"Master, what do you think about this matter?"

After recording all the words that the auctioneer had said before his death and studying them carefully, Cao Chuan asked the Flame Venerable, "Do you think we can find the person we are looking for in the auctioneer's house?" ”

Although the Flame Venerable also hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible, he still shook his head and said: "Since that guy has been able to hide in the shadows without being discovered, and has not been able to find the slightest flaw until now, this is enough to prove that that guy is an extremely cautious person, this kind of person will strive for perfection in everything he does, so even if we can find the secret treasure that the auctioneer left at home, I am afraid we still can't find the specific location of that guy." ”

"In that case, we can only take one step at a time."

What his teammate Flame Venerable said, Cao Chuan was convinced.

So after a little preparation, Cao Chuan took advantage of the nightfall, disguised himself and left the residence alone, walking towards the auctioneer's residence.

According to what the auctioneer said before he died, Cao Chuan, who would hide in the crowd, quickly found the house that the auctioneer had purchased in Donghai City.

The house looked like a small yard just big enough for two or three people to live in, but the small yard looked dusty from the outside, presumably because the auctioneer hadn't been back here for a long time and hadn't asked anyone to clean it.

It's understandable to think that the auctioneer had been refined into a living puppet ten years ago, and a living puppet didn't go home.

So Cao Chuan retracted his thoughts, and while the crowd passed by the door of the auctioneer's residence, he swept over the courtyard wall in a flash and jumped directly into the courtyard.

Cao Chuan, who had just jumped into the courtyard and was thinking about looking around to see if he could find any clues, saw a stone slab that had been placed in the open space in the courtyard.

The slab is about the size of the mouth of a well.

But what really caught Cao Chuan's attention immediately was the strange lines carved on the slate, as well as the equally weird picture composed of these lines.

Thinking of the auctioneer's tirade before his death, Cao Chuan speculated that the slate in front of him was likely the mysterious treasure that the auctioneer had secretly brought back to his home ten years ago.

So Cao Chuan immediately stepped forward cautiously, and at the same time released his divine soul power to envelop the stone slab and probe the secrets that might exist in it.

However, at the moment when Cao Chuan's divine soul power just touched the stone slab, the entire stone slab immediately shattered, and instantly turned into a pile of powder.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the powder all over the ground, Cao Chuan felt a little strange.

In desperation, I had to leave here first and go to those rooms in the courtyard to investigate.

Soon.

Cao Chuan walked out of the room with a helpless face, and then returned to the position of the stone slab that had turned into powder, and squatted down to look at the white powder floating in the wind all over the ground.

"I didn't expect to return in vain after a long day of exploration······"

While muttering, Cao Chuan reached out and stained some powder on his hand and began to rub it.

Suddenly.

Cao Chuan, who seemed to sense something, immediately put his fingers stained with white powder on his clothes and wiped them, then instantly got up and walked away from the pile of powder in front of him, and at the same time opened his mouth and said in a deep voice towards the empty front: "Sure enough, you guy is secretly playing tricks!" If you have the ability, come out and fight me alone! ”

"Hehehehe······"

A burst of laughter came from the powder all over the floor.

Subsequently, Cao Chuan saw with his own eyes that the stone slabs that had been shattered into powdered ground actually began to slowly return to their original appearance.

Meanwhile.

A voice came from the stone slab that had really begun to return to its original appearance: "Do you really think I'm a fool?" If I can have fun with you guys in the dark, why should I risk being caught and stand in the light? ”

"But I can tell you something that's important to you."

"What's the matter?" Cao Chuan's face gradually turned cold.

Because he can hear the other person's voice, but he can't always capture the specific location of the other person.

The voice from the slate continued, "Actually, even if you can really find and kill me, it will be useless, because this is your life!" ”

"My life?"

"That's right!"

A smiling voice continued to come from the stone slab, and said, "I'm sure you must remember that you once met a guy called the Old Man of the Heavenly Machine in the Spirit Realm, right?" And you must remember that he mentioned the so-called Mandate of Heaven to you. ”

Hearing this, Cao Chuan fell silent.

The reason why he didn't immediately open his mouth to refute it was because what the other party said was correct.

It's just that during this period of time, he has not had time to think about what the destiny is, and he has never thought about what his destiny is.

Now that it was suddenly mentioned, Cao Chuan was naturally curious, so he wanted to know what the other party was mentioning this for.

So he immediately asked, "What are you trying to do with this?" If you want to turn me into a living puppet, then I can only say that you have found the wrong person! ”

"No, no, no, no! I don't want to make you a puppet. ”

When the voice in the stone slab heard this, he immediately retorted: "In fact, a person like you who has the mandate of heaven, and it can be said that he has been controlled by the mandate of heaven all his life to do something, the best destination is actually death!" ”

"Of course, it would be great if you could plunder your destiny before you die, hahahaha······"

The words fell, and the stone slabs that had just been restored to their original state were shattered all over the ground.

Only this time the slate did not break into powder, but a note fell from the piece of rubble.

Cao Chuan didn't have time to think about the words just now, so he immediately stepped forward and took the note in his hand and unfolded it.

Unfold the note, and you can see that only one or two sentences are written on it.

"If you want to know what the destiny is, just wait until tomorrow at noon to bring your confidantes to the dock of Donghai City to find me, and you won't wait."

"This guy is real and bold! How dare you take the initiative to invite me to meet him? ”

After Cao Chuan used his spiritual power to burn the note to ashes, he turned his head and asked the Flame Venerable in the Sea of Knowledge, "Master, what have you discovered?" ”

Unexpectedly, the Flame Venerable shook his head, and then said to Cao Chuan in an extremely serious tone: "You must not take this matter lightly! ”

"The Mandate of Heaven is a very complicated thing, even the Emperor Realm cultivator can't tell what it is."

"And this guy mentioned the Mandate of Heaven······ Anyway, you have to be careful tomorrow, that guy must be trying to get something out of you. ”
