In particular, Xia Zhili wanted to compete for the position of executive deputy director. At that time, the number of subordinates directly determined his right to speak. If Wang Chake could be taken in, then Song Huawu would be promoted. Whether it was Group B or Group C, it would be decided by Xia Zhili and Xiao Chen. At that time, it would be much more convenient. It would not be too difficult for Xiao Chen to recover his identity.
Xia Xibin saw that Xiao Chen was lost in thought, so he left with Song Huawu to prepare.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen took Xia Xibin, Song Huawu, and Wang Chake to a business car. Wang Chake did not get a positive answer from Xiao Chen. When he got on the car, he was a little nervous. He sat in the car, very reserved and restless. He did not know if this action was his journey of death, but he did not dare to ask in detail.
Xia Xibin drove the car and headed for the location of the Outer Martial Arts Circle Auction. The location of the Outer Martial Arts Circle Auction was actually not very far from Tianfang Province. It was at the junction of Tianfang Province and Dinan Province. There was a huge mountain range here that stretched endlessly. It belonged to the primeval forest within the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom. It had not been developed and had also become the residence of these martial artists.
This mountain range was called Martial Mountain in the martial arts world. It was the location of many activities in the Wulin World. When Xiao Chen and the others came here, they could not go up the mountain. There was only a paid parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
This was not a tourist attraction. Usually, no ordinary people came here. It was not known if there was a procedure for this parking lot. Anyway, there was a big sign saying — Wulin Guild Paid Parking Lot.
With this huge name, it was estimated that no vehicle would dare to come here without paying the fee. When Xia Xibin entered the parking lot, he was really shocked by the parking fee.
"Ten thousand a day. Take the card and pay when you go out!" The toll collector at the entrance of the parking lot gave Xia Xibin a time card.
"…" Xia Xibin put it in the car and felt a little heartache. Ten thousand a day was really a sky-high price.
However, Xiao Chen had been cheated in the Hakunamata Desert before. Now he was used to it. He shook his head and signaled Xia Xibin not to argue and just find a place.
Xia Xibin could only listen to Xiao Chen. Originally, he wanted to show his proof. There was also the power of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau in the External Martial Arts Guild. Maybe they could let him park for free!
However, he was just thinking about it. Xiao Chen asked him to hide his identity. If he was exposed because of this parking fee, it would not be worth it.
Behind them, some cars also came in. Similarly, they all silently took their time cards. No one said much to the toll collector. After parking their cars, they got off and walked up the mountain.
They didn't greet each other and were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to do something.
However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that the people he saw seemed to be the same as him. They were very careful and low-key, as if they were afraid of being recognized. Some of them even wore big sunglasses, scarves, and caps, looking like private detectives.
It seemed that not only Xiao Chen was afraid of being robbed after taking photos, but other people in the External Martial Arts Circle were also afraid of this situation. Looking around, the cars these people drove did not have any characteristics of sects. Even the license plates were taken off, so that people could not judge the location of the car and the sect of the people in the car.
Also, like Xiao Chen, the car had the license plate of Tianfang Province or Dinan Province. It should be a car rented here after arriving nearby!
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the license plate of the car was Tianfang Province. He was afraid that others would recognize the number of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, so he deliberately asked Xia Xibin to change to an ordinary license plate, which was an empty number. Even if they investigated, they could not find out the owner of the car.
"Everyone, put on your equipment!" Xiao Chen told Xia Xibin and others. Before, he was afraid that people would pay attention to him if he was too well-armed, but now it seemed that people would pay attention to them if they were not armed at all!
After listening to Xiao Chen's words, everyone put on their equipment. In the blink of an eye, the four of them became almost the same as others. After getting out of the car, Xiao Chen led the way in front. In fact, he was following the people in front of him. It was his first time here, so he did not know the route at all.
Fortunately, his perception was relatively strong. The people in front were far away, so Xiao Chen could also keep up.
"Brother Xiao, why do I feel that these people are thieves? Why are they sneaking around in a hurry? "Xia Xibin pointed to the people in front of him who were walking fast.
"Who knows? It's also my first time here. It seems that it is not very peaceful here!" Xiao Chen said.
However, just as the two of them finished speaking, a few people rushed over from behind. These people were walking very fast, and they did not hide their strength at all. However, Xiao Chen could feel that these people were Martial Masters, and there were no Martial Generals. How could they be so arrogant?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The person in front shouted as he ran. Some of the cultivators in front of him immediately moved to the sides, letting this group of people pass.
What surprised Xiao Chen the most was that these people did not disguise themselves. Instead, they showed their true faces. They even held their heads high and didn't mind being seen by others.
Xiao Chen quietly signaled everyone to move to the sides. Although these Martial Masters were not in his eyes, Xiao Chen's purpose here was to bid for something, not to fight with others.
After these people rushed past, Xiao Chen continued to move forward. However, he deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for the people behind him to catch up. Just now, he saw from the corner of his eyes that a cultivator in front of him could not dodge in time, and was pushed by the Martial Master who opened the way, causing him to stumble and fall to the side.
When this person fell to the ground in defense, Xiao Chen also saw his strength. Unexpectedly, he was also a Martial Master. In other words, his strength was not weak, but he still chose to retreat. This made Xiao Chen very curious about the identity of this group of people.
After a while, that person came up. He was also an armed cultivator, but compared to the others, his armor was a bit strange. He wore a mask on his face, which made him look quite different.
"Brother, may I ask who those ruthless people are?" Xiao Chen waited for him to come up, and then asked while cupping his fists.
The masked man coldly looked at Xiao Chen, did not answer, and continued to move forward.
"Brother?" Xiao Chen was surprised, and then he chased after him.
"Could it be that you are here to make fun of me?" The masked man finally became impatient. He turned his head to look at Xiao Chen and said, "You are here to participate in the auction, but you don't know who he is?"
"Uh …" Xiao Chen's heart trembled. Could it be that this group of people is very famous?
"Alright, I am leaving. Don't think that I am easy to bully. It is true that I am afraid of them, but I am not afraid of you!" The masked man said indifferently, and his body revealed the aura of a fifth-level Martial Master.
"Brother, we are disciples of the sect who came out to gain experience. This is also the first time we have come to this auction, so we really don't know!" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "How could we bully you? The few of us are brother and sister, and even if we combined our strength, we are not a match for you! "
"Oh?" The masked man was slightly stunned, and he looked at Xiao Chen and the others.
Xia Xibin, Song Huawu, and Wang Chake hurriedly revealed their strength. The masked man realized that their strength was lower than his, so he believed Xiao Chen's words and said, "So you are all disciples of the sect who came to gain experience. No wonder. I am sorry for what happened just now, I thought you were making fun of me!"
This person was very open-minded, and after listening to Xiao Chen's explanation, he felt relieved.
"It's okay, our sect is here to let us gain experience. When we saw everyone move away just now, we also moved away. You know that although our sect is not weak, we are just newcomers." Xiao Chen deliberately did not say where he was from, and only said, "Also, when you go out to gain experience, you have to keep a low profile. The sect does not allow your identity to be exposed."
"I understand that." The masked man nodded and said, "I am from the Greenrock Sect, and I am currently the acting sect leader of the Greenrock Sect. However, don't you think I am doing badly?"
"Brother, you are already a fifth-level Martial Master, how can you say that? You are much stronger than us! "Xiao Chen hurriedly said.
"Sigh, our sect is just a small sect. My master, who is the old sect leader, has been injured for many years and is bedridden. The disciples of the sect have all left and disappeared over the years. Anyway, seeing that the sect has no development, most of them have gone to find their own way. So, even though I am strong, I still have to lower my head in front of many people!" The masked man sighed and said helplessly.
"Brother, with your strength, it will not be difficult for you to rebuild the sect in the future!" Xiao Chen said.
"Forget it, I know my own situation!" As if seeing that Xiao Chen was really a newcomer who did not know anything, the masked man no longer guarded against him. "My name is Zheng Xinxiang, you can call me Brother Xiang. Brother, you are treating me like an outsider."
"Okay, then I will call you Brother Xiang. My name is Qiang Xiao, and I am a fourth-level Martial Master!" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh? You are at the fourth-level Martial Master! " Zheng Xinxiang was a little surprised. "Then your strength is not weak, and you are a new disciple for training. Your sect is not small!"
"These are all matters of the sect. Forgive me for not saying much." Xiao Chen said apologetically.
"It is okay, big sects have their own rules!" Zheng Xinxiang did not mind and said, "Oh right, you should have heard of the sect of those people. They are from Jinyi Sect."
"Jinyi Sect?" Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. He had never heard of it.
"You don't know?" Looking at Xiao Chen's expression, it was obvious that he did not know.
"In the past, besides the matters of the sect, I did not know anything else." Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.
"That is true. Jinyi Sect is a relatively big sect and is one of the leading sects among the famous righteous sects. So, don't think that those people who just passed by are about the same strength as me. We cannot offend them. These people are very overbearing. When small sects like us see them, we can only take a detour!" Zheng Xinxiang said.
"Oh? Since it is a famous righteous sect, why are they so overbearing? "Xiao Chen asked.
"Famous righteous sects are only relative to demon sects. Not all demon sects will name themselves as righteous sects!" Zheng Xinxiang said.
