Chapter Fifty-One: Dominating the Congress
The Lott family, in the hall.
Ye Han sat in the central seat at the front of the hall, with Kasdreo, the spokesperson who helped him manage the 'Heart Gate', sitting beside him on the lower side, and Modosi, the head of the Lott family.
At this time, Ye Han was carefully listening to Castello's report, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely solemn.
"The beast tide, in the chaotic city area, has not occurred for nearly 50 years. Who would have thought that this time it came so quickly and so fiercely? Now all the major families, powers, and gangs in the city have sent out their elite fighters, along with the city defense army of the Chaotic City Lord's Manor, to fight a bloody battle outside, with heavy casualties."
Castro's tone was extremely solemn.
"But this is only a temporary stability, because the city of chaos has always been turbulent, and every beast tide has become more intense in the later stages. For now, it's just the appearance of mid-to-low-level beasts, but by the end, even stronger beasts will appear, including those that surpass the 9th level of existence. At that time, it can only be a comparison of each other's peak strength."
Ye Han sat in his seat, listening to his narrative, with an unchanged expression, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
The City of Chaos is located at the intersection of several major duchies, with the northern border facing the endless Xuejian Mountains. This region has been able to maintain its unique position not only because of the balance and restraint of various forces, forming a lawless zone, but also because every few decades, large numbers of magical beasts will mysteriously emerge from the Xuejian Mountains, causing violent uprisings, gathering together, and attacking human cities.
At this time, all the major forces in the city of chaos will unite to resist, because the magic beast is different from other creatures, with a violent temper. In the magic beast tide, if you are attacked into the city, everyone will die. Therefore, during this period, the various major forces in the city, no matter what contradictions they have, must join hands to survive this life and death.
"Since this chaotic city was established in this region, it has experienced no less than a dozen beast tides over the past few hundred years. But I never thought that this time would be so big and so fierce, I don't know if we can get through it?"
Modo Xi's face seemed to have aged a few years as he spoke, no wonder he felt a lack of confidence. It was because the scale of this beast tide could be described as unprecedented and never seen before.
Ye Han listened and didn't respond. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a light sip, and at this moment, he suddenly raised his head, let out a cold hum, and spoke.
"You think you can show off your petty skills in front of me? Get out of here..."
Suddenly, an invisible wave spread out in all directions, radiating to a position of about 300-400 square meters around the mansion. Then, a dull hum was heard, and a figure clad in black robes fell down, kneeling on one knee on the empty ground in front of the mansion, with a thread of fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
But he didn't seem nervous at all, just lifted his head and looked towards Ye Han sitting in the hall.
"The Master of Spiritual Power is indeed the Master of Spiritual Power, and I am humbled. However, this time I have come under orders from my superior to deliver an invitation to Your Excellency. I hope that three days hence, you will be able to visit and discuss with us the great matter of life and death in this chaotic city."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black thin sheet tore through the air at high speed and rotated to come in front of Ye Han.
Ye Han's expression didn't change, he stretched out his hand and steadily caught the thin black card. Only then did he realize that it was a black gold invitation with several large characters embossed on it, "Master's Congress".
He hadn't fully figured out what was going on when Castro and Modesto suddenly stood up beside him.
Especially Morosi, seeing the black-clothed man standing outside the hall, suddenly changed his face and exclaimed, "Black Guard."
The man in black from head to toe didn't even give him a glance, but instead made a fist and bowed to Ye Han sitting at the top of the hall.
"I'll deliver the invitation personally, so as not to waste your time. Please arrive on time for our appointment."
Before his words had fallen, his feet suddenly stopped, turned into a black shadow, and jumped over the outer wall of the courtyard, with an astonishing speed.
Look at his skill and strength, he's actually a 9th-level warrior. He's just the other party's messenger.
"This is the elite black guard within the Lord's Manor of Chaos City, who holds the power to kill and take in Chaos City, representing the dignity of the Lord's Manor. Since they have sent an invitation to the Dominance Council at this time, it seems that they are inviting you to discuss the matter of the demon beast tide together."
Mo Duo Xi took a deep breath and said anxiously.
However, within this chaotic city lord's manor, it is unclear what is real and what is not. This 'Master Council', touted as the highest authority that governs everything in the Chaotic City, is held jointly by the seven strongest Dark Lords of the Chaotic City and the Lord of the Chaotic City himself, and has only been convened three times before. This is the fourth time it will be held, and traditionally, only the strongest individuals within the Chaotic City are invited to attend. The fact that you have received this invitation means that the Chaotic City Lord's manor has already acknowledged your strength. Nevertheless, you must still be cautious when attending this time!
Castro beside looked at Ye Han and said.
Ye Han nodded, holding the thin, yet expensive black gold invitation card, his eyes gradually narrowing, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.
……
Quiet time passes quickly, but for this chaotic city, it feels extremely long.
In just these three short days, the thick walls of the city of chaos have been covered in flesh and blood, and the air is filled with a heavy smell of gore. Among them are all sorts of maddened magical beasts, as well as various forces from the city of chaos who have killed until their eyes turned red.
The city outside has become a massive meat grinder, and anyone who is placed outside will be instantly slaughtered into powder. The scene is extremely cruel. All kinds of mid-to-low-level demons have gone mad and rushed towards the city walls, engaging in the most terrifying and brutal tug-of-war with the various forces guarding them. The hustle and bustle of the past can no longer be heard, and what is presented before one's eyes is the most cruel scene.
This is a war between beasts and humans, also a cruel law concerning death and survival.
The demons want to attack the city, and humans want to defend it. The contradiction between them is irreconcilable. If it were an ordinary city, it would have collapsed long ago under such a large-scale crazy attack. But the one defending here is the City of Chaos, a sinful city where thieves and bandits from all sides gather, making everyone headache. Most people who can live here are fugitives, with a violent nature that cannot be changed. After rounds of killing, they gradually become bloodthirsty and manage to withstand wave after wave of beastly attacks.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning, because every time a beast tide comes, it will last for ten days to half a month. The previous battles were all tug-of-war, with both sides at a stalemate. As time goes on, those truly powerful beasts will gradually appear, even surpassing level 9 existences, and that is when the highest strength of both sides will be measured.
If the strong human wins, then the city of chaos will be defended, and if the demon beast breaks through the city wall and enters it, a large-scale cruel massacre will inevitably occur.
Whether to defend the city wall or be slaughtered, it depends on the final battle of the highest level. Everyone's mood is heavy, and all eyes are focused on the chaotic castle lord's mansion.
Today, the outer gate of the city lord's mansion has already been surrounded by many majestic or luxurious carriages. Many soldiers wearing black armor are stationed around, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn. From time to time, new carriages will arrive from afar and stop in front of the city lord's mansion. There will be special personnel to greet them, and a big shot will get off, stamping their feet, causing the ground to shake three times.
"Sir, this is a carriage from the Lord of Chaos Manor, come to take you to the Overlord's Council."
Outside the gate of the Luo family, a huge carriage made entirely of black iron was parked there. The four horses pulling the carriage were all high-headed and had blue-green manes. What's strange is that on the foreheads and ankles of these four horses, there were dense blue scales, with muscles bulging, looking extremely extraordinary, obviously a fine horse at first glance.
Ye Han knew that this was a Lingma, said to be a powerful magical beast and a cross between a high-quality Qianli horse, born with a gentle temperament, running like flying, with great strength and surprising people, and also having very strong combat power, its strength is not weaker than that of ordinary mid-tier magical beasts, it's a high-end mount. Unexpectedly, this time, it was actually sent to pull a carriage in the City Lord's Mansion of the Chaotic City.
"You stay with the Lott family and wait for my news, I'll go first. I'd like to see what kind of tricks this chaotic city master has up his sleeve."
Ye Han ordered Castro and Modosi, then walked into the huge black iron carriage. The servants who drove the horses in front and the black-clad guards immediately drove the carriage towards the direction of the city master's mansion.
Before long, they arrived at the City Lord's Manor. At the entrance of the City Lord's Manor, many horse-drawn carriages were parked all around, but at a glance, only the seven carriages in front stood out.
Especially these seven horse-drawn carriages, turned out to be the same type as the huge black iron carriage that Ye Han was riding in. They were cast from black iron, pulled by four spirited horses, and looked solemn and majestic, with an extremely grand aura. In one glance, they overshadowed all the other carriages outside the city lord's mansion, just like a king compared to ordinary nobles.
Ye Han's black iron carriage was the eighth one!
He frowned at this scene and didn't say a word. After getting off the car, he followed the expert into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the chaotic city.
"Come this way, sir."
Under the guidance of a dedicated servant, Ye Han followed behind him, along the winding corridors within the chaotic city's lord's manor, heading towards the deepest part. Finally, they arrived at the entrance to a grand and majestic great hall.
With a creak, the heavy gate was pushed open and a beam of sunlight shone in. Ye Hancai only then realized that many people had already gathered in the grand hall. Everyone's gaze turned towards his direction, their eyes filled with doubt and schadenfreude.
The space fell dark again, and with a "bang", the heavy door was closed once more. Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Ye Han's expression didn't change, but in his heart he felt a chill. The thirty or so people in this great hall, although their builds were all different, all unconsciously emitted a strange, either scorching hot, icy cold, or eerily calm aura.
Twenty or thirty of them, at this moment in the great hall, were all existences that had transcended the ninth level. Ye Han's heart condensed.
"Chaos City Lord, isn't this capturing all the strong ones in the entire Chaos City at once?!"
He looked up and saw that at the front of the grand hall, on a high platform, there was a majestic figure sitting with a black cloak draped over his shoulders and a golden mask in the shape of a ferocious ghost. There was no movement, but he naturally exuded an aura, like a massive whirlpool, giving everyone an indescribable feeling at first glance. The breath on his body slowly spread out, carrying an air of dominance and mystery, making everyone who approached him feel a heavy, oppressive sensation.
Without anyone introducing him, Ye Han knew that the person wearing a golden grotesque ghost mask was the master of Chaos City. Because only such a person, who claimed to be the strongest in Chaos City, with such a terrifying aura, could have kept the entire city under control for forty years.
Just as he looked up at the chaotic city master sitting on the grand hall, he also saw that there were seven people of different builds standing on the high platform. They were a mix of men and women, some tall and some short, some thin and some fat, and their clothes were also very eye-catching.
At a glance, it can be seen that the seven people standing on this high platform are the strongest seven people in the entire Grand Hall, except for the Lord of Chaos City.
Just as Ye Han raised his eyes to look upwards, the chaotic city master sitting on the bronze throne above him, wearing a golden ferocious ghost mask, also met his gaze with an expression of indifference and extreme overbearingness, devoid of any emotions.
Ye Han's expression didn't change, but in his heart he felt a chill, "What a terrifying person."
The chaotic city master gave him a feeling that there was only one, strong, strong to the extreme, and before that, the person who could give him this kind of feeling was only one, that is, the controller of the Wanbao Trading Building's Chaotic City branch, the disabled winner. This chaotic city, the chaotic city master, is the second person to give him this kind of feeling.
Of course, this is completely different from the feeling that 'Leyli' gave him. If the feeling that the chaotic city master and Wanbao trading house's Yinglao gave him was strong and unfathomable, but still had a general idea, then when facing 'Leyli', he couldn't see anything at all, which is the most terrifying thing.
"'Xīn Mén' Ye Hán, received an invitation from the host of the chaotic world, came to this place. If I disturb everyone, please forgive me."
As they spoke, he had already taken out the thin black gold invitation and quickly spun it forward, the chaotic city master sat on top, raised his hand, and pinched it with two fingers.
Just then, Ye Han suddenly felt that something was off. The people around him changed their expressions after seeing the black gold invitation he took out.
Before the chaotic city master could even think of speaking, at this time, one of the seven people standing on the high platform, a not very tall, white-armored, pale-faced man who seemed to have applied foundation and was slightly thin, suddenly spoke up.
"Black Gold Invitation?! This is the only proof of our identity and status as the seven dark overlords within the City of Chaos. Lord of Chaos, I didn't expect you to issue another one. I'd like to see if he's qualified for it?"
His figure suddenly disappeared on the spot, and everyone looked at Ye Han standing in the empty space in the center of the main hall as if they were watching a good show.
Ye Han, standing in place, suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Without hesitation, he took a step forward. Instantly, he heard 'hiss!' and a huge, ferocious claw appeared in the position where he had just been, leaving three huge claw marks in the air.
Then the claw marks disappeared again, Ye Han's face changed, and no one saw that his eyes had turned into a crystal-like transparent color in an instant, profound to the extreme, 'Tianyan Tong'.
Then, his eyes suddenly turned to the side front position three feet away. His eyes snapped open, and the white light in his eyes burst out, 'Hiss.' The air seemed to be cut off, and nine sword auras that seemed to cut through everything burst out around his body like lotus flowers. The hard marble floor was like tofu, instantly sinking about half an inch, scattering white powder, as if covering people's shadows.
Just then, a faint humming noise was heard in the void. A huge and ferocious claw mark was forced out. Then it suddenly disappeared again, and a drop of fresh blood dripped onto the ground.
"Damn it, chaotic city master, you didn't mention that he was a madman who had practiced the Void Mind Intentionless Sword Body to a great extent."
The figure of the hidden demon, without any warning, seemed to have squeezed out from nothingness and appeared on the high platform in the grand hall. His face still had a lingering fear, his palms had unknowingly transformed into huge beast claws, among which, the tip of the right claw had a thin wound, a drop of fresh blood dripped down. "The strength is enough. Unfortunately, I still can't track my position!"
"Is it?" His face changed color, and behind him, Ye Han's voice suddenly sounded.
