Supreme Lord of Towers

”The auction has finally ended.”

”That mysterious figure truly has wealth beyond measure; no one here can compete with him.”

”I just wonder who he really is. It would be such an honor for us to see him in person.” Many cultivators in the Celestial Treasure Palace sighed with emotion.

Although Ye Chen had bid three times, no one knew his true identity until now.

After all, his voice had been specially altered, making it impossible for even the Venerable Golden Core to recognize him.

”Who would have thought, I, a genius disciple of the Ziwei Sacred Land, couldn’t even come up with fifty billion ordinary spirit stones; it truly is a disgrace.” In the sixteenth golden VIP room, Shangguan Zitong’s lips curled in deep self-mockery, her expression extremely dejected.

This auction was a tremendous blow to her.

Though both were golden members of the Celestial Pill Pavilion, Venerable Changfeng possessed several trillion ordinary spirit stones in wealth.

And what about her?

Not even one percent of his fortune.

This, undeniably, was a great irony.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness, feeling she had failed.

”Miss, Venerable Changfeng has such wealth because he has cultivated for over a thousand years, while you are not even twenty. It’s normal that your financial prowess cannot compare to his, so you must not belittle yourself,” Black Butler, as if seeing through Shangguan Zitong’s thoughts, couldn’t help but comfort her.

”Yes! Miss, you are still young. With a bit more time, your wealth will certainly increase rapidly,” said Zhu’er.

”Indeed! With the auction over, we should now find Ye Chen. I hope he hasn’t offended that mysterious figure, or there will be trouble.” Shangguan Zitong’s expression became incomparably serious, her eyes filled with deep anxiety.

One must know, that mysterious figure could easily take out seven trillion and five hundred billion ordinary spirit stones.

It clearly shows how terrifying his background is.

If he takes offense at Ye Chen’s reckless actions, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even though Shangguan Zitong is a genius disciple of the Ziwei Sacred Land, she is not fully confident in protecting Ye Chen.

However, for Ye Chen, she is willing to risk it all today.

No matter who that mysterious figure is, she will do everything to protect Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen is her fiancé!

”Alas! Our useless son-in-law really only knows how to mess things up. When will he mature? Our Miss is truly unfortunate to have such a fiancé,” Zhu’er bit her teeth tightly, her eyes burning with anger, a look of disappointment.

She never expected Ye Chen to bring any help to her Miss.

Because he simply lacks that ability.

She only hoped Ye Chen wouldn’t cause trouble for her Miss.

But this guy just had to court trouble everywhere, truly disappointing.

”Ha! With the auction concluded, it’s time to punish Ye Chen, this waste.” In the twenty-fifth golden VIP room, Li Yuan’s lips twisted into a sinister smile, his eyes radiating a terrifying killing intent, making people shiver.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, he swiftly flew towards the auction stage in the center of the Celestial Treasure Palace.

”Look quickly, it’s Steward Li.”

”What does he intend to do?” Cultivators around were all surprised.

”Heh! Senior Brother Wang, it seems Ye Chen’s matter has a conclusion,” a disciple of Azure Sky Peak smirked beside Wang Tian, the corners of his mouth filled with mockery.

”Hmph! This insolent wretch dares to offend even that mysterious figure, who’s giving him the courage? Today, no one can save this waste,” Wang Tian said coldly, waiting to see a good show.

Like the others, he had always believed Ye Chen had been taken by the Divine Cauldron Alliance and the Celestial Pill Pavilion’s high levels.

And the reason Li Yuan appeared on the auction stage must be to announce the punishment for Ye Chen to everyone.

Only then could they completely calm the anger of that mysterious figure.

”Steward Li, what are you doing here?” Above the auction stage, Fairy Lan Ling’s brows slightly furrowed as she couldn’t help but ask Li Yuan.

According to auction rules, idlers are not allowed near the stage. Even a steward of the Divine Cauldron Alliance such as Li Yuan is not exempt.

If not for the auction being completely concluded, Li Yuan’s actions would certainly face severe punishment from the Divine Cauldron Alliance.

”Miss Lan Ling, Ye Chen, that useless, is utterly audacious, daring to offend the mysterious figure in the Purple Gold VIP room. Therefore, today he absolutely cannot leave like this, or it would be a blasphemy against that mysterious figure,” Li Yuan said coldly, his voice piercing like thunder, echoing through the entire Celestial Treasure Palace.

”Just as I suspected, Steward Li is here to punish Ye Chen.”

”Hmph! He is right, that mysterious figure is so dignified, how can someone like Ye Chen offend at will? If everyone were like him, where would the dignity of that mysterious figure go?” Many cultivators smirked coldly, eager for chaos.

”I see, someone as rude as Ye Chen indeed needs to be severely punished, or he won’t learn his lesson. Where is he now?” Fairy Lan Ling’s voice suddenly became as cold as ice, completely different from her earlier charming demeanor.

She was also aware of Ye Chen’s deliberate approach towards the Purple Gold Platform not long ago.

Such an action is undoubtedly a great provocation against that mysterious figure.

Therefore, today, their Divine Cauldron Alliance must thoroughly punish the reckless Ye Chen to satisfy that mysterious figure.

”Miss Lan Ling, I’ve inquired, and Ye Chen was not captured by our Divine Cauldron Alliance’s strongmen. He was most likely taken by the people of the Celestial Pill Pavilion, and I suspect they intend to protect him,” Li Yuan coldly smiled, his eyes filled with deep treachery.

He purposely voiced his suspicions in front of so many cultivators to pressure the higher-ups of the Celestial Pill Pavilion to obediently hand over Ye Chen.

Otherwise, if they angered that mysterious figure, the higher-ups of the Celestial Pill Pavilion would undoubtedly face dire consequences.

”Ha! Is that so? I would like to know, which higher-up from the Celestial Pill Pavilion dares to protect even the reckless Ye Chen?” Fairy Lan Ling couldn’t help but chuckle, her lips filled with thick disdain.
