Chapter Seventy-Six: Enchantments and Thieves
In a room on the top floor of the auction house, an old man was sitting at this time, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.
Just when the middle-aged man pinched the jade plaque in his hand, and then suddenly burst out from under the carpet in the hall, the old man's divine sense immediately sensed it, and his eyes opened.
Then with a wave of his hand, the mana in his body poured out, and to put it mildly, he laid a spiritual power shield, firmly covering the entire hall.
In this way, not only did they shield the divine sense of the monks from the outside world, but they could not see what was going on inside.
What's more important is to completely block the powerful aura fluctuations caused by the middle-aged man.
Otherwise, with such a sky-high light, once it really penetrates, I am afraid that half of the Purple Gold City can be seen.
Seeing that the hall had been tightly covered, the old man closed his eyes again and rested.
At this time, in the hall, the sudden change made all the Tsukiji nuns who were admiring the auction items begin to panic, not knowing what happened.
"It's not good, it's a formation!"
Only Song Wanzhen and a few other female cultivators in the late stage of Zhuji could still keep calm and look around to find the reason.
But when he saw the traces and sounds reflected on the ground, he knew that he had fallen into the formation.
Immediately after that, a few people were about to try to see if they could open it, but under the white light that seemed to be like a substance, they seemed to be restrained, and they couldn't move at all.
At this moment, the roar of the formation seemed to have reached its peak, and the dazzling light made everyone's eyes tingle even more, and they had to close their eyes.
Then I saw a flash of white light, causing a powerful aura tide to form in the hall, and then it was completely covered by white light.
After a few breaths, as the white light gradually faded, the roar of the formation also stopped completely.
The hall was once again in its original state, except for a little light flowing on the ground.
But the middle-aged man and the seven female cultivators who had just stood in the center of the hall, completely wrapped in the power of the formation, had disappeared without a trace at this time, and had completely disappeared into the hall.
At the same time, the old man who was sitting quietly in the room on the top of the building, after sensing that the formation had stopped, then opened the spiritual power barrier that shielded the hall.
Then the old man seemed to be a little bored and raised his hand again, played a spell, laid a shield in the room, closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
"Did it work?"
In a room in the podium next door, the famous young master of Cangshen Mountain, Meng Tu, was anxiously asking at this time.
There were also Yuan Li and a few other people sitting next to him, and after hearing Meng Tu's words, they all looked at a man in unison.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Montu and Yuanli hid here, and opened a ban in the room to prevent being seen.
But whether the strategy can really succeed, the layout of the auction venue occupies at least half of it, and Meng Tu and others are not in a hurry.
"The enchantment laid by that senior has disappeared, and there is no one in the hall at this time, it should have been successful!" The man, who had the same cultivation as the auctioneer, looked in the direction of the hall with his divine sense, and then nodded lightly.
"It's good if it's successful, let's go, let's go over and destroy the traces as soon as possible, and then rush to the manor!" So saying, Montu got up and hurried over with the people.
And while Montu and the others were still waiting, a person wearing a female cultivator's clothes quietly appeared near the hall, but judging by his movements, it was obvious that he was a male cultivator.
The visitor gently pushed open the hall door and glanced inside, a strange smile appeared on his face. Then he walked quickly through the passage and entered the inner room.
When I opened the door, I saw that the shelves were full of pill magic weapons and refining materials, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Then he quickly changed his clothes, and sure enough, it was a male cultivator. He immediately stepped forward and began to put all kinds of things into the storage bag.
When he saw that the things on the shelves were almost gone, he hurriedly exited the room. After seeing that there was still no one in the passage, he once again showed an unclear expression on his face and quickly left.
Not long after the man left, Montu and the others hurried into the building and came to the hall.
When he saw with his own eyes that this place was empty, only a trace of the fierce fluctuation of spiritual energy, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.
After thinking about it, Meng Tu immediately turned to the late-stage foundation building monk and said, "Now that we have to rush to the manor, we can only trouble Master Lan to deal with the dismantling of the teleportation array!" ”
The man surnamed Lan was specially invited to set up the teleportation array. After the teleportation is completed, it is also a matter of dismantling, and after hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Master Mengtu can go by himself, and leave it to me here." ”
However, when Montu Yuanli entered the hall to check, the person who followed Yuanli did not enter the hall, but walked straight to the room inside.
Originally, there was to be someone to guard this place, but because of today's special situation, the guards were temporarily dismissed.
Now that the matter is over, he is ready to check it out, and then hand it over to the guards.
Then the man opened the door of the room he had just visited, and looked at the empty shelves inside, and the man scratched his head, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Oh no, the goods were stolen!" Then the man's face changed dramatically, and he immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the hall.
Meng Tu quickly arranged the aftermath of the dismantling of the teleportation array, and immediately walked out of the hall with Yuan Li and the others.
"Childe, it's not good, the goods are lost!" The man who had just run over saw that Yuan Li was leaving, and hurriedly said to Yuan Li.
"Lost! What's missing? Yuan Li looked at his subordinates.
"All the goods in the small warehouse are gone! It should have been unguarded just now, and someone touched in and stole it! The man said.
Montu didn't care about the loss of any goods at this time, and was about to turn around and want to leave, when he heard the man's words, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he stopped at once.
"What! You said someone just came in? Montu asked the man with an ugly expression.
"It should be, only a while ago, all the guards here have been evacuated." The man said firmly.
"Not good! Fast! Can you know who came in? Hurry up and catch him? Meng Tu's face turned red, and he said anxiously to Yuan Li.
Yuan Li immediately came to his senses, and suddenly felt dizzy, and one head seemed to be about to rise into two heads.
Just when Yuan Li felt as if all his hard work had been drained away, a few people hurriedly came over, and they were the guards who had protected this place before.
One of the ringleaders, after hearing that the goods were stolen, immediately stepped forward and said to Yuan Li: "Don't worry, Childe, you can find the stolen goods below!" ”
"Say, tell me, how do you find it?" Yuan Li and Meng Turu are on the verge of despair, and suddenly meet a savior. Two pairs of eyes immediately fixed on the leader of the guards.
"I had smeared a powder on the packaging of several shipments before."
As he spoke, the leader of the guard bowed his head and took out a small bird with emerald feathers from a spirit beast bag hanging from his waist, and then said, "This bird can find a lost cargo with the taste of powder." ”
"Good, good! In this way, Brother Yuanli, now I will go to the manor first, you take them to find that person quickly, and then come to the manor. When Montu heard this, he immediately turned to surprise and said.
And handed over the few guards he brought with him to Yuan Li, and made sure to catch the thief who was likely to know their secrets.
"It's okay, let's go our separate ways and finally meet at the manor!" Yuan Li also knew that the manor side was equally important, and immediately nodded in agreement.
A group of people hurried out and split into two ways. Monttudon boarded the carriage that had already been prepared and ran towards the manor outside the city.
Yuan Li took the others and followed the little bird and began to track it.
