Chapter 1700

Those who had the qualifications to be invited by Zang Yongsi were either experts or big shots of their own factions. Apart from Ke Si, who was at the early ninth rank, the others were all peak ninth rank existences.

After being ignored for an entire day, many people were dissatisfied and had undisguised anger on their faces.

"You called us over but didn't show yourself. Are you looking down on us or toying with us?"

A Dax tigerman slammed the table, causing the tea on the table to tremble and splash out. A powerful aura surged from him, causing many experts' expressions to change.

"What a powerful aura."

Energy ripples spread, causing space to ripple. Ke Si's expression changed. As expected, none of those who could come here were weak. Instead, it was him, who was at the early ninth rank, who seemed like a crane in a flock of chickens.

A maid immediately came forward to clean up the water on the table. A middle-aged cultivator wearing a blue robe walked in and said with a smile, "Brother Tyrant Tiger must be joking. My elder brother is busy with this matter and hasn't returned yet. That's why everyone waited for an entire day."

The Tyrant Tiger's pupils constricted when he saw this middle-aged man. He retracted his aura and snorted, "I hope it's as you say."

After saying that, the Tyrant Tiger sat down and didn't say anything else. If one looked closely, they could see fear in his eyes.

The chaotic scene quieted down because of the middle-aged man's appearance.

Not for anything else, but because of his identity.

Yong Mo, ranked twentieth on the Imperial Sky Region's Commander Board. He was Zang Yongsi's sworn brother.

Knowing how powerful Yong Mo was, many experts chose to remain silent. However, Yong Mo's identity wasn't enough to frighten everyone. The next moment, a lion-man shining with golden light said, "Yong Mo, don't play tricks with us. Zang Yongsi called us here but hasn't come yet. What is he doing?"

This lion-man's status was much higher than the Tyrant Tiger's in the Dax tribe. His reputation was on par with Zang Yongsi's, so he didn't fear Yong Mo at all.

The first tigerman made Ke Si apprehensive, then this Yong Mo made him unable to see through him. Now, there was a lion-man who dared to call Zang Yongsi by name. He clearly wasn't any weaker than him.

Ke Si, who was originally full of confidence, restrained himself a lot.

As for the others, most of them chose to remain silent.

With such an expert speaking, there was almost no chance for them to participate.

The silent crowd also wanted to know what Zang Yongsi was doing. They all looked at Yong Mo, waiting for his answer.

Facing the gazes of many powerhouses, Yong Mo smiled faintly and said, "This is not a secret to begin with. Since even Senior Brother Meng is asking, then there's no harm in telling everyone."

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Everyone, since everyone is here, it's obvious that you're here for the ancient dragon boat. I believe everyone has heard of the latest news regarding the ancient dragon boat. That's right, the dragon boat leads to the end of the world. The secret of breaking through to the sector lord realm has been confirmed. This is real."

There was some disturbance in the crowd. Not everyone knew about this news.

"The secret to becoming a Sector Lord."

Ke Si raised his head and looked around. As the only Ninth Tier early-stage cultivator present, he did not seem to know about this matter.

However, looking at the calm expressions of the other Soul-devouring Clan experts, they were obviously not surprised. They should have known.

"Actually, we were the ones who discovered this information first. At that time, you were only at the eighth tier, so we didn't tell you."

A voice sounded. It came from a Soul-devouring Clan expert. He was an expert on the ranking list and had a pure bloodline.

Yong Mo waved his hand, and the noisy discussion gradually stopped. Yong Mo said, "There's no secret to becoming a Sector Lord. The so-called secret here is actually resources. At the end of the world, there are resources that can allow us to break through to the Sector Lord realm. Of course, other than resources, there might be other things."

"As everyone knows, to board the dragon boat, other than having sufficient strength, one must first prepare a dragon soul. My elder brother has not returned for a long time because he went to look for a dragon soul."

When the crowd heard this, they fell into silence. However, there were some who were in the know. One of them questioned, "I heard that you humans have already found a dragon soul. Now that Zang Yongsi has left, could it be that there's a new discovery?"

Yong Mo smiled and said, "A dragon soul is already extremely rare. How can there be a second one? Originally, my elder brother had already discussed everything with the owner of the dragon soul. When the time comes, he will directly use the dragon soul to board the boat. However, after that person left, my elder brother had another idea, which is to gather everyone to discuss the matter of forming an alliance. However, before that, he has to find the owner of the dragon soul and discuss this matter with him."

"What's the background of that person?"

A leopard man stood up, emitting a tyrannical aura. He said loudly, "If he doesn't agree, just kill him."

Yong Mo looked at this leopard man and said, "Speaking of this person, you should have heard of him before. His name is Zi Chen. He has only been in the Battlefield of Despair for a mere ten years and has already become an expert on the ranking board. A few days ago, he had just entered the ninth layer and killed Xu Hou to enter the ranking board. After that, Hu Fo, who was ranked seventy-eighth, took a fancy to his dragon soul.

Yong Mo looked at the crowd and said, "He has just entered the ninth layer and is ranked seventy-eighth. According to some reliable sources, he hasn't shown his true strength yet. It's said that if he really shows his strength, he can enter the top fifty."

The commotion sounded again, but almost all of them were from the other races. Compared to them, the human powers had a deeper understanding of Zi Chen. At this moment, they only revealed surprise on their faces. They didn't expect that Zi Chen actually had the strength to enter the top fifty.

In the Battlefield of Despair, every ranking board that was recognized by the rules was an extremely important existence.

Zi Chen had just entered the ninth layer and already had the chance to enter the top fifty. This kind of battle strength might not be enough to scare the crowd, but this kind of potential was enough to move everyone.

Even Ke Si, who was also in the early ninth layer, didn't have the strength to do so.

Sure enough, Yong Mo said, "Oh, I forgot to say. Now everyone agrees that Zi Chen will be the next Long Fei."

The noisy discussions in the surroundings instantly stopped.

The two words "Long Fei" represented a legend. As soon as the legend was mentioned, the crowd fell silent.

Long Fei left, and now Zi Chen came. The other races' expressions were unnatural.

"Hmph, I don't believe that he's that strong when he just entered the ninth layer." The leopard man just now snorted, but his tone was clearly no longer forceful.

Yong Mo said, "Actually, I haven't seen this person before. When I first heard about him, I didn't believe it like most of you. But after we checked some of his battle information, we found that when he was in the middle of the seventh layer, he could already kill a peak eighth layer existence. After entering the eighth layer, he could even kill a ninth layer existence."

The other races' expressions changed. There was fear in their eyes, but there was a deeper meaning behind it.

As for the leopard man, he sat down and didn't say anything.

"Although the dragon soul is in Zi Chen's hands, don't worry. Since my big brother sent out the invitation, he naturally has a way to persuade Zi Chen to let everyone board the boat. This time, we're actually here to discuss the matter of alliance."

"Alliance."

"That's right. Everyone knows that boarding a dragon boat is extremely dangerous. Up until now, not a single person has returned alive. We don't know if those people are dead or have truly entered another world. But as long as we form an alliance, if there are any accidents along the way, we will be able to overcome them. And gathering everyone's strength, we will be able to enter the depths of the world and become a Sector Lord …"

Yong Mo said enthusiastically. Many people were excited and their blood boiled.

But there were also some people who curled their lips in disdain.

These people were true experts, comparable to Yong Mo and Zang Yongsi. What they cared about the most was whether they could board the dragon boat, not listening to Yong Mo's words.

On that day, everyone said that they could form an alliance.

As for Kesi, his expression constantly changed.

If Zi Chen agreed, then all the experts would undoubtedly owe Zi Chen a favor. And if he wanted to sell the coordinates, it would be a bit troublesome.

After Yong Mo calmed everyone down, Kesi suddenly stood up and said, "Fellow experts, I'm Kesi. I recently discovered a small world. That small world is called the Giant Dragon World. There are many dragon souls there."

Seeing a little fellow at the ninth layer, many people were dissatisfied. But when they heard about the Giant Dragon World, they were curious.

"Of course, I don't know if the dragon souls are useful to the dragon boat or not. But there is a dragon tomb there. Maybe we can find a sleeping dragon soul in the dragon tomb."

Everyone looked at Ke Si. Under the gazes of many powerhouses, Ke Si continued, "Of course, I can't be sure about all this. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. When Lord Zang Yongsi returns, after this discussion, I will sell the coordinates of the Giant Dragon World."

Although he finally stated his purpose, Kesi didn't receive the response he expected.

Some experts comparable to Zang Yongsi just glanced at him with a faint smile and then looked away.

On the other hand, those big shots seemed to be very tempted.

Similarly, Yong Mo also glanced at Kesi with a faint smile.

Zang Yongsi didn't return the next day, but there was news that Zi Chen had agreed to let everyone who was invited to board the dragon boat.

The final goal was achieved. The next step was to discuss some details. They could only wait for Zang Yongsi to return.

On the third day, Zang Yongsi appeared with good news.

So, a group of experts began to discuss.

This time, the discussion took two full days.

After delaying for five days, Zang Yongsi heaved a sigh of relief. He would leave the rest of the matters to Zi Chen to handle.

These five days plus the previous two days made seven days.

And in Zi Chen's world, one and a half years had passed.

After such a long time, everyone's weapons finally died.

While Kesi was selling the coordinates in the place provided by Zang Yongsi, Zi Chen took out the upgraded black long saber from the alchemy cauldron.
