Chapter 1978: Chapter 1978: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, the Oriole Follows_1 Chapter 1978: Chapter 1978: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, the Oriole Follows_1 Hearing this, Ethan Smith's eyes lit up with curiosity as he looked towards the array platform.

Although it was called a sanctum, it was actually very small, only the size of a well cover.

But it was this tiny platform that carried the cultivation and enlightenment of countless ancestors. Only heaven knows how terrifying the dao techniques were left on it.

Ethan Smith walked towards the platform, asking as he walked, “Prince, have you ever stepped on this sanctum?”

The Prince laughed and said, “Of course, not just me, but people from the Nine Great Families have also sat there in meditation, yet they never gained anything from it. Gradually it fell into disuse and turned into this deserted state.”

This raised Ethan's expectations.

How could the place where each generation of royals had their enlightenment have no gains? If he could gain something from it, the improvement would be unimaginable!

Just as Ethan planned to sit down cross-legged, an attendant came running over hastily.

“Prince, someone wants to see you outside,” the attendant said, bowing.

The Prince's brows furrowed slightly, asking, “Who is it?”

“The person claims to be from the Green family,” the attendant replied.

The Prince fell silent for a moment before he sighed, “This day was bound to come.”

Ethan also sensed something was wrong, but this time it was probably not related to him.

“Let's go,” the Prince said.

Ethan quickly followed and said, “I'll go with you.”

The Prince waved his hand, “No need, you stay.”

“Let's go together. I don't have much of a relationship with the Green family anyway,” Ethan said.

Seeing this, the Prince said no more, and the two followed the attendant to the Great Hall.

There were dozens of people standing in the hall, led by two elderly men. These elders had strong energy and an extremely domineering demeanor.

Those behind them, on the other hand, had cold expressions and held divine weapons in their hands.

“Greetings to the Prince of Holmes. I am the Green Family's Law Enforcement Commander and have been ordered by the leader of the Green family to come to Sky City,” said one of the elderly men emotionlessly, taking a step forward.

The Prince laughed, “I wonder what Chief Green has in mind?”

Chief Green said coldly, “A few days ago, a foreign race invaded and stole the treasure from the auction. The family leader is very concerned about your safety, so he sent us to protect you.”

The Prince was already mentally prepared, and he calmly laughed, saying, “Please tell the leader of the Green family that I appreciate his kindness, but it is not necessary. My royal family has its own means of protection, and there is no need for the Green leader to worry.”

Chief Green sneered, stepped forward, and said, “Let me stay with you. If anything happens to the Prince, it would be a tragedy for the Central Province.”

After saying this, he waved his hand without waiting for the Prince's disagreement, and the dozens of people immediately scattered and took positions.

Obviously, they did not care about the Prince's words. Whether the Prince agreed or not, they would choose to stay.

The Prince remained silent, showing no emotion on his face.

Ethan sighed softly in the side.

What the fuck, it seems that the royal family is really on the verge of extinction!

“Let's go,” the Prince said as he stood up.

Ethan frowned and asked, “Are we just going to let them stay?”

“What else?” the Prince bitterly laughed, “I'm already grateful to be alive in my current state.”

Ethan opened his mouth but did not know what to say in the moment.

“This is just the beginning. Before long, Sky City will be completely abolished, and the royal family will eventually become history,” the Prince said with a sad and painful look on his face.

No one would like to see their own aristocratic family fall, and such a significant emotional gap was hard to accept.

But the Prince had no choice, and Ethan had no choice either.

Sky City, a small town located thousands of stars away.

This town was so small that there wasn't even a cultivator in sight.

However, at this moment, several people were drinking and making merry in the town.

“I must say, you do have some skill,” an old man said indifferently.

This old man was none other than Adam Graham, the master of the auction.

Adam Graham was responsible for the Prince on the surface, but in reality, he was an affiliate of the Nine Great Families.

The young man sitting opposite him had a smile on his face, looking quite complacent.

He was also a familiar face to Ethan: Marc Fraley!

The entire plan was proposed by Marc Fraley!

At this moment, he said somewhat proudly, “It's just a minor trick.”

“Your deceitful cunning truly makes us admire you,” the people nearby chimed in.

Marc Fraley didn't care. Such a trick was nothing to him.

“Now that all the treasures have been collected by us, someone else is taking the blame, and the great families can successfully ban Sky City, killing three birds with one stone,” Marc held up his glass and said smugly.

“Indeed, after this incident, the prestigious status of Sky City will slowly fade,” Adam Graham commented indifferently.

“By the way, we owe it to that mysterious person from the demon race. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had such a great opportunity,” another young man mentioned with a slight laugh.

Marc snorted coldly and said, “Let him take the blame. Anyway, no one can prove it!”

Having said this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

But little did they know that at this very moment, a mysterious person stealthily appeared in the city.

He sneaked all the way to the treasure's hiding place and then used a secret technique to conceal himself.

This secret technique was considered the best in the whole Holy Region!

“Damn, that's a lot of babes,” the sleazy cultivator kept licking his lips.

“If it had been at the auction, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get my hands on them, but heaven sent me such a chance.”

After saying that, he didn't waste any time, frantically putting the treasures into his Spatial Magic Artifact.

Soon, all the treasures disappeared into his possession.

“Tsk tsk, I'm so clever. This is called the mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind,” he said with a grin.

This man was none other than the man with the mustache.

Where there were treasures, his figure could be found.

Among these auction items, there happened to be something he needed.

He was looking for an opportunity to steal it but didn't expect to find a surprise bounty.

Having secured the treasures, the man with the mustache lasciviously left a message at the scene: “I've taken care of these dirty things for you guys. Don't ask me who I am, I don't leave a name when I do good deeds!”

Having done all this, the man with the mustache blinked a few times and disappeared from sight.

When Marc Fraley and the others discovered this situation, their faces turned red with anger.
