Chapter 992: Delegation 101
In order to ensure that the operation was a success, the hallmaster of the First Hall even gave the seekers the Earthly Sovereign Chime. Legend had it that the Earthly Sovereign Chime was forged using the fragments of the Earthly Sovereign Bell and thus possessed a portion of the Strange Artifact’s power. It could also detect the Earthly Sovereign Bell and pinpoint its location.
This was why they had come to the North Duke City.
However, they discovered that the man possessing the Earthly Sovereign Bell and his companion were quite strong. Moreover, they were staying in the North Duke City for the past couple days.
Right now, the North Duke City was overflowing with powerful warriors and complex intrigue. Should they try to retrieve the Earthly Sovereign Bell via brute force, it was highly possible that they might land themselves in deep trouble and fail their mission.
That was why Yue Songhe decided to send one warrior to spy on the duo first. Once they left the capital, he would personally enter the battlefield and take the Earthly Sovereign Bell in one fell swoop.
Yue Wanjun reckoned that Yue Songhe and his men had already taken the Earthly Sovereign Bell. They were probably on their way back right now.
Yue Wanjun cracked a longing smile when he thought about this. Once the hallmaster retrieves the Earthly Sovereign Bell, the Earthly Sovereign Hall would surely regain its former glory.
“What are you thinking about, friend? Do you mind sharing some of that happiness with me?”
Suddenly, a masculine voice appeared from behind. Surprised but not panicking, Yue Wanjun clenched his right fist and threw a backhand.
