Chapter 1806: Celestial Lapis City

During the dungeon raid, someone suddenly arrived—murdering for treasure isn’t uncommon.

Especially when this person approached them silently…

The four looked at him together, a man, average height, a bit thin, pale skin, ordinary appearance, but a clean demeanor, cultivation level only at Cloud Ascendant.

The threat level is zero.

The four locked onto his Qi Mechanism and didn’t care much.

Meanwhile, Sui Yi just emerged from the water and, coincidentally encountering this group, initially planned to casually deal with the big spider but saw someone had already taken action.

She recognized him at first glance; he was from Celestial Lapis City.

Starfall Level, his cultivation isn’t low.

Moreover, his face seemed vaguely familiar, wasn’t he the former deputy under Qi Dao of Celestial Lapis City? After the Dragon Tomb incident, she decided to let Celestial Lapis City off, and this person survived.

Sui Yi’s thought shifted, her hand swept across her waist, hanging a Blood Stele she casually took from a previously killed Starfall General.

Xiu Yuanwu also coincidentally encountered the situation, intending to save lives while also capturing a frenzied Blood Spider leader, he made his move…

Indeed, this deputy’s strength was remarkable, at the Fifth Level of Starfall Level, quickly killing the spider.

While dealing with the corpse, his gaze swept over these people…

The four were ordinary, yet he found Sui Yi intriguing.

The four were timid and respectful, but this person…

Xiu Yuanwu casually dealt with the four and walked towards Sui Yi.

“Are you from the Outer Domain Battlefield?”

“Yes.”

“I see you’re just Cloud Ascendant level, yet a Lieutenant General, you must be quite brave in battle; I highly admire warriors who fight on the battlefield. Brother, join me for a drink?”

Sui Yi smiled.

Turned and went with Xiu Yuanwu to a tavern in a small tribe inside Liubo Interior.

Being scholarly by nature, even when Sui Yi spoke little, she could evoke a desire to converse even in cold-hearted people like Ximen Chui Xue. Now, if she wanted to probe for something, it wouldn’t take long for the cunning Xiu Yuanwu to consider her a close ally, answering all her queries without reserve.

“So Brother Ji missed it due to closed-door cultivation. Saying so, it was a great fortune for our Human Race to have a mysterious powerful figure assist us, known as Sacrificial Wine… After the battle ended, apart from some stationed regular troops, the powerful figures returned to our Human Race… But recently, there’s also good news within the Human Race.”

“Good news?” Sui Yi raised an eyebrow, “Many people left the battlefield, I thought another war had emerged somewhere, but it’s due to good news?”

“Of course it’s good news… Imperial Court Baili Imperial Clan’s Princess Baili Liuyuan is seeking a consort.”

Seeking a consort…?

Sui Yi was taken aback; she thought it might be a secret realm opening or some rare treasure appearing, but it turned out to be the princess seeking a consort!

“Yes, Baili Liuyuan is the most beautiful and favored princess of our Baili Imperial Clan… Initially, it was heard she would marry someone from the Three Realms Unity Four Cities, but for some unknown reason, it became seeking a consort, and the scope expanded to the entire Human Race. Accompanying the candidates from the Four Cities to participate in the selection… Maybe it’s to garner popularity among the cultivating masses of the Human Race.”

The Baili Imperial Clan, after all, isn’t the most orthodox Imperial Family of the Human Race, it’s merely Baili drawing a sword in absence of the royal surname.

The reason they have a foothold in the Human Race is because Supreme Yun guards the Imperial Court, but the Baili Imperial Clan always feels that once Supreme Yun changes his stance, they’ll be like a legless featherless bird, collapsing in an instant.

Therefore, the Baili Imperial Clan has always dedicated itself to garnering the support of strong figures within the Human Race.

This truth was naturally something Sui Yi could grasp, and Xiu Yuanwu, although he didn’t explicitly state it, implied it.

“It’s said that Baili Liuyuan is a renowned beauty in our Human Race… Given her royal family background, upon marrying, she can ascend directly to Dragon Gate, with endless resources, and could use the Xi Emperor’s Secret Realm within the Imperial Court exclusive to the royal family for cultivation… Thus how can the cultivators of the world remain disinterested…”

Xiu Yuanwu sighed deeply, but then heard Sui Yi ask: “So, are you one of the candidates competing for the position of Prince Consort from Celestial Lapis City?”

Xiu Yuanwu immediately gestured in dismissal, quite embarrassed, “I wouldn’t dare… Our Celestial Lapis City is replete with elites, how could it be my turn… Plus, I’m only Starfall level, matching the princess requires Heavenly Venerate level… Even our City Lord’s brother Lord Yu Xuan wouldn’t do, though there’s mutual understanding among insiders, waiting for other cultivators, likely Cloud Ascendant or Starfall level, and Brother Ji don’t be fooled by the many people in Liubo now; within a month, most will go to the Imperial Court.”

“Hm? Even if seeking a consort is a grand event for the Human Race, it wouldn’t cause so many people to go there… At least the ladies shouldn’t be so interested.”
