"This Holy Relic originally belonged to our Church, if we go to the auction, wouldn't it undermine the dignity of our Church?"

The leader of the group, a tall and mighty man with golden hair, said in a deep voice.

"Do you think that Longhua Auction House is just an ordinary auction house?"

"They dare to auction off such a multitude of treasures, naturally, they have the ability to protect them."

"Archbishop Taylor has said, the strength of Longhua Auction House is formidable, and we absolutely cannot become its enemy."

This red-robed elder stated solemnly.

He was one of the red cardinals from the Church, the foremost organization of the Western World.

There are a total of thirty-six red cardinals in the Church, mainly responsible for the daily affairs of the Church.

They are also the Church's top powerhouses, holding extremely high status throughout the Western World.

This time, the Church specially sent a red cardinal to reclaim their lost Holy Relic, the Holy Grail.

"Bishop, I heard that there's a Supreme Treasure being auctioned this time, shall we make a move?"

The golden-haired man spoke up.

"No rush, let's wait and see. Many forces have come this time."

"They will all certainly try to make a move, our primary mission is to retrieve the Holy Grail," said the red-robed cardinal in a somber tone.

"Yes!!!"

All the armor-clad adherents of the Church immediately bowed and responded.

In a civilian house in the East Sea, a group of people dressed in black were also gathered here.

Each of them emanated an invisible killing intent.

They were the powerhouses from Heavenly Net.

Among them were several Black Gold Killers.

The leader was a man with brown hair and an expression cold as ice.

He was one of the Nine Kings of Heavenly Net, simply known as the Heavenly King.

Heavenly Net dispatching one of the Nine Kings this time indicated that there was a significant matter at hand.

"Heavenly King, all personnel have arrived," said one of the Black Gold Killers, looking at the brown-haired Heavenly Net King.

"Remember, at all costs, we cannot let the Primordial Pearl fall into the hands of others again."

"Whether they play it softly or come at us hard, we must take the Primordial Pearl back," the Heavenly King commanded with an icy demeanor, his eyes flashing with a cold murderous intent.

"Understood!!!"

The group of Heavenly Net powerhouses nodded in agreement.

"Heavenly King, do you think the Demon Lord will show up this time?" asked one of the Black Gold Killers.

"For such a grand auction, he should have heard the news. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance he will come," said the Heavenly King.

"This time my master sent me here to seize the opportunity to capture the Demon Lord and retrieve the Primordial Pearl in his possession," the Heavenly King stated coldly.

"Alright, go ahead and make the necessary arrangements," the Heavenly King said with gravity.

"Yes, Your Excellency Heavenly King!!!"

The group bowed in response.

Meanwhile, at the Xiang Family, one of the top three prominent households in the East Sea.

Xiang Fei returned here and came to the entrance of a secret room belonging to the Xiang Family.

"Father!!!"

"There's trouble!!!"

Xiang Fei called out immediately.

After a while, the door of the secret room opened.

Xiang Fei walked straight in.

In this secret room, a few oil lamps were lit, with a stone bed in the center.

A middle-aged man in a long robe was sitting cross-legged there.

There was a somewhat unsettled aura around him.

His face exuded firmness, dominance, and aggression.

However, at this moment, he appeared somewhat haggard and pale.

This man was Xiang Tianyang, the Xiang Family Master, and a sworn brother of Chu Tianlong.

If one went back fifteen years.

The name of Xiang Tianyang of the East Sea was known throughout Hua Country, second only to the Chu Family's Mad Dragon.

However, since the Mad Dragon disappeared five years ago.

Xiang Tianyang returned seriously injured.

He has been mostly staying in the secret room to heal ever since.

But Xiang Tianyang's injuries were extremely severe.

Even to this day, he has not fully recovered, and consequently, his strength has been declining.

"Father, how is your health?"

Xiang Fei looked at Xiang Tianyang and said.

"I'm fine, what's the matter?"

Xiang Tianyang opened his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"Father, Xiao Feng has returned."

Xiang Fei stated directly.

"Xiao Feng? You mean Chu Feng!!!"

Xiang Tianyang's pupils shrank, and a flash of shock crossed his eyes as he looked at Xiang Fei.

"That's right!!!"

Xiang Fei nodded his head.

He then proceeded to recount the events that had taken place at the Yuan Family banquet in full detail to Xiang Tianyang.

After listening to Xiang Fei's words,

Xiang Tianyang's gaze flickered, and his expression changed repeatedly.

"How could the son of my elder brother possibly die so easily."

"Now that five years have passed, he has finally returned as a king."

Xiang Tianyang said in a heavy tone.

"Father, Xiao Feng's current strength has taken me by surprise."

"To have grown so much in five years."

Xiang Fei exclaimed.

"I have always speculated that given my elder brother's powerful and defying martial arts talent,"

"how could his only son possibly be unable to cultivate martial arts."

"Now it seems my guess was correct, Xiao Feng's martial arts talent has obviously awakened."

"Once he awakens to a martial arts talent as defying as my elder brother's,"

"reaching this level in five years is not surprising at all."

Xiang Tianyang spoke in a grave voice.

"However, Father, Feng Jianxiong of Qing Sect will definitely not let Xiao Feng go now, you see..."

Xiang Fei's eyes showed a worried look as he spoke to Xiang Tianyang.

"Immediately send someone to find out Xiao Feng's whereabouts, then notify me!!!"

"If Feng Jianxiong dares to do anything to Xiao Feng, I will ensure that his Qing Sect will be beyond redemption!!!"

Xiang Tianyang's voice was cold, and he spoke with a strong and domineering tone.

"Yes!!!"

Xiang Fei nodded and turned to leave the secret room.

Cough cough cough!!!

After Xiang Fei had left,

Xiang Tianyang suddenly started coughing violently, his face turning pale.

His expression appeared somewhat pained.

"This damned thing!!!"

Xiang Tianyang's expression turned cold.

Following that, he closed his eyes and began to exercise his power.

A powerful current of air swirled around him.

Meanwhile, at a certain location in Hua Country, inside a dark room,

a female figure whose face and age could not be discerned stood there.

Suddenly, a woman dressed in black appeared before her and bowed, saying:

"Master, the mission has failed. The people from the Dream Clan also showed up."

"Was she taken away by the people of the Dream Clan?"

the female figure asked in an icy voice.

"Not exactly, she was taken away by a young man."

"However, her Dream Eye was activated tonight."

The woman in black said solemnly.

"To activate the Dream Eye so soon, interesting!!!"

"It seems I will have to take action personally, otherwise those old codgers from the Dream Clan will become impatient."

The mysterious woman's voice was sharp and piercingly cold.

An invisible Qi Mechanism enveloped the entire room.

"Sister, you took great pains to hide her, making it impossible for others to find her."

"Unfortunately, she can no longer stay hidden."

"The Dream Eye, I must have it!!!"

The woman declared chillingly.

The next day.

In the Imperial City, at Dragon Group.

"Team leader, all the major powers from overseas have now converged on the East Sea."

"Even the Church and Heavenly Net organizations have arrived. Should we take action?"

In the office, the underling spoke to the Saber team leader.
