Chapter 2723: The Fisherman Benefits from the Conflict Between the Snipe and the Clam! Watching the Fire from Across the Shore!
In the end, Jiangnan still managed to swindle three rich mining zones out of them using this method!
Never threaten Jiangnan, because he can always find an even more underhanded way to threaten you back!
But the War Horn was clearly turned off a bit too late; some unruly kids who didn't listen to their parents had already started singing!
Although no one knew who Qian Li was,
Just curse them and be done with it!
...
In the lawless lands of the Beiman Star Domain, this was a place where the light of the Sacred Law Council had never shone, a breeding ground for sin!
The people here had no faith, nor did they distinguish between races; they wandered on the edge of crime, indulging in pleasure and chasing fame and profit!
All kinds of forces clashed here; today you were the king, and tomorrow your bones might be floating among the stars!
And in this extremely chaotic lawless place, a force known as Candlelight had recently risen strongly, swallowing up countless large and small forces!
Now, with the battle at Zhetian City, it was another instance of the Candlelight organization winning against the odds!
Having seized this place as a base, the battle was now in its final stages!
On the city wall of Zhetian City stood two figures, one tall and one short, both draped in black robes, with black mist swirling beneath their hoods, their faces hidden!
Both looked down at the battlefield!
A Black Shine clan underling, holding a giant axe, laughed heartily:
(メ¯ꇴ¯) "The Zhetian faction? Heh～Taken! Utterly useless! From now on, this place belongs to our Candlelight organization!"
"By the way, boss! You're so strong, why are you messing around in this lawless place? Couldn't you make a living anywhere in the starry sky?"
"What a waste of talent, isn't it? And... why is our organization called Candlelight?"
The slightly shorter black-robed figure scolded: "So many questions? Don't ask what you shouldn't!"
The Black Shine clan underling shrank his neck:
(メ◔益◔ิ) "Second brother～you have the final say!"
But the tall figure didn't avoid the question; an old, aged voice came from within!
"Although candlelight is faint, it can still illuminate the darkness. I may be destined never to become a blazing sun, but I can still do what only I can do!"
"In the dark corners where the light cannot reach, light a candle!"
Candlelight... also means chasing the light!
The Black Shine clan underling tilted his head:
(メ◔～◔ิ) "So... it's just lighting a lamp? Then why don't we call ourselves 'Big Lightbulb' or 'Red Lantern'? That's more festive, right?"
Second brother: !!!
"Son of a bitch..."
He was about to swing his sword and chop this underling. Flipping big lightbulb!
You have no culture at all, do you?
Just then, the nursery rhyme echoed in everyone's ears!
Causing a wave of laughter on the Zhetian City battlefield. Even Second brother couldn't help but laugh!
Previously, "Your Secret, My Heart" was already explosive enough. They thought there would be a second episode, but who knew there would be another nursery rhyme?
Although the voice sounded childish and young, they could still tell it was Jiangnan's voice!
(メ≧▽≦) "Haha! Boss Nan is truly outrageous! I remember Qian Li is the top leader of the Bose clan, right? He really dares to curse?"
(◕･ˇ͜ʖˇ･) "Although I haven't paid much attention to the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, the Carbon Alliance has already dominated the arena, right? The Bose clan has fallen into an absolute disadvantage. I wonder how they'll wrap things up～"
(︶.̮●〃) "Heh～What does it have to do with us? That's the center of the starry sky's chaos, not something people like us can get involved in!"
"I came here because I couldn't stand the bullying rules of that damn Sacred Law Council. Fight! Let them fight! It's a good thing! Hopefully, it'll change the sky of the Thousand Stars Era!"
A nursery rhyme got everyone discussing the Sequence War!
The tall black-robed brother also couldn't help but smile; it was exactly the kind of thing Jiangnan would do!
The members of the Candlelight group didn't know that their "Big Brother" and "Second Brother" had once been at the center of the storm. If not for this series of changes, they would have had a place on the starry sky stage!
At this moment, the black-robed figure looked up at the starry sky, his eyes full of longing!
If you are destined to become the blazing sun, then please shine a little brighter!
Candlelight chases the light! The light it chases is also the light of the blazing sun!
His dreams shattered in the light, yet he also rushed out of the light and into the darkness!
And the shattered dreams are reforged in the darkness, becoming candlelight, illuminating the darkness!
Perhaps one day, even something as faint as candlelight can become as dazzling as the blazing sun...
...
On the Sea of Star Embers battlefield, the Bose clan ultimately failed to hire Jiangnan; instead, they were bled dry by him!
Jiangnan was actually not tempted by profit—this somewhat surprised the Shadow Warrior!
The auction ended smoothly. Jiangnan sold off all the surplus base planets that the Carbon Alliance had to exchange for money!
The various resources and racial specialties received were almost too numerous to count!
And most of these sold base planets were still stored in the Minghe!
They would no longer drift or change!
In other words, with this auction, the final ranking of the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle was almost decided!
The remaining base planets were basically in the hands of the Bose and Silicon clans!
Any further changes would only happen between the two clans, not affecting the other races!
Those races now couldn't grab any even if they tried, and they didn't need to defend any either!
They had suddenly become like salted fish without dreams; there was no need to fight anymore!
Go home, lie flat, and wait for the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle to end!
Jiangnan's dominance was not just talk!
He had almost single-handedly decided the outcome of the competition!
After the auction, Jiangnan's face was glowing red!
(红ಡ‿ಡ) "No more selling! No more selling! Any more would be impolite! Everyone, go home. If you're bored, interact with each other, promote peaceful development in the starry sky, and so on, haha!"
(งಡ◊ಡ)ว "Why bother fighting and killing? Elbow～Let's go home and count the money. I guess it'll keep me busy until the end of the competition! Woo hoo hoo hoo～"
Everyone looked at Jiangnan with speechless eyes!
He really made out like a bandit!
The resources that should have been burned up in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle were all burned into Jiangnan's hands!
Qian Li was full of disgust. With Jiangnan messing things up, the originally fierce offensive and defensive battle couldn't be fought anymore!
What was the point of collecting Realm Source Energy? At least before, when they fought the Angels, a lot of people died, which counted as doing something good!
But this didn't mean the war was over; it wasn't finished yet!
Just as Jiangnan was about to go home, he suddenly stopped!
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Oh, by the way! One more thing! Is this Star Light City up for contracting? I'm selling this too! If you buy it, I can approve a commercial zone in the Lost Kingdom for you to do business!"
"You can't lose money on this! Who wants to take over? I still have quite a few second-hand positions. Does anyone want them? If you can't use them this time, you can use them next session!"
"Hey hey hey～Don't go! Buy a bit more!"
But the leaders of each faction all tightened their belts and gritted their teeth as they left the negotiation zone!
They were afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would have to pawn their underwear to Jiangnan!
This wave cost too much; they really needed to take a good breather!
Jiangnan, who still wanted to make another profit, was dragged back to the position by Yang Jian!
Let them go; they really couldn't afford to buy anymore!
After the auction, the Carbon Alliance really had nothing to do!
They just played billiards, kicked soccer, and finished the semifinals and finals!
Gangyu Star, who had "participated" in two matches, still had to rush off to be a light ball; it was so busy!
The Bose clan didn't stay idle when they returned either!
Although they had recovered some point difference through the auction, they were still a little behind the Silicon clan!
Fighting the Carbon Alliance was hopeless, so they only had one path left!
That was to go after the Silicon clan!
Against the Silicon clan's fortress-like position, there was nothing to plan!
Any trickery was useless; they could only attack head-on!
After replenishing their troops, the four major factions of the Bose clan gathered!
They marched on the Silicon clan's position and launched a full-scale general offensive!
Servant species, slave species, Star Gathering Pearls, complete sets of large-scale attack spell arrays!
They even brought out more than one type of Eternal Ancient Treasure!
Such as the Silence Divine Bell, the Rusted Sword, the Ancient Sacrificial Altar, and even the 4D Celestial Orb made with the Bose Star as the core!
Each one was a devastatingly powerful weapon!
At this moment, on the deck of the Minghe luxury cruise ship, Jiangnan and the other Carbon Alliance members were having a picnic!
Some were playing Landlord, some mahjong, some gaming!
Others, like Jiangnan, were watching the action while eating!
(◦･༥･´◦) "I have to say, when the Bose clan fights seriously, they've got some skills. How many do you think they'll grab in the end?"
Everyone's mouths twitched. Pfft, some skills!
They were the starry sky overlord!
Their ability to conquer was undeniably top-tier in the starry sky. Against any one of the myriad races, they had an absolute advantage!
Even though the Silicon clan had many countermeasures, if the Bose clan truly went all out,
The Silicon clan would have to give way!
Zhang San's mouth twitched: "I don't know how many planets the Bose clan can grab!"
"What I do know is that they're about to fall into a pit!"
"Boom!"
Just as the Bose army was fighting fiercely, a weapons depot in the Silicon clan's position erupted with an unparalleled violent explosion!
No one knew how many forbidden weapons simultaneously blossomed. The dazzling cyan light directly illuminated the Sea of Star Embers battlefield!
Engulfing large numbers of Bose warriors!
Then the terrifying energy was absorbed by the manufactured black hole. As the black holes merged, another devastatingly powerful flare occurred!
Scattered Bose bodies tumbled out of the 4D space. Many were missing limbs; they looked utterly pathetic!
Tianli cursed loudly:
(▼皿▼#) "You old shady bastard! This one is fake? You..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish, another cluster of sesame-sized bomb hidden in a fake storage spot exploded, taking out another wave of Bose warriors!
(▼ཀ▼#) "Pfft～Still fake? Silicon! How many decoys and traps did you make?"
The Shadow Warrior expressionlessly:
[┐≖_≖┌] "You'll know once you've stepped on all of them!"
Tianli gritted his teeth. Because of Innocent's precedent, they hadn't even gone near the core area!
And they still fell for it?
Only when they actually attacked did he become more convinced that no one could sneak into the Silicon clan's position and take away so many base planets without being discovered!
Jiangnan watched gleefully. Good thing he hadn't taken the dirty money, or else where would he get to watch such a good show?
Let the Bose clan jump into the pits one by one!
"All Bose warriors, activate the Apocalypse race ability! Precognition to check if there are pits!"
"Silicon clan position! Initiate atomic disturbance! Seal off the Whisper of the Divine..."
