After dinner, Lin Huang headed straight to the black market.
That night, there was an underground auction in the black market.
He found out that slaves from various tribes were among the items being auctioned.
Lin Huang knew that Shen Jue and Shen Yu would be there.
It had been a week since the consecutive assassination of ninth-rank Heavenly Gods on the Heavenly God Leaderboard.
Throughout the week, this incident had stirred up heated discussion.
At first, everyone guessed that it was Zang Tian, but later, someone confirmed that Zang Tian had followed the expedition into the Abyss and had yet to emerge.
A few people also guessed that it was Death's Scythe's recent rising star, Xiu Mu, but this was quickly refuted.
After all, a few months ago, the highest combat result that Lin Huang had achieved as Xiu Mu was only killing third-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses. Moreover, he was only a True God.
Moreover, many of those who died this time were geniuses from major organizations on the Heavenly God Leaderboard. Those who could make it onto the Heavenly God Leaderboard were the cream of the crop among ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses. Ordinary ninth-rank powerhouses could not compare to their abilities. Those who could kill these people in seconds were either half-step Lords or peak heavenly god-level powerhouses like Zang Tian.
Many people did not doubt Xiu Mu's abilities after elevating to ninth-rank heavenly god-level. They even thought that he might surpass Zang Tian.
However, logically speaking, it had only been less than half a year since Xiu Mu had last appeared in public. No matter how talented Xiu Mu was, it was impossible for his combat strength to leap an entire major rank in such a short time and elevate to ninth-rank heavenly god-level.
Xiu Mu's name only appeared in everyone's minds for a moment before it was buried.
After all, apart from Death's Scythe, there were other assassin organizations in the God Territory, and the assassins might come from outside the God Territory.
After several days of heated discussion, Lin Huang's suspension of hunting caused the popularity to die down gradually.
On the Internet, where information was exploding, everyone was forgetful and easily attracted to new things.
This was also what Lin Huang wanted to see because he knew that if the popularity continued, it would only make it more difficult for him to kill the last two targets.
After entering the auction venue, Lin Huang quickly found his seat and sat down.
After sitting down, he looked around.
This kind of illegal underground auction did not have a fixed schedule. The location of each auction was also temporarily built or rented to avoid being reported.
The Gemini Star Black Market's auction venue was not big. It could only accommodate three thousand people, and there were no so-called VIP booths.
There was only one open hall with a total of thirty rows of seats, and each row had a hundred seats.
Lin Huang's seat was on the 30th row at the end of the corridor, closest to the door.
The reason why he chose such a position was because he was afraid that if he made any small movements, the people behind him would notice something unusual. On the other hand, this position was also the most convenient for evacuation.
The reason why they chose to carry out the assassination in the venue was because there would be a lot of uncertainty if they were to do it outside the venue.
If the two targets don't set off at the same time.
In that case, he could only kill one person and give up on the second target.
There was no such problem in the venue, because the siblings would meet there sooner or later. He only needed to wait patiently for them to appear.
Furthermore, given Shen Jue and Shen Yu's status and potential in the Divine Capital, the two of them would definitely have experts protecting them in secret during this period of time where everyone was in a state of panic.
In such a crowded place, they could also distract the attention of their protectors.
Lin Huang arrived at the venue earlier than the rest. As soon as he arrived, more and more people came.
Seeing that the first row was getting more and more full, Lin Huang became increasingly uncertain whether Shen Jue and Shen Yu would come.
After all, the guest list was completely confidential. He had only guessed that the two of them would come based on the slaves at the auction. He could not be a hundred percent sure.
Only when the auction was about to officially begin and the auctioneer was already standing below the stage, did two figures finally arrive.
They were a woman in a white dress and a man in a white suit.
The two of them looked very similar. Their faces and figures were perfect and flawless.
Their appearance quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the venue, including Lin Huang.
These two people were none other than his targets — Shen Jue and Shen Yu!
They attracted everyone's attention the moment they appeared. Their expressions were calm, as if they were used to such scenes.
Shen Yu held Shen Jue's arm and the two of them slowly walked to the last two seats in the middle of the first row. They occupied the two best seats in the entire auction venue.
However, no one raised any objections.
On the Gemini Star, even the tourists could not possibly not recognize Shen Jue and Shen Yu.
The corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly. In the entire venue, he was probably the happiest person to see the siblings.
For this operation, he was most worried that the two of them would not show up. If they did not show up, it would mean that he had made a wasted trip. Furthermore, he did not know when he would get the next opportunity to make a move.
To Lin Huang, the appearance of the two of them was equivalent to completing half of his assassination mission.
Seeing the siblings take their seats, Lin Huang did not immediately make a move. Instead, he waited patiently.
The auction had yet to begin, so there was no one to share his attention. This was not the best time to make a move.
After Shen Jue and Shen Yu entered the venue, the auctioneer checked the time before stepping onto the stage.
After some opening remarks, the underground auction finally officially began!
"Today, let's welcome our first auction item!" The auctioneer said as he lifted the red cloth covering the auction item, revealing a set of golden armor.
Lin Huang could not see anything special about it. It was just a top-notch god sequence armor relic, and the craftsmanship was not considered exquisite. He did not know why it was being auctioned underground.
However, he noticed that many people seemed to be interested in this armor.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the auctioneer finally began to explain.
"I'm sure many guests can tell that this is a set of general armor from the Combat God Temple. Even in the Combat God Temple, only top heavenly god-level powerhouses are qualified to purchase it. Under normal circumstances, such an item is not allowed to appear outside the Combat God Temple. Therefore, in the entire God Territory, apart from the Combat God Temple, it is said that only three people own such a collection.
"I wonder which guest will be able to win this collection today and become the legendary fourth person …"
After listening to the auctioneer's description, Lin Huang suddenly realized that it was a prohibited item from the Combat God Temple.
Some powerful organizations had their own exclusive equipment that was not for sale to outsiders. This set of armor clearly belonged to this category.
It was no longer just a top-notch god sequence relic, but it was also an out-of-print collectible.
Seeing that there was an endless stream of people bidding, the price soared. In less than ten seconds, it had exceeded the price of a normal top-notch god sequence armor relic by three times, and it was still rising.
All Lin Huang could say was that the happiness of being rich was unimaginable.
