My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 451 - 307: Treasure Auction (5K)

Ever since Lanxing's integration, Elf Courtyard Mystery Territory has seen bustling activity, with many people here to drink tea and chat even outside of the trading gathering periods.

However, Tianyuan Guy has been nowhere to be seen.

Some lords had heard rumors that Tianyuan Guy had met with an unexpected event, that during the disaster integration phase, his entire territory had encountered a spatial displacement and was thrown deep into the wilderness.

But now, the long-absent Tianyuan Guy appeared!

It has barely been half a month since the integration with Lanxing, not a long time. Still, the entire world, or at least the entire Tai Xuan Alliance, underwent earth-shaking changes. The changes varied, with some good and some bad, and places like the trading secret realm, these "high-end gathering venues," became the easiest spots to gather information from all over the world.

Every lord would visit the secret realm whenever they had some free time. Thanks to the way the secret realm existed, a lord's visit to the secret realm was as simple as visiting a neighbor's house.

Lords ran to the secret realm day in and day out, several times a day.

Sometimes, even if they were too busy to get away, they would ask their heroes to go on their behalf.

It was no secret that Tianyuan Territory was connected to this secret realm, yet after half a month, there was still no sign of Lord Tianyuan, leading some to speculate.

"Tianyuan Giant!"

Some lords couldn't help but exclaim.

In an instant, over half of the lords in the secret realm turned their gaze in that direction, even those who were bidding for treasures couldn't resist but sneak a peek.

Tianyuan was a 'celebrity.'

The only publicly known combat achievements of Lord Tianyuan were the 'Lord Trial' and 'Hero Festival,' and even the news of Lord Tianyuan representing the Tai Xuan Alliance in the Dragon Court conflict only circulated in a few small circles. Nevertheless, just the 'Hero Festival' battle alone was enough to make Tianyuan's name renowned.

Tianyuan was said to bear the likeness of Lord of Han Yue City, known as Little Han Yue. Moreover, Lord Tianyuan's movements were always unpredictable, with few lords having the chance to encounter him. Now that they had the chance, they were eager to take a closer look, to see if there was anything that set Lord Tianyuan apart from ordinary people.

Upon closer inspection, there was nothing unusual, save for the fact that he was quite handsome, worthy of the name Tianyuan indeed.

...

Mu Yuan was taken aback by the bustling atmosphere as soon as he stepped into Elf's Courtyard.

When had this secret realm ever been so lively? Even during trading sessions, there would only be a dozen or so lords present. Sometimes, the arrival of Lord of Han Yue City would attract a bunch of 'star-chasing' lords, but today Lord of Han Yue City wasn't there.

He found himself like a handsome boy under the watchful eyes of many, which made Mr. Mu, skilled in the Dead Bone arts, slightly uncomfortable.

He quickly figured it out.

The other lords didn't look on for long either. Each of them was a great lord with thousands of territory citizens and numerous valiant soldiers under their command; they weren't there to chase stars but out of curiosity and for the spectacle.

Some lords approached to make acquaintance and get familiar.

—Even now, although Tianyuan was still considered a Greenhand lord, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them given his potential. It was necessary to get to know a future bigshot in advance.

So thought a few lords.

But what they might not have considered was that Tianyuan, described as "relatively Greenhand," was a story from several updates ago.

After chatting for a bit, Mu Yuan inquired about the general situation of the world from Jiang Luoxing and Liu Miumiu.

"The Alliance has been preparing for a long time; the integration with Lanxing this time went rather smoothly. There were some minor incidents, but hardly any major ones," said Jiang Luoxing.

Before the disaster, accidents were inevitable. The rescue efforts of Tai Xuan Liangyi and Players Association weren't always timely. Sacrifices, falls, and deaths happened now and then.

This was the result of the efforts of the official departments and most lords from various areas doing their best to rescue people.

Compared to Tai Xuan, although the neighboring Star Light Empire also loudly claimed they "would not abandon any citizen," the reality of who actually helped ordinary people were just a few lords and some civil rescue organizations.

In face of the disaster, the surviving people of Tai Xuan could only live in simple temporary housing, uprooted from their homes and filled with uncertainty about the future. They couldn't call themselves happy, but by comparing their situation to those in God Light Country, they might find some solace.

"Some territories on the outskirts of the Alliance moved out a bit, but none as dramatically as yours, Tianyuan Giant, to the point of being in a place where communication artifacts can't even make contact," said Jiang Luoxing.

"Tianyuan Giant, have you figured out the coordinates of your territory yet?" Jiang Luoxing asked.

Mu Yuan shook his head.

The area he was in was rather peculiar. The Featherman Country had lived here for so long without ever encountering any Tai Xuan Pioneers passing by.

Without a reference point, he couldn't determine his position.

"For now, I can only guarantee safety and slowly explore outward, hoping to find reliable clues someday," sighed Mu Yuan.

While some lords felt that Lord Tianyuan was in crisis, Jiang Luoxing didn't think so. With Tianyuan Giant's capabilities, how could the depths of the wild pose even the slightest threat to him? Tianyuan Giant was a super super super bigshot who ranked first in the Dragon Court conflict selections; he was already not on their level, probably stronger than many veteran lords.

"I always said Tianyuan Giant certainly has no problems," said Jiang Luoxing. "Like me, my territory was also forced to move a bit; I was eyed by several Monster Tribes. However, I gathered some nearby lords the day before yesterday to form an Expeditionary Force and wiped out three Monster Tribes, including killing as many as three Third-order War General level tribe chiefs."
