Chapter 0800: Black Market Chaos
Full martial law.
Not only is there a curfew, but even those who want to go to the street during the day are restricted, and everyone is being investigated.
Xu Bansheng originally thought that since Wen Lanshan's junior brother dared to kill people here, he would definitely be sure to leave the black market, but judging from the reaction of the black market, he obviously remained in the black market.
Unlike other bazaars, there is only one entrance to the black market, and Wen Lanshan's junior brother has not been able to leave the black market, Xu Bansheng can't help but worry.
Although Wen Lanshan's junior brother should not confess Xu Bansheng even if he is arrested, he should understand that his failure to be captured must be a dead end, and it will not help to pull Xu Bansheng's back. But as long as the martial law situation does not change, Xu Bansheng will not be able to completely feel at ease.
There is a law on Earth that has no scientific basis called Murphy's Law, and in this law, it is crucial that "if you are worried about something happening, then it will happen". There is no basis for this, of course, but it is often the case.
Xu Bansheng truly realized the truth that there is no fluke under Murphy's law.
It was not unreasonable for Wen Lanshan's junior brother to let Xu Bansheng leave the black market, he had already sensed that he might not be able to leave the black market smoothly, regardless of whether he left or not, unless he went all the way out, as long as the guards of the black market suspected that he was still in the black market, the black market could not be peaceful.
And he really couldn't leave, and after two days of hiding his head and tail, he was finally found.
To be caught is a dead end. Wen Lanshan's junior brother Kong Qing did not doubt this at all, because when the other party tried to negotiate with him, he chose to attack directly.
It's different from the accident of the previous two days. Today, the black market side is fully prepared, as soon as the battle is fought, Kong Qing will not encounter one or two teams of guards, but directly face the siege of seventy Zhuji led by seven Jin Dan.
Of course, Kong Qing's strength is much stronger than them, but no matter how strong he is, in the face of a large array of more than 70 people who are well-trained and complementary, Kong Qing can only fight bloodily. It is no longer possible to get out of trouble as calmly as we did back then.
The black market is much larger than your average bazaar. But no matter how big the bazaar is, such a situation has spread to every inn in the black market in an instant.
Especially Kong Qing is indeed too strong, before Yuan Ying arrived, more than half of the more than 70 people were killed and injured. He almost escaped.
The order to die was apparently given from above, and Kong Qing must be arrested, whether he lives or dies.
Although he was afraid of Kong Qing's strength, two days ago a Yuan Ying had already paid the price with his life, and the Yuan Ying who fought with Kong Qing today did not dare to have any reservations, nor did he dare to have the slightest contempt, he knew that Kong Qing's attack was extremely strong, and he put on an absolute defensive posture
。
Even with a gun in hand. Kong Qing didn't dare to act rashly at this moment, after all, this kind of gun is more suitable for surprise attacks, once a shot misses. It's hard to win with a gun. And without the bonus of the mana gun, Kong Qing's strength is actually not much higher than that of ordinary Yuan Ying. Give him enough time, and he will definitely be able to kill the other party, but the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.
Kong Qing regretted it very much, he knew that this was the case, and he should have killed directly after he separated from Xu Bansheng that day. Although there must have been a heavy hoarding of troops at the exit that day, it was better than the current situation.
Kong Qing knew. The reason why these guards have made such a big splash is because the Lord of the Black Market, and the only God True Venerable here, has returned to the Black Market, and now it is even more difficult to get out.
The fight between the two sides has already spread to every corner of the black market, and in order to prevent greater chaos, the black market has ordered all immortal cultivators not to leave the inn, and before the two sides fought, those immortal cultivators who were already above the market were also ordered to return to the inn immediately.
The number of guards in the black market is not small, but compared to the number of immortal cultivators, after all, it is still inferior, and now most of the guards have been ordered to rush to the place of the accident, and the manpower is becoming more and more insufficient, and it is difficult to maintain normal order in the black market.
Turmoil is often caused by only a small conflict, once the situation is chaotic, there will inevitably be some people with bad intentions, trying to fish in troubled waters, the result is that there are also conflicts between immortal cultivators, some immortal cultivators have a fluke mentality, trying to snatch other people's goods, and the number of guards is no longer enough to deter them, which leads to the rapid loss of control of the situation in the black market.
Xu Bansheng stayed in the inn honestly, but the noise outside had already alerted him. Unlike other immortal cultivators, Xu Bansheng knew almost immediately that this was Kong Qing who had bumped into the guards again, and what he had been worried about for two days finally happened.
At this moment, Xu Bansheng was a little hesitant, the best choice for him was to leave the black market quickly, he believed that as long as he left the black market, Kong Qing would definitely be aware of it, so that no matter what Kong Qing's situation was, this matter would basically not implicate him.
However, Xu Bansheng also knew that if he left now, not to mention whether those guards would let them go, the Taiyi faction had already helped them hand over the spirit stones for a month, and now there were still a few days left before the January period, which was enough to arouse the suspicion of the black market.
For a while, Xu Bansheng was in a dilemma.
Walked out of the guest room, Xu Bansheng came to Qiangui, the shopkeeper is like a great enemy, all the guys are dispatched, guarding in different areas, and the guests can get the news as soon as they have a little wind and grass. When Xu Bansheng walked out of the guest room, he also saw those guys who were a little nervous, and if they were others, Xu Bansheng might not be able to walk to the front cabinet smoothly, that is, those guys knew that Xu Bansheng had a good relationship with the shopkeeper, so they didn't deliberately stop him.
Seeing the shopkeeper, Xu Bansheng stepped forward and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's still the same person that day, but now the situation is a little out of control, some immortal cultivators tried to take advantage of the fire to rob, and they moved against each other, but the guards were obviously insufficient." Brother Hu, you better hurry back to the house. The situation is too chaotic now, and avoiding suspicion is the most important thing. ”
Xu Bansheng nodded, thinking in his heart. With the current situation, in fact, the more chaotic the scene, the more beneficial it is for him, once it is really chaotic that the Transformation God True Venerable also knows that he can't control the situation, I'm afraid he can only order the evacuation of the crowd and let all unrelated people leave the black market. Xu Bansheng believes that there is more than one import and export in the black market, but it will never open those imports and exports. If the situation is really chaotic to the point where it can't be ended, that Avatar True Venerable can only open all the exits. Let the irrelevant people go first. Once the number of immortal cultivators in the black market is greatly reduced, he may still be able to control the situation.
"Does that person have a helper?" Xu Bansheng asked again.
The shopkeeper didn't know the details
。 Shaking his head, he said, "It's not clear yet, but I guess there must be, otherwise how dare he make trouble in the black market." To say that that person's strength is really strong, Brother Hu. I won't hide it from you, we have already killed a Yuan Infant here, and it can almost be regarded as an instant kill, so you are enough to understand the strength of that person. If it's just him, there is a god true venerable here, and he can't be allowed to run rampant. But in the current situation, I am afraid that the riot outside is instigated by his accomplices. If the situation continues to be chaotic, I am afraid that the Transformation God True Venerable will also be unable to control it. You go back to the room first, if the situation is completely out of control. I'll arrange for you to leave the black market as soon as possible. ”
Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "Thank you shopkeeper." However, now that the man has been found. Why didn't that Avatar True Venerable just take action?"
"The defense is that he still has helpers, and the man's goal that day is very clear, this is obviously not a temporary idea. The Avatar True Venerable wants to find out who is behind that man......"
Xu Bansheng sighed slightly in his heart, and said in his heart that the mastermind behind this scene had left, and Kong Qing was only one person at the moment.
It's just that the situation is like this, I'm afraid that Kong Qing will never be able to leave alive.
Xu Bansheng also knows. Whether Kong Qing lives or not, he should not be implicated. He believed that Kong Qing still had this little awareness, and if he really faced a desperate situation, he was afraid that he would rather judge himself than fall into the hands of the guards. However, if he really allowed those guards to track down all the way, the transaction between himself and Jia Ming would inevitably be exposed, and after all, he had contact with Wen Lanshan, which would not ensure that some clues would eventually be discovered.
If you want to talk about evidence, there must be none, but this is not a police case, a god true venerable, and a god with his back to the door, does he need to talk to a small character like Xu Bansheng about evidence? Even if it is too one, I am afraid he will not take it seriously. This can be seen just from the performance of the chief guard at the gate that day, and the now dead Xiang Jingwei.
Xu Bansheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed with Wen Lanshan, they were worried that people from other big worlds would track down Xu Bansheng's body, but the purpose of doing things was too clear, Jia Ming's death was enough for this black market person to track down the clues to Xu Bansheng. Could it be that Wen Lanshan thinks that Xu Bansheng has no power to fight back against those people in the outside world, and has the ability to compete with the master of the black market?
Out of the idea of self-preservation, Xu Bansheng hopes that the more chaotic the outside, the better, and it is best that the chaos is too much to clean up, and then the god will also be to blame, and the real forces behind this black market, I am afraid that they have no intention of tracking down such a small character as Xu Bansheng.
The situation was completely out of control, and not long after Xu Bansheng returned to the room, he found that there were already fires outside, and the conflict between immortal cultivators had escalated significantly, and now there was chaos outside.
The shopkeeper did not break his promise, and after he felt that the situation was completely out of control, he immediately knocked on Xu Bansheng's door and pointed out a way for Xu Bansheng to leave the black market quickly.
Xu Bansheng didn't dare to ask more, and after thanking the shopkeeper, he went straight to the exit.
The location of this exit is obviously not the place where Xu Bansheng came in, and the shopkeeper clearly told him that the exit must not have been opened yet, but the situation has gotten out of control, and the Transformation God True Venerable is afraid that he will soon open the exit of the Quartet and let the irrelevant people leave first. Xu Bansheng could only hope that the shopkeeper's judgment was correct, and ran all the way towards the exit coordinates.
As I saw along the way, even if this black market chaos is controlled, I am afraid that it will take a long time to rectify. Now Xu Bansheng only hopes that he can leave safely, and Xiang Jingwei is dead, I hope that the clue will be completely cut off when it reaches his level, and as for Wen Lanshan, I will deal with him in the future.
In the distance, I heard two familiar gunshots, which were unknown to others, but Xu Bansheng knew that it was Kong Qing who took out his mana gun again, which showed that Kong Qing was already in a desperate situation.
Xu Bansheng was hesitating, he wanted to find out about the current situation. (To be continued)
