Chapter 42 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the snake behind it

Hei Huang walked through alleys, and Xu Hei followed closely behind.

After a while, Hei Huang arrived at a large market in the center of the city. There were few mortals here, but many monks. There were all kinds of monks' shops, buying and selling treasures.

Hei Huang came to a weapon refining shop, took out a snake-shaped long sword, a scimitar, and a snake bone, and handed them over.

"A total of eight spirit stones, do you want them?" Hei Huang whispered.

After the shop owner took it, he was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Deal!"

After collecting the spirit stones, Hei Huang continued to move forward, and after twists and turns, he came to a shop that bought and sold medicinal materials.

He took out a pile of medicinal materials and asked, "A total of fifteen spirit stones, do you want them?"

After bargaining, he got thirteen spirit stones.

After that, he visited the elixir shop, the animal material shop, and all kinds of shops one by one, and sold a lot of treasures in exchange for spirit stones.

Xu Hei followed behind, stunned.

"So this old dog is out to sell the stolen goods, damn it! He embezzled so many treasures!" Xu Hei cursed in his heart.

How could he not see that this old dog had taken a lot of treasures from the storage bag and secretly sold them!

No wonder there were no valuable treasures in the storage bag of the Jindan clone, it turned out that they had been stolen long ago.

Xu Hei resisted the urge to rush out and bite people, and followed quietly behind to see how many spirit stones this old dog could sell, and then let him spit them out.

…………

Two monks in cloud-patterned white robes galloped from a distance and landed in the market.

After seeing the robes of these two people, many stall owners showed awe on their faces and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

These are the robes of the disciples of the Tiangui Sect!

The Tiangui Sect, the first sect of Qin State, is the overlord of Qin State. Any city is under the jurisdiction of the Tiangui Sect.

"Damn it, I was sent to such a remote place, and I have to stay there for three years before I can go back. How can I be so unlucky!" One of the horse-faced monks said gloomily.

"There is no way. We have been unable to build our foundation for a long time, so we can only obey the arrangement. Although Linjiang City is in chaos, it can still be profitable if it is handled well." Another handsome young man said calmly.

Both of them are outer disciples of Tiangui Sect. Because of their poor qualifications, they were sent to garrison and became the managers of Linjiang City.

If it were other cities, it would be fine. Linjiang City is the place that all disciples least want to come to. It is remote, chaotic, and barren. Sometimes there are evil cultivators causing trouble. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

The two of them first walked around the market and collected the stall fee.

Then, they walked towards Wanbao Pavilion.

"Hmm?"

The horse-faced young man narrowed his eyes, pulled his companion beside him, pointed at a short masked man in front, and said, "Did you notice that man just now?"

"I noticed him. He must have killed someone to steal treasures and came here to sell the stolen goods."

The handsome young man said calmly. This kind of thing is too common in Linjiang City, and he doesn't care about it.

The horse-faced young man didn't say anything, and his figure flashed and disappeared.

Wanbao Pavilion.

This is the largest chain chamber of commerce in Qin State. Only cultivators can enter.

Hei Huang walked into the hall, took out a spirit stone and shook it, and said, "Ask your manager to come over. I want to sell some things."

The receptionist immediately realized that a distinguished guest had come, and hurriedly called the manager to the hall.

"Let's see how much it is worth in total." Hei Huang threw out a storage bag.

The manager took it and looked at it. His spiritual sense scanned it and immediately widened his eyes.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This Taoist friend, why don't you go in and talk in detail?"

Hei Huang nodded and walked into the reception room.

Xu Hei did not follow him in, but waited outside the gate of Wanbao Pavilion.

After about an incense stick of time, Hei Huang came out.

He walked out of the gate of Wanbao Pavilion, looked around, and walked into an alley.

"What else is he going to do?" Xu Hei was puzzled.

He was about to follow him, when suddenly, a horse-faced young man rushed into Wanbao Pavilion and asked the manager quickly: "What did the black-clothed dwarf do just now?"

Next to the horse-faced young man, there was also a handsome young man, both wearing the same cloud-patterned robe.

When the manager saw that it was someone from the Tiangui Sect, he was immediately frightened and trembled, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "He sold many jade slips and magic weapons from the Snake Catching Sect, exchanged for a large amount of body-tempering pills, and the meat of demon beasts in the late stage of spiritual communication."

The manager did not hide anything and told everything.

"What is the approximate value of those treasures?" The horse-faced young man asked again.

"About a hundred spirit stones." The manager answered truthfully.

The horse-faced young man's eyes flashed, and he immediately chased in the direction where Hei Huang disappeared.

"Brother Yu, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, the handsome young man behind him stepped forward and said seriously: "We are new here. Before we find out the details of the other party, we should be cautious. Since that person is blatantly selling stolen goods everywhere, he does not hide his body and leaves in a swagger, which means he is not afraid of being remembered!"

Hearing this, Yu Qiang sneered: "I just saw that his whereabouts were suspicious, so I went up to question him, but I didn't do anything to him."

"..." The handsome young man frowned slightly.

Questioning? Who in Linjiang City can withstand questioning?

Questioning is equivalent to fighting and killing people to rob treasures.

He shook his head and sighed: "I'll go with you."

The two chased in the alley where Hei Huang disappeared.

Xu Hei stopped beside and witnessed the whole process. He was thinking a lot.

"It actually attracted the attention of the disciples of Tiangui Sect. This dead dog is too unlucky!"

Xu Hei didn't want to get involved, but Hei Huang just exchanged a lot of body-hardening pills and monster meat. This shows that Hei Huang didn't embezzle all of it, but bought him some things.

It doesn't matter whether Lao Gou is dead or alive, but don't ruin his pills.

"Follow him and see."

Xu Hei suddenly accelerated and followed him.

He vaguely felt that Lao Gou's swaggering sale of stolen goods was suspected of fishing.

It's okay to catch two small fish and shrimps, but this is a disciple of Tiangui Sect, a big shark, and he is not afraid of being swallowed by the fish.

"What a trouble!"

Xu Hei cursed in his heart and greeted Lao Gou's family a thousand times.

Hei Huang was in front, the two people from Tiangui Sect were in the middle, and Xu Hei was in the back.

Unknowingly, the group chased to the most desolate place in the east of the city.

The houses here were damaged, and nine out of ten were empty. There were almost no people. It used to be the base of a gang, but it was later destroyed by the enemy. Several streets were slaughtered and it has been abandoned ever since.

Now, it has become a home for homeless people and stray dogs.

"Huh? Where are the people?"

Yu Qiang saw Hei Huang rushing into a dilapidated house, but when he walked over and looked, he didn't see any human figures, only a big black dog peeing in the corner.
