you may all leave now.”
Chu Yuan waved them away.
“Your Majesty, do you know of the Great Abyss of Burial?”
Blood Rose didn’t leave, and looking at the Emperor in front of her, suddenly spoke up again.
“The Great Abyss of Burial, I have indeed heard of it; it appeared in the Great War that shattered the heavens, oh? Why do you bring it up suddenly?”
Chu Yuan asked.
“It has a great use. In fact, I’ve explored the Great Abyss of Burial several times over these thousands of years. There was an extremely ancient battlefield there, said to contain the divine body of a Supreme God, but despite many explorations, I had to retreat due to insufficient strength.”
Blood Rose said, “The authenticity of this information is hard to verify, but if it’s true, finding it would allow my cultivation to break through to the Supreme Realm, and you, Your Majesty, would also gain tremendous benefits. It would be mutually beneficial.”
“Supreme Realm.”
Chu Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
If Blood Rose could become Supreme, it would indeed be a great help to him.
“The Great Abyss of Burial is not near the Holy City. I will go with you, and this matter will be dealt with after I return to the Dynasty.”
As Chu Yuan spoke, a rumbling noise came from outside, causing him to shout, “Who’s there!”
