Xiao Chen shook his head and continued to look at the female cultivators around him.
In the ancient martial arts world, I have never seen so many female practitioners.
"..."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and felt that his tone when he said "people of the same mind" was a bit strange.
The two of them walked slowly and slowly, getting closer and closer to the auction house.
There are more and more people around.
Men and women, young and old, practitioners, ordinary people, and the cries of vendors...
Coupled with the ancient buildings, Xiao Chen really felt like he was dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
Is this the world in martial arts novels?
The rivers and lakes are far away, but the rivers and lakes are around you.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
"Beizi, didn't you say that there would be many big shots coming?"
Xiao Chen looked at the magnificent Longteng Club a hundred meters away, no, Longteng Chamber of Commerce, and suddenly said.
"Yes, an auction of this scale will definitely attract many big shots."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Even they are interested in some of the auction items... But if it's something that interests them, it basically has nothing to do with us."
"wrong."
Xiao Chen shook his head. His consciousness was released from time to time. There were many strong people, but the super strong ones did not notice it.
This super strong person is his own term. Anyone who is stronger than him... is considered a super strong person.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Pingbei was confused.
Xiao Chen looked around, and even if he released his spiritual consciousness, he still didn't find anything.
However, it was an old man who was able to control the sky that caught his attention. This old guy was not weak, not as strong as him, but probably about the same.
However, he is still not considered super strong.
The old man in Yukong seemed to have noticed something, so he stopped and glanced downwards, but found nothing, and slowly left again.
"No boss is coming..."
When Xiao Chen saw the old man leaving, he released his consciousness again.
"No boss is coming? Maybe he hasn't come yet, or maybe he will come in the afternoon?"
Wang Pingbei guessed.
"The big boss has to be the last one... It's possible that they are not interested in the auction items in the morning, so they won't come to join in the fun. They will only come when the final auction items appear in the afternoon."
"It's possible, but you shouldn't come without any of them."
Xiao Chen frowned.
"There isn't one, that's a little strange."
Wang Pingbei also frowned, thinking of something, and lowered his voice.
"Brother Chen, could it be related to what happened last night?"
"No, even if Shanhailou is one of the four major forces and has great influence in Sifang City, it will not be like this."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and shook his head.
"Besides, are there any big bosses from Sifang City? They won't come either?"
"When you say that, something is really wrong."
Wang Pingbei looked around and his eyes fell on one place.
"Hey, isn't that Manager Chen? Brother Chen, why don't we ask him?"
"That's fine."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked towards Manager Chen.
Manager Chen was giving instructions when he saw Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei coming over. He waved and sent his men away.
"Young Master Chen..."
Manager Chen smiled and cupped his hands.
"Manager Chen."
Xiao Chen returned the greeting, and after a brief greeting, he asked about his doubts.
"Young Master Chen doesn't know something..."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Chen looked around and lowered his voice.
"Those big guys are all at the City Lord's Mansion right now."
"They're all in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Xiao Chen was surprised and then remained calm.
"But because of what happened at Shanhai Tower last night?"
"Yes and no..."
Manager Chen's voice was even lower.
"It is said that some people suspect that what happened last night was done by the Shengtian Sect... Therefore, City Lord Zhao summoned the big guys, including powerful foreigners, to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning to discuss it."
Listening to Manager Chen's words, Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were stunned.
Shengtian Cult?
Why is it related to the Shengtian Sect again?
"Chen Shaogang just came out of the mountain, so he may not know much about the Shengtian Sect. This Shengtian Sect is notorious..."
Manager Chen looked around, fearing that there were members of the Shengtian Sect nearby, so he introduced them in a low voice.
"When it comes to the Shengtian Sect, City Master Zhao and the others don't dare to be careless. If it is really them, then what happened last night is definitely just the beginning, and Sifang City will be in turmoil."
"I still know something about the Shengtian Sect, but... how did City Master Zhao and the others connect last night's events with the Shengtian Sect?"
Xiao Chen was very curious. The word in blood he wrote was 'the one who killed and set fire, Qingyunzi of Qingyun Tower', not 'Shengtian Sect', so he couldn't figure out why it was related to Shengtian Sect.
"I don't know about this. Maybe the big guys have found something."
Manager Chen shook his head.
"Even the person in charge of our Longteng Chamber of Commerce has gone to the City Lord's Mansion now."
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, why did I leave all the bloody words in vain?
This shit basin, didn't you put Qing Yunzi's head on it?
"Then what, Manager Chen, what happened the night before yesterday was also done by the Shengtian Sect, right?"
Wang Pingbei was also confused. He thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"It's about the murder of the young master of the Tianqing sect."
"There's no explanation for that, but I think it has nothing to do with the Shengtian Sect."
Manager Chen shook his head.
"How could the Holy Sky Religion save an ordinary person? Unless that girl was so beautiful and fragrant, and the people from the Holy Sky Religion also took a fancy to her and took her away."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked weird, "Good guy, the reputation of Shengtian Sect is bad enough. To save someone, you have to do it for their beauty?"
"That's right, Manager Chen, when you put it like that, I also think it was the Shengtian Sect that did it."
Wang Pingbei was filled with indignation.
"Otherwise, why hasn't the girl been found? They have done a lot of murders and arson... They must have done this."
"???"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei. Did the Shengtian Sect do it? Don't you have any idea?
"Keep your voice down...Who knows if there are any members of the Shengtian Sect nearby."
Manager Chen's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly.
"Congregants of the Shengtian Sect are everywhere."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Manager Chen, what are the big guys planning to do next?"
"How can I know this?"
Manager Chen shook his head.
"They should still be discussing, and there will be a countermeasure... In the afternoon, they should come to the auction, firstly to participate in the auction, and secondly to prevent the Shengtian Sect from causing trouble!"
"Why do strong foreigners want to get involved?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
Logically speaking, the strong men from Sifang City should participate in this matter. After all, it happened in Sifang City and the Shengtian Sect appeared, which also harmed the interests of Sifang City.
"Mr. Chen, you don't know something. The Shengtian Sect is almost the enemy of the entire Tianwaitian. As long as the Shengtian Sect is involved, no one can stay out of it."
Manager Chen said seriously.
"Once the Shengtian Sect appears, they will definitely attack in groups."
"All right."
Xiao Chen nodded. It seemed that the Shengtian Sect had a worse reputation than he imagined.
The enemy of the entire universe?
At this moment, he was a little excited.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
However, it was a momentary thought that was quickly suppressed.
A gentleman has something to do and something not to do.
As for the things that the Shengtian Sect has done, let alone friends, they cannot even be allies.
If he dares to cooperate with the Shengtian Sect, the old fortune teller can skin him without anyone else.
"Mr. Chen, I won't say any more. The person in charge is not here, so I have to do a lot of things myself..."
Manager Chen saw his subordinates walking towards him and said.
"Do you need me to send someone to take you in?"
"No, you go about your business, let's take a stroll and we'll go in later."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, then I'll get to work first."
Manager Chen cupped his hands and left in a hurry with his men.
"Great, great..."
As soon as Manager Chen left, Wang Pingbei couldn't hide his excitement and shouted repeatedly.
"What's so good?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Shengtian Cult."
Wang Pingbei lowered his voice.
"Brother Chen, now that the Shengtian Sect has come out to take the blame, it has nothing to do with us!"
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, it turned out that this guy had this idea.
"Even if there is no Shengtian Sect, it has nothing to do with us. It was Qingyunzi who did it."
"But they didn't believe it, but as soon as Shengtian Sect came out, they believed it."
Wang Pingbei smiled.
"Next, they will definitely keep an eye on the Shengtian Sect..."
"Beizi, I think you may have misunderstood... Is the Shengtian Sect coming? Not here, right? So, who are they targeting? They mistakenly thought it was the Shengtian Sect, and they will only be more prepared and serious in the future.
Until the people from the Shengtian Sect are caught."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"ah?"
The smile on Wang Pingbei's face froze. After thinking about it again, it seemed that this was really what happened.
"Then...what should we do now?"
"I don't know what to do."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Don't worry about them for now. Let's go to the auction. It's useless to think too much. The boat will go straight to the bridge."
"Will they seal off Sifang City and not let anyone leave?"
Wang Pingbei was a little worried.
"Before, they had no reason. Now that there is the 'Shengtian Sect', they have a reason. No one can object or dare to object. Anyone who opposes will probably be labeled as a 'member of the Shengtian Sect'.
Everyone gets it and kills it."
"Even if it is blocked, it is only temporary and cannot be blocked forever."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Do the things right now first, and then think about other things."
"Um."
Wang Pingbei suppressed his worry.
"Brother Chen, let's go in."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked north to the auction with Wang Ping.
He couldn't figure out how this matter could be related to the 'Shengtian Sect'.
It means he doesn't know Zhao Cangqiong, otherwise he would have to ask.
"Two friends, are you going to the auction?"
Suddenly, a female cultivator holding a sword came over and asked with a smile.
"right."
Xiao Chen took a look, and he looked like he was in his forties... However, the practitioners all looked young, and their actual age might be in their fifties or sixties.
"Haha, I also want to participate in the auction, why not come together?"
The female cultivator said again.
"I don't like being with strangers."
Xiao Chen shook his head and refused.
"Haha, if we get to know each other, wouldn't we be strangers? We can make friends."
The female cultivator said, taking a step forward.
