The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Tonight's scam is large-scale. Although there will be collateral damage, Chi Miao had already discussed it with Jin Dapang beforehand.

Half of the profits gained tonight must be spent on the people of Tianjian City, so that they can have a little breathing room when facing powerful forces.

Meanwhile, the losses suffered by the aristocratic families and the Heavenly Sword Sect tonight are extremely terrifying.

First, there's the gambler's mentality; second, there's the mentality of taking a chance; and third, there's only one Dragon Pattern Jade, and they all want it, so they're scrambling to spend money.

But this money isn't so easy to come up with. 100,000 high-grade spirit stones is a lot; how many times can they come up with that amount?

But this opportunity only comes today.

If they want to use money for testing, they can only extract it from the industry. If they extract too much, they will be severely weakened, and a rift in trust will develop between them.

This shouldn't have happened.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Sword Sect blocked the news, and only the wealthy people of Heavenly Sword City knew about it. Tonight, those who came here were basically all wealthy families from Heavenly Sword City.

Chi Miao's plan was a clever one, aiming to dismantle these powerful families and sects that were oppressing the people from within.

Since the people have placed such high regard on her, she will certainly not let them down.

She was definitely not a goddess who merely received offerings in the temple without doing anything.

After hearing the entire plan, the members of the Prodigy Group were completely dumbfounded!

"what?"

"ah??"

"ah???"

Jin Shengfei: "Didn't we agree that we were just going to prank the Heavenly Sword Sect and teach them a lesson?"

Yu Wuxin: "Yeah, didn't we agree to go for something abstract?"

Rong Xuanji: "You've schemed so much, that's impressive..."

Song Chenxing: "You're even better at calculations than me..."

Yun Yao pursed her lips and silently took out her notebook to write it down.

That's amazing, she achieves so much with one action, she's going to analyze it word by word!

Jingming didn't speak, but he leaned his ear closer to Chi Miao.

Ying Wuhuo was comprehending the ruthless sword intent on the side. He was born with a sword spirit, and his learning speed was astonishingly fast whenever it came to anything related to swords.

In such a short time, he had already grasped the profound mystery of this sword intent.

With her hands behind her back, unsure of who her opponent was, Chi Miao said, "Pursuing the Heavenly Sword Sect is just a side matter. Tell me, isn't that a bit abstract?"

Everyone: "..."

You've really gotten away with it; you even managed to fool them.

hateful!

Looking at the scene below, they couldn't even imagine how much the residents of Tianjian City would admire them when this happened in the future.

Chi Miao: "With a little trick, I, Chi Miao, have wiped out the wealth of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Soon, fewer and fewer people were testing the dragon-patterned jade, and more and more people were crying.

"I shouldn't have gambled! How could I possibly have gotten that piece of jade with dragon patterns? Now I've lost my house, my wife has run away! My money... my money!"

"Let me gamble! I can still gamble! I have real estate to mortgage! I... I have a baby son who's still in swaddling clothes to try! Let me try one more time!"

The Heavenly Sword Sect threw down one million high-grade spirit stones, but there was absolutely no reaction.

Heavenly Sword Sect Elder: "Sect Master! Stop! Let's not gamble anymore. If this continues, our sect's finances will be in ruins!!"

Wenren Xiao clutched his head, completely devastated by gambling, his eyes bloodshot: "There's still a chance! This is something from the Tantric sect! It's Dragon Pattern Jade!"

"Even if... even without the ability to revive the dead and heal the wounded, we can still establish a connection with the Tantric sect through this thing. If the Tantric sect supports my Heavenly Sword Sect, my Heavenly Sword Sect will surely rise to prominence!"

"I...I can still!"

His body was covered in wounds; he had cut himself many times, big and small.

Extremely disheveled.

At this moment, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect slapped Wenren Xiao across the face!

Wenren Xiao was stunned by the beating.

The Heavenly Sword Sect elder roared, "Wake up! You're not even remotely acting like a sect leader anymore! You've gambled way too much! This Dragon Pattern Jade might just be a fake! You...you wake up!!"

Wenren Xiao's pupils contracted, and she murmured abruptly, "Fake?"

He looked at the auctioneer.

Suddenly.

Wenren Xiao's Mahayana stage cultivator power surged, unleashing a massive wave of spiritual energy that sent everyone in the Wan Jin Auction House flying.

His eyes were sinister and terrifying. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the auctioneer on the stage by the neck: "How could this dragon-patterned jade not recognize its owner? There are so many people here, can't even one person become the owner of the dragon-patterned jade?!"

"You...you Wan Jin Auction House dare to try and fool us with counterfeit goods? Either give us our money back, or...die!!!"

In Miaohua Continent, a cultivator at the Mahayana stage is equivalent to the sect leader of one of the ten major sects; they are the strongest among the strong.

No one expected him to make a sudden move.

This immediately caused chaos at the scene, with everyone else trying to escape for fear of being accidentally injured.

But it was only the instant they reached the door that they were stopped.

Wenren Xiao unleashed a sword aura that cleaved down the gate of the Wan Jin Auction House, breaking through its defensive formation and causing the entire area to collapse.

boom--!

"If Wan Jin Auction House doesn't give me an explanation today, nobody's leaving!"

"Whoever leaves! I'll kill them! Don't blame me for being ruthless... blame Wan Jin Auction House!"

"How dare they try to fool me with counterfeit goods? They're incredibly audacious!"

At this point, regardless of whether it's a counterfeit or not, he'll force this charge onto them.

He couldn't accept that he had spent millions of high-grade spirit stones only to end up with nothing.

Jin Dapang panicked for a moment: "This..."

In that very instant.

Chi Miao smiled gently and stopped him: "I'll take care of it."

"Since he's willing to damage his own reputation, then he can't blame me."

Yun Yao worriedly said, "What are you going to do? He's completely insane right now. If you go over there, he might actually attack you!"

Even if Wenren Xiao's Mahayana stage is still illusory, he is still at the Mahayana stage. Killing Chi Miao, a half-step Golden Core cultivator, would be a piece of cake!

Chi Miao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything dangerous. I'm not the kind of person who's brainless."

"Didn't he say this dragon-patterned jade is fake? Then I'll show him whether this dragon-patterned jade is fake or not, and whether it will recognize its owner."

She walked to the door of the VIP box, opened it, and then turned around with a contemptuous smile.

"However, if he were to lay a hand on me, I would be more than happy to accept it."

"Those who have attacked me so far have all met with a bad end."

After saying that, she fell, summoned the Weeping Sword in mid-air, and stood in the air, dressed in red, with her feet on the spirit sword.

Her voice was icy, as if she were addressing everyone from the Heavenly Sword Sect who had joined the fray at the Ten Thousand Gold Auction House:

"The facts and rules are clear, so you can't afford to lose now?"

"Anyone want to make a bet with me?"

"Let's bet... whether this dragon-patterned jade is fake or not!"
