Gu Qingluan replied, “We were obviously just passing by.”

One of them sneered. “Passing by? Now that the Shadow Tower is sealed, no one can leave. You two are not staying in your seats, wandering around. Aren’t you afraid of being taken as thieves or accomplices? Come clean!”

“I didn’t know the Shadow Tower’s management was so extensive. They even want to control when we leave and stay.” Me Lianjun clicked his tongue twice in disapproval.

The man wanted to retort but was stopped by the leader.

The leader scrutinized them again and said meaningfully, “I advise you both, if you don’t have urgent matters, return to your seats to avoid trouble.”

Gu Qingluan asked with an unchanged expression, “So, now nobody can leave the Shadow Tower?”

“Of course!”

Gu Qingluan nodded, “Understood, thank you for the reminder. We’ll go back now.”

After that, they headed back to the auction hall.

He Lianjun followed hastily.

“Mu Hufa, these two seem suspicious. Are you just letting them go?” one of the Shadow Tower disciples, who had clashed with He Lianjun earlier, asked.

The leader, who was called Mu Hufa, pointed at the two and said, “You two, keep an eye on them discreetly.”

“Yes, Mu Hufa!”

“The rest of you continue pursuing the thief!”

Gu Qingluan and He Lianjun returned to the auction hall.

Most of the people were still present, and the scene was bustling with activity.

He Lianjun lowered his voice and asked, “Brother Jun, weren’t you looking for someone earlier?”

Gu Qingluan replied, “Didn’t you see that all the participants in the auction are still here?”

She believed the person she was looking for hadn’t left either.

“Yes, that’s strange. These top-notch individuals from all over are still seated here without causing a commotion. Quite unusual!”

They found an empty seat and sat down.

He Lianjun grabbed someone nearby and inquired, “Brother, did something happen just now? Why is everyone still sitting here?”

“Don’t you know? Someone forcibly took the Boundary Wall Key earlier and, while escaping, threw the key into the crowd. Little did they know the key was not only fake but also poisoned. During the scuffle, the poison powder scattered, and many people nearby were affected, including the Second Prince of the Holy Heaven Dynasty. The Master of the Shadow Tower is furious, and coupled with the fact that some of the poisoned individuals have extraordinary backgrounds, they teamed up to suppress the entire crowd. Naturally, nobody can leave now.”

Gu Qingluan and He Lianjun exchanged a glance, then looked around.

At first glance, it did seem like everyone was still there, but upon closer inspection, some of the people who had been seated near them earlier were now missing.

He Lianjun asked a few more questions.

The poison inflicted by the masked figure was extremely unusual, and no one had been able to find a cure yet.

The masked figure thought that creating chaos would allow them to escape, but when they snatched the key, they unwittingly touched the “Thousand-Mile Trace” substance smeared on the key’s surface, leading to their quick discovery. However, this individual was indeed formidable. Despite the pursuit by the Shadow Tower and other experts, they managed to escape the search once again.

He Lianjun used a hushed voice to communicate, “Brother Jun…”

Gu Qingluan gave him a sidelong glance. “Shut up!”

He Lianjun was only at the low Heavenly Realm stage, and it was easy for people of higher cultivation levels to eavesdrop on his hushed conversations. He rubbed his nose and quietly asked, “We shouldn’t be in trouble, right?” “We won’t,” Gu Qingluan replied calmly.

The Stellar Space was an independent realm. When she threw the masked figure inside, it was like tossing them into another world. Even if the figure had been contaminated by the “Thousand-Mile Trace” poison, the people from the Shadow Tower wouldn’t be able to find them.

However, there was one problem: she wasn’t sure if she had accidentally been exposed to it.

If she had, she might have already been considered a suspect by the Shadow Tower.

Gu Qingluan wasn’t one to sit around and wait for trouble.

She entered the Stellar Space with her divine consciousness.

“Mistress, Mistress! How should we deal with this person?” Heaven Star appeared before her, blinking its starry eyes with excitement..
