Gro Street in Nancheng District.
On a tower a few hundred meters away, Ji Xun looked at the towering Hunters Guild building in the distance, the doubts in his eyes never dissipating.
The auction begins at 7 p.m.
But after deciphering the secret message "According to plan" in the silver mirror early in the morning, he came over early to observe the terrain.
It's only five o'clock in the afternoon.
Obviously, there are many people in Innocence City watching this auction.
Ji Xun casually observed and found that besides himself, there were people observing with telescopes in many buildings around him.
He had no intention of going to the auction site.
If anything, it's not a good place.
"Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect will probably come to try to get this batch of goods, but what are they going to do?"
Ji Xun couldn't understand either.
Ever since he saw the "moon" in the catalog, he was sure that those people would definitely come.
But the Silver Moon Sect seems to only have a few people at the moment.
Even if the method is a bit weird, if you really want to show up in this auction that is already full of traps, you will have to kneel down every minute.
Ji Xun pondered in his mind.
There are only two options for robbery.
Either fight for strength or fight for ingenuity.
But the more information is exposed, the more powerful people will be found to find ways to restrain themselves.
Just like the doctor before, with the [Cell Activity Boiling] secret method, it is almost impossible to die within the same level. But if you are really prepared in advance, you can greatly restrain your ability with a "forbidden treatment".
Now all the backbones of the Silver Moon Sect are on the list, and the information is quite detailed.
Theoretically speaking, there is absolutely no hope in competing for strength.
and.
If it is a conspiracy.
If you want to take advantage of that batch of goods, there are only three possibilities.
In transit, during auction, and after auction.
The first and third options are most likely.
Since Golden Oak Security Company has organized this auction, the transportation must be heavily guarded. Maybe there is a chance for the inner ghost to cooperate with the outside?
But Golden Oak's top management is not stupid either. The previous campaign to suppress the insiders has probably exposed a lot of information, so they won't suffer a loss or learn a lesson.
As for the third type.
If you really wait for someone to auction it off, regardless of whether you really buy it, the people who dare to buy it are definitely not weak.
Once the goods are scattered, they may not be able to do what they want.
But this is what Ji Xunbian has never understood.
His intuition told him that what he was thinking of now was probably not the right idea.
"Everything I can think of, others can think of. So there will never be any opportunities to take advantage of at the logical level. If those people in the Silver Moon Sect really want to make things happen, they will definitely use ideas that others can't think of to break the situation. Well, there are unexpected insiders. , sewers, hidden figures, secrets, relics, explosives?”
On the tower, Ji Xun watched the hands on his pocket watch move little by little, with no less doubts in his eyes.
If he were the planner, he would not even have a 1% probability of success if he planned the plan based on the known chips.
But this is an extraordinary world, and who knows if anything weird will come out.
But if you can't think of the other party's thoughts, then you have to give up the idea of fishing in troubled waters.
Suddenly, a thought that he had been ignoring came to Ji Xun's mind: "Is it possible for those guys to attack by force?"
What to say may be the most unexpected.
Instead, there is only this most brutal one.
But this is the Innocence City. Are those shrimps from the Silver Moon Sect taking the lead and attacking?
On the other side, in a private house.
Xie Guozhong and his two assistants also looked at the auction house in the distance with binoculars.
The job content of these X Bureau field agents is to contain some highly contaminated out-of-control relics and catastrophic objects. There is also the most important task, which is to solve the old sects that pollute human faith.
This time when they came to Innocence City, their first target was the Silver Moon Sect.
The two young assistants had been watching by the window for a long time.
Like Ji Xun, they had no idea at all.
But the two assistants had sad faces, but Xie Guozhong, who was the backbone, was lying leisurely aside, drinking a small drink.
Awen has asked many times, but she is still puzzled: "Captain, I haven't found anything unusual. Will those guys from the Silver Moon Sect really come?"
Mushroom Head also reported seriously: "I found twenty-one secret sentries on the block, but judging from their actions, it seems that they are not members of the Silver Moon Sect."
As he said that, he turned to look at the captain who was lying on the bed as if he was about to fall asleep, and said: "Captain, the auction house is about to start now. I think those old believers are coming and should have already entered the venue. Let's not go in to watch. see?"
Xie Guozhong, however, looked like he was trying to find a way to work, and said lazily: "Why go in there? If there really is a fight, will we get beaten up by several gangs for no reason?"
Mushroom head:"."
Awen: "."
The two assistants rolled their eyes when they heard this.
The ace agent in the bureau is just trying to catch fish when he talks. His work attitude is really not positive at all.
Xie Guozhong didn't seem to see the resentful looks between the two guys at all, but he also explained: "It's not us who should be anxious now. Just wait and watch the excitement."
Awen said: "But...if we don't make some preparations, what happens if something happens."
Xie Guozhong chuckled and asked, "So, what preparations have you made?"
Hearing this, the two assistants were instantly speechless.
After three days of deduction, they still haven't thought that the Silver Moon Sect has any feasible plan.
Seeing Xie Guozhong being so calm, Mushroom Head blinked and asked, "Captain, have you guessed the action plan of those Silver Moon Cultists?"
Xie Guozhong said decisively: "No."
Mushroom head:"."
Awen: "."
The corners of the eyes of the two assistants twitched again.
Xie Guozhong said: "When encountering difficult cases, sometimes you have to think about it as an 'outsider'. Otherwise, your thinking will be limited to a logical dead end. For example, you have talked about so many plans before, but only one I have never thought about it, will the Silver Moon Sect go to rob it in the open?"
Awen listened with an impossible expression on her face, "Ah, Captain. As long as those people in the Silver Moon Sect have normal minds, it's impossible for them to do it forcefully, right?"
"In a sense, the Old Day Christians are a group of guys with abnormal minds."
Having said this, Xie Guozhong smacked his lips and said: "I will definitely come. I went to see the sacred object 'the moon'. It is indeed a mysterious treasure carrying the power of faith. If they don't come this time, they will have no chance." No matter what the situation is over at Golden Oak, we have to take it away. If this thing is left outside, it will be a disaster sooner or later. By the way, Jia Yu, give the moon a number [X-712-Moon], and then Send a report back first. The effect currently seems to be a large-scale pollution of faith, and the danger level is marked A. I will send a report by the way, and then transfer a few relics from the headquarters warehouse to suppress the pollution of faith."
Mushroom Head: "Oh."
Xie Guozhong didn't say much, but instead said: "Also, Awen, what message did that kid leave at the Train Tavern before?"
Awen said: "It is said that there is a situation. Let us rush there immediately when we see the 'fireworks'."
Xie Guozhong smiled and suddenly realized: "Haha, interesting. They are treating us as thugs."
Ji Xun kept observing the situation at the auction house with a telescope.
It's now seven o'clock, the staff has basically arrived, and the auction will start soon.
There were security personnel at the auction site, and none of the faces on the wanted poster appeared.
Although I had known this to be the case.
But Ji Xun also wanted to see if there were any faces he had met at the Rose Tavern before.
After looking at it for a long time, there was nothing.
Don't think about it, it's changing skin again.
I looked at my pocket watch again and saw that the hands were already seven o'clock.
After observing for so long without seeing any clues, he finally gave up.
Ji Xun put down the telescope and looked at the [Silver Moon Mirror] in his hand.
Now let's hope that the internal communicator can provide some surprises.
After all, there are real psychics among those auction items.
Several strongholds of the Silver Moon Sect have been destroyed. If we don't find an opportunity this time, it may be the last time we hear news about the psychic.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, the devil whispering in my ears appeared again.
Ji Xun's eyes flashed: Here we come!
Before taking action, I still need to issue some orders.
After several attempts, Ji Xun deciphered the secret message. It seemed that the people in the field were about to take action.
"It's time to take action!"
Ji Xun became very interested instantly.
His eyes were fixed on the auction house in the distance, but he still didn't see anything special.
But he listened carefully and found out that one of the messages in the silver mirror was: "The old road side is responsible for the response."
Although he didn't get much information, Ji Xun captured a key point: "Response? How to respond? Who to respond to?"
He turned his eyes and thought of the information he had received from the intelligence dealer before: "Lao Lu? He should be the wanted criminal "Nigger" Lao Lu with a bounty of 300,000."
"Nigger" Lao Lu is a beggar leader in Innocence City, and he controls a large area of beggars in the North City.
He has good ears and eyes, and can be regarded as a sect official.
But not everyone in the Silver Moon Sect has such outrageous combat power. The 300,000 bounty directly reflects this guy's strength.
According to the information, this guy is a normal first-level spell card master.
The most important reason for the bounty is probably that he is the source of population for the sacrificial ceremony.
With his current strength, there is no need to consider those sect leaders at all.
You can't chew hard bones, but you can still try soft persimmons.
So after hearing this old road, Ji Xun intuitively told Ji Xun that this might be a breakthrough.
"But how are these guys going to do anything?"
Ji Xun still didn't understand.
While he was still thinking, something strange suddenly happened!
The auction house in the distance suddenly glowed with purple light.
Like a candle lit in the dark night, the strange purple light instantly illuminated the area for miles around.
Even the neighborhood where Ji Xun was located was also affected by the purple light.
This purple light was like a glass cover, covering several blocks around the auction house in an instant.
It was as if a mysterious force had drained away the elements in the glass cover. Ji Xun was surprised to find that no free elements could be sensed around him.
Enlightenment also occurs instantly.
"Forbidden Demon Realm!"
Ji Xun's eyes narrowed, and he also thought of the Silver Moon Sect's plan to ban demons, and said in shock: "Are these guys really planning to rob them openly?"
The "Forbidden Magic Realm" is not good news for magic spell card masters.
Just like a flame will limit combustion in an oxygen-deficient environment, the power of a card detonating in air without elements will be much smaller.
The combat power of the spell card master will be greatly reduced.
However, Ji Xun guessed that this ban on demons was an indiscriminate restriction, and it was obviously not intended to restrict people.
It is to restrict the prohibition formations that have been arranged in advance near the auction house.
It's like a power outage. No matter how many light bulbs are arranged, there will be no way to light up if there is no power.
Look at this posture, are you really ready to rob?
So reckless?
Ji Xun was also very interested in this crazy plan.
He really didn't expect that these Old Day believers really used the most unexpected methods.
"But having said that, these Old Day sects have a lot of good stuff at their disposal."
Ji Xun clicked his tongue in surprise.
To be able to release such a large-scale domain barrier, it must be at least a Level IV ancient relic.
Treasures of this level may not even be in the hands of the great nobles.
How could such a small sect be brought out?
However, the next second, an even more unexpected scene appeared.
The sudden purple light mask also plunged the auction house into chaos.
Since it was an ambush, the top brass of the Golden Oak Security Company and the Hunters Guild had originally made a comprehensive security plan near the auction house.
Normally, no matter who comes in the Sinless City, it is impossible to take things away.
But the arrival of the Forbidden Demon Realm exceeded everyone's expectations.
They have developed various contingency plans to deal with possible situations, such as stealing, replacing, pretending to be buyers, causing chaos, etc.
But no one thought that these guys from the Silver Moon Sect would come to rob it!
This is just the beginning of the Forbidden Demon Realm.
Just before the purple aperture lit up, a guest at the auction suddenly took out a dark book on demons.
The ancient and profound sacrificial language was chanted in his mouth.
Pointing to a certain incredible existence:
"Rejoice in the love of pain, rejoice in the spilling of blood
Wandering among the shadows of graveyards
Thirst for blood, gives mortals fear
Joy, Dreams, Thousand-Faced Moon
Gaze with joy at the sacrifices of your devout followers
"
The auctioneer shouted: "Stop him quickly!"
But it's too late!
While the guy was chanting a spell, he also took out a small rune bottle.
As soon as it was opened, a drop of dark golden blood was exposed in the air.
In an instant, an indescribable, incomprehensible, and unbelievable aura of terror swept through the entire venue.
Others didn't know what this dark golden blood was, but several senior executives of Golden Oak recognized it, and their expressions changed suddenly: "Blood of the Demon God! Damn it, how come these guys from Silver Moon have this thing in their hands!"
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
Millions of people in the venue stared dumbly at the drop of dark gold blood slowly dripping onto the tome.
In an instant, a will from the ancient demon god descended on the venue.
No one could stop it, and it seemed they forgot to stop it, shocking the scene.
The guy holding the small bottle had already finished chanting, his eyes were wildly rolling, and he slammed the floor: "Psychic Technique·Four-Pillar Demon Lord!"
As soon as this technique was performed, it seemed as if the door to hell had been opened, and a terrifying spiral black hole appeared a hundred meters above the venue, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, a rotten hand dozens of meters long seemed to be impatient and took the lead in exploring the black hole.
The big hand tore it apart, and the black hole became even bigger.
Looking again, the monster's upper body had already poked out of hell.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a [zombie giant] hundreds of meters tall!
That’s not all!
After the zombie giant came out, the fog rolled in from the black hole, and a skeletal flying monster sprang out at very high speed.
This is the legendary undead monster - [Bone Dragon]!
As soon as the two behemoths appeared, the terrifying coercion originating from the life level swept the entire place instantly.
The pressure from the giant creature and the suppression of the bloodline of the mythical creature made everyone feel numb.
I don't know if it was because of insufficient energy. After the two giants appeared, no more giants appeared in the black hole. They were all small monsters such as skeletons and zombies.
It was like seawater pouring in, and the monster fell down with a splash.
In the blink of an eye, the huge auction house was already a sea of undead.
"this"
On the tower in the distance, Ji Xun was stunned as he looked at the strange black hole that appeared above the auction house.
When the huge zombie and bone dragon he saw appeared, he already understood that these guys from the Silver Moon Sect had the confidence to rob.
"Bone dragon? Does this kind of existence really exist?"
Ji Xun looked at it and was surprised in his heart.
He happened to read a lot about the undead in the past two days.
Although the skeleton of the bone dragon is a bit badly damaged, it is a genuine mythical undead creature.
Dragons and giants are all mythical creatures.
How can we not be surprised when legends become reality?
"It's a big deal now."
Although he was talking to himself, there was no trace of worry on Ji Xun's expression. He looked like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
I chose this tower a few blocks away because I was afraid of being affected.
The fight there is lively now, and it doesn't have much impact on him.
A wave of undead monsters flooded the venue, and various high-level spell card masters hiding in the dark also showed their faces.
The battle became intense the moment the monster appeared.
Seeing this, Ji Xun felt that he was right to write the report letter before.
If those strongholds are not destroyed, those guys from the Silver Moon Sect may not be able to do anything big.
On the other side, three people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation also saw this amazing scene at the window.
At this moment, the two young assistants looked at the captain beside them, their eyes full of admiration.
The captain was right.
Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect really chose the most impossible plan - to grab it openly.
They really wanted to go to the venue just now, and now they might really be beaten.
Bone dragon, giant zombie.
Even they haven't seen it.
Looking at the mythical monster that was channeled, the two of them realized that the situation was serious.
Awen reminded: "Captain."
"I see it."
Xie Guozhong nodded.
The slight drunkenness in his eyes had disappeared at this moment, replaced by deep eyes, and he said to himself: "These guys from the Silver Moon Sect have big plans. If only those secret altars hadn't been destroyed , if you give these guys some more time, I’m afraid it won’t be over.”
The fighting is getting more and more intense.
The three of them watched for a while.
Awen couldn't help but asked: "Captain, do we want to join the war now?"
Xie Guozhong shook his head, thoughtfully: "Let's take a look. It would be good to wait for people like the Silver Moon Sect to muddy the water a little bit. I also want to see how many big fish are hidden in the darkness of this innocent city."
Awen added: "But if we don't go, those two monsters may cause huge casualties."
"not necessarily."
After hearing this, Mushroom Head saw through something and analyzed: "This level of psychic magic is difficult for even top spell card masters to perform. The Silver Moon Sect does not have masters of that level yet. It should be borrowed. It costs a lot to buy some divine substances. You won’t be able to hold on for long.”
Xie Guozhong also agreed: "Yes. The background of Golden Oak is not shallower than that of Silver Moon Sect. It just depends on whether they want to be exposed."
The Silver Moon Sect came here to rob things, not because they really wanted to be besieged.
This method catches someone off guard.
Although I can't see what the fighting situation is like inside.
But Ji Xun was certain that this was destined not to be a protracted battle.
If the consumption continues, masters from all the major forces in Innocence City will come over, and the people of the Silver Moon Sect will be exhausted no matter how strong they are.
Things were developing just as he thought.
Although the two huge undead creatures in the distance were ferocious, after a moment of panic, the masters of Golden Oak and the Hunter Guild also organized an effective counterattack.
The heavily armed mechanical army entered the scene, and tons of artillery shells poured down.
There are also top spell card masters who also take action to limit the skull dragon's rampage.
Hunters also began to organize in groups to clean up the undead monsters.
After all, this is a sinless city, and there are more people than monsters.
As Ji Xun expected, the battle was very fierce, but it didn't take long for the pause button to be pressed.
Without warning, the purple light curtain of the "Forbidden Demon Realm" seemed to have run out of energy and suddenly disappeared.
The undead passage in the sky is still there, but without the restrictions of the forbidden magic field, the various forbidden barriers in the auction house also light up.
In an instant, various large-scale formations also erupted into terrorist attacks, harvesting undead monsters in droves.
Those high-level spell card masters can also show off their skills at this moment. Cards are flying all over the sky, and the monsters are being beaten back.
Seeing that the war situation has reached a turning point, someone in the distance on the street shouted violently.
"The people from the Silver Moon Sect snatched the 'moon' and ran away!"
"Hurry up!"
"."
Ji Xun could see clearly from a high place that a group of people were chasing another group of people, running toward the west city.
Extremely fast.
These people ran all the way, using various guns and cards to clear the way.
In this dim underground city, it was like a bunch of fiery snakes scurrying through the streets.
