Chapter 229 (2/2)

The moment that object came out, Mu Chen felt brilliant rays of light as they rushed forth in the eyes of the three major forces. The grey-robed elder next to the white-robed youth hadn’t moved at all, until this point, but now, even he was tightly focused.

Mu Chen followed their eyes back to the stage and saw a jade rod appear in Bi Sheng’s hand, roughly 2 inches long. The surface of the rod seemed to be decorated with a barely visible engraving of a white dragon in flight. On the head of that dragon was the vague impression of a person sitting cross-legged.

The moment this White Dragon Jade Dowel appeared, it started to vibrate. As powerful lights were emitted, what seemed to be the mournful cries of a dragon tore through the hall. It was a misery too strong for words, like a tsunami bearing down upon them.

The misery quickly permeated the hall. Within a few moments, everyone’s faces were white, as if their Spiritual Energies had stopped flowing. The pressure was filling them with a dread born from the pits of their hearts.

What is this?!

What terrifying pressure!

Cries of alarm rose and fell. Everyone eyed the White Dragon Jade Dowel with shaken hearts. Was this the last item left for the end of the auction?

“What is that?” Su Ling’er also watched with curiosity. Something that surprised her had finally appeared in this auction.

Under such spiritual pressure, Su Xuan’s lovely eyes also stared at the White Dragon Jade Dowel. She lightly said, “I’m afraid this item probably belonged to a Sovereign.”

“A Sovereign?!”

Mu Chen, Guo Xiong, and Li Qing felt light jolts in their hearts upon hearing those words. An item left behind by a Sovereign? Such a treasure actually made its appearance here?

“Haha. Ladies and Gentlemen, this White Dragon Jade Dowel was discovered in the depths of White Dragon Hillock. We have concluded that this White Dragon Jade Dowel was most probably left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign who fell several hundred years ago in White Dragon Hillock.” Bi Sheng said as he lifted the White Dragon Jade Dowel with great caution.

“The White Dragon Sovereign?!”

The entire auction was shocked. Countless eyes had turned red. As everyone knew, among the experts who’d fallen in the White Dragon Hillock, the White Dragon Sovereign was the most famous. Back then, the White Dragon Sovereign was an extremely powerful existence, even for the entire Northern Heavens Continent. However, no one had ever managed to obtain his inheritance after his death. But now, it’s finally been discovered?

An item left behind by a Sovereign was more than enough to make them go crazy with greed.

Recently, there had been a rise in the level of abnormal activity in the depths of White Dragon Hillock. It only took a little thinking for everyone to understand that these were signs that a Spirit Treasury was emerging. Furthermore, the White Dragon Dowel had appeared with amazing timing. It was highly likely that this new Spirit Treasury might be the one left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign. The information bomb that Bi Sheng had tossed instantly exploded in the auction house. Countless breaths grew heavier.

A lot of people had already noticed the abnormalities in the depths of White Dragon Hillock; however, even if they knew that a Spirit Treasury was about to appear, most of them thought it would only be an ordinary Spirit Treasury. Therefore, most people didn’t think too much about it and only focused on trying their luck out there. After all, there were many Spiritual Treasuries that would periodically emerge in White Dragon Hillock. Most of those were ordinary, anyways. However, now, it looked like this new Spirit Treasury might be the one left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign. Wouldn’t that be a Sovereign Spirit Treasury?

There were huge differences between Spirit Treasury of that level and ordinary ones. It was enough to shake the entire White Dragon Hillock.

Mu Chen’s group also exchanged looks as chaos broke out around them.

“Didn’t the information say it’d be a Wealthy Spirit Treasury? How’d it turn into a Sovereign Spirit Treasury?” Guo Xiong asked blankly.

Su Xuan also slightly knitted her brows. “It seems that there was a mistake in our information. It’ll be troublesome this time. If it’d been only a Wealthy Spirit Treasury, then our mission would’ve been a smooth one. But, since it’s a Sovereign Spirit Treasury, it’ll probably attract more experts, or even the three major forces. When the time comes, a great battle will be unavoidable.”

Even though their party wasn’t weak, they were still low in numbers. Trying to confront the powerful local forces with only the five of them would be rather difficult. Furthermore, there were still many powerful adventurer teams in White Dragon Hillock. Those people weren’t easy to deal with, either.

“It might not be a genuine Sovereign Spirit Treasury. Who knows, that fat-ass probably just said that to drive up the price,” Su Ling’er muttered.

“That’s possible,” Su Xuan lightly nodded. Then, her charming eyes focused on the White Dragon Jade Dowel on the stage. “We’ll wait and see how the situation plays out.”

Guo Xiong and the rest of them nodded. Right now, that was the only thing they could do.

Mu Chen also directed his attention towards the White Dragon Jade Dowel on the stage and noticed the nervous expression coming from the three major forces. His heart, however, sensed Bi Sheng’s words were probably all true. The Spirit Treasury that’d emerged this time might really be the one left behind by that White Dragon Sovereign.

“It looks like our mission just gained a lot more twists and turns.”
