Chapter 200 - The Arrival Of The Sea Princess
"The Sea Princess has arrived!"
Immediately, the bustling crowd quietened down. They held their breaths as their eyes sparkled in expectation.
Soon, a flying and majestic palanquin emerged out of the space in the middle of the arena. There were ten figures behind the majestic palanquin as if they were the ones guarding it. They held their heads high arrogantly and looked straight, not bothering to look at anyone. After which, they released their auras, making everyone breathe hard excluding Jin Rou.
"Nine Immortals!" Someone suddenly exclaimed as soon as he recognized the old men standing behind, "They actually brought the Nine Immortals even they're just going to announce something. Looks like what they will say holds a very heavy degree."
The Nine Immortals were the strongest Immortals of the Sea Ancient Race. All of them had already reached the peak of the Immortal Realm and just needed some epiphany in order to breakthrough to become an Immortal Emperor. However, it was already a hundred thousand years passed and yet they remained in the same realm. But of course, even though they remained in the Immortal Realm, no one would dare to underestimate them as the nine of them had already slain an Immortal Emperor in the past! Not to mention, that Immortal Emperor was a Second-Generation!
With this, they received a high status in the ancient race, basking in compliments and all. And now, the ancient race had actually dispatched their Nine Immortals. It really did seem that something big was about to happen.
"It is indeed the Nine Immortals." Lang Zing second the motion and was stumped. Even in the Land Continent, the Nine Immortals were known.
As the sensation died down, a good observer asked in confusion, "But who's that person after the Nine Immortals? His face is not familiar."
Those who heard this immediately looked at the figure and discovered that none of them had actually seen this person. Some tried to probe the man's cultivation but in the end, they suffered a backlash that made them puke blood.
Seeing this, no one dared to push their luck and just standby. They were not willing to face the backlash as they were scared enough that it would bring a lifetime detrimental effects in one's cultivation. Furthermore, maybe that mysterious man would be introduced later on. They just need to wait if it's the case.
The man, who was the centre of attention, did not pay any heed to them and silently stood there. Although this man was not that handsome, he was giving a ferocious vibe like a predator seeing its prey that made him good looking in another way.
Soon, the majestic palanquin has opened and a graceful white foot and stepped on the land. Soon, the whole figure was revealed and what presented them was a very beautiful lady in a blue robe. Her water-blue hair swayed as she gracefully walked a few steps before coming into a stop.
The men present were almost not able to hold back themselves and drool over. Perhaps if not for the Nine Immortals present, they would lust the Sea Princess until they were satisfied. Of course, via just imagination.
The Sea Princess looked at the crowd with obvious disdain in her eyes for a split second. However, she did not say anything else. Although she did not like the lustful expressions the men currently had, she knew that this was not the time to lash out or anything. She just needed to do her job and go home as soon as possible. She was not willing to be the figure of the wild imaginations of the men here as it would be degrading her as the princess of the ancient race. historical
"Thank you, everyone, for coming here. You have my heartfelt gratitude for those who took their time to come here as well, especially for the seniors of the powerhouses of the entire Sea Continent." The Sea Princess said, faking a sweet smile.
The crowd's applause filled the entire arena.
After a brief pause to admire the applause of the crowd, she then added, "I will no longer beat around the bush and will say what I have to say as to not waste our precious time any longer. The Sea Ancient Race will open the Forbidden Island in 2 days!"
Woah!
Everyone was stumped. Even Jin Rou was shocked as well. Loud cheers could be heard as if they met their saving grace this time.
"Everyone knows that the Forbidden Island is the most restricted place in Grivexia as it contained grave dangers everywhere and it doesn't contain any treasures at all. Furthermore, only Immortal Emperors have the right to enter. However, a few days ago, two of our Immortal Emperors had ventured the island and discovered that there were tons of treasures in the deeper part of the island. They even confirmed that there were immortal-level armaments and perhaps, there is also an Immortal Emperor Armament as well!" The Sea Princess smiled.
The crowd was instantly fueled by their greed as they thought of the treasures inside the island. If they got even a single treasure there, wouldn't it be great? It would soar their strength by leaps and bounds!
However, the seniors of the crowd frowned. There were too many loopholes in this announcement and they found it weird. If the island really had many treasures in the deep part, why would those Immortal Emperors who tried their luck did not find any single treasure at all? Although there were Immortal Emperors who died venturing inside, there were also a few who managed to return in one piece but they just wasted their time. But now, they were saying that treasures emerged in the deeper part of the island? As far as these seniors knew, the Immortal Emperors had already excavated the entire island but there wasn't a treasure at all. Unless it was perfectly hidden?
What's more, if there were really treasures inside, why would the mighty ancient race announce this in public? They could just grab those treasures and they could not say anything at all. If those were really immortal-level or above treasures, even the ancient race would be tempted. With the strength the ancient race currently had, no one would stop them even inside the island. Or at least, this what the seniors think of.
Realizing that there were some doubts revealed in some of the seniors' faces, the Sea Princess expected this and added, "Of course, since we are letting everyone venture inside the island 2 days from now, there's a condition. Whatever treasures will we find, the ratio would be 50-50. The 50% of the treasures will belong to us and the other half will be up to the sects who participated how to divide it. Consider this as our Sea Ancient Race is giving gifts to everyone."
