When the next morning arrived, the Western City was already in an uproar. Due to the commotion caused by the gathering of the geniuses and the mysterious token from the Ancient Haven Palace, it had immediately attracted a great deal of attention.
The experts that were gathered in the Far West were all here for the Ancient Haven Palace's ruins. With the chaotic space in the Far West, no one dared to barge in. Thus, they had all been waiting for an opportunity. So everyone would definitely be interested in the mysterious token from the Ancient Haven Palace at this moment.
Most of them knew that there were already many powerful factions eyeing that mysterious token. Logically speaking, they did not have the ability to fight for it. However, everyone still hoped that they could get lucky. What if a pie fell from the sky and smashed onto their heads?
That was a great opportunity that he might be able to rise in the future and become an influential figure in the Greatlaw Continent, commanding the winds and clouds and attracting the attention of tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, with this mentality, when the second day arrived, there were already countless whooshing sounds resounding in the western part of the city. Figures covered the sky and covered the land as they whistled towards the central region of the city.
There was an ancient auction house in the central region of the city that had been empty for years. But today, it was activated once again. Furthermore, the popularity wasn't any weaker than the auctions in the Greatlaw Continent.
In the centre of the city, there was an ancient auction house. In the past, this place had always been empty, but today, it was being used once again. Furthermore, the popularity wasn't any inferior to the auctions in the Greatlaw Continent.
The auction house was split into three levels. The lowest level was the ordinary region, and the higher the level, the better the view. Furthermore, the decorations were also more luxurious and comfortable. At the same time, one could overlook the entire place.
At this moment, Mu Chen, Jiu You and the rest had already arrived on the third level. He gently patted the blanket that was made from the fur of the Fire Ice Mink. Sitting on it, he felt as if he was sinking into it, it was extremely comfortable.
These arrangements were obviously Tan Qiu's handiwork. Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Having someone by his side to serve him was indeed more comfortable than wandering around alone. If it was him, he wouldn't have thought of such a comprehensive plan.
"Who's in charge of the auction?
Are they from those guys who appeared yesterday? "
Mu Chen asked casually. If the person in charge of the auction house was one of those guys, then he had to be more cautious.
Upon hearing that, Old White hurriedly replied, "The one hosting the auction is a local power that isn't too strong. They aren't from the peak powers of Grand Xia. Hehe, no one wants to let the other party host the auction, in case they fall into a trap. Hence, they recommended this local power to be more at ease."
Only then did Mu Chen nod lightly.
Just as Mu Chen and Old White were conversing, the atmosphere in the auction house suddenly surged. Mu Chen swept his gaze around and saw several groups of people entering the auction house.
These groups of people all exuded an extraordinary aura. At the head of the group, there were four figures slowly walking forward. The four figures were none other than the fourth prince of the Xia Empire, Xia Hong, Mu Shan of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Jiang Yunling of the Sword Celestial Sect, and Qin Ya of the Horizon Tower.
The four of them were the geniuses of the Greatlaw Continent's younger generation, and they were also ranked on the Younger Generation Ranking. The moment they appeared, they naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Hehe, everyone, this time around, my Grand Xia Empire is determined to obtain that token no matter what. If you are willing to sell me some face, my Grand Xia Empire will remember this favor."
The Fourth Prince of the Xia Empire, Xia Hong, looked at the countless silhouettes in the pavilion before he turned around and smiled towards the other three beside him.
But hearing his words, the Young Pavilion Master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Mu Shan grinned. "Why don't I pay you 5,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, and you don't have to compete with us. My Hidden Dragon Pavilion will remember this favour."
There was undisguised ridicule in his laughter. Although the Xia Empire was the Overlord of the Eastern Domain, it was thousands of miles away from his Hidden Dragon Pavilion. So he naturally wouldn't have any fear.
Qin Ya of the Horizon Tower covered her rosy mouth and smiled elegantly as she watched the two people fighting. As for Jiang Yunling of the Sword Celestial Sect, he was holding a three-foot-long sword in his hand. He was expressionless, as if he had not heard the conversation between Xia Hong and Mu Shan.
Xia Hong smiled with his eyes narrowed as he looked at Mu Shan. "Since that's the case, then I hope that Young Pavilion Master Mu has brought enough Sovereign Spiritual Liquid today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't be bothered to continue being entangled with Mu Shan, and he turned his gaze towards Qin Ya who wore a red dress and had a beautiful face, but her large and watery eyes were rippling with a watery glow and faintly revealed a trace of delicate charm. He said with a smile, "Qin Ya, are you willing to watch this auction with me?"
"Haha, we're all competitors, so it would be awkward if we're together." Qin Ya chuckled as she rejected Xia Hong's invitation and gracefully ascended the pavilion by herself.
Xia Hong wasn't bothered by her rejection. He raised his head and looked at Qin Ya's silhouette with flames flickering in the depths of his eyes, before returning to normal and followed up with a smile.
Halfway through the pavilion, Xia Hong suddenly sensed that Qin Ya's body had stopped. When he raised his head, he saw the latter looking in another direction with astonishment.
Following that direction, he squinted his eyes. That's because that direction belonged to Mu Chen and Jiu You, whom he had met yesterday.
"What's wrong?
Big Sister Qin Ya knows them? "
Xia Hong asked in a low voice. The Horizon Pavilion had a lot of information, so Qin Ya should know about those unfamiliar experts.
Qin Ya briefly pondered before she smiled, "If I have not guessed wrongly, those two should be from the Great Heaven Domain of the Northern Region. It's said that there are two new Emperors in the Great Heaven Domain, Emperor Mu and Emperor Jiu You. I feel that they should be the two of them."
"Northern Region?
Great Heaven Domain?
You're really overestimating yourself. "
Xia Hong was stunned before a ridiculing smile rose on the corner of his lips. The Northern Region could only be considered a remote corner of the Greatlaw Continent. Furthermore, there were endless disputes in the Northern Region, and there had never been an Overlord like their Xia Empire. As for the Great Heaven Domain, it wasn't too famous.
But when he saw that brat disrespecting him yesterday, he thought that the brat must have a powerful background. So it turned out that it was just the Great Heaven Domain.
The corner of Qin Ya's eyes saw the ridiculing smile on the corner of Xia Hong's lips and her gaze flickered. Judging from the looks of it, Xia Hong seemed to have some grudges with the two new Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain?
But clearly, Xia Hong had no idea that although there wasn't an Overlord in the Northern Region, the Great Heaven Domain had already stood out. Although their foundation might be inferior to the Xia Empire, the Domain Ruler of the Great Heaven Domain had also stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm and wasn't inferior to the Xia Emperor of the Xia Empire.
If Xia Hong really did anything to the two new Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain, then the Great Havenlaw Ruler would definitely not let this matter rest. At that time, even the Xia Emperor would have a hard time dealing with it, right?
That's good too, since the Xia Empire would have another enemy.
As these thoughts flashed in her heart, Qin Ya smiled as she walked towards another pavilion. Xia Hong, Mu Shan and the rest had also found their own seats to look down on the entire area with servants serving them.
Mu Chen had been paying attention to this group of people, so he had also seen the conversation between Xia Hong and Qin Ya. The former had a mocking smile hanging on the corner of his lips. Thus, he had vaguely understood something after a brief pondering.
"Looks like I've been underestimated." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"This isn't the Northern Region, no one knows of your fame here." Jiu You teased from the side.
"What reputation do I have?" Mu Chen helplessly shook his head. Pausing for a brief moment, he continued, "However, if anyone wants to bully me like a soft persimmon, I'm afraid that they'll have their hands broken."
His casual voice contained the confidence of a towering mountain. All these years, he had been cultivating step by step. Ever since he left Hokuang Reiwon, when he had just refined his Sovereign Celestial Body to the Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, he had encountered too many formidable opponents. But in the end, he still stood firm.
Thus, he was confident that he could face any opponent of the same generation.
It would be fine if Xia Hong was fine, but if he had any ulterior motives, then he wouldn't mind letting him know that he would have to pay a great price for being too arrogant.
When Mu Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Jiu You looking at him in a daze. Thus, he touched his face in puzzlement. "What's wrong?"
Jiu You was also stunned as he looked at Mu Chen, who was emitting a sharp aura, and inwardly sighed. The current him was no longer the tender youth from back then, and his confidence was even greater than before.
He had also grown a lot over the years.
Boom!
Just when Nine Nether was slightly distracted, a bell suddenly rang out in the massive pavilion. The sound of the bell had covered the commotion in the pavilion, causing many people to gradually calm down. Their gazes were blazing as they looked at the huge stage in the centre, where a middle-aged man was ascending the stage.
"I am Han Fei of the Western Frost Sect. Thanks to everyone's love, I will be the host of this auction."
The middle-aged man called Han Fei waved his hand as his voice faded. Behind him, a couple of voluptuous young ladies walked forward with silver trays in their hands.
The silver trays were enveloped in Spiritual Energy barriers that isolated the Spiritual Energy fluctuations within them.
Countless gazes were looking at those silver trays with blazing gazes.
When Han Fei saw this scene, he lightly smiled.
"Since everyone is so impatient, then I will announce the start of the Heavenly Palace Auction."
