Qin Hao's eyes brightened slightly as well. The Black Market had finally opened.
Almost at the same instant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Figures hurried over from the streets outside.
Qin Hao was momentarily taken aback. So many people had been waiting nearby all along; they simply hadn't come over.
Just then...
Two burly men with imposing auras emerged from the Palace. Their arrival instantly silenced the entire Plaza.
Qin Hao's gaze was instantly drawn to the two burly men as well.
What powerful auras. These two... Eternity True God Pinnacle, half-step Ancestral Gods?
Qin Hao's pupils contracted. Although the two men merely stood quietly at the entrance, they were like two enormous suns, impossible to look at directly.
It wasn't just Qin Hao. Everyone in the previously bustling Plaza gazed at the two burly men with awe in their eyes.
"Qin Hao, those two are Black Market Guardians. Their strength is terrifying. They're genuine half-step ancestral gods," Jiang Cheng said in a lowered voice, as though afraid the two burly men might hear him.
"Black Market Guardians?" Qin Hao nodded. The opening of the Black Market was a major event in the Military Camp on the Southern Frontier Battlefield, so guardians would certainly be assigned, especially given the many treasures inside.
"Fighting is strictly forbidden inside the Black Market. In fact, once you set foot in this Plaza, fighting and killing are prohibited. If anyone dares defy that rule, those two will intervene."
"Don't underestimate them," Jiang Cheng said. "Across the entire Southern Frontier Battlefield, they have very few equals below the Ancestral God level."
"Even the Seed Candidates aren't their match?" Qin Hao asked in surprise.
"Not necessarily, but if they fought here, those two would probably have the upper hand. Don't forget, this place has a formation too."
