Chapter 493 Showing Off Skills

"You were targeted when selling antiques?" Zhang Yuanqing's drowsiness vanished, and he sat up, his tone serious.

"You're still at Wanbao House, right? What's the situation now? What's Lian Sanyue's attitude? How did you get targeted?"

Xiahou Aotian's annoyed voice came from the speaker:

"Today I went to collect the money, and she suddenly told me that recently, there have been two groups of people lurking suspiciously around Wanbao House."

"One group is from the Huacheng branch and the Zhao family, and the other is unknown."

"That woman said that the Zhao family betrayed her. The antiques she sold through the Zhao family auction house were reported to the authorities by the Zhao family in secret."

"After the auction, the authorities immediately came to her door and negotiated with her, hoping to obtain the information of the consignor from her, but Lian Sanyue refused."

"Since then, the Huadu branch has arranged for people to stake out outside Wanbao House. Fortunately, this Main Character is quick-witted and disguised himself before coming, otherwise I would have been exposed."

Who doesn't disguise themselves beforehand? No fool would change their appearance at the entrance of Wanbao House... Zhang Yuanqing said:

"So, what now?"

"Now a large force is ambushed near Wanbao House. As soon as I go out, I will be captured." Xiahou Aotian said angrily:

"Lian Sanyue is such a useless woman. It's clearly her incompetence, but she was smoking a cigar and told me to find a companion to help."

The Zhao family, tsk, if they knew that the person selling the antiques was Yuanshi Tianzun, they would be as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The Qin Feng Academy incident just happened, and the authorities issued a document to all branches, paying attention to any Qin Dynasty props and antiques being sold. As a result, several more Qin Dynasty antiques appeared on the market in a few days. It would be strange if the Huadu branch was unaware, especially with the Zhao family actively informing them.

Moreover, this matter is too coincidental. As soon as I became famous and made a fortune, the auctioned antiques were targeted. Besides the authorities, the only other people who know about the Qin Feng Academy incident are the Dark Night Rose. The other group is probably Dark Night Rose...

Zhang Yuanqing was wary, suspecting that Lian Sanyue was cooperating with the authorities or Dark Night Rose to lure him out, but he didn't think it was in Lian Sanyue's style.

This chaotic neutral woman values her reputation, and she has already promised to keep this matter secret.

"Why did Lian Sanyue choose to auction through the Zhao family's channels? She's actively provoking the authorities."

"Ah, this..." Xiahou Aotian suddenly stammered.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately had a bad feeling:

"What exactly did you say to Lian Sanyue?"

"I entrusted Lian Sanyue to auction the antiques and keep the transaction confidential." Xiahou Aotian's only advantage is honesty.

So you're the kid who wanted to auction them? Well done, but don't do it again... Black lines appeared on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.

"Even if you haven't smuggled antiques, you've seen movies, right? Shouldn't this kind of transaction be done by secretly finding a buyer and completing the transaction in a deserted mountain or a dark secret room? Aren't Scholars supposed to be intelligent? I don't see it in you at all." He complained.

"You guys didn't object when I auctioned the antiques in the group. Besides, high intelligence is reflected in strong learning ability, but it has nothing to do with competence. The latter depends more on experience." Xiahou Aotian retorted, then his voice softened:

"You have to hurry up. I've already asked for help in the group. It's best to bring Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, and Tianxia Guihuo with you."

Foolish, if it's an ambush, wouldn't we all be caught in one fell swoop? Zhang Yuanqing said:

"There aren't many customers coming and going from Wanbao House. You disguise yourself, take the money, and leave. They won't be able to lock on to you."

Many evil professionals come and go to Wanbao House. If the authorities searched them one by one, there would have been conflicts long ago. Then Xiahou Aotian could take advantage of the chaos and slip away easily.

Xiahou Aotian said unhappily:

"Are you stupid? Sixty million requires several large boxes to hold. If I leave with cash, I will definitely be discovered. Not everyone has a red hat like you."

"Then exchange it for materials?" Zhang Yuanqing realized that he was misled by habitual thinking.

"The authorities have sent high-level executives to guard Wanbao House. Several evil professionals have already been caught. No one has come to Wanbao House these days. I am the only customer today. If I go out, I will definitely be caught." Xiahou Aotian sighed:

"Lian Sanyue said that the authorities are afraid of her, so they dare not enter Wanbao House to make trouble, but she can only take a step back and tolerate them waiting outside."

"Okay, I got it. You stay in Wanbao House and keep in touch." Zhang Yuanqing said helplessly.

Hanging up the phone, he opened the chat group.

He found that Xiahou Aotian had already asked for help in the group. Sun Miaomiao, Tianxia Guihuo, and Zhao Chenghuang had a surprisingly consistent stance and opinion when they heard that someone was targeting the stolen money.

[Sun Miaomiao: You wait, I'm coming over now to kill those guys in the Huadu branch.]

[Zhao Chenghuang: Let's talk about the situation in detail first. Killing them is possible, but we need to plan carefully.]

[Tianxia Guihuo: Yes, we need to be wary of the enemy setting a trap, but whoever dares to target our money, no matter who it is, don't think they'll get away with it.]

Zhang Yuanqing typed a message, @All:

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Don't come over yet. I'll handle this matter. If I can't solve it, it'll be the same even if you come.]

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun finally responded to Xiahou Aotian's request for help, Sun Miaomiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, if the level 6 Yuanshi Tianzun can't handle it, it would be even more dangerous for them to go.

Zhao Chenghuang hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent.

He really wanted to go to Huadu to see Yuanshi Tianzun's current state.

Zhang Yuanqing put down his phone, grabbed the ghost mirror, and looked at himself. His face was normal, and the light of the twelve palaces was clear and pure, without any fluctuations.

To be on the safe side, he took out the Daluo Star Plate and used the compass and stars to observe his trip to Huadu.

"There is no danger, but it's not night, so I can't see the specific future scenes..."

"Star divination and stargazing can't see any flaws, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely safe. Members of Dark Night Rose can apply for secret protection."

"However, the authorities are only negotiating with Lian Sanyue and chose to stake out outside Wanbao House, which shows that they have no evidence that the Qin Dynasty antiques flowed out of Qin Feng Academy. It's just that the timing is too coincidental, so they're investigating."

"Otherwise, Elder Jiangbao would have gone to Lian Sanyue in person. In that case, Dark Night Rose would be even less certain. If they can't even confirm the source of the antiques, it's even more impossible for them to ambush me in advance."

"But I can't be careless. I have to make a detailed plan. At this time, the advantages of a Night Wanderer are reflected."

........

Huadu, Wanbao House.

Kakarot, oh no, Xiahou Aotian crossed his arms, his brow bones protruding, and looked at the entrance of the small shop with a proud gaze, as if he was about to fight Majin Buu.

A dozen meters away on the left, Lian Sanyue, wearing a black leather jacket, a black tube top, and chewing on a cigar, leaned lazily on the back of her chair and smiled lazily:

"If you had said in advance that the auction would attract the attention of the authorities, I would have found someone to buy it privately. Although the money would be less, it would be safer."

Xiahou Aotian raised his chin and said in a deep voice:

"No, money is more important than safety."

"Indeed, you're already broke." Lian Sanyue joked with a smile, "Now that you have money, do you want to bet on the Hundred Refinements Furnace again?"

The corner of Xiahou Aotian's mouth twitched: "Woman, you've angered me."

Lian Sanyue chuckled: "Give me ten million, and I'll take you out. How about this deal?"

Xiahou Aotian refused outright: "Why don't you just rob me!"

Lian Sanyue smiled and exhaled white smoke. This guy is very interesting and always brings her fun. Lian Sanyue originally wanted to give him a 25% discount, but she didn't expect to be rejected outright.

It seems that he has a lot of confidence in his companions.

"This time it's my fault. The Zhao family betrayed me, obviously retaliating. Think about it again, I can give you a discount."

"Why does the Zhao family want to retaliate against you?" Xiahou Aotian ignored any suggestions that required spending money.

"You know Yuanshi Tianzun, right? A while ago, he seriously injured Zhao Feichen of the Zhao family. I secretly instigated it." Lian Sanyue said frankly:

"It just so happened that the antiques you gave me were of dubious origin, so they targeted you. Next time you have anything shady, remember to say it in advance."

The Zhao family and Yuanshi Tianzun have a grudge? How does this guy always oppose the Spirit Realm families...

At this moment, the phone in Xiahou Aotian's pocket rang. He quickly took out his phone, answered the call, and activated the silencer he was wearing on his chest.

"Open the gang warehouse and apply for the last black bead."

As soon as the phone was connected, Yuanshi Tianzun's voice came over.

Xiahou Aotian opened the "Return of the Dead" gang warehouse and asked, "Then what?"

"Then wait for three minutes, take the money and leave Wanbao House. I will secretly solve the enemies for you." Zhang Yuanqing said.

Xiahou Aotian found the black bead surrounded by Yin energy. After reading the item attributes, he sent a usage application to the gang leader Yuanshi Tianzun.

[Ding! Your application has been approved! Please check the item in your inventory.]

Hearing the Spirit Realm notification sound, Xiahou Aotian opened his inventory and took out the bead.

As soon as the cold jade bead was taken out, a wisp of illusory green smoke rose gracefully, turning into a charming woman with affectionate eyes.

Xiahou Aotian knew that the bead was a prop that contained a soul. He turned his head and looked around, but could not see the spirit body.

Lian Sanyue, behind the cashier, raised her eyebrows.

In her perception, a powerful vengeful spirit was standing next to Kakarot, the kind that was at the top of the Saint stage.

"Level 6 Dream Controller, um, should be level 6..." The voice of the Qin Dynasty warlock echoed in Xiahou Aotian's mind.

What? Level 6 Dream Controller?

Level 6 Dream Controller, is it Yichuan Mei? Yuanshi Tianzun, this guy, actually enslaved her. At Yashan Sea, I was one level higher than him, but now he is one level higher than me...

Xiahou Aotian was shocked and immediately widened his eyes and looked around.

"No need to look, she's gone out." The old grandfather's laughter came from the ring: "She even glanced at me before she left, which means she sensed my existence. Well, I think I know Yuanshi Tianzun's plan. Get ready to leave in three minutes."

........

Outside Wanbao House, in the narrow alley corner, the Huadu branch's "Zhao Gongming", maintaining Night Wanderer status, held a walkie-talkie and said:

"Everything is normal at Wanbao House. No one has gone out."

Immediately afterward, a response came from the walkie-talkie: "There are no traces of being stepped on the 'reveal powder' sprinkled outside the shop."

Responding to Zhao Gongming was a level 5 Swordsman, an executive from the Baiji district of the Huadu branch.

Zhao Gongming was also a level 5 Star Official.

"The surrounding surveillance cameras have not seen any suspicious people approaching, and the invisible drone has not detected any suspicious targets either."

The third voice came from the walkie-talkie. It was the Zhao family's Alchemist.

The Zhao family not only actively provided intelligence this time, but also actively participated in the operation. Zhao Gongming inquired and learned that the Zhao family's beloved son was seriously injured, and it was inseparable from the Wanbao House's hostess.

Therefore, when Lian Sanyue auctioned the antiques through the Zhao family channels, the Zhao family immediately reported it to the Huadu branch and volunteered to participate in the operation.

They eagerly wanted to catch the person behind the scenes in order to drag Lian Sanyue down.

The situation was currently unclear, and the evidence was insufficient. Even the Zhao family could not move Lian Sanyue, the Master. Therefore, they assisted the authorities and joined forces with the Huadu branch to deal with her.

Based on this reason, the Huadu branch happily agreed to the Zhao family's request.

At this moment, a gust of wind howled, and transparent wind blades swept past, causing the drones circling in the high sky to explode.

The power grid in this old district was also destroyed at the same time, and the surrounding surveillance stopped working.

"Wind blades? Wind Mage? That guy's accomplice has taken action." The Zhao family's Alchemist said urgently on the walkie-talkie.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming, in an invisible state, saw the weirdo disguised as an anime protagonist rushing out of the Wanbao House's store with six suitcases.

Zhao Gongming said quickly: "The target has appeared, all teams pay attention, block the entrances and exits, and immediately implement the arrest when you see someone carrying six suitcases..."

After speaking, he was about to pursue the target when he suddenly saw a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask, wearing black gloves, suddenly appearing a few meters in front of him. She delivered a whip kick with a "pa" sound.

Also a Night Wanderer? She saw me?

Zhao Gongming felt a chill in his heart, crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the whip kick, and summoned a Spirit Servant.

"Bang!"

His arms felt like they had been hit by a heavy truck, instantly fracturing his bones. He crashed heavily against the wall, and the red brick wall cracked.

The Spirit Servant summoned by Zhao Gongming was pinched in the palm of the Night Wanderer woman's hand.

With just a gentle squeeze, the Spirit Servant would be annihilated.

Zhao Gongming endured the pain, turned into starlight and disappeared, reappearing at the other end of the alley. He raised the walkie-talkie and roared:

"Support me..."

Just as he finished roaring, he heard a hoarse laughter from the walkie-talkie:

"Okay, I'll come and support you after I've dealt with your companions."

Afterward, another hoarse voice came:

"I've already taken care of this useless Scholar."

........

After Yichuan Mei left, Xiahou Aotian heard faint sounds of fierce fighting and screams in the distance. Based on his trust in Yuanshi Tianzun, he waited for three minutes before picking up the six suitcases and rushing out of the store.

Lian Sanyue sat lazily at the cashier, put on a pair of women's glasses, and looked intently at something, as if her eyes could penetrate the building.

"All Yin corpses? The appearance has been disguised, interesting..."

During his sprinting run, Xiahou Aotian left the old district without any surprises or dangers. He looked around on the street and stopped a taxi.

"Go to the suburbs, the more remote the better, two thousand yuan." He shouted at the driver's seat.

Hearing this, the driver enthusiastically opened the door and got out of the car, helping him put the boxes in the trunk.

In less than half a minute, the taxi merged into the traffic and quickly drove away.

Xiahou Aotian vigilantly stared out of the window and behind him, fearing being followed, but as the taxi gradually left the city and came to the suburbs, and then left the suburbs and entered the national highway...

There were very few vehicles on the road.

It seems that no one is chasing after him! He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take out his phone to contact Yuanshi Tianzun... Suddenly, he saw the driver in the driver's seat stiffen, had a moment of rigidity, and then recovered.

He was possessed!

Xiahou Aotian was knowledgeable and immediately saw the driver's state.

Instinctively, he was about to take out his props to fight, but in the next second, a cold chill pressed against his back, freezing his hands and feet instantly and solidifying his blood.

A powerful force invaded his body and took control of his body.

He was also possessed.

The middle-aged driver turned his head, revealing a sinister smile:

"Thank you to your companion for holding back the authorities, allowing us to pick up a big bargain. Tsk tsk, I've never seen sixty million in cash. I'll accept it without ceremony."

........

ps: After a busy day, the matter is resolved.
