572: The whereabouts of the artifact?

Before arriving at the Huiguang World, Wang Chen had briefly reviewed intelligence about this medium-sized world.

This included information on some of the world's precious Materials and other noteworthy treasures.

Among these, Divine Artifacts were listed first in the intelligence.

Divine Artifacts in the Huiguang World, when converted to the Blue Star's system, are equivalent to Sun-Rank equipment, treasures that even Nine Revolution Wang-level experts would covet, and it's no exaggeration to call them rare treasures.

After all, for the vast majority of Awakeners on Blue Star, Diamond-Rank equipment is already the highest Rank they can access.

And between Sun-Rank equipment and Diamond-Rank equipment, there are still two Ranks: Star-Rank and Moon-Rank.

Wang Chen's wealth, among Blue Star Awakeners, could be said to be quite good, but so far, he only possesses one Star-Rank piece of equipment.

This was the reward he received for winning first place in the National Freshman Competition last year.

After that, the only other Star-Rank equipment he had seen was when his Senior Brother, Bai Ziting, had two pieces in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

As for Moon-Rank and even Sun-Rank equipment beyond Star-Rank, he had never even seen them, and there was no related information available online.

Now, a Divine Artifact, equivalent to Sun-Rank equipment, might be hidden in the Hanfeng City Ruins.

It must be said that this news made Wang Chen's heart stir.

At this moment, he looked at the panicking Gold Digger and decided not to deal with him immediately.

This guy still had some value that could be squeezed out!

"You dared to come to the Hanfeng City Ruins late at night, so you probably have your own guesses about the whereabouts of this Divine Artifact, right?"

Pulling the Gold Digger up, Wang Chen's tone became gentle: "Don't be afraid, tell me everything you know, and we'll search together."

"Oh, by the way... I don't know Your Excellency's name yet?"

"This humble one is called Ryan."

Looking at Wang Chen's amiable smile, Ryan, the Gold Digger, breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became fawning.

"Your Excellency's insight is truly sharp; nothing can be hidden from you."

After a small compliment to Wang Chen, Ryan continued: "This humble one does have a slight guess about the whereabouts of this Divine Artifact."

"The Divine Artifact has always been in the hands of the Mosiliwake Family; only their direct Bloodline can activate its power."

"After the dark turmoil erupted and Coldwind City was destroyed, no one from the Mosiliwake Family survived."

"However, while there are no living members, the deceased members of this Family still exist."

"Hmm?" Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Ryan, the Gold Digger, with some surprise.

"You know where the Mosiliwake Family members died?"

"No..." Ryan shook his head upon hearing this, then, afraid that Wang Chen would misunderstand, he quickly added: "The deceased person this humble one is referring to is Sien Mosleyvak, the paternal uncle of the last Family Head of the Mosiliwake Family. After his death, he was corroded by dark power and transformed into an Undead. He is currently in Coldwind City."

"So that's how it is." Wang Chen nodded, then asked, "Undead generally have no intelligence. Even if we find him, it's unlikely we can get anything out of him."

"No, Sien Mosleyvak is different," Ryan quickly explained. "He was already a Demigod-level expert in life. Although he has now been transformed into an Undead, his strength has become even greater, and he retains a portion of his intelligence."

"This..." Wang Chen was stunned by Ryan's words.

What the other party said sounded very similar to the Purple-Gold Skeleton King he had encountered before.

"Could it be that this Sien Mosleyvak you're talking about is the Purple-Gold Skeleton King who leads the Undead Army?" Wang Chen thought for a moment and asked directly.

"Your Excellency's insight is truly sharp!" Ryan nodded like a pecking chick, squeezing out an expression of adoration on his ugly face.

"Uh..." Seeing this, Wang Chen felt a bit disgusted.

However, the information the other party provided greatly interested him.

Sneaking into Coldwind City tonight and provoking the Purple-Gold Skeleton King was one of his objectives.

Since he had now stumbled upon it, that "one" could be removed.

"Stop flattering me. Since you know all this and have come to Coldwind City tonight, you must also know the location of this Purple-Gold Skeleton King in the city."

"Lead the way; we'll go investigate the situation." Having made up his mind, Wang Chen patted Ryan's shoulder: "If there's a real gain, you'll certainly be rewarded."

"Your Excellency is too kind," Ryan said respectfully, lowering his head, acting very obsequious.

But the moment he lowered his head, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

...

...

Half an hour later, in the central area of Coldwind City.

"Your Excellency, that's the area where the Purple-Gold Skeleton King is located," Ryan said respectfully, pointing to a collapsed building and lowering his head to Wang Chen.

Hearing this, Wang Chen looked up.

The ruined buildings in the distance still showed some of their former grandeur before they were destroyed.

Smooth, clean bricks, gilded beams and pillars, a dried-up pond...

All indicated how magnificent this place once was.

"Your Excellency, this used to be the Mosiliwake Family's Lord's Manor. This humble one also found a map of Coldwind City before, which allowed me to confirm this place," Ryan added obsequiously, seeing Wang Chen's silence.

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded.

Even if Ryan didn't say it, he could confirm the special nature of this place in Coldwind City.

Underneath the ruins, there was an extremely strong aura of death, giving him an incredibly familiar feeling.

Without needing to guess, he knew that the Purple-Gold Skeleton King was currently sleeping underground.

And besides that, there were three other powerful death auras throughout the entire ruins, only inferior to the Fallen Cyclops he had encountered before.

They should be the Purple-Gold Skeleton King's subordinates.

"Let's go, we'll go in and take a look." Wang Chen thought for a moment and waved his hand at Ryan.

"Ah?" Ryan's mouth hung open, his expression filled with terror.

"Your Excellency, do I have to go in too?"

"With my meager strength, I'm afraid I'll only be a hindrance to Your Excellency." Ryan's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, feigning concern for Wang Chen.

"Hmm?" Wang Chen looked at Ryan with a playful glint in his eyes, his tone full of amusement. "If you don't go in, are you planning to wait for me to go in, stir up a commotion to awaken the Undead here, and then avenge your companions?"

Ryan froze, then quickly and nervously defended himself: "No... absolutely not! Your Excellency, I absolutely have no such thoughts; you've truly wronged me."

His face was full of wronged expression, his features scrunched up.

In his heart, he never imagined that his secret thoughts would be discovered by this person in front of him.
