Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 382 Another master comes!
Along with that arrogant roar, a group of strong men as fierce as wolves and tigers rushed out from the crowd with great momentum.

Relying on their large numbers, they quickly blocked the entrance to Baojian Hall like a tide, and all the guests who were about to enter were roughly pushed aside without exception.

Even Liang Jin and Yu Linglong were not spared and were forcibly stopped aside.

This group of strong men were all warriors. Although their martial arts skills were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Liang Jin and Yu Linglong, they all released their aura in unison, and the deterrent power was enough to make many guests who were about to get angry suppress their anger.

This group of warriors were blocking the door in a carefree manner, not in a hurry to go in. Instead, they seemed to be waiting respectfully for the arrival of an important person.

Soon, a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly stopped at the door of Baojian Hall.

A servant knelt obediently on the ground, willingly serving as a human bench.

The carriage door slowly opened, and a man dressed in gorgeous silk, who looked like a middle-aged wealthy businessman, stepped slowly on the back of the servant and walked down.

The wealthy businessman looked to be about fifty years old, and his skin was dark and rough from years of exposure to wind and sun.

Although he deliberately dressed up as a wealthy businessman, the murderous look in his eyes revealed that he was not a good person.

What is particularly shocking is that his cultivation level has reached the terrifying fifth level!

You know, in Hualongmen, a fifth-grade realm is already qualified to be a deacon.

As the wealthy businessman appeared, the group of strong men who had been blocking the door saluted in unison, their voices echoing all around:

"Welcome Seventh Master!!!"

This thunderous shout startled everyone around.

At this moment, anyone who tried to enter Baojian Hall before this middle-aged wealthy businessman would be brutally stopped by this group of strong men.

Even some people who wanted to argue were grabbed by the neck and thrown out by these strong men like chickens.

This scene immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people around:

"This is Master Qi Qi, the great seafarer! People like him who sail on the sea all year round are desperate criminals who hang their heads on their belts. Don't mess with them!"

"Master Qi Qi has reportedly made a fortune over the years and has recruited many followers. While he may not be considered a top figure on the land of Dongzhou, he is a well-known figure at sea!"

"Yes, these seafarers are businessmen on land, but once they are at sea, they are almost equivalent to pirates. If the merchant ships do not give them enough benefits, they may even lose their lives."

"Being able to attract a great traveler like Qi Qiye, the auction at Baojian Hall tonight must have many rare treasures. They might even be rare treasures that are rarely seen in the world."

……

The so-called seafarers are those who frequently go out to sea to engage in business activities.

Being honored as a "great" seafarer, it is obvious that Qi Qiye is also a well-known and powerful person among seafarers.

As the crowd was talking, the man known as Qi Qiye walked slowly into the Baojian Hall with steady steps.

The group of strong men blocking the door quickly withdrew and followed him in.

Seeing this, Yu Linglong couldn't help but frown slightly, turned to Liang Jin and asked:

"Xiongba, is this the kind of... brainless villain you were talking about?"

As she spoke, she was already rubbing her hands together, eager to give it a try, wishing she could beat these guys up right away.

After all, no one had ever dared to push her aside so rudely and block her way.

Liang Jin smiled slightly and said:

"That might be true, but Qi Qi Ye doesn't look like a brainless person."

"He probably acted this way to create a strong momentum at the auction, thereby suppressing the momentum of other bidders."

When Yu Linglong heard this, she looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Liang Jin patiently explained:
"Bidding at an auction isn't just about financial strength; momentum is also a crucial factor."

"Some people will deliberately use tactics outside the auction venue to suppress their competitors' momentum and boost their own. This way, when the bidding actually begins, their competitors will be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, making it more likely they will lose the auction."

"This Qi Qi Ye deliberately put on such a grand display and was so rude to the other guests. I guess he wanted to suppress everyone's momentum."

After hearing this, Yu Linglong immediately became very interested.

She had never seen these new and interesting things in books.

Immediately, she said excitedly:
"Xiongba, we can play like this too!"

When Liang Jin heard this, he quickly dissuaded him:
"Miss, this is unacceptable."

"Li Xueqing might be in this city, so we'd better keep a low profile."

Yu Linglong felt that Liang Jin was right and had no choice but to give up.

But she still stared at the direction where Qi Qiye left, gritted her teeth and said:
"Xiongba, I'll keep a close eye on him from now on. We'll take pictures of everything he takes pictures of and make sure he leaves empty-handed!"

It is not difficult to see that Yu Linglong is quite vengeful.

And this Mr. Qi Qi probably still has no idea that he has offended someone he cannot afford to offend.

Liang Jin didn't care about this. After all, it was not his money that was being spent, and Yu Linglong was very wealthy, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the Baojian Hall together.

As soon as you step into Baojian Hall, you feel like you are in an extremely luxurious mansion.

The pavilions and terraces here are arranged in an orderly manner, the rockery and pools complement each other, and every detail shows the ultimate luxury.

Although the Baojian Hall is large in scale, fortunately there are graceful maids leading the way respectfully along the way.

The two walked along the winding corridor and soon arrived at a beautifully decorated hall.

The hall is divided into two floors, and different floors represent the seating areas for people of different identities.

There are some exquisite tables and chairs on the first floor. Those who can sit here are all people of noble status.

The second floor is composed of independent private rooms, and the people sitting inside are all people of extremely noble status.

Liang Jin and Yu Linglong naturally went straight to the box on the second floor.

The last time Liang Jin came to Bi Bo City, he had already instructed the disciples of Hualongmen to arrange everything.

There is a gauze curtain in the box. Once lowered, it can effectively block other people's sight and make it impossible to see the appearance of the person sitting in the box.

What is particularly thoughtful is that the private room on the second floor has an independent passage, which allows guests to quietly leave along this passage after the auction to avoid being disturbed by others.

Liang Jin and the other man did not lower the gauze curtain. After all, they had disguised themselves now and did not need to worry about being recognized.

After the two of them sat down leisurely by the window, they looked down at the auction scene from a high vantage point.

The entire auction hall was bustling with people, with at least a hundred people participating. Those who could come here were undoubtedly rich or noble.

At the end of the first floor, there is a carefully arranged auction table, which is where the auction items are displayed.

"Xiongba, look!"

Yu Linglong suddenly pointed at the entrance of the hall and said excitedly:

"A master has arrived!"

Anyone who can be called a master by Yu Linglong is naturally no ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin immediately looked over.

But when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but smile softly in his heart.

Because the master who walked in was none other than Zou Cifeng, who was known as the best master in Dongzhou.

Zou Cifeng walked into the hall with a group of people in a dignified manner.

Seeing this, the martial artists all stood up and saluted him respectfully. Zou Cifeng had white hair and a youthful face, and he was energetic. His every move and gesture had the demeanor of a master.

As soon as he appeared, he instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Many warriors gathered around, surrounding Zou Cifeng like stars surrounding the moon, expressing their admiration.

Zou Cifeng also kept bowing to everyone, showing his noble demeanor.

In the hall, the discussion about him reached Liang Jin and Yu Linglong's ears clearly:

"It's actually Master Zou himself! Master Zou is the leading figure in our Dongzhou martial arts world!"

"I heard that Mr. Zou's target this time is a Soul Jade. But what exactly is this Soul Jade? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Anyway, anything that Mr. Zou likes must be a rare treasure. We must not compete with Mr. Zou. If we accidentally offend him, there will be no place for us in the entire Dongzhou martial arts world!"

……

Listening to everyone's discussions, Yu Linglong seemed to be lost in thought.

She then seemed to remember something and said hurriedly:

"I remember now. I've heard of this old man."

"Seven years ago, when Elder Li was traveling around the martial arts world, he once fought him secretly. At that time, Elder Li defeated him within ten moves."

"After returning to the sect, Elder Li once said that this so-called number one expert in Dongzhou was nothing but an exaggeration."

After listening to this, Liang Jin didn't expect that Li Xueqing had such a history of exchanges with Zou Cifeng.

However, he believed in Li Xueqing's words without a doubt.

With Li Xueqing's superb poison skills, it is indeed not difficult to defeat a warrior of the same level.

At this moment, Zou Cifeng glanced vaguely at the box where Liang Jin was, and then led everyone from Xiafei Villa to the second floor.

They then walked into the box opposite.

However, Zou Cifeng quickly pulled down the gauze curtain in his box, as if he didn't want others to peek at him.

Immediately afterwards, another group of people appeared at the auction.

This group of people were actually disciples of Hualongmen.

Although they were wearing casual clothes, careful people would find that the clothes had the unique secret markings of Hualongmen on them.

This mark is difficult for outsiders to detect, but disciples in the sect can recognize it at a glance.

Seeing this, Yu Linglong frowned slightly and asked doubtfully:

"Is that the newly appointed purchasing manager, Yan You? Why does he seem... a little weird?"

"Why are there so many people from Hualongmen attending this auction?"

Liang Jin's gaze instantly locked onto the leading disciple.

Judging from appearance alone, this person is indeed exactly the same as Yan You from Hualongmen.

However, Liang Jin, with the features of [Thousand Mile Tracking] and [Daily Intelligence], already knew that the real Yan You had been kidnapped.

The person who appeared in front of him at this moment was actually Zhuying, one of the four famous detectives of the Six Gates.

I have to say that this shadow chaser is indeed quite capable.

Liang Jin looked at it carefully and could not see any flaws in its appearance.

The reason why Yu Linglong thought he was weird was because she had seen Sima Nian using "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" to conceal his cultivation.

Sima Nian gave everyone a very strange feeling at that time. This was because "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" would unconsciously reveal flaws when facing masters with a huge gap in realm.

Liang Jin really wanted to tell Yu Linglong that the person in front of him was not Yan You, but Zhuying, one of the Four Famous Constables.

But he thought about it again and again, and finally did not say it directly.

Otherwise, if Yu Linglong asked him how he knew this, he couldn't just say he relied on system intelligence, right? Even if he fabricated other intelligence channels, it would be difficult to justify it now.

After all, the deacon of Hualongmen was kidnapped and impersonated by Zhuying. Such a serious matter should be reported to the sect immediately.

Liang Jin concealed the matter and delayed it until now, which is a serious violation.

So Liang Jin changed his statement:
"Really? After hearing what the young lady said, I also feel that he is a little strange. It seems that he gave me the same feeling as Sima Nian, the spy from the Six Gates."

Yu Linglong nodded immediately upon hearing this, agreeing greatly:
"That's right! That's what it feels like!"

"Although he exudes the aura of a fifth-grade realm, his meridians are abnormally broad, just like Sima Nian of the Six Gates. He doesn't look like a fifth-grade warrior at all!"

This is exactly the effect Liang Jin wanted.

He did not report it proactively, but instead guided Yu Linglong to become suspicious.

In this way, he can then act according to his plan:

"Don't worry, Miss. After the auction is over, I will personally ask him out and investigate him thoroughly."

"If he really has a problem, I will never let him off easily."

Liang Jin had originally planned to expose Zhuying's true identity after the auction and stage a wonderful show of catching a spy for Yu Linglong.

Since Yu Linglong had noticed something unusual in advance, it would be a good opportunity to proceed accordingly.

Taking advantage of his free time, Liang Jin used the feature of [Thousand Mile Tracking] to check Li Xueqing's whereabouts.

Liang Jin would not miss any opportunity to keep track of his mortal enemy Li Xueqing's movements.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, Liang Jin couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

On the [Thousand Mile Tracking] panel, Li Xueqing was so close to him at this moment!
She is definitely in this Baojian Hall!

This was beyond Liang Jin's expectation. What was Li Xueqing's intention in appearing here?

Could it be... that they are here to catch Yu Linglong in the act?

For a moment, Liang Jin couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong.

At this moment, Yu Linglong spoke again:
"Xiongba, look, another master has arrived!"

"The one who came this time is a genuine master."

Liang Jin immediately looked downstairs.

Sure enough, a young man in white walked into the hall slowly with elegant steps.

This young man in white has a fair and beardless face, is elegant and has an outstanding temperament.

Liang Jin was unable to see through his strength, which only meant that his realm was most likely above Liang Jin's.

After the young man in white entered the scene, his eyes seemed to glance at Yan You and his group intentionally or unintentionally from time to time.

At this time, Yan You and others had already walked towards the box on the second floor.

The young man in white paused for a moment and then followed.

Liang Jin frowned slightly, wondering:
"Where did this expert come from?"

He once again used the [Thousand Mile Tracking] feature to check Li Xueqing's location, but found that Li Xueqing was closer to him.

It’s probably only a dozen meters away!
Not only is she in Baojian Hall, but she is definitely at the auction site!
