Qiong Star, Kou Heavenly King's Residence. The door of the Kou Clan's most important place suddenly opened. Kou Lingxu appeared at the door, his eyes flickering.
Old Tang quickly came out from the side door and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
Kou Lingxu said, "Tell the Phantom City to stop all operations immediately."
Old Tang asked curiously, "Why?"
Kou Lingxu tilted his head and said, "This is a trap set by Lord Qing. Niu Youde sent a message to Wen Lan, and Wen Lan sent an urgent message to Third Son."
Old Tang was shocked. He understood that Third Young Master must have sent an urgent message to his father. He quickly took out the star bell and sent a message to his men to stop.
Kou Lingxu sighed with his hands behind his back. "I'm confused. I was blinded by White Phoenix's background and didn't think Lord Qing would go against me. I didn't expect Lord Qing to make such a move … I'm afraid we are not the only ones who were blinded.
Old Tang understood that the relationship between the Four Heavenly Kings was both competitive and cooperative. They could only work together against Lord Qing. Once Lord Qing broke them apart, none of them would have a good ending. Old Tang naturally did as he was told. Who knew that before he could contact them, the Ying Family, one of the other three families, had already contacted him.
After contacting them, Old Tang held the star bell and reported, "Master, the Ying Clan informed us that the Phantom City is a trap set by Lord Qing. They asked us to be careful."
Kou Lingxu was stunned. "They already knew?"
Old Tang reminded, "Did Master forget? Ying Jiuguang's granddaughter, Zhan Ruyi, and Niu Youde are both at the Phantom City. Obviously, that granddaughter had already leaked the news to him. Ying Jiuguang and Master had the same idea and immediately informed the other three clans. "
"Oh … Eh?" Kou Lingxu said thoughtfully, "Lord Qing knew that using that girl might leak the news, but he still used her …"
Old Tang: "Just as Master said before, Qing Zhu still doesn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Master and the others. If he really does, eighty percent of the military power in the world is in Master and the others' hands. Unless he wants the world to be in chaos and outsiders can take advantage of it, he can't do anything to Master and the others right now. At that time, he won't be able to get out of this embarrassing situation. Therefore, he deliberately left a channel to leak the news. However … Qing Zhu's intention of expressing goodwill this time is a little too obvious. He actually pushed Ying Jiuguang's granddaughter to the forefront. "
Kou Lingxu, who was looking into the distance, sighed and said, "Yes! His goodwill was too obvious. He was telling us that he had already given in. Now it's our turn to give in. "
"What does he want?" Old Tang frowned.
Kou Lingxu said, "What else can I want? Naturally, it's to strengthen our control over the world! "
Old Tang was shocked. "He wants the military power of Master and the others?"
Kou Lingxu gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you think he would be interested in anything other than this arm wrestling match? With such a good opportunity and such a good excuse in his hands, how could he not seize the opportunity to do something? "
Old Tang said solemnly, "We already know the situation beforehand, so we won't fall into a trap. What can he do to us if he doesn't have anything on us?"
Kou Lingxu snorted, "You can't get anything on me? You don't think he's just starting to make his move now, do you? From the looks of it now, this was premeditated. The Right Monitor Division was obviously involved in this matter. This can be seen from the leak of Niu Youde's stay at the inn. It's just that we didn't expect Master Qing to have this trick up his sleeves and ignored it. Since Master Qing dared to use the Ying family's girl to expose the matter at the last moment, it's a warning to us that he's already prepared. Do you believe that the relevant people are already under the surveillance of the Right Monitor Division? Do you believe that Master Qing has already arranged for his men? As long as the families dare to make a move, he will immediately arrest them. They are scheming against us. Do you think they can escape? The matter only exploded at the last moment. Even if we want to send people to rescue them, it's too late. If we don't handle it well, we'll be walking right into a trap. Once they fall into the hands of the Right Monitor Division, with that little bastard Gao Guan's methods, do you think we can get away with it? It's not a small matter to have designs on that batch of broken magic bows. Once they're labeled as' rebellion ', no one can take it! "
"Ai!" Old Tang said in annoyance, "We've miscalculated! If it weren't for this batch of broken magic bows that lured everyone out, the Right Monitor Division might not have been able to keep an eye on our people. Master, how much do you think Master Qing wants? "
Kou Lingxu narrowed his eyes, "Now it depends on how many people will fall into the trap."
Old Tang was shocked, "Master, you mean, we won't inform the people below?"
Kou Lingxu, "It's not that we won't inform them, but we should inform them appropriately to protect the rank of Marshal. As for the rank of Lord of Stars, I'm afraid we have to give up a few positions. We can only concede to this point. Master Qing shouldn't be too greedy! "
Tian Mao Xingjun's Mansion. Small pavilion.
Tian Mao Xingjun, Pang Guan, paced back and forth in the pavilion with a solemn expression. The old servant, Chen Huaijiu, breathed a sigh of relief after making an emergency call with the star bell. He nodded to the pacing Pang Guan, "Master, the people from the Ghost City have stopped it in time."
Pang Guan, who was worried that it would be too late, stopped and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stroked his beard and muttered, "The higher-ups didn't reveal any information to us at all. I don't know if they really don't know, or if they're sacrificing their pawns to protect the king, or if there's some other reason. Should I inform the higher-ups?"
Chen Huaijiu waved his hand, "No matter what the situation is, there's one thing we can be sure of. With the current state of affairs, it's unlikely that His Majesty will completely fall out with the higher-ups. That won't do His Majesty any good, so Master, you don't have to worry about anything happening to the higher-ups. It's better to protect yourself than anything else.
Pang Guan nodded in agreement, then put on a smile and chuckled, "Niu Youde's news came just in time."
Chen Huaijiu also smiled, "Looks like the bad thing between you and Niu Youde has turned into a good thing. This kid is very shrewd. He won't blindly use Master's weakness to threaten you, which is equivalent to him taking the initiative to give us something to use against him. We can be friends!"
Pang Guan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. Previously, he was a little unhappy about Miao Yi's blackmail, but after this incident, the unhappiness in his heart had already vanished. Miao Yi had used facts to prove that they were working together. Working together was mutually beneficial, and there was no threat to each other. This was the way of a long-term relationship …
At this moment, outside the auction house, there was a boat docked by the riverside street. Under the dim light, the boatman sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, drinking fine wine with his head tilted upwards.
A few black-clothed men walked over from the riverside and jumped onto the boat one by one. They walked straight into the cabin, and the beaded curtains swayed.
The boatman turned around to look, then stood up and entered the cabin as well. He smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"
The black-clothed man sitting at the head of the table flashed a token. The smile on the boatman's face froze, and his pupils abruptly shrank. 'Pavilion of Faith and Justice!'
A black-clothed man beside him walked over, "Who were the four guests who were sent to the Pavilion of Faith and Justice?"
The boatman shook his head nervously, "I don't know. They were guests who boarded the boat at the last minute."
The black-clothed man asked, "Where did they board the boat?"
The boatman replied, "North Six Bay."
The black-clothed man asked, "If you see them again, will you be able to recognize them?"
The boatman replied, "I can't be sure. They have all disguised themselves. If they didn't change their appearances, I should be able to recognize them."
And so, the boatman was immediately controlled. This boatman was the one who took Miao Yi and the others to the Pavilion of Faith and Justice. Miao Yi and the others only took his boat, and didn't use his boat to arrange their return journey.
And Miao Yi, who was in the auction house, didn't care about anything. Zhan Ruyi told him to quickly make the arrangements. Even though he made the arrangements, he wouldn't let go of the chance to sneak in some private business. He didn't want to make a meaningless sacrifice for the Heavenly Court. He had already informed all the forces that he could.
It wasn't that he had a lot of foresight, but he had to think of a way to get through the possible danger ahead of him. Informing all the forces that he could was to reduce the pressure on him. If the forces that might charge at him retreated, he would naturally be able to reduce the risk. Otherwise, no one would know who he was, and if too many experts attacked him, he could easily be 'accidentally injured'.
Secondly, he also made a request to all the forces that he could inform. If anything happened to him, he hoped that they would try their best to help him get out of danger. They all agreed. As for whether they could do it or not, that was another matter. Miao Yi couldn't place all his hopes on the Heavenly Court's conscience. He had already experienced the Heavenly Court's conscience. It was bitten by a dog, and it wasn't reliable!
Zhan Ruyi more or less sensed something was wrong. He transmitted his voice and asked, "Why are you taking so long to arrange?"
Miao Yi replied, "This concerns my own safety. How can I not be careful?"
Zhan Ruyi thought about it and didn't ask further. Her attention was on the auction house.
The bidding in the auction house was a little intense. The bell rang incessantly, and the bidding price had already risen to twenty-three thousand trillion. Zhan Ruyi, who was already prepared, nodded his head slightly in a certain direction.
Soon, someone behind him raised his placard and shouted, "Thirty thousand trillion Red Crystals!"
His voice silenced the entire auction house. Everyone turned to look at the person who had raised his placard.
Silence. No one else was bidding anymore. The other party was clearly determined to get the Transcendence Piercing Bows for such a high price, and this wasn't a price that just anyone could afford. He must have an extraordinary background. With such strength and determination, everyone had to consider whether or not they could successfully take these one hundred thousand Transcendence Piercing Bows away from the other party's hands even if they managed to win the bid.
Those who had the strength to bid for these one hundred thousand Transcendence Piercing Bows all understood that if they wanted to obtain these Transcendence Piercing Bows, the battle would no longer take place in the auction house, but outside the auction house.
The female abbot looked below the stage. Seeing that there was no response, she said in a crisp voice, "Someone has bid thirty thousand trillion Red Crystals. Are there any other bids …" She asked three times, but no one responded. She shook the rope in her hand, and the bell rang three times. Finally, she said, "Number 957 has won the last round of one hundred thousand Transcendence Piercing Bows for thirty thousand trillion Red Crystals."
