In the bustling city, Mu Chen and Xia Hong's gazes clashed with a chill in their eyes. The Spiritual Energy around the two of them fluctuated, but they had quietly retracted it in the end.
Xia Hong slowly retracted his sharp gaze and gave Mu Chen a faint smile. However, there wasn't any warmth in his smile.
Mu Chen had also responded with a smile with a calm expression.
"Haha, the Ancient Haven Palace has truly attracted quite a bit of monsters."
Seeing Mu Chen's indifferent attitude, Xia Hong narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself. He could tell that Mu Chen's strength was at the Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, and he had yet to step into the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm. But even so, Mu Chen did not show any respect for him, which made him feel a little unhappy.
Although he was unhappy, Xia Hong was a shrewd person, so he did not flare up on the spot. After all, judging from Mu Chen and Jiu You's strength, they should have some background. So if he made a move without investigating, it might attract some trouble.
Thus, his gaze flickered before he retracted it. He was prepared to get someone to investigate this matter. If they didn't have any background, then he could make a move. That black-dressed lady was powerful and had a cold bearing. She wasn't just a level higher than the other beauties around him. If he could take her in as his concubine, it would definitely be beneficial to his strength.
Thinking about it, a smile rose on the corner of Xia Hong's lips and he took a deep glance at Mu Chen and Luo Li before waving his hand. The Lightning Lion Spiritual Beast roared as it turned into a bolt of lightning and flew towards another direction of the city with the golden imperial carriage.
"That fellow's gaze is too hateful."
Looking at Xia Hong's departure, Jiu You said with her brows knitted. Although Xia Hong had concealed himself well, her senses were keen and she could sense the dirty thoughts in that fellow's heart.
If it wasn't for the fact that she knew that Xia Hong had a powerful background, she wouldn't have let him off right now.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen said, "Pay more attention to that person.
If he truly harbors ill intentions, even if he is a prince of Grand Xia, we have to make him pay the price. "
Although the foundations of Grand Xia were extremely deep and their strength was unfathomable,
But if he really wanted to take revenge on Jiu You, Mu Chen wouldn't care too much. How many people had he offended over the years?
So what if Grand Xia was added to the equation?
Thinking of this …
Mu Chen and Jiu You changed the topic. However, not long after, rumbling and violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations resounded from the distant horizon. In the next moment, countless people in the city saw several light figures streaking across the sky.
Those silhouettes brought along boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Clearly, they weren't weak. Every single one of them would cause a wave of exclamations to resound in the city.
"That's the young pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.
Mu Shan, it's said that he's ranked in the twenties of the Greatlaw Continent's younger generation. "
Hearing those exclamations, Mu Chen shifted his gaze and saw a massive wyrm roaring in the sky. That wyrm was also a variant that possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. Although it wasn't pure, it could still evolve into a genuine Divine Beast if it's fated.
Hearing those exclamations, Mu Chen shifted his gaze and saw a massive wyrm roaring in the sky.
At this moment, a man stood on the head of the flood dragon with his hands behind his back. His robes fluttered in the wind.
The Spiritual Energy around him caused even space to tremble.
Riding on the flood dragon, the man did not stop and directly flew towards the western part of the city.
"There's also the Sword Saint Sect's Jiang Ling. It's said that he had secluded himself in the Sword Tomb for three years and finally made a breakthrough into the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm."
After Mu Shan, a sword flew over from the Western City.
An azure-clothed man stood on a longsword as he soared through the sky, bringing along a sharp Sword Aura as he flew towards the Western City.
"Tsk, tsk. Even Miss Qin Ya of the Horizon Pavilion has come. The Horizon Pavilion sells information, so they're the most well-informed. Looks like something big is going to happen in the Western City since she has personally come."
The next person that appeared was a woman in a red dress. She had a refined appearance, but her figure was fiery. Every single frown and smile of hers was charming.
Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy around her was restrained. Evidently, there was a treasure that concealed her Spiritual Energy fluctuation, making it impossible for others to probe her, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whizzing sounds of wind resounded in the sky as silhouettes constantly flew over. There weren't any famous figures in the Greatlaw Continent amongst them. This formation had caused the Western City to boil.
This scene lasted for roughly half an hour before it gradually calmed down. However, there were even more undercurrents surging. That's because even a fool would know that something big was about to happen in the Western City.
In the inn, Mu Chen and Jiu You looked at the calming sky and heard the exclamations coming from the surroundings. Their gazes had slightly contracted. With so many young geniuses gathered in the Western City, it looked like something was about to happen.
After all, the various forces in the Greatlaw Continent had their eyes on the extreme west. Because the space in the depths wasn't stable, even Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouses did not dare to enter. Thus, they had sent out their most outstanding youths to gather information about the Ancient Haven Palace.
"Looks like we've come to the right place." Jiu You looked at Mu Chen and smiled. Although he had no idea why all of them were gathered here, it must definitely be related to the Ancient Haven Palace.
"Let's wait for Old Bai and the rest to return. I believe they will bring back some information."
Mu Chen nodded his head. At this moment, the inn was in an uproar and everyone was puzzled. Clearly, they wouldn't be able to obtain any accurate information.
They did not have to wait for a long time. Roughly an hour later, Old Bai and Tan Qiu had returned.
"Haha, the two of you must have noticed the geniuses that have gathered in the Western City, right?" Old Bai chuckled.
Mu Chen nodded his head. "Have the two of you found out the reason?"
Tan Qiu said with a smile, "I did find out a little. It's said that some time ago, a small team took the risk of sneaking into a spatial rift in the depths of the Far West. After paying the price of half of the team's casualties, they managed to escape today."
"Did they have any gains?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. Others wouldn't care about the casualties of that team. If that team didn't have any gains, then they wouldn't have come all the way here.
Tan Qiu nodded her head. "I've heard that they have obtained something. Furthermore, it's said that one of them is extremely unique. That team said that when they obtained that item, it had actually caused a Spiritual Energy storm in the Ancient Haven Palace. Over a dozen of their companions were instantly turned into blood. I believe that item must be extremely important in the Ancient Haven Palace."
"Just what is that thing?" Mu Chen muttered.
"It seems to be a token." Old Bai replied.
"Token?"
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance and their gazes turned a little more solemn. In this ancient ruin, something like a token was the most attractive. That's because no one knew what it could open. Who knows, it might even allow them to obtain a great opportunity and be ahead of others.
"Furthermore, there seems to be the word 'second' engraved on the token." Tan Qiu added.
"Second?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled. Mandala had once mentioned that there were five Hall Masters in the Ancient Haven Palace, and the one that they encountered in the Hunting War was the Fourth Hall Master. Could this so-called second token be related to the Second Hall Master of the Ancient Haven Palace?
Mu Chen looked at Jiu You and saw the latter nodding his head. Evidently, the two of them had the same thoughts.
"Those geniuses must be here for that item." Mu Chen slowly said.
"How will they fight for it?"
Jiu You asked once again. Although he had no idea what use the token had, it's best for them to obtain it if possible. If that's the case, then it would be greatly beneficial for them when they enter the Ancient Haven Palace in the future.
"Haha, how will they fight for it?
Now that so many geniuses have come, we can't possibly fall out with them, right?
If that's the case, then no one will benefit from it, and they're not stupid. "Old Bai smiled.
"So we'll use the most normal method, auction, and the highest bidder wins." Old Bai smiled.
Mu Chen nodded his head. In this situation, with the various parties having misgivings towards each other, they could only use a more fair method. However, as for the ownership of the tokens, and the secret fights that would occur, that was a matter for the future.
"What do the two of you intend to do?" Tan Qiu asked.
Exchanging a glance with Jiu You, Mu Chen smiled. "What else can we do?
Since we've come across it, then we naturally can't ignore it. Let us interfere tomorrow, and it'll be the best outcome if we can obtain it. "
Otherwise, if the Ancient Haven Palace's token fell into the hands of others, there would definitely be people who would be unwilling to accept it and seize the opportunity to fight for it. They could also see if there's a chance.
Old Bai, Tan Qiu, and the Stone Emperor nodded their heads, expressing that they had no objections.
Mu Chen gently nodded his head before he stood up with Jiu You and walked out of the inn. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Western City, which was gradually covered in black clouds, as if a storm was brewing.
Looking in that direction, Mu Chen lightly smiled and strode out.
Tomorrow, he would let a nameless person from the Northern Region witness the splendour of the Greatlaw Continent's geniuses. He hoped that he wouldn't be disappointed.
