Chapter 2044: Shocking Changes

As time went by, the auction gradually came to an end. During this period, many treasures appeared on the stage, and each one was more precious than the other. As for the last few items, even the top-grade Xuantian Lingbao appeared, and there were rare top-grade elixirs on the stage, which really made the venue boil.

Not only did the representatives of the major sects compete fiercely, but even Ling Yue Fairy and Zhao Lingqu, who had always cheated and watched, could not help but bid, directly pushing the atmosphere of the venue to the top, and the final transaction price was so high that ordinary people were afraid that they would not even be qualified to participate.

But Qin Tian did not make a move again, even in the face of a treasure, he always remained calm.

Because at this time, the more treasures you bid, the higher the probability of being targeted. If you don't know how to restrain your edge, the end will definitely not be good.

In this way, when it was late at night, the grand auction finally came to an end, and no treasure was lost during the whole process, which was enough to make the Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes earn a lot of money.

According to past practice, after the auction, a grand free trade fair will be held in the inner city area for the monks to exchange what they have and what they don't have. It is also a good opportunity for the monks who didn't get the things they wanted. Therefore, many monks who came from afar will choose to stay in the inner city area and take the opportunity to search for what they need.

Qin Tian was naturally no exception. Seeing that many monks below began to leave, he also hurriedly got up and left the private room, but he did not leave the inner city hastily. Instead, he followed the crowd to the street and seemed to wander around unintentionally.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the lights were on.

The streets were crowded with people, and noisy sounds could be heard everywhere. Many monks sat on the ground and set up stalls to sell goods. The stalls were several miles long, and there were people wandering around freely. You could hardly see the end at a glance.

The grand event held once every fifty years has brought a rare prosperous scene to the inner city that has been silent for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you come, you should make the best of it.

Qin Tian simply walked and strolled leisurely, obviously wanting to see if he could find something he liked, just to broaden his horizons.

After all, the cultivators gathered in the stall area at this moment all came from all over the world, and it was really a mixed bag with many schools, so the materials that appeared were also strange and bizarre, basically things that were rarely seen in normal times, and some even Qin Tian could not fully recognize.

Although he seemed to be strolling on the surface, in fact, the power of his spiritual consciousness had already quietly spread out, always alerting everything around to prevent being tracked.

Sure enough, this method was indeed effective.

Not long after, Qin Tian keenly noticed that several auras had been hanging far behind him since he left the venue. Although he could not detect the specific situation in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he was quite familiar with three of them. They were the masters of the Void Refining Stage who had participated in the previous competition for the rhino blood.

As for the other person, after careful identification, it was found that it was Bai Xiaofeng, the son of the White Lotus!

Obviously, this seemingly feminine sissy is not as simple as he seems. This move is nothing more than trying to fish in troubled waters and seize treasures.

However, seeing this situation, Qin Tian was calm.

Although these people could not detect his true cultivation level due to the hidden Yuan Jue and the Wuxiang Mask, it was hard to guarantee that someone would not find out clues through the venue. For example, the City Lord's Mansion and the three affiliated forces definitely have this ability. Moreover, the various chambers of commerce are mixed, and no one knows how many dirty things are hidden behind the scenes. Therefore, it is inevitable that Xuanjizi's identity will be exposed.

If it were someone else, he would have been scared and confused by being suddenly spotted by several masters of the Refining Void Stage. But since Qin dared to participate in the auction, he naturally had a plan to deal with it, so he would not be panicked at all at this moment.

However, it is not an easy task to get away from the other party's eyes. The only thing to be thankful for is that fighting is prohibited in the entire Burning Heaven Holy City, so as long as Qin is not in a hurry to leave the city, there is still a big chance of turning around.

So, after that, Qin Tian did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to wander around the inner city area as if he had no idea, and walked in crowded places. After a big circle, he entered a street inn leisurely and rented a superior room, and did not forget to open all the isolation formations.

Many pursuers did not know why, and they all followed quietly, but they could not find out the specific situation in the room, so they could only hide in the dark and continue to monitor.

Then a young man in green clothes in the foundation-building period came slowly, holding spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, and went straight into the room. After a while, he left slowly. The whole process was extremely fast, and there was no abnormality at all. The isolation formation was still closed as before.

Seeing this scene, the people in the dark did not suspect him.

But no one noticed that after the young man in green left, he only worked in the inn for a while, then left the inner city under the pretext of purchasing spiritual food, and disappeared in the surging crowd of the outer city.

This cycle repeated, and the aura that was secretly following him really dissipated. After making sure that no one was following him, Qin Tian headed towards the city gate.

With the help of the Golden Cicada Escape Method, when he left the Holy City and flew away, he had already turned into a white-haired old man with a cane, hunched back, and wrinkles on his face. His cultivation was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he looked like a down-and-out casual cultivator, which would not attract the slightest attention from others.

Many pursuers were still keeping close watch around the inn. When they realized something was wrong after the lease period, they found that there was no trace of the Taoist Xuanjizi in the room.

Only a stripped Xiao Si was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. Judging from the excited expression on his face, the scene in his dream must be extraordinary.

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators turned pale.

Especially Bai Xiaofeng, who was almost angry to the point of losing his color, but everyone had no choice but to leave in dismay.

Since then, the whereabouts of Taoist Xuanjizi has become a mystery.

He was like a mysterious passerby, coming lightly without taking away any dust, but playing with all the cultivators in his hands. Only a few deeds were circulated in the market.

................

On the other hand, after leaving the Holy City, a certain demon Taoist was free to fly in the sky and fish in the sea, and he was in a good mood after returning with a full load of spiritual materials.

But he did not relax his vigilance, still maintaining the form of a white-haired old man, and slowly moving at the speed of the late Nascent Soul.

This is because from beginning to end, the most threatening demon girl Ling Yue did not reveal any trace of her whereabouts, which was obviously a bit abnormal and completely inconsistent with the domineering style of the Shinto sect.

Qin was not naive enough to think that the other party would let him go after saying harsh words, so he inevitably had some concerns in his heart.

After all, the demon girl has a long-standing reputation and is also a contemporary leader of the Shinto sect. There is no need to say much about her strength, and her magical skills must be extremely mysterious. Therefore, no one dared to guarantee that this method of escaping from the shell could be hidden from the other party's ears and eyes.

If there is any mistake, with the strength of the demon girl, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end well today.

In this way, with a nervous mood, Qin Tian bit the bullet and flew thousands of miles again, gradually moving away from the Holy City area and entering the vast desert.

Unexpectedly, what you fear will come true.

Just when he felt relieved, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from behind, and a black light shot out from the sky, which was very eye-catching in the yellow sand.

But surprisingly, this person was not Ling Yue!

Because in the light, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a hat with cold eyes could be vaguely seen. Judging from the faint aura, it was the mysterious master who had reached the early stage of refining the void and was hiding in the hall of the venue when fighting for the rhino blood.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was immediately shocked!

If it was Ling Yue who came in person, he might not be so shocked, but who could have expected that the demon girl did not appear, but waited for another master of refining the void?

You must know that he had changed his appearance several times just now, and he, Qin, confirmed again and again that he had already shaken off all the pursuers, otherwise how could he feel at ease to escape from the city?

But now the mysterious monk suddenly appeared.

How could this not be shocking?

Unless the other party had already noticed the clues and followed him until now, there was no way to explain the current situation.

But with the powerful divine sense, the double blessing of the Wuxiang Divine Art and the mask, Qin Tian was confident that even if he encountered a mid-stage refining void, the other party would never be able to see through the disguise without the special spiritual eye secret technique, so this change naturally caught him off guard.

But soon, as if he remembered something, he quickly extended his divine sense to scan carefully, and indeed, he detected a familiar breath in the black-robed man's facial area.

This breath was extremely weak, and it was very easy to ignore it if it was not carefully detected, but Qin Tian was very sure that it was the breath of the "Wuxiang Mask"!

In other words, this person actually came from the mysterious Wuxiang Palace, and was able to be given the "Wuxiang Mask", at least he was a ground-level assassin, which could explain why the other party was able to track him all the way here!

Because no matter how the appearance changes, the breath of the mask cannot change. If it is an ordinary person, it may be difficult to detect, but the other party has a way to sense the flaws with the Wuxiang Mask.

After figuring out everything, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had been cautious enough, and his plan was perfect, but who could have expected to encounter an assassin from the Wuxiang Palace? This luck can only be described as heaven-defying.

But seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, it was impossible to avoid it at this moment. Therefore, Qin Tian's eyes flickered, and he simply stopped his escape light, and then bowed and said from a distance:

"This senior brother is polite. We are all from the same school, but you have followed me here for no reason. Isn't this a bit impolite?"

While speaking, Qin Tian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he directly pointed out his identity. Obviously, he wanted to use the tiger skin as a banner to see if he could make the other party retreat.

Although this move was suspected of playing tricks, with the blessing of the Hidden Yuan Jue, he was confident that with the other party's cultivation in the early stage of Lianxu, he should not be able to see through his true realm.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the black-robed man quickly stopped his flight, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that he was not sure about Qin Tian's background, and he dared not rashly test him.

But he soon came up with a countermeasure, and hurriedly bowed in a seemingly friendly manner:

"Hehe~! Junior brother, please don't misunderstand me. I am just passing by. Seeing that you are unfamiliar, I thought of coming over to say hello, but I don't know which hall you are serving in?"

Hearing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly.

With his intelligence, how could he not know the deep meaning?

But facing this deliberate test, it is obviously impossible to evade it. After all, the Wuxiang Hall is extremely mysterious. Except for the people inside, who would know the detailed division?

And if the answer is wrong, the identity will be exposed.

So Qin Tian had no choice but to throw his sleeves and pretend to be angry:

"Hmph! Sorry, I have a mission to complete, so I can't tell you the details. I have already issued a strict order. Brother, please do as you please...!"

After that, Qin Tian turned around and left without hesitation, flying straight towards the horizon. His cold attitude was consistent with the assassin's usual style, and his speed of escaping light also increased sharply, which was very different from before.
