Ye Chen nodded; he had also sensed the intense darkness within.
Every year, a considerable number of new lords fall into the darkness of the origin, so each new lord often has to face corrupted predecessors after entering, which becomes their first challenge.
However, among these predecessors were some powerful lords who were able to lead their kin deep into the dark origins of the land, but ultimately remained there forever.
These lords often possess great power and a large number of rare items.
If these new lords manage to find and conquer the city, they will also gain access to a considerable amount of the legacy left by their predecessors.
After browsing through the lord's stall and finding some rare items, the three of them didn't linger and got up to leave.
"Brother Chen, shall we go and take a look at this Dark Origin Ground? It's the largest Dark Origin Ground in the entire Trial Space, the final trial ground for all the new lords!" the fat man said with a hint of anticipation.
"Alright! We were planning to use this place as the final stop of the trial, right? Let's browse the auction, promote Duobao Trading Network, and then we'll go in!" Ye Chen nodded. The final trial site was definitely worth checking out.
"Hehe! That's good! Now what? Shall we go check out the auction house?" The fat man nodded and asked, looking at another tall building in the territory.
"Did Si Meng mention any large-scale auctions today?" Ye Chen asked. Only large-scale auctions would have truly good items, but such auctions are not held frequently.
“Yes, she had already notified her staff to hold a large auction today so that we could come back. Isn’t that an honor?” Jian Mengyi smiled at the two of them, which surprised Ye Chen and the fat man.
Who would have thought I had such influence? To the point that Wanwulou would hold a large-scale auction just for me—it's truly astonishing!
"Holy crap! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Coming to his senses, the fat man shouted excitedly and pulled Ye Chen toward the auction house.
"What's the rush? If it were really starting, Meng'er would have sent someone to call us. She's probably still busy right now!" Jian Mengyi said, rolling her eyes.
"Then we can find a good spot first, and see if she needs help. After all, she almost lost power. What if those people come back and bully her again?" the fat man said excitedly, without stopping his steps.
Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi exchanged a smile, shook their heads helplessly, and could only go with him, running towards the auction house together.
As the biggest source of revenue for Wanwulou, the auction house is also the most important building in Wanwulou. The office area is usually not too far away from the auction house so that various issues can be handled at any time.
The fat man pulled the two of them along at a jog, but instead of going into the auction house, they turned into the lord's mansion next door, which was also the office area for everyone.
"Didn't you say you were here to attend the auction?" Ye Chen teased, sounding annoyed.
"Oh dear, we're here to ask Meng'er for VIP tickets, aren't we? We can't possibly sit in the main hall, can we?" the fat man said matter-of-factly, his gaze sweeping across the lord's mansion, which attracted the attention of the guards.
"Hello! This is the lord's manor; outsiders are not allowed to enter!" the elven guard said politely.
"It's alright, it's alright! We're not outsiders, we're here to find your Lord Simeng!" the fat man said nonchalantly, his eyes continuing to dart towards the lord's mansion. But how could he possibly find Simeng like this?
"Lord Simeng? Excuse me! Do you have an appointment?" The elven guard answered smoothly. There were quite a few people coming to see Lord Simeng today. More than a dozen people had already arrived in a short time. In the end, the lord could not bear the disturbance and ordered that no one without an appointment be seen.
"An appointment? No? Why would I need an appointment to see her?" The fat man was taken aback and said subconsciously, but Jian Mengyi reacted and pulled him back to reality.
“Hello! We are Si Meng’s friends. We came here with her today. She asked us to come and find her. You can ask her and tell her I am Jian Mengyi!” Jian Mengyi said very politely. However, the elven guard still frowned and looked embarrassed.
Jian Mengyi was clearly not the first person to speak like that, and he was also hesitant about the truthfulness of her words.
"Hmph! It's you guys!" At this moment, a slightly disdainful voice rang out. The group turned around and happened to run into Wen Tianzong returning with his men.
"It's you? What are you still doing here? Didn't I send you back? Why aren't you going back to your own territory?" the fat man retorted irritably, having no good impression of this rich second-generation who was vying for power with Si Meng.
"Hmph! It's none of your business what happens at my Wanwu Tower! These people are outsiders causing trouble, and they're even suspected of cheating in the arena. Take more people to confiscate their cheating money, then send them away. Make sure they don't get near the lord's mansion!" Wen Tianzong said arrogantly, while ordering the elven guards to stop them and accuse them of cheating in the arena.
Such behavior is extremely egregious; not only will the lord's entire fortune be confiscated, but he will also be expelled from the Wanwu Tower.
Upon hearing this, the elven guard's expression changed immediately. He waved to his companions behind him, and a large number of elven guards immediately surrounded the group, and their numbers continued to increase.
He also saw the angels following Jian Mengyi and sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ye Xi and the others. Therefore, after the elven guards, several large treant guards left to deal with the situation.
Although these treant guards are slow-moving, they all possess genuine fourth-tier strength and are considered a companion race of the Ancient Tree of Life.
"As you all have heard, the Tower of All Things does not welcome you. Please leave!" the elven guard said coldly.
Ye Chen and the others frowned and looked over, only to see Wen Tianzong looking at them with a mocking expression, waiting for them to slink away.
Seeing the other party's expression, Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his hand to stop the fat man and Jian Mengyi, who were about to speak. "I say, are you really stupid or just pretending? This place is so close to the lord's mansion. If a fight really breaks out, do you think they won't be able to hear us? At that time, you might not even be able to keep your status as the son of a shareholder, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianzong's face immediately darkened. "Shut up! Wanwu Tower belongs to my family, not that woman's! She's nothing more than a housekeeper, a dog of the Wen family!"
"So what if she knows you're fighting here? Arena cheating! Cheating to earn millions of Tier 4 magic crystals, I have the right to order their return!"
These words immediately caused an uproar among the curious onlookers!
P.S.: Happy National Day everyone, the last holiday of the year!
