Chapter 1358 - 703: Cut the Crap
"E-...Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact! Young Master Liu Su bids with one Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact! According to market value, it’s at least equivalent to fifty lower-grade Spirit Stones!"
The entire venue fell silent.
Young Master Qin’s face turned from white to green, then from green to black.
He stared fiercely at the small emerald sword, his chest rising and falling violently.
"Young Master..."
Tie San whispered.
"We...should give up. Earth Rank Spiritual Artifacts are beyond our reach..."
"Shut up!"
Young Master Qin squeezed out two words through his teeth, but eventually, he slumped back into his chair, snapping the Jade Fan in his hand with a "crack".
Chu Qianxuan waited a moment, seeing no one else bid, he spoke loudly.
"Congratulations to Young Master Liu Su for acquiring the Nine Desolate Horned Rhinoceros heart! The auction concludes!"
Liu Suciang rose elegantly, nodding slightly to those around him, and when his gaze swept past Young Master Qin, a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Dear guests, please take a short rest, as we have two more treasures coming up next."
Chu Qianxuan announced.
Young Master Qin slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to fall and shatter on the ground.
"Damn it! Those bastards from the Purple Mist Holy Land!"
He growled through gritted teeth.
"They knew our Qin Family desperately needed this heart..."
Tie San whispered.
"Young Master, please calm down. The Family Head has mentioned that even if we don’t get the heart, we have other methods..."
Just then, the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open, and Wang Liu rushed in, sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Y-...Young Master! Something’s happened!"
Young Master Qin was already in a foul mood, and seeing this, he became even angrier.
"What are you panicking for! Has the sky fallen?"
Wang Liu swallowed hard.
"Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei...they’ve disappeared!"
"What?"
Young Master Qin stood up abruptly.
"When did this happen?"
"Just an hour ago, they were supposed to be monitoring Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao in the west of the city, but when I went to check just now, they were nowhere to be found, not even the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant can reach them."
Young Master Qin’s face instantly turned ashen.
"What about Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao?"
"They...they’re gone too."
Wang Liu wiped his sweat.
"And Mu Feng and Mu Xi, the siblings responsible for monitoring their area aren’t able to find anyone either..."
"Useless! A bunch of useless!"
In a fit of rage, Young Master Qin smashed the tea table beside him into dust with a palm.
"So many people, just disappearing into thin air like this?"
Tie San spoke in a low voice.
"Young Master, this is suspicious.
Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei both have mid Golden Core cultivation, they couldn’t have been dealt with silently..."
Young Master Qin forced himself to calm down, taking a deep breath.
"Tie San, try using your Sound Transmission Jade Pendant."
Tie San nodded, took out a blue jade pendant from his chest, and injected Spiritual Power into it. The jade pendant glowed faintly, then quickly dimmed again.
"No response."
Tie San frowned.
"But I can sense the general location of the other pendant..."
Tie San’s forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, his fingers rapidly moving across the jade pendant.
"The pendant indicates they were taken out of the Sky Cloud Pavilion, moving very fast, direction...due south!"
"Useless! All useless!"
Young Master Qin kicked over the redwood tea table in front of him, scattering the tea set.
"Gu Sheng and his gang dared to escalate things! Tie San, chase them down!"
Tie San showed a strained expression.
"Young Master Qin, they might have used the Void Ring, we..."
"Stop babbling!"
Young Master Qin grabbed Tie San by the collar.
"My father didn’t raise you to talk nonsense! If those people escape today, expect to be feeding the Soul-devouring Beast at the City Lord Mansion!"
Tie San gulped and nodded with difficulty.
"Understood. But to catch up with them, Young Master Qin might need to endure sharing a Flying Sword with me..."
"Let’s go!"
Young Master Qin didn’t wait for him to finish and was already striding out, the jade pendant at his waist jingling.
Tie San dared not delay, and from his sleeve, he summoned a narrow, entirely black sword; the sword expanded with the wind, turning the size of a door in an instant.
He cast spells, and the Flying Sword hovered three feet above the ground, emitting a buzzing tremor.
"Young Master Qin, please."
Young Master Qin snorted coldly, leaping onto the Flying Sword. Tie San quickly followed, changing hand gestures, and the Flying Sword immediately shot southward, leaving a trail of black light across the sky above Luoyun City.
"Faster!"
Young Master Qin stood at the front of the Flying Sword, his robes flapping fiercely in the strong wind.
"If they escape beyond Luoyun City’s boundaries, I’ll hold you accountable!"
Tie San gritted his teeth, pouring Spiritual Power into the Flying Sword frantically.
"This is already the fastest speed, Young Master Qin. The Sound Transmission Jade Pendant indicates they just passed the south gate..."
"South gate?"
Young Master Qin spun around quickly, his anger intensifying.
"Are the gate guards blind? They saw four people stroll out of the city and didn’t see it?"
Tie San didn’t reply, focusing on controlling the Flying Sword. The buildings below swiftly retreated, and in a blink, the towering south gate’s walls came into view.
The Flying Sword abruptly braked before the city gate, kicking up a cloud of dust. The gate guards, startled, gathered round with spears.
"Who dares to..."
The leading guard’s words were cut short, his face turning pale.
"Young...Young Master Qin!"
Young Master Qin jumped off the Flying Sword, kicking the guard over.
"You worthless scum! Did four people just leave the city?"
The guard curled on the ground, clutching his stomach.
"In response to Young Master Qin...indeed four people, about half an hour ago..."
"Why didn’t you stop them?"
Young Master Qin raged, the jade pendant at his waist suddenly flaring with a blood-red light.
"Are you paid by my father just to eat and do nothing?"
Another guard spoke nervously.
"Young Master Qin, please calm down... Those four had a legitimate road pass, and their appearances matched. We really..."
Tie San suddenly interjected.
"Were they two men, two women? Was there a sickly-looking girl among them?"
The guard nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly! A pale scholar with a sickly girl, and two who seemed like siblings..."
"Disguise Skill."
Tie San said in a deep voice.
