The war in the hinterland of the Central Region has a tendency to intensify, but this Dongping County is still as calm as before, because there is really nothing to fight about here.

However, in the secret room of the head of the mountain hall that was renamed Dongping Mountain after being settled by the Dongping Sword Sect, an old man and a young man were arguing about something.

"Grandpa, what I said is true!" the young man with a proud face said eagerly, "The news came from within them, this spirit stone mine has really mined high-grade spirit stones! And now that many of the Seven Killing Palace's foreign properties have been taken away, even if we make a move, what is there to fear!"

The old man, who looked to be in his fifties, stroked his long beard and did not speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Grandpa," exclaimed the young man impatiently after a moment's wait, "and have you forgotten how my father died?"

The young man's face then turned a little hideous, and he said hatefully: "Although there is no evidence, the only people who could know that my father and mother had obtained the treasure and wanted to return to the sect were the three second-rate sects and the branch hall of the Seven Killing Palace, and with the cultivation of the fourth layer of my father's Ning Yuan Realm, the only one who could kill them was the branch master of the Seven Killing Hall who was also the fourth layer of Ning Yuan at that time!"

The old man was also a little moved when he heard this, how could he not know about the fact that he was the head of the Dongping Sword Sect? But he had no evidence, even if there was evidence, how could he, a first-class sect at the bottom, dare to provoke such a behemoth as the Seven Killing Palace? Hundreds of true disciples and elders of the Seven Killing Hall could wipe out their Dongping Sword Sect all over the world, so for the sake of the inheritance passed down from his ancestors, for his grandson, and for the sake of the tens of thousands of disciples of the entire sect, he could only pretend not to know.

If Jiang Yuhe knew about it at this time, he would be able to understand why he was sent here to serve as the branch hall master in the first place.

After a long silence, the old man suddenly sighed and said slowly: "At this time, we need to think about it in the long run. ”

"Grandpa!"

The old man continued: "Ming'er, it's not that I don't want to avenge your father and mother, but what happens after the revenge? Although our Dongping Sword Sect has joined the alliance, it is not closely related to those sects on the front front, if we attack the spirit stone mine of the Seven Killing Palace, it is very likely that the opponent's experts will come to retaliate, and even if the alliance is willing to send someone to help us protect us, we will have to persist until that time." ”

The old man said so much in one breath and took a slight breath before continuing: "So before I start, I will contact the alliance first to see if I can send a master to sit in the town, it doesn't need to be too strong, as long as it is those people in the sect who are the core of the alliance, but even if we make a move at that time, the Seven Killing Hall will definitely be afraid of it." ”

Looking at the young man who was still a little unwilling, the old man said again: "We are not doing nothing during this time, you can go and test the confidence of the Seven Killing Palace, I got the news that they sent a core disciple to garrison here last month." ”

"All right!" the young man reluctantly agreed, and then got up and left.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head again and sighed lightly.

Completely immersed in cultivation, he couldn't feel the passage of time at all, and it was another month, Lu Xiaoman finally broke through to the fourth layer of Ning Yuan with the supply of a large number of high-grade spirit stones, and Xiaoxiao also made significant progress, although it did not break through, but it was not far away.

However, because of Lu Xiaoman's breakthrough, the spirit stones consumed this time were much more than last time, which made Li Shenzhou even more worried.

It was useless to think about it, and Li Shenzhou, who instantly cleaned up his mood, took out the invitation with a smile: "The time for you to come out of the customs is just right, and I will take you to an auction tomorrow." ”

Lu Xiaoman knew what the auction meant, so he could think of what the auction was, Xiaoxiao really didn't know at all, and Li Shenzhou had to explain it to the two of them.

And the two who understood that they came over suddenly became happy, especially Xiaoxiao, who couldn't wait to participate in it.

Li Shenzhou couldn't help but smile at this, Xiaoxiao, the little fox, seemed to have great enthusiasm for all kinds of treasures, just like when she was in the palace of the secret space, she was the most active in searching for treasures.

Early the next morning, the three of them who had washed up and had breakfast set off from the branch hall to the Hanhai Auction House, which was located on the busiest street in the center of Dongping City.

It can be seen that Hanhai Auction House really has a very high strength and status in Dongping County, the whole wide street is surrounded by dozens of large and small shops on one side, and there is only one auction house on the other side, and it is a five-storey amphitheater-type building, covering a huge area.

When Li Shenzhou and the three of them arrived, there was still an hour before the auction house, but there were already many people on the street who participated in the auction in an orderly queue.

However, the invitations he got as Jiang Yuhe must be different from these ordinary people.

Sure enough, after showing the invitation to the waiter at the door, the man glanced at Lu Xiaoman's clothes, and his face immediately became more respectful. Then, after returning the invitation, he led them to another open gate not far away.

But just when the three of them were about to step into it, a young man with a dark temperament and an arrogant face was walking out of it, and when he saw Lu Xiaoman and the three of them, his eyes paused on Lu Xiaoman's body for a moment, and then fell on Xiaoxiao's body, with a hint of greed and lust in his eyes, but he quickly moved away. Then he snorted coldly and passed by Li Shenzhou and the three of them, and walked out.

In this regard, Li Shenzhou and Lu Xiaoman only frowned, while Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who is this person?"

The waiter seemed to be afraid that Xiaoxiao would suffer a loss, so he hesitated and whispered: "This person is Song Ming, the young head of the Dongping Sword Sect, and it is better not to offend him." ”

Xiaoxiao said lightly: "It's just a young head of a first-class sect, what's the big deal!"

The waiter shook his head, stopped speaking, and continued to lead a few people along the passage to the inside, after coming to the auction house, a beautiful maid took over the work of the previous waiter and continued to lead the three of them upstairs and introduced: "A few are the distinguished guests of the Seven Killing Palace, and our auction house often prepares a box for your sect on the top floor. ”

Li Shenzhou nodded when he heard the words and didn't ask more, although he had never been to the auction house in his previous life or in this life, he also understood this approach, although Dongping County was only a branch of the Seven Killing Palace, but with the prestige of the Seven Killing Palace, it was definitely the strongest force in the entire county, and even the Dongping Sword Sect did not dare to provoke it in the past, so it was normal for this kind of auction to prepare a box for this kind of business.
