Sure enough, the next second, the Divine Lord said anxiously and angrily, "Shang Lin, don't stop me. I sensed the aura of a member of our race. It is very fragile and its life is in danger."

Shang Lin was taken aback and subconsciously looked towards the stage, because he really couldn't figure out where this aura of his own kind could come from. He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Then what are you going to do? Come out and become another person to be subdued? Don't be impatient, let me see the situation first."

The deity immediately refused, "No, if others see it, it will have no chance of survival. Dragons are full of treasures, how can they escape the greed of humans? Quickly create some chaos, and I'll have the little snake take it away."

"You...you're trying to rob me outright!"

Although Shang Lin said that, he used a trick to take out a talisman and secretly flicked it at the camera in the darkest place closest to him. The talisman, which was already carrying lightning and fire, was even more powerful when it collided with the electric light.

It was as if an explosive had suddenly detonated in the hall. All the cameras and lights went out, and the scene became chaotic. Everyone instinctively ran towards the door, and Shang Lin followed along, but he took the opportunity to get closer to the black cloth.

After confirming that Shenjun and She Jinxing had left the tower under the cover of the black cloth, he ran out with everyone. However, several people were running against the flow of people, pushing and shoving each other while shouting, "Our prey, our prey!"

However, the power that people unleash at critical moments of life and death is absolutely beyond imagination, let alone going against the flow of people. When they rushed in and lifted the black cloth, the large iron cage was empty, but the talismans pasted on the cage were intact.

Security personnel quickly extinguished the fire with fire extinguishers, preventing a major fire. However, the auction was abruptly ended as a result. The people who had lost their prey shouted, "Nobody is allowed to leave! Our prey is lost! We can only leave after we find everyone!"

Shang Lin touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. It was really not very kind of him to snatch someone else's prey like this. However, the prey was still in the cage, it was just being disguised.

The reason is simple: the talismans on the cage have little effect on She Jinxing and the Divine Lord, but they have a significant impact on the prey. They can't bring it out, let alone take it away.

This was something none of them had anticipated, and now there was nothing they could do but wait for an opportunity. But thinking about it, it made sense; such rare prey deserved multiple layers of protection.

Although those people were yelling and shouting to stop everyone from leaving, everyone was more or less frightened and didn't know what the prey was, so who would be willing to cooperate?

So someone immediately retorted, "We don't even know what it is, so why can't we leave?"

"Who wouldn't be frightened by something like this happening so suddenly? Who can we turn to for justice?"

"That's right, that's right! Aren't we being wronged?!"

"..."

The crowd started arguing and chattering, and the scene quickly became chaotic. One side wanted to stay, while the other wanted to leave, so in the end everyone agreed to find the organizers.

In the chaos, Shang Lin finally saw clearly that the four men who had lost their prey were actually quadruplets, looking exactly alike. If it weren't for their different clothes, people would probably believe they were the same person.

However, the quadruplets had an excessive amount of blood energy and were entangled in resentment. They must have done a lot of killing. Although Shang Lin couldn't tell from their faces, he could tell they were not good people. He wondered which sect they belonged to.

If the hidden families or sects are like this, or if there are such people, then there's really no reason to have any expectations. Shang Lin secretly transmitted his voice to A Chou, "Could you take advantage of the chaos to smudge the talismans on that cage?"

Although this sounds unreliable, if Ah Chou is strong enough, he could definitely do it. But Ah Chou said, "I can try, but we will definitely be exposed."

Shang Lin, "..."

This is indeed a problem. The talisman is passive, so it's impossible for it to have no reaction at all. Although everyone is excited right now, they are all here, and any movement will be discovered in a minute.

At this point, the organizers quickly came up with a solution: testing. How easy would it be to take such a large prey out? It would definitely require extraordinary storage space.

Such storage space is almost non-existent nowadays, so it's easy to test for it. This test also includes testing all the different types of objects, so it's a two-pronged approach.

But even those who wanted to leave disagreed with this plan. "If you do this, what secrets will we have left? What if we get targeted by someone again and there's danger? Who will take responsibility for us then?"

Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts. Revealing all your secrets is tantamount to suicide, so who would want to do that?

So someone immediately chimed in, "That's right, this incident is clearly the organizer's responsibility. They didn't check the circuit properly, so why should we, the people who came to participate in the auction, bear the consequences?"

"And what is the organizer's intention in doing this? Is it to take this opportunity to find out the details of each of our factions? That's really a sinister intention."

"We refuse..."

Both the organizers and the victims were innocent. Shang Lin felt that he had just stirred up more hatred for himself, but he couldn't just stand by and watch them die. He just didn't know if he could successfully take the things out of the cage.

Upon hearing this, the organizers immediately objected, "We do bear responsibility, but was that explosion just a simple electrical problem? Didn't anyone smell phosphorus?"

"I believe everyone here is intelligent and should know that this is clearly something someone did intentionally, so please cooperate. However, for everyone's future safety, our testing will be conducted in secrecy, and we guarantee that everything except the auctioned items will be kept confidential."

Someone immediately questioned, "What makes you so sure? You might as well use this time to investigate the person who caused this trouble. If one camera is broken, does that mean all the cameras are broken? I don't believe you only have the cameras that are visible. There must be hidden ones. Why don't you investigate them? You're clearly using this as an excuse to cover up your ulterior motives."

Someone quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. You're just shirking responsibility and even trying to confuse the public. Otherwise, why don't you find out the truth as soon as possible instead of making things difficult for us?"

Shang Lin felt that everyone's words made a lot of sense. Although the organizers wanted to find out the truth, it was absolutely impossible for them to do so without any selfish motives. Anyway, he didn't believe it.

The organizer's spokesperson hurriedly said, "Someone is already checking the surveillance footage, but..."
