"A fellow traveler? What do you mean?"

Wang Pingbei was puzzled.

"nothing."

Xiao Chen shook his head and continued to look at the female practitioners around him.

In the ancient martial arts world, I have never seen so many female practitioners.

“…”

Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and felt that there was something strange in the tone of his voice when he said "fellow traveler".

The two of them walked slowly, not fast, getting closer and closer to the auction house.

There are more and more people around.

Men and women, young and old, practitioners, ordinary people, and the cries of vendors...

Coupled with the ancient buildings, Xiao Chen really felt like he was dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.

This is what the world of martial arts novels is like, right?

The world of martial arts is high and far away, yet it is also close to us.

Where there are people, there is the world.

"Beizi, didn't you say that there would be many big guys coming?"

Xiao Chen looked at the magnificent Longteng Club, no, Longteng Chamber of Commerce, a hundred meters away, and suddenly said.

"Yes, an auction of this scale will definitely attract many big shots."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

“Some of the items are of interest to them… But if they are interested, then we basically have nothing to do with them.”

"wrong."

Xiao Chen shook his head. He released his spiritual sense from time to time. Many strong men, but no super strong man noticed it.

This super strong man, that’s his own statement. Anyone stronger than him... can be considered a super strong man.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Pingbei was puzzled.

Xiao Chen looked around and released his spiritual sense again, but still found nothing.

However, an old man flying in the air caught his attention. This old guy was quite powerful, but probably not as strong as him.

However, he is not a super strong person.

The old man flying in the air seemed to have noticed something, so he stopped and looked down, but found nothing, so he slowly left.

"No big boss is coming..."

Seeing the old man leave, Xiao Chen released his spiritual sense again.

"No big boss is coming? Maybe he hasn't come yet, or maybe he will come in the afternoon?"

Wang Pingbei guessed.

"As a big shot, he has to be the last one to appear... Or maybe they are not interested in the items in the morning auction, so they won't come to join in the fun. They will come when the last item appears in the afternoon."

"It's possible, but it shouldn't be that no one comes."

Xiao Chen frowned.

"Not even one, that's a bit strange."

Wang Pingbei also frowned, thought of something, and lowered his voice.

"Brother Chen, could it be related to what happened last night?"

"Not really. Even if Shanhai Tower is one of the four major forces and has a great influence in Sifang City, it wouldn't be like this."

Xiao Chen thought about it and shook his head.

“Besides, there are other big guys from Sifang City, why don’t they come too?”

"Now that you put it that way, it's really not right."

Wang Pingbei looked around and his eyes fell on one place.

"Hey, isn't that Manager Chen? Brother Chen, how about we go ask him?"

"Okay."

Xiao Chen nodded and walked towards Manager Chen.

Manager Chen was giving instructions when he saw Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei coming over. He waved his hand and sent his men away.

"Mr. Chen..."

Manager Chen smiled and cupped his hands.

"Manager Chen."

Xiao Chen returned the greeting, and after a brief greeting, he asked about his doubts.

"Mr. Chen, you don't know..."

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Chen looked around and lowered his voice.

"Those big guys are all in the City Lord's Mansion right now."

"Are they all in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiao Chen was surprised, but then remained calm.

"Is it because of what happened at Shanhai Tower last night?"

"Yes and no..."

Manager Chen's voice was even lower.

"It is said that some people suspect that what happened last night was done by the Holy Heaven Sect... Therefore, City Lord Zhao summoned the big guys, including the strong outsiders, to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss early in the morning."

Listening to Manager Chen's words, Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were stunned.

Holy Heaven Religion?

Why is it related to Shengtian Sect again?

"Mr. Chen has just come out of seclusion, so he may not know much about the Holy Heaven Sect, which is notorious..."

Manager Chen looked around, fearing that there might be members of the Shengtian Sect nearby, and introduced them in a low voice.

"When it comes to the Holy Heaven Sect, City Lord Zhao and the others dare not be careless. If it is really them, then what happened last night is definitely just the beginning, and Sifang City will be in turmoil."

"I have some understanding of the Holy Heaven Sect, but...how did City Lord Zhao and the others connect last night's incident to the Holy Heaven Sect?"

Xiao Chen was very curious. The bloody words he wrote were 'the murderer and arsonist is Qingyunzi of Qingyun Tower', not 'Holy Heaven Sect', so he couldn't understand how it was related to the Holy Heaven Sect.

"I don't know about that. Maybe the bosses have found something."

Manager Chen shook his head.

"Even the person in charge of our Longteng Chamber of Commerce has gone to the City Lord's Mansion now."

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. Did he think that all the blood words he wrote were in vain?

Isn't the blame for this shit put on Qing Yunzi's head?

"Well, Manager Chen, what happened the night before yesterday was not also done by the Holy Heaven Cult, right?"

Wang Pingbei was also confused. He thought of something and asked hurriedly.

"It's about the murder of the young master of the Tianqing sect."

"There's no explanation for that, but I think it has nothing to do with the Holy Heaven Religion."

Manager Chen shook his head.

"How could the Holy Heaven Sect save an ordinary person? Unless the girl is extremely beautiful and the people from the Holy Heaven Sect also like her and take her away."

“…”

Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face. My goodness, the Shengtian Sect had a very bad reputation. To save someone, they had to be after their beauty?

"That's right, Manager Chen, now that you mention it, I also think it was done by the Shengtian Cult."

Wang Pingbei was filled with indignation.

"Otherwise, why hasn't the girl been found yet? They have committed many murders and arson... This must have been done by them."

"???"

Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked, "Was it the Shengtian Sect who did it? Don't you have any idea?"

"Keep your voice down... Who knows if there are any followers of the Holy Heaven Sect nearby?"

Manager Chen's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly.

"The followers of Shengtian Sect are everywhere."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"Manager Chen, what are the bosses going to do next?"

"That's not something I can know."

Manager Chen shook his head.

"They should still be discussing and will come up with a countermeasure... In the afternoon, they should come to the auction, one is to participate in the auction, and the other is to prevent the Holy Heaven Sect from causing trouble!"

"Why would a strong outsider want to get involved?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Logically speaking, it is only right for the strong men of Sifang City to be involved in this matter. After all, it happened in Sifang City, and the appearance of the Holy Heavenly Sect also harmed the interests of Sifang City.

"Mr. Chen, you don't know that the Holy Heaven Sect is almost the enemy of the entire Tianwaitian. As long as the Holy Heaven Sect is involved, no one can stay out of it."

Manager Chen said seriously.

"Once the Holy Heaven Sect appears, everyone will surely attack it."

"All right."

Xiao Chen nodded. It seemed that the reputation of the Shengtian Sect was even worse than he had imagined.

The enemy of the entire Tianwaitian?

At this moment, he was a little moved.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

However, it was only a fleeting thought and was quickly suppressed.

A gentleman has things he should do and things he should not do.

With what the Shengtian Sect has done, it is impossible for them to be friends, let alone allies.

If he dared to cooperate with the Shengtian Sect, the old fortune teller would skin him alive without anyone else's help.

"Mr. Chen, let's not talk too much for now. The person in charge is not here, so I have to take care of many things myself..."

Manager Chen said when he saw his men walking towards him.

"Do you need me to send someone to take you in?"

"No, just do your thing. We'll just take a stroll and go in soon."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Okay, I'll get busy then."

Manager Chen bowed and hurried away with his men.

“That’s great, that’s great…”

As soon as Manager Chen left, Wang Pingbei couldn't hide his excitement and kept exclaiming.

"What's so great?"

Xiao Chen was stunned.

"The Holy Heaven Religion."

Wang Pingbei lowered his voice.

"Brother Chen, now that Shengtian Sect has come out to take the blame, it has nothing to do with us anymore!"

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. It turned out that this guy had this in mind.

"Even if there is no Shengtian Sect, it has nothing to do with us. It was Qingyunzi who did it."

“But they didn’t believe it. But once the Holy Heaven Sect came out, they believed it.”

Wang Pingbei said with a smile.

"Next, they will definitely focus on the Holy Heaven Sect..."

"Beizi, I think you might have misunderstood... Have the Holy Heaven Sect come? No, right? So, who are they targeting? They mistakenly thought it was the Holy Heaven Sect, so they will be more vigilant and serious from now on until they catch the Holy Heaven Sect's people."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"ah?"

The smile on Wang Pingbei's face froze. After thinking about it again, it seemed to be true.

"Then...what should we do now?"

"I don't know what to do."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Don't worry about them for now. Just attend the auction. There's no point in overthinking. Everything will work out when the time comes."

"Will they blockade Sifang City and not let anyone leave?"

Wang Pingbei was a little worried.

"Before, they had no reason, but now that the 'Holy Heaven Cult' exists, they have a reason. No one can or dares to oppose it. Anyone who opposes it will most likely be labeled a 'Holy Heaven Cult follower' and anyone can kill him."

"Even if it is blocked, it is only temporary. It cannot be blocked forever."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Let's do the current work first, and then consider other things."

"Um."

Wang Pingbei suppressed his worries.

"Brother Chen, let's go in then."

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and took Wang Pingbei to the auction house.

He couldn't understand how this matter could be related to the "Holy Heaven Sect".

Only he didn't know Zhao Cangqiong, otherwise he would have to ask.

"My two friends, are you going to the auction?"

Suddenly, a female practitioner holding a sword came over and asked with a smile.

"right."

Xiao Chen took a look and found that he looked to be in his forties… However, all cultivators looked young, so his actual age might be in his fifties or sixties.

"Haha, I want to attend the auction too, why don't we go together?"

The female practitioner continued.

"I don't like being around strangers."

Xiao Chen shook his head and refused.

"Haha, if we get to know each other, we won't be strangers anymore, right? We can be friends."

The female practitioner said this and took a step forward.
