Chapter 209: Auction (2) - Fight

The mission ahead was fraught with peril, and the line between loyalty and betrayal grew increasingly blurred. As I returned to the city, I couldn't help but wonder about the true nature of the artifact and the role it played in the Eclipse Cult's grand design. My life had become a labyrinth of secrets and deception, and I had no choice but to navigate its twists and turns with unwavering determination.

In the days that followed, I meticulously prepared for the upcoming auction.

It was rumored to be a relic of great power, capable of shifting the balance of power in the martial world.
