Chapter 379 Under the Sun
On the Spirit Shuttle, Bai Lu looked at the shameless group with cold eyes. Shen Xu had only wanted to take her with him this time, but things had turned out like this.
Most importantly, she had a great hand but still lost, which instantly darkened her mood.
Bai Lu was convinced that Li Xiaoyi must have secretly switched the cards when she moved the card table. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the card table she moved was the one she had won?
"Let me make this clear beforehand: once we arrive in Heavenly Sword City, none of you are allowed to follow me, otherwise we'll attract too much attention," Shen Xu couldn't help but remind him.
"You make it sound like we all want to follow you. If you hadn't personally invited me, I wouldn't have come out with you," Bai Lu said, her voice quite unfriendly.
She didn't understand why Shen Xu couldn't be more resolute at the time; what was wrong with taking only her along?
"Sister Bai is right. It's not easy to get four people together to play cards. How can we let you ruin the game so easily? I think Sister Bai only accepted your invitation out of desperation."
"Fine! As long as you don't follow me, you can do anything."
“Now that you’re out, I’ll take you to see the venue after you’re done with your work, and we can discuss the timing and manner of the Spirit Crane’s appearance tomorrow,” Li Xiaoyi said.
"Okay! It's settled then," Shen Xu agreed.
After Shen Xu left, Li Xiaoyi asked Guan Bi, "Guan Bi, do you know what Shen Xu went there to do this time?"
“Yes! Guanbi, how did you know Shen Xu was going to see Lu Qingshan?” Bai Lu asked curiously.
"How I know this isn't important; what's important is that what Shen Xu is going to do is very interesting," Guan Bi replied with a smile.
"Interesting? Sister Guan, tell me about it." Ye Zhi immediately became interested, her gossip-loving heart burning brightly.
"Actually, this matter is simple in some ways and complicated in others. The key lies in the person Lu Qingshan you mentioned, Miss..."
……
After asking several groups of Sword Alliance disciples patrolling the streets of Tianjian City, Shen Xu found out the area where Lu Qingshan was located.
They all looked on with envy at Shen Xu, who seemed to be quite relaxed at this moment.
By constantly asking for directions, Shen Xu quickly found the patrol area of Lu Qingshan's squad. It has to be said that the Qin family is indeed very powerful.
Although the area where he was located was not as bustling as the area around the Heavenly Sword Tower, it was still a secondary center of Heavenly Sword City, and many auctions were held here, so the surrounding area was always crowded with people.
The Sword Alliance contributions gained from patrolling such places are unparalleled in other areas, but there are costs behind the gains.
The more densely populated a place is, the greater the probability of danger. Ensuring the safety of such a place requires an effort that is incomparable to other places.
Shen Xu randomly found a restaurant with a wide view and sat down, quietly waiting for Lu Qingshan to pass by.
"Why should I get involved in this mess? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the ancient forest and cultivate properly?" After a long time, looking at the flow of people coming and going outside the window, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh to himself.
"Elder Cao, I know you've already obtained the handbook for tomorrow's Class B auction. I wonder if you have any good stuff? Tell us so the brothers can see what you've got," a burly man asked a woman in purple at the restaurant.
"Bao Min, your Heshan Dao dares to come to Tianjian City to join the fun? Aren't you afraid someone will use your head to exchange for a Nourishing Yuan Pill?" Cao Yuening said with a sneer.
“My wanted poster is at the Jingjiang Prefecture Pavilion. I have never provoked the Four Directions Sword Alliance. Moreover, the Four Directions Sword Alliance’s Book of Judgments covers the entire Tianjian City. As long as I am still in Tianjian City, who would dare to lay a hand on me?”
"I'm very curious to know how you came to the Four Directions Sword Alliance. Did the Jingjiang Prefecture allow you to use the teleportation array?"
"How about we make a deal? You give me your manual, and I'll tell you how I got to the Four Directions Sword Alliance."
"What, you want to mess with that auction? I think you're tired of living."
"I wouldn't dare, I was just a little curious!"
"It's easy to find out what's being auctioned. Just show your assets, or if there are items up for auction, and you can get the auction catalog."
If you don't have either of those two things and still insist on inquiring about the items being auctioned, it's hard not to suspect you have ulterior motives, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself.
“Since Elder Cao is unwilling to make the deal, I, Bao, will not force him. Farewell!” Bao Min said with a smile as he took his leave.
"It should be farewell forever, I don't want to see your ugly face again." Cao Yuening frowned. She was a little confused as to why Bao Min wanted to find her. Was it really just for that handbook?
Shen Xu's heart immediately tightened upon seeing this scene. He could sense the aura of the Blood Fiend Palace's techniques on Bao Min, and Bao Min had even left the Blood Fiend Palace's unique mark on the woman in purple.
"What have you found out?" On a high pavilion in the distance, a tall young man in black asked Lu Qingshan with his back to him.
Lu Qingshan respectfully replied, "Bao Min is a cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm from the Heshan Dao, a heretical sect in Jingjiang Prefecture. He committed three massacres in Jingjiang Prefecture and is a mid-level wanted cultivator in Jingjiang Prefecture."
According to the disciple in charge of the teleportation plaza, among the Yuan Dan realm cultivators who have recently arrived at the Sword Alliance via the teleportation array, Bao Min's registration has not been found. If he wasn't already with the Sword Alliance, then he must have arrived using someone else's identity.
"Is that all?" the young man in black asked coldly, his face expressionless.
“Recently, Bao Min has been inquiring about the auction for the 'B' class tomorrow. In addition, I investigated the people Bao Min has been in contact with recently and found that his target is very clear: he has been contacting people who came to the Sword Alliance from Jingjiang Prefecture.”
Although they didn't act in any way, I suspect they were secretly plotting to sabotage the auction.
"It's good to have this kind of vigilance. With your strength and status, it's already quite impressive that you've found out so much, but it's too foolish!" the black-robed youth rebuked coldly.
"Please enlighten me, Captain!" Lu Qingshan said, bowing.
"Your identity as a Sword Alliance disciple is not your shield, nor is the Book of Judgments a license for you to act with impunity. You, a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, are investigating the contacts of a heretical Yuan Dan Realm cultivator. If you want to die, I won't stop you."
Furthermore, after the Seven Luminaries Sect closed its inter-domain array, I don't believe any organization would dare to try and auction off items in front of you Venerable Ones. Your skepticism makes me seriously doubt your intelligence.
"Thank you for your guidance, Captain!" Lu Qingshan lowered his head.
"Although these heretical cultivators dare not do anything to the auction, they still have the guts to take advantage of the auction's chaos. I suspect their target is not the auction itself, but the cultivators who came from Jingjiang Prefecture to attend it."
However, as long as they don't make a move within Heavenly Sword City, don't interfere with them. But we can't completely ignore them either. I've already listed him as a key target for the Sword Alliance. The rest is none of your concern.
"Shen Xu seems to be waiting for you. Go and see him!" After saying this, the young man in black robes waved his hand, and Lu Qingshan respectfully withdrew.
