Chapter 556: Chapter 367: They’re Panicking, They’re in a Hurry!
“A Level 9 Lord’s Mansion, are you all in a hurry now?”
Zi Liyuan’s lips curled into a cold smile, especially when he noticed that the Alien Lords on the map had paused for an instant before bursting forward at even greater speed toward his territory.
You see, these guys had been leisurely hunting all the Skeletons they saw along the way and sauntering toward his land without any urgency.
But as soon as they heard his Lord’s Mansion had upgraded to Level 9, they clearly became anxious.
These Alien Lords definitely wouldn’t think that Zi Liyuan could level up to a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion.
Early-stage leveling resources are hard to come by, especially those rare materials. Even if they’re sold on the market, the total amount available is very limited, and the cost of purchase is astronomical.
They didn’t believe that Zi Liyuan could gather enough materials to upgrade to a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion in such a short time.
The reason they’re rushing over so urgently to die is actually because they fear that after knowing about the heavy casualties among his Little Skeleton Subjects and stationing troops, Li Yuan might transfer the remaining lots of materials for friends and relatives to preserve, and then take off with his Level 9 Lord’s Mansion!
If he really did escape, his subsequent development might suffer some losses, but certainly not as much as imagined.
He would still have the chance to quickly reach a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion.
After all, who doesn’t have a few friends and relatives?
At worst, he would pay a price to obtain the last required resources for the upgrade from someone else.
Looking at his pace of upgrading the Lord’s Mansion, he is already way ahead of all the other Lords!
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Sea Sky Path’s leaderboard didn’t have a ranking for the Lord’s Mansion upgrading speed, just the broadcast in the all-chat channel of the first person, these Alien Lords wouldn’t specially hunt down Zi Liyuan and make him a target.
However, at this moment, Zi Liyuan’s flurry of tricky moves truly stunned a bunch of people.
Take Li Fengwen, Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, and Zhu Wu for instance. After entering the Sea of Realms, they brought quite a few subordinates to become Lords.
While these Lords were developing themselves, they were only ensuring their normal growth without falling behind too much. The rest of the various materials all supported the four royal families’ direct lineages.
So when Li Fengwen and the others saw Zi Liyuan become the first, they immediately used him as a shield.
They always upgraded shortly after Zi Liyuan upgraded his Lord’s Mansion, with a difference of less than a minute each time.
But Sea Sky Path broadcasted Zi Liyuan’s name, attracting all the hatred towards him, while they hid behind as the sixth, developing in peace, only needing to strike at the very end to snatch the title of the first to reach a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion.
After all, this promotion would lift the Sea Boundary Seal and also receive tremendous rewards from the Sea Sky Path.
However, Zi Liyuan’s move this time clearly took these scheming Lords by surprise.
Ascending two levels at once consumed a lot of resources, and they hadn’t collected everything needed yet.
But these Lords still followed without hesitation, first upgrading to a Level 8 Lord’s Mansion and then frantically seeking all kinds of rare resources to keep up.
With Zi Liyuan’s speed, as long as he’s not killed by the Alien Lords, it is estimated that it wouldn’t take more than two or three days to gather the materials needed for a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion.
That being said, with his move, Zi Liyuan has directly disrupted the plans of a large group of scheming Lords, causing them to panic.
At the same time, many of the scheming Lords among the Alien Lords revealed a frenzied intent to kill, and then began contacting some people, making all sorts of exchanges of interest, just to immediately and urgently go snipe Zi Liyuan.
Even if they couldn’t kill him, they had to prevent him from comfortably gathering the final upgrade materials; he had to be held back at all costs!
And the ones who were first contacted were the eighteen Alien Lords who had already reached the vicinity of Zi Liyuan’s territory.
How high and mighty were these chosen ones with strong backers in the Sea of Realms ordinarily?
But this time they took the initiative to contact others, offering part of their benefits in exchange for taking down Zi Liyuan, or at the very least, destroying his Lord’s Mansion, which had just been upgraded to Level 9.
In the face of huge benefits, these eighteen Alien Lords were naturally tempted, hence their marching speed became even faster.
Zi Liyuan must not be allowed to escape!
The original plan was slightly altered once again; at this moment, everyone is willing to reveal their trump cards to ensure a guaranteed kill!
For the even faster-advancing Alien Lords, Zi Liyuan’s brow slightly raised, and although he didn’t know the specifics, he could guess the general situation.
The sudden upgrade to Level 9 must have disrupted the plans of many scions of heaven, and surely many people were making efforts behind the scenes to immediately sanction him.
However, who would end up sanctioned, and who would have the last laugh, remained to be seen.
Anyway, Zi Liyuan felt that he couldn’t possibly fail. In this vast New World No. 99, he would definitely claim the position of the Grand Lord!
“Fast indeed, but you’re all ultimately going to die!”
Having said that mockingly, Zi Liyuan unhesitatingly bet all 20,500 Spirit Crystals he had accumulated directly into the Sea Sky Path’s betting pool “Whether Zi Liyuan can be the first to upgrade his Lord’s Mansion to Level 10.”
A second later, he reopened the Lord interface and then pressed down on the upgrade button for the Lord’s Mansion!
