Chapter 825: The Mysterious Gateless Auction House
"Wumen Auction House?" Qin Shi frowned in surprise: "You are saying that such a large amount of funds all came from Wumen Auction House?"
"That's not all. After all, Qin Zong now spans four major regions and has hundreds of industries. The daily income from these industries is also very huge, but the total income only accounts for one-third of this fund.
One, and the remaining two-thirds are all from Wumen Auction House." Ling Xiao explained: "During this year, our disciples have worked closely with Wumen Auction House, and this is how we know that Wumen Auction House's
The power is so huge that we can't imagine it. Over the years, Wumen Auction House has not only conducted auctions in Chiyan, they have branches in hundreds of empires in the Baichao region."
When Qin Shi heard this, he stood up in shock: "Wumen Auction House has branches in thousands of empires? Is it an auction house?"
"Yes, I discovered this during this year. It is exactly like this that the auction items provided by our Qin Sect were sold properly, and this is how we accumulated such a huge wealth." Ling Xiao nodded.
Only then did Qin Shi become serious, his dark eyes rolled, and he thought to himself: "It seems that I still underestimated this Yuan Bo."
A year ago, when Yuan Bo came to him to discuss cooperation, he had doubts about this Yuan Bo. After all, a person whose reputation could rival Hua Lingyou in the Chiyan Empire would definitely be taken seriously. But now it seems
, he still underestimated this Yuan Bo.
"How did you do with the things I told you a year ago?" Qin Shi asked.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao and the others looked at each other in embarrassment and inquired about the matter. In the Qin Sect, Mr. Xun had always been in charge. For this reason, he said helplessly: "Back to the Sect Master, we have conducted several inspections of Wumen Auction House this year.
But the result...!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Xun fell silent.
"You didn't find it, did you?" Seeing that Mr. Xun didn't say anything, Qin Shi sighed. He had expected this result. If Wumen Auction House is just a cancer in Chi Yan, a business giant, then with Qin Zong's current situation
In Chi Yan's power, it is not difficult to find out.
But now that he heard what Ling Xiao said, he realized that Wumen Auction House was not only in Chiyan, but also had great power in the entire Baichao area, so it would be difficult to find out.
After all, there are thousands of small empires like Chi Yan among the hundreds of tides, and among the thousands of empires, Chi Yan is only the last one. This is why this year, General Chi Yan
is the reason for being harassed.
If Chi Yan is as powerful as the Beast King, even if he is unified, if others want to invade, they will have to weigh their own strength.
Of course, Chi Yan is different now. At least Qin Shi will not let foreign enemies invade Chi Yan while Chi Yan is holding the battle. What's more, now that Chi Yan has obtained the military power of the Beast King, then in the entire Baichao region,
, are all extremely terrifying forces.
Qin Shi began to have doubts about Wumen Auction House a year ago, and it is even more so now. A year ago, Yuan Bo told him that the purpose of cooperating with him was to seek asylum from Qin Zong. At that time, he thought it was impossible.
, this is even more true now. With such a large power in Baichao, would they need a small Qin Sect to protect them? This is obviously unrealistic.
But in this case, the question arises. Why did Yuan Bo deliberately cooperate with Qin Zong instead of seeking asylum? Thinking of this, Qin Shi asked Ling Xiao: "What did Yuan Bo say to me, Qin Zong, this year?"
Are you asking for, or do you want to obtain any benefits from Qin Zong?"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao thought for a while and shook his head: "No, at least not now. To be honest, this is not to belittle our Qin Sect, but this year, Qin Sect really did not have any effect on Wumen Auction House.
, even if the auction items are put up for auction, the selling price of Wumen Auction House will remain unchanged, and they will be given to Qin Zong without even taking a commission. On the contrary, Qin Zong has not paid any attention to Wumen Auction House this year.
We don’t need help, we don’t even need shelter.”
"Once, there was an invasion by a foreign enemy, the neighboring Gale Empire. After the Gale Empire invaded, the offensive was very fierce. Because it was a sneak attack, Chi Yan and Qin Zong did not take precautions in time and were caught off guard. The southern region almost missed.
But just when the Gale Empire occupied most of the southern region, it suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Wumen Auction House in the southern region, hoping to plunder the treasures."
"However, on the second day after the Gale Empire attacked Wumen Auction House, the army sent by the Gale Empire to Chi Yan disappeared out of thin air and was directly wiped out. There were more than 10,000 people, including more than 50 from the Heaven Realm.
Fame evaporates overnight." After such a long time, Ling Xiao was sweating when he mentioned this matter, which shows how big a stir it caused in Chi Yan at that time.
"What? Disappeared?" Qin Shi stood up fiercely, with a look of shock on his face: "An army of more than 10,000 people disappeared out of thin air? How is this possible? Was it killed by someone, or what?"
"I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "It just disappeared, and the originally lost southern region also returned. It was as if those more than 10,000 people were wiped out from this road out of thin air.
Later, King Linyu and our Qin Sect both sent people to investigate, but there was no sign of a fight. This matter is still a mystery now."
"hiss……!"
Qin Shi took a breath of air and asked an army of more than 10,000 people to disappear out of thin air? What kind of trick is this? Even now, he dare not say that he can win from it, let alone kill it, and in
Without alerting anyone, silently.
"How could this Wumen Auction House have such terrifying strength?" Qin Shi could no longer calm down. This was completely beyond his imagination.
"Sect Master, I have always paid attention to what you told me before, but this year, Wumen Auction House has no plans that are detrimental to Qin Zong or Chi Yan. Have we misunderstood them?
"Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
But Qin Shi shook his head decisively: "Impossible. Although I still don't know what kind of medicine Yuan Bo sells in his gourd, but I am sure that his cooperation with Qin Zong is not simple.
Cooperation, there must be some unknown misunderstanding."
"How can a person like him help Qin Zong unconditionally in a year? There must be something fishy in this!" Qin said.
Shi concluded.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned and seemed to feel something was wrong: "Yes, he has no way of doing a great job in the auction house. I don't know if I don't check. After checking, I realized that many people in the Baichao area
The economic lifeline of the empire is controlled by Wumen Auction House. Compared with these, how much benefit can a small Chi Yan bring to them? They have no need to cooperate with us."
"I want to say that I am the same." Qin Shi nodded.
A group of people suddenly fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Mr. Xun stood up from the side, patted his forehead with his old hand, and said in surprise: "By the way, Sect Master, there is something I didn't say just now. Not long after you left, Sect Master, Yuan Bo did come to visit my Qin Zong.
You came to me and discussed something with me."
"What's the matter?" Qin Shi suddenly grabbed the thread and asked.
Mr. Xun rolled his eyes and said: "Boss Yuan Bo came to me at that time to borrow a place from our Qin Sect."
"Borrowing a place? What place?"
"Ice and snow plain." Mr. Xun said seriously.
"Ice and Snow Plains?" Qin Shi's thick eyebrows furrowed after hearing about this place. Qin Shi had direct or indirect contact with the three forbidden areas of the Red Flame Empire, the Time Vortex, the Jade Volcano, and the Ice and Snow Plains. Only this Ice and Snow Plains had direct or indirect contact.
, he had no direct contact with it, but he only knew that the Ice and Snow Plains were in the southern region, where the springs were cold all year round and ice and snow accumulated, making it an extremely dangerous place.
"If I remember correctly, the risk factor of the Ice and Snow Plains is much higher than that of the Jade Volcano, and even the great masters of the Heavenly Realm cannot easily enter it. Yuan Bo, what do you want to use this place for?" For this reason, Qin
Shi's puzzled question.
Mr. Xun shook his head: "I don't know about this, and boss Yuan Bo didn't explain it, but is it short-handed? Chi Yan did make a lot of money through Wumen Auction House, and our Qin Sect in the Ice and Snow Plains can't take advantage of it, so I just
I promised it to him."
After Mr. Xun said this, Ling Xiao also suddenly said: "Listening to what Mr. Xun said, Wumen Auction House has indeed had very frequent activities in the southern region this year, and on several occasions, Wumen Auction House has transported goods to the southern region.
There are a large number of spiritual stones, the amount of which is very huge each time, all over one billion, but they can only go in and out. I have also investigated this matter, and they are all transported to the ice and snow plains."
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Shi became serious. If this was the case, then he almost dared to conclude that Wumen Auction House cooperated with Qin Zong, and all the trouble was in the ice and snow plain.
"Billions of spiritual stones can only enter and exit. What on earth is this gateless auction house going to do?" Qin Shi became curious about this.
"I have also asked Boss Yuan Bo about this, but he has always been prevaricated. Moreover, most of Qin Zong's source of income now comes from Wumen Auction House, so I can't ask more questions." Ling Xiaoyao
Shaking his head, he said: "Sect Master, do you want me to investigate this matter?"
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "No, if the old guy doesn't want you to know, then you can dig deep and dig deep, but you won't be able to find out anything, just like his identity."
Speaking of this, Qin Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, and a bit of luster flashed in the corners of his eyes, and said: "That's all, let him go for now. As long as he doesn't do anything that harms Qin Zong and Chi Yan, don't be with Wumen."
If the auction house does the right thing, the cooperation will continue."
"I really want to see what tricks this old ghost Yuan Bo can pull off." Qin Shi thought in his heart, vaguely, he felt that there must be some huge conspiracy in this, and this
The conspiracy is likely to have a huge impact on him in the near future.
It's just that he can't decide yet whether this conspiracy is good or bad.
"Yuan Bo, who are you? Sooner or later, I will investigate clearly and let everything come to light!"
