The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 811: Opening the City (1)

Shen Yanxiao did not know that her seemingly casual decision had laid a firm foundation for the Demons Guild that would shake the entire Brilliance Continent in the future. In the future, the Demons Guild would rise above any other guild in the continent. Even the God Wind Alliance would not dare to go against them.

The news of the completion of Sun Never Sets spread like wildfire throughout the Longxuan Empire with the help of the five great families. The other three countries in the Brilliance Continent also received the news one after another.

At the news, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

It had always been known that the Longxuan Empire had not been able to gain a foothold in the Forsaken Land. Moreover, it had only been half a year since the end of the Inter-academy tournament. How could they be able to finish constructing a city in half a year’s time?

Furthermore, the city they were invited to was Sun Never Sets, one of the five main cities in the Forsaken Land.

This news had genuinely puzzled people all over the continent. Was the Longxuan Empire deliberately releasing fake news just to save their dying reputation?

No one could accept the fact that a tough nut that they had gnawed on for hundreds of years had suddenly been swallowed.

However, it did not seem like the news was false.

Although the completion of Sun Never Sets could be faked, the auction at the Phantom Auction House could not. If the city was really not completed and the auction house was a lie, it would be exposed the moment it was opened. No one would be stupid enough to tell a lie that would immediately be found out.

All the forces in the Brilliance Continent were puzzled.

The Emperor of the Longxuan Empire was also puzzled.

He had personally assigned Sun Never Sets to Shen Yanxiao, and he knew better than anyone else what the state of the city had been like when he assigned it to Shen Yanxiao. Additionally, he had not given her any support at all. Furthermore, the city was filled with demons. With the given circumstances, it should be impossible for anyone to finish building a city.

However, this news came along with the Phantom Auction House’s catalogue.

The Emperor felt depressed. He had tried everything he could to thoroughly suppress Shen Yanxiao. But what kind of monster was Shen Yanxiao? She managed to conquer a city in only half a year under such harsh conditions.

It was basically a giant slap to his face. All the elites that he had offered his assistance to over the years had returned in failure, and yet Shen Yanxiao, who was the only one that he had deliberately made things difficult for, succeeded in the most vindictive way possible.

Although he rejoiced that the Longxuan Empire had finally gained a foothold in the Forsaken Land, he felt aggrieved that he had deliberately made things difficult for Shen Yanxiao.

At that moment, the prince and the state teacher were detained in Sun Never Sets. It could be said that the relationship between the Emperor and Shen Yanxiao was not harmonious at all. However, since the city was successfully built, as the Emperor, he had to show his appreciation.

However, he still felt stifled.

It would have been much better if it was someone else. Why was that little girl so heaven-defying?

He had caused Shen Yanxiao a lot of trouble in the past. Even if Sun Never Sets was completed, he was not really thick-skinned enough to go there and face her.

The four countries had a clear attitude towards the Forsaken Land. The city lords who were assigned to the Forsaken Land had absolute autonomy over their city. However, although their nationality was still the same, they, as their rulers, had absolutely no control over what went on in the cities.

If the city lords were happy, they would be friendly with their home country, and together they would enjoy resources together. If they were unhappy, they would occupy that mountain of gold and rule it for themselves, and there was nothing they, as their rulers, could do anything about it.

The Emperor could feel a migraine incoming. If he had known earlier, he would not have acted so unfavourably towards Shen Yanxiao. If he had known that the little girl from the Vermilion Bird Family was so heaven-defying, he would not have cared if she was a Warlock. Instead, he should have supported her with everything he got. In the end, it was all Shen Duan’s fault for coming to him and giving him such a stupid idea. Yes, it was all his fault.
