Chapter 165 Sudden Change at the Auction

Tianyuan Sect, Auction House.

After breaking through her cultivation level, Nan Siqi's senses about her surroundings became quite acute.

At this moment, Nan Siqi truly understood how the world appeared in the eyes of a master.

However, just as Nan Siqi was feeling overjoyed, she suddenly realized that the number of experts who had come to the auction today seemed to be much greater than yesterday.

Among them, there were at least three fourth-rank experts!

This immediately aroused Nan Siqi's vigilance.

Under normal circumstances, while there are fourth-rank experts, there shouldn't be so many appearing all at once.

And there were several other people that Nan Siqi didn't recognize.

If they were all from the martial arts circle of Jinyuan City, Nan Siqi wouldn't have failed to recognize the other party if he possessed a fourth-grade cultivation level.

Of all these people, Nan Siqi only knew one of them.

This person was Yuan Xiaolin, the newly appointed sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Nan Siqi didn't pay much attention to Yuan Xiaolin, only knowing that he was originally the deputy sect leader.

He was just announced as the new sect leader a couple of days ago.

How this guy became the sect leader was not something that Nan Siqi cared about.

Instead, there were two other fourth-rank experts. Although they seemed to be complete strangers to Yuan Xiaolin, Nan Siqi observed that there might be something strange about them.

Not only that.

Although all those present at the event were martial arts masters from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world).

However, Nan Siqi discovered that there was a group of people here with an aura that seemed to be like that of soldiers, possessing a unique iron-blooded aura that belonged to soldiers, which was extremely unusual.

"Master Nan, Steward Xu and the others have arrived."

A maid's voice interrupted Nan Siqi's thoughts.

When Nan Siqi heard that it was Xu Jing and the others who had arrived, she immediately put aside all her other matters.

Although the people who came were rather strange, Nan Siqi didn't think they would pose a danger. They were probably all there for the items at the auction.

Because of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect incident, the atmosphere at the auction has become somewhat tense.

The people in charge of planning the auction also planned to move a lot of items to today for auction.

Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes.

The sooner you sell your items and secure your profits, the more important it is.

Nan Siqi was only responsible for guarding, and didn't need to worry about anything else.

Soon after, Nan Siqi went to meet Xu Jing and the others.

Because his own cultivation level had broken through to the fourth rank.

This is a huge step forward for Nan Siqi.

Many people's cultivation is stuck at this level.

To be honest, if it weren't for Lu Xuan's pill, Nan Siqi probably would never have been able to break through to the fourth rank in her lifetime.

Because the momentum for breakthroughs will likely occur within the next year or two.

If you don't fight for it, it might be wasted, and you'll lose your chance for promotion, because your last breath will be crushed.

"Master Xu, welcome, welcome..."

"Where is Master Lu?"

Nan Siqi asked curiously.

In Nan Siqi's opinion, the relationship between Xu Jing and Lu Xuan should be very good.

"We don't know either. We haven't seen him since that incident this morning."

Xu Jing said.

The commotion caused by the Northern Spirit Pill Sect was quite significant.

However, the rise and fall of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect did not affect the business of their Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

Gu Yun Pharmacy's strategy is not to seize the business share vacated by the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

On the contrary, that portion of the business was deliberately set aside and left there to alleviate competitive pressure.

If you don't have this share, then other businesses in the market will come to compete with you.

However, if this portion of the business is offered up, many people will focus on competing for it, rather than trying to cause trouble for Gu Yun Pharmacy.

Sometimes, having a monopoly is not necessarily a good thing.

However, in the afternoon.

The Chu family also found Xu Jing and Wang Maocai.

We discussed the follow-up situation.

Personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business.

The Chu family was also very clear about this.

Everything that needed to be agreed upon was discussed with Xu Jing, and boundaries were clearly defined.

It wouldn't be unreasonable for the two parties to cooperate and control the market that influences the entire Jinyuan City.

Xu Jing also learned about this from the Chu family.

Lu Xuan went to the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

But why he hasn't returned for so long remains unknown.

"Master Lu told me before that he went to the Northern Spirit Pill Sect."

"You don't need to worry. With Master Lu's strength, there shouldn't be anyone in the Northern Spirit Pill Sect who can match him."

"Perhaps there will be other opportunities."

Nan Siqi also offered words of comfort.

Xu Jing nodded slightly in agreement. Based on her understanding of Lu Xuan, he wouldn't do anything that was risky.

Although it was indeed a bit high-profile in Jinyuan City.

But in reality, everything was under Lu Xuan's control.

"By the way, what happened with Xu Dingyan? Has anything come of it from the capital?"

Nan Siqi remembered this matter and immediately asked.

Previously, her cultivation level was too weak, only at the third-grade perfection level, far from being able to help Lu Xuan with his troubles.

But now she has reached the fourth rank of cultivation.

Helping Lu Xuan deal with Xu Dingyan's father shouldn't be too difficult.

After all, Xu Dingyan's father, Xu Wangshan, wasn't exactly a powerful figure; he was merely a direct descendant of the Xu family.

Of course, if Lu Xuan was the only fourth-rank player before, the other party might have been a bit arrogant.

But now we have Nan Siqi, who is also a fourth-rank master.

Then Xu Wangshan would definitely not be able to act arrogantly.

"I received news that Xu Dingyan's father, Xu Wangshan, has already set off and summoned experts from several martial arts schools. Clearly, he has come with ill intentions."

Xu Jing also spoke with a solemn expression.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

His son had only been in office in Jinyuan City for a few days when he was murdered.

This matter is obviously not going to end well.

"It's alright, I'll take responsibility for this."

Nan Siqi nodded and said quite righteously.

Xu Jing was also deeply moved upon hearing this.

However, he didn't have much hope, because Nan Siqi was, after all, a prodigy of the Tianyuan Sect. To put it bluntly, the people in power in the Tianyuan Sect wouldn't allow Nan Siqi to act recklessly.

After all, Nan Siqi's every move represents the Tianyuan Sect.

Of course, it's enough for Nan Siqi to have such a heart.

Many people would avoid such a situation, but none would be as righteous as Nan Siqi, who took on the task without saying a word.

"Then thank you very much, Fairy Nan."

Xu Jing also cupped her hands in greeting.

Nan Siqi owed Lu Xuan a favor, and those fourth-grade pills weren't something just anyone could refine, so it was only right for Nan Siqi to step in.

At this time, people gradually arrived.

The auction was also announced to have begun.

After leaving Xu Jing's private room, Nan Siqi went to her post and kept an eye on the people who had come to bid.

However, Nan Siqi still keenly sensed it.

Something was off about the atmosphere.

"Someone come here..."

Nan Siqi immediately said.

A disciple of the Tianyuan Sect immediately came.

"Go to the city lord's mansion immediately and have them send someone to identify the person. I suspect there are people from the Night Liang Kingdom among them."

The City Lord's Mansion has confirmed the collusion between the Northern Spirit Pill Sect and the Night Liang Kingdom this afternoon, and has arrested a number of people.

Nan Siqi is a protector of the Tianyuan Sect.

And he's in charge of protecting this auction.

Naturally, they knew about the intelligence regarding the Liang Kingdom that night.

The commotion that occurred in Liang Kingdom that night was most likely aimed at their own auction.

Therefore, Nan Siqi was not careless.

It's always good to have someone come and take a look.

After all, without evidence, Nan Siqi couldn't just drag the person out directly.

"yes!"

The Yuan Sect disciple immediately responded and then quickly ran out.

Nan Siqi was waiting for a reply.

The auction was about halfway through.

Suddenly.

Some of the people sitting in the seats suddenly unleashed their cultivation levels.

And he quickly drew his sword.

Before anyone could react, they saw the person next to them raise their sword and slash down.

Fortunately, these people's reactions were not weak.

Only three or five people were injured; the rest all fled.

The entire auction hall was thrown into chaos.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures appeared, one in front of the other.

One person leaped and landed on the auction stage.

With a single palm strike, he killed the auctioneer who was conducting the auction.

The other person flew to the exit of the auction house, releasing the Yuan Gang power within him, instantly killing two Tianyuan Sect disciples guarding the exit.

boom!

The two bodies flew backward.

Some of the Tianyuan Sect disciples who were guarding the area hadn't even reacted when they saw the auctioneer being killed, and they were all shocked.

He quickly drew his weapon and rushed toward the stage.

They were on high alert.

But I really didn't expect that someone would actually dare to target Tianyuan Sect's auction.

The person on the auction stage let out a low shout and released a burst of Yuan Gang power, activating a lotus-shaped jade artifact in his hand.

Instantly, the lotus flower shone brightly.

All the Tianyuan Sect disciples who rushed up were blasted away.

At the same time, the emitted light directly covered the entire auction.

Suddenly, the entire auction was as if it were covered by a thick wall, and everything was confined to the auction venue.

"Hehe, don't make any rash moves."

"We only seek wealth, not lives."

"Hand over your storage rings one by one."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame us for being impolite."

The person in the stands was a thin, short old man.

After releasing the lotus formation in his hand.

The people at the exit immediately released their own Yuan Gang power, merging it into the formation to directly reinforce it.

With these two layers of defense, even if everyone present attacked at the same time, they would not be able to break through in a short period of time.

I saw the influx of Yuan Gang power.

The old man on the stage.

He appeared much more relaxed.

Looking at these people in front of him, he saw them as lambs to the slaughter.

He just counted carefully; there were more than three thousand people here today.

Even if each person carries 10,000 taels of silver, that's still more than 30 million!

Where else can you make money this easily?

However, this happened right after the announcement.

Suddenly, from the side of the auction hall, a sharp sword aura, like moonlight falling, swiftly struck a weak point in the lotus formation.

boom!

This force of Moon Shadow Sword Qi was crisp and sharp.

With a single sword strike, a huge hole was blasted open in the formation!
