Chapter 0108: The Temptation of Joining

The World Alliance!
When the Demon Princess saw that it was someone from the World Alliance, her pretty face furrowed slightly. Yet, though the World Alliance was mysterious and powerful, it wasn’t something that could make the demons fear it—especially given the other party’s tone and expression, which angered Demon Princess Anlei.
With a cold snort, the Demon Princess was about to raise the price to 11 million when, suddenly, a Demon General sitting next to her seemed to realize the other party’s identity. His expression changed, and he quietly spoke up to stop her, saying, “Princess, that person is not easy to deal with. Let’s give up.”
Not easy to deal with? Give up? Demon Princess Anlei turned back in shock, looking at the Demon General who had come with her. The general nodded firmly, his expression serious.
After confirming this, Demon Princess Anlei took a deep breath. Now, she understood what the other party meant.
She glanced at the young man in suspicion, then fell silent. She had guessed his identity as well. Still, she couldn’t believe that this auction could attract such a person!
Many powerful figures at the auction—family heads, leaders, and commanders—also guessed the young man’s identity. Everyone’s expression changed drastically. No matter who they were, they looked at him with awe, even fear.
On the auction stage, Bogge also realized his identity and was shocked. He then glanced at Huang Long, but seeing the young master’s calm expression, he felt somewhat reassured.
“Please continue the auction. If no one offers a higher price, this space ring should belong to me,” said the mysterious young man calmly. Influenced by his presence, many powerful figures present nodded firmly.
Bogge signaled Huang Long. After seeing him nod, he raised the hammer and struck it. This time, without any surprises, the space ring was bought by the mysterious young man for 10 million gold coins.
When the space ring was handed to him, the mysterious young man picked it up and muttered to himself, “It’s been over two thousand years. I never thought a younger generation could create such a space ring!” Then, he looked at Huang Long’s seat with admiration.
He had come just casually this time, but unexpectedly, he had a great surprise.
After the auction of the space ring, the auction came to an end. Everyone sighed. Although most of the factions had come just to join in the fun and didn’t buy anything, they still felt it was worth it, because this auction would stay with them for a lifetime.

A person’s life is neither long nor short; there aren’t many things that can truly imprint themselves in their memory. But the magic sword, the Soul-Purifying Pill, and the magic space ring at today’s auction will all be deeply etched in their minds. Just as everyone thought it was time to leave, Bogue at the auction stage suddenly spoke up, “Ladies and gentlemen!” Bogue’s words made everyone settle down again. Looking at his expression, they wondered if there might be a fourth item up for auction. The mysterious young man sitting in his seat also showed great interest. “Our young master wants to recruit guardians for the Holy Land to protect the Huang family, and each of you will receive one of the space rings that were just auctioned!” Bogue’s words caused a huge stir. What?! Guardians of the Holy Land! Each of them will get a space ring from the auction?! Initially, those who heard the first part wanted to laugh, but they couldn’t laugh anymore upon hearing the second part. Almost instantly, everyone was stunned before erupting into excitement. Space rings—what an irresistible temptation! Many of the solitary powerful warriors from the Holy Land present also looked hesitant. The temptation of space rings was great, but they preferred not to lose their freedom, even though their role was merely to protect the Huang family rather than act as enforcers. “The duration is five years!” But when Bogue slowly uttered these words, the hesitant warriors’ eyes lit up. “Every month, the young master will also grant each of you a pill no less powerful than the Soul-Purifying Pill to aid your cultivation!” Bogue continued. What! A pill no less powerful than the Soul-Purifying Pill every month?! At this point, those powerful warriors’ eyes burned with enthusiasm, and even the strong figures from various major factions changed their expressions, especially those like Red-Clothed Grand Master Keel, whose faces turned grim. “Of course, each of you will also have a weapon more powerful than the magic sword that was auctioned earlier!” Bogue added further to their excitement. A weapon more powerful than the magic sword from the auction?! Whoa! By now, almost everyone’s eyes were filled with fervor. Space rings, Soul-Purifying Pills, magic swords—these three items were the dreams of everyone on the Hengyuan Continent! They could be considered “miracles” of the Hengyuan Continent! And now, by serving as guardians for five years, one could possess all three! Those powerful warriors from the Holy Land breathed unevenly, their faces turning red. Huang Long, sensing the reactions of the many powerful warriors in the arena, was satisfied—this was indeed the ultimate goal of his auction.

Five years—almost a mere moment of cultivation for those powerful beings in the Sacred Realm. Yet in just five years, they could obtain these three things, and even take medicinal pills no less powerful than the Soul-Purifying Pill every month. Huang Long believed few could resist such temptation.

Reaching the Sacred Realm meant that cultivation was the most important thing for them. However, breaking through to each new level in the Sacred Realm wasn’t easy at all. Some took over a hundred years to advance from the initial stage to the intermediate stage, and it wasn’t uncommon for it to take more than two hundred years. But with medicinal pills, things were different. They could reduce the time needed to gather magic power or combat energy day and night, allowing them to spend more time understanding the laws and breaking free from their constraints.

Some members of the Dragon Speech Empire’s royal family also came, and now their expressions were extremely gloomy.

It was easy to imagine that soon, the number of Huang family’s Sacred Realm guards would double. Even the Dragon clan would find it difficult to deal with the Huang family then.

After these powerful beings from the Sacred Realm joined the Huang family, many forces were indirectly involved, meaning those forces also became allies of the Huang family.

Fortunately, their joining was solely to protect the Huang family. Otherwise, the Dragon Speech Empire might be in trouble. The more the royal family members thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

The mysterious young man sat there, his face showing surprise before he smiled and said, “This kid is quite interesting. Even I’m somewhat tempted.”

Leif was stunned for a moment before smiling in agreement.

Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong, sitting next to Huang Long, were even more excited. They hadn’t expected their son to make such a surprising move. They had been worried that the Dragon clan would come after their son reached the Dragon Speech Empire’s palace, but now they were relieved.

It turned out their son had already planned a backup plan.
