Swallowed Star: Starting from King Zhenyan

Chapter 4: Baiting for Hongmeng City Auction Quota
In a plane of space specially opened up in the virtual universe.

A huge ancient city is suspended above the vast starry sky, with countless bright stars surrounding the ancient city layer by layer with it as the core.

The majestic atmosphere and the beautiful scenery appear simultaneously in one scene at this moment.

This is the base camp of Hongmeng, the 'Hongmeng City' where countless powerful people live!
Hongmeng City is a gathering place for the alliance of humans and a large number of alien races, and it is full of powerful people!
There is a strict hierarchy here, and status is determined based on strength and contribution, and is divided into star levels.

Starting from one star, up to seven stars.

One to three stars are considered kings, four to six stars are considered cosmic masters.

Among them, four stars is the most basic level of the Universe Master, and even an invincible king like King Zhen Yan can be classified as four stars.

The Seven Stars are the most initial level of the Lord of the Universe, and some top overlords of the universe can also be classified into this level.

Every strong man in Hongmeng City has a star mark on his arm guard or cuff that symbolizes strength and status.

Simple, intuitive and clear at a glance.

Hongmeng City is divided into the outer city, inner city and Hongmeng Palace.

The powerful kings whose strength is divided into one star to three stars all live in the outer city.

The strong ones whose strength is classified as four to six stars live in the inner city.

As for the seven-star strongmen?
They all live in the Hongmeng Palace.

...

Sun Hou walked out of his residence in the inner city of Hongmeng City and headed towards the outer city.

That's the downside of living in the inner city.

There are too few residents in the inner city and it is too deserted, and most of Sun Hou’s friends live in the outer city. Every time he has a party, he has to first teleport to his residence in the inner city and then go to the outer city.

In Hongmeng City, the outer city area is the most prosperous and lively area.

The population of the outer city exceeds 300 million, and they are distributed in different communities with a population of .

Hmm...it looks a lot like a residential area on Earth.

Sun Hou came to an open space in the outer city with a strange look on his face.

Some powerful kings were gathered here in groups of three or four, drinking and chatting with each other.

Sun Hou glanced around, found a few familiar friends in the crowd, and walked straight towards them.

As the distance shortened, the voices of several people's undisguised conversation could be heard clearly.

"Have you heard? Venerable Galen of the demon race is now searching for Zhen Yan like crazy in the outer battlefield."

"As a Universe Venerable, I chased Zhen Yan from the third battlefield to the seventh battlefield, but I still couldn't do anything to him. My face is like being stepped on by Zhen Yan. If it were me, I would go crazy too."

"To be able to escape from the hands of the Universe Master, Zhen Yan is really strong!"

"It's Zhen Yan."

"Zhen Yan is here."

"Zhenyan!"

While they were chatting, they saw Sun Hou and stood up enthusiastically to greet him.

The star marks on the arm guards of several people are all three stars.

The four star marks on Sun Hou's arm guard stood out among the others.

Sun Hou greeted a few people with a smile, then picked up a glass of strong liquor from the open-air bar next to him and sat down among the group.

"What are you talking about? I think I heard my name mentioned just now."

Sun Hou took a sip of the wine in the glass and asked a few people with a smile.

Several people looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"I was just talking about you and Venerable Galen."

"Lord Galen? Just wait, I will knock his head off sooner or later."

Sun Hou's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was cold and stern.

When the people around saw this, they were puzzled by Zhen Yan's tone at first, but then they thought of the specific reason why Venerable Garen was hunting down Lord Sun, and they were relieved.

In their view, the only thing between Zhen Yan, who was already an invincible king, and the Venerable was his understanding of the laws of space.

As long as he can fully comprehend the laws of space, Zhen Yan might be able to directly break through and become the Lord of the Universe.

With the invincible strength of Feng Wang, Zhen Yan must be stronger than Venerable Galen. At that time, the roles of the pursuer and the pursued will be reversed.

And as luck would have it, the secret realm of the corridor could just help King Feng Immortal comprehend the laws.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Zhen Yan comes out of the Ring Corridor Secret Realm, it will be a foregone conclusion that he will break through and become the Lord of the Universe.

No wonder Zhen Yan didn't take Venerable Garen seriously.

When several people thought of this, their hearts were moved.

One entrance secret symbol contains five places to enter the secret realm of the corridor.

Apart from Zhen Yan himself, Long Yu and Tong Nan, there are still two spots left.

So, maybe they can use monetary resources to buy the remaining two spots?
Thinking of this, their gazes towards Zhen Yan became even more passionate.

At this time, a human man with a silver rhino horn on his head and silver-white skin gave Sun Hou a thumbs up.

"No doubt about it, Zhen Yan, you are this!"

As he spoke, he threw a bottle of fine wine with golden light in it to Zhen Yan.

"Just because you risked your life to save Longyu and Tongnan from the hands of Venerable Galen, I, Yinxi, am convinced by you!"

"I'll treat you to this drink!"

The people present here are all Zhen Yan’s close friends.

This time, when Longyu and Tongnan were in life-and-death crisis, Zhenyan was able to risk his life to save them.

Then next time, when they are in life-and-death crisis, Zhen Yan will be able to risk his life to save them.

Who would have too many close friends who are willing to risk their lives for you?!
Sun Hou's eyes lit up, he took the bottle and opened the cork, and a rich, mellow aroma of wine wafted out of the bottle.

Just by smelling the alcohol, several people present felt a slight sense of euphoria in their souls.

"Xujinzui, this is a good wine. This wine is not cheap. Even in the virtual universe, this wine has to be sold for 25 billion Hunyuan units!"

"How generous, Yinxi, where did you make such a fortune?"

Sun Hou, who had perfectly integrated the wine with King Zhen Yan, naturally knew the price of the wine from King Zhen Yan's memory.

Sun Hou filled his own glass first, and then filled the glasses of several others.

Everyone clinked their glasses and drank the drinks in their glasses.

After three rounds of drinking, the Silver Rhino King suddenly seemed to remember something. He put down his glass and asked:
"By the way, Zhenyan, has your divine body recovered?"

"Yes, after spending a lot of resources, I finally fully restored the divine body."

"So when do you plan to go to the Ring Corridor Secret Realm?"

"After Longyu and Tongnan have recovered their divine bodies."

"Then..." The Silver Rhino King seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Are you going to ask about the remaining two places?" Sun Hou chuckled.

"That's right." The Silver Rhino King nodded. "Not only me, but everyone here probably wants to know how to deal with the remaining two places."

Their conversation was not concealed at all. Several good friends, including those who were farther away, heard the conversation between the two and looked at Sun Hou.

At this time, Sun Hou stood up, glanced at the crowd, and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, I believe you all know how I got the secret entrance symbol in my hand."

Having said this, he paused and noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Because of this, Longyu, Tongnan and I almost died!"

"So, I discussed with Longyu and Tongnan and decided that the remaining two spots will be sold by auction, and the highest bidder will get them."

After saying this, Sun Hou's mind flashed with the ugly figure who not only did not help him when he was being hunted by Venerable Garen, but also secretly obstructed him.

An irrepressible murderous urge surged in his heart.

"Yuliang, the secret entrance symbol has been delivered to your mouth. Do you want to eat it or not..."
