At dusk, the sun was setting, and the sky not far away was already dyed with a deep night color.
In the west corner of Jiataifang City, the underground auction has ended.
Auctions generally start at noon and end at dusk.
After it was over, it was just approaching evening. At this time, it was much more convenient for the monks to escape or follow.
Apparently, this is a ploy used by the auction house to retain regular customers.
After all, only if the monks gain enough benefits here will they come here continuously.
As for what kind of means and methods were used, and how many killings and calculations were caused, that is not the auction house's business.
After all, I am a serious business person. If something happens, it is your own problem. What does it have to do with me?
At this moment, on a street not far from the auction, a group of Fangshi guard monks were patrolling, but their way was suddenly blocked.
"Who dares..." Seeing this scene, the captain of the patrol team was about to scold him, but was suddenly stunned and quickly led others to kneel down on one knee.
"See the disciples of the Sect!"
Because the other party directly took out a piece of green spiritual leaf, which exuded a faint green light and contained spiritual pressure that shocked them.
This is the identity badge of the Qingyun Sect, and the vision on it shows that the other party is either a high-ranking elder in the foundation-building period, or a true disciple with a bright future.
And no matter which one it is, they must treat it seriously!
"I am Zhang Zhiming, a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect. In the name of a true disciple, I give an order to immediately send a signal, summon the monks, and seal off all areas to the west of Fang City. No one is allowed to leave or approach. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed on the spot. !” The person who came was none other than the monk in green from the auction.
As soon as the auction ended, he immediately left the venue, found the Fangshi patrol team, and gave the order boldly.
"This..." The leader was a little confused. You must know that sealing off Fang City, even if it is just an area, consumes manpower, material resources and has an impact. It is not a trivial matter!
"If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it, but if it's because you made a mistake..." Seeing that the other party did not act immediately, Zhang Zhiming's face suddenly darkened, and a sharp aura emitted from his body.
"Yes! Yes!" Sensing a murderous intention, the patrol leader couldn't help but become alert. He immediately came to his senses and quickly sent out a signal.
The other party is his superior and stronger than himself. If he hesitates any longer and makes mistakes, I am afraid that the other party will kill him without hesitation!
"Hmph!" Zhang Zhiming snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Junior brother, take my token and immediately go find the foundation-building elder who manages Fang City, inform him of the matter, and ask him to immediately block the auction and send the person in charge to Whoever takes it!"
"What about you, senior brother?"
"The foundation-building secret method is related to the rule of our sect, and it must not be allowed to spread. No matter who gets it, they must be killed!" Zhang Zhiming did not answer, but looked at the auction, with a cold look in his eyes. murderous intent.
At the same time, in a secret room at the underground auction venue, Zhao Ming stood in front of an old man with a respectful look.
Although the old man is old, he is full of energy and has a childlike appearance, and his every move is full of the temperament of having been in a position of power for a long time.
Obviously, he is the real mastermind behind the auction, a foundation-building monk in the Donghai Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Are you all ready?" the old man asked.
"Back to Elder Situ, everything has been packed and you can set off immediately." Zhao Ming replied respectfully.
"Okay, leave the secret passage immediately. Take away all the spiritual stones and treasures, and deal with all irrelevant personnel to avoid exposing our whereabouts." The old man said calmly.
"After you go out, take the flying boat back to the alliance immediately without any delay! ...Why, are there any other questions?" Seeing the slightly hesitant look on Zhao Ming's face, the old man turned around and asked.
"This..." Zhao Ming looked at the old man's calm face, gritted his teeth and asked, "This subordinate has something unknown."
"explain."
"The opportunity to control monks outside the three major forces to obtain foundation building is a rule we jointly formulated with the Zheng and Demon Sects. Why do we unilaterally violate it? And... so much so that we have to give up this auction. Elder, please Know……"
To be honest, what Zhao Ming cares about is not the secret method of foundation building. What he cares about is this auction. After all, this is the fruit of his many years of hard work, and he just gave up like this?
"This is not something you should know. Go down!" The old man looked at him coldly.
"Yes." Zhao Ming couldn't help clenching his hands, but he still lowered his head and responded.
"Oh, what a troubled time!" After Zhao Ming walked out of the room, the old man sighed.
The sale of the foundation-building secret method this time is not a sign from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, but the decision of the Situ family of the Jindan family in their alliance.
As for doing this, he would offend Qingyun Sect, he didn't know, but he had to do it.
The ancestor of their Situ family was seriously injured in a fight with others in the past, and his foundation was damaged. In the early years, he also lost a lot of life due to mistakes in his cultivation. Today, he is about to die. .
However, the Situ family's strongest foundation-building monk has a slim chance of reaching the golden elixir stage. In the Lingnan cultivation world where immortality resources are scarce, third-level spiritual objects are hard to find, let alone spiritual objects that can help form elixirs.
Just when the situation was deteriorating further, Xuanyinmen obtained the news through some unknown means and proposed a deal.
The content of the transaction is that Xuanyin Sect will use a pill-forming spiritual object as a reward, and requires the Situ family to use various means to spread a secret foundation-building method throughout the Qingyun Sect.
And that foundation-building secret method is exactly what they just auctioned - the spiritual blood foundation-building method!
"Cooperating with the devil is like seeking skin from a tiger, but now, our Situ family has to do this. I just hope that we can survive this difficulty..." The old man raised his head, his eyes dark.
Even if the pill-forming spiritual object is in the Xuanyin Sect, it is extremely precious. Since the other party is willing to trade it, he must be asking for it very much.
Although it is not clear what the other party's purpose is. But the old man has matured with age. Based on the current situation, it is natural to see that the two sects of Qingyun Xuanyin Sect seem to be peaceful on the surface, but there are already constant disputes in the interior.
If it continues to evolve, it is very likely to develop into a war that affects the entire Lingnan land of immortality!
However, the Situ family cannot protect themselves now. If they cannot produce a golden elixir monk before their ancestor is enthroned, I am afraid they will suffer disaster, and naturally they will not be able to care about the future.
"Huh?" The old man paused inexplicably, as if he sensed something. He raised his head, and he seemed to see the bright fireworks in the sky even though he was underground, "Is this a message signal? The two little guys from Qingyun Sect are still... Really decisive.”
The old man smiled softly, but it was fleeting. His expression instantly became serious, and his whole body exuded a majesty belonging to a superior.
He didn't open his mouth, but his voice appeared in the ears of each specific person.
"Pass my order, everyone must evacuate from the secret passage immediately, and the speed must be fast. If there is any delay, Wuhe will be killed!"
"This is Qingyun Sect's message fireworks?!" In a house, the uncles and nephews of the Chen family couldn't help but change their expressions slightly when they saw this scene.
Although they left the underground auction, they were still nearby, still in the blocked area of Qingyun Sect!
"Second uncle, what should I do?!" the young man on the side asked anxiously.
"Act as I planned. The people who are following you are already outside the yard. I will have my servants drive out three carriages later to confuse them. But after they leave, don't wait until midnight to leave, but set off immediately after a while. , to avoid being caught by the people of Qingyun Sect." The burly man did not panic, but calmly ordered.
"What about second uncle?"
"I'm going to fight for the foundation-building secret method. It's about the future of my Chen family!" The man clenched his fists with a cold face.
"Then...Second uncle, be more careful." The young man gritted his teeth and said.
"Take the things back to Chen's house!" The man nodded, looked at him again, and ordered.
Soon, three carriages drove out of the front door of the yard, and many monks lurking around followed them with greed in their eyes.
Not long after the three carriages left, a middle-aged man quietly walked out of the courtyard, looked around carefully, then jumped and ran out of Fangshi.
After he left, several figures lurking deep in the shadows moved and followed him silently.
After he walked for a while, the young man in the yard solemnly took out a talisman - the Earth Escape Talisman - from the storage bag.
The price of this type of talisman in the market has always been high. In addition, the Chen family spent a lot of money and hired an outstanding talisman master to improve it.
Not only is it silent while sneaking, but it also completely restrains its spiritual energy fluctuations, which can be said to be a precious anomaly.
This is one of the most precious treasures in the Chen family's treasury. It was originally used to preserve the core seeds for escape when the family encountered a disaster. However, in order to ensure the safety of this auction trip, the family elders still He took it out without hesitation.
"Edict!"
With a flash of earth-colored inspiration, the young man dived directly into the ground, then sneaked for a while, and got out of a house he had bought in advance on the edge of the city. Then he quickly left outside the city.
It's not that he doesn't want to stay in Fang City for a few days, rendezvous with his caravan, and wait for the storm to pass before leaving.
Rather, they had already been targeted by several other forces in Yunshan County when they set out. Once they reunited with Li Fang, they were more likely to be robbed and killed.
But if he is alone, he can completely avoid the opponent's eyes and ears and escape pursuit. In addition, he is equipped with a large number of magical talismans and a disposable flying spiritual weapon. You can rush back to your family within one day to reduce the occurrence of accidents.
"I have avoided the eyes and ears of several forces in Yunshan County. The monks following the auction have also been lured away by my second uncle. In addition, I left the yard in a special way. Now it seems that I should be safe. Yes, as long as you are careful, then..."
Outside the city, in a dark jungle, the young man held a defensive spiritual weapon to protect his body, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and murmured.
However, before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed and his body stiffened.
Because at this moment, behind him, a clear voice suddenly came:
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
