Chapter 847: Chapter 844: At the Auction_1
“Subordinate will keep that in mind, Sect Leader. I’ve suffered quite a few losses at the hands of that Yang guy. If I really find him, I will grind his bones to dust, and kill him for good.” The Black Scorpion Envoy mimicked a cutting motion with his hand.
As he said, there was no love lost between him and Yang Chen!
Fu Longyue sat in his chair and said, “I’m very satisfied with your fighting spirit, but it’s a shame that Ling Nvzong left with Mei Xiuying too quickly and couldn’t provide any effective help to us. With Ling Nvzong’s help, our chances of catching that Yang kid would be much greater.”
“Sect Leader, you forgot that Ling Nvzong left this object for us!” The Black Scorpion Envoy suddenly took out an item. It was an oddly-shaped pass, emitting a very unique Qi.
Seeing this, Fu Longyue was startled for a moment, “Ling Nvzong left this item behind, and I actually forgot about it. Haha, with this pass, our chances of catching that Yang kid will be much greater. Good, very good!”
“Sect Leader, but we don’t have the Qi of that Yang kid. How can we catch him with this object?” someone asked.
The Black Scorpion Envoy laughed, “Are you stupid? We’ve captured Jiang Caiying’s Qi before, and with her Qi stored in this pass, how can we not find that Yang kid?”
Everyone suddenly realized.
That’s right, the reason they were always able to lock on and find Jiang Caiying was because of this pass. With the pass, they could easily analyze the general location of those whose Qi was absorbed.
That was why the numerous Black Dragon Sect teams were always able to search for Jiang Caiying in a very accurate location.
Jiang Caiying herself didn’t even know this.
“As long as Yang Chen is with Jiang Caiying, we’ll guarantee his death!” The Black Scorpion Envoy licked his lips.
“Black Scorpion, I’ll leave this mission to you. When you return, I hope to see you bring Yang Chen back alive. Remember, catch him alive. If we hand him over to Ling Nvzong, it will be a great deal, and they won’t treat us poorly.” Fu Longyue said slowly.
The Black Scorpion Envoy’s eyes shone, while the other Black Dragon Sect Messengers and Elders all sighed and plained internally. They thought the Black Scorpion Envoy had gotten really lucky to receive such a high chance of success mission. Why did such a good thing fall on the Black Scorpion Envoy’s head?
If this mission was successful, the Black Scorpion Envoy would surely be greatly rewarded.
…
Unaware that the Black Scorpion Envoy led a large number of Black Dragon Sect martial artists to search for and kill him, Yang Chen arrived at the West Wind Auction venue on time with Jiang Caiying five days later.
“Do you have an invitation?” The gatekeeper at the entrance of the West Wind Auction asked, holding out his hand.
“If we don’t have an invitation, how can we get in?” Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying asked together.
“No invitation? If you want to get in without an invitation, it’ll cost you a Top-grade Spirit Stone. Can you afford it?” The gatekeeper sneered.
It’s not that he’s looking down on them, but the West Wind Auction only targeted the surrounding three cities. All the influential figures within the three cities had been sent invitations. Even without an invitation, these forces should be able to afford a Top-grade Spirit Stone.
Those who didn’t receive invitations were not powerful people. Even if they had some Spirit Stones, they probably wouldn’t spend a Top-grade Spirit Stone to attend the auction.
Yang Chen? He guessed that he was some new, ignorant youngster who thought he could join the bustling scene just because he saw the extravagant auction venue.
However, it was a pity that this wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.
“Hey, no invitation? Get out of here! The West Wind Auction only sends invitations to people with power and influence. Where did you e from, you wild child!”
“Yes, get out of here. This is my invitation.” An obese old man behind them intervened.
As soon as he received the invitation, the gatekeeper’s expression changed instantly, and he said cheerfully: “So it’s Senior Yu, please e in, please e in!”
The obese old man didn’t even glance at Yang Chen, and went straight in before him.
Seeing that Yang Chen still had no intention of leaving, the gatekeeper said impatiently: “Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t you understand what I said?”
Yang Chen’s mouth curled up: “I understood very well. Just one Top-grade Spirit Stone!”
As soon as his words fell, Yang Chen directly took out two Top-grade Spirit Stones.
“Two stones, for the both of us. How about it?” Yang Chen said coldly.
The West Wind Auction was really ripping off those without invitations, but fortunately, Yang Chen didn’t care about one or two Top-grade Spirit Stones.
However, Yang Chen’s lavish spending surprised the gatekeeper and those holding invitation letters behind him. Casually throwing out two Top-grade Spirit Stones to attend the auction showed a boldness that they didn’t possess.
Yang Chen ignored the gatekeeper’s astonished gaze and entered the auction with Jiang Caiying.
The two of them found a random seat and sat down, waiting for the people to arrive and the auction to begin.
“Yang Chen, why did you change your appearance again with the Face Changing Technique?” Jiang Caiying couldn’t help but ask, “It’s just an auction, it doesn’t seem necessary.”
“You don’t know anything. The people from the Black Dragon Sect already know Wang Zhuihe’s appearance, and they won’t let me off that easily,” Yang Chen said slowly. “They definitely won’t give up so easily. I’m doing this just for safety’s sake. Also, Miss Jiang, try not to let your Qi leak out as much as possible to avoid the Black Dragon Sect having other means to find you. They should be well-aware of your Qi.”
Yang Chen had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.
Logically, he should have considered everything.
He thought it over and suddenly said, “Miss Jiang, by all accounts, with the Great Shift Gold Bead, you should have been able to escape all the way to Huangsha County. It doesn’t make sense for the people from the Black Dragon Sect to be able to hunt you down so accurately. After all, the journey is so vast, spanning several counties. As long as you’re careful, it shouldn’t be difficult to avoid the Black Dragon Sect.”
“Strictly speaking, that’s true. But I don’t know what happened either. The Black Dragon Sect people always seem to be able to find my general location.” Jiang Caiying furrowed her brows, “Maybe it’s because of the wanted order. After all, I don’t have your Face Changing Technique to change my appearance anytime. Anyone who sees me could report it to the Black Dragon Sect, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to find me.”
Yang Chen nodded, and this reason seemed most likely. But in his heart, he wondered, was it really just this?
He felt it wasn’t the case. Just as he was about to ask some more questions to confirm his suspicions,
But the next moment, his eyebrows raised as he noticed a familiar face!
