Chapter 34: Murder and Treasure
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following auction item is a strange fruit, seven-leaf Luosang fruit, seven-leaf Luosang tree is born in the dark and dark place underground, five hundred years into a tree, and another thousand years of fruit, it can be said that it can be met but not sought, the starting price is three thousand spirit crystals!"
Xiang Hong, who was already drowsy, suddenly shook his head when he heard the words of the host on the stage and woke up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He couldn't remember how many things had been auctioned before, and the price of those ten thousand spirit crystals at every turn had already made him a little numb.
Xiang Hong came to Xiao Ni's side and whispered: "The things in this auction cost tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, is the money we prepared enough?" ā
Xiao Ni nodded and said: "Although the seven-leaf Luosang fruit is rare, it is only a spirit fruit after all, and there is a possibility of failure when used for alchemy, unlike those magic weapons before, I estimate that five thousand spirit crystals are enough, you can report three thousand five first." ā
Xiang Hong nodded and slowly raised the cyan hand in his hand.
"Six thousand spirit crystals!" Suddenly, a muffled voice came from the crowd ahead.
Xiang Hong was slightly stunned, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and the expression on his face was quite embarrassed.
"Isn't it, this guy has a bad brain?" Xiao Ni was suddenly on the spot, how can anything be done so badly recently, and someone will intervene sideways when shooting something!
And Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed, compared to the price of six thousand spirit crystals, the line of information sent by XL8000 to his retina surprised him even more.
The results of the voiceprint comparison were consistent with Elder Li of the Seven Star Sect.
Most of the people sitting in the front row of the venue had black veils covering their real faces, and this person's voice was completely different from Elder Li's. But the sound can be changed, but the voiceprint can't, and the XL8000 shouldn't go wrong.
At this time, there was another person in green clothes in the field, with a black veil covering his face, and quoted the price of seven thousand spirit crystals, Xiao Ni covered his face with a helpless look and said, "Crazy, these people are crazy......"
Xiang Hong slowly lowered his half-raised hand, his face regained his composure, and the price in the field competed for a few back and forth, and finally the man in Tsing Yi took this seven-leaf Luosang fruit with nine thousand spirit crystals.
The people in Tsing Yi hurriedly left the venue after getting the spirit fruit, and Xiang Hong noticed that Elder Li also left the table a moment later.
"You wait here, I'll go out for a while." Xiang Hong whispered an explanation to Xiao Ni, who was lost in his soul, and also withdrew from the auction house.
ā¦ā¦
In a dimly lit narrow alley, suddenly a few faint strange lights flashed, and then a faint scream sounded, and the sound stopped abruptly, like a duck that wanted to chirp, and suddenly someone choked its throat.
After a while, a strong smell of blood began to permeate this narrow alley, and in the darkness, Elder Li, who had taken off his veil, could be seen walking slowly out, with a hint of smugness on his face, and a few drops of bright red blood stains on the corners of his robe.
Xiang Hong was draped in ground effect camouflage, and hid motionless in the corner of the wall in the extreme distance, quietly watching Elder Li kill the man in Tsing Yi and take down his storage bag.
Elder Li did not rush to leave after killing people and seizing the treasure, but walked slowly in the direction of Xiang Hong.
"Xiang Hong, come out."
Elder Li's voice was low and steady, with a faint chill.
Xiang Hong's heart sank slightly, when did Elder Li find out? He hesitated, but still stretched out his hand and pulled off the camouflage, exposing his figure in front of Elder Li.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the burial field at this moment, why did you come to Tiannan City? I was really surprised to see you at the auction just now. Elder Li approached Xiang Hong as he spoke, a killing intent was like an undercurrent, surging silently in the dim streets, Xiang Hong felt a little stiff in his body, feeling like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Xiang Hong licked his lips and tried his best to keep his voice calm: "The Qiye Luosang Fruit over there in the burial field is fake news, the Yin Sha Sect used this fake news to attract monks into their trap, and after I found out, I left the burial field and came to Tiannan City to try my luck......
"It seems that my original estimate was correct...... Elder Li walked to Xiang Hong and stood seven steps away, looked at him and said, "Originally, I didn't have much hope for you to go to the burial place, but I was quite surprised that you were able to find Tiannan City by yourself." ā
Xiang Hong couldn't help but feel angry in his heart when he heard this, it was obvious that Elder Li let himself go to the burial place, but he was just using himself as a stone to explore the path.
"What about the girl doll with you, why didn't she come?" Elder Li raised his eyes and looked around, his expression was quite relaxed, as if he was chatting with Xiang Hong.
Xiang Hong reluctantly smiled and said, "I said that I wanted to meet Elder Li, an elder in the sect, and I had already asked her to leave first." ā
Xiang Hong's words faintly hinted at Elder Li, if you kill me now, someone will also know the truth of this matter.
"So what, won't I dare kill you?" A smile flashed on Elder Li's face, he looked at Xiang Hong and said, "With you, you are not worthy of threatening me!" ā
Elder Li suddenly stretched out his hand towards Xiang Hong, and Xiang Hong suddenly felt that a huge and incomparable force entangled himself in it, tightly wrapped himself, and his internal organs seemed to be completely crushed in the blink of an eye!
"Oops......" Xiang Hong tried his best to maintain his composure, grinning and said, "I'm here to congratulate you on getting the spirit fruit, don't do ......"
"You kid is very clever, and you have some means, you can even recognize me in the auction house, and you have followed me here, I do appreciate you a little." Elder Li quietly withdrew his hand, Xiang Hong only felt that the air around him was loosened, and he regained his freedom, he gasped for breath, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Forget about this matter, I will guarantee your safety in the sect." Elder Li's figure gradually disappeared into the dim streets like an illusion, and the voice came from far away, and it was a little difficult to hear.
"Remember that you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
ā¦ā¦
When Xiang Hong returned to the auction house, the auction had already ended. Xiao Ni saw that his face was gloomy, and thought that he was depressed and failed to photograph the seven-leaf Luosang fruit, so he had to say without words: "Where have you been?" The finale in the back are all amazing treasures, and you haven't even seen them. ā
Where would Xiang Hong still have the heart to care about those treasures, he glanced at Xiao Ni and said, "The Seven Leaf Luosang Fruit is no longer needed, this matter is over." ā
Xiao Ni couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What happened?" ā
"The less you know, the better, I don't want to get you involved." Xiang Hong thought for a while, looked at Xiao Ni and said, "Remember that you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later." ā
Xiang Hong and Xiao Ni walked out of the black market, the bright moon hung high, and the night breeze brought a hint of coolness, and it was already midnight at this moment.
In any case, Elder Li's commission had finally been dealt with, and his safety in the Seven Star Sect had been guaranteed. Next, as long as Xiang Hong purchased a batch of spiritual materials for refining Yun Yuan Dan, he could return to the Seven Star Sect Cave Mansion and retreat to impact the Ninth Order Great Perfection of Condensation.
Xiang Hong looked at Xiao Ni and asked, "I'm going to return to the Seven Star Sect next, what are your plans next?" ā
Xiao Ni replied very simply: "I'll go to the headquarters of the business alliance in the city and ask them to arrange a new place for me." ā
Xiang Hong chuckled lightly and said, "Yuxiu Villa was yellowed by you, and the Burial Inn was destroyed by you, will they arrange another place for you?" ā
"You're embarrassed to say that you caused both of these things!" Xiao Ni glared at Xiang Hong fiercely, but after all, her life was saved by Xiang Hong, and it was hard to say anything, "You are simply my disaster star, don't let me meet you again in the future!" ā
Xiang Hong nodded, smiled and said, "Then let's say goodbye, I will definitely take a detour when I meet you in the future." ā
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Ni suddenly opened her mouth to stop Xiang Hong, Xiang Hong was stunned, turned his head to look at Xiao Ni, and didn't know what else she had to do.
Xiao Ni smiled and said: "I'm penniless now, food and housing are a problem, you lend me some money, and I'll pay it back to you." ā
Xiang Hong sighed, reached out and took out a storage bag from his arms, which contained a thousand spirit crystals. He threw the storage bag to Xiao Ni in the air, then waved his hand and turned to leave.
"I've worked hard for you these past few days, these are condolences and don't need to be repaid."
