Chapter 1093 (2/2)

“Looks like we’re in the right place,” said Nine Nether.

She then turned to look at Mu Chen with a smile. Although she did not know why these people were gathering here, she knew that it must have something to do with the Ancient Celestial Palace.

“Let’s wait for Bai Lao and the rest to return. I’m sure he will have some updates for us.” Mu Chen nodded. Mu Chen and Nine Nether did not have to wait for very long, as Bai Lao and Tan Qiu came back just two hours later.

“I believe you’ve noticed the gathering of the various Supreme Talents in the West City, right?” Bai Lao was smiling.

Mu Chen nodded and asked, “Did you both find out why they came here?”

Tan Qiu, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, “Yes, we heard that there was a team that went deep into the Land of the Far West via a space crack. However, half of the team died. It was the surviving half that just got back today.”

“Did they get anything in return for their troubles?” Mu Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Tan Qiu nodded gently. “Yes. We heard that one of the items was quite unique. The team said that a spiritual energy windstorm was triggered in the palace when they chanced upon it. More than a dozen of their teammates got squashed into a pool of blood by that windstorm. Most likely, that item that they spoke of was an important thing from the Ancient Celestial Palace.”

“What is it, then?” Mu Chen asked.

“I heard it was a token amulet,” said Bai Lao.

“A token amulet?” Mu Chen repeated the words, then turned to meet Nine Nether’s gaze.

The expression in their eyes turned solemn. In such an ancient relic, things like token amulets were the most attractive items, as they might be able to unlock something, thus giving them an advantage over others.

“Also, that token amulet had the ancient word ‘Second’ inscribed on it,” Tan Qiu added.

“Second?” Mu Chen was slightly shocked to hear this.

Mandela had said that there were five Hall Masters in the Ancient Celestial Palace. The one they met in the Big Hunting War was the Fourth Hall Master.

Did this so-called Second Token Amulet belong to the Second Hall Master of the palace?

Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether, who nodded at him gently. Apparently, they were both thinking the same thing.

“All of these Supreme Talents from various forces are most likely here for this,” Mu Chen said slowly.

“But, how do we get it?” asked Nine Nether.

She had no idea how she could use the token amulet yet, but she did know that it would be good to obtain it if possible. After all, it would be beneficial to them after they entered the palace!

Bai Lao smiled and replied, “The most proper way would be the auction, where whoever bids the highest price will get it.”

Mu Chen nodded. In this situation, where everyone was wary of each other, there was no fairer way than this method.

“What should we do now?” Tan Qiu asked gently.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged gazes and smiled at the same time. Mu Chen then answered, “Since we are here, we cannot just watch and do nothing. Let’s poke our noses into this tomorrow. If we can keep the token amulet to ourselves, that would be the ideal situation.”

Bai Lao, Tan Qiu, and Lord Stone all nodded in agreement to this plan. Mu Chen then stood up with Nine Nether and walked out of the wine house. As he turned his head in the direction of the central West City, dark clouds were spreading over the area, as if a downpour was fast approaching.
