The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 153: Under the West City, the geniuses gathered!
After half a month,
Tianluo Continent, the land in the extreme west.

West City.

A heavy city located on the edge of the extreme west. Although it is a heavy city, in the past, due to the desolation of the extreme west and the terrifying gale that was enough to tear apart a fifth-grade supreme powerhouse, this city has been seldom visited.

Only some organizations that specialize in hunting exotic beasts or searching for various natural treasures will be stationed here.

However, with the emergence of the ancient heavenly palace in the far west, this ancient city has regained its vitality and vigor.

When Lu Chen and his companions appeared outside the West City, they saw the overwhelming light and shadow, which poured into the ancient city like locusts.

The piercing sound of breaking wind was almost endless, and countless spiritual power fluctuations were rippling from the huge city. The level of prosperity was simply unimaginable.

"There are quite a few people here, and none of them are lower than the Seventh Rank Supreme. It looks like another fierce battle between dragons and tigers. The treasures of the Ancient Heavenly Palace are truly tempting!"

Lu Chen stood on a mountain outside the West City, looking at the crowds of people coming, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Brother Lu, are we going in now?"

Muchen looked at the figures whizzing past, a hint of urgency flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say.

"No rush, I'll make some arrangements first. Hidden Sword, Corpse Mountain, go to the city first to gather information and see which top forces from the Tianluo Continent are coming this time. Come back and report back later."

"As for Demon Sadness, you follow us into the city."

Lu Chen gave an order, then took a step forward, transforming into a stream of light, merging into the overwhelming light and shadow, and flying towards the huge city in the distance.

Seeing this, Muchen and Mo Bei hurriedly followed.

As for the old man Cang Jian and the old ghost from Shi Shan, they looked at each other, and a look of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

The old ghost from the Corpse Mountain said indignantly, "It's us two again who are trying to find out information. How long are you going to endure this kind of depression, old Cang Jian?"

The old man Cang Jian shook his head and said, "It's because we are the weakest. Besides, if you don't want to do this anymore, just leave. Don't try to seduce me."

"I can't even catch a lantern with the monthly offering of 100,000 Supreme Spirit Liquid. Now I'm leaving. Take care of yourself, old ghost!"

After saying that, the old man Hidden Sword pointed with both hands, and the Dragon Slaying Sword behind him emitted a faint spiritual light that enveloped the dragon, and turned into a sword light that flew away.

"Bah! You've been bribed by a divine sword, you short-sighted old bastard!"

Seeing this, the old ghost from the corpse mountain cursed and followed happily, and turned into a stream of light and flew away.

……

After entering the city, Lu Chen and the other two quickly found a popular restaurant to stay in.

As for the old man Cang Jian and the old ghost of Shi Shan, they dispersed to find out the news of the major forces in the west city.

Inside the restaurant,

Lu Chen sat in the corner, with Muchen and Mo Bei sitting on either side of him.

Lu Chen took a sip of Xihan wine, a specialty of Xicheng, and then sat down quietly, listening to the lively noise around him.

"I heard that the Green Lotus Swordsman invited people to a duel yesterday. One against four. Haha, that scene was incredible!"

"One sword! With just one sword, the Green Lotus Swordsman cut off the arms of four eighth-grade supreme beings. His cultivation level must be half a step to the ninth grade!" "Tsk, what are you talking about..."

"The leader of the Northwest Tianlang Village beat a ninth-grade supreme being to death yesterday in the west of the city. His physical cultivation must have already reached the ninth-grade realm..."

……

Information kept pouring into Lu Chen's ears. Lu Chen just listened quietly and secretly memorized the names of some ninth-grade supreme geniuses in his heart.

He exclaimed in his heart, "The Ancient Heavenly Palace is indeed very tempting. This far west land has gathered so many descendants of the top forces on the Tianluo Continent. These people are enough for me to make a fortune."

Boom!

Just as Lu Chen was pondering in secret, he suddenly heard a rumbling and violent spiritual power fluctuation coming from the distant sky.

Lu Chen frowned slightly and looked up. He saw several beams of light flying across the sky outside the restaurant and over the West City.

These lights and shadows all carried majestic and vast fluctuations of spiritual power, and each one was astonishingly imposing. With their arrival, bursts of exclamations were heard in the restaurant.

"That's the Young Master of Qianlong Pavilion, Mu Shan. It's said that he's ranked in the twenties on the Tianluo Continent's Young Powerful Men List."

In the sky, a huge dragon was coiled and roaring. At this moment, above the dragon's head, a man stood with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering in the wind, and the spiritual power around his body made the space vibrate.

"That's the carriage of Xia Hong, the fourth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. He's ranked 20th on the Tianluo Continent's list of young experts. Even he's here..."

High in the sky, a gorgeous golden chariot came flying and then stopped above the West City.

Then, a figure slowly walked out from it. The figure was wearing a golden robe and exuded an air of nobility. His handsome face was slightly pale, and the smile at the corner of his lips had a somewhat evil feeling, which was also very charming.

"Although Xia Hong is not bad, compared to the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty... there is a huge gap."

"Haha, of course. That prince is ranked fourth on the list of young strong men. He is much stronger than Xia Hong."

"Look, even Miss Qin Ya from Tianya Tower is here. Tianya Tower sells intelligence and is well-informed. Even she's here in person. It seems something big is happening in West City."

The next person who appeared was a woman in a red dress. She had a quiet and beautiful face, but a very hot body. Her every frown and smile was full of charming charm.

"What else could it be? It's nothing more than Xihan Sect organizing an auction here."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder, the Xihan Sect is the top power in the Western Regions. The auction they organized must be extraordinary, right?"

"The Xihan Sect has been operating in this impoverished place for many years, so they must have quite a few valuable treasures. No wonder so many talented people from powerful factions have come here..."

Lu Chen silently listened to the discussions in the restaurant, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Xihan Sect? The top power in the Western Regions, it's not surprising that they possess the Nine-Transformation Azure Lotus. I just don't know if this sect has any other rare items that can help break through the realm. If so, I can make some plans in the Heavenly Palace."

At this moment, a familiar call suddenly came to Lu Chen's ears.

"Brother Lu, they are back."

Lu Chen came back to his senses and turned around to see that the two people he had sent out to gather intelligence, the old man Cang Jian and the old ghost of Shi Shan, had returned.

Immediately, the old ghost from the Corpse Mountain looked at him with a smirk and handed him a golden scroll.

"Palace Master, this is the list of young strongmen in Tianluo Continent. Please take a look."
