Lou Xiaoyi's decision to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Meeting this time wasn't entirely because of his vindictiveness! His current disposition had long since passed the age of vindictiveness!
The reason the Huangting Daoism had set up such a formation was obviously because they weren't able to confirm who exactly was the thief! He could be said to have been extremely careful and never been careless when he came to the Golden Hall Continent this time. He didn't even reveal his true appearance, didn't use his flying sword, and the fluctuations of his Dharmic Energy fluctuated indeterminately. He only used his true name when interacting with Golden Hall Realm cultivators, and this was a must. Because when he entered and exited the spatial rifts and passageways, it was impossible for his transformation to escape the perception of Daoist Yuanying!
Moreover, he had to have a true and trustworthy identity when he was traveling around here!
Since his true identity wasn't exposed, then why should he be afraid of participating in the Treasure Appraisal Meeting? He wouldn't make a move, and it would be good to broaden his horizons!
Yes, at the same time he decided to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Meeting, he'd also decided that he would absolutely not make a move during the meeting, and he would be one of the countless cultivators that scrambled madly for treasures! Who could doubt him? A fellow Daoist that similarly came from the nine great sects?
He just happened to be able to seize this opportunity to identify the owner of these treasures and what they were hiding. It would be much more convenient for him to make a move in the future, and he wouldn't have to endlessly buy information from the merchant association!
Merchants valued profit greatly, and he hadn't caused any deaths now, so the merchants were still trustworthy. Once he exposed something big, the merchant association would surely be the first to sell information about him, and he was clearly aware of this.
He'd gone this time for the sake of inspecting the treasures and for the sake of silently investigating those people that had set a trap for him!
He'd surely make a move once more in the Golden Hall Continent! He'd slap the faces of these natives! He'd seen it very clearly. The best opportunity was after the Treasure Appraisal Meeting?
Could these people that schemed against him protect these cultivators that possessed treasures for their entire lifetimes? At most, he'd go around the other continents and return 10 plus years later to see if these people were still constantly thinking about him!
This was the safest and most perfect response! Then now was the time for him to properly enjoy and satisfy his craving.
After making a decision, his mood relaxed. He suddenly noticed that the feeling of being a thief was completely different from purely being a spectator, and this was relaxing from the inside out!
I'm still not a true thief! When did it become more natural to be a great thief than a spectator? That was the true realm of a Fifth Ring cultivator!
Jingji Dao was a bustling place, yet it was far away from Yellow Court Mountain. Such a choice of venue was slightly baffling in the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, but Lou Xiaoyi knew that this was only a method to let down his guard.
He traveled all the way to the east and passed through several prefectures. In less than a month, he'd already arrived at the capital. This was the most flourishing prefecture in the Golden Hall Continent, and it was truly his first time here. His mood was relaxed, and he did things in a carefree manner. He ate and played as he pleased, and he even inquired about the specific location of the Treasure Appraisal Convention from the people of the Dafa. His performance was just like a true traveling cultivator from the outer lands!
Actually, there was no need to ask too much. When he arrived at Jingji Dao, most of the flying traces of the cultivators in the sky pointed to one place, and that was definitely the location of the Treasure Appraisal Meeting!
Guangcheng Palace was a side palace of the Huangting Daoism in Jingji Dao. It wasn't a place for cultivators, and it was purely a place for the Huangting Daoism to show kindness to the mortals. Such palaces could be found almost all over the continent. They varied in size, but their purpose was the same.
The Daoists of Guangcheng Palace had been transferred to other Dao palaces half a month before the Treasure Appraisal Meeting. The completely vacated Dao palaces were completely occupied by Yellow Court Sect cultivators. A portion of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators who didn't know the truth, and a portion of them were law enforcement cultivators from the small vestibule of Yellow Court Mountain. They were in charge of the security of the entire Guangcheng Palace!
In the same realm, if a cultivator ran away, ten cultivators wouldn't be able to catch up to him. It was precisely because they knew that the Great Thief's Escape Technique was powerful that the law enforcement cultivators of the small vestibule were not careless at all. They didn't put on airs either. Indeed, Daoist Yuanying didn't come, but a large group of Jin Dan cultivators from the small vestibule had come. In addition to the various Jin Dan cultivators who presented their treasures, there were more than two hundred of them in total. It was a force to be feared!
Xia Bingji stood on the roof of Guangcheng Palace and looked down. There were cultivators going in and out continuously, and they seemed to be setting up something. She was one of the people in charge of this Treasure Appraisal Meeting. There was another person who stood side by side with her. He was a handsome, handsome, and divine male cultivator who had entered the small vestibule earlier than her. He was also Yin Ya's elder brother from the same clan. He had the highest combat strength among the younger generation, and he was also one of the people who had the most hope of becoming the Yuanying!
There were a few other cultivators standing behind them, including Yin Ya, who arranged the flowers, colored draperies, furniture, and other insignificant things in the entire venue. However, she was completely unrelated to the core security of the entire venue.
She was very unhappy because she had a lot of good ideas that weren't carried out. Actually, in her opinion, capturing a mere Five Element Bandit was only a small matter. It was something she could do along the way. With so many Jin Dan cultivators here, why would she need to arrange anything? Even if they used numbers, they could crush him to death!
The key was the Treasure Appraisal Meeting! There hadn't been such a meeting in the Golden Court Continent for a few hundred years! In her opinion, if the capture was successful and the meeting failed, it would be an even greater failure! If the capture failed and the meeting succeeded, it could be considered a perfect success!
The meat was rotting in the pot, and the reputation was stinky at home. How could the loss of a mere Zu Chong offset the views of the entire continent, including the countless cultivators from outside the continent towards the Golden Court Continent? However, her companions didn't think this way. They attached more importance to the capture of the Five Element Bandit and rejected many of her groundbreaking ideas because of this. This made her very unhappy.
But there was nothing she could do. As the saying goes, the words of a lowly person carry little weight. With her status, she could mess around and act coquettishly, but she couldn't make decisions when it came to important matters!
The problem now was that the two leaders were arguing about the tactical arrangements. They each had their own opinions and didn't give in to each other!
Xia Bingji spoke softly, but her tone was very firm. "Deploy troops to the Guangcheng Palace and try to capture him in one fell swoop! It will definitely cause a disturbance, but if we explain it properly, it will instead increase the prestige of our Huangting Daoism on the continent!
This person's Five Element Escape Technique is strange and profound. Although there are a few experts in the Five Element Escape Technique among us, no one knows what will happen when the time comes!
We can arrange a small number of people outside! In an open area, if a cultivator with profound escape technique wants to escape, there isn't much difference between two or three people and ten people surrounding him!
Therefore, my opinion is to maintain our prestige in the Guangcheng Palace! We don't need to be afraid of chaos! We need to capture him quickly and not give him a chance to escape out of the palace! "
In fact, Xia Bingji was also very helpless. Her idea was very good, but she didn't expect that when it was implemented, it would change from a small scale Treasure Appraisal Conference to a meeting on the continent!
This pair of siblings from the Yin Clan achieved the same goal by different means and created a great momentum. In fact, it was also because of the internal strife, alliance, competition, and so on within the Huangting Daoism.
However, she still placed her hopes on this Treasure Appraisal Conference because this bandit didn't hurt anyone!
If he didn't hurt anyone, he had a bottom line and pride. Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still come and take a look!
Although it was very likely that he didn't want to make a move, she believed in her intuition! As long as this person appeared, she would definitely be able to find him!
