Chapter 323: Powerhouses (Fixed)
The Steller Dipper Blade Academy's Kryos frowned at the new price.
"Haha. If the White Dragon Overlord City has such confidence, then my EarthCore Continuum Academy will give you another push." The yellow-robed Elder showed a mischievous smile and said, "9,000,000. If your White Dragon Overlord City can get over that price, then we'll give up on the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll."
"9,000,000..."
A massive sigh exploded in the auction house. It's no wonder why these guys were hailed as the three strongest forces within a thousand miles of the Prime Draconis Ridge. To people like themselves, these prices like those meant nothing more but words.
They remembered that a year ago, a Pseudo-Deity Tier Technique had wound up in this auction house. Back then, it sold for about 10,000,000 Gold relic coins. And now, this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll will soon reach 10,000,000, and no one even knew how to use it.
"That god damned Drathar, old demon." Aetheron sent another vicious glare towards the old man and gnashed his teeth. Even though White Dragon Overlord City had some inside connections, 10,000,000 Gold relic coins wasn't cheap for them, either. But, if they wanted the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, then they had to match the price.
And Aetheron's father had already given the order — they were to get that Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll at any cost.
"10,000,000!"
Aetheron stood up and barked. The audience immediately sucked in a cold lungful of air. Did White Dragon Overlord City have to act as if their life depended on it? Why did they have to spend 10,000,000 Gold relic coins to buy an object that no one even knew how to use?
(
10,000,000 Gold relic coins should be worth half a year's revenue for White Dragon Overlord City, right?
"How generous." Michael also smacked his lips. He was surprised that White Dragon Overlord City was willing to hand over such wealth.
When Aetheron smashed the sky high price of 10,000,000 down. Even the Steller Dipper Blade Academy and the EarthCore Continuum Academy seemed to have their fires put out. This price was already at their limits. The most important thing was whether or not they could match White Dragon Overlord City's determination.
This made them realize that it was useless, even if they continued to compete at their limits.
Kairus stood on stage with his thin-eyed smile, watching the show play out. He waited briefly, until he was sure that no one else was willing to raise the price. Then, he raised the auction gavel, made the last three calls, and heavily brought down the gavel.
When the auction gavel landed, the crowd knew that this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll had landed in the hands of White Dragon Overlord City.
"Ah, ah. The Young City Lord has quite the resolution. I hope this Sacred dimensional relics really turns out to be a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics. Otherwise, you've really taken a huge loss this time." The Steller Dipper Blade Academy's Kryos stood up and turned to smile at Aetheron's party of two. Then, he led his own party straight out of the hall.
"Haha. It looks like White Dragon Overlord City has really paid with their blood. I hope my EarthCore Continuum Academy will be able to pick a few scraps out of the mess. I suppose we'll take our leave." The EarthCore Continuum Academy's yellow-robed old man gave Aetheron a squinty smile, waved, and led his party out.
Aetheron gave the evil-eye to their retreating backs and gnashed his teeth. "Be cocky all you want. There'll be a time when you will cry."
"Let's go."
Aelira rose, called to Tyrion and the others, and headed outside the hall. Behind them, Aetheron longed after that graceful and nimble figure of hers. He felt like there was a blazing fireball in his heart. This sweet-tempered and cute girl... would this flower pale and lose her color once he plunge himself inside her?
But, when his insatiable eyes landed on Aelira's lovely body, he suddenly sensed someone shoot a razor-sharp killing intent in his direction. He slightly turned his head and saw Tyrion, standing behind Aelira, staring back at him with unsympathetic eyes. That icy expression chilled his heart.
Aetheron started to feel rather uncomfortable under Tyrion's glare. His own expression dimmed, and the corner of this mouth lifted into a cruel smile. He lifted a hand and made a light slashing motion towards Tyrion's neck.
Tyrion saw the motion, but his expression was still apathetic. Then, he turned away. Completely ignored Aetheron.
Aetheron turned green when saw that Tyrion had completely disregarded his threat. He leaned his back and spoke to the grey-cloaked Elder in a dim voice, "Sir Quin, run a background check on those guys. I'd like to find out where this trash came from, for them to be daring enough to go against me inside this White Dragon Overlord City."
The grey-cloaked Elder gave a slight nod. Those strangers didn't look like a party of adventurers. Not only that, they were quite powerful. Indeed, he'd need to do some research on their origins, in order to be on the safe side.
Aetheron waved his sleeve and left the auction house through the opposite door. His expression was incomparably dark. He was going to make those guys understand just how stupid they were to provoke him within the walls of his White Dragon Overlord City.
...
The evening colors slowly advanced little by little, at last blanketing the enormous White Dragon Overlord City. But even though night was here, it couldn't suppress the liveliness of the city. The sounds of people bubbled up into the skies. Even from far away, others could still feel the flourishing city.
White Dragon Overlord City was especially lively today. The cause was the piece of news that'd recently been released from the auction house at noon. It was regarding the Overlord Sacred dimensional relics.
A Overlord Sacred dimensional relics.
Those few words alone were enough to redden the eyes of many. Everyone clearly understood the weight those words held.
Overlord, a name meant for the true experts of this Milky Way Planet. Only existences of that level could qualify to become the Lord of a Continent. Only people like them possess the qualifications to gain such authority.
Although Demonic Fighter experts were also very powerful, they were still a far cry from gaining control of an entire continent, or even making others worship them.
As for the Dimensional Treasuries left behind by Overlord level experts, those were, also, clearly incomparable to Demonic Fighter experts. If someone blindly stumbled upon a Overlord's inheritance, they'd gain god-like aid on their cultivation path. They would break away from the ordinary.
Half the reason for the Prime Draconis Ridge's fame was due to the White Dragon Overlord who had, once upon a time, fallen in this place.
People flocked here in droves in order to search for the Sacred dimensional relics that he'd left behind. But no one was able to find it in the past few hundred years. And, at long last, there was finally some news of this Overlord Sacred dimensional relics. It didn't matter how much of this news was actually true. It was enough to make a lot of eyes turn red.
The entire Prime Draconis Ridge would be shaken by this news.
...
White Dragon Overlord City, City Lord's Mansion
In the depths of the mansion, Aetheron and the grey-cloaked Elder stood in a dimly lit study room. There was a table before them, and behind it was a white-haired, middle-aged man. This man was currently fixing his eyes on the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll that was flickering with Genetic energy pressure.
"This Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll was left behind by the White Dragon Overlord. It seems like there wasn't any mistake with our intelligence." The middle-aged man said. He lightly smiled as he held onto the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll.
Hearing his words, Aetheron and the grey-cloaked Elder released lungs full of stale air.
"Father, this newly emerging Sacred dimensional relics should be the one left behind by the White Dragon Overlord, right?" Aetheron asked in low voice.
"That should be correct." The man who Aetheron had called "father" was Archon, White Dragon Overlord City's City Lord, of course. He was the overlord-like figure for the area within a thousand meters of the Prime Draconis Ridge.
"White Dragon Overlord. Did that old fart really think he could hide the Sacred dimensional relics forever? I built this White Dragon Overlord City and searched for decades, all the while waiting for this day." Archon laughed indifferently. A dense, cold, and brilliant flight flickered in his eyes.
"As long as we find thThe Steller Dipper Blade Academy's Kryos frowned at the new price.

"As long as we find that supreme treasure, our mission is complete. When that happens, we'll leave this damned place and go back."
"Father, the Steller Dipper Blade Academy and the EarthCore Continuum Academy have also sent their people over. Furthermore, once the news spreads, there might be reinforcements." said Aetheron.
