Mu Chen and Xia Hong exchanged gazes within the boisterous city. Coldness seemed to be surging throughout the space, and the spiritual energy that was surrounding them appeared to be fluctuating slightly.
Xia Hong faintly smiled at Mu Chen, yet the smile had no warmth. Mu Chen returned a smile, his face calm.
"Heh, the Ancient Celestial Palace has really attracted tons of weird beings!" Xia Hong squinted his eyes slightly, obviously meaning Mu Chen.
He could tell that Mu Chen's strength was not even that of a true Grade Nine Sovereign yet. Even so, Mu Chen clearly had neither respect nor fear of him, which made him very unhappy.
Although Xia Hong was assured of his strength above Mu Chen, he still had his reservations. Hence, he did not make things difficult for Mu Chen on the spot. After all, given their strengths, Mu Chen and Nine Nether must have some powerful backing. So, if he was rash and picked a fight with them, he might get himself in big trouble.
