Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Strong in Appearance but Weak in Reality

Seeing the jade box opened.

Everyone immediately craned their necks, wanting to get a glimpse of the powerful jade talisman.

Tie Bubai, however, was in disarray, his mind went blank.

The jade box was empty!

But how could this be?

When conducting the transaction at the auction house, he personally opened the jade box, repeatedly confirmed it was correct, then personally closed the box and sealed it.

During this process, he was the only one present.

No one else had touched it!

Furthermore, ever since obtaining the jade box, he had tightly gripped it the entire time.

There was no possibility of it being swapped.

But how could the jade box be empty?

He even doubted his own eyes, scrutinizing it carefully.

It was still empty.

His heart felt as though it had stepped into an abyss, a strong sense of weightlessness overwhelmed him.

A surge of impending doom rose in his heart.

He had lost the jade talisman he spent two million on!

How would he explain this to the sect master?
