104: A heaven-defying treasure from the fairyland?

Without much hesitation, Nie Keke handed over the profits from the auction of the weapons to her grandfather.

Originally, Lord Xiaoyao was going to refuse, perhaps because he felt embarrassed?

However, in the end, he was convinced by Nie Keke.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Nie Keke prepared to start refining weapons again, refining even more powerful weapons.

However, she was quickly persuaded by Tang Tian and Lord Xiaoyao to stop refining.

"Why?"

Nie Keke asked, looking at the two of them in confusion.

"You should understand the saying 'too much of a good thing,' right?"

"If you suddenly bring out too many weapons, and good ones at that, it might put Lord Xiaoyaos Estate in a precarious position."

"Besides, your gains from this auction are already very astonishing."

Tang Tian explained slowly, looking at Nie Keke with a chuckle.

"Exactly!"

Beside him, Lord Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.

"Alright then!"

After a moment of hesitation, Nie Keke nodded.

Originally, she had wanted to try refining even more powerful weapons!

But now that both of them had said so, she naturally had no reason to continue.

After chatting for a while longer, Tang Tian and Nie Keke left Lord Xiaoyaos Estate and began aimlessly wandering around the Imperial City.

Along the way, wherever they went, the rate of people turning their heads to look was practically one hundred percent.

There was no other way; the main reason was that the two of them were now famous figures in the Imperial City.

Tang Tian?

This fellow had killed a Saint from the Demon Clan First Auction House and escaped unscathed.

How could he not attract attention?

Nie Keke?

Bringing out more than ten top-grade Heaven-Grade weapons at once caused quite a sensation.

Many Cultivators around them were discussing animatedly as they watched the two of them walk away.

Tang Tian paid no attention to the discussions around them.

He was already used to it!

Similarly, Nie Keke acted as if she hadn't heard anything.

Aside from her grandfather and Tang Tian, she simply didn't care about what others thought of her.

Why should she care?

Just as the two were about to head back, a group of people blocked their path.

Leading them was a gorgeously dressed, elegant Demon Race young woman.

Behind her followed a group of fully armed guards.

"Tang Tian, Nie Keke."

"This Princess has a question for you, and I hope you answer truthfully."

The Demon Race young woman said to Tang Tian and Nie Keke in an undeniable tone.

"Who are you?"

"Why should I answer your question?"

Tang Tian sneered, curling his lips.

Tang Tian had always disliked these high and mighty, self-important Cultivators.

As for the other party's identity?

He paid even less attention to it!

Someone from the Demon Clan Royal Family Branch?

A Princess?

Isn't this Ke Ke's family's enemy?

"You..."

Hearing Tang Tian's words, the Demon Race young woman trembled with anger.

The Cultivators around them also secretly gasped in astonishment.

It was rumored that Tang Tian was incredibly bold; it seemed to be true!

He didn't even give the Demon Race's Princess Your Highness any Face?

He really was a madman!

However, when they thought of Tang Tian's powerful performance at the Demon Clan First Auction House, the surrounding Cultivators felt relieved.

This guy was a madman to begin with!

"You what? Get out of the way!"

Tang Tian rolled his eyes and said indifferently.

Beside Tang Tian, Nie Keke was amused by Tang Tian's behavior.

However, she wasn't surprised at all.

She knew exactly what kind of personality Tang Tian had.

To put it bluntly, this guy was soft-hearted but wouldn't yield to force.

If the person in front of him had spoken nicely, Tang Tian would absolutely not have this attitude.

It was a pity; why did she have to act so high and mighty?

Did she really think everyone would indulge her?

How ridiculous!

"Tang Tian, do you know who I am? Hmm?"

"Scram! I don't care who you are!"

"..."

Tang Tian's words made the Demon Race young woman tremble with anger.

The people behind her immediately surrounded Tang Tian and Nie Keke.

Seeing this, Tang Tian and Nie Keke both laughed.

A group of Dongtian Realm guards?

The two of them were really curious where they got the courage to surround them.

Heh heh!

"Now can you answer this Princess's question?"

"I, Princess Ten, really don't believe it!"

"As the Demon Race Tenth Princess, who would dare to refuse me?"

The Demon Race young woman snorted coldly, looking at Tang Tian with ill intent.

"Scram!"

However, unfortunately, Princess Ten just happened to encounter Tang Tian.

Tang Tian said expressionlessly, looking at Princess Ten.

"You..."

Princess Ten, whose Face was already very ugly, now had an even uglier expression.

If looks could kill, Tang Tian would probably have been torn to shreds by now.

"My brother, the Sixth Prince, and my sister, the Ninth Princess, were killed by you, weren't they?"

Princess Ten took a deep breath and asked abruptly.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

"If I remember correctly, killing is not forbidden in the Trial Grounds, is it?"

"What? Only your The Royal Family is allowed to kill others, but others aren't allowed to kill you?"

Nie Keke said calmly, looking at Princess Ten.

Her right hand was already on the hilt of her sword.

Clearly, she was preparing to make a move.

Hearing Nie Keke's words, Princess Ten was speechless.

She opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute Nie Keke.

Because Nie Keke was only stating the facts.

The Royal Family Prodigy Trial had only one rule.

Life and death are determined by fate!

If not for this, why were only these two the ones who came out alive this time, and why did none of the various forces of the Royal Family bother Lord Xiaoyaos Estate?

However, on the other hand, Princess Ten was also very clear in her heart.

There was also a very important reason.

That was, Lord Xiaoyao was truly incredibly powerful.

Provoking Lord Xiaoyaos Estate?

Not everyone had that courage.

"If you don't move aside, I'll have to send you on your way."

Seeing that Princess Ten didn't speak, Nie Keke said again.

Although unwilling, Princess Ten still ordered her subordinates to clear a path.

She hadn't forgotten her Imperial Father's words: there was no need to conflict with Lord Xiaoyaos Estate for now.

Under the gaze of countless people, Tang Tian and Nie Keke swaggered away.

Actually, there was a reason why Tang Tian didn't make a move.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Lord Xiaoyao!

Because he knew that Lord Xiaoyao didn't want to fall out with the The Royal Family so quickly.

If he killed Princess Ten, wouldn't that give the Demon Race Emperor an excuse?

An excuse to act against Lord Xiaoyao!

This was not what Tang Tian wanted.

Similarly, Nie Keke also considered these issues, which is why she chose not to act.

Looking at their receding figures, Princess Ten's eyes could almost spit fire.

She really hadn't expected that even Nie Keke, the little Princess who had always kept a low profile in Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, was now so strong.

Nie Keke was a little Demoness?

That was only what those whose forces were inferior to Lord Xiaoyao's would think.

The reason Princess Ten ran out was that she thought Nie Keke would be easy to manipulate.

But she hadn't expected... "You two just wait!"

Princess Ten sneered, staring at their receding figures.

Not long after, she returned to the Imperial Palace and found her Imperial Father to talk about this matter.

"Oh, you!"

Nie Feng looked at Princess Ten with indulgence, a helpless expression on his Face.

"Imperial Father, what's wrong with me?"

"I just want to seek justice for Sixth Imperial Brother and Ninth Sister!"

Princess Ten blinked, saying with an innocent expression.

Nie Feng looked deeply at Princess Ten and fell silent.

Seek justice?

Revenge?

He wanted to too!

However, he had reason to believe that if he used this as an excuse to act against Tang Tian and the others,

it would definitely cause a strong backlash from the various branches of the Demon Clan Royal Family.

From ancient times until now, how many Prodigies from the various Royal Family branches had died in the Trial Grounds?

On the contrary, their The Royal Family was the one with the smallest losses.

Therefore, for the sake of the bigger picture, he really couldn't do that.

Seeing that her Imperial Father had no intention of continuing the topic, Princess Ten wisely chose to change the subject.

"Imperial Father, why do I feel that Tang Tian is unusually strong?"

"What is his background?"

Princess Ten asked, changing the topic in confusion.

Since he could become an honored guest of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, this guy must not be simple, right?

"I don't know either."

Nie Feng shook his head and sighed.

"The New Emperor Selection will begin soon; you should also prepare well."

Nie Feng waved his hand and added.

"Understood."

Princess Ten said with her head down, but she was secretly smiling bitterly in her heart.

New Emperor Selection?

What did it have to do with her?

With her Yin Yang Realm first-level strength, she probably wouldn't even be worth a glance, right?

After chatting for a long while, Princess Ten took her leave.

Not long after she left, Nie Wuwei arrived at the Imperial Palace.

"Imperial Brother, the Demon Clan First Auction House has agreed to cooperate with us."

"However, their appetite is not just ordinarily big."

Nie Wuwei said to Nie Feng, getting straight to the point.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Nie Feng nodded noncommittally, his Face expressionless.

In reality, he had already guessed that it would be like this.

How could those fellows from the Demon Clan First Auction House easily cooperate with the The Royal Family?

They were famously unwilling to act without seeing a benefit first!

If he didn't have enough confidence, he would have annexed them long ago.

"After eliminating Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, they hope that their people will become the new Lord Xiaoyao and enjoy equal rights."

Nie Wuwei said slowly, taking a deep breath.

"Interesting!"

Nie Feng sneered, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Eliminate Lord Xiaoyaos Estate and then Cultivate a new Lord Xiaoyao?

What a joke?

The reason he wanted to get rid of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate wasn't because Lord Xiaoyao had too much power and too many merits?

Wasn't it because Lord Xiaoyao's achievements overshadowed the ruler?

But now, the Demon Clan First Auction House was offering such a Prodigy?

Just thinking about it made him feel very displeased.

Seeing Nie Feng's reaction, Nie Wuwei felt no surprise at all.

In fact, he had already guessed it would be like this.

One could only say that that scoundrel from the Demon Clan First Auction House was a bit too presumptuous.

And also, a bit too greedy.

Meanwhile, after Tang Tian returned to Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, he started chatting with Nie Keke.

"What's special about the Demon Race?"

"There's really quite a lot."

"Like the Secret Realm where we participated in the Trial Grounds before, and the several notoriously dangerous forbidden areas, and deep within the Demon Race Royal Palace..."

"What? Why are you suddenly asking about these things?"

Nie Keke asked slowly, staring intently into Tang Tian's eyes.

"It's nothing, really. I just feel that there might be some incredible treasure here in the Demon Race."

Tang Tian chuckled, not intending to hide anything.

"Treasure?"

Nie Keke was slightly startled, a look of surprise on her Face.

She knew how high Tang Tian's standards were.

Would a treasure that caught his eye be an ordinary item?

One had to know, during their previous training, he didn't even spare a glance for many treasures.

He didn't even feel the slightest bit of heartache when the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was annihilated.

So?

What kind of treasure could he be talking about?

Nie Keke was genuinely very curious about this.

"That's right!"

"However, I don't know what it specifically is."

Tang Tian nodded with a light laugh, spreading his hands.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Nie Keke couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

He didn't know what it was either?

Was this guy sure he wasn't joking?

Suddenly, Nie Keke didn't quite know what to say.

"Then why do you think the Demon Race has some powerful treasure?"

Nie Keke asked curiously, looking at Tang Tian with suspicion.

"It's simple!"

"Don't you think the Bloodline Power of your Demon Clan Royal Family is a bit unbelievably strong?"

"You know, Cultivators of other races on the other side of the Endless Continent, if they can enter the Nirvana Realm before the age of twenty, they are considered a Peerless Prodigy."

"But your Demon Clan Royal Family members are basically all around the Yin Yang Realm."

Tang Tian took a sip of wine and said leisurely.

"This..."

Tang Tian's words left Nie Keke with nothing to refute.

Thinking about it carefully, it really seemed to be the case.

"Speaking of which, in our territory, it seems that besides the Demon Clan Royal Family, the strongest among other Demon Race Prodigies, and even those Demonic Beasts and other races, are also in the Nirvana Realm before the age of twenty."

After a long silence, Nie Keke slowly said.

After speaking, a look of uncertainty appeared in her eyes.

Could it be?

Does the Demon Race really have some incredible treasure?

Before, she had thought it was simply because their Demon Clan Royal Family Bloodline was pure!

Now it seems, that might not be the case at all!

Judging by Tang Tian's tone, was it because of some treasure that caused changes in the Bloodline of the various branches of the Demon Clan Royal Family?

Just as the two were chatting, Lord Xiaoyao appeared before them.

"Our Demon Clan Royal Family does indeed possess a Heaven-Defying treasure."

Lord Xiaoyao said with a chuckle, looking at the two.

"However, no one has ever been able to take it away."

"Furthermore, because of this treasure, the The Royal Family and even the various branches of the Royal Family have lost many top-tier powerhouses."

Lord Xiaoyao then said with a complex expression.

Lord Xiaoyao's words left both Tang Tian and Nie Keke stunned.

This?

Unconsciously, both of them looked at Lord Xiaoyao with curiosity.

They both wanted to know what was going on.

Seeing their curious gazes, Lord Xiaoyao explained with a chuckle.

Soon, Tang Tian and the other understood what was going on.

So, there was a Heaven-Defying treasure underground here in the Demon Race Imperial City?

It was constantly affecting the entire Imperial City?

As long as one lived in the Imperial City for a long time, this treasure had a high probability of invisibly stimulating the Demon Race's Bloodline Power?

It was also because of this that, within the Imperial City, apart from the The Royal Family, most of the people were from the various Royal Family branches.

There were very few people from outside the Royal Family.

Since the establishment of the Imperial City, this Heaven-Defying treasure had always existed?

During this time, countless powerhouses paid the price of their lives to take this treasure away?

Even supreme powerhouses at the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm of the Nine Heavens could not escape?

"This is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Nie Keke exclaimed, recovering from her shock.

"Why didn't I know about the existence of this Heaven-Defying treasure?"

Then, she looked at her grandfather with some confusion.

"This is not exaggerated at all, because it is the truth."

"As for why you didn't know, that's also normal."

"Because without the strength of the Great Emperor Realm, it's almost impossible to sense where that treasure is."

"Moreover, the various forces and some top-tier powerhouses have also reached a consensus not to let the news of this treasure leak out. If it were to attract some top-tier existences from outside to take action, that would not be good."

"As long as this treasure is in the Imperial City, everyone benefits."

"So..."

Lord Xiaoyao explained with a chuckle, looking at his beloved granddaughter.

Lord Xiaoyao's words made both Tang Tian and Nie Keke unconsciously show expressions of sudden realization.

So that's how it is!

Upon learning that the treasure was beneath the Imperial Palace, Tang Tian and Nie Keke were stunned again.

At this moment, they both seemed to somewhat understand why the The Royal Family had always been able to have the New Emperor come from their lineage.

So, besides various methods, they were also the biggest beneficiaries of this Heaven-Defying treasure?

At the same time, Tang Tian unconsciously pondered a question.

Should he find time to investigate it thoroughly?

He was genuinely very interested in this Heaven-Defying treasure of the Demon Race.

Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Lord Xiaoyao could easily guess what Tang Tian was thinking.

However, the old man had no intention of dissuading him.

Because there was simply no need.

It was simple: without the strength of the Great Emperor Realm, one simply couldn't get close to the underground area of the Imperial Palace.

What was there to worry about?

After chatting for a while longer, Lord Xiaoyao left.

Nie Keke, that girl, also began her Cultivation.

Tang Tian, on the other hand, became bored.

The people of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate were already used to this.

Had this guy ever Cultivated?

Actually, this couldn't be blamed on Tang Tian.

Who made the mysterious Cultivation Technique he Cultivated so special?

Moreover, even if he didn't Cultivate now, both Cultivation Techniques were constantly running on their own.

Naturally, he had no need to Cultivate.

"Hmm?"

Tang Tian was immediately stunned when he looked inward towards his Dantian.

Yiyi, this little one, her aura was becoming increasingly terrifying now?

It seemed her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds during this period!

Also, the aura of the Mysterious Purple Pearl and the Peerless Evil Sword seemed to have become even more mysterious and astonishing?

In addition, the two Ancient Characters had also undergone some inexplicable transformation?

The Devouring Fire, after devouring two types of heavenly fire, also seemed to be transforming?

If it were just like this, Tang Tian wouldn't have been so surprised.

The key was that a cycle had formed between them?

Divided into two streams of energy, one flew towards Yiyi, and one entered all corners of his body.

The energy entering his body was constantly tempering his entire being?

His meridians, flesh, blood, and Soul were also continuously being tempered?

Even the Dantian capacity had expanded by an unknown number of times... What exactly was going on?

Tang Tian was very puzzled by this.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much; after all, it was a good thing, so what was there to be conflicted about?

Moreover, he knew very well in his heart.

This was absolutely related to Luo Yiyi.

Tang Tian was becoming increasingly curious about Luo Yiyi's origins.

As Tang Tian was pondering these things, Taotie, located in the small Secret Realm within the Emperor Clan Tang Family Holy Land, finally woke up slowly.

"I've already told Master, I just don't know if he can find that mysterious treasure?"

Taotie said slowly, looking at the Big Black Dog.

At this moment, it still felt a sense of lingering fear.

Indeed!

With its current strength, cross-plane communication was still very strenuous.

If it hadn't prepared in advance, it probably would have failed miserably already, right?

"It should be fine, right?"

"Brother Tian's luck has always been very good."

After a moment of hesitation, the Big Black Dog said with some uncertainty.

"Besides, isn't that one there? Maybe she also noticed something amiss?"

Then, the Big Black Dog added.

Clearly, it was referring to Luo Yiyi.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Making me take this risk?"

Taotie glared at the Big Black Dog and said grumpily.

"I didn't think of it earlier either, did I?"

"You also forgot about that one, didn't you?"

The Big Black Dog pouted and said righteously.

The Big Black Dog's words left Taotie speechless for a moment.

Then, they tacitly changed the subject.

"You say, could that treasure be from the Immortal Realm Demon Clan Royal Family?"

Suddenly, Taotie asked thoughtfully.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Even if it's not, it's pretty close."

"Otherwise, why would the Demon Clan Royal Family here in the Endless Continent make us feel danger?"

"Only their ancestral treasures from the Immortal Realm could make us feel danger."

The Big Black Dog rolled its eyes and said grumpily.

"If that's truly the case, then it's a bit strange."

"If so, why wouldn't the Immortal Realm Demon Clan Royal Family come looking for this treasure?"

"Or is it that they did it on purpose? Are they plotting something?"

Taotie frowned, unable to help but let its imagination run wild.

Taotie's words made the Big Black Dog a bit slow to react.

Thinking about it carefully, it also felt that Taotie's words had some truth to them.

Involuntarily, the Big Black Dog and Taotie exchanged glances.

They both saw the light of curiosity in each other's eyes.

Without exception, the same thought emerged in both their hearts.

They both hoped that Tang Tian could find that treasure!

They both wanted to see it for themselves!
